Chapter 6 Who do you think she is?"Is Dr Mackenzie going to be okay?" asked an upset Jaya of Dr Frasier. She was sitting in a bed in the infirmary while Janet checked her over.
Janet smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry honey, none of his injuries were life threatening, just many. It'll just be a while before he's up and about normally." Janet smiled ruefully, "Though I think that it's going to be a very long time before he ever comes back to the SGC…willingly that is."
Jaya seemed to be only slightly mollified by Janet's reassuring words, "What about Jack? Where's he now?" she asked quietly. His presence always helped her fell at ease.
"He and the rest of SG-1 are on a mission, you know Sam thinks she's figured out where you come from, so they've gone to find out. Don't worry they'll be back soon," explained Janet.
"It's just that…" Jaya began but trailed off.
"Just what?" coaxed Janet. She sat down at the edge of the bed next to Jaya putting on her best motherly face.
Jaya eyed Janet before answering slowly, "It's just that…when he's around I feel safer and he…he-I think he reminds me of my father…only Jack's less sarcastic."
Janet blinked; Jack's LESS sarcastic than somebody? Is that even possible? "Uh, okay. Well don't worry they should be back soon," she said finally after trying to assimilate that it was humanly possible to be more sarcastic than Colonel Jack O'Neill.
Boy, the General was going to love this new fact, Janet could just imagine the expression on his face.

SG-1 once more found themselves waiting for the Triad of Miraan to see them. As the first time they had come to Miraan, Barakis had met them a short distance from the stargate and at their bequest had radioed in a request for a meeting with the Triad and Master Offee. Though one thing had puzzled them. Barakis had kept staring at Daniel with a mildly perplexed expression on his face, even Daniel had noticed his weird reaction. They were currently in the anteroom past the security desk that hadn't changed at all since they were last there.
"The Triad will see you now," called a woman from the doorway of the council chambers.
They all filed silently into the council chambers and found the Triad waiting for them.
Master Barriss Offee stood in front of her raised chair and opened her arms welcoming them, "Welcome my friends, it has been many years since we last had contact with you. Please have a seat and let us talk of the reason of your return," she waved her hand and as before four chairs appeared behind the members of SG-1. Amel'ak and Soreen sat on each side of Master Offee wearing identical neutral expressions on their faces.
"Much obliged, my knees thank you," joked Jack looking into the kind luminous eyes of Barriss. Barriss smiled in response but he did not elicit a reaction from the other two council members.
Barriss looked the assembled SG-1 seeing how they had aged, her gaze stopped at Daniel and her brow furred in confusion, "Dr Jackson, what has happened to you?" she asked in disbelief as she continued to scrutinize him.
Daniel frowned and exchanged confused glances with the rest of SG-1, "Uh, excuse me Master Offee?"
"You reek of suppressed power. You are practically glowing with it," she answered confusion evident in her voice.
"You see Daniel I told you, you still glow in the dark," quipped Jack sarcastically as he realized immediately what Master Offee was talking.
Daniel's death from radiation poisoning and subsequent Ascension with the help of Oma'dessala.
"Oh that," Daniel said lamely, "long story…"
"Daniel Jackson Ascended to a higher plane of Reality as in the Jaffa Legends of Keb," stated Teal'c stoically.
"Okay maybe not so long," Daniel conceded.
Amel'ak looked with a mixture of disbelief and awe at Daniel, "The legends are true?"
Teal'c nodded solemnly in affirmation.
Amel'ak sat back in his seat trying to absorb this unexpected and unlooked for revelation.
"I am unfamiliar with this legend, please explain to me more about this 'Ascension'," requested Barriss. The little information that had been said had more than astounded her. A higher plane of Reality, Teal'c had said? It reminded her of how some ancient Jedi legends she had heard of.
"Well basically, a person grows beyond the need for a corporeal body and continues to exist purely as a non-corporeal energy being…" Carter began explaining when Colonel O'Neill cut her off.
"Look Master Offee, as interesting as this discussion is. It has absolutely nothing with why we're here," Jack said not wanting to hear another of Daniel or Carter's lecture about Ascension, "I'm sure Daniel and Carter would love to enlighten you later, hell I can practically guarantee you that they will talk until you're satisfied."
"Well than why is it that you have returned to Miraan?" spoke up Soreen coldly.
"Well," began Colonel O'Neill, "Do you happen to be missing someone, a young human female about yay height with long brown hair and brandy brown eyes, that just happens to carry around one of those cool laser swords of yours?"
Barriss Offee froze in her seat and the blood drained from her face, then with quiet precision spoke, "A young 'human' woman you say? How old?" she asked.
"Well the doc says she's in her late twenties," answered Jack after sharing a glance with Daniel over Barriss's reaction.
"What makes you think she is from Miraan, has she said anything about this world?" she asked in the same tone as before.
"She's got amnesia, doesn't remember a thing. Though our docs have been trying to help her remember," Daniel carefully. Master Offee seemed ill at ease to him with what they had said about Jaya.
Barriss rose suddenly from her chair, "Take me to her. Now!" she demanded tensely.
"What is it?" demanded Jack.
"We have not lost anyone from her and none of those with lightsabers on Miraan are human females," she said tensely, her voice rich with worry. She paused for a second before continuing, "I have a suspicion about the girl's origin. If she is what I think she then your entire world is in peril and it is possible that she is only the vanguard or a scout of something much worse the Goa'uld System Lords!" exclaimed Barriss. "It is imperative that I reach her before she remembers." A sudden thought struck Barriss to help the unsure Colonel make a choice, "If you take me now to her I will answer ALL the questions I refused to answer the first time." She fell silent.
Jack stared at her in shock before…and he wasn't he only one everyone in the room including the two other members of the triad were looking at her in disbelief. Quickly he came to a decision, "Carter, Teal'c, head back to the gate radio Hammond and tell him we're incoming with guests."

