Chapter 4: Deluxe Juiciness

Daniel was handing out charts. Color coated charts. With diagrams. And bold font.

"General. From what I have learned from the alternate Sam about the device she was sent to study there seems to be a period in the Ancient calendar for enlightenment. The device, when turned on, brings different realities together to share knowledge and solutions. At least that is the mission report, unfortunately she was not able to bring any of the actual writing." He cleared his throat. "Both Sam and Jack here have typed up fascinating reports to enlighten you, their counterparts and me; the highlights of which I have included in every bodies folders today. They discuss the Gou'ald, replicators, and the major events in their realities. Of course it will be CCed and BBCed as need."

Turning to the projector Daniel didn't mean the General's eye. "I thought that for this debriefing however we could discuss social differences, so people would know what to expect and how to react." General Hammond nodded. He knew gossip when it hit him over the head. Daniel brought up the slide show he had spent the afternoon preparing.

"Okay, here we have the basics from Jack's reality. There Sam and Jack are seriously if not officially involved. They have two children, Jacob and Marie, with twins on the way. As soon as Jack returns to the proper reality it is reported that he will be buying a house, a minivan, and an extremely large wedding." Daniel clicked to the next slide, pictures of the children appeared. Jacob had short curly brown hair and blue eyes while Marie had large blonde hair and brown eyes.

He clicked again. "Next in Jack's reality Shaure is still alive and in perfect health. Apparently when I was retrieved after you sir discovered that there was no bomb we had already started a family. So they all came back with me. We have seven children, an old Victorian house and three dogs from the pound." He clicked to the next side and pointed out the different children. "Elizabeth, Samantha, Jonathan, Sarah, George, Janet, and Kirk." Teal'c nodded approvingly from his seat. Daniel clicked the projector again.

"And now we can explain Jack's really not funny joke from this morning. It seems that Janet and Teal'c are also involved. Married actually with three sons. Williams, Brandon, and Daniel." Their smiling pictures appeared in rapid succession. "Interestingly the AU Alpha site has been developed into a real habitable planet so that is where the se Teal'c's are located." Another chart replaced Janet's children's pictures.

"And now Sam's love life." Sam blushed and Daniel cleared his throat. "I mean uh, alternate reality Major Carter's social organization chart." Jack snickered. "Obviously she had Teal'c are involved and 5 months pregnant." He paused. "Congrats you two." He winked making Sam blush even more.

"Jack and Janet are married with two sons, Mark and Patrick" he pushed ahead to a slide that had the boy's pictures and a sonogram on it "and a daughter on the way."

"And finally it seems that I am involved with an Air Force Cadet named Isabelle Wallis. Sam has also generously added that the grapevine has Isabelle two months pregnant and us secretly engaged." He sighed expressively. "Thank you Sam." Turning to face the General he added.

"Less interesting sir is that both realties have defeated the Gou'ald in some way. That information is all in the report." He gestured to the unopened folder sitting in front of Hammond.

Hammond nodded. "Dr. Jackson have you isolated the device that has caused this?" Daniel shook his head.

"Not yet sir but I would like to take a team of specialists to photograph everything planet-side."

Hammond smiled and shook his head. "Do you have any idea what you do to my blood pressure Doctor Jackson?" The young man was about to respond when the old general lifted a hand. "Fine. A small team, I don't want to expose anyone more than necessary and NO touching anything. You understand?" Daniel nodded. "Good you gate out in fifteen minutes."

"Dismissed."
