Previously:
Martin tells Teal'c about his last bicycle tour in detail. Many details. Teal'c likes it. Jack and Elisa look at eachother amused and start to talk quietly about the Simpsons.
.
.
They stay inside the mountain.
The next day they meet again in the conference room.
The General, O'Neill, Carter, Jackson, Teal'c, Dr. Fraiser, Elisa and Martin sit down. Like yesterday the room is secured and stairs clear, so there aren't ear droppers. General Hammond would have liked to use his office but the room was small for 8 persons. If they will have another one of this meeting, he will have to use his office.
General Hammond starts the meeting: " What do we have?"
The medical doctor says: The test came back. The two and Colonel O'Neill are healthy and don't have an illness. Elisa and Martin aren't aliens. They DNA is Tau'ri. Nothing unusual. Colonel O'Neill asked me to run his DNA against Elisa's. "
They look at Jack. "I was curious. It could have been that they are similar. If they were close enough, we could use it for a cover story."
Jackson smiles and asks: " What is it?"
"There are some similarities.", Fraiser says and puts a paper down, " It isn't close enough for a daughter or sister but you could work with it if you want to Colonel."
"Would half-sister function?", Jack asks. " No."
"2nd cousin?" "Risky. Something between them would be better."
Elisa says: "Half-niece. Would that go?" "Half-niece?", Jack asks.
Elisa says: " If you had an half-brother who you didn't know and he had a daughter. You don't have tondo that. "
"I don't want the NID or others to to do something. Doc?", Jack says.
" That would be a possibility. It would be a close connection but it would still have other genetics. If I take away the genetics which are often found with Swedish or Scandinavian persons, than I get the genetics I can work with. This ones are similar or close enough to the Colonel. Normal siblings have close enough matches of 50-75%. Half-siblings have a lower one but it still can be high. With a half-brother we can count some of them and just a few areas are left which can be explained away to the Swedish female mother or the female mother from the half-brother."
"That isn't something which has to be decided now. Let us talk about if and how you could help is..", Hammond says.
Elisa says: " We talked and how would you find it if we would give examples what we would or wouldn't have changed? You could add what you would have liked to know."
"That sounds like a good idea."
The other nod.
"Before we do that. Major did you find anything?", Hammond asks.
" They don't have any strong strange radiation. I checked the area which they arrived at at the most possible way they took to Colonel O'Neill's house. I didn't find any strange energie or other things. We weren't monitoring it at the time so they could have been something short time. No strange weather pattern or atmospheric anomalies. Sat-Com didn't pick up any spaceships either. I managed to get some camera footage from their trip to the Colonel's house. So. That checks out."
Elisa and Martin have wide eyes. Elisa rolls the eyes.
Hammond says: "Doctor Jackson?"
"I searched through different sources. The problem is that I found too much. There are many dis-, reappearances or appearances but they don't fit it or they fit it just a bit. I'm sorry. If I can't find something distinctive, it won't really help us. Perhaps the Tok'ra or Asgard could help us."
"NO.", is loudly, strongly and abruptly said by Jack and Elisa.
Silence.
The two look at eachother. The others look at them.
General Hammond asks: " Why shouldn't we do that?"
Elisa asks Jack with a move with the head and he answers with his hand. He gives the gesture for 'Go ahead'.
"It would be a good idea to contact the Asgard. It would be better not to inform the Tok'ra. I really don't want they attention. If you asked about suddenly appearing persons, it would mean that it happened. It wouldn't take long and they would have found out a big part of it. I don't trust them 100%. There is the possibility that there could be spies, tortured captured Tok'ras or hosts, stolen or lost information, someone blabbers or the simple: 'A spy organisation sells informations' thing.", says Elisa.
" It would be a bad time for that.", Martin Costa adds.
They look to him. Costa adds: "They will want something in the future. It is the next ›Pause‹ episode. Sorry. I mean. I know that you are real. How should I call them?"
"Perhaps you should stay with it or switch to 'part'. That way we could distinguish between the TV show and what is real. We could think of a different word later.", Dr. Jackson says.
Costa says: " In the next part the Tok'ra want something. I don't want them to think that you have to pay them a flavour back."
Elisa adds: "We don't know if it is the next bigger thing. There could be a different Tok'ra thing or something else between them. It could be in 2 days or 2 months."
Jack O'Neill says: "General. I really don't want the Tok'ra to find out about them. I know they fight against the symbiots. I still don't want to do that."
Hammond: "I agree. We can discuss it at a later time if we can't get you help otherwise."
Elisa says: "If the next thing is closer, than you wouldn't get in contact with General Carter. He has things to do. We can tell you that it is the next episode if General Carter is inside the mountain wants Dr. Jackson to play a slave."
"Wait. What?", Jackson screams.
" Sorry. I can't tell you more. Perhaps after the examples."
Major Carter says: "We a special situation. Technically they shouldn't tell us anything. It could change something. For example, if we don't change something, than we know that SG1 and Earth are still there. This is still different than time travel. The future hasn't happened yet. We don't know how similar the TV show and reality are."
