"So let me get this straight," General Hammond asked sitting back in his chair," This device, which held all this information, was a voice, which basically said that God existed? That just doesn't sound possible to me."
"Quite a shock wouldn't you say, sir?" Colonel O'Neill stated.
Jonas leaned forward," It didn't come right out and say God existed sir, it seemed to indicate it, but it didn't actually state it."
"But it did validate the Bible?" General Hammond asked.
"Well, sort of, sir," Sam fiddled with her hands," Jonas, and I have been talking and it did mention the Bible and obviously it quoted a scripture verse. But maybe it was just pointing us in a direction, a path that could lead us to a greater understanding."
"Which again I must say Major would be the Bible."
Sam seemed to struggle to find a comeback. Jonas took over," Sir, from what I've read in some earth books the Bible has made scientific comments about things that weren't realized until modern times. Maybe the Ancients were telling us that there are things within the Bible that could advance us or help guide us."
General Hammond stared at him doubtfully, "Do you really believe that, Mr. Quinn?"
Jonas sat back in his chair and gave a sigh," In all honesty sir, as far as this is concerned I have no idea what I believe."
"What of the tape recording that you made Jonas Quinn? Perhaps we missed something in it that we could hear again." Teal'c suggested.
"You made a recording?" General Hammond asked.
"Yes sir, I thought it would be good to use as a reference," Jonas suddenly seemed uncomfortable.
"Well, what are you waiting for, let's hear it." Colonel O'Neill stated.
Jonas shifted in his chair," There's a slight problem with that, sir."
"What kind of problem?" General Hammond asked irritation in his voice.
"It didn't record."
" You mean it malfunctioned." General Hammond said.
"No sir, that's what's more confusing. I forgot to shut it off and, it recorded our conversation after we left and headed back to the gate but nothing the device actually said."
"Perhaps you were to far from the device in order for it to record properly." Teal'c suggested.
"That's what I thought to, but you can hear the humming of the device and the four of us breathing. It would have picked it up, for some reason it wasn't or couldn't be recorded."
"Could it have been another of the Ancients security measures?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
"That is a possibility they could have had some sort of subtle energy wave that could have caused it to not record." Sam suggested.
Jonas shook his head," Yeah, but Sam if that were true then it wouldn't have recorded at all, and the tape played for the entire lapse of time that the device was speaking, you can hear the humming of the device as I said. It just didn't record what it was saying for some odd reason."
"We could go back and try it again, sir," Sam suggested.
General Hammond shook his hand," I'm going to say no to that, Major. Somehow I think you got the information you were supposed to get. The mission is officially over, you all did good work, it's just an answer we were not expecting. Dismissed."
