Disclaimers: I don't own stargate, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the movie company and the writers.

Chapter 30: Need Aftermaths II: The Truth Comes Out

"Well this guy clearly looks like me if I was a marine rather then a member of the Space version of the Navy." Will said to that in disgust and he nodded. "And his best friend is me." Tapping said in response and she and Daniel both nodded. "That was us in season 1." Picard said to her and she nodded. "Tasha really, did you have to provoke that blob?" Beverly said with a sigh and she sighed. "I wanted my friend back." Denise Crosby said to her and they nodded gently.

"And again, Sanders said, Sanders said, but does he have to deal with you as my boss every week?" Will asked in stern annoyance and he nodded. "No kidding right now, I'd be afraid to have to explain why kind of mistake this idiot made when my boss is a Colonel with the temper of a two star." Geordi said to that and Picard and Hammond nodded. "To which we are right and you knew better boys." Hammond said with a bemused smile at his remark as he looked at him.

"Issues in wanting some action and adventure and they're getting irritated that I'm heading off some action right now in truth dad." he said and Hammond nodded as Crosby looked at him. "And trust me, no matter how many times we go over there, it's the same damn argument, over and over, and over." Daniel said to her and she nodded as she and Will crossed their arms at that in annoyance. "Grow up, this isn't a game." Will said sternly and John swallowed hard.

"This was a Medusa drill we were running, and he's acting like he's that idiot." Sam said and they nodded as they saw a first Lieutenant in a panic attack. "What the hell is going on?" the lieutenant asked and they watched as the sergeant shot up his hand to get shut him up then. "Shut up you idiot, shut up, you're going to blow their cover." Cam said in stern annoyance and Daniel nodded sternly as they watched the other group also freeze up at that.

"If this was us, we'd be using sign language, but if he's an enlisted officer, and he's the youngest in ranks here to the real enlisted now here too. Then he should know better then to say anything out loud, if they were in hearing range of whoever it is they're shadowing here." Lou said in disgust at that. "You think he would, but it's clear he's done too much simulation, not enough combat." Daniel said and the elder colonels and Lieutenant Colonels nodded sternly.

"Great, we were hoping to make it out of this without a shot fired, and he exposes them like he's god damn rookie." Felton said to that remark. "I think he was right now, though that's true, and this was his first combat mission, in shadowing, but even a season soldier would know better then to speak out loud. And go to military sign language." Sam said to that and he nodded sternly in agreement as they watched it carefully at that remark then firmly as they heard it.

"Shouldn't we take them out, somebody should take them out." Weems said as his tone started going higher in pitch, the idiot was panicking and they knew it. "The lieutenant is not going to stand for this, Gunny take down those soldiers." he snapped at the sergeant and he looked at him at that. "Are you kidding me, that could get the person that ordered it arrested for court martial!" Jack snapped in shock as he now heard the words said.

"Uh Jack you recall your earlier behavior when you were John?" Daniel asked sternly, and he paled. "You as well Sam, when you were Renfro?" he asked and they both paled at that remark then. "You yanked your gun at the same time that the kids came out and barely shot Skaara Sam, while for you Jack, you recall my actually going to get the determination by walking up to talk to them and to Phigenia's guardian?" he asked and they both paled at that remark then.

"You see, if you even bothered to check where they were coming from, or bothered to talk to them, you'd know this, but I'm doing all three sides, you're both focused on the first two." he said and they both swallowed hard at that. "You need a way to know that for sure, well walk up and get into conversation." he said and Hammond nodded. "If that doesn't do it nothing ever does, want a determination, get into conversation." Landry said to that gently in observation.

"And of the three of you here, the true clear less threatening one is your brother." Hammond said and they both swallowed hard at that. "Why what did you do, if he's laying into both of for that remark?" Jacob asked sternly and he sighed. "Let's just say that they nearly did what John and Renfro did when we went to get Teal'C here, and when she went to Abydos for the first time." he said and they all nodded to that remark as Sutherland crossed his arms here.

"In the words of my book double. 'This is for all of you with itchy trigger fingers, and I'm warning you, if that slug gets shot, I'll shoot the person who did it.'." he said and Jack paled. "Nice wording in the rewrite of that remark, that matches the way we talk here, but he's clearly still sounding like a 1957 author here right now." Sam said to him and he nodded. "That was my age group and we were teenagers actually, but that's the we way talk back then."

"But again, the wording says the same thing and my book counterpart wasn't kidding when he said that, to Keith, and the other's book selves." he said and she nodded gently at that. "I'd like to know how you knew he was actually choosing your jet instead of another one here?" Daniel asked and he chuckled. "Lucky guess, then again, it's the case of the damn thing never realized he walked right into me, and the boys were waiting to catch him off guard."

"But the damn thing didn't realize we were waiting for him to yank that gun and that wasn't me sedating him, it was Will." he said and they nodded in amazement. "Issues, but again, and like in our time-line, I went to do some recon, before you reactivated me, and unknown to these idiots now here. I came back, before dad recalled me for active duty, to tell him what I know and knew, and that was a test." Daniel said and they nodded in shock to that.

"So fast case of recon, and you went to see the races and the general here, before Apophis attacked?" Jack said in shock and he nodded. "Yeah that's right, but if you were as smart as you let on in that time-line, why would the gate be unguarded and with it now is this. But why would I even bother act as though I'm more experienced then you, and do what the general ordered us to do here, the debate, before the virus ran amok, we were talking this over."

"And you both fail for our fake fight over this, just before Johnson lost it." he said and they both swallowed hard at that news. "Hammond depends on me, for everything, he, Landry, your father, Addison even the president depend on me for the diplomatic relations on missions here. That they know of the three of us, I'm the one that can it done and without a shot fired here." he said and they both paled at that, as they saw they were the ones in the wrong then.

