SG-1, Carter, and Thor returned from visiting Primus. Thor connected O'Neill's storage device up to the system.

"That is completely boring," replied O'Neill, "How many years did it take you to get back?"

"Years? It's been twenty minutes since we last talked," replied Carter.

"Twenty years maybe," replied O'Neill

"Commander O'Neill, not only was the storage capacity in this unit increased but a faster processor was added as well. Time would have seemed much longer for you, than before," replied Thor.

"Sir, can you let us know what's going on?" asked Mitchell.

"Indeed, it would be wise for us to be knowledgeable in this information as well," replied Teal'c.

"First off there is a chip that will be added to all the battle suits that will allow you to see into the seventeenth dimension. This needs to be integrated into all ships as well. Thor buddy, can you see to it being integrated everywhere?" asked O'Neill.

"Certainly O'Neill, I will see to it being added to all ships and suits," replied Thor.

"That would be extremely helpful," replied Vala.

"Indeed!" replied Teal'c.

"We need to begin planning a trip to Destiny. Primus and I agree it's possible the signal in the background radiation may provide us with information that will help us with the Old Ones," replied O'Neill.

"We're going to Destiny finally?" asked Jackson.

"Yes Daniel," replied O'Neill, "It was my intention to wait, but I believe we may find it's mission helpful."

"Anything else to help us with the Old Ones?" asked Mitchell, "I mean this chip that will let us see them will go a long way."

"Sorry Col. Mitchell, nothing else at the moment," replied O'Neill.

"Can't blame a guy for hoping," replied Mitchell.

"Carter, you will find in your lab, a massive book on the complete details of the stargate being printed. It's going to be a few volumes," replied O'Neill.

"Complete details?" asked Carter.

"Yes, complete details, everything from the entire protocol of the Stargate to the physics of the wormhole, and all associated data. I suspected Primus had spent time studying the Stargate and he did. So I put together everything from the Repository of Knowledge with his information and created a fifteen-volume book set on it. The last three volumes are the cross-indexes," replied O'Neill.

"Can I get a copy of that?" asked Hayley.

"How is your body going to be able to handle all of this information?" asked Jackson.

"I've modified my genetic structure slightly. I only need to be able to retain slightly more than I could already. Most of this stuff I'm putting into the Repository of Knowledge. Also, Thor buddy, need you to work with Primus he is going to give us a massive download of data, that we need to direct into the Repository of Knowledge," replied O'Neill.

"Are we sure this is wise?" asked Thor.

"I've had a very good look at his programming, he means us no harm. In fact, he wants to help us in any way he can. He sees us as an extension of Amelius's legacy," replied O'Neill.

"Since when did you understand programming?" asked Jackson.

"Since I read every book on the internet on programming. All of the notes that Col. Carter and Dr. McKay have ever written on Ancient systems. Also after studying the Repository of Knowledge for a considerable amount of time," replied O'Neill.

"This seems like you are becoming the O'Neill that Dr. Keller warned us about?" spoke Teal'c.

"You are right. I do know how to modify the Stargate to access parallel universes. However, I am deleting that information from all systems. The risks are far too great. And I'm not speaking about stealing, because I would never condone that. We simply would not be able to access them without risk, " replied O'Neill.

That is when Sargent Greer entered the room, "Sir's Commander Landry would like to be briefed on what all has occurred,"

"Yup I bet he does," replied O'Neill.

O'Neill spent the afternoon with Commander Landry and Commander Caldwell, going over all the information he had learned. The agreements he had put into place with Primus on watching the Old Ones for any activity. The alliance that O'Neill had worked with Primus would provide advanced information on the Old Ones, and advanced knowledge beyond what the Asgard or Ancients had.

O'Neill had made the few slight genetic modifications to his new body. Dr. Beckett was monitoring the growth rate, and studying the process under Loki. He was hoping to be able to duplicate this in a way to help all the people of Earth. Dr. Keller resumed her normal duties in medical. While the council continued to debate what to do with the Evil Twin Dr. Keller, and Maj. Carter. Lya was firm on sending them both back, while Master Bra'tac was firm on punishing Dr. Keller. Woosley and Hammond were keeping the peace, but could not reach a consensus.

