Chapter 12: And You Are?

--------

When we last left Jack...

"If I may interrupt?" asked Thor who then waited for their nod of approval before continuing. "Something has developed at the Alpha Site..."

--------

Back on Thor's ship...

"O'neill it seems there are replicators at the Alpha Site." Thor replied.

-Wait a minute- thought Sam. "Thor can you verify his identity?"

But before Thor could reply Jack interrupted, "will somebody please tell me what's going on here?!"

"In a nutshell," Sam asked, Jack nodded. "Ok, replicators have invaded the alpha site, Jesslyn's returned, there's 2 of you, one of which happened to shoot me, and... I'm pregnant..." she said mumbling the last part.

"What was that last part again?" he asked.

"Uh... nothing, sir... absolutely nothing..." she said quickly.

He gave her a suspicious look but conceded. "Ok well forget about it for now we need to come up with a plan..."

---------

As they beam down to alpha site...

As they materialized on the edge of alpha site, they noticed more replicators coming that way. Jack rushed towards the weapons storage, while Sam ran towards what served as the command center to see if she could help come up with a solution to stop these things.

---------

Jack...

Jack, finally managing to get his hands on a shotgun, turned to leave the tent. But once he got outside he found himself face to face with... well... himself. –Well maybe there are two of me- thought Jack, as he stared down the barrel of a 12-gauge.

Mean while similar thoughts were going on in the head of the possessor of this shotgun, who found himself in an equally precarious position with a 20 gauge pointed at his gut. –Dammit, I thought I took care of him. Well its all blown to hell now, just have to see if I can make it out of here with Sam and myself in one piece.-

---------

Back to Carter who has just reached the 'control center' of camp...

"Where have you been?" asked Davis, as he moved to let her in.

"That would have to be the million dollar question today, major." She said wincing as she moved her left shoulder.

"What happened to you?" asked Jacob.

She sighed, "in a nutshell?" he nodded, "oh lets see, I was shot, abducted, and found out we have an imposter," –or twin- she thought, "all in the space of, oh, about 2-3 hours."

"Oh," was all he had to say in reply as they quickly got to work.

Several minutes later after what she said had finally sunk in...

"An imposter, who?" asked Davis.

"Jack or at least one of him... I think... though I'm not sure which yet." She said with some discomfort, as she disliked being unsure of anything.

"Theres more than one of him?" Jacob and Davis asked in unison.

"Most definitely." She replied

"Ok... I think I might have it... if we can set off a big enough energy surge to attract them. We should be able to create a concentrated enough pulse to disable them all, at least momentarily that is," she turned to Jacob, "what do you think?" proposed Sam.

"It's the best idea I've heard so far," he said getting nods from various anonymous peoples around the room, "ok then, lets give it a shot."
