The Past Meets The Future

Disclaimers: I don't the the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.

Warnings: With this chapter it's going to finish off the lecture regarding Shelby and a give a quick message to the future then. As the team tells them they're preparing to change things around as the truth comes out further. Before he deals with giving his last memories of his stint to the quintet and the joint chiefs, followed by showing them his memories of their conclusion.

Of the Symbiote killers and they go over that and with it they get into a quick run down of things regarding where Oneill was letting his emotions take over. For the quintet they're seeing things through his eyes while learning some serious information regarding what happened and what made him choose to leave the year before at the time.

Before he resigns from the Stargate program and they go to defense meeting, but their first order of business was changing several things, before they leave first for the first episode of season one on SG-1. Before Teal'C and Daniel leave for their new posting on the Enterprise D. And that's going to be story number two, but for this one is its dealing with rewriting the episodes of TNG.

And meeting the original Enterprise crew, before the duo leave for the future. But the story after they leave follows the rest of the pilot episode and the rest of the season. But things are going to go the same way in the show expect that Tasha survives the attack by Armus, and Wesley is getting his training started two months earlier than when they encounter the traveler. But the next generation series is going to follow the same pattern just with several changes.

Chapter 12: Generations Meet, Ventings And Medical Truth

"Uh let me see here, if I was with him and you did this behind my back, I'd say in the exact same time he gave you, that my grandson gave you. 'You disagree with me, fine, you want to take it to the captain, fine, through me. You do an end run around me again. And I'll snap you back so hard you'll think you're a first year cadet again, you're remark to that, all you know is how to play it safe, I guess that's why someone like you."

"Stays in the shadow of great man passing up one command after another.'. Young lady for that attitude, maybe you should open your mind up a bit and consider that maybe he was happy where he was, that he had a family. And he didn't want to separate from them and your attitude is like trying to force him out, but you said, and I quote, 'if you can't make the big decisions, then I suggest you make room for someone who can.'.

"But is it just possible you don't make commander to Admiral without knowing the dangers of those decisions. As to that Commander, because you're a major, he's a lieutenant colonel in our time frame. So no middle ground, showing insubordination to a superior officer and in truth now. To us in this century, if you'd been overheard, the superior officer that did would drag you before the general for misconduct."

"The captain was like a father to him, his mentor, he wasn't ready to leave and let go, anymore then Wes was ready to let go of him. And the rest of the members who raised him, to them the crew is being a team, a team is family. And your ideas are putting his family at risk and none more so then his adoptive son as he said. And I quote, again, 'when it comes to this ship and this crew, you're damn right I play it safe.'."

"You just arrived, but err once by going down alone, err twice by trying to force the others to keep going and they're asleep on their feet and then to top it off. You go behind his back to the captain, you know if I'd been there I'd bust you back junior grade. And for talking to me like that after I said the captains thoughts to this." Daniel said sternly and she paled as she watched Will cross his arms at and she swallowed hard at that.

"But Sir, I didn't know what was going to happen, I didn't think..." she started to say and he held up his hand as he went further, his tone beyond stern. "Exactly, you didn't think through your choices, evaluate all the possible areas that going down would result in. You just leaped, but that's the reason for why he's so furious at the moment, you leaped, before you looked and it could have destroyed everything you're fighting for."

"You erred three times, regarding breaking orders and Commander Riker said, before making changes to his orders, let him know first. The trio had spent three years together, and if what I'm guessing is correct about you. Than you're a desk jockey back here on earth, is that right?" he asked and she swallowed at the word as she answered him. "Yes Sir, but after all the attacks I've seen by the Borg, I didn't want to see another one."

"The choice was scientifically sound, we had three hours till the storm moved in and two more because it destroyed the samples. Data was the only one available, I didn't see any reason wrong with going early.." she said and he nodded. "Did you consider they'd ambush you, that you'd walk right into a trap. That there could still be Goa'uld running loose in the galaxy and you'd be the piece to expose us now as they had everything."

"Everything they needed to destroy us, all earth's defenses, codes, ships, defenses, the works, did you ever considering this at all, Shelby. Because they could jump back in time 439 years, to when Langford found the gate as it was enroute to Cheyenne Mountan. Completely destroying the space time continuum, therefore, no stargate program no Starfleet, and they wipe out your future, and by killing us as your predecessors now."

"The grandfather paradox, you kill your grandfather, your own father could never be born, it's the male side, or the female side of the family. They kill Daniel, me, Teal'C, even Lou, so no Daniel Jackson VI, no Anna Samantha Carter. No Teal'C Thomas Martell IV, even no Peter Ferretti, did you ever consider any of these things when you did this?" Sam said and she swallowed hard at the question and shook her head and they nodded.

"439 years, that's around the time of the Great Depression and you were trying to figure out how to operate the gate, before Littlefield ended up at the Heliopolis?" O'Brien said and they nodded. "They sink the ship this gate was on and your future never happens as they wipe us out. And to repeat his remark, if we don't go through now, and that future he saw in the alternate reality could happen here our entire race could be wiped out."

"So tell me, did you ever consider this, that these aliens had a way to jump back to the past and destroy us as your predecessors. And when our parents were still children themselves, you kill your grandparents and you're never born. As you change your past you change your own world in ways that you can't never imagine. Again, did you ever consider thiswhen you went down without Will?" Sam said and she shook her head.

"Exactly you never thought it all the way through, in theory yes, but there are many variables to look at here, not the least of which is that those soil samples could be safely protected. But if you were exposed and you're putting the rest of the team at risk. A team works as one, we don't think for ourselves, we think about each other. To the rest of the crew though you joined in a few of extra activities, you're not part of it."

"Part of the whole, and with it, is you're trying to act like a pro. So I see it as you had no field experience, never set foot on another planet or made it into space and you're running research and development. Admiral Hasson decided to give you a chance, and you screw up in the first shot at it. Which is when Commander Riker learns you beamed down without him, correct?" he asked and she nodded as Jumper crossed his arms.

"I really hope Hanson, Quinn and Morrison are back at Command HQ right now, because compared to his choices in this and theirs, we're the ones trying to protect earth and the federation, before the Borg, or anyone else annihilates us at the moment." Gates said and in answer to that two more flashes lit up the room and then they saw the trio in question as Admiral Quinn answered his remark at that, bemused as he said it.