Meanwhile, Janus was still locked away from the universe, in his lab, doing his research into the Dakara Weapon. Nobody had heard from him since he entered, and O'Neill couldn't access it until he was back in his own body.

Planning for a mission to Destiny was underway. Col. Lorne would use the Hades to take SG-1, Dr. Simpson, and additional SG teams to secure, and repair the Destiny. Dr. McKay was programming nanites with the Destiny schematics. Mithcell would be in charge of Destiny once it was reached and boarded. SG-1 would lead the mission and travel between the ship would commence directly with Atlantis command. The Hades would remain as an escort to the Destiny until such time as it was no longer needed. Teal'c would not be going on this mission with SG-1, instead, he would be remaining with the recruits training.

Commander O'Neill had taken to his normal duties as a hologram working from his office. Blue Jell-O would disappear from the commissary, only to reappear shortly after O'Neill would realize he couldn't eat it. Carter and the Nemesis were on shore leave.

Chloe Armstrong knocked on O'Neill's door, "Sir may I have a minute?"

"Certainly Ms. Armstrong come on in," replied O'Neill.

"I wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with today?" asked Armstrong.

"Currently no, I think I have caught up with all of the requests that you had placed on my desk. Read and approved all of the reports. Is there anything else I need to do?" asked O'Neill

"No, sir. As part of the computer you are certainly getting things done," replied Armstrong.

"Well not having to sleep at night and being able to multitask as I have never done before it's easy," replied O'Neill.

"I'd like to extend your authority. To processing requests coming into me. You may authorize them and provide a summary of them to me to sign off on. Also, I wanted to ask how your father is doing?" asked O'Neill.

"He is doing great, trying to help with adjustments for everyone with the Stargate being disclosed," replied Armstrong.

Carter was counting down the days as time went by four more days and Jack's body would be ready. O'Neill was keeping a constant presence with her in their quarters. That night, the broadcast came across with an urgent report. Julia Donovan was reporting, on an attack at the Atlantis Outputs in Roshtqala, Tajikistan.

"The attack came at dusk, a group of approximately 200 militants, claiming to be from H.O.P.E. attacked the base. The security detail assigned to the base was easily able to repel the force, most of whom, were captured and are now being detained by the Atlantis Command. The Atlantis Outpost did not receive any damage, and all power is still functional," replied Donovan.

"How long have you known about that?" asked Carter.

"About an hour, being able to multitask has its advantages," replied O'Neill.

"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Carter.

"There was nothing for you to do, I was doing what I needed to do. Agent Barrett is handling it," replied O'Neill.

The next day Agent Barrett, and Agent Johnson spent considerable time interrogating the rioters that were captured. They had learned very little, as Odai Ventrell was only known through his video calls. Nobody had seen him in person. This meant he had another way to send a signal to Earth that Atlantis was not monitoring. Eli Wallace was hard at work, trying to find how he was doing this. Ginn was working with him trying to assist.

Dr. Rush was working with McKay on the Nanites to repair Destiny. There would be two phases to the repairs. An initial repair to bring destiny back to hear original condition. Followed by a second set of upgrades to bring Destiny to the newest technologies. Mitchell was working with SG-1, SG-3, SG-5, and SG-9 with the boarding procedures and the exact steps to clear Destiny when it was ready for boarding. They would be using the mechanized suits in case of any hull breaches the suits would protect them. Dr. Rush had once again been assigned to the Hades under Col. Lorne.

Col. Lorne was prepping his crew for any type of encounter they may find. Destiny was just slightly out of their range of the wormhole drive so they would make one jump and monitor for when Destiny would drop out of F.T.L. and then jump to its coordinates. The Ares would be on standby if additional forces were needed.

Mani was delivering the Apollo to Earth, as it's fourth DN-1103. Commander Caldwell had assigned the command to Col. Young, his crew had trained and was prepared for the DN-1103. Apollo was stationed in the Sol system assigned to planetary defense.

Thor met with O'Neill in his office, "Commander O'Neill, I have completed my query of the Repository of Knowledge on all known planets that would habitable to the Furlings. Only seventeen were found. We have sent probes to all seventeen. Nine appear to have no sentient life, while another five had extremely hostile species living there that dominate the planet. The remaining three, one appears to have supported an advanced race as one time, but no longer present, the second appears to have undergone a planet-scale catastrophe, and the third appears overrun with advanced electronics."

