Daniel Jackson

He awoke suddenly from a dreamless sleep. He didn't feel cold anymore but something had changed. The room was now bright and he wasn't alone. A couple of feet above him hovered the beings from before. They were blue which he took as a good sign. But he was far from comefortable being in the same room with them. He remembered all too well the pain they had cost him and wasn't kean on experiencing that again. His eyes searched the room for a possible escape but without his glasses he couldn't see clearly enough. He debated with himself about wheater or not to try and talk to them again and decided to give it a go. He walked a couple of steps away so he was nolonger beneath them and felt a little more safe.

"Ehh...hello again". He gave them a nervous smile. "Where am i?"

The same being as before floated forward and looked very seriously at him. Then he nodded to the others who nodded back and dissapeared. The blue alien decended to the ground where he took a solid form. He then took a step towards Daniel who took a quick step back. The alien observed him with a kind a curious interest and then sat on the metal table.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you again. Come and sit". He laid his hands on the table.

"I think i'd rather stand". Daniel didn't trust him one bit.

"I understand your reluctance human. I regret what happened to you. It was a mistake but we had no choice."

"Well...that just makes everything alright then, does it? You tortored me, you kidnapped me. You made a mistake. No big deal!"

"You are angry."

"A little aggrevated yes..."

"I understand. Then you are not interested in what i have to say to you?"

"I didn't say that".

"Good. I have a propesition for you human. You can soon be free". He turned and pointed to a door that opened and he could see the outside. The stargate. Freedom.

He started to walk towards the door when he was stopped by the aliens last words.

"If..."

Daniel closed his eyes and lifted his arms in the air. He then turned around and let them fall heavely down to his sides.

"Yeah...i didn't think it was gonna be that easy...there is always an "if". What is it?"

"Nothing you can't handle human. Well...i think you can do it. The others have doubts..."

"Can you not call me human please. It makes me feel like a...ehhh...thing to you. My name is Daniel Jackson".

The alien smiled.

"You have some nerve...Daniel Jackson...for a lower species. It just makes me more confident in your abilities."

"Lower species...great...that helped a lot. Look...i'm not doing anything before i get a name and an explanation."

The alien laughed.

"Such spirit...such confidence...you are an interesting being Daniel Jackson. My name is Paddon".

Daniel rolled his eyes.

"I'm happy you find me so fascinating Paddon", he said in a sarcastic tone. "Now, why am i here? Tell me now or i will not talk to you anymore"

The alien stood up and observed him a little. His colour turned a light orange.

"I have decided to humour you a little bit Daniel Jackson. But do not make the mistake in believing you are so important to me that you can't be replaced! I assure you that you can." Paddon pushed him against the wall with one arm and Daniel was unable to hold him back but tried anyway. "Give it up Daniel Jackson...your strenght does not compare to mine".

"People of the Tau'ri does not give up. Learn the name! You will soon realize you have made a bigger mistanke than you thought!" Daniel yelled. Paddon removed a chip from his neck and let him go. Daniel ran to the other side of the room and made sure the table was between him and Paddon.

"What did you just take out of me?"

"Don't worry yourself. I simply saved you life. The chip would have killed you." He threw the chip up in the air and on the way down it exploded. "Lets just say you started out as a timed experiment."

Daniel looked in shock at the pieces of the chip on the white floor. Then Paddon continued.

"Tau'ri...the first world...you are from Earth...then it is as i expected after the first examinations shoved you were not goa'uld."

"You know my homeworld?"

"Yes Daniel Jackson. We always suspected that the blue planet had been freed. But we never knew for sure."

"Now you know. We can be allies against the goa'uld. We could help eachother. Exchange knowledge and tecknology..."

"Why should we be allies with a inferior race? You have nothing to offer."

"Look...i'm sure we have something you want..."

"And after all we have done to you they are just gonna forgive us?"

"Yes...Paddon...we have come a long way since the goa'uld. We want allies in the fight againt them. Allies like youself".

Paddon laughed.

"You are certainly persistant Daniel Jackson. Almost make me sad you'll probably die...almost".

"Die? Does this has something to do with the experiment?"

"Yes...well...i should probably tell you that none of your friends made it through."

"My friends?"

"Yes...Jack, Samantha and i believe the Jaffa is named Teal'c."

"They were here? Where are they? What have you done to them? Tell me!"

Paddon took back his ghostly form and just before he dissappeared he turned to Daniel.

"Don't concern yourself. You'll find out soon enough. Now sleep...you will need your strength." Then he was gone.

"NO! I demand to know what has happened to my friends! PADDON!".

He sat on the table as the light went out and left him in a creepy darkness.

"DAMMIT!" He kicked the table. Now he could only wait.

In Kelnoreem

"Carter? T? You okay?"

"I am alright O'niell. This is not uncommon to me."

"Yes Sir. I think so. Teal'c...where are we?"

"On the floor of O'niells recidence Captain Carter."

"I know that...i meant...where in kelnoreem are we?"

"Yeah...i would like to know that too T."

"I do not recognize this place O'niell..."

"Not much of a tour guide in you huh T..."

"Tour guide?" Teal'c raised the eyebrow.

"Yeah...its...nevermind...lets see what we got here shall we..."

They began investigating their surroundings. The place was bathed in a gloomy light with only a small clearing a bit away breaking the pattern. They moved towards it. As they came closer to the clearing the surroundings began to stand out. White walls, white floor and sealing. They all recognized it.

"Carter..."

"I know Sir..."

"This is the room on the planet O'niell..."

"Yeah...i thought it looked familiar...why are we here? Anyone?".

"Don't know Sir."

"It is likely that we have entered anothers kelnoreem O'niell...i this case the one of Daniel Jackson...when i served as first prime of Apophis, my master Bra'tac told me stories of such a possibility...it is very rare and extremely warned against."

"Why Teal'c?"

"Many Jaffa have died during this form of kelnoreem. It is not known why...the ones who have survived did not live long enough to talk about it".

"Sweet...ehh T...just to be sure...you do know the way out of here right?"

"No".

"Good...wait...WHAT!"

"The way out will reveal itself only when our minds have been enlighted".

"Why did you not tell us this before Teal'c?"

"You did not inguire Captain Carter".

"Wait...let me get this strait...we can't leave before we have learned whatever it is we have to learn?"

"Indeed O'niell".

"And how long will that take T?"

"I do not know O'niell...only our unconsionce minds will know when we are ready."

"Well...mine is ready now...Carter...what about yours...?"

"I don't think i works that way Sir".

" Captain Carter is correct."

"For cryin out loud...". Jack did not look happy.

"Sir...what's that?" Sam pointed in the direction of the clearing. They could see a table with a human figure lying on it. The person wasn't moving.

"Daniel?" Sam called out.

Then the person moved but it was not Daniel.

"Ohh my god...Sir...what do we do?"
