Chapter 20

Kawalsky, Jonas, Andrea and Grogan wait in a restricted area wearing special military badges giving them access to the passenger's only area of the airport. Kawalsky and Grogan wear military uniforms, Jonas and Andrea are dressed casually.

"Major Kawalsky, the flight you're waiting on has arrived early they will be disembarking soon." A man says from behind the counter.

"Thanks. Is he going to freak out when he comes out?" Kawalsky stands up.

Andrea looks at Kawalsky shaking her head. "Yes, wouldn't you if the military greeted you when you arrived from out of country."

"Yes." Grogan answers the Major's question.

"I would say that the four of us are intimidating. At least we didn't bring Teal'c." Jonas whispers.

"He's right." Andrea says moving in front of the door that the attendant opened.

"They've asked him to be the last, as you requested." The man says.

"He'll be ok." Andrea says watching the people walk off the plane staring at them.

"What about the people staring at us?" Grogan says noticing some of them look ready to panic.

Kawalsky looks at Grogan. "Oh, let them think what they want. General Hammond already contacted the press. The story is we're picking up an informant."

"Really," Andrea says as the last of the passenger go by. "The reporters must be eating this up."

"Andrea Milton!" A man in jeans and a t-shirt yells storming out into the waiting area. "What the hell is going on?"

"A lot Bob just come with us ok." Andrea says taking his arm.

"By the way, she's married now." Kawalsky says snidely.

"Really, to who?" Robert asks as they walk out of the airport to a waiting car.

Andrea glares at Kawalsky. "I married Daniel Jackson."

Robert stops and stares at Andrea. "God, Andrea why would you do that?"

Andrea sighs. "You'll see. Jonas wave to the reporter please."


"What the hell is going on?" Robert demands of them for the eleventh time, as the go past security at the base.

"Calm down Dr. Caldwell we'll explain in a minute." Jonas says to him again, since Andrea gave up and is ignoring him.

Kawalsky stops and turns around. "We should have tranquillized him."

"I'll remember that." Andrea says then stops gripping the wall. "Major, take him on ahead."

Kawalsky looks at her concerned and steps toward her. "Another vision?"

"Yes, Grogan go with him please." Andi hangs on to the wall for support. Grogan nods.

Jonas looks at the Major then to Andrea. "I'll stay with her."

Kawalsky nods making it an order. "Should I tell Daniel?"

"No, I'll be there in a minute." Andrea says half smiling forcefully.

"Sure." Kawalsky and Grogan escort Dr. Caldwell to the briefing room.

"Is she going to ok?" Robert asks Kawalsky and Grogan.

Kawalsky leads the man down the hall. "Yeah, it maybe a while, but she comes out with in 24 hours."

"What you mean?" Robert stops again stunned.

"Dr. AJ, that's what we call her now, she gets flashes. Some times the flashes knock her out." Grogan says.

Kawalsky looks at the man who keeps stopping. "Come on, you wanted to know what is going on don't you?"

"Yes." Robert starts walking again.


Jonas stays with Andrea and waits silently for a few minutes noticing she doesn't look any better. "Andrea are you going to be alright?"

"Yes, it's not too bad." Andrea say

"Should, I go get Dr. Fraiser?" Jonas asks trying to help her.

"No, I'll go later." Andrea stands up. "I'm alright now."

Jonas looks at her not completely believing her. "You're sure?"

"Yes, Jonas." Andrea and Jonas continue walking.


General Hammond greets Dr. Caldwell, when he, Kawalsky and Grogan enter the room. "Dr. Caldwell, you probably have lots of questions come in and sit."

"Can I get you anything Doctor?" Sam says smiling in front of her seat.

O'Neill next to Carter looks at the man in a t-shirt and Jeans. "This is the man who caused the all this ruckus huh?"

"Ruckus?" Teal'c tilts his head.

O'Neill looks at Teal'c. "It's an expression."

"I want some answers. Why not start with, Is Andrea going to be alright?"

Daniel looks at Robert. "She'll be fine it just takes her a while." Daniel figures Andrea was having a vision.

Jonas and Andrea walk into the room "Is this your brief case Robert?" Jonas carries a brief case.