"Jack you recall this scenario, you nearly did the same, and she berated me for going right up to talk to them?" Daniel asked and they both paled at that. "Instead of a Medusa drill, where you're actually talking out loud, I do it so quietly you never notice I take off on you, and actually walk right up to talk to them?' he asked and she swallowed hard at that remark, as she realized what he was saying as Matheson crossed his arms then sternly at the reveal.

"Or weren't you aware of this, this was something I trained him in at the time, before we saw each other again?" Hammond asked crossing his arms then and Jack paled at that. "Like your father, young lady, I trained Daniel in things, before we saw each other when he was an adult, and instead of staying away. He chose to come see me and it's not him I was ticked at, it was you, try to do things your own way, always backfires." he said sternly and they paled at that.

"Dad not her, it's not her, it's always been him, you know what he's like if he loses his temper, so why are the girls so afraid of him here if, and I stress it. Why would she, that's Janet, be afraid of me here, if the guy possessing me was like him, and loses his temper here and enough he needs to be restrained?" he asked and they nodded. "It's because if we don't and I know he's going to take her hostage and prevent it." he said and Sam nodded to him gently at that.

"Example?" Hammond asked and Daniel and Sam exchanged knowing looks. "Glover?" she asked and he nodded. "Why not, we always considered his way as not the only way and you did say that was a sacred spot." Charlie said and she nodded in agreement. "You recall the telling off that Dan gave to Ray, in my movie, on that elephant?" Corin asked and he nodded. "That's this now, what if whoever was coming our way was not the enemy troops." he said to him then.

"And we got bigger problems but if we needed anyway to get Teal'C it was by using them as a guide and bring us right to town." Daniel said and they nodded in agreement. "Nice thinking, I never would have thought to use the monks as a guide to bring us straight to wherever we're searching for our last remaining team-mate." Dixon said to him and he nodded. "I know, but rather then a Medusa drill he did it again." he said and Hammond crossed his arms at that news.

"It's a case of checking where they're coming from and the second time we went there, I heard what sounded like a church bell going off at the time now. As she and I went to check on it, and found I was right at the moment, so that's where the ones we ran right into the first time we were there, were headed. Jack never considered to ask and nearly blows said medusa drill by shooting the ones we walked right into here." he said and Hammond nodded sternly at that.

"It's not Sam dad, it's him, even when I can handle this, he nearly goes in shooting, Charlie." he said and Charlie moved to him at that with his arms crossed. "Daniel and I were both annoyed he nearly attacked Kasuf like that, when all he was trying to tell us, is there was a sandstorm coming on right now here. That we chose to bunk with them that night, before we lost David, after Sha're brought Daniel to where the coordinates were." he said and Hammond nodded then.

"Daniel, I knew could manage on his own, he didn't need us baby-sitting him when he's just doing his job like he was trained to do, it took a bit of time. But he learned the right pronunciation here right now, before he asked her to lead him to wherever said coordinates were and and Skaara did a blood hound catch. With Little-bit, bringing us right to him and I rounded the corner and found what we needed to get us back." he said and the quartet nodded sternly at that.

"So that's what happened, this was supposed to be a recon mission and instead West turns it into a survival mission and half your unit is murdered here. And out of trying to pull a black ops situation here?" Bert asked and Charlie nodded to him. "Yeah, Daniel I've never seen so pissed when he revealed what the hell happened and why he got shot in the first place, before he collapsed on us, as he quickly told me, the side effects of it just hit him, he needed the vitamin D."

"And now, before he also told me, that they ran him through the sarcophagus to bring him back to life." he said and they nodded. "So basically like trying to get some sort of narcotic out of his body, and before he knew what was coming, so if straight milk was not an option, it's immediate use of the pills. And now, and get him in front of the fire, so he could heal as the worst of the sides effects started wearing off." Warner said and he nodded to him and he nodded.

"And it's a wonder he never got him killed too." Lou said to him and he nodded in anger at that as Jack swallowed hard at that remark. "Just never occurred to either of us, that we knew each other already, not as adults, but as children, before we got placed under you as our new commander. Sam joins the team and the truth comes out to why the trio already know and knew each other, we knew each other as kids before meeting now." he said and Hammond nodded then.

"One more reason to control your temper, I wasn't lying, I needed more time, and if these idiots would be more patient, we would keep ending up in this. The messes they get us into." Daniel said and he nodded. "Well now I got the point after doing a re-run of that conversation, Charlie's degenerate twin is the one. That now loses his temper, and before mine nearly causes a repeat as we're on guard duty with you as you're on sentry duty." he said and Daniel nodded.

"Anyone else feel like the three stooges, I never use my powers on you guys unless I have no choice?" he asked and Sam hid a laugh at that. "Yeah and I did say that to my idiot double, before you blasted him across the dune, as I joined you as you had your binoculars in the ready position here now. And we were tracing where the over-sized fuzzball was, before you put me in charge of the camp and Charlie and you went to check on it." he said and he nodded smiling.

"But that's why we were so pissed off, after Ra revealed why he nearly killed himself here, his desperation to get us off the planet right now here in truth. Is because he knew, he gets caught with that bomb, and we're all having him arrested when we get back." he said and Hammond nodded sternly to the news. "As it is, we know you're not the type right now, in truth, to know this all too well, and like you said, you have your orders too, and you obey your's."

"Said being to get the intel out of him and till we decide to check and see Daniel is alright or not, you're working for Addison, and not West." he said and Hammond nodded to him. "I knew you were going to figure that out sooner or later, it's not the NID I'm taking orders from, but Jerry and Bill." he said and they nodded. "That's Bill Maynard and you met my father's other best friend." he said to Sarah and she nodded as she looked at Addison gently at that.

"Bill's his first name, so William Francis Maynard, but to him I'm his one of his best friends, to know I'm their one chance at getting results done right." he added and she nodded and the NID paled. "Issues when your best friends are and happen to be your boss, case in point is me and Dustin now." Freeman said and Daniel nodded. "We maybe friends, but I'm also your boss, it's not run by committee, I'm your boss, I got my boss." he said in response to that then.

