"Sir, there was a malfunction of the iris system right after activation of the Gate, letting Alice go through it. We can't find the source of malfunction," Captain Carter gave out her report to General.
"She also seems to know an awful lot about us," added Colonel. "I had moved her to the interrogation room and left with Teal'c."
"Was she speaking with an accent? Teal'c had confirmed she is not a goa'uld, so maybe it will help us to find out where she is from?" asked Daniel, pushing his glasses up a bit, looking at General Hammond.
"Check it," the general nodded, giving the linguist a green-light. "Dismissed."
Teal'c was looking at me. I was sitting facing the door. He won the starring contest long ago - I blinked.
The door opened with a whoosh sound, letting in Daniel Jackson.
"I have to know if you had gone through a mirror," I bit out to him in Russian when he stood next to Teal'c.
"Yes, I have gone through the mirror," answered me the confused archaeologist in English, before the Jaffa managed to shush him.
"Brilliant," I breathed out, immediately relaxing in my seat.
"Does it mean that you are from a different reality?" asked Teal'c, Daniel's incident with the mirror to alternative realities coming to mind.
"You could say so," I pulled my hands over the table, stretching a bit my shoulders. Now, I had to make them check if I existed in this reality. "In the future that may, or may not come," due to my messing, "you will learn that people coming from parallel realities may have a problem of coexisting with their local carbon copy. I really need to know if you have another 'me' in this world."
Captain Carter has joined her commanding officer, who was slightly irked by the girl's behavior, in the observation gallery.
"She's good, she held her own against Teal'c," he whistled in admiration, against all reason.
'…I really need to know if you have another 'me' in this world,' was heard in the gallery.
"Why would she say that? Oh… She's good!" exclaimed Carter. At the prompting glance of O'Neill, she explained. "Entropic cascade failure! The increased entropy generated by both of her existing in the same reality might…theoretically, be causing a temporal distortion. This could lead to her death… But... How did she know?"
"I'll inform the General. Get started on this."
A/N1: Hello! Thank you for reading "How screwed are you?"!
A few points to address:
1. The length of the chapters will vary. I am striving to make them longer (I heard you, Player42. Please don't worry ^^). And I cannot promise regular updates, yet.
2. Changed my account name (from LuthienOronar to An'yaSobola)
See you next chapter!