"We were, but someone's screwing with the time continuum right now, Jason." he said and Daniel sighed as he looked up. "Alright whoever's doing that, better knock it off right now, because we're not doing this all day." he said and the trio started laughing at that. "I don't blame you for that remark Commander, but as you're the ones who spot past mistakes and we can't, I didn't realize this was why William declined his shot at captain."

"Again, or that she had been acting so rudely towards him at the time and you're right, if we'd seen this or heard this. And I stayed on board the Enterprise, before Jean Luc was captured. I'd have denied her her chance at a promotion and then promoted him to acting captain when Jean Luc got assimiliated into the Borg at the time that year." Admiral J.P. Hanson said to him and he nodded as Hammond answered him gently then.

"J.P., her attitude in this time frame and her decisions of not listening to orders, trying to rush things are the reason she's in such hot water with us right now at the moment. In this century, had she'd been part of the program here, now, and tried this and dragged only one person with her. And Daniel went to check it out, he'd bring her back and then drag her before me in a second so I can give her the reprimand she deserved here."

"But being this lenient with a rookie officer and one who's never set foot off of earth is a mistake and with it why the base has been running like this, though we take risks, we look at all the factors. Daniel just returned from being a traveler, but he had five big decisions to make and each one could have destroyed your future. That's what William was figuring in when she openly mouthed off to him in this in the turbolift."

"Regarding his decision to put a hold on it, in truth, if he's not ready to leave there's no reason to force him into taking that promotion. But his decision was exactly what Daniel decided, he leaves and it destroys billions of lives. Daniel Saves the colonel and " he said and they nodded.

"And aside from that fact is you're getting too pushy with offering the promotions and commands at the moment and at the moment it's going too far. In this time frame, until he was ready to accept that promotion and told us, we waited for him to tell us and then give it to him. But we never force it on him and bring a slightly green major into the picture."

"And one who has had no field experience and doesn't understands the threat of this job, when you're not staying on earth, all day and out there seeing this stuff for yourself. As to that, until he tells you he's ready, just give him time, son you better tell them your reasons later." he said and Will nodded as Daniel took it from there. "And with that in mind right now, there is such a thing as crossing the line here at the moment."

"Yes you're a dedicated officer and you're smart, but at times, like right now, sometimes you're too smart for your own damn good. But you're acting like a cadet instead of your true rank, and though dressed in red, do you know what I see when I look at you?" he asked and she swallowed at that. "I see Bruce Maddox and his dream to create more of Data and his determination to see it through at the time, or Captain Maybourne."

"But your dream is far more dangerous and he understand that danger so easily at the moment. That your behavior in this time period is enough to get you hit with a court martial when he knows better than you do the dangers on dealing with trying to push too hard. When you're team is beyond worn out as well, because I guarantee had I been there and saw you pushing them, I pull the plug, order them to bed."

"And you still broke orders and tried that again by going down without authorizarion, or went behind my back to the captain for a second opinion. I'd snap you back so hard you'd think you were a first year cadet again. And you still crossed the line, I'd drag you before the committee for a court martial." Daniel said to her sternly and she swallowed at that as Picard finished that remark, hearing her attitude more clearly then.

"And is it just possible that you don't reach Captain or Admiral, without thinking about the big decisions here. Daniel's choices all came from one thing, thinking about the bigger picture now, he knows what just one choice can affect the crew. Will was thinking about the same thing when I gave him that talking to after I went to his refusal to let Robert go down alone." Picard said and they nodded to him gently at that.

"Now some may think that attitude is appropriate here, but here at the SGC it's not, we still follow procedures at the moment. And trying it when they're possibly still in range it's asking to get captured and then you become the threat, or in this case the host. And with that in mind, again, Commander, what the hell were thinking of here at the time, it's not only suicide to go down alone, it's a security risk." Daniel said sharply then at her.

"Hold up Colonel, just stand back for a second." Jumper said to him gently and he nodded as he positioned himself between his trio gently. "Commander, do you know who I am exactly?" he asked and she nodded quickly. "Admiral John Ryan Jumper, head of the Air Force chief of staff." she said and he nodded to her as he answered her. "That's right and with that in mind, do you know what I'd consider your choice being here."

"Regarding this when William is the senior officer, your behavior was an act of insubordination, now I don't know about J.P.. But here in this time frame, right now, the fact you broke orders like this is enough to get you a black mark on the record. Dr. Jackson had spent 8 years running field operations, operations that no soldier could ever pull off, his skills are so valuable to us in the joint chiefs it's enough now."

"That we'd give him any posting he wanted at the time, regarding William though, he's the exact same way and with that at the moment he's correct at the moment. What he chooses in his career is nobody's business but his own, if he wants to stay at where he is, until he's ready. That's his choice, but openly mouthing off regarding that choice when you're a rank under him, I would never have approved that attitude if I heard it."

"Nor would I allow the fact you broke orders without telling them you were leaving, as the commander runs 3/4's of the happenings on board the ship. He's in charge of the safety of the children, and here in this time frame, we got a demonstration of what happens when you place a war like general at the helm. And let me tell you, the consequences are the reason your future is now at risk at the moment."

"William is the finest, most dedicated officer I've ever seen, in this time frame, he's got the shot to be promoted ten times by the times he's at the age he is, which is what we think of Dr. Jackson. But if William wanted to stay, and decline his promotion, yet again, we'd respect his wishes to remain on board. Though he's ready for promotion at the moment, we'd make him an acting captain, which is the same as the full set on yours."

"Three pips equals and equaled a full commander, but if we changed that up in the next time frame, it's three pips and an empty circle, indicating acting captain. Which is the same as the captain's executive officer, which is what Quinn, Morrison and the committee promoted him to when you came into the picture. But hearing you broke orders twice, or three times, and it's enough to get you demoted back to Lieutenant for it."

"What choices William makes in his career had you been in our century, now, is we'd respect his wishes about his wanting to take his time in accepting that promotion. We wouldn't force him into leaving or accepting it, if he accepted he was ready to let go of the safety net, we'd accept that. If not, the same and so on, but we don't pressure him into accepting it when he's not ready." he said and nodded to Daniel and he took over.

"To answer your remark about going down early, yes it was sound, but scientifically, yes, in theory, yes, in practical no, and it could kill you, you jumped too quickly. And it put the trio at risk, but this choice could have resulted in a slaughter at the time by the time Commander Riker made his decision. And that's what I'd like to talk about, regarding your treatment of him, isn't it just possible that you don't reach captain, or admiral."

