Adria was in the Prometheus lab trying to decipher the medallion along with Daniel when she fell to the floor holding her head.
"Adria? Adria what's wrong?" Daniel asked concerned.
"I – I felt thousands of screams, pain, suffering and then suddenly silenced, as if………….Oh, no mother wouldn't."
"Mother? What do you mean?"
"Don't be naïve Daniel, mother has done something terrible. I think she has destroyed Baal's planet. She is capable of much evil and this is just the beginning. I felt like my head explode with shear terror. I know mother had something to do with this."
"You can't be serious. How could she destroy an entire planet?"
"Mother has access to much ancient technology and weapons and she will use it without remorse."
"What can we do?" Asked Daniel.
"We need to find the other medallion Daniel. We need to stop the Ori and my mother." Said Adria.
"Adria; do you know what you're saying? You're talking about killing your mother to stop her."
"I know Daniel. She's my mother, but look what's happened. Something terrible has happened to silence thousands of innocent people and I felt it Daniel. Death; I felt nothing but shear terror and death. I've seen what the Ori really are and nothing will stop the Orici from trying to get her hands on the medallion. I have suspected all along that she wanted this medallion for her own power, not just for Origin."
"Then we will find the last piece Adria. We can't allow your mother to spread death and destruction across the galaxy." Said Daniel.
He helped Adria up from the floor and kissed her tenderly, and Adria responded back. The finally broke apart and continued their quest to decipher the medallion and find the last location of the 3rd medallion.
Sam was maintaining her illusion that everything was fine, but it wasn't. Col Mitchell, Daniel, Adria and Teal'c had not noticed anything different. To them their surroundings were no different than before, but to Sam she could see the subtle changes to the ship and command. Sam finally realized that something had happened when they came through the wormhole. She had to find Col Mitchell. She could no longer stay quite and the more the ship and time changed she feared she would change with it.
"Col Mitchell, this is Col Carter. I need to see you, and SG1 in the conference room. It's important Sir."
"Ok Sam, I'll round up the troops and meet you there in 20 minutes, Mitchell out."
Sam was seated with her laptop in front of her. She saw the concerned faces when they all sat down. Usually when Sam had her laptop in conferences it didn't mean good news.
"Ok Sam where here, what's up?" Said Mitchell.
Here goes, Sam said silently in her mind. "We have gone through a time change somehow. These ships, the uniforms, the High Command have all changed since coming through the wormhole. This is all wrong, everything on this ship and us, well you guys have changed."
They all sat there taking in what Sam was saying. Daniel, Adria and Teal'c said nothing and just looked at Mitchell to see what he was going to say."
"Sam, I don't notice anything different. Do any of you see any changes?" Asked Mitchell of the rest of his team.
"Adria and I haven't noticed any changes; but Adria has sensed that Baal's planet has been destroyed by Vala. Said Daniel.
"Are you sure Adria? Asked Mitchell.
"Yes Col Mitchell. We have to act fast to find the medallion. Destroying the Ori means finding the last piece before my mother destroys anyone and everything to get her hands on the medallion.
"Ok, that's our number one priority right now, said Mitchell. Mitchell looked towards Sam.
What changes are you talking about Sam?"
"The ships chronic database has changed since coming through the wormhole. For some reason, the ships weapons, personnel and command has changed. My calculations show the time difference but it's not noticeable through the naked eye. We seem to be changing every day and I'm not sure why I'm the only one that has noticed it." Said Sam trying to convince her friends she was right.
"Ok Sam. Everyone here can't see any changes. Say, you're right and there is a change. Is it hurting anyone or anything? I mean what is the time change, as you say, hurting the most?"
"I don't know. I mean it's hard to believe, but I have some proof. I didn't want to say anything until the changes started changing in command. I mean when we left the SGC Gen Landry was in charge. It shows on the ships data base that Gen O'Neill is in charge. Gen O'Neill has not been in charge since you took over Col." Said Sam.
The rest of the group found in curious that Sam would mention the change in command. To them Gen O'Neill has always been in charge. They had no ideal who Gen Landry was.
"Sam, I – I don't know this seems far fetched. We can't just go around and tell everyone that time has changed, we don't have any concrete proof and to tell you the truth, I can't say I believe you. Why don't you get some rest and we'll talk again tomorrow. Daniel and Adria continue working on the medallion and its location. Teal'c I need you on command center in a few. Sam, we'll talk later."
Sam knew that she sounded crazy, but she had dealt with doubt before. This was coming from her own team and friends, but she needed to be more careful she thought. If Mitchell didn't believe her then there may be other changes that have happened she is not aware of. As they all left the conference room a little confused about Sam's revelation, Teal'c stayed behind.
"Col Carter I wish to speak to you for a few minutes."
"Go on Teal'c tell me I'm crazy. Col Mitchell doesn't believe me so I expect the same from all of you. So say what you're going to say and I'll go back to my room."
Teal'c tilted his head a little to the right and raised his eye brow slightly.
"You are correct Col Carter. There has been a change and you and I are the only ones to see it."
Sam's mouth went wide open. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Now that she thought about it. Teal'c was the only one in the room that didn't say anything.
"Teal'c don't yank me around and play the concerned friend. I know you don't believe me."
"Samantha Carter. I don't yank anyone around and I have noticed the changes in weaponry and personnel classification. I also know Adria should not be here."
"Wha- what, how, how? Why didn't you say anything to me?"
"I could not. As you say there was no proof and Col Mitchell would have said the same to me also. When you asked me earlier I did not comprehend such changes. But you are correct, Gen O'Neill is not the one in charge and Vala is not the Orici."
"Well, I didn't know about that, but now that you say that, it is strange to see Daniel pinning over Adria. What do we do Teal'c? If these changes continue we may also forget what's going on. I don't understand why we are the only ones but we have to get back to our time continuum. I fear if we don't we may become as powerful or more than the Ori. I do have a theory though." Said Sam.
"What might that be Col Carter?"
"I think that the medallion has something to do with this. Ever since we picked up the medallion there has been changes in our travels. I think I need to recalculate the entry and a sudden burst in energy when we were trying to escape the Ori."
"Could this burst of energy cause a rip in time or space? Asked Teal'c.
"I think so Teal'c, anyway, I think when we find this last piece that it may change everything we know and I'm not sure I should say anymore until we find this last piece. They might consider me a threat."
"I believe you are correct Col Carter. I will keep my eyes and ears open until you find the solution to our problem."
"Thank you Teal'c. I was beginning to think I was going crazy. Thank you for confirming my suspicions."
"You are quite welcome. I will stay silent about what has happened and rest assured Col Carter, you will find the solution." With that being said Teal'c headed to command, and Sam headed to her room to find some type of calculations to stop the time continuum.