Elisa says: "She is right." Carter looks up surprised.
Elisa says: "Don't be surprised."
Carter: "I thought you don't like me."
Elisa: "I like you. I say the things I want to say. Sometimes persons don't like to touch that topic, are hurt or embarrassed. I think it is better to tell a woman that the butt is bigger than average but still suits the woman, than to say that the behind doesn't look big and the black trousers make it smaller."
Doctor Jackson: "That would be hurtful but I guess in long-term it would hurt less."
Carter: "Women don't like it when someone tells them their bottom is big or being called fat."
The Colonel and the General roll their eyes. Teal'c looks confused, well, Teal'c has that blank face but there is still something that indicates that he is confused.
Teal'c says: "I am confused. Wouldn't you or other women want to be told the truth. Why would you like to be lied to? Or is this a Tau'ri thing?"
Elisa: "Yes and No. There are persons who like the truth and others who want the lies and pretty embellishments or they want it to look like it. They are lying to themselves. It's a society paradigm thing. Social paradigms are in general stupid and hurt more than they help. Just act like you want to. If there is something one really really shouldn't do, than one can ask or friends can warn one. In some countries they are more important that in others and places can have different paradigms. In one country it can be bad or against their laws to touch the head of a child; in a different country it would be something they do to eachother; in an other different country it could be that it doesn't matter you jus have to ask for permission.
In one country it could be that women are treated as equals, in an other it could be that they are treated like property, where it is bad to treat them better. A different thing is that the partner of a queen or king walks behind them. It isn't just feminism. It doesn't matter if its a female or male. They should be equals. Or pulling a chair out or opening a door. A woman can open a door too, especially if she is there first. It's actually more unpractical to let the other person open it. She knows better how she likes the chair. In addition a man shouldn't have to open doors or move chairs just because it is what the society thinks.
Social paradigms are often things that either stayed from past things where it was practical but often it is a way of control. Control which is hidden in nice sentences."
"Don't you go to far?", Major Carter asks.
" No. While it can be nice sometimes or look nice, it doesn't mean that it isn't a sign of suppression.
Deciding where someone sits and with that the talking partners, what gets ordered, who enters first and represents them. I'm not saying that every male or person who does one of the things consciously suppresses others. Perhaps they want to be nice and think that it is nice even if it isn't if you look closer.
Telling a woman that the butt isn't or doesn't look big is like a part of politics. They say what the persons want them to. They still will do what they want. They say nice things or things nicely but it is a different thing. For example, calling the Korean war a conflict or a law which officially is to protect forests but in real just makes it possible to cut off a specific part of a forest or in exchange for the law they get something from someone else.
Teal'c. If you want to, we can talk about it at a different time." Teal'c agrees.
Elisa: "Back to the topic. Major Carter is right. Just this discussion could change things."
General Hammond says: "While I find this topic interesting, we should get back to our topic."
Before the General could say more Elisa says: " There is something important. " Hammond looks at the female O'Neill and nods. "Make it short."
Elisa: "I want to make one thing clear. Just because in the TV show you and Earth were fine in a few month, doesn't mean that you are fine in reality. Firstly it doesn't have to match and I didn't say that you will be there personally, will be bodily-alive or bodily-dead, will be on Earth or somewhere else. Secondly what if you get surprised or bodily-killed because you thought that you will be fine and aren't cautiously enough. Or. You didn't fight with your complete strength. You didn't act and decide with the thought that someone or something could bodily-kill you.
Things can go wrong. You. Teal'c, Carter, Jackson, Jack, General Hammond. You have to act as if you don't know the future. You had to act like you would with the knowledge you have without the TV show. And. You have to go through that gate knowing that it is dangerous."
At the end of the talking Elisa is standing, breathing strongly.
Elisa looks at each of them.
Teal'c nods and says: "I will fight and not act carelessly."
Major Carter says: "Persons sometimes work faster with pressure. It could be that we get captured because we thought that we wouldn't be captured and didn't try something what we normally would. "
Doctor Jackson: "I will act like I usually do and decide depending on the situation what I do and not because of a TV show."
Colonel Jack O'Neill says: "So. Business like usual." "Indeed.", Teal'c adds and Elisa's shoulders relax.
General Hammond nods and agrees: " Indeed 'indeed'. The usual danger."
She sits down again. "Was it too long?"
"No.", Hammond say, "It was important. A different topic. Any ideas how to get you back?"
"No. They didn't come through the gate.", says Jackson.
"No.", says Teal'c.
"Nope. Perhaps they just disappear again.", says O'Neill.
"Not really.", says Martin.
" No. Mister.", says Carter.
"Ingen. We could stand at the same place at night. But I have a doubt it.", says Elisa.
General Hammond says: " It is an idea we can try in a few days. We won't hurt to try it. We will ask the Asgard for help. We will have to act as if you will stay for longer. There is the possibility that we won't be able to send you back. Let's talk about that and the options about your cover story later and tomorrow.
What can you tell us about past missions and what you would have changed? Start with an unchanged version."
Elisa and Martin nod.