"That is disappointing. This advanced electronics any threat?" asked O'Neill.

"Currently they do not appear to be. They are in a galaxy far from here, however it should be noted that it is from the previous Galaxy that Destiny had visited," replied Thor.

"Brief Col. Lorne with all the details you have just in case," replied O'Neill.

Later that Day Tomin wished to meet with Commander O'Neill.

"Sir thank you for seeing me under the circumstances," greeted Tomin,

"Not a problem, I'm finding I can get caught up with a lot of things with this multitasking," replied O'Neill.

"The Doci and I have spoken to many throughout the Ori galaxy. There are a few that resist, but as a whole, we would like to start the first steps of joining your alliance," spoke Tomin.

"That would be excellent," replied O'Neill.

"There are a couple of caveats. The Doci be our ambassador as you call it," replied Tomin.

"I think the council would find that acceptable," replied O'Neill.

"Second I want to work with Teal'c and Ronon in training. I studied their training practices and believe I can assist. We have a few additional tricks to add to them from the Ori," replied Tomin.

"Impress Teal'c and Ronon, and you are in. I won't shortcut that for them," replied O'Neill.

"Fair enough," replied Tomin.

"The next step will be for the Doci to meet with the council and discuss the integration process," replied O'Neill.

"I will pass that information along," replied Tomin.

"You can go see Teal'c and Ronon about the training position," replied O'Neill.

"I will do so," thanked Tomin.

Later that day Carter was making her way to the commissary, she passed Narim.

"Narim, I had not gotten a chance to say Hi!" greeted Carter.

"Hello Col. Carter, I can't.. I mean... I'm so sorry," cried Narim.

"Narim, you were under the control of a Goa'uld, you are not at fault for what happened. I am not upset at you," explained Carter.

"How can you not be?" asked Narim.

"I understand all too well what they do when they take control. There was nothing you could do," replied Carter.

"You are far too considerate," replied Narim.

"Come on you can eat lunch with me," replied Carter.

Later that day SG-1 was urgently summoned to Woosley's office.

"What's the emergency?" cried Mitchell.

"My presence was requested?" asked Teal'c coming into the office.

"Seems like I wasn't the only one," replied Landry.

"Sam will you be my maid of honor?" asked Vala.

"Jack would you be my best man?" asked Jackson.

"Yes!" from Carter and O'Neill.


"We're getting married right now!" replied Vala.

"What now? Not a big ceremony?" asked Haley.

"Look we don't know what may happen next. This Destiny mission is coming up. We're doing this now!" exclaimed Vala.

"What she said!" replied Jackson.

"Let's get this started!" shouted Vala.


Author's Note: The words for this service come from www greatofficiants com from the sample: My Favorite Ceremony.


Woosley began...

We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts. In this ceremony today we will witness the joining Vala Mal Doran and Daniel Jackson in marriage.

If there is anyone present who has just cause why this couple should not be united... Sussh!

Who gives this woman to be married today?


The alarm goes off.

"No don't stop, just hurry this up!" shouted Vala.

"Finish it! I've got it covered!" replied O'Neill.

Landry spoke up, "I do!"


Woosley continues

Today we have come together to witness the joining of these two lives. For them, out of the routine of ordinary life, the extraordinary has happened. They met each other, fell in love and are finalizing it with their wedding Today.

Romance is fun, but true love is something far more and it is their desire to love each other for life and that is what we are celebrating here today.

A good marriage must be created.

In marriage, the "little" things are the big things.

It is never being too old to hold hands.

It is remembering to say, "I love you" at least once a day.

It is never going to sleep angry.

It is standing together and facing the world.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is not only marrying the right person - it is being the right partner

O'Neill says, "We need to hurry this up!"

Woosley continues

Daniel Jackson, do you take Vala Mal Doran to be your Wife?

Jackson says, "I do!"

Vala Mal Doran, do you take Daniel Jackson to be your Husband?

Vala says, "I do!"

Jackson places a ring on Vala's finger and says...