The General was waiting for them at the foot of the ramp when they returned to the SGC, though unusual Master Offee's request had been granted her vow to answer ALL of their questions and insistent warning and need to meet Jaya had sparked Hammond's curiosity and alarm. The warning of a possible enemy was not something he wanted to hear, dealing with the Goa'uld and the Replicators was enough trouble, Earth couldn't afford to have anymore enemies.
Barriss Offee and her entourage stepped through the gate after SG-1 had arrived. He surveyed the group assembled before him, the grim faced woman Barriss Offee in a brown robe with the startlingly blue eyes and gold skin, the younger version next to her, and the male version on the other side.
He stepped forward to greet them, "Greetings and welcome to Earth, I am General George Hammond commander of this facility."
Master Offee stepped of the ramp with Barakis and Luminara flanking her, she appeared to be very nervous, "I thank you, I am the Healer, Barriss Offee of Miraan. Now that pleasantries are aside please show the girl Jaya, time is of the essence," demanded Barriss.
General Hammond frowned and exchanged a glance with Jack who was standing silently at his side along with the rest of SG-1. Jack shrugged dismissively, and nodded to the General.
Hammond took a breath and gestured to the door, "This way then."

General Hammond led a strange procession through the SGC, following him were three stunning golden aliens in flowing brown robes and behind them came SG-1 still armed and in field gear. SGC personnel stared at them and jumped out of their way as the procession made there way to the infirmary.
Finally they arrived at their destination, Janet was waiting for them and led them to Jaya.
Jaya was sitting idly on her bed when she saw the group coming towards them, her face lit up with a smile when she caught sight of Jack, "Hey Jack!" she waved at him.
He walked up to her bed and began, "Hey Jaya, listen we got here someone who wants to meet you," he gestured to Master Offee to step towards them, "this is Master Offee."
Jaya turned her head towards Barriss and smiled innocently, "Hi."
"Greetings," Barriss said as she eyed the girl that was causing her so much concern. The girl that could be the start of a nightmare she had dreamt of for decades.
The girl frowned at her, "You're Mirialan, aren't you?"
Barriss froze at the statement, she heart began to beat faster and trickle of fear began to seep into her soul, "How do you know that?"
The girl shrugged, "I don't know, I just do."
Barriss frowned, that wasn't the sort of answer she was expecting, she reached out with the Force to get a feel of this girl and was shocked by what she found. Power, and plenty of it. The Force was strong in this one, very strong. She also felt a black spot upon the girl's soul, but it was less than that she had felt in many other Jedi, including Quinlan Vos who had toed the line between the Light and Dark more than once.
She relaxed and took a deep breath, the girl was not a Dark Jedi or Sith Lord as she had feared. She felt Luminara and Barakis behind her relax upon sensing their mother's relief, though this discovery only left them with only one question, who in the twelve Hells of Corellia was she!
She scanned the girl once more to see the cause of her amnesia. Images flashed past her mind's eye and sadness and despair threatened to overcome her where she stood.
"Hello? Earth to Master Offee, are you just going to continue staring at Jaya?" asked Jack sarcastically.
Barriss ignored his sarcastic comment and spoke to Jaya, "I may be able to help you remember…do you want me to remember the sadness?"
Jaya shook her head.
"But you need to, don't you?" continued Barriss mysteriously.
Jaya bit her lip, then nodded.
Barriss smiled at Jaya and then said, "Then lie back and listen," once Jaya was flat in the bed, Barriss placed her hands on either side of Jaya's head. She concentrated and reached out with the Force into Jaya's mind, past the strong barriers that Jaya had erected there. She focused, trying to gently goad the mind into remembering past memories. Time seemed to dilate for Barriss and have no meaning until finally she bent down near Jaya's ear and whispered, "Sleep now and tomorrow you will remember."
Barriss let go of Jaya's head and turned around to face the others, "She will awaken tomorrow and she will remember everything," she explained, while stretching her stiff back.
"What did you do to her? You do know that you were standing like that for an hour?" asked Jack insistently and a bit bewildered.
"I helped her remember. I am not called the Healer for nothing you know," she quipped sarcastically.
Jack flexed his jaw a couple of times before retorting, "Yeah, okay-but you were still standing there hunched over her for an hour."
"These things take time and cannot be rushed. But that is not what is bothering you, is it? You seek the answers I promised you," the last part was said as a unyielding statement.
"Well yeah, of course," retorted Jack smartly.
"Then lead us to somewhere I can sit and talk and your questions will be answered, it is a very long tale," she smiled ruefully, "Though I promise that when I am finished we will both want one question answered."
Jack eyed her speculatively, "Yeah? What's that?"
Barriss shrugged nonchalantly, "Who is she?"