"Want for better word here, is every time there's trouble, we know the reason for it, and it's always said alter ego." General Bill Francis Maynard said and he nodded to that. "Tell me about it, and we just made it." he said and he nodded in relief. "So we caught them with their hands in the cookie jar?" he asked and he nodded. "As Daniel dropped the bomb on us here, and I've never been so pissed off here." Lou said and he nodded sternly at that as Daniel said it to her.

"Yeah well we forgot each other's faces right now to realize we know each other already, but the look on your face when I turned on him said it all." Daniel said and they smiled. "Yeah, like you said you're the perfect double agent." Charlie said smiling and Lou nodded. "Well the rest of that was actually stage acting as I exposed him right to you guys, and the rest of the mission was because he was about to send it back to the NID with a message." he said and the duo nodded.

"Said message punctuated by the fact he doesn't realize that my first prime rigged it so that no matter how much he tries to switch it off. Now, it won't." Ra said sternly and Addison nodded to the news. "So that was saying directly, they want to test you with atomic weapons, how long would it take for you, now. To over ride the circuits and for the detonator right now, till he has to launch it off the planet?" Hammond asked him and he nodded gently.

"Indeed my message was the one of said reminder Cronos gave you: we will not attack world, but, if you continue to use the stargate. Be warned now, General, that anyone in his grouping that is captured by the system lords shall be shown no mercy, for attempted mutiny. They will suffer greatly, if you attempt to dissolve this partnership to get more excitement into your lives by open war." he said and Hammond nodded.

"And there is no mutiny for us, we're happy with things like they are right now, we're happy with being human Jaffa." Hammond said and he nodded to him. "Indeed, but clearly, one of your former officers had decided to end this alliance, though all of you prefer the way things are right now, as it's all politics and diplomacy." Cronos said sternly and he nodded. "More politics and less war, we prefer it this way." Addison said to him and he nodded.

"And we got the message and I thank you, for your compassion in trying to help get us, get out of there." Daniel said and he nodded. "And his rash actions nearly kill you, but you wearing my medallion said it all to me, you weren't turning on me, as I also saw the medallions. That were on your friends, the trio, to know this, and with them was his twin, I saw the indication like you did, you would never turn against me now, Colonel."

"You never turned against me, this was just for show, and let me guess, this is why this pompous little mind healer considered now. That you've been turned into a drone under my control, he lied to them, again, to save his mik'ta?" he asked and Daniel nodded. "Mik'ta?" Saxon said to that and Daniel nodded. "Another word for that is ass." he said and he nodded. "He's trying to save himself an arrest." Carson said and Daniel nodded to him.

"Explains his being here that night." Jacob said sternly to that. "No kidding, in trying to get him to run science testing on that piece of junk." Henderson said to him and he nodded."Yeah and though I'm only 33, to everyone Jack's age, I'm still a 2nd lieutenant said needs protecting, though I can defend myself." he said to her and she nodded. "Well though an adult, you still look like a cadet here, brother." she said in response and Janet nodded in agreement to that.

"Yeah that's the reason alright in this case, he considered I was on a power trip that night, after I came here to handle this." Daniel said and he crossed his arms at that news. "You had specific orders by me, if this means trying to arrest this guy, it's making clear he still was trying to commit suicide by a stunt like this, Danny." Carson said to him and he nodded, and Jack paled at his remark shaking as he realized what he was saying as Daniel said it to her gently.

"Sam you're not in trouble here, it's him, you too Teal'C." Daniel said to them and they nodded in relief at that. "You just met, and to repeat what I said then, though I knew him longer then you did, doesn't mean anything, he never listens to genius if he could help it. And we're the ones getting infected with the curse of Artemis, remember." he said and she nodded as she wrapped her arm around his back and Teal'C nodded gently to that remark and response then.

"Come here." Daniel said to her and she moved to him and he hugged her tightly at that she closed her eyes then as she pressed her forehead to his then and he closed his as he linked them together and the Gardners and Carters both smiled at that. "Doesn't matter, but you and me, it was always you and me all the times he tried to divide us, you never went anywhere without me, as we did our missions together, and you were right, after Apophis, he made it."

"That mistake and gets captured, it's not till we reveal ourselves that Apophis realized the entire team was there, remember?" he asked and she smiled at that. "You learned, but you remember this, live and learn, and we did, we decided to leave him to be the one to wear his emotions on his shoulder here right now. And we showed we could do this, as you passed me your pistol followed by your rifle, we did it, as we played it smart." he said and she smiled and nodded.

"No joke, and you're absolutely right, just because you and I had a connection from the very beginning, it doesn't change the fact of a certain few areas. You want to tell him the truth or should I dad, in why Daniel gave up or what really destroyed us, before we busted them for attempted murder and kidnapping." she asked and the 7 nodded sternly as their doubles crossed their arms at that remark as the medical team exchanged knowing looks at that remark.

"I knew you longer, but our first kiss as preteens, a bond that never changed and instead grew deeper, you fought to hang onto me, I'm your everything. You love me, as more then a best friend, but best friend going imprint, and you finally said it after Hathor came into the picture, you said it directly now. You love me, I belong to you, I'm not his to care about, I belong to you, I always did." she said and he pressed his forehead to her's and Jacob smiled at that response.

"Yeah we remember that, the smiles on your faces were everything to know she was happy, I saw you as a son, so though too soon for this, I knew it now. If you got married, I'd be a very happy father, you're everything I ever wanted for my baby girl." Jacob said and he nodded. "Love you too, dad." he said and he smiled as he gave him a hug. "Yeah I remember you calling me that the entire time you were together." he added and Hammond smiled at the memory.