"Yes, why?" Caldwell looks at the brief case Jonas is holding. Jonas hands it to Robert.

"Get out the pictures you took Robert. Look at them really good. When you've done that get up and look through the glass." Andrea looks at General Hammond. "Can you open the blast doors sir?"

Robert sets the brief case onto the table. Hammond holding a remote opens the blast doors capturing Robert's attention. "This is really strange?" Dr. Caldwell walks over and looks at the gate on the other side of the glass. "Holy mother of God." He says gripping the wall.

"He's taking it rather well, don't you think Carter?" O'Neill says.

Robert turns around and looks at everyone, point at the gate. "Is that, what I found?"

"Not the same one, it is one of the three that we now know were placed on Earth." Daniel says looking at him.

Hammond steps forward. "What we say Doctor is classified. Do you understand?" General Hammond says to him.

Robert still in shock looks at Hammond. "Yes, of course I understand."

Andrea walks over and stands next to Daniel. "Then Robert you should sit down. You're not going to like what we have to say." Andrea says looking at Daniel.


Daniel finishes his speech on the gate and Robert stares at Andrea still finding it all hard to believe. "So you're telling me, his theories we right?"

"Yup, I was puzzled when I found out." Andrea says.

"How did you find out?" Robert looks at her asking even more questions. "And where have you been the last 6 years?"

Andrea sighs, and looks at Daniel who gives her a supporting expression. "I fell in love with a goa'uld. I've been on the other side of universe."

"Are you serious?" Robert looks her in shock.

O'Neill looks at Andrea. "Ok, I wouldn't call it love, more like desperation." Andrea just nods.

"We know this is a lot to take in. But look at it this way, now you can spend your days saving the world." Carter says.

Robert turns to Daniel. "And that's what you do?"

Jack smiles then. "Yup, just about every day of the week. Never get any real time off do we?"

"No O'Neill, I believe we do not." Teal'c answers.

"You would know, T." O'Neill smiles.

Pointing to Andrea, who still looks pale, O'Neill asks "You okay, you look like you got hit with a zat?"

Daniel nods. "He's right."

Andrea looks at Daniel and sighs. "I wish it had been a zat!"

"That bad, a zat hurts badly enough." Kawalsky says looking at her.

Jonas looks concerned as well. "You should go see the Dr. Fraiser."

"I will Jonas," Looks at Robert's face, "as soon as I'm finished here."

"So I would do what you guys do?" Robert questions Hammond.

"That's a Possibility or you would work here studying objects brought back." Carter says showing him some papers.

"And if I refuse." Caldwell asks

"I shoot you." O'Neill says.

"You will." Robert looks at Andrea nervously.

"He won't shoot you Dr. Caldwell." Daniel says grinning.

"I need some time to take all this in." Robert says looking again at General Hammond.

"Of course an airman will escort you to a room. You can't leave until we settle the classified stuff." O'Neill waves to Lt. Grogan outside the door.

"Would you come with me sir?" Grogan escorts Dr. Caldwell out of the room.

"Excuse me." Andrea says and runs from the room.

"Andrea!" Daniel chases her all the way to the women's restroom and stops.


Daniel hovers over Andrea who is lying in an Infirmary bed. Andrea opens her eyes looks at Daniel then closes them again. "Daniel, go away. It's a migraine from the vision. The doc gave me something for the pain and other symptoms, but need to rest. Okay?"

Daniel nods reluctantly. "I just want to make sure your okay."

"She's fine Daniel. Now go away." Dr. Fraiser says walking by.

"Thank you." Andrea pulls the pillow over her head.


"General?" Andrea says walking into his office looking refreshed.

"Come in Major Davis and I were discussing the new gate." Leaning forward in his chair.

"Nice to see that you're feeling better Dr. Milt...Jackson. So when you and Dr. Jackson are in the same room what do I call you?"

Andrea smiles. "I've been dubbed Dr. AJ."

"The airmen got sick of saying Dr. Jackson and having both of them answer so they said she had to have a different name now." The General says laughing.

"I wish I could have seen that." Major Davis turns to look at Andrea and smiles.

Andrea laughs from the memory. "It was quiet funny. What do you intend to do with gate sirs?"

