The other 2 Novum remove their helmets and we see a young boy and girl "This is Jomar and Raina" says Alisana "Please we must speak with the council" requests Alisana "The council?" asks Daniel and Alisana looks at Jomar and Raina and faces back at the screen "This is Terra is it not?" she asks and O'Neill looks at Daniel with his (What's that) look on his face "Earth" says Daniel "Ah" says O'Neill "Yes this is Terra" says Daniel to Alisana "Then you must take us to the council immediately" says Alisana.
"I don't know what you mean, what council?" asks Daniel "The leaders of the 3 races of the alliance" replies Alisana and Daniel thinks for a second then moves to stand closer to the video screen "Alisana I think we should talk in person." says Daniel "Er Daniel" says O'Neill "I don't think they're a threat Jack, I mean look at them their just kids." says Daniel and O'Neill looks at Teal'c and Teal'c gives him the eyebrow "Alright but we do it my way, unarmed and under guard at all times." says O'Neill "They can dock their ship in the bay" says Swanson "Come on board" says Daniel and Alisana agrees to land the ship in the bay.
Sheppard, Teyla, Ronan and Woolsey join Swanson, O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c on board the Alliance in a secure room waiting for the Novum to be checked for weapons and stripped of their armor as a precaution.
The Novum are brought to the secure room wearing jump suits and under armed guard "Take a seat" says O'Neill and they take their seats around a large table while Ronan standing in a corner looking intimidating with his arms folded.
"Why did you remove our suits, are we prisoners?" asks Jomar "We've seen how strong those things are so we removed them, made us feel a little uneasy." says O'Neill "I..I'm sorry where is the council?" asks Alisana "The council of races?" asks O'Neill "Yes, the leaders of the Alterans, Nox and the Furlings." replies Alisana "And the Asgard, don't forget those little guys." says O'Neill "Who are the Asgard" asks Alisana.
The room goes silent and everyone looks around at each other "What is going on?" asks Alisana breaking the silence "The Asgard were a member of the great races you speak of." says Daniel "Were?" asks Raina "The Asgard and Furlings are extinct, the Nox were recently attacked by the Verdain and the Alterans left our galaxy thousands of years ago." Daniel explains.
The Novum look at each other unable to believe what they're hearing "No...that's not possible" says Raina "You're lying" says Jomar "I'm sorry we're not, we're telling you the truth." says Daniel "NO, you're deceiving us" shouts Jomar...then a white light fills the room and Chaya appears "They speak the truth" says Chaya to the Novum.
Alisana, Jomar and Raina jump from their seats and shuffle away from Chaya "What is that?" asks Jonah in a terrified tone of voice as they move backwards to a corner of the room.
"Don't be afraid" says Chaya "Stay away." shouts Jomar "I will not hurt you." replies Chaya and Alisana turns to face everyone "Please. We just want to go home." she says clearly shaken by what's happening. Daniel stands up and walks over to them "It's ok, she won't hurt you" he says reassuringly "She's an Alteran" says Daniel "That's not an Alteran" says Jomar "Yes she is. The Alterans learnt to ascend a long time ago, they...they found a way to shed their physical bodies and live as pure energy on a higher plane of existence, she's what we call an Ancient." explains Daniel.
After a few moments Raina shuffles passed Jomar, Alisana and Daniel and slowly walks toward Chaya and has a good look at her "You're really Alteran?" she asks softly and Chaya smiles at her "Yes." she replies in a soothing tone of voice and Raina smiles back at her then suddenly leans forward and embraces Chaya and begins to cry "We're really home" says Raina.
Jomar and Alisana begin to walk towards Chaya and she looks up and over to them "It's ok" she says while holding out her hand urging them to come over and they move up close to her and Raina and they join the embrace.
While this is going on the rest of the room look at each other in confusion "Err...scuse me" shouts O'Neill from across the room and Chaya, Alisana, Jomar and Raina look at O'Neill as he waves his hands about "I take it you know each other then?" he asks "Yes." says Chaya "That's good...Who are they?" asks O'Neill and Chaya looks at Alisana, Jomar and Raina "These are the Novum" replies Chaya "Yes we got that. Who are the Novum?" asks O'Neill "Our children." says Chaya.
As silence fills the room again, O'Neill turns his head slightly, unsure of what he just heard "Excuse me?" questions O'Neill "Children?" he says. Chaya turns to O'Neill for a second and nods and he pauses for a moment then sits back "Well I didn't see that one coming." says O'Neill.
"What?!" blurts Daniel "Yes, wha..what he said" stutters Sheppard pointing at Daniel "I didn't know Ancients could have children?" asks Woolsey "Children can not be conceived by the ascended" replies Chaya "This is all very confusing" whispers Teyla as she turns to Teal'c "Indeed" says Teal'c "Will someone please explain all this" says O'Neill.
Chaya begins to explain but as she does the other Ancients pull her away and the Novum are shocked "Where did she go?" asks Jomar "Did she leave us?" asks Raina "No, it would seem the others don't want her talking." says Daniel and the Novum look confused unable to understand what is happening "Now that. That I saw coming." says O'Neill.