"Then again..., blast it, I don't know why you never used that moment, to lead us into checking Makepeace's jacket with Jack out of the way for it. As the truth comes out, before you come home right now, and we can start things off that term better then we did as the truth comes out sooner then it did. And our relationship is repaired, before your memories get jogged and we start the time-line over again." Hammond said and Sam and Teal'C nodded in agreement.

"I'm starting to wish I dropped in on you, after he was out of the picture, as I knew he would never tell you he saw me in the brig, after his first round." he said and they nodded to the news then. "After the sarcophagus, how could we not want to see you again this soon, after repeated mistakes, his short tempered-ness was now grating on our nerves like this." Hammond said and he and Jacob exchanged looks at that remark as they exchanged irritated looks.

"You're my son, I wanted you back." he added and Daniel nodded as he pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around him, as they heard a scream of pain come out him and Bowdern nodded. "Yeah there it is, the strength of love is like acid to demons, but that's parental love, for Sam, it's the same, it's that of best friend. Said turned soulmate, the stronger and deeper those memories run, and the better chances we have here." McBride said and they nodded.

"Which was what Bill quickly figured out, as priests we exercise the unconditional love of being our station, but for us, it's we're his family priests now in truth. In which case now, it's a matter of the longer it goes and it's draining his strength till we snap the cord, but he focuses on every good memory he had. Of the last 20 years and we got them finally, and it's game over, the last 13 years is the key, from your meeting to now." Halloran said to clarify and they nodded.

"Thank god we got one good year, before the old fool was transferring him all over the place." Bowdern said and Halloran and Mcbride nodded in agreement. "His age group was Nash's Bill." Claire said to him and he nodded. "Yes and as if not losing you and Mel is not bad enough, I lose my grandson with you." he said to her and she nodded. "In which case, we had 14 good years after Sam and I ran into each other on campus." Daniel said and she smiled gently then.

"Before the memory comes back full force, I may not be a half and half, but doesn't matter we understand each other perfectly, to go on the alert here now. If we had company on board, like you and Davis did at the time right now, but if you had both me and Jonas and that solves the problem as I'm with you. Jonas on board the cargo ship and with Teal'C as they're waiting for trouble and Jacob's in charge, but this, enough already." he said and she nodded and said it.

"And does Major General mean anything to him, your father is a 2 star still, doesn't matter if he's retired or not, still a 2 star." he said to her and Jack swallowed hard at that, as he saw the look of a skilled soldier in the older man's eyes at that. "What does it matter here right now whether he agrees with the duo and Landry's opinions or not, they're in charge not him, he's a bird colonel, they're two ranks ahead of him." he said sternly and she nodded in agreement.

"Anyone considering situations like that attempted salvage crossing the line between strange to this is getting ridiculous?" she asked and her father nodded. "Yes and that's the one time I heard you sound like a 16 year old or just a cadet in annoyance, I'm treating you like a cub again, baby." he said and Jenny started laughing. "Alright laugh it up young lady, that was you after I was training you." she added and Daniel closed his eyes as he tried to hold in his then.

"Issues in the 15 year age difference here right now in truth, and to me, you're my big sister/mentor Sam." she said to her and she nodded. "Love you too little sister." she said and Daniel smiled at Chris and she looked down at that response. "What could be considered as flirting with someone far too young is me acting like a big brother to my star pupil here, Sam." he said and she nodded in relief he was saying that remark as Jack went white in shock at that remark.

"If Sam says this I don't doubt some of the Jedi were acting in training the opposite gender, so say Soara's mentor is a man, said could be Bill's clone. The girl playing Siri was training a teenage boy, no older then the quartet, it's only natural, but where did they get the idea from?" he asked and she nodded. "I get it, I get the point, and you're right, just being a caring big brother or sister here." she said and Hammond nodded as he realized where that thought went sternly.

"I heard the subtext in that warning tone to her, you were only be a caring big brother, what was said before the ready line bitch or praise session?" he asked and he crossed his arms. "I was saying that I thought he was being way too hard on them, they're only cadets, cut them a break, and she decided to stop doing. In what he wanted and then went with my tactic of getting the drop on me, from behind, before yanking me under the window, after knocking me out."

"But she did exactly as I would do, screw the standard acting before they think and instead getting the drop on said target from behind, and by a distraction. Distraction and diversion tactic, take them down, and then to get said person that was knocked out undercover here before the blast breaks a window now. And screw my own safety, my counterpart, though compromised matters more to me, my friend, or in this case, big brother." he said and Hammond nodded.

"Remember how Obi-wan and Anakin were, before he started treating him like a kid at the time?" he asked and Hammond nodded. "Well that's how I am with Chris, if I was a Jedi myself, being the mentor to a preteen bordering very early teenage girl, is that any reason to get critical. When I'm acting like a father with my student?" he asked and Hammond shook his head. "No it doesn't, you're being a good mentor by doing that." Kerrigan said to him and he nodded.

"I'm her best friend, and in addition to being her mentor, I'm her big brother/father now, I love her in both ways: baby sister and daughter." he said and Hammond nodded and Sam swallowed hard, realizing she misdirected the interactions between Daniel and Chris at that and Hammond crossed his arms. "Christina?" he asked her and Chris nodded. "All true Sir, every word, he's been working with me in one on one." she said and he and Kerrigan nodded gently.

"Rather then full team practice sessions, I get Chris alone so we can do one on one, and that's why she was acting like this with me." Daniel said and Kerrigan nodded. "Like I said, she thinks he's cute, but that's the opinion of a pupil in love with her teacher." Jenny said and Hammond nodded with a bemused smile. "She knows he's taken already, but that's not stop the act of getting playful with her teacher, Sir." Brandon added with a slight smile and they both nodded.

"You all knew how she feels about him, but to her, it's she loves him like a big brother, and they're working completely in unison, while you're here in truth. In trying to figure out what Jack and Sam wants from you, she and Jason know what Daniel wants from them and they do it accordingly?" Hammond asked him and he nodded. "Exactly Sir, that's it exactly, but they're full scientists and diplomats, we're soldiers in a way." Jenny said and he nodded to her gently then.

