Helping Holly.
Two and a half hours later they were in the conference room. Holly however was not present as she had been sedated and sent to rest in some quarters, where Doctor Fraiser was now with her.
"How's she doing?" General Hammond asked.
"Poor kids exhausted." Jack O'Neill answered.
"Yes I'd imagine it must be difficult for somebody her age to absorb all that's going on in that world at the moment." the General replied.
"I personally think she's absorbed it pretty well. I mean there's no reason why she shouldn't have done is there?" Daniel Jackson stated noticing the others looking at him. "Look I'm not trying to be harsh or anything, but this kid has grown up on this base around the SGC and its teams. Her mothers a member of one for gods sake..." he stated trailing off noticing the others were still staring. "...Well I would imagine she would have been prepared for such an attack, as much as any person can be anyway. I mean they held one off for eighteen years, they had to know they couldn't do it forever."
"I agree with Daniel, she is handling it pretty well, but we have to remember she is just a child. Who knows what's going on in her head at the moment. She has no clue if her mothers alive, no idea who her father is, imagine how hard it is for her not knowing while all this is going on. He could be dead for all she knows... we all could." Major Carter answered.
"Or he could have been right there all the time." O'Neill blatantly stated with regard to the Majors statement, then noticing all the others in the room staring at him stating "well he could've been."
"On to more pressing matters however." The General interrupted trying to quell a argument about to start between Carter and O'Neill " Did doctor Frasier do a blood test to check the child's allegations?"
"Yes sir." the Major answered "and yes they do indicate that the child is indeed my daughter."
"And the father..?"
"We didn't feel it necessary to identify the father through these tests." O'Neill told his superior officer.
"Colonel?"
"Her own mother didn't want her to know who her father was, and I think we should respect that."
" I'm not happy about this you realize Colonel." The General sternly told him. "However we do have other matters to discuss at the moment, one of those being that if we don't figure out a way to end this invasion Holly and the other sixty or so children who are refugees from that universe may not have one to go back to."
"Well apart from the Asguard I seriously doubt that there is any other race who hold the ability to put the proverbial wind up the Goa'uld. Hell even they couldn't scare the fleet enough to stop the invasion. The Goa'uld at the base we could fight using the weapons we have gained from them here, and any others Hollys planet has in their own resources. However even if we beat them ,as no-one has the technology or firepower to go up and fight the damned ships which are causing Earth all this trouble, then I can see no end to it at all." Jack O'Neill commented his military mind working overtime.
"If there was just some way we could organize a fleet, one who already knew their ways, one who possessed the kind of technology we need to fight those ships and take those bastards down, then maybe we could scare them off. But as Earth doesn't possess the kind of technology or ships to fight threats such as the Goa'uld even if we could find the right people to go up in them, the way I see it is we're totally stumped." Daniel Jackson agreed.
"Maybe not..." Samantha Carter answered leaving the table.
"Major..." O'Neill replied seeing she had an idea.
"We..the other earth doesn't have the kind of technology to fight the Goa'uld right, but we know a race who does, a race who know the Goa'uld very well." she answered running out of the room.
"You go girl." O'Neill teased, as they got up ready to follow her wondering what was going through her mind.