"Seal it, I hope." Hammond doesn't want another NID problem.

"Why do you ask Doctor?" Major Davis studies Andrea with interest.

Andrea looks at both men with an honest expression. "Because I think it would be better served aboard the Prometheus."

Davis nods his head. "I agree with you. The problem is getting it to where the Prometheus is now."

Andrea nods and thinks for a moment. "What if I called in a favor?"

"What are you suggesting Doctor?" Major Davis looks at her very excited at the prospect she's offering.

"I... we did a favor for Aegir. I also did some things for the Asgard before I came here. I'll see about moving the gate to the Prometheus." Andrea looks at Major Davis and smiles again.

"What if they refuse?" General Hammond says to her.

Andrea grins know how the Asgard feel about the Stargate Program. "I mention something about the NID getting a hold of it."

"What will that do?" Major Davis says skeptically.

"Force their hand." The General says.

Andrea looks at them seriously. "Not at all, they don't trust Senator Kinsey a bit; they would agree that the Prometheus is the safest place."

"I see how many favors to the Asgard owe you?" Davis wonders what the Earth can get from the Asgard if Andrea calls in an IOU.

"I don't know a few." Andrea lost count after her trips to several Asgard worlds for small things.

Davis turns to Andrea. "The gate is being secured and brought to the states as we speak."

"Okay, I'll go contact the Asgard." Andrea leaves heading for the control room.

Davis looks at Hammond. "I guess our problem is solved."

"We'll see." Hammond can only hope.


Andrea sits in the control room with a head set on next to Sgt. Davis. "Andrea, what is the problem?" Thor asks speaking over the radio.

"Nothing Thor, I want to ask a favor?" Andrea sighs.

"What is it?" Thor asks curious because Andrea rarely asks for anything.

"We'd like to move the gate we found here on earth to the Prometheus." Andrea smiles at the team going through the gate.

"Which gate?" Thor asks remembering that the Antarctic gate was destroyed when Anubis attacked Earth.

Andrea smiles, it's not often she knows something the Asgard don't. "A new one, it was just found."

"It can be done." Thor says agreeing to help.

"Thank you, we appreciated it." Andrea smiles when the communication dies.


SG-1 and Andrea stand in Major Carter's lab. "You're saying that the Asgard is really going to do this?" O'Neill says looking astonished.

"Yes, Colonel, I can't say when." Andrea says not knowing when Thor will be available to move the new gate.

Sam grins. "That's great, now will have a constant link with Prometheus."

"Yes, it is." Daniel agrees.

"So what was your vision about this morning?" O'Neill asks playing with one of the Major's tools.

Andrea looks at them. "It wasn't bad just scrambled."

"You can't tell us or it was more images that need to be but in order." Sam asks

"I was like a slide roll out of order to tell the truth." Andrea answers.

"Did anything stick out?" Daniel asks watching Andrea look uncomfortable.

"Besides it seemed like I was driving here." Andrea says to her husband.

"Driving here, like you were coming to work?" Sam looks at Andrea wondering what the vision was about.

Andrea's brow creases while she thinks for a moment. "Maybe I wish, I could have read the odometer that would have given me a clue as to when. I think that I'll be watching who follows me from now on."

"People follow you, Dr. Jackson?" Teal'c says sitting down next to her.

Andrea shakes her head looking at Teal'c. "Oh no, I just means I'll be watching for them."

O'Neill looks at Andrea. "Well if you do see some one, call me right away."

"I will, how is Robert doing?"

"Fine, I just spoke with him. He said he would join." Sam says looking down at her work, then says, "He seem mystified that Daniel was right."

Andrea rolls her eyes.

O'Neill says putting down the object he was playing with. "I take it he's one of the ones who thought Daniel had lost his mind?"

Andrea lets out a frustrated sigh. "Yes, before Daniel disappeared it was 'Why do you like working with him?' and 'Has he proven anything yet?' all the time. I got sick of it and stopped returning his calls."

"Great, he's a pain. Just what I need." O'Neill says just as frustrated.

"Relax Jack; I think he'll be a little different now that his world has changed." Daniel can't help but grin with satisfaction.
