We were sitting in the conference room, the one that has the view on the Stargate. By 'we' I mean: General Hammond (sitting at the head of the table), Doctor Fraiser, all of SG-1 (Carter was sitting between Doctor Fraiser and Daniel Jackson on one side of the table, Teal'c and Colonel sitting at my sides) and myself. Apparently, they had finished their research into me in this world.
After the interrogation fiasco, thanks to Daniel, I was lead to the Infirmary ward, where Doctor Fraiser forced me through a full medical check-up. It didn't take long for her. And all that time Daniel was fishing for more information.
"Your Russian is very good," he complimented. Teal'c just quirked one of his eyebrows, shifting his gaze to the spectacled man next to him.
"Am I a prisoner?" I asked as Doctor Fraiser drew blood for analysis. At that moment Colonel O'Neill had joined us.
"Not per se. But you are detained until we figure out what to make with you."
To tell or not to tell?
"Alice exists in this world," announced the Doctor.
"I sense a 'but'," prompted further O'Neill, raising a brow
"She is a 2 years old child and her DNA does correspond to Alice here, but it is not the same."
"So we are not the same person?" I asked leaning forward to the table.
"No, you are not the same person," she confirmed. I exhaled leaning back on the chair. All the eyes were on me. How to explain it?
"So, maybe you can explain now who are you?" demanded O'Neill. To tell or not to tell? That is the question!
"Jack!.." the archeologist moaned, but he was immediately shut by "Oh, shut it, Daniel."
"And how you knew about entropic cascade failure?" commented Carter.
I guess, I will.
"I... Ah. I believe I am… had managed to, somehow, travel not only between parallel realities but also in time," I admitted, crossing my hands on the chest.
"And," Colonel taunted. "What makes you believe that? Do you have any proof of… this?" My clothes, my knowledge, my phone. By the way where is that piece of metal sh#t that got me here? How am I supposed to get out of here? Does it even have any charge left? I mentally winced at that thought. I don't have even a charger on me...
"What date is it today?"
"I don't see how that is relevant." Must you be a prick? Don't ruin my crush on yourself!
"It is July 5th," stated Daniel. I raised my eyebrows, prompting him to add the year. "1998."
No need to leave room for doubt. I will be as blunt as possible.
"I was born in 1996, Doctor Fraiser just mentioned that Baby Alice is 2 years old. When I traveled from was 2017. And in my world, you were a TV series."
