While Daniel was weighting the fact that he had a child, Jesse and Riley came into the Command Center and Riley's face dropped the moment he saw Daniel. "Dad?" he asked, as he took a step towards him. "No, that's impossible."

"Oh, yes it is," Jesse said, as she looked at them. "Not everything is what it seems here." She then indicated to O'Neill and Carter. "Our parents are alive as well, and so is Cassie's mom."

"Really?" Riley's eyes sought out Ethan, and a smile crossed his face. "Hey, Eth, how you doing?"

"Not so good," Ethan said, as he came over to him. "Cassie's mom says I am dying. I need that orange serum that they made us eat at the slave camp. You don't have any on you? Do you?"

"No, but I do know where I can get some more."

"Where?" Carter asked, as she turned in her chair to face him. "We haven't been able to replicate it."

"Yeah, it can't be replicated. It has to be harvested."

"Harvested from what?"

"Slaves, mostly asgard, some human."

"The Asgard are slaves?" Daniel asked, as he moved closer to Riley. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, short grey dudes. Intelligent beings who fought against those nasty replicator bugs."

"Yeah, those are the ones," Jack said, as he leaned against the stairs. "What about them? Why are they slaves?"

"The Goa'uld enslaved them the moment they lost their war with the replicators. They were simply to weak to fight them off. Many died. There are not but a few left." Riley then spotted Teal'c and stepped away from them all. "What is he doing here?"

"He's a good guy here," Ethan pointed out, as he stood in front of Riley. "He's not Apophis' first prime. He was once but he turned good to help them fight against the Goa'uld."

"Where is your god?"

"Apophis is dead," Teal'c answered him without a touch of emotion.

"Oh, really?" Riley crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him. "Then he wasn't dead when he gave me this scar. He tried to slice my face off."

"What? You fought against Apophis hand to hand?" Jesse asked him, as she turned to face him. "You know the rules. You can't do that?"

"Well, I did it to save, Cassie's life."

"Cassie? Where is she?" Ethan asked, as he began to look down into the gate room. "She didn't come with you?"

"No, it wasn't safe for her to come. So she's on a safe planet. One that they can't find her for the time being."

"Why is Cassie so important?" Janet asked, as she came up to them.

"Because she is our leader," Jesse said, as she leaned back against the wall. "She's the one who saved us from becoming slaves to the Goa'uld. She and that superior being, Thor."

"You know of Thor?" Jack asked her, as he sat down beside Carter. "How's he doing?"

"He was a prisoner of Apophis."

"What do you mean, was?"

"Apophis had him executed along with the original members of SG-1."

"We were executed?"

"Yeah, to tell everyone that they meant business. That was over eight years ago. Ethan was barely eight months old. We were lucky to escape. They would have killed us for sure if Cassie and Thor hadn't shown up. Who knows how those two hooked up?"

"I don't want to know," Jesse said, as she got to her feet and began to pace, only to stop in mid step and turn to face Riley. "How did you know where and when to find us?"

"I have my ways," he answered, as he got to his feet, and shot a glance over at Ethan. "But that's not what you should be worried about." Jesse turned to see that Ethan's face was white and he was shaking. "I would be worried about him."

"Ethan?" Jesse called out, as she blurred to his side and caught him the moment he fell. "What the hell is wrong? Why is he getting worse? The serum isn't working."

"Let's get him back to the infirmary," Janet said, as she rushed over to their side. "I can do more tests on him there."

So Janet, Jesse, Ethan, and Riley headed for the infirmary, leaving Sg-1 in shock. "Okay, what do we do now?" Daniel asked, as soon as they left. "We can't let that kid die."

"I know, Daniel," Jack said as he got to his feet and began to pace. "But I have no idea how to save him."

"I'm gonna do some more tests on that serum, sir," Carter said, before she took off.

"Okay, Teal'c you help me out, since I don't think they want to see you. Daniel, go talk to your son."

"Talk to him about what?" Daniel asked him, as they headed for the hallway.

"Anything that could help us understand what they've been through."

"Like what?"

"Like a war," a voice called out and they looked up to see Riley standing in the hall. "What it's like to be slaves? To be afraid to live your life freely because you could loose it. What questions do you have for me, father?"

"A lot."
