Chapter Fourteen: New Contact.
(Kleak, France)
"Iok what is the matter?" Danny asked the Jaffa standing behind him and halting the release of his arrow.
"My King someone has hailed our ship." Iok responded.
'Who in the world is it?' Danny thought to himself.
There should not be any spaceships around this system except his.
"Send it to my contact orb." Danny said.
"As you wish." Iok responded.
"Hello King Daniel." The voice on the screen said.
He could not see who it was for the face was hidden behind a helmet.
Seems his caller wanted to be mysterious.
"Who are you stranger?" Danny asked.
"You may call me The Foreign One." The Foreign One said. "I am a merchant that has something to sell you."
"What makes you think that I would be interested?" Danny asked.
"With your habit of collecting interesting objects and people I have no doubt that my item would interest you." The Foreign One said.
"You certainly sound convinced." Danny said. "What is it that you wish to sell me?"
"I wish to have a private conversation. Let us talk about this in a private room." The Foreign One said.
"You sure have a lot of demands." Danny said.
"It will be worth your time." The Foreign One said. "I would just prefer us to only see each other. Can you take this conversation to a private room?"
"Very well but this better be worth it." Danny said as he placed his hand on the ground and created a dome around him to prevent anyone from hearing his conversation. "There now we can talk privately. What do you want?"
He would trace this call once he was back on his Ha'tak.
"Is there a reason for all this secrecy?" Danny asked.
"I wanted to spare your Jaffa the confusion if they saw my face." The Foreign One said.
What?
"I just wanted to see how you were doing once I learned another version of myself was in this universe." The Foreign One said.
"Can you repeat that?" Danny asked with eyes wide unable to believe what he was hearing.
"I could but I know what you meant. Yes, I am another version of us." The Foreign One said as he removed his helmet.
As the helmet was removed it revealed a face that he saw every time he looked in the mirror though the hair was shorter, dyed blue, and his skin had a rather nice tan.
"I did not expect this." Danny said his hands digging into the ground back but showing no other sign of surprise.
Though it did make sense why he was going by that that name. It fit with their sense of drama and their way of bending the truth.
"We were shattered across time and space. It is no surprise that we would meet each other again. Especially if one went looking for the others." The Foreign One said.
"You can travel between universes?" Danny asked wondering what kind of technology was available to him.
He stared researching the principles behind Quantum mirrors so that he could accomplish something similar, but he was still trying to figure out how to obtain all the materials that he needed to begin. Quantum mirrors are tools created by their ancestors to expand their research. Once activated it would allow a person to access and travel through parallel universes. It was how Daniel Jackson learned of the invasion by Anubis. By the time they were born the method of creating such mirrors were lost and he did not have the access to do more than read about it.
He had been looking for one ever since he had woken up in the Ghost Zone. It was to be his way to keep exploring and possible escape if the need ever arose.
Given what he was thinking about it would be a good exit plan to have.
"I was born into a universe where Vlad had been experimenting with the technology. He went his own way to a universe where there was a Maddie Fenton that would fall in love with him. I was then free to use it however I wish." The Foreign One said.
"So, is this what you wanted to sell to me?" Danny asked feeling excited.
"HAHAHAHAHA. Now that is a funny joke." The Foreign One said. "No. What I wanted to sell to you was D.N.A. samples of species that I have come across in my travels."
"What kind of species?" Danny asked.
"They will not be found anywhere in this universe. I think you and Nirtti would be very interested in them." The Foreign One said.
He was not wrong.
"I am not going to meet you alone." Danny said.
They may have been one person originally but that was no longer the case. The man on the other side of the screen could be the ruler of an interdimensional empire and was scheming to use the original version of him as the opening phase of his invasion.
"That's fine. You can bring guards if you want. I planned on bringing mine. Until then we can talk here about what has happened to the other versions of us." The Foreign One said as he transmitted coordinates for them to meat.
"What has happened to the other versions of us?" Danny asked.
"Depends on what you mean. We have all walked different paths. Some became heroes, some have become villains, others have walked the path of conquest, and some live out ordinary lives with hobbies they find exciting." The Foreign One said.
Seemed that they all have been fulfilling the purpose the aliens had given them. He hoped that they were entertained as they watched them.
"What of you?" Danny asked.
"I do a little bit of it all. I help people that need it, taken over a planet or two, and sometimes I sell interesting things to people that have what I want." The Foreign One said.
"What do I have that you want?" Danny asked.
"You know how to work Stargates. Maybe even build them. I would like that information." The Foreign One said.
"What would you do with such information?" Danny asked.
"That type of technology can be very useful to the right people. Worlds that need to travel vast distances. Others that have the need to flee a dying world." The Foreign One said.
"Give me time to do proper research." Danny said.
"Very well." The Foreign One said. "I will send the information to your ship. Send up a signal when you are ready to negotiate. I will be in this universe for a month."
He needed to talk to the original version of himself to see what they should do.
This could end up being a stressful situation.