"Unless you understand the dangers in needing to make the big decisions, regarding thinking about the bigger picture. If my grandson was the best in his field, he was so well known he'd risk death to protect his comrades. He understands the nature of making hasty decisions and with that. To give an example here, the Tokra decided to wipe out the system lords last year, had they done that, earth would be destroyed by now."

"Why, well it's because this would create a power vacuum in the Goa'uld and Anubis would get stronger without an opposition, and he'd wipe out first earth, and then the races. The only person that could stop him for good is another ascended being or former ascended being. So with that I pulled the plug, I had a tough decision to make and did it." he said as he looked at her as Will hid a smile, at seeing his best friend in him then.

"Last year on five occasions, because I had to think about the consequences, far reaching consequences of those choices and where they lead. Starting with Captain Oneill, I break the rules and it could kill Commander Carter and Jonas Quinn. I save Egeria, and that could kill the Jaffa, because no tretonin now, I save Sam and the Russian team members, and that could kill Commander Martell and Master Bra'tac."

"I save Jonas and that could kill earth, and I save the Abydonians and it could kill and destroy earth, because it doesn't result in me returning from being a traveler. And giving us a chance to stop Anubis from destroying my latest adopted planet and any other planet with that weapon now destroyed. But as a result of choosing to break the rules 4 months ago, I had some unfinished business and I saved billions by following orders."

"The admirals gave me orders, and though unsaid, I still followed them, evaluated the consequences and instead of rushing the net. I decided to leave clues to each situation to the trio, Dr. Frasier, my friend Dr. Thompson and Chief Siler at the time. That gave them a chance to focus and it helped, but not till Abydos did I get involved. And decided enough on the sidelines and it resulted in me returning and we gained 2 scores now."

"But that's what looking at the big picture, the making the big decisions really is now, evaluating the consequences and where they would lead, if we had children in this base and the base turned into the ship. The results are I have to think about the safety of the civilians and the children at the time and with that in mind here at the moment. Looking at the big decisions, where they would lead and the consequences was your test."

"But that's the lesson that Hasson was trying to teach you, Riker passed that test by evaluationof the circumstances correctly. It's fast decisions, acting reckless and jumping ahead can and will kill others here. I spent four years at your rank undergoing training lessons whether I knew it or not, being trained by the duo here. And what they taught me is that some choices to make are harder than others in these cases."

"And here's the next lesson in that as we're the precursor of the command now, but officer's training, from training ensign to Lieutenant Commander. But you're just a member of the crew, and the decisions you make can affect your life, or your family, if you were married and had children at the time. But when you're a member of the crew, it's easy, the choices are easy to make here and as to why that was and is now."

"It's because you were making these decisions for yourself, as you're just part of the crew. At that stage, at this rank and up to mine you could think about your own safety, but once you become the leader, that's different. At the top of it as you reach the top of the food chain on the ship, or near the top, as with the admirals on earth, the highest ranked officer is the captain with the commander just behind him here and with that."

"It gets even more dangerous, because you're not just thinking about yourself now at this point, you have to consider the hundreds of other lives at the moment. On any ship that's a galaxy class as it's a flying colony, a flying town, full of people, adults and children. The senior staff crew being the town council and the captain is the mayor. While the commander is in charge of 3/4's of the happenings on the ship, including the kids."

"Families, children on these galaxy class ships, so is it just possible that he wasn't just thinking about himself here. But the fact he's got to worry about 600 children, or more, on board the ship, any decision he makes could affect them too. And several are connected to a single trauma. While the oldest happens to be recovering still from another trauma do to being worked so hard he collapses and he needed his rest."

"So he could get a fresh start in the morning regarding these things. That he was acting as the young man's father and mentor, being the parent. When he spent a year looking after that boy himself at the time. That he was thinking about the bigger picture when officers like yourself, someone they considered an outsider. Did not understand at the moment when the members of your team are so exhausted they need to rest?"

"Is there such a thing as he was acting as a parent and team leader here now, that when the members of your team can't focus they start making mistakes. And said mistakes that could jeopardize the safety of the civilians on board the ship, the officers that had family. That had children and he was trying to prevent this by sending them off to get seven hours of rest?" he asked her with a warning tone and she swallowed at that.

And Will crossed his arms, knowing she never considered that thought when Picard had gotten assimiliated into the Borg at the time. 'Well I remember that remark from the captain when we shipped out at the time, he's sounding like the captain and me when dealing with a junior ensign right now. But he's right that's what I was thinking at the time, I was protecting my cub and the team from collapsing or making a mistake.'

'Well commander, what do you consider my thoughts now regarding this, I was thinking about the hundreds of lives, of the children, of my godson when I made that decision. I may have just hit my 31st birthday, but I was acting like a future captain in considering the safety of everyone on board this ship, the civilians and the children.' he thought as he listened to the grandfather of his best friend then as he went further.

"You wanted a pre-emptive strike, before they destroyed anything else, I understand why. But here's the rule in that now, he does it now he risks his own life, he does it later and he risks everyone's lives. And he can't do that, not with close to 1,345 lives on board that ship, most of which are children as well too. As I said that ship is a flying colony, and being a captain or admiral you have to think about the safety of everyone on board."

"But if you're battling the enemy at the same time, that you're battling your own fatigue, it's going to get you and whoever's with you killed, if you don't get some rest and soon. Now with those words in mind, I'm looking at a single thing here, if you're acting like a cadet with a superior officer. How old are you exactly anyway, because your look alikes have your ages, in looks, as several years older than you really are right now?"

"Looking at you and Will, I see you looking like you're just under thirty, him just barely 34 years and with him, my grandson, Geordi. Miles is 41 years old and that leaves you at the moment. How old are you?" he asked her and she swallowed at the wording. "I'm 30 years old now, commander." she said and he nodded as he answered her firmly. "So you've been this rank how long exactly?" he asked and Hasson answered that question.

"We promoted her just before Jean Luc got captured, Commander." he said and Daniel nodded to him. "So she's had no field experience and is mostly a desk jockey, she's never been in the thick of it before. Doesn't truly understand the dangers like he has, because after getting added to the crew. They've had multiple close calls and, at one, point had to infiltrate headquarters to stop a foothold." he asked and Hasson nodded.

