ch3: AH fukit!
Sg-1 sat in the mess hall, talking about their new visitor over lunch.
"So what do you rekon Danny?" Jack asked as he shoved a spoonful of jelly into his mouth. Dan looked up, surprised.
"You're asking me? She claims to know me and a lot about us. In a nutshell it's a bit weird," Daniel replied. Teal'c nooded.
"You are correct Daniel Jackson. It is an odd feeling to have someone know more about yourself than you know about them. If she is to remain on the base, then should we not befriend her?" Teal'c sugested.
"So that we can learn about her?" Carter asked. "But that'd mean she'd have to tell us about the future."
"Ah fukit!" Jack spat out. The others looked at him, surprised at the sudden burst of profanity. "Look Carter, you said it yourself that by here even being here she's going to change the future, so why cant we just say fuckit and let her tell us. It's inevitable. So personaly I think we should see how good a soldier she is and if she's good, we'll put her in a team and she can share whatever knowledge she has. She'll be a great addition to the team," Jack ate more jelly as the others sat dumbfounded.
"Is that what you told General Hammond just after we left his office?" Daniel asked. Jack nodded. "Just without the 'fukit' at the beginning."
* * * *
Nat sighed as she got up off the bed. She stretched her arms up in the air then got back onto the bed to keep reading. She'd figured that maybe what had happened to her would be in Daniel's journals.
August 23rd: Today was Sam's birthday. General Hammond agreed that we should take the day off. Jack organised a surprise party for Sam and left it to Teal'c and I to get her out of the lab. Jack had given up trying to get her out of that lab all those times we had days off. And he thought we'd have a better chance. Teal'c and I figured that maybe the reason why she never got out of the lab on days off is because she didn't want to go fishing with Jack. Teal'c tells us it is incredibly boring. Teal'c and I got Sam out of the lab by telling her we were going to take her to the movies for her birthday and that I would drive. She was extremely excited to see that we'd taken her to a hall with all her friends waiting there to surprise her. Jack had invited some of the Tolen, Thor, Sam's dad and Martouf. I think Jack was a little hurt that Martouf had to come. Jack just says it's because he doesn't trust the Tok'ra, but the rest of us know that he's just jealous. Jack would probably whack me over the side of the head if I ever told him that to his face. He cheered up though when Sam kissed him on the cheek when she found out it was he who organised the whole thing. She was even happier when she saw the new motorbike we got her for her birthday. All in all it was a great party.
*knock knock*
Nat closed the journal and sat up. "Come in," she called. The door opened and Daniel came inside, holding a tray of food.
"Thought I'd bring you some lunch," He smiled. Dan looked on the bed and saw the journals. "Are those my journals?" He asked as he st the tray on the bedside table. Nat nodded.
"When you.. er.. future you went to dial the alpha site, you gave me the bag and told me that two of you journals were in it. Even though you'd never let me read them, you said I could read them after we'd past through the gate. The base was under attack and I stepped through the gate, thinking you were going to be right behind me. Now looking back I figured you had a hidden secret that you didn't mind me knowing after we went to the alpha site," Nat explained. Dan looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Hidden secret? What hidden secret?" Daniel reached for the journal Nat was reading. "Then it probably wont hurt if I read my own journals," He said as he opened up the journal.
"What's the date today?" Nat asked. Daniel replied that it was November 30th.
"Then the journal is of things that have already happened in this time. Why would you give me a journal about things that have already happened before I got here?" She asked. Daniel shrugged.
"Maybe to give you a detailed overview about our personalities and about what each of our friendships are like?" Daniel suggested as he flicked through the pages. Daniel's paused flicking the pages and looked at Nat.
"What?" she asked. Daniel pulled a yellow folded note from the inside of the front cover. Nat saw a yellow folded note in his hand as he put the journal down, yelled out "Stay here. I.. er.. just got a brainstorm," and left the room.
"You're still an odd one Daniel," Nat said to herself. She went back to reading the journal.
* * * *
"So Carter, are you going to come fishing with myself and Teal'c on the weekend?" Jack pleaded. Teal'c stood on the other end of Carter's desk. He tried to read her notes on timetravel.
"Sorry sir, but I really want to stay here and work out if there's any way of getting the lieutenant home," Carter replied. She really didn't want to go fishing. Teal'c put down Carter's notes.
