Like Alice through the Looking Glass, this is where you go once you step through the Mirror. :D

See this post (http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost.php?p=6081535&postcount=580) for background information.

Please keep OOC chat to the SG1 Talk thread (http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=18201).

Most importantly - Have FUN!

[Gen Blue]

The man on watch rolled his head around his shoulders. “This has to be one of the most boring jobs on the base.”
His teammate tapped on the silent monitor screen, “We can’t count on the fact that no one has figured out how to use the Mirrors.”
“Especially since it’s been proved that they have been figured out,” their CO’s comment snapped the two guards out of their lethargy.
“C’mon Major, most of our visitors are more interested in getting home than getting acquainted,” the man answered.
“Not all of them, Captain,” the female Lt. countered, “SG10 got to meet up with an Alter-SG1. I would have liked to have sat in on that briefing.”
The major spoke up, “Personally, I’d like to go see if they paid attention to the General’s warning about Earth.”
“Yeah,” Lt. Simms added, “They were under the same mistaken impression that we were. Anubis didn’t want to conquer Earth for our Ancient technology. He wanted to destroy it before we could figure out how to use it.”
There wasn't much to say to that observation. The team sat watching the monitors until the silence became uncomforable.
"How's Ivan doing," Simms asked.
"I haven't seen him since this morning," the Major answered, "He looked kinda rocky then."
"I shouldn't wonder," the captain commented, "It's tough to ..." A beep cut him off. "Somebody is checking out the installation somewhere."
The major straightened up in anticipation, "Let's see if they get it working."
Another tone made him look hopeful, "They're dialing."
Another squad came hotfooting in.
"Take your positions people. Don't fire unless fired upon. One shot only."
He took his post next to the central pillar and started scanning for an activation light on a Mirror. "Hup!," he pointed, "Here we go."

[Colonel Sharp]

Sharp appeared on the other side of the mirror, facing about ten men with guns pointed at him.

"Oh !@#$" He said as the natural instinct of fight or flight went through his head.

He chose flight.

Sharp dived to his right behind another mirror, and grabbed his P-90, catching his breath.

[Gen Blue]

"Hold your fire!" Major Pratt held up a hand to stop his own people from reacting then side stepped to peek at their visitor. He kept his zat pointed more or less at the ground. "We won't shoot if you don't shoot."


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/Jynjyr/Sig%20pics/AU-Ernest-01.jpg

[Colonel Sharp]

Sharp had to think, he heard the 'opening of a zat', which could mean that the man was lying and would just zat him when he stood up, but he heard sincerity in the man's voice.
He waited a few more seconds.

"Okay!" He said standing up, hands off his weapon.

Sharp's jaw dropped as he saw the men had alpha-site symbols on their very Air-force looking uniforms.

[Gen Blue]

Pratt's eyes opened wider at the sight of the newcomer. "Colonel Sharp? Welcome to Xanth, sir."
He looked at the mirror the man had come through, "Is there anyone else's coming?"


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/Jynjyr/Sig%20pics/AU-Ernest-01.jpg

[Colonel Sharp]

"Who..what?" It was too much for him to take in. "Yes, there are many more coming.." He looked at the mirror in anticipation.

"Who.." Suddenly it hit him, he hadn't seen Pratt since a month before Earth was destroyed. "Pratt? Oh my god.."

[SilverRider]

Davis

Getting away from the Mirror as quickly as possible, Claire turned and walked right into Sharp's back, just as he was stammering and landed her butt on the floor.

Looking up she gave a pouted growl, getting herself back on her feet, she brushed out the sand of her uniform. Gazing around, she noticed the room was occupited, "Er....?" she voiced her concern.

[Colonel Sharp]

"Its fine." Sharp said to Claire as she got up. He looked again at Pratt, then back at Claire. It was still a shock to him to see Pratt alive, but he half dismissed the tought, this Pratt was different.. not the Ernest he knew.

[SilverRider]

Davis

Having watched the Colonel go back and froth between her face and another one in the room, she noticed he was in a shock, "Breath easy, Colonel," she advised.

Ashwood

Coming out the Mirror, Kim's first feeling was to get armed, raising her weapon, she looked at Sharp and Davis, "Is everything all right?" she asked as she moved along side of them, not lowering her gun till she was ordered to do so. Seeing Pratt, her jaws dropped, "Holy &*$%" she exclaimed.

((I have made in a way that Ashwood is familar with Pratt's face, is that okay ? :o)

[Colonel Sharp]

(Sure, just so you all know, Pratt was the SG-8 CO Captain Pratt in the mission at the beginning of the RP, not CO. ;))

"No worries," he said collecting himself.

He looked at Ashwood smiling at her reaction, what he had just done moments ago. "Yeah.." Sharp said agreeably.

(Edit: This will be my last post for the night, I'll let people get time to post.. and I'm just extrordinarly tired from getting up at 5:30 this morning, ttyl)

[Gen Blue]

(( He was Captain Pratt in the mission at the beginning of the RP, not CO. ))

[SilverRider]

Ashwood

"You gotta be kidding" she shook her head in disbelife, "But...but..." she trailed off. She had seen Pratt during her time in SGC, but didn't know happened to him. From what she had heard he was one of the finest, get the job done without questions.