"Yes that's right, Commander." he said and Daniel nodded. "Uh huh, so she's on the fast track to captaincy, and instead of gaining her shot at being the captain's first officer. He's choosing to stay longer and we see a fight break out over chosen ways to do this. But I'm seeing this in just one way, it's her behavior is focused on a single thing we've seen before here." he said as he looked back at her and sized her up then carefully.

"When exactly?" Picard asked and Daniel looked at Sam. "Sam does the behavior seem familiar to you, I was with 5 and you were doing that lecture at the academy?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah and I've seen this attitude before, just with my young asistant, she's changed. And started acting like I'm her big sister since, but I'm her mentor, as are you." she said and Daniel nodded as he looked her over then then carefully.

And seeing the ambition in her, he nodded. "I suppose you heard of Major Jennifer Hailey, in the future correct, she's the second in command on whatever ship that Major Carter was leading, in your time, before the program ended and it switched to the post atomic, in fifty years?" he asked and she nodded as she hold back her fear then. "Wait how did you...?" she said in shock and he nodded as he answered her.

"I guess right, didn't I, that's what happens, she got promoted twice, before we deactivated the program in this timeline. Ten years later the planet starts with the martial law and before someone was screwing around with genetics and the results are the radiation annihilated a third of the population, didn't it." he said and she nodded as Data answered that with a bemused smile on his face at his figuring things out that fast.

"Aye Sir, that's what happen, alright." Data told him and he nodded as he kept his focus. "Taking guesses rather than being told works much better, but that's the loophole in the future consequences remarks. As is giving the dates of these situations and once we hit each one, give us the key details and we go from there." Geordi said and he nodded as the group exchanged looks as Reynolds answered him as he said it.

"Well here's a question: when did we start creating added earth colonies in space if the Bringloidi came into the picture?" He asked and O'Brien answered that question. "Thirty years from now, but we didn't find them, because they weren't up there until 2123 and became an anachoronistic." he said, before another flash lit up the room and a woman around the same age as the eight appeared then as she finished that remark.

"Good word for it right now, but is it really necessary to start playing with the timeline right now, by us jumping back 366 years Jean Luc, boys?" she said and that did as Sam started laughing at that. "Dr. Kate Pulaski, I assume?" she said and Dr. Katherine Pulaski nodded. "Alright to repeat my last remark, whoever's screwing around with that device better cool it, we're not doing this all day." Daniel called out and she chuckled at that.

"Commander Daniel Jackson?" She asked and he nodded. "That's right Kate, I'm Daniel Jackson, and this is my girlfriend Lieutenant Commander Samantha Carter. And our friend and brother, Lieutenant Commander Teal'C Thomas Martell. We're the route of SG-1 in your time frame after we annihilated the Goa'uld and replicators in the next two years and leading into what's coming next." he said to her and she nodded to him gently.

And smiling at that gently as she said it to him. "Your grandson looks just like you, so this is what you looked like at 37 years old, huh?" she asked and he nodded to her. "Yes, I guess with the added change I'm part of your life once we do this over again, if you were close friend's of Kyle?" he asked her and she nodded. "Yes, I met him when Will was 22, but what changes you make to the timeline are going to change things now."

"Well I see that your personality traits were not misplaced, what's going on if the quintet decided to come here and we've had several unexpected add ons, aside from me, arriving as well?" she asked and he smiled. "Teal'C and I just got our reassignment, we're joining the enterprise, but as the added reincarnations of our grandsons, as they're the ranks we're taking on, and with it, they're going to have our memories of this."

"So everything you ever wanted to know about the 20th century to early 21st we can tell you directly and we're now your experts on the Stargate program. But though our records have our friends names, here in the present on them. Everything that they say was really us in this time line, as you read it now, up to today, and to answer the other unasked question here, we're resetting the timeline after the meeting is done."

"So once you return to the future, you have 72 hours to do whatever it is you have to do before your memories get reset and once it does, you're never going to remember we ever had this conversation, till I tell you the truth once you and Guinan get added to the crew." he said and she nodded to him. "In other words I'm learning and dealing with your memories and emotional recovery like Beverly does later once I join the crew."

"But I'm just saying this now, you suffer a flashback and it's in the middle of a serious situation and I'm killing the stupid jock officer that asked the question." she said and he smiled gently. "The duo said the same thing, but at the moment, I'm in need of a serious reprieve from the program and we can go into this later after I deal with her." he said as he looked at her gently at that as she gave a nod to him and he looked at Shelby.

"Well fortunately for you the timeline is getting reset, and as most of the population is going into a case of over population in this case. So we plan to reset that after we deal with Kirk in 1986 and begin creating several colonies through the gate on uninhabited planets. But to get back to this at this moment in time regarding Jennifer. At the current moment she's 23 years old and a lieutenant, training ensign, advanced training ensign."

"But she was, before we knocked the chip off her shoulder, just like you, here have a look at this, this was before we knocked the chip off her shoulder." he said, passing her the essay she worked on as she read through it and looked up. "I don't understand, this was really good and she got a D on it." she said and he nodded. "Yes, but it was because it wasn't the assignment at the time, what's your catch exactly at the moment."

"Your theory in the academy, that your professor gave you a grade lower than what you wanted?" he asked and she swallowed. "Before the Borg I did the same, regarding her's, travel through the gate, and going both ways?" she asked and he nodded. "What grade did you get at the time?" he asked and Hasson watched her carefully. "Dr. Simmons gave me a D." she said and he nodded as he answered her.

"What was the assignment." he said and she sighed. "Calculations of hyperspace travel." she said and he nodded. "That's because it wasn't the assignment. Is that what the attitude is about, you're irritated you got a low grade." he said and she said it gently. "Permission to speak freely sir." she said and he nodded. "Go ahead." he said and she nodded. "The asignment was stupid." She said and he nodded to her gently

As he answered her firmly at that. "Yes maybe it was, but it was the assignment, for example you're just assuming that matter can go both ways through a wormhole, how do you know exactly. But did you know it would, you never went through the gate, so how do you know?" he asked and she sighed. "Well until someone showed me one that only went one way. I was going on a theory." she said and he nodded as pushed it.

