Kajos: Here it is. Enjoy it. I'm just glad I finally get to write this.
The two teenagers entered the briefing room followed by the armed guard and sat at the table with SG-1, the General and the bases CMO.
"James. How are you?" Hammond queried.
"Good, thank you sir." He said politely. Hammond just nodded.
"Well good news is we have some allies that might be able to help you"
"They're called the Tollan. Actually it was Jack's idea. Do you want to explain it?" He said looking at the air force general.
"Nah, Danny. You take this one."
"Okay, well we met the Tollan back when we first opened the gate and though they have been very wary of us in the past due to our primitivity we were at one point invited to over see and take part in a trial there between a Goauld and a host that was a friend of ours. They had a device that gave control to the host. We have talked to them and they believe that this technology or something similar can be used to give control to your other personality. Not permanently of course but for long enough to allow us to assess whether they are a threat to us in anyway."
"And they would be willing to do this for me?" Carter smiled at James for his question.
"They would be delighted. They're quite interested in the chance to look further into the technology."
"So, James I've scheduled the mission for tomorrow. You will go along with Sg-1 and Jon to the Tollans planet and they will see what they can do."
"Jons coming as well?"
"Yes, well we thought it might be good to have someone go that wouldn't be on duty the whole time. That and the Tollans when asked said they would be interested in talking to Jon and if he agrees looking at his unique physiology."
"I will consider it sir," Jon said carefully, aware that this was one of the main reasons that he had been allowed on the mission in the first place.
"Is that all then sir?" Jack asked wanting to go prepare for facing a few days with the Tollans.
"Yes, I believe that will be all, Colonel."
"Fine, Daniel make sure McGuyver is kitted out for tomorrow. Jon…sort yourself." They all left with James following Carter from the room he in turn being followed by two airmen,
They stepped out of the smaller Tollan gate and were greeted by Narim.
"SG-1 it is good to see you again and these must be the clone Jonathan and the adolescent James." Both boys glared at him. He instantly understood that they were offended by his words.
"I'm sorry, do these terms offend you in some way." James stopped Jon from talking first with a glare.
"Jon has lived as he is now for two years, he is no longer a clone of the Colonel but an individual in his own right. He therefore dislikes the term clone. Also I dislike being reminded of that fact that my body is not yet fully mature as I feel I am capable of interaction with others on a mature and adult level and that is more important than my physical age." Daniel had briefed him sternly on diplomacy with the Tollan. Narim smiled at him.
"You speak well James and I apologise for any offence caused." He looked them all over. "Now, we should proceed. Our scientists are very much looking forward to meeting the two of you and SG-1 you are as always welcome to walk as you wish."
"I would quiet like to sit in if it's okay with James, to us the human mind is still a mystery and I would be interested to see what your scientists are ding though it doubt I'll understand it." Carter said checking with James and Jack.
"I to would like to stay with James. He is my responsibility." Daniel said as well.
"I expected as much Samantha and Daniel. They are expecting you. O'Neill will you and Teal'c be wishing to join us as well?"
"Actually, I will be keeping an ye on this miscreant." He said pointing to his clone "Teal'c feel like tagging along?"
"I would O'Neill."
"Well in that case if you will all follow me?" He nodded and turned to walk towards the building to one side of the gate. Narim explained it to be there research facility that also was akin to a university to their people. On entering they were met by several people.
"If James, Daniel and Samantha would come with me and Garron, " He indicated to a younger man with blond hair, "we will proceed to his lab. Colonel, Teal'c, Jonathan you may go with Kantar and Pollan to the medical centre, it will not take long for them to gather the data they require. Then I am sure they will be glad to direct you to where ever you may wish to go." The two people he indicated were a tall woman with grey hair and a soft face and a boy not much older than Jon himself whom he took to be a student. They went their separate ways and Jon followed reluctantly to the medical room. Jon really didn't like the idea of the Tollan's poking around in his DNA for the secrets of life.
"Jonathan, first we would like to thank you for agreeing to this. We will try to be as quick as possible for your sake. Now if you would lie on the bed we will begin the scans." Jon did as told lying flat on the bed.
"So doc what exactly is that bed thing going to do?"
"The bed does many things in this case though it is going to scan his bone structure so that we can compare the signs of growth with those of one naturally his age."
"I see." Jack answered actually still having no idea what was going on. The bed glowed briefly and the two doctors muttered. They scanned several more times in the same manner each time muttering for a while after. Teal'c stood by the door while Jack wandered.
"Will you cut that out." Jon complained.
"Cut what out?"
"The walking it's driving me insane. It's not like they're even staring at you and muttering."
"Hey! It's my DNA and I will walk as I please." The docs turned around and looked at O'Neill.
"In fact Colonel if it was not a problem we would be very grateful if we could scan you also for comparison." The Colonel stopped pacing and just stared at them.
"There you go Jack." James said jumping off the table before he could answer. "Help the nice doctors." Jack scowled at him and moved to the bed.
"You are so dead." Jack hissed at him. Jon just smiled as he watched the bed start scanning.
James sat and watched as they pulled something out of a case and held it up to him.
"This is the original device we designed to give the host control over it body." The scientist told him.
"But that's not going to work is it?" James asked.
"Most likely no. But we will try it just in case." He said handing over the silver device and indicating that he put it on over his head. As it sat on his shoulders the gem in the centre glowed green.
"It will take a moment to try and force control to the secondary consciousness." The blonde told him as he fiddled with some controls. After a minute or so the gem flickered before staying a strong green colour. As expected the device can not work with the secondary consciousness. Daniel and Sa watched as James removed the device and handed to back to Garron. "Now we try everything else."
Kajos: well that it because this update is taking forever and going no where fast. I promise the consciousness speaks next chapter. Enjoy and review!
