A/N - Sorry that this took so long but I finally got a working computer. And I know that this is a short chapter but I wanted to give you guys something as I write the next chapter (I promise that it will be a long one)
Chapter seven
On the Asgard Ship
Thor hadn't said anything more to ether of them; he was concentrating, so when he spoke it was a slight shock to them. "The computer has finished sequencing the DNA. I am receiving the results now." Thor moved some tings around on the control panel and a hologram of the DNA appeared. If Thor had facial expressions is would have shown shock. "This has to be incorrect."
"What is it?" Sam was on the verge of despair.
Jack had gone pale again. He started prepare himself for the bad news; using his training he washed himself of all emotion.
Thor moved some things on the control panel again. "It appears to be that the child that you are carrying is an Ancient."
Sam was relieved, her child was okay. Jack on the other hand was completely blown away by the news. He was expecting something much worse. So when he spoke it was clear to see that he was bewildered. "Is that even possible?"
By this time Sam had figured it out. Well, most of it. "It was the device; it saw that Colonel O'Neill had the Ancient gene." She was speaking more to Thor than to Jack.
"You are correct." Thor blinked
Sam caught her mistake "But that still doesn't explain it. If any thing the baby will only have the gene, it wouldn't be an Ancient." Sam was heading in to her problem solving mode. This situation was presenting a mystery to her.
Thor's blank face tilted as he spoke. "That would be true if the device had not been altered. I did a scan of it and it appears that it was altered to make the most advance human possible with the DNA that it was given, upon further scans I noticed that it was also capable of expanding the DNA. The Goa'uld who modified it was most likely trying to bread a more advance host." Thor moved some stones on his control panel and the hologram of the DNA zoomed in to one sequence. "This is what most concerns me. This is a gene that allows the Goa'uld to pass on their memories."
Jack had never been one to fallow even a slightly scientific conversation but this was too important to him. Because of this Sam and Thor were a little taken back when Jack spoke. "I get the whole Ancient thing but how can the baby have a Goa'uld gene?"
"When the Tok'ra Joilnar died it was absorbed by Samantha's body. Parts of her DNA attached it self to Samantha's. The device was able to connect enough fragments to complete the sequence, but that is not what troubles me. What worries me, O'Neill, is what information you might have passed on"
Talk about being confused. Jack, along with Sam, had no idea what Thor was talking about. "What I might have passed on? Don't you think that what Carter knows might be a little more concerning?"
Thor shot him down with one statement. "Samantha is not the one with the entire Ancient repository storied in her subconscious mind."
Jack was speechless. Sam on the other hand was stunned. "Do you mean to say…?"
Thor picked up were Sam trailed off. "There is a 97.8 percent chance that the child will have these memories, but unlike O'Neill it will not be locked away."
"'Locked away?' I thought you removed it!" Jack didn't know yet if he was angry, but he was on the border line.
Thor seemed as calm as ever as he talked. "When you came to us we tried to remove the data from your mind but found that we could not. We instead returned the information to its compact form and sealed it in your subconscious."
"Are you telling me that at any given moment my kid might snap? And what about me will I snap too?" This was a hell of a day for Jack. He could remember all too well how the Ancient repository nearly took over his mind. It was not a pleasant sensation for Jack, losing his mind. It's something he rather not have happen again, much less have it happen to his unborn child.
"No that is quite impossible. The method that we used was permanent. Even if we wanted to there is no way of recovering that information. You are quite safe. Hence the reason that you were left alone but I can not give the same guarantee of safety for your child. As for its sanity, its mind is more advanced than even I would have thought. Their will be no damage."
With that Sam switched over to her protective mode. "What do you mean you can't guarantee its safety?"
"There are some among us that believe that the key to solving our genetic problems my have rested in the Ancient repository stored in O'Neill's mind. By using the method that we did, the Counsel eliminated the chance any one had to experiment. Your child presents them with a new opportunity." Thor blinked as he yet aging rearranged the stones on his control panel. The hologram zoomed out then back in on another part of the DNA. "The Counsel unknowingly made matters worse. This is the marker that we put in O'Neill so that he may not be successfully cloned. The device had modified it so that the child may not be cloned at all. If any other Asgard wants the repository they would have to take your child."
On Earth in the conference room
It has been nearly an hour since Sam and Jack had been taken by the Asgard and Jacob was ready to blow a fuse. How dare the Asgard come and take his little girl with out even asking him, much less take off with out him. Jacob just about had it. He was about to go back to the Tok'ra's headquarters and come back with a ship to look for them when, with a flash, Jack and Sam repapered. "About time you two showed up. What the hell happened up there?" Jacob's raised voice was what drew out Hammond from his office.
They responded with silence. Neither Sam nor Jack knew what to say. It's not that they didn't want to say what happened but they didn't know how to start.
Hammond broke the silence. "Jack did every thing turn out okay?"
Seeing how as Hammond directly asked Jack, he was the one who replied. "Well besides the fact that the baby is an Ancient with the entire Ancient repository down loaded in its mind and because of that at any given moment a rebel Asgard might come and kidnap Carter; everything is peachy."