"Yes and it's an intriguing theory." he said and she sighed in exasperation. "Exactly the word my professor used." she said and his tone firmed. "Maybe that's because that's what it is, an intriguing theory, but it's based off one too many founded assumptions. For example you're assuming matter can go both ways through a wormhole, but here's the question now regarding that fact, your centuries after the time we stopped using it."

"So how do you know exactly, how do you know?" he asked and Sam crossed her arms as she remembered that remark. "Well until someone shows me a real working wormhole that only goes one way." she said and he nodded to her firmly. "Well you're looking at the leading experts in that, I've been traveling through that gate for eight years. You see that gate, it's a one way door, you have to reopen it to come back through."

"When I discovered that the coordinate needed to reopen it were not in the pyramid I had to tell them the truth and believe me. When my friends heard I had to find them they were not happy we had to stay put till we found them all. Fortunately help came in the form of a beast of burden leading us directly to planet's inhabitants. And I found the six symbols needed to get the gate going again to send us back."

"But without the point of origin, you're stuck, you need all the coordinates of the planet you're heading to or coming from here to use it effectively. But certain side effects come into the picture. And radiation, radio waves and gravity fields can go both ways, but humans or humanoids can't, to return you have to wait for the window to close. And the window of opportunity in gate travel is 38 minutes long, so until it does you're stuck."

"Simple physics and and understanding in this technology is needed to use it effectively and we class this as Stargate travel 101. So once through it, you can't go back, unless it's deactivated and you redial to do it." he said and seeing the look on her face at that, Sam hid a sigh at that. 'Here we go again, it's Jenny all over again when I came to the academy that year.' she thought to herself gently as Will looked at her at that.

"I take you had this same conversation with Major Hailey two years ago, Sam?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah and at the moment he's turning into me when she was showing me attitude. Before I knocked the chip off her shoulder at the time, you're a male version of me when you called her out in the turbolift and he's the one dealing with it at the moment, just wait for it though, Will." she said and they nodded as they watched it.

"What are you trying to say, that you're the one who's right and I'm wrong right now, Sir?" she said and his tone went dangerously stern at that. "That's not the point, you made an assumption. And that information is more advanced than anything you ever come across right now, you're studying things that went out long before you were born. And I'm not going into a debate here with you either, young lady and with that in mind."

"You made an assumption regarding this and that paper is beyond anything you were likely to be taught or learn at the academy. And as was everything you read up on us from the creation of the vessels to the weapons, it's beyond anything you were taught at the academy. You're a good and a dedicated officer and now you want to show off your skills. That's fine, and hey we're all impressed with your abilities, at the moment."

"But that doesn't mean you don't do the assignment or follow orders here." he said and she looked at him as he saw the look of defiance in her eyes as he looked from her to Sam and then to Will and hid a nod. 'Yes that's it, she's acting like Jenny, Will was Sam as a career officer of higher training than she was at the time. She's trying to get out of his shadow right now, okay, time to end this now.' he thought as he looked at her firmly.

"What was in your record when you were 21 exactly and at the academy, huh, what, you get into trouble for fighting with a fellow cadet, starting a bar brawl, what exactly. Wanting all the attention and you were the best and brightest in your class in your home town, highest grades in every class always wanting to be in the limelight at the time. So you try to continue that once you get into the academy, and it's two years later."

"And when you arrive, you learn you're not the best and brightest in your field anymore, the most skilled in training, the prize pupil, the star in athletics. And it's over with now as you hear the name of your rival now, and learn that your predecessor is getting the best record. Suddenly someone else held that position now, highest grade in every class in command training, every award you wanted and were up for at the time back then."

"And the jealousy starts piling up till you meet the said person of your annoyance face to face and when he's the one holding the position of first officer to the best captain in the entire fleet. And on the youngest version of the most well known ship in the history of Starfleet now. What for the first time in your life you're not automatically the best and brightest at everything you do now?" he asked as he waited for her to lose it then.

"What's this got to do with Will exactly, anyway?" He said and she exploded. "Everything, there was never a day when at the academy when I never heard his name brought up at least once. He's gotten the highest grades of the classes I was in and won every award that I've ever been up for. They were comparing me to him from the day I walked in there and I never could measure up to him in their eyes." she said and he nodded firmly.

"So that's it, what for the first time in your life, you're not automatically the best and brightest at everything you do, get over it, there are more important things at stake. Because if your parents were both majors to colonels it's enough to get you busted when they heard what happened. As it is, if you're from a full Starfleet family and your entire family was in the organization just one mistake tarnishes that family image forever."

"As you can see Admirals Carter and Landry they're both fathers, his daughter also went into the military and she's an exceptional officer, never got herself in trouble. Because that's enough to get you jolted here in the past when surrounded by the men who are the bosses of the leader of the academy your training is based off of right now, Commander?" he asked and seeing the look on her face he knew he nailed her then.

"I suppose Brand knew that with your skills, you were really good, that your SAT's were through the roof even higher than Commander Riker's were at the time. But in Brand's eyes sometimes you were a little too smart for your own damn good at the times. Whoever tried to straighten you out talked to your professor and they decided to talk to you, before you got in trouble for a serious offense." he said and she swallowed at that.

As he smiled dangerously as he finished that. "Uh huh, yes that's right you don't have to say it out loud right now, you're just like Jennifer when she was 21. When she met my friends, my boss, she went to the academy trying to beat the scores of its previous valevictorian and believe me. The jealousy started piling up so highly that she started lashing out at the time, came to the academy for a challenge, but it's not enough."

"But in our eyes, she was just in the beginning of her career, how could she possibly knows what was ahead for her huh, what exactly. She was a great pilot, a superb marksman, but that's not all there was to being an Air Force officer, if she kept insisting on doing things her own way. Sam was at the academy and met her, later that day she got into a fight with another cadet and as fond as our commander was of her."

"He was ready to expel her at the time, it may have been because she was standing up for a fellow cadet, but it didn't matter to him. Because fighting on campus is not allowed in this time frame, what's Brand like, just as stern regarding this, she takes it seriously, fair regarding abilities. But stern when it comes to special treatment, she treats you exactly the same?" he asked and she nodded as Kerrigan crossed his arms at that.

"That's what he's like, to us he's impressed with our abilities, and fair when it comes to skills and expertise. But doesn't tolerate fights that result in altercations, one does and the results are it gets you kicked out of the academy. He treats us exactly the same, his predecessor was the same way and acted like a father to us. A mentor to us cadets younger than they were, which is true in certain cases at the moment."

