Jesse and Riley were honored about the fact that General Hammond had given them their own team, and Ethan and Katie were happy that they were gonna be staying on Earth longer. It then came time to tell Jacob what was going on.
"They're your what?" Jacob asked Sam, as Riley and Jesse came into the conference room.
"Our kids," Carter began, as Jesse sat down in the empty seat next to her. "Our kids for an alternative future."
"Okay, what?
"We're from a future that they could have had," Jesse started, as she looked over to see that Riley had left the room. "In our time, every one of SG-1 was executed by Apophis when we were young."
"Apophis is still alive?"
"In our time, yes." Jesse then ran a hand through her hair. "Riley, Ethan, and I are advance humans. Somehow we got these bugs inside our bodies that make us stronger and faster than an average human."
"Okay, why are you here then?"
"Because our world was destroyed by both the Goa'uld and the replicators. They are at war with each other. After they are done, there isn't gonna be a world left for any of us to live on."
"What about the other races? Who's all left?"
"Well the Tollan are gone. The Nox have been destroyed. The remaining Asgard that are left are enslaved."
"The Tok'ra were the first to go," Riley said, as he came up to stand behind Jesse, with a small box. "The Goa'uld would gather them up and leave then for the replicators."
"Ri, what's in the box?" Jesse asked him, as he sat down next to her.
"Something I had saved to give to a Tok'ra if we had located them."
"Oh, what?" She opened the box to reveal what looked like a disk. "Is this what I think it is?"
"Yeah, it's a census disk."
"And why would I need that?" Jacob crossed his arms over his chest.
"Because it was your orders to give it to any Tok'ra that I would come across."
"You spoke to Selmak. Cool."
"He gave it to me right before he died, at the hand of Apophis."
"He was the last of the Tok'ra, too."
"Well that makes me feel better," Jacob said, as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"I wonder what this thing really is," Jesse mumbled as she took up the disk and began to fiddle with it. All of a sudden a bright light filled the room followed by a hologram of star systems. "Wow."
"Well that's interesting," Jack said, as they looked up at the hologram. "What is it?"
"It's the entire ancestory line on the Tok'ra," Jesse answered, as she climbed up onto the table and touched a symbol. It lit up and the scene changed to one that was more detailed. "It's also a census of all the Tok'ra as of this year. Why would they have one so old?"
"Because Selmak knew about how the devices worked and asked me if I ever got the chance to give this to a Tok'ra from the past," Riley said as he answered her question.
"So this is going to help us locate all the missing Tok'ra," Jacob said as he took up the disk only to have it shut off. "Thank you." He slowly got to his feet. "I should be returning to the base and show them this."
"You're welcome," Jesse pipped as she hopped down off the table.
"Oh, and one more thing, Jacob," Riley called out, just as he was about to reach the door and he turned to face him. "You shoot me again with a Zhat and you're going down."
"I'll keep that in mind," Jacob said, then he was gone.
"So now what?" Jesse said, as she turned to face SG-1.
"Jesse, you and I need to do some recon to see if there are any slave survivors and take them to a new planet," Riley said, as he sat down and face her. "General Hammond said that we could have our own world if we wanted to."
"Cool. So when do we go."
"First thing tomorrow, after we rest. It's gonna be a couple of days before we come back."
"Sounds good." She then took off leaving them alone.
"She won't be that happy when we get back," Riley said to the others, as he got to his feet and followed her.
"So let me get this straight, you guys are leaving to go home and I can't come," Ethan asked them, as they got ready for bed. "That totally sucks."
"We are gonna be moving pretty fast, Eth," Jesse began, as she climbed up onto her bunk. "We are just doing basic recon. It's pretty boring actually."
"So I get to stay here and do what?"
"You get to help Uncle Daniel figure out some stuff that was brought in from their last find."
"Okay." Ethan turned over and soon was sound asleep.
"What about me?" Katie asked Riley as he tucked her in. "Can I come?"
"No, you can't come," Riley said, as he sat down on the floor next to her bunk. "You get to stay with Cassie."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." He then shot a glance over at Ethan and lowered his voice. "And we need for you to keep an eye on Ethan. Make sure he stays out of trouble."
"I can do that. Night guys." Katie then curled into the blankets and she soon was asleep.
"Good night, little one." Riley got to his feet and looked up to see that Jesse was watching him. "It's going to be okay."
"I know, but I wish we didn't have to leave them behind," she said, as Riley climbed up onto his bunk.
"You know that we can't take them with us. We're gonna be going from world to world very quickly. What if they got lost? We wouldn't be able to locate them in time."
"I know." She rolled onto her back and looked up at the ceiling. "It's just gonna be strange being at home without them."
"Yeah, I know. Get some sleep, we leave at first light."
"Night, Riley." Jesse pulled the blanket over her head and curled up as she fell asleep.
"Night, Jesse." Riley quickly followed suit and soon they all were sound asleep.
