"Ok then," Sam started, "Like I said we come from an alternate reality. In our reality it's the end of the 20th century and we are part of the Stargate Program, which is run by the US Air Force. The Stargate is a device that allows us to travel from one side of the galaxy to another within a fraction of a second due to wormholes. Over the last six years we have been the flagship team and we have travelled to countless different worlds but we have also made enemies. In our reality we are fighting against an enemy called the Goa'uld. They're a parasitical race who take human hosts to rule and control the populations of any planet under their domain and to fight with each other and in recent years us. They have followers called Jaffa who they have genetically manipulated to carry their young. That is what Teal'c is carrying, an infant Goa'uld but if it is taken out Teal'c dies. Our standing mission is to go through the Stargate to locate technologies and allies to aid in our fight against the Goa'uld."
Everyone looked like they were following her ok so Sam continued, "The gate we travel though is part of a network created by a race we call the Ancients and it was a piece of their technology that sent us here."
She stopped and looked Janeway in the eye. The Captain was nodding as she said, "As improbable as that sounds it could be the truth. You said you could prove at least some of your story. How?"
"I know things about you all that you haven't told very many people, if anyone," Sam said quietly.
That got everyone's attention concentrated on her once more; the crew of Voyager had all been looking between the three men as Sam had spoken. Sam looked first at Janeway and began to speak quietly, "When you left earth you left your pregnant dog with your fiancée Mark Johnson." She looked to the Captains right at Chakotay, "You left Starfleet to join the Maquis after your father died protecting his colony. You felt you had to finish his work because you hadn't been speaking when he died." She turned again, this time to Tuvok, "You entered the Star Fleet Academy when you were twenty five but you found it hard to fit in but you stayed since it was what your parents wanted." Now looking at B'Elanna she said, "When you were younger a boy named Daniel Bryd called you Mrs Turtlehead and you got so angry you disengaged the centrifugal governor on the gyro swing and he nearly shook apart." Looking at Tom she continued to say, "When you were growing up you felt like a failure because your father, Admiral Owen Pairs, put a lot of pressure on you to excel." She looked at the final person in the room, Harry, and said, "In the Academy you switched your class schedule so you would have the same classes as one Lyndsay Ballard and even though you hated the cold you let her teach you how to ice skate."
The room was silent for a moment before Jack gasped and whispered, "Carter you're a Trekie," in mock horror.
Sam glared at him but his words brought everyone else out of their stunned silence. Janeway was the first to speak, "Ok, so maybe you're telling the truth about everything, although it still seems highly improbable."
Sam nodded, happy that everyone seemed to believe her. "You said before that your program is run by the US Air Force. So why do only you and Colonel O'Neill have ranks?"
"Because Teal'c has the expertise we need to face the enemy and Daniel is an archaeologist who asked to be part of the team to find his wife who was taken as a host by the Goa'uld. The Colonel is my commanding officer and we are the only two on the team who are part of the Air Force."
That satisfied Janeway, who nodded, before Chakotay asked, "So your team is made up of three warriors and a scientist and you travel to different planets to find technology to help defend your Earth?"
It was Jack who answered. "In a nut shell yes, although technically it's three warriors and two scientists."
"There's only four of you," Chakotay said, confusion clear in his voice.
"Carter counts as both. She's a theoretical astrophysicist as well as a damn fine officer," Jack said proudly. "Which is why I'm hoping she's got one of her brilliant plans to get us home," he added looking straight at her.