As Daniel nudged her and she leaned against his side with her head against his shoulder and Sutherland smiled gently at that response then. "Let me take a wild guess, but with you, he told you everything of his resentment, before he ascended?" Janet asked her and she nodded. "Yes Doctor he did, but all part of the bond in a student/teacher relationship and this is what the line in that book means, 'invite the master in', and it's finished the transition right now in truth."

"He tells me everything and I in turn, tell him my deepest fears, but we got a brother/sister relationship in addition to his being my mentor right now here. But in truth, just who is she to criticize right now, you always said never wear your emotions on your shoulder, but look who's talking in her case?" she asked and she and Jack paled, realizing she sounded like Daniel at that as she went further as she looked between the cast of generals and the generals themselves.

"And why should I let her criticize me here when she keeps doing it, but Cassie, her father and sorry General, Jack himself, you get the point?" Chris asked and they both nodded. "Yeah I call that the pot calling the kettle black right now." Sutherland said sternly and she swallowed hard at that remark. "She's not training her daughter, but their relationship didn't start off well, Daniel and me, we hit it off when you brought us here." she said and Hammond nodded then.

"The catch in expertise came to mind and mine is I'm studying all three areas he is, and I'm his prize pupil, he's spending every spare hour when off duty now. With me, and I love the time I spend with him, our brother/sister time is just that. But he's being everything I need him to be, so why get critical, when being my mentor, me and Jason?" she asked and Hammond nodded. "We understand and that's fine, but like we said that's like the pot calling the kettle black." Saxon said for Matheson and she nodded.

"That's fine and I can let that go, but best focus, baby." Kerrigan said to her and she nodded as Daniel nudged her with a smile and she grinned at him and Hammond nodded as he saw it clearly at that. "Same here baby, I know you're enjoying in being the student of my son, but lose focus you're likely to get hurt, when it shifts from fun and games and right to live ammo next, watch your step now." Hammond said and she nodded to him at the order as they relaxed.

"Hey..., ow, would watch where you smack me here." they heard and he turned. "Jason, Jake, break it up guys, and keep it and you're both going to get it and I'm not kidding." Daniel said and they both nodded. "You told me that one too many times." Chris said and he looked at her. "And keep it up in getting smart with me, and I will so watch it, baby sister." he said to her at that and she nodded with a playful smile to him and Hammond chuckled at that remark gently.

"Generals Hammond, Kerrigan and I saw you and her exchange a knowing smile after you nudged her in the shoulder, is that what that was really about, Daniel. That her one on one with you finally paid off right now, before Jennifer went next, and Brandon got put on my unit?" Mansfield asked and he nodded. "Yeah it was, and she and I were making clear, it's not always think on your feet, and think fast, you need every minute." he said and Kerrigan and Hammond nodded.

"And you did great baby, that was great work right now, but it's not always detachment, to be an effective military officer, you need to step out right now here. Of what your commander wants you to do it and go it another way, and you proved that perfectly right now." Hammond said and Jack swallowed hard as she smiled at the praise then. "And I couldn't be more proud of you baby sister, nice work, Chris." Daniel said smiling and she smiled at the title then gently.

"Come here." he said and she moved to him and he hugged her tightly and she tightened her arms around him as she buried her head into his shoulder. "Guys listen to me all of you, Jake you too." he said and Hancock moved to him. "I know there were two tests you were irritated over here, but yes, yes you don't know know who's who here, but rather then shooting the said hosts, it's knock out the soldier, and then sort it out, as for all you know said Goa'uld here now."

"Is really an ally, as the sextet, and not an enemy, like Conrad." he said and they nodded as Jack paled, realizing he never figured in a third option. "And as for the Tok'ra said Tok'ra could be a plant by an enemy Goa'uld. Tanity was still alive, what if he swapped bodies, so knock them out too, and we sort this out, but there is no need to argue over this." he said and Sam and Jack exchanged shocked looks, realizing they never looked at that consideration before and Hammond nodded in approval at that remark gently.

"Ooh, good catch there Tanith could have come to earth now that Apophis was dead and hijacked Daniel, what looks like a friend could be a foe. Or could be a foe and is a friend and having them try to convince you before someone shoots you is distraction. Just stun them both and sort it out later after we get them back to the base." Saxon said smiling and Hammond nodded gently as Jacob, Landry and Kerrigan exchanged proud smiles,

"There, that's it exactly, thank you son, you just said exactly what I wanted you to catch." Jacob said and Sam swallowed hard at that remark. "In trying to figure out what the duo want from you, is not an option, but what do Teal'C, Vala, Cam and I want you to do, you ever look at that?" he asked and they smiled. "It's never mind who's who, forget the arguing and deal with the hosts and then sort this out, but first knock out the soldier and his counterpart."

"As I knocked out O'neill after we nearly had a repeater of this same argument, but do that, we're going to get shot a third time." Brandon said to that remark. "Never mind what they tell you and Jason to do, you did what needed to be done, and frankly, that remark in his washing out, he didn't right now in truth. Yes we never leave someone behind, but at times we don't have a choice in the matter, as go back too soon, you get arrested too." he said and they all nodded.

And the duo both paled at that. "Using what Frank considered, he goes back and the entire team gets captured, but again, it's no one's fault but their's, the test ended in a fail. You didn't have a enough time to go in and grab him, before the self destruct went off, not your fault and for the record. That's just how a full soldier, or scientist thinking like a soldier thinks, doesn't always work it takes time, time and patience right now." he said and the quartet nodded gently.

"Like the General said, is it any wonder you're their star pupil here right now?" Chris said smiling and he chuckled and nodded as the duo swallowed hard. "Well I'm the only one that dedicated myself to the training that the sextet gave us, and even Garshaw and Bra'tac see my ways as worth looking into here." he said and Bra'tac nodded in approval. "That's an understatement, and we'd do training like this." Cam said to him and Vala nodded smiling gently at that.