"But when your father happens to be said admiral running the academy you're being trained at, at the moment. Such as the case in the case of Admiral Carter, he's her father, my father in law. I passed my training and he's recommended for promotion and reassignment. So though family, it's not going to help you when your parents find out you got in trouble for fighting in school and till it lands you in the admiral's office."

"So it's been nine years out of the academy now, you're still hearing Will's name every where you go, and you're still acting like a 21 year old. Till finally he calls you out twice on board the ship and you pop off like this. It's enough to get you dragged before the committee for attitude and insubordination with a superior officer. He's a full commander, you're a lieutenant commander, he's the next rank up and it's no middle ground."

"You want that promotion that position to first officer it's by playing by the rules and courtesy. Not by breaking orders, jumping over someone's head and getting mouthy with a superior officer. And just because he's being cautious doesn't give you the right to keep insisting on doing things your own way. And with that you just got called out by the surrogate big brother to your predecessor young lady, and with that in mind right now."

"I'm a male version to Commander Carter when she was dealing with your predecessor at the time. And though I'm fair and caring, making sure my Cubs. don't try anything reckless is my responsibility when it comes to training. And with those words in mind, if this was a repeat of life at the academy, it just turned into the adult version to it. And if Brand was here, she's going to quote what I'm about to say next here."

"You're just an adult version of my favorite student right now, I see it all, you're trying to help whoever the lower classman was, some hot shot makes a derogatory remark about them, you tell them to cool it. And when he doesn't you break his nose, is that what happened. Before you got called before Brand at the time?" he asked her and she swallowed and nodded to him as the Starfleet admiral trio looked at him in amazement.

"How did you know that exactly, Commander?" Quinn asked him and Kerrigan answered that. "Because I just dealt with the same thing regarding Hailey just before they recruited her at the time. Daniel and Sam are my favorite pupils, though in this time line he hasn't been trained in the way she was, but it doesn't matter at the moment. They're my prize pupils and now that I found what they're working on at the moment."

"I see this as a definite need to straighten things out with a repeater of the same fight that revealed to Jennifer her future at the moment. And that straightened her out and she graduated with honors before Sam came to pick her up and Hailey and her trio are just like them. As to that its easy to see where the comparisions are here and with those words in mind, Daniel go ahead, keep going, son." he said and Daniel crossed his arms.

"She was sick of being in Sam's shadow, because Sam got the highest grades in every class she was in, and won every prize she was ever up for. To her, she felt like they were comparing her to Sam and in their eyes she could never measure up. In this time right now, she and her friends see me as a big brother. And they want me to be proud of them and their training, and I'm very proud of them right now as well too, they're my cubs."

"But this was something I taught my young cadets here on the base, if you don't get it right you can try again tomorrow. But if you're too exhausted to think straight and you're never going to the solution, is that what the problem is. That you're sick of being in his shadow, because of his exemplary record, that you start mouthing off to him and working yourself into a collapse." he said to her sternly and she quickly answered him.

Before she could though, he went to Sam's tone with Hailey. "Commander I liked to ask you something now, answer honestly." he said and she nodded. "Who the hell do you think you are?" he asked and she swallowed. "Sir?" she said and he went further. "You think you're better than the rest of us, that you're too good to be in Starfleet." he asked and she swallowed a second time at that as she answered him.

"No Sir." she said and he pushed it further. "Oh come on, all those little rules and regulations, they don't really apply to you do they, I mean let's face it. What's the point of a chain of command when none of your superiors are as smart as you are." he said and seeing the look of fear at the possible court martial on her face he knew he had her then as she quickly answered him at that, as Sam hid a smile at the remark.

"No Sir, I don't feel that way." she said quickly and he nodded. "Oh I think you do, and I think deep down you want to quit, well let me do you a favor. The door's open, so why don't you just quit and go home." He said and she swallowed at seeing the side of the commander she normally never saw in her time frame. "No Sir, I won't quit." she said and he added a challenge to his tone as Picard, Hammond and Jacob hid a smile then.

"I'm giving you the chance to walk out of Starfleet, before the trio throws you out." he said and she said it forcefully at that. "I won't quit." she said and he nodded as Jacob finished it. "Good." he said and he looked at his version of the committee then as Jacob leaned across the table then his tone beyond stern then as he said it to her. "Major Shelby, as far as I'm concerned you've been a decorated member of the command."

"And though your judgements still stand, I'm not recommending dismissal right now." he said and she hid a sigh of relief. "Thank you Sir." she said and he went further then. "Now regarding your behavior back then, there is such a thing as taking that attitude way too far. And you did so when you popped off in the turbolift at the time, at the moment you're before your time, here the acts of insubordination are far more strict."

"With the acts of being taking before us as the joint chiefs and with it at the moment, had we seen this for real we'd bust you back to lieutenant. And you'd have to earn your rank back at the time, my daughter and Son in law are the leading experts on the Stargate and with them is lieutenant Hailey. But let me tell you, it takes more that fast thinking to survive out there, it takes careful strategy, thinking out your moves."

"Reading your opponent, and putting yourself in their heads, 'know your enemy and you defeat them', in order to do that, like you saw when you arrested Locutus. That's exactly what we're talking about, they're just like us, they want to know what makes us tick, they want to know us, so they can destroy us. That's what he was thinking about at the time, but there are better ways to do this without pushing until someone collapses."

"Out of exhaustion, as for that attitude problem, two broken orders, one unspoken, but it doesn't matter, he told you his opinions and you still broke orders. As to that, starting now, I'm placing you on probation, and you're returning to your previous rank, till you get that attitude under control. But I promise you, try this again, and you're getting busted back to junior grade, understand." he said and she nodded to him gently.

"As you heard my previous remark, Commander, once this the timeline resets at the moment, you're never going to remember this. But I promise you, in the next one, the person running field ops once the captain gets taken. And Will's promoted to Captain, is me, I'm charge, and I'm not tolerating that attitude, understand." Daniel said to her sternly and she nodded quickly, as he looked at Data gently at that.

"Alright, Data send her back, we need to have a firm chat here, admiral to admiral now at the moment regarding things. And with it, Kate is joining the group for this one, as she's his CMO, in year two at the moment. She's hearing the rest of this now, so send Commander Shelby back their present." Hammond said and he nodded to him as she disappeared in a flash and they sighed at that as Daniel straightened up.

