Chapter 7

"Hey" Sam said as she walked into the infirmary looking for Janet.

"Hey" Janet replied as she put down the x ray she was looking and moved to sit on one of the beds opposite the one Sam had just sat on.

"We still gonna go see that movie this weekend"

"Yeah but Cassie isn't coming, she's going out with her friends"

"They grow up so fast" Sam said smiling.

"Too fast, you know the weirdest thing happened to me today. I was in my office doing paperwork when all of a sudden I saw myself standing in this huge building on a balcony overlooking a stargate and then I was back in my office again. I guess I'm not getting enough sleep but the weird part is…"

"It felt like a memory" Sam finished cutting Janet off for which she received a questioning look. "I was in my lab earlier and then suddenly I was standing outside a cabin somewhere and then I was back in my lab. I know I've never been anywhere like that but it felt like a memory, I thought I dozed off or something"

"Think it's a coincidence?"

"I don't know, anyway" Sam said changing the subject "I came to see if you wanted to come and get something to eat"

"Sounds like a plan"

"Great, we'll figure our little mystery out later"

---

"So anyway I was really bored and I was about to come looking for someone to annoy when all of a sudden I was standing at a party looking scruffy and then I was back here again, it was really weird, it felt like a memory" Jack explained to Daniel as the two of them sat in the commissary.

"But it's never actually happened" Daniel said knowingly "I was in my office and then I was in a house I didn't recognise and then I was in my office again"

"Coincidence?"

"Maybe"

"Hey guys" Sam said as she and Janet joined them at the table"

"Hey, Daniel and I were just discussing our little daydreams we had today"

Janet and Sam exchanged a look that Jack recognised immediately and it only ever brought them trouble "What do you mean daydreams?"

"Well one minute we were here, the next we were somewhere else and then we were here again" Daniel explained.

"And it felt like a memory" Janet finished.

"Okay, you're all creeping me out" Jack said.

"The same thing happened to me and Janet"

"Me as well" Teal'c said as he also joined them, having heard the last part of their conversation.

"This can't be a coincidence" Sam said thoughtfully.

"And is it a coincidence than we have all had flashes of events that feel like memories but we know have never happened right after we get a note form the future? Janet asked.

"No that's not possible" Daniel said.

"Isn't it" Sam said deep in thought now "Maybe we are seeing future events"

"But that future doesn't exist anymore"

"Look it's no coincidence that we've all had these flashes and Janet's right, it's no coincidence that we happen to have them just after we receive a note form the future either"

"Maybe we should talk to Hammond"

"He's in a debriefing with SG3 right now, this can wait until afterwards" Jack said dismally, he knew he was about get a physical which would inevitably involve being poked and prodded and at some point, needles.

---

An hour later SG1 sat in the briefing room with Hammond as they explained what had happened and what their theory was.

"I agree this seems too coincidental but surely there must be another explanation"

"Sir, I've been thinking" Sam said "It's possible that when we sent that note back from the future, the memories of our future selves may have come back with it"

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know sir, it's just a theory"

"Then why only the five of you, why not everyone else?"

"I don't know sir, like I said it's just a…" Sam started to say but suddenly found herself standing in a large building. She was standing in front of the stargate with a crowd of people including Janet, Daniel and Teal'c" Suddenly she was back in the briefing room.

"Carter?" Jack said for the third time, finally getting her attention.

"Sorry sir, I was just…"

"Somewhere else?" he asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, it was a big building, the stargate was in it"

"It had big glass windows and a balcony overlooking the stargate with an escalator leading down to it?" Janet asked.

"Yeah, how'd you…?"

"I saw the same thing earlier"

"So now we know whatever we're all seeing is connected" Daniel said.

Janet was about to say something when she noticed Teal'c staring blankly at the table in front of him "Teal'c?"

"Yo Teal'c" Jack said a little louder.

"I am sorry" Teal'c said when he finally rejoined them "I believe I was on Chulak, I was talking to another Jaffa about the defeat of the Goa'uld"

"Well at least we know something good happened in the future" Daniel said.

"Janet" Sam said "Janet"

"Sorry, I was…"

"Elsewhere, we know" Jack said getting sick of everyone popping in and out of this briefing.

"What did you see?" Daniel asked.

"I think it was Chulak" Janet said confused "When Teal'c mentioned Chulak I had another flash, I was standing by the stargate on Chulak talking to Teal'c about something, I don't know what"

"Maybe the word Chulak brought back a memory, like when you hear a song you listened to when you were a kid"

"So when Janet heard the word Chulak it acted like a trigger, bringing up a memory of being on Chulak?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah" Sam said shrugging.

"So we are calling them memories?" Jack asked.

"There's no other explanation"

"I want you all to report to the infirmary" Hammond said and then stopped for a moment when Jack's head dropped to the table "And undergo a full series of tests"

"I knew you were gonna say that" Jack muffled voice said as he leant his forehead on the table.

---

"You're all in perfect health, I can't explain it" Dr Warner said to SG1, Dr Frasier and General Hammond.

"Then why are we all remembering things that haven't happened yet?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know"

"Until we figure out what this is" Hammond started and stopped once again as he saw Jack's head drop "I'm going to confine you all to one of the V.I.P rooms".

"I knew you were going to say that too"

---

Jack looked over to where Daniel, Janet and Teal'c were sitting on the Sofa's in their V.I.P room. Teal'c was sitting on one of the sofa's and Daniel and Janet were sitting on the other.

"He has a thing for her you know?" Jack said to Sam who was sat next to him on the computer.

"He told you that?"

"No I can just tell"

"Yeah, I can tell Janet has a thing for Daniel too"

"Really?"

Sam nodded her head.

"Wow"

"So what was your first memory flash about?" Sam asked curiously.

"I was at a party looking really scruffy, you?"

"I was at a cabin somewhere, I knocked on the door, I looked really nervous"

"Was the cabin next to a lake?"

"Yeah"

"It was my cabin in Minnesota"

Sams had to stop her eyes from going wide and wished she hadn't added the nervous comment.

Jack looked at Sam for a moment before he suddenly found himself standing in the embarkation room of the SGC. He had just come back through the gate with the rest of his team and a man he didn't recognise. The man was talking to Sam, no wait, he was flirting with her.

"What did you see?" Sam asked as Jack found himself once again standing in the VIP room.

"We were in the gate room, we had just come back through the gate with a man I don't recognise, you were talking to him" he said opting out of telling her that he was flirting with her, the thought made his stomach turn.

---

Teal'c sat quietly in the VIP room listening to his friends talking about what they remembered. They had all had a few memory flashes in the last few hours they had been locked in here but nothing important, it was always something like walking down a street, standing in buildings or sitting in rooms that they didn't recognise.

They hadn't seen anyone since they had been put in here, not even General Hammond had been in to check on them. Jack and Sam had moved over to join the rest of them on the sofa's.

Suddenly Teal'c was sitting at a long table in a large room, the rest of his team were there and there was another man who Teal'c didn't recognise. The man was talking to a group of people sitting at the opposite side of the table. They were discussing an alliance.

"Teal'c?" Sam asked as he finally rejoined his friends in the VIP room.

"We were in a large room, sitting at a long table with a man I do not recognise, he was discussing an alliance between the Tau'ri and the Ashen"

"Ashen?" Daniel asked rhetorically as he turned the word over in his head "That's important"

"What makes you say that?" Jack asked.

"I don't know, I just feel like it's important"