"So what is the bloody problem, if they're trying to sway your thinking, take out the added argument and then do the hosts." she said and Teal"C nodded. "Indeed, that is a standard ploy we as Jaffa do all the time in training, right now, if someone is trying to sway our thinking, we take out the sudden fight. In trying to sway our thoughts, as for all you know they're trying to sway you to their side, so nicely done, Chal'ti." he said and Daniel said it in finality at that.

"I'm not a pedophile Sam, she's too young for me, and who are you to criticize, or did you forget, Jack is nearly twice your age." he said sternly and she swallowed hard, realizing she was doing it again to him. "But what's the problem, can't I have other friends besides you or Jack?" he asked and she paled at that. "And when said friend just so happens to be my student: Anakin and Obi-wan, they were the best of friends and were student/mentor, I guess not here."

"If you're crazy jealous, don't want to share me, and were in the same scenario here, and you recall that little whore that tried to move in on you?" Daniel said to her and she went white, as she forgot that part. "But you recall what Anakin said possession is forbidden, attachment is forbidden?" he asked and she swallowed hard. "This isn't what it looks like at all as she and I spend hours together working over it, and that was a test." he said and she swallowed hard.

"But were you even hearing your voice when Jenny told you that?" he asked and she broke out in a sweat at that. "It's like you were trying to claim your territory with me." he said and Hammond crossed his arms. "Oh what's your problem exactly here Sam, you ever consider the reason he preferred not being around the command born, and wants to be with his own kind, yes you're the daughter of general, but news-flash." Lou snapped in fury at that news.

"You're acting as stuck up now, as you were till he decides he's had it, and you're doing it to him again right now, so back the hell off for once here right now!" Warren snapped at her. "Yeah that's right Sam, you're doing it to me, again, all crazy jealousy, and can't I have a life, outside of the god damn team, be who I really am here now?" Daniel asked sternly and she and Jack swallowed hard, realizing what he was saying as he further that remark his eyes flashing angrily.

"Who the hell are you to criticize my training my daughter, or did you forget you're not parent, not yet right now, and I'm teaching my son who is a preteen?" he asked her sternly and she swallowed hard at that. "Two words: parental concern, my job in being a mentor, a parent comes first over getting the goods on an enemy. It's my job to make sure that they make it in and out alive, without a shootout here, without a mistake." he said and they swallowed hard at that.

"The bastard is 8 years older, and we're 36, in that season here now, he's 44, so think a bit more would you please, I'm training a girl, I see with a lot now. In potential, one I see could be my next in command of my department, and she's just getting started, she's got the potential to be more then a simple officer. Said who, in terms, could be my baby sister for all you know, Ewan is training Hayden, and he was 16 years older." he said and she swallowed hard then.

"Ahh shit." Jason said and he looked at him bemused. "No kidding and watch the language, pal." he said and Jason and Brandon nodded to the order. "Yes and I think you made your point son, I want officers like you training my recently graduated cadets, a skilled officer and mentor, but training the opposite. Now in genders, it's taking more time, but that's no reason to be getting jealous, as Nicky is still far too young to join the program." Hammond said to that gently.

"Was that the reason for said tone young lady, when he nudged her in the shoulder?" Kerrigan said sternly and Sam quickly nodded. "Yeah, but I didn't realize that at the time." she said and he nodded. "Well you better start paying attention, she's an archaeological prodigy, he's training his apprentice, and that's being a good mentor/big brother." Hammond said to her sternly and she nodded as Daniel wrapped his arm around Chris and she leaned against his chest.

"Not your fault baby, screw detachment, you did what you had to do, if Brandon and Jason hadn't been arguing, you all wouldn't have been shot, it's on him." Daniel said to her and she nodded as he pressed his forehead to her's and she closed her gently as he opened his mind to her and she nodded. "What was that?" Freeman asked and he smiled. "Little something the Jedi do all the time with their own apprentices, mental exchange." he said and they all nodded then.

"And this is why I love being your apprentice, you're not so by the blood-thirsty book, I'm a scholar, not markman." she said and he nodded smiling at her as he hugged her she buried her head into his shoulder and Kerrigan and Hammond hid a smile at their relationship then. "But again, just what is wrong with not attacking right out, but distraction and diversion, as I realized it in what Daniel wanted me to do?" she asked and Hammond nodded in gentle agreement.

"Which is the same as the all military side and I'm sick of all the war and hassle, I wanted to be a scientist again, I want to train my cubs in truth now. But in that time-line, I been traipsing around the galaxy getting shot up, locked up, blown up and all I had to show for it is a several scars and beyond lonesome. I wanted what everyone else has, my family, I get that back and now you're getting jealous again, screw you." he said and Sam swallowed hard at that remark.

"It was all about weapons, he wanted to be a scientist again, and was sick of the all the fights and hassle and took a year off." Hammond said to Saxon and he nodded gently. "Well it's no wonder he joined the military and now she and Teal'C are taking his opinion on everything now." he said and Sam swallowed hard, and realized he was right. "What's the problem, just to get you to trust him, he has to join the military now?" Freeman said and she paled, realizing it then.

"Well now I see why he split up with you guys, you're all command, aside from Peter, who's an M.D., Lou?" he asked and Lou shook his head. "He's my own kind Morgan." he said and the duo paled at that remark. "And did you forget what I am, Johnathan?" Eric said with a warning tone and Jack went white in fear at that. "Clearly he did, but he was born and raised a medical born, young lady, show him some respect." Sutherland said to her and she quickly nodded then.

"Remember the exchange after we got arrested for the brawl?" he asked and Hammond nodded. "Just what am I supposed to do with you kids?" he said gently and he looked down. "I'm in trouble and dad it's the armbands are having an effect on making rational choices right now," he said and Hammond nodded. "You're not the on throwing the first punch, so you're the hook and don't do it twice, young man." he said to him then gently.