Looking at Daniel, he smiled proudly as he said it. "Nicely done Daniel, that was really good." he said and Sam sighed. "Whoa, man talk about deju vu here, I didn't think she was holding in a grudge at the fact that Will was male version of me at the time. Decorated officer, every class highest grade ever, every award same thing, that kid needs to get her jealousy under control and quick." she said and Will nodded in agreement.

"Yeah that's the catch evidently, but like you I was happy staying at one position all this time. Until I was ready to accept that position, I wanted to stay put, you've been a lieutenant commander for close to five years. And until you were ready, you decided to keep that rank, before they decided to promote you and that's it." he said and she nodded as he looked at her gently at that as the trio changed subjects then.

"Where the heck did you learn to do that, Commander?" Quinn asked and he chuckled. "Been hanging around the military way too much is how Sir, as it is, it takes a certain level knowing what you're looking at to realize your best student, or officer in this case. Is beyond jealous that there's someone even better than they are, that's the argument that Jenny had with Sam, before she brought her here at the time."

"So best to get her to explode, she's always calm and collected around you and Will Sir, so best to bring it somewhere where's she's not getting away with anything. And let her jealousy break down the front door now. That conversation was shifted around, but I know Sam so well I didn't have hear the words out loud, it's like her thoughts jumped into me to get it right. Hailey chilled out after she got a glimpse of her future."

"But in this case we're adding gate travel to things in the next timeline, so they can study the damn thing later. But whoever's screwing around with it stay out of range, the backlash will destroy anything standing right in front of it. So two ways to get around after the Goa'uld go extinct here and like Starfleet. The gate's also based in San Fransisco, but to switch subjects what the heck was Kirk's crew doing in 1986."

"I mean it's 300 years after our time, why would you need to jump to the past to do this?" he asked and Quinn sighed. "What's the fourth movie in their history focused on Commander?" he asked and Daniel explained that. "With Spock regaining his memories, the seven were exiled till they got the news that earth was endanger by a satellite and to prevent it from destroying earth, they discovered that the only extinct animal."

"That could remedy this was a humpback whale, so they volunteered to retrieve two of them from the past and ended up in L.A. of 1986. If I've got the dates right, it's December 18-19 of 1986, so stardate 8390.0 at the time. Jim is an admiral and they seven got turned into outsiders for disobeying the prime directive but were given a second chance by saving earth, but going to our past, to save your future."

"Said past when Sam and I are 21 to 22 and her father is a colonel now at the time. But they ended up bumping into a marine biologist and Chekov gets arrested, being mistaken as a KGB spy and is nearly killed after suffering a head injury and they've got to get him out of the hospital." he said and Hasson nodded, impressed. "That's what happened alright, but none of you realized that their crew ended up in your past."

"You think you can deal with this, so you and Commander Carter are the first to come into contact with them. But leave the rest of your history starting from Abydos and forward unaltered. Because you change too much it's going to alter the future, and our lives are going to be different." he said and Daniel nodded to him. "Yes Sir, it won't be a problem, but our family lives are going to change, everything else though."

"Regarding the wars and Stargate program are not so things are going to stay the same you have them in the history books at the moment. But in place of our names are Steven Raynor and Rak'nor after that, but I'm going to be in Danny's subconscious right after that. Once we hit the day the Stargate program reactivates, as I'm working here at the base dealing with helping Steven crack the code, he's replacing me for that mission."

"As for why, it's my wife is pregnant with my first child or twin children, and I'm not going on mission that is going to leave my wife a widor or my children fatherless now. Everything you have in the history books is going to stay the same, but change their names for ours, when you meet us and get settled on the ship at the time and that's the whole story Kate." he said and she nodded to him as he sighed as he finished.

"To put that firmly is I'm getting reincarnated as my grandson, as is Teal'C in the case of his grandson's case, so though you don't understand why the ship's records are now completely flawless at the moment. It's we can prevent the type of problems that the movies and tv show, show by showing the eight where to make changes, but the only ones in the know are now the ten, though this gets out all over the ship."

"And no one is going to transfer off of it when they learn that two of the crew members of have the memories and knowledge of the ancestors buried in their subconscious. And said predecessors are are the other half of the most well known team in the history of the Stargate program." he said and the trio nodded to him gently. "To answer your unasked question to why I chose now to do this it's because of him."

"Ever since he met Sam, it's he's letting his emotions get in the way of what needs to be done. And with it, he's sounding like the chosen one, just weeks before the emperor turns him to the darkside by using his emotions and feelings for his catalyst against him. But with it, he's now slowly turning into his alter ego or has completely. And the generals are isolating him from the source of it because it's too much temptation."

"Basically there's two scenarios that could be construed to this and the first is the one I just mentioned the other is paranormal tv show based on witch-craft and we hit season three on it and the demon boyfriend is on the edge of relapse. While her brother in law is an angel. And I'm the one playing the brother in law and trying to prevent her heart from getting broken again." he said and they nodded as Jack looked at him in shock at that.

"That's not true!" Jack said in shock and Teal'C crossed his arms. "Indeed it is true Oneill, Skaara was the catalyst that nearly resulted in Apophis winning that scrimmage and destroying Earth. And it's because you were letting your own personal feelings for the host to get in the way of what needs to be done. Whether you knew it or not, it's the act of being in command training at the time and with those words in mind now."

"Daniel had his mind focused on the problem at hand, looking for a peaceful resolution to things in every situation now at the time. But here's the bottom line now Oneill, do you truly not understand the ways of what your training were destined to become once we uncovered The Heliopolis at the time. The races were training you three, of the three of you, only Major Carter and Daniel have passed the tests and they earned their ranks."

"But a warrior must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind, you must bury your feelings deep down or it's going to destroy everything you hold dear. And Major Carter and Skaara are your weakness." he said to him sternly and he swallowed. "If it was anyone from the next portion of the crew, medical and science, technical or even security contingent, I'd let that go, but directly inside the inner circle at the time."

"And the same color, practically same post, no I wouldn't tolerate it if it caused a fight to break out at the time. It was after I reprimanded Derek Hanson that I told Wesley that in situations that call to stay focused, like what you pulled regarding the orbital attack. It's you let your emotions get in the way of what needs to be done and it's going to put the team at risk. And evidently Johnathan has never take that lesson seriously here."

