Description: It's seems to Lisa like she's experiencing the world for the first time. Everything is so new and confusing, but surely with the Daniel she knew nearby it'll be easier. Right? Follow up to Season 8 finale Moebius.
Spoilers: Well... anything up to the end of Season 8 is fair game for this story. Major spoilers for both parts of Moebius.

"Sam, we need to talk." Jack O'Neill sounding sincere was a strange way to start the day. As she slipped her jacket off she turned to face her commanding officer.

"What is it General?"

Taking her by the elbow Jack lead Sam into a nearby storage room. "Remember that tape from... wherever? The one of us five thousand years ago?"

"Right, where we went back in time for a ZPM and lost access to the ship so we made the video and Daniel left it where he knew it would be found just before we left so we didn't need to go."

Jack looked as though he was in pain. "I still can't wrap my mind around that."

"Well what did you want to talk to me about?" Sam asked.

"Lisa O'Neill," he told her.

"Relative of yours?"

"Apparently."

"Sir?"

"She claimes to be my daughter," he whispered. After a short pause he added, "our daughter."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, don't look like that's such a horrible thing," he said.

"Well sir, it clearly is impossible," she said.

"Yeah, yeah," he said off hand. Clearing his throat he explained. "Apparently the two of us, five thousand years ago, had a daughter together."

"I'm not sure I understand."

"Think how I feel," he said, struggling to keep his voice down. "All I know is she knows things."

"Like what?"

"Personal thing," he replied. "About you, me, Daniel, and even Teal'c. She knows all about the stargate, and our missions, and the whole program."

"How is that possible?"

"She says Daniel told her."

"What?" Sam couldn't keep the look of shock from her face. After working side by side with Daniel Jackson for much of the past eight years it was hard to imagine he would do such a thing.

"Well, not our Daniel," he corrected. "The Daniel that went back to 3000 BC."

"Sir, can I meet her?"

"She's being brought her," he told her. "She should be at the base tomorrow morning. We'll all have a chance to chat with this... Lisa then."

"She says I told her what?" Daniel asked. Jack had just finished catching him and Teal'c up on Lisa. "I swear I haven't told anyone anything."

"Well, not you you," Jack assured him. "You from another time line."

"OK, what?" Daniel asked. "You mean like a parallel universe?"

"From what I've been told, no," he replied. "But good guess, that was my first one too."

"O'Neill, if it was not a Daniel Jackson from a parlell universe than how can two of him exist?" Teal'c asked.

"OK, I'll see if I can explain this without understanding," Jack said as he put his ring fingers of each hand to his temples and slowly massaged the tender spots. "The tape that was found at Gezma..."

"I think you mean Giza," Daniel interrupted.

"Whatever, you remember the tape right?" Jack asked. Daniel shrugged and nodded while Teal'c nodded his head slightly. "OK, well apparently it was the Daniel on that tape."

"So it was me that ended up stuck 5000 years ago?" Daniel asked.

"Yes!" Jack exclaimed.

"OK, but if that... me... was in 3000 BC then how did he... I... tell this girl anything?" Daniel asked.

"If the SG-1 in 3000 BC did not change the time line like we thought then surely Daniel Jackson did not tell anyone anything before they went back in time," Teal'c said, pointing out the obvious, "for Daniel Jackson has not done that."

"Have you?" Jack asked, turning quickly to face Daniel.

"No, of course not," Daniel insisted.

"Well, I left a little bit of the puzzle out," Jack admitted. "Apparently the Sam and... me... 5000 years ago had a daughter. Apparently. And that's who this girl says she is. She won't say much to anyone, she insists on speaking with us, but whenever asked how she knows what she does she says Daniel told her."

"But surely if she is who she says she is then all four of us would have told her things," Daniel said, thinking out loud.

"Yes," Jack agreed, "so you would think. She will be here tomorrow morning. Since you come up more than anyone I was thinking you should meet her first Daniel. If she really thinks you told her all this maybe she'll open up to you more."

"Wait," Daniel replied quickly. "Do you really think that's safe? Bringing her to the base I mean."

"Obviously there's some risk involved but I think it would be best if our own people dealt with this," he told her. "She knows... a lot."

"Well Jack, she's not the first person we've come across who knew more than they should about the happenings at the SGC," Daniel said.

"Indeed," Teal'c added. "There have been many in fact."

"Yes, but this Lisa knows more than just the happenings at the SGC," Jack told them. "She knows everything."