"Perhaps we should go see a movie instead," Teal'c suggested. Jack smiled. "I have seen on the TV a movie about ancient Egypt. I would very much like to see how the 'Tari portray your ancient Egypt." Teal'c requested. Carte laughed.
"Teal'c 'The Mummy Returns' is a sequel to the movie 'The Mummy'. It's a fictional movie about mummies and curses. It's not based on actual facts." Sam explained.
"I see," Teal'c replied. "Then may you supply me with the first movie so that I may watch it before going to see this sequel?"
Jack smiled. "Video nights! It's a date!" Jack squealed. Daniel ran into the lab, puffing like he'd just ran a marathon.
"Danny boy! We were just discusing having a video night on the weekend!" Jack exclaimed. Dan didn't smile. "What's wrong buddy?"
"I sent Nat here," Dan held up the note. "I knew she'd be sent here, to this time, to us. That's why I gave her the Journals! So she can learn more about us," Daniel explained.
"How could you possibly know that Daniel?" Carter asked. Jack took the note off Daniel and read it aloud.
"I know you're going to find this note before Natlalie does. Undoubtedly Carter has already said that Natalie's presence here is going to change the future.."
* * * *
Natalie flicked to the last paragraph of the last page of the first Journal Daniel gave her.
November 30th 2002: A young soldier named Lieutenant Natalie Manslow stepped through the gate today with an SG-5 iris code. As it turns out she is from the future. In the future the code we used for sg-5 is used for the future Sg-1. Apparently I (the future me) sent her here in an attempt to save her from the invading Gould. I found a note in the back of my journal that explains that I knew that when she entered the gate, she would travel back in time 29 years.
The page ran out, so Nat went to the second journal.
September 25th, 2023: I've been asked to tutor a very interesting student by the name of Natalie Manslow. After meeting her, I've concluded that she is as cheerful and smart as I remember her being when she first stepped through the gate more than 20 years ago. I had very much looked forward to meeting her again...
Natalie jumped off the bed and ran to the door. She opened it and saw the guard at her door. "I need to see Dr. Jackson and the others right now!"
* * * *
[back in Sam's lab]
Jack was stuck on a word in the note. "Dammit Daniel, I can never read your handwriting! What does this say?" Jack showed Danaiel the note.
"She," Daniel replied. Jack gave him a little glare.
"SHE will hopefully make a great contribution to the SGC. In this note I have written down a few stargate adresses that might help you guys a bit. Don't worry about you guys changing the future Jack. Trust me, you're going to want to see these planets. Daniel," Jack finished reading.
"Wow," Sam repled.
*knock knock* "Excuse me, but the lieutenant wats to have a word with you," the soldier that was guarding Nat's door said. Nat came storming into the room with the journal under her arm.. She walked upto Daniel and slapped him across the arm.
"OW! What was that for?!" Daniel cried. Nat looked furiously at him.
"You knew!! You knew I'd be sent to this time and all you gave me was a stupid journal! This whole time we were friends you knew the whole time who I was and that I'd be sent here! Our friendship was a lie!" Nat yelled. The guard was about to grab Nat but Jack stopped him.
"Okay kidos, that's enough," Jack said, pulling Nat away from Daniel. "Don't yell at Danny boy, he hasn't done anything.. yet. Now where did u find out that Daniel sent you here?" Jack asked. Natalie showed them the first page of the second journal that explains that Jack knew her before he even met her in the future.
"Well, this is interesting.." Jack mumbled, turning the pages in the journal. "What is?" Daniel asked. Jack held up the book and showed everyone a photo of Sam and Jack's wedding. "We don't look half bad there!" Jack commented as he winked at Sam.
"Oh my.." Sam said, surprised.
Teal'c took the journal from Jack's hands and closed it.
"Ah T! What was that for?!" Jack suealed.
"I don't think we should be reading about events that have not yet come to pass, O'Neill," Teal'c said. He handed the book back to Nat.
"So why does she get to read it then?" Jack asked as he watched the book being given back to Nat.
"Because she has already lived these events," Teal'c replied.
General Hammond's voice could be heard over the louspeaker. "Colonel O'Neil to the briefing room."