"But how much are you like me if you're saying that, because it would take serious amount charges in things here to have to be dragged before the committee. So he's retired, before he can hurt anyone else or put the federation at risk?" Picard asked and Daniel sighed. "Everything you read up on his record here in the program is it at the moment, but of the two of us, I didn't just cave into my anger or hate."

"Or let it fuel me here, but there's five catches to his becoming like the character on the movie and they're all centered around the fact he's reached his trials to gain the next rank up. To put this bluntly, is if we were the Jedi order, he's spent three years as a knight. At the pinnacle of his career it enters the next portion of it, it's having too much pressure piling up on his shoulders, he's killed in cold blood for real finally."

"He's now having visions of losing his mate in child birth after he just lost a loved one, he's being ordered to spy on the galactic president, and said president is enticing him with a way to keep his love interest alive. But that's all of it now in his case, Sam and I are playing the other two lead characters not the movie, he's playing the lead character, before he self destructed and turned into his alter ego, and Sam, Sarah and Skaara."

"As well as the NID and Kinsey, Admiral Vidrine are the source of that self destruction, so despite knowing they can't have a relationship, because he's her CO. He's letting his emotions get in the way of what needs to be done, but that's the difference between us now, I was under orders not to shake up the hornets nest when they were trapped in the mines, but that's why I need a severe break from him and the reason here."

"In regarding my feelings, let alone the fact that I can't control the added memory recalls. And if I don't get my abilities under control. If they come back, it's going to be as serious as when Deanna lost control of her empathy link and with her. Another comic book character. But Ancient abilities are telepathy, telekinesis, powers over the elements and healing powers, it's going to take a good six to seven months to control them."

"Just like Wes was dealing with his sudden power bursts when the Traveler was on board the ship and collapsed twice while doing it. That's going to be me all over it I don't get this under control, but the admiral and the group mainly responsible for all of this. Aside from Jack, are the ones that are wanting more technology. I mean we spent 2 1/2 gathering allies and abilities and when we hit the midway point regarding this."

"Said midway point when my godfather was captured by Sokar, that's when the demands for more technology started breaking down the front door. And we shifted from exploration to an arms race. Jack goes under cover and he changes back into his alter ego, who's as close to Segei as you can get. And I know if he was still black ops he'd do the entire thing." he said and Jack felt his heart crush at the remark as he finished.

"But if we do this over again, you're not going to remember ever having this conversation with us, before I break the news to you why the timeframe got reset in the first place. But my career in the program is at an end, I prefer exploration to search and retrieval, the job's less dangerous that way. Though I guarantee that when you hear this you're going to kill him for it." he said and then looked between them firmly as he said it.

"What did the records indicate regarding Jack if we're in the history books exactly, and I'm just dragging up the last 13 years our time in general." he said to him. "What's the date here, when are we, so we got the date?" O'Brien asked and she explained that to him gently. "It's early April of 2003, Daniel just returned from being a traveler four months ago and we found him on Vis Uban, before destroying Anubis's weapon.

"And Jonas Quinn returned to his planet, while our team got put back in one piece, before the added truth just destroyed it finally at the moment. But the colonel got cloned like six weeks ago and Teal'C is recovering from a mission to free his son and mentor and that was yesterday at the time. Before we got the bomb dropped on us regarding the truth here in this and with that in mind." she said and they nodded to her as Will did it.

"That though a class clown, his personality is cynic, sarcastic and when on the job he turns into a commando. Regarding the team, it's the team always comes first and never mind the civilians and bystanders, I also saw in his records that his next of kin was now out of the picture and his connection to Daniel had been severed. His records read like that of psychological horror show, while yours and Daniel's showed something else."

"Said something else a clear line to how brilliant you are and that you, together, have saved the earth 50 times in five years now at the moment. But you both show the aptitude to what we'd be looking for if you joined the crew. And it's the same for Teal'C, but command crew, technical crew, security, but all of you would make a fine addition to the enterprise if you were there in our present." he said and she smiled at the remark.

"What was Tasha like at first, before the accident?" she asked and he sighed. "Like you when you and Daniel met at the time, but she and I got along fine, though I was her team leader, we were close friends. Though it'll be different he still has a way to remember you now by Tasha and me taking your spots, if Oneill bothered to just accept the memory and dealt with it like a man." he said and she nodded to him gently.

As O'Brien finished that as he said it. "I can take a guess that before we arrived your final remark regarding with him over extending himself, on two occasions, regarding you guys. That as the ones he spends the most time with its making sure he doesn't land himself back in sickbay, for aggravating his injuries or recovery, Jim?" he asked and Siler nodded as he said it, bemused, as he answered him.

"Yeah that's right, at the time after they got jolted to the beta gate he ended up with a second, near third degree concussion after getting thrown out of ours headfirst. He spent up to a week trying to crack it, and it was only after he did that the fact he wasn't resting at all just pushed him into a collapse. Again after the sarcophagus, and then to top it off here is that he had his system impact and crash, right after they got stuck on Adjo."

"Which explains why his appendix ruptured, ten day asleep in recovery, and then two weeks more, but it was after Thor hijacked them. That the guys and I had to take charge, just to prevent him from falling asleep on his feet. And while the colonel is too busy screwing around, we of the technical team and his team are the ones making sure he doesn't over do it or land himself back in the infirmary for being to rough on himself."

"But we've only got 700 people working here and at the moment Doctor Frasier doesn't have the time or resources needed to deal with his traumas. Not when we don't have a way to replicate the memories so he can heal. But the chairs are too dangerous for that, because repeated resets are going to kill him out of exhaustion. As will the memory recall devices and we got evidence to that after it short circuited the last memory."

"And it wasn't the Goa'uld either, but he was seeing his attacker when he had that micro-bug infect him. Flashback, so the only option left is by his doing this on the holodeck, just with the system that sophisticated, there's no likely chance for any margin for error and not when you're seeing that memory for yourselves. Just don't bring that up, or he's going to lose control, and his mind is going to flashback to that memory."

"But it was after Colonel Ferretti defused it that they let the colonel have it for that, but in his eyes, he knew the second you heard this, you were going to kill him. Of thirty officers the ones that knew the most about his mission were me, Graham, Walter, Grace, Perry, Dr. Warner and David Jefferson. And Daniel risked his life pulling stunts he'd never try." he said and the technician nodded as he answered him gently at that.
