Thank you once again for all the nice reviews... makes my day...just like Stargate being on three nights in a row, bless you TV.

Sam looked around as men and women, in similar clothes to her own SG uniforms began to move around her. It looked like the SGC, the concrete walls, the yellow marker lines of the floor, but something was off.
"Where are we?" Sam asked Kariella.
"You don't recognise it?" She asked Sam.
"It looks just like the SGC, but different. These were blue, and we never had those." Sam said pointing to various controls and objects.
"Well it's been a while since you were here last." Kariella told her.
"What year is it?" Sam asked.
"2031" Kariella told her calmly.
"What!" Sam yelled. Sure enough, as she looked around it became clear she was in fact in the future. The computers she could see as she and Kariella walked the halls were like nothing she could imagine, the clothes they were wearing also looked advanced.
"What's going on?" Sam asked as they entered the control room, which looked like the kind of control post Sam dreamed about having at the SGC in her time.
"One of the off world colonies earth established has been hit. They are trying to organize a coordinated attack with three of the closest colonies to try and save it."
"Off world colonies? We actually did that?" Sam asked.
"In this scenario, yes. 42 of them in fact. They are used to produce machinery, weapons, high energy consumption items, Toyota even use one to manufacture the engines of the latest...I guess you could call them Hover-Cars." Kariella said with a smile.
"How is that? I take it the Stargate became public knowledge?"
"In 2008. It was not a smooth transition let me tell you." Kariella said.
"What happened to SG 1? My friends?" Sam asked.
"Daniel is a professor at Oxford, but thinking of retiring, he and Sarah moved back there a year after the people were told. Teal'c joined Ishta in leading the rebel Jaffa and have done wondrous things for their cause." Kariella said.
"What about General O'Neill?" Sam asked quietly.
"He did not take it too well. He moved up to his cabin and broke of contact with the world. You all tried to get through, but he just saw it was time to move on. He passed away a year ago, pneumonia." Kariella replied unable to keep the sadness out of her voice.
Sam tried to take it all in, but she told herself that this was not real and things did not have to turn out that way. She was able to drag her attention back to what was happening in front of her. She was watching a technician work when she heard her own voice speaking. She turned to a video monitor and was stunned to see her own face. But it was not a face that had aged 27 years. She looked maybe five years older than she did at the present time.
"My god!" Sam said as she watched herself send through a status report. She looked on openmouthed as she outlined the positions of teams and incoming assaults. She listened intently but felt her knees go weak as she saw her head bow and her eyes glow as she looked into the camera again.
"General Carter is correct the forces on the west..." Sam did not hear anymore after that. She could not understand what was happening. Jack was gone, Sam had not aged, she could not even begin to form the questions she had.
"You look confused Samantha." Kariella said.
"You could say that. What the hell is going on?" Sam asked.
"Allow me to explain. The Tok'Ra realised soon enough that they were better of with you than without you. A yeah before the program was made public, they asked for the SGC to aide them in a mission to bring down a powerful Goa'uld who was on his rise to dominant power. You were the ranking officer on the mission. All was going well until one of the Tok'Ra revealed himself as a minor Goa'uld who was sent to foil the plan. There was a large firefight, you were shot and a nearby Tok'Ra who's host was dieing did the only thing he could think of." Kariella told her. Sam paled at the explanation.
"I don't believe it." Sam said.
"You were very upset to begin with. General O'Neill even more so. It was a few weeks later, when a new host became available that you told Jack and the rest of the team you wanted to go with your dad, you wanted to stay blended with Kya, the symbiote."
"I find that very hard to believe. I would never give up the SGC." Sam said defensively.
"I can't say anything about that. But I can tell you that we have more to see." Kariella waved her hand Sam instinctively fell to the ground as they landed in the middle of a battle, staff blasts and energy weapons firing from every direction. Sam stood up and brushed her self off reflexively.
"Sorry, habit." Sam said. "Is this the same battle we saw on the screens?" Sam asked.
"Yes, so tragic, so many lives lost." Kariella said in a soft voice.
They two moved around and watched as both Jaffa, human and Tok'Ra went down in the crossfire. Sam saw herself running, firing a zat and using a ribbon device. Sam watched as her second self rounded a corner only to come face to face with a Jaffa. Too slow to raise either hand, Sam's body crumpled as the shot form the staff ripped through her. Sam looked on helplessly as her own body began to die in front of her. Another person ran to her side, Kariella and Sam moved in closer to hear what they were saying.
"Kya, you must hide, we can heal you shortly." The person said.
"There is no time." The gravelly voice replied.
"Don't talk like that, you will be fine." The other person insisted
"No it's time. She is here." Sam heard herself say.
The person with her was about to say something once more when Sam's body began to softly glow. Everyone stepped back as the light grew in intensity until they were forced to shield their eyes. The clothes she had been wearing seemed to vanish and all that Sam could see of herself was a shimmering image of her face engulfed in the white light.
The now incorporeal Sam moved swiftly over the large area causing Jaffa to disappear as she went.
"Did I just do what I think I did?" Sam asked Kariella.
"If you think you ascended and kicked some Jaffa ass then yes you did." Kariella said with a grin.
"And they say I hang around Jack too much." Sam muttered. "So this is one other possibility?" Sam asked.
"Yes. But I think we have seen enough." Kariella said waving her hand.
