"Jaaaaaaack!" Jackie whined as Jack pulled a carton of milk out of the fridge and poured himself a glass, standing in his boxer shorts and a t- shirt. He had not jumped out of bed and taken her immediately to the SGC as she'd hoped, but instead had insisted on...well, being himself.
"What?" he demanded back, somewhat aggravated with his younger sister's abrupt interruption of his sleep.
"I have to go back to that planet!" she told him again, desperately trying to make him understand her need, "I have to get to the ship!" Jack swallowed his milk and set the glass down.
"We didn't find you on a ship" he said.
"I know that" Jackie was getting more frustrated, "The escape pod was jettisoned away from the ship when it crashed on the planet!"
"How did you know that?" Jack asked. She may be his sister, and he may have found her on an alien planet, but she was still a civilian without clearance and she hadn't been told all the details.
"Jaaaaaaack! We have to go NOW!"
"Why?" That stopped her. She thought about it.
"I don't know!" she answered finally, "I just know we have to go!"
"Jackie!"
"Jack!" The Colonel stared at his sister, thinking she was crazy, but knowing, in this universe, he should probably do what she said.
"Fine" he waved his hand toward the door, "Let's go"
The General was not so pleased at being woken in the middle of the night, but at least he was on the base, and not at home. He appeared in the briefing room completely dressed and ready to go. Carter and Daniel had, apparently, returned to the base to do some more work after they'd gone to dinner, and Teal'c, of course, was always there.
"What's so important, Colonel?" Hammond demanded as he took his seat.
"I have to go back to the planet. To the ship" Jackie told him quickly. Jack waved a hand at her wordlessly.
"What for?" Sam asked, concern lining her eyes.
"I...I don't know" Jackie admitted.
"Colonel, what is this?"
"General, look!" Jackie erupted before Jack could reply, "I know this sounds crazy, and believe me I don't exactly understand, I just know that I have to get to that ship before the Goa'uld!" Now she had peaked Hammond's interest.
"What does this have to do with the Goa'uld?" he asked. Jackie looked at Jack, and then Sam.
"I don't know" she replied again, "I do know that if I don't get there before them that it's bad. Very very bad."
"Colonel do you know anything about this?" Jack lifted his fingers and let them fall again.
"I'm sorry, Ms. O'Neill, I just don't have incentive enough to send an SG team out there for some unknown reason" Hammond answered. Jackie squeezed her eyes shut and rubbed at her temples.
"Kar'che ka'sa!" she shouted. There was a pregnant silence as everyone stared at her, especially Daniel. She looked up slowly, aware that she'd just done something more to cause everyone concern, including herself.
"I didn't mean to say that" she told them, "What did I say?"
"You don't know?" Daniel asked her.
"Well...I sort of do. I mean...I know what it means, but I don't think it has an English translation" she told him, confusion clouding her face, "Maybe, 'For cryin' out loud'?"
"Daniel?" Jack looked to his friend for some kind of explanation. He knew what it felt like to have an alien language stuck in your head, with no control over it.
"Uh, I don't know" He searched around for a remote to the screen. He pressed a couple of buttons and the image of the writing from the screen- panel on the escape pod appeared.
"Can you translate this?" he asked.
"Here is the Savior of the Worlds of Good. She shall be the Protector. Taken from the planet of the People Whom the Ancients favor. Blood of Warrior Blood, saved from death to serve, so was she, Jennifer O'Neill, chosen." She read it off quickly and precisely, leaving Daniel scribbling quickly on his notepad and the rest of those gathered gaping.
"How is it that you come to know this language?" Teal'c asked.
"That's a good question" the General said.
"I don't know" Jackie told them, "I just looked at it and knew what it said"
"Well, I mean, do you know the whole language?" Daniel inquired.
"I think so."
"Say something" Daniel was very excited. But then, that was the kind of thing he got excited about. He watched Jackie anxiously while she stared blankly at the table.
"I can't" she finally admitted, "I can't bring it to my conscious mind. When I look at that writing, I know what it says. But I can't...come up with it on my own, you know?"
"It seems that more than just general knowledge was put in your mind" Sam said, "Sir, under the circumstance, perhaps we should go back to that planet."
"I don't see why, Major" Hammond replied.
"Sir, the message said she was the 'Savior', the 'Protector'" Sam explained, "Couldn't it be that there is something on that ship that she needs to protect. I mean, why else would she have all of this knowledge. Able to read this language"
"That's true, sir" Jack added, half heartedly. He didn't like the sound of this "Savior" thing. Hammond looked back and forth between the members of the team that he most trusted on this base. He valued their judgment more than anyone else's.
"All right. You can go back to the planet, search for whatever it is Ms. O'Neill may supposed to be protecting" he said.
"Thank you" Jackie said with a stern, sincere look. Gone was the hysteria of her previous desperateness.
It was still the middle of the night. Daniel and Carter hadn't gotten any sleep as of yet, and Jack wasn't about to push them into a potentially dangerous situation with nearly 24 hours of wake time since their last sleep time. He ordered them to bed, at least for a few hours. He tried to order Jackie to bed too, but she wouldn't go. She just paced at the end of his bed while he slept.