"Sir." he said gently to him. "Born and raised in the military, you never dug further back in my records, did you?" he asked and they both paled at that. "Well if you had, you'd see the names of Major, Doctors, Darrel Matheson, Dillon Warren and Adam Parker, legal guardians, Father: employed and commissions back in 1967." he said and they all paled at that news in shock then. "1967, he's been in the military since you were 2!" John said in shock and fear and Daniel nodded sternly then.

"Dad only made it up to Captain at the time here, before he was killed, so fellow officer to his companions, why else would your parents call him by name. Now, then by salutation?" he asked him and she swallowed hard at that. "So that answers that question, I knew said name I just never realized I walked right into the adult version of my counterpart's son as an 2 star general." Hammond said and he nodded. "Yeah I just made it two further." he said and he nodded.

"Two further and you're been a Lieutenant Colonel for the better part of 4 years, and this just had you promoted now." Landry said smiling and he nodded. "Well born and raised in the military, I knew the channels so perfect by the book right now, as Carrie and Katie meet me now, and you see me like this." Daniel said and he nodded. "Yes, and the cub we know is still there, though they idiots never crossed the line entirely now." he said and Daniel nodded gently to him.

"Wait a damn minute, Darrel, Dillon, you guys raised him as what: a civilian or a medical born like Annie, Jared and David were?" Sutherland asked and Matheson crossed his arms. "He was born and raised in the military, back in 1982, he decided after college to get into the military, and instead of going to academy first. We brought him here, and he's done so well, that we went to NASA, and he's an accomplished astronaut and veteran of gate travel now."

"But he's a medical born soldier, like Lou and Jared, let alone my daughter are, the wires got crossed here, the true leader of the team is Daniel right now. Eric is a civilian advisor here in the Air Force right now, so Jack didn't know this information and for the last 4 years in both decades..." he said and that did it. "There it is, that's what we've been missing in that time-line, he's not a civilian at all, but a born and raised." Landry said sternly at that news then firmly.

"So the true commander of the team is really Daniel and Jack was raised an outsider?" Hammond said and Matheson nodded. "Jack's father is civilian advisor, but Mel, I activated his commission when we were no older then 21, and he's been working in the military for 13, prior to the accident, George. So Daniel was born and raised in the military, he knew everything, he's a medical born, Air Force, his father is a career officer." Addison said and Sam paled in shock at that.

"We maybe medics, but that doesn't change the fact we're soldiers, young lady." Dillon said to her and she swallowed hard. "You were born and raised a command born, your brother a medical, but medical out ranks command any day of the week." Sutherland said to translate and Jack paled at his remark. "His orders came from us, and Jerry, therefore, our orders go to George and Jacob, he follows them, end of story." he said and they both swallowed hard at that.

"And I may have been in his boss in the last one, nearly his father, well this time I am his father, and he was following my orders, where is your common sense?" Hammond asked her sternly and she swallowed hard. "It's like you're trying to pretend he's still a civilian, to give you a reason not to trust him, well it doesn't work like that, when the said leader of the team happens to be the son of a civilian." Jacob said and Jack went pale at that, realizing he was right.

"You're the outsider Colonel, your father was the real civilian, and you didn't get into the military till you were 20, Daniel was born and raised in the military. In fact, born into the medical department and raised and spent all his life in command, he's got the 25 years you don't have, you little twirp." Dillon said and he swallowed hard at that. "So Daniel was the real one in charge, where missions were concerned, and you're not." Sutherland said to finished sternly at that.

"It's in reverse, it always was, Jack is the son of a civilian, Daniel was born and raised a medical born and soldier." Landry said to translate and they all paled at that realizing they never saw that before. "You had your wires crossed for 60 years in both time-lines here, Jack is a civilian, Daniel the soldier, it's no wonder. That his closest friends are all medical born, including Lou, who is third in command of Chris's team." Saxon said to clarify and she swallowed hard news then.

"I was waiting for you to see that dad, I'm not a civilian at all, but a career born and raised, my father used his title rather then rank." he said and Hammond nodded. "I see that now, and it's no wonder Jacob, Hank and I keep coming to you for your advice, you're like Will and being our listening ear, before we make a final decision." he said and Daniel nodded. "Aside from being our boss, it's you're our parents, but does acting like a cub come to mind here right now."

"I mean I was pretending to be the computer in scanning, as I heard everything to hear the annoyed tone she gave you after you said be careful." he said and Jacob started laughing at that remark. "Nice way to keep track of us, as though we can't see you, we know you're there." Jacob said with a chuckle and he nodded. "I'd also like to know why whoever just did that tried to blast the door, as that's not possible." he said and Brandon closed his eyes to hold it then.

"And neither is it possible to crash land in that level of water, as we all know water at that depth is freezing cold right now, so it clearly wasn't Thor here. That undid said lock it was you, leading Jonas and you to work together, like you did, before he returned to Langara." Hammond said to that remark. "At our current age, we maybe adults, but to our parents still cubs, so though annoyed we love them even more for said concern." he said and Sam nodded in agreement.

"I think that's what was annoying Anakin, he was getting tired of Obi-wan treating him like a 15 to 16 year old, after his girlfriend was killed by the Sith want to be." Daniel said to her and she nodded. "And that's us now, we maybe skilled officers, but to our parents we're cadets, who need them still right now." she said and he nodded. "And issues in enjoying serving under your father, he knew I would have seen this as look but no touch." he said and Jacob chuckled then.

"Tell me about it right now, but that was ridiculous, you and me we know what we're doing, and it's like he's always trying to get in the middle here now. We can manage on our own right now, and Friesen was a big one, while we're busy checking that system, we got him trying to double back to check to shields. And then Jack is so exasperated you and I are trading knowing looks to know he's about to tell him off for sneaking off without protection, but us right now."

