A Set of Jacks

This idea came to me last night and I just had to do something with it, so here's an unplanned additional chapter . . .

Chapter 4

MiniJack and MiniDaniel had only been back at their respective apartments for about an hour when MiniJack disappeared in a flash of white light.

"Greetings, O'Neill," a familiar voice said.

"What's going on, Thor?" MiniJack replied as he noticed a second Asgard ship nearby.

"I wished to inform you that the Asgard High Council had decided to permanently incarcerate Loki, and also to present you with a gift."

MiniJack raised his eyebrows.

"We have learned much about modern human culture since we met the original O'Neill. Since we last spoke, we have realized how much trouble Loki has caused you, no doubt compounded by my initial reluctance to help you."

"It's all good, Thor."

"Nonetheless, I have taken it upon myself to disassemble Loki's ship to make adjustments to our fleet ships. There were parts remaining that I could not use, so I created a small vessel for you?"

"That's my gift? You shouldn't have."

"This vessel does not have the offensive capabilities of ships that you know, O'Neill. For that matter, it lacks many facilities, but I believe what it does have will suit you well."

"Can you show me how to teleport someone up here?"

Thor taught MiniJack how to use a new Asgard device to zoom in on the Earth close enough to see people walking on sidewalks and finally how to teleport MiniDaniel up. Thor spent some time teaching both clones how to operate many of the features available to them, including a set up wristbands that could activate teleportation to and from the ship and to and from any place on Earth.

The next day, MiniJack invited Sam and other SGC personnel to check out the systems and learn from them. Out of respect for Thor's intentions, however, the SGC did not make any alterations to the ship and considered it MiniJack's property. They also could not duplicate the wristband technology without more knowledge.

"I really like the zooming," MiniJack said.

"For your astronomical interests, right?" Sam replied.

"Of course . . . but think of the uses of street view access. I'm surprised no one has developed this type of application for satellites yet."

"Actually," Sam began. "Actually, never mind. You know, it's nice that Thor was willing to give you something like this. Maybe the Asgard will be willing to share more with us in the future. Thor put a lot of thought into this. This ship is completely undetectable. If something like a satellite gets too close to its shield, it simply moves away."

After SGC left, MiniJack and MiniDaniel continued to acquaint themselves with the ship. MiniJack used the zoom on Earth frequently, and eventually noticed a high-speed car chase in Texas.

"All right, Danny Boy, let's see how accurate I can get this . . ."

MiniJack fiddled around with the controls and soon teleported the gas pedal of the offending driver to the ship. Confused about what happened, the fugitive didn't know what to do before the vehicle slowed down and police surrounded it. Later, MiniJack saw a house on fire in New Mexico. Zooming in closer, he noticed two people crouching among the flames and teleported them to the ship.

"What - " one of them exclaimed.

"Oh, don't worry about this," MiniJack told them. "You're just hallucinating from the fumes." MiniJack quickly teleported the pair back to Earth, outside the burning house.

Before calling it a day, MiniJack teleported from the ship leftovers from lunch to a homeless person in Arizona.

"It's great," MiniJack told MiniDaniel during dinner. "I'm a low-key domestic version of my other self. And the medical bay is actually comfortable. If the Air Force wasn't paying for my place here, I'd move up there." MiniJack gave MiniDaniel a look the other recognized.

"Imagine how much I'd clutter the place with books," MiniDaniel simply said.

"All right. Offer rescinded."

I doubt I'll do more with this story. If anyone likes this idea (or others in this story) and wants to pick it up for his/her own story, please feel free to do so.