I Daniel Jackson, take thee, Vala Mal Doran to be my Wife.

Vala places a ring on Jackson's finger and says...

I Vala Mal Doran, take thee, Daniel Jackson, to be my Husband.

Woosley continues...

By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife!

You may kiss your Bride.


O'Neill speaks up, "Everyone better get to the gateroom. This is getting out of hand!"

Landry, Carter, Mitchell, Haley, and Woosley arrive first in the gateroom. They are stunned standing before them are five O'Neills.

"Someone tell me what is going on?" asked Landry.

"Apparently I sent my code through. I ordered Walter to let me in. And four of me came through the gate. So far we have established there is a Colonel, two Generals, and a Supreme Commander versions of me," spoke the hologram O'Neill.

"This is getting out of hand," replied Landry.

"We're here to tell you how much out of hand," replied one of the O'Neills.

"We are here to warn you about the Old Ones," replied another of the O'Neills.

"We know about them already," replied O'Neill.

"Then you know you can't defeat them?" asked a different O'Neill.

"Actually I'm pretty sure we can," replied Landry.

"Hank, we have tried in my universe, but we couldn't touch them," replied the first O'Neill.

"Wait you know him?" asked the O'Neill who had been silent.

"Hank Landry we've been buddies for years," replied the first O'Neill.

"Never met him in mine," replied the last O'Neill.

"We were buddies till he got himself blown up in mine," replied the second O'Neill.

"This is giving me a headache," replied Carter.

"Who is she?" asked the first O'Neill.

"Don't know but I sure wouldn't mind getting to know her," replied the third O'Neill.

"That's President Carter," replied the fourth O'Neill.

"Now I'm getting a headache," replied hologram O'Neill, "One of you tell me why you all are together?"

"We managed to join together from different universes, and have been able to go around to warn other universes of the Old Ones," replied the first O'Neill.

"We know about them, and are preparing to fight them if necessary," replied Landry.

"Look the Asgard beam weapons won't do you any good against them," replied the second O'Neill.

"We have much better weapons than the Asgard beam weapons, we have already taken down a single one in an encounter," replied O'Neill.

"Wait a minute, Sargent Greer, go get Maj. Carter for me!" ordered O'Neill.

"Yes Sir!" replied Greer.

"Did you say, Maj. Carter?" asked the third O'Neill.

"Know her?" asked Landry.

The first O'Neill, pulled a device out from his vest, "Now we are going to dial this gate out of here and we will leave, or we will detonate this device leaving this Earth devastated for the next two millennia."

"Go ahead and press the shiny red button," encouraged O'Neill.

"I will do it!" shouted O'Neill.

"General O'Neill!" shouted Maj. Carter when she entered the gateroom.

"Tell them to back off and let us leave, Maj. Carter," ordered the first O'Neill.

"No, your coming with me. You caused the destruction of our Earth, you are going to pay for it!" replied Maj. Carter.

"Look I will blow us all up!" replied the first O'Neill.

"Please you will do no such thing!" replied O'Neill, "Walter!"

The device disappeared in a burst of light. Walter replied, "The object is out in deep space, the Ares is already targetting it, and it's destroyed now, sir."

"Maj. Carter this is your General O'Neill that started stealing?" asked Landry.

"Yes, he is supposed to be dead," replied Maj. Carter.

"OK, folks this is what we are going to do. Sgt. Greer put these four O'Neills in restraints. Lt. Scott, go get Dr. Keller from the brig. We are going to send the entire lot back with you Maj. Carter. It would not be advisable for any of you to try to come back to this universe," replied O'Neill.

Greer had the four O'Neills frisked and restrained quickly. Scott had Dr. Keller standing by. Landry saw to it, Maj. Carter received all of her items she came with. She used a small device to dial her alternative universe.

"Thanks for coming please do not come back!" shouted O'Neill. Greer and Scott shoved the prisoners through the stargate.

"Thank you all! You have done an amazing service for many universes!" spoke Maj. Carter as she stepped through the gate.

"Ok, I'm creating a new routine for the Stargate to prevent it from accepting any further wormholes between alternate universes. Walter see to it it is pushed to all stargates using the correlative update," replied O'Neill.