"Just what is the problem, are you not allowed to have friends outside of him, Charlie and Lou?" she asked and Jack felt his heart start pounding at that. "Are we not allowed to have a chance to clear the air, and develop a deeper bond, are his ideas the only option, I mean come on really right now. You found me as an adult version to my preteen self, our familiarity snapped back into place, our relationship, I'm like you are with Annie." she said and he nodded to her softly.

"And then there's the fact that we had this conversation a few hundred times, why are they determined to bring back military technology, when we now. In truth get supplied with everything we need from the sextet right now?" he asked and Jacob nodded sternly in agreement. "I heard the conversation between you and John, Jacob, so want to repeat that, as you never considered I flashed once at you, to get you to realize it, I'm the terminal itself here right now."

"But that was a fast test, as though Cronos was dead, my lord Empress, want to tell them the truth?" he asked and Amaterasu nodded. "Colonel Jackson came to see me, before you did this mission, and run it through a training test, the Jaffa on board the ship now. They may have looked like Anubis's, but in reality are mine, like Yu's training game when he took Colonel Jackson, this was another." she said and Hammond nodded gently.

"Keeping it up in training games since we were preparing to combine together, as we activated our pact with you!" Jacob said and she nodded. "Indeed, General Carter, that's what it was exactly." she said and he nodded as he answered Daniel's question. "But our standing orders are to recover technology that can help us defend against the Goa'uld: I'd say this ship falls under that heading, wouldn't you?" he asked and the NID paled at that remark shaking.

"And to answer that, no I don't and as it turns out, Lady Empress has her guard on board that ship, not realizing Thor's consciousness is also still on board." he said and Jack paled at that remark in shock. "I know, I lead you into realizing we got company on board the damn thing, by leaving that symbol on the damn door." he said and they all nodded in relief at that. "And I'm glad you did, or we could have been killed son." he said and Daniel nodded to him gently at that.

"Though you can't interfere directly, you leave your indications and we do the rest, but you're doing what you always did for us." Sam said to him and he nodded. "How could I not, you're my best friends, and sooner or later we would have gotten together, and when we did, Jacob becomes my father in law. And you're my family, so I do what needs to be done here." he said and the quartet all nodded smiling gently at his remark as they and Janet all smiled at that.

"Things never changed and instead got ten times better right now, but with what's coming now in a few days my memories are now focused on everything. Now that we've been through together." he said to her and she nodded. "So this is basically going to be like Teal'C his real path is was us, and our doing what we have to do, as a unit, we do and did everything together." she said and he nodded as he pressed his forehead to her's and she closed her eyes then.

"Well that says it all, a single chance to free him completely from that pact is his focusing on everything we've been through together, before we do this now." Hammond said and Jacob nodded. "In trying to destroy said ship we now got to download his entire mental self into a chip and get it to the Asgard now and with it. As we evacuated the damn thing before we have further problems, and if you were us, you'd be agreeing with me." he said and Jack swallowed hard.

"How could I not right now, in many ways you guys are like Captain Picard, and you always turned to me, for my opinion, before a direct decision here now. As though Jack wanted to use bombs, you came to me first, and I went with the non violent option, as General Landry, and Will said here and repeatedly. He will triumph who knows when to fight, and when not to fight, we've always won because of this." he said and Jacob nodded as the NID swallowed hard at that.

"You and dad, you and General Landry, your opinion matters most, how could I let you down, I can't live with that fact?" he asked and the trio and Picard all nodded. "We know, and you got the relationship with us that the boys have with Jean Luc, it's that simple, to you, our trust and relationship now in truth here. Is what matters most to you, and it always did, but you're our prize pupil, we never been more proud of you." Hammond said and he smiled softly at that.

"This is why I understand you better then this idiot does, I think like you, but we're the most important thing in the world to her." he said and Jacob nodded in stern agreement. "I know son, and you're who I wanted for her, but if not you, then Joey is just as good in total honesty." he said and he looked down and Jacob smiled as Sam also hid a smile at that. "Love you too dad, we may have taken said step back, but you're my family still." he said and Jacob nodded.

"After a minor argument here, we made up and grew closer, and to me you are and were my everything, dad said it directly, if we stayed together now. He'd be a very happy father, to him he never trusted Jonas at all, he's a nutcase, he prefers men like you and Joey." she said and he nodded gently. "What's the problem, our relationship is what mattered to me, and to you, we work well together, to us, our relationship came first here." she said and he nodded softly.

"Anyone pick up on the fact my closest friends are mostly girls?" he asked and she and Janet both nodded. "Yeah and to you, it's easy to get along with us, then it is to him, but it's because we're like you, and know just what it is you're referring to here to understand this." Janet said to him and he nodded. "That's just the problem, Sis, with you guys, I can put this is in our own language, to him it's going to movie metaphors, but we understand each other perfectly."

"You're a scientist yourself, and to both of you, this is in our own language, I can put this in a way dad understands and he does the rest after that now. But everytime we reach a level of why the hell we got a problem he interrupts me, and every time Sam and I are in the middle of a study he interrupts us. And the time we had a single piece of alien technology here, he gets stabbed and pinned to the wall like a butterfly specimen here." he said and she nodded sternly.

"Our 24 hour time frame ended with his ending up pinned to the wall, and while he and I are trying to work out what the hell it is right now in truth now. Is he interrupts us, our being a duo as a duo of scientists, just spending some time alone as brother and sister, and our being what we are finally without it. Said it, a weapon going off with us commandeering your lab, and he interrupts us, it's like he didn't want us turning him in." Sam said and Janet crossed her arms.

"That's the medical lab, after we got to work, and if he hadn't been trying to get it out of the gate, or a direct hand contact, he wouldn't have gotten stabbed." Daniel said to her and she nodded. "But we gave it enough of power boost by getting it close to the gate when it activated right now, that it started going berserk." Sam said to her and she nodded. "So any type of energy is going to give it enough power, like a contagion?" she asked and he nodded to her gently.
