After a long time staring at each other, sharing small talk and eventually
pulling a dusty scrabble board from a cupboard Sg1 were still no where near
in knowing what their fate was to be.
"Hey that aint a word" exclaimed Sam and Jack together.
The worst thing about playing scrabble with Tealc and Daniel was the fact they knew other languages and never stuck to the rules of 'english only'.
"Indeed it is" replied Tealc, earning a nod from Daniel who was eyeing the board and his letters.
"Ok if thats a word, what does it mean?" said Jack, looking at the both of them.
"You really dont want to know Jack" replied Daniel who was already placing letters onto the board.
"Yeah I do" said Jack, "And what the hell does that mean?"
Jack pointed at the word Daniel had lain down before looking exasperated at Sam. Tealc grinned and raised and eyebrow to Daniel.
"This is so not fair guys" piped up Sam who frowned at her own game pieces.
"If you out that one, that one and that one down under the 'L' you'll be on the same level" added the voice helpfully from above, making the counters float gracefully in front of Sam. Grinning cheekliy Sam laid the counters on the board.
"I thought I'd told you to bugger off" said Daniel grumpily as Sam score practically doubled. Sam giggled and smiled smugly. Jack didn't even ask, defeated he stared at his letters.
"Got any help for me" he asked, the others assumed, to the ceiling.
"Sorry pal can't help there" came the reply.
Jack sighed and frowned, ascension certainly didn't give you all knowledge of the universe.
"Here Sir" said Sam, leaning over and arranging some of the letters, and pointing to an 'M' on the board.
"Ah yes, thankyou Carter"
"No problem Sir"
Jack placed his letters on the board and Daniel and Tealc both leaned forward to take a look at the word.
"Cheat" muttered Tealc before sitting back and taking a gulp of coffee.
"Now now Tealc no hard feelings buddy. You and Daniel using foreign words, me and Carter help each other out."
"I hope you are all well" asked a voice from behind the huddled group. Turning heads they glanced at Oma standing in the kitchen area.
"Ya sure you betcha, wanna join us in a game of scrabble. Me and Carter are kicking ass" said Jack, sitting back in his chair and putting his hands behind his head.
"It is time to leave" replied Oma
"Already, I was just starting to enjoy myself" said Tealc rising. Jack and Sam stood also.
"We are going back?" asked Sam, approaching Oma slowly. "You can send us back?"
"It was not your time" answered the voice from above
"So what we are just descended, how the hell are we going to explain that?" said Jack, looking to te celiling, to Oma and then to Daniel.
"They will send you back to the point you were taken" replied Daniel.
"And that was when?" asked Jack
"You were about to go through the gate. Anubis was about to use the weapon on the planet. You are an important part in the future of fighting the gould we could not afford to lose you. Daniel can be somewhat persuasive, agaisnt my better judgment I ascended you with the Abydonians. All would have been well and still shall be" replied Oma, turning from physical form into a mass of light.
"What if we do not wish to return?" asked Tealc, folding his arms and bracing himselfinto a stance which any normal human being would take as 'dont even think about coming near me unless you wish to be hurt' talk.
"You have no choice" said Oma and pinched him with a tendril of light making him turn into a mass of light also. "It is your destiny, for now" she added
"What about Daniel" asked Sam as she too was turned into a floating ball.
"He has some decsions to make" replied the voice once more
"Descisions" said Jack trying but failing to evade the tndril of light coming towards him, and suddenly feeling weightless.
"As do the council" said the voice sounding distant and muffled.
The cabin dissappeared and space surrounded once more, floating into an endless distance silently and suddenly they were on Abydos again, Skaara and Kasuf approaching them. Daniel stood by them.
"Well Skaara" said Jack, resigned to the fact he was returning to his former life. "I guess I wont be able to attend your wedding."
"Do not worry O'Neill, you all will be here on that day" replied Skaara raising a hand to his heart before embracing each of his friends in turn.
"It is time" said Oma, turning to them, mass of light once more.
"Hey give us a chance to say goodbye" said Jack, even as the words left his mouth the people and surroundings were dissapearing
In a moment the three felt lethargic and images and sounds distant.
"What about Daniel" he heard Sam ask into nothingness "Will we remember?" words spun around them, meaningless, spinning.
Questions shivered through the three as they stepped onto the ramp. Anubis. Daniel, Abydos. What, who had survived?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
