Sam continued to be bothered by her calculations on the systems chronic database. Sam was convinced something was off and yet no one else seemed to notice. The only information she had was her laptop and a few calculations, not exactly dead on proof. But she knew that the system chronic numbers should always be the same. Maybe, she thought, she would run her calculations past Daniel and Adria; they seem to be very instinctive about dimensional changes.
Adria and Daniel were re-checking their course to the Baron system. Adria had hoped that once on the planet they would be able to retrieve the 2nd medallion. It's believed to have the powers to stop the Ori. Daniel was anxious as usual to find some new artifact but with Adria helping him it was a plus. He had seen qualities in her that he had only noticed back on the Prometheus. She was intelligent beyond what she projected; she was extremely curious, almost obsessive to the point that he had to pull her from her research several times to take a break. Her smile lit up the room and she was playful to the point he always felt at ease when he was around her. He knew she had a tough time leaving her mother's watchful eye and her being the daughter of the Orici had it's downfall on whether she could be trusted by SGC. She had won SG1's trust by giving them the coordinates to the first medallion and fighting Ori soldiers on P9-12. Daniel was indeed pleased she had defected and proven herself an asset to the team.
The Prometheus was a light year away from the Baron system. The Captain had not detected they were being followed by the Ori ship. Col Mitchell and Teal'c were checking weapons and an alternate escape plan in case they ran into trouble. Sam had informed Mitchell that she was working on a project and she would join them when they entered the Baron system. Sam needed to know if any other systems were effected or any one of them were affected by any abnormality in the phase change going thru hyperspace. She wanted to be sure before she presented any information to Col Mitchell. Something was wrong and her instincts told her that something was out of place, something familiar.
Adria was busy trying to stay one step ahead of her mother. She knew her mother would be relentless to get her hands on the medallions and would even kill to stop anyone from stopping the Ori. She had thoughts back to when her mother was instructing her of Origin.
Adria, you must never allow your enemy to see fear from you. You are my daughter; the way of Origin is absolute. When a non believer see's us as evil, they are misled. They do not see the wisdom of our order. Origin only can release them from their pain in life, give them a purpose to serve and be happy.
But mother, why must we harm them? Wouldn't it be wiser to let them decide for themselves what is good and what is evil? In their eyes we are forcing them to choose or die. They see us as an evil entity, a life of forced servitude for the rest of their lives, why would they want to follow us?
We do not give them a choice Adria. I thought you understood that. You are too sentimental. Evil must be expelled from the universe. It has been too long that they have been without a guide to enlightenment, the true path to happiness. The Ori are here to show them the path; they are like children, they must be instructed to believe what is important in their lost lives. To long have they been without instruction, divine intervention is our way.
Adria, at the time believed her mother. She was instructed by Tomin daily the only true teacher in her life. He was always patient, playful and quit. To Adria, he was the most kindess being she had ever met. Her mother, Vala was not as patient as Adria would have liked. Her mother was the Orici and she acted the part. There was no room to waste time on whether a planet would bow to Ori, you submitted or die. That was her mother's way and she could not accept what the book of Origin claimed as a universal cleansing. Adria knew she loved her mother and she felt that her mother had some sort of maternal feeling for her if only to serve by the Orici's side. But somehow her mothers mission seemed to her to be twisted. Only when she had secretly contacted SGC and met with Daniel Jackson that she felt she was on the right path. She knew her mother needed to be stopped and did not relish the fact that she may have to destroy her to do it. Adria wanted a life away from the Ori, to explore the galaxy, make a difference in others lives. Daniel had given her a sense of security, that she was part of a team and could be trusted. She hoped to prove him right.
