Chapter Twenty-five
When John and Jackie were beamed away, they ended up on Prometheus. Daniel showed them around the ship, telling them that Sam designed most of the systems. They were there for half an hour before he showed them the bridge. They were shocked when they looked out the window and could see Earth. They talked to the crew for few minutes before it was time to beam down to the gate room. When it did happen, they looked around the room till they saw the Stargate for the first time.
"What is that?" John asked, looking at it.
"That is the Stargate, and this is the SGC short for Stargate command" then Hammond showed up.
"John, Jackie O'Neill, this is Lieutenant General George Hammond."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you both," they shook hands.
"You too General, Jack talks about you in his phone calls," Hammond smiled.
"Well, I didn't know you were alive, Jack never talks about his family much."
"He's always been like that."
"If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thanks we will, is it true that Jack's been to other planets?"
"Yes."
"Wow."
"You remember Teal'c?"
"Yes."
"He's from another planet called Chulak."
"He looks human."
"He is, but different, I'll tell you all about it."
"Ok," they walked out of the gate room and up to the control room.
"All of this is Sam's doing."
"All of it?"
"Yes, right down to the programs."
"Jack did tell us she is smart."
"Yes she is," Daniel said smiling.
"Dr. Jackson, how are General O'Neill and Colonel Carter?" Walter asked.
"When I saw them good, Jack had just healed his Mum here just before we left the hospital."
"That's good to know, this place hasn't been the same without them," Daniel looked at Jack's parents.
"I'll explain later" they both nodded. Then he showed them upstairs in the briefing room.
"This is where they first meet." They looked around the room before he showed them Jack's office, then other areas of the base, including Sam's lab. When they walked in there, Daniel turned the lights on.
"Wow, what are these?" John went to pick up an alien device, but Daniel stopped him.
"Sorry, we're not sure, Sam hasn't seen it yet, please don't touch it, we don't know what it is."
"Oh, ok," Daniel smiled 'like father like son' he thought.
Then they left and he showed them around a bit more, till they came across the toilets and they needed to go, so he let them while he waited outside for them. When they returned, they carried on walking and talking. Then they reached the infirmary and walked in and looked around.
"Dr Lam, these are John and Jackie O'Neill, Jack's parents."
"Hi, nice to meet you both."
"You too, Dr Lam."
"Sam was wondering if you could test them for the gene?"
"Sure." She walked away to get the things she needed while Daniel showed them over to the gurneys.
"Daniel, what gene?"
"Jack's got the Ancient gene, he one out of three on this base who have it and can control all Ancient devices, but his gene is way stronger than the other two."
"Ok, so what do you need to find out?"
"Just a blood sample," Dr Lam walked back over to them. They both sat on the bed while Dr Lam took the sample. When finished, she stood up and cleaned up the mess.
"Would you like to know which one of you has got the gene?"
"Sure, how long will it take?"
"Not long, come with me to the labs and I'll show you how it's done."
"Ok," they all walked out of the lab.
Both John and Jackie asked them lots of different question that they both answered, till they reached the lab. They watched Dr Lam use the equipment for five minutes, and then writing came up on the computer. She was shocked with the results and looked at them.
