"Legacy"
Ch. 2
(Control Room)
"It's from a race called the Goa'uld," Nicole said.
"Do you know what it says?" T'Pol asked.
Dr. Allison shook her head.
"I never learned to read Goa'uld. I only recognize it. But, Evelyn can read it," she said.
"Lt. Evelyn Jackson?" Archer said.
"How would she know this language?" Hoshi asked.
"She and Lt. Jonathan Jackson are my children. And Evelyn was once a Goa'uld host to Sekhmet," Nicole explained. "She'll tell you what all of this means."
"Very well. Hoshi, I want you and Lt. Evelyn to get started on the translations," Archer ordered. 'T'Pol, I'd like you to scan the surface of the planet some more. I don't want to miss anything important. I'd like everyone to meet me in the Ready Room in 2 hours, Find out what you can."
"Yes, Captain," Hoshi and T'Pol said and left.
"Doctor, come with me to my Mess, please. I think you and I need to talk. We might as well have dinner too," Archer said to Nicole.
She nodded and followed the captain to his Mess.
(Captain's Mess)
"So, when were you planning on telling me that Lt.'s Evelyn and Jonathan Jackson were your son and daughter?" Archer asked.
"Actually, never," Dr. Allison said. "I have a 'need to now' policy when it comes to my family and me, Captain"
"Not anymore. I need to know if I can trust you. I can't do that unless you're willing to tell me everything. And you'll come to learn that I don't like surprises, Doctor," he said. "So, I want you to tell me everything."
"Well, there's nothing much I could tell you. As time goes on, the less I remember about things that happened over 150 years ago. And the things I do remember are classified information," She paused. "But, I have something that might help. Have the senior officers meet me in Sick Bay as soon as they can."
Nicole got up and left hurriedly to her quarters. After that brief stop she headed for Sick Bay.
(Sick Bay)
Captain Archer, Dr. Phlox, Commander Tucker, Lt. Reed, and Ensign Mayweather stood around the Sick Bay, waiting and talking while they waited for Nicole to arrive. T'Pol and Hoshi were working on finding out what the planet below them was all about. Nicole entered the room and joined the senior officers, who looked at her once she entered.
"What's that?" Travis asked, noticing the small disk-like piece of technology.
She held it up to show the others.
"It's called a Tok'ra Memory Device. It helps recall certain memories. Since the good captain wants to know everything I know about my world before Starfleet even existed. The problem is I can't seem to remember the important things. So, I'm gonna use this to help," Dr. Allison explained.