Lowering her P90, she looked Pratt, "So..uh..alive here, right?"

Davis

Claire looked her both CO's in bafflement, "Anyone care to fill me in?" she asked, looking a bit lost.

[Gen Blue]

"I gather from your reactions that I'm not alive in your reality, eh?" He didn't seem too disturbed at the notion. He added, almost as an afterthought, "I wasn't for the last visitors either. Unsettling trend."

[Ascended_Elite_mercenary]

Matthews dived out of the Mirror. On the other side, he ran into a few people baring SGC insignias but the men didnt look farmiliar. When Issac entered the room, his first reaction was to raise his P-90 and ask the unidentified personel to lower their weapons. Seeing Sharp as cool as a cucumber, Issac got the hint not to start aggressive negotioations.

"Erm, Colonel? whats going on?" Issac asked Sharp out the corner of his mouth, his eyes still drilled into the assailants and watching their motives.


((OOC Issac was rather a late comer, ie: from training, or taking his time, but he never met pratt. ))

[SilverRider]

Ashwood

She had the urge to say duh, "I guess yea," still reeling from the shock. "Major Ashood" she said giving a slight slaute, "this is," she turned to Davis, "Lieutentant Claire Davis."

Hearing Mattews question, "Well, I think we have meet up with the Alpha Site team." Ashwood said.

[Jynjyr]

Kym came through the Mirror and looked around, startled by the amount of people there. Hearing a familiar voice that she thought she'd never hear again, the woman spun around.
"Ernie!" The delight virtually radiated off of her. "I'd know that cheesy mustache anywhere."

[Gen Blue]

"How many of there are you? We were expecting a team, not a baseball team." He kept his tone light but gave an unobtrusive signal for reinforcements to be standing by out of sight.
Pratt continued his courteous discussion. It was his job to make sure misunderstandings didn't lead to disasters. "Pleased to meet you ladies."
He beckoned to the man and woman who'd been sitting watch. "Most of the rest of SG8. Lt. Elaine Simms and Captain Dan McCoy."

Hearing his nickname shouted, Ernest took a second look at the latest addition to the 'team'. A big grin spread across his face. "Kymmie-sabe? Holy cow!"

Simms rolled her eyes and chuckled, nudging McCoy and muttering, "I'll give you 5 to 3 that she tries to whack him with something before we leave here."


(( OOC - for the non-US, a baseball team is 9 members. You'll end up a football team, 12 members. ))


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/Jynjyr/Sig%20pics/AU-Ernest-01.jpg

[Ascended_Elite_mercenary]

((OOC Theres 18 in aussie football. 11 in cricket. ))

Issac was pretty speechless, he didnt know of "Earnie" and it seemed that there was a bit of "catch up" to be had.

Giving room to breathe, Issac stood up straight again, instead of the prone "ready-to-dive" position. However their was one member, of the "alternate team" that did catch his attention.

"Danny!" Issac shouted, causing most people in the room to turn and watch as Issac raced up to him, beaming with a smile. "How are ya mate?" Issac cooed out-stretching a solid handshake to the Australian mate he knew well of back on Gaia. "Your on SG-8 now?"

[Hulabaloo]

Sarah stumbled through the mirror luckily Claire caught her, straigtening herself Sarah looked up at about ten others in the room. She recognised Pratt a bit from Earth.

[Jynjyr]

Tyler didn't know whether to laugh or cry at hearing the dreaded name. Her friend had only used it when she called his mustache 'cheesy'. Seeing him again, alive and well, was a mixed blessing.
She walked over and held out a hand, "It's good to see you again, Ernie. Face fuzz and all."
She glanced over and caught sight of the other two team members, "Lain? Oh, man. You too?"
Checking the crowd, she asked, "Is Col. Karr going to pop out and tell us to quiet down?"

(( I couldn't find a name for the CO so, I made one up. :) ))

McCoy stepped back and raised his zat, startled at the person rushing towards him. "Whoa! I've always been on SG8. Do I know you?"

[Vincent]

Vincent stepped through the gate, he looked immeadiatly around, no stand off. He lower his P-90 and stayed quite, as he knew absolutly no-one properly in the room. He also kept his guard up a little, anything could happen.

<<Stop being like Ikio, you could never match him for this kind of thing>> he felt his stomach turn a little, prehaps Ikio might be here. Ikio Remo, Alexander Dawnson and a few other SAS troops had become his friends during his time at the SGC, there might be a chance that they would still be here. Ikio had been a quiet sniper, who kept himself to hiself, very good at Recon. Lex had been almost a polar opposite, confident, outgoing. A born leader. They'd all perished in the Goa'uld attack, but just maybe...

[Major Henderson]

On the other side Donna quickly assessed the situation, her p90 had been raised as soon as she reached the other side but now it was lowered though she still had a good grip on it. She seen some zats raised, she kept an eye on them. Moving off to the side she watched what was going on. Seemed they knew some of these people. She watched on listening to what they were saying.

[Somnium]

... Within a blink of an eye Harvey rematerialised on the other side of the mirror. Glad that she'd opted to be facing out as she touched the mirror, it meant she was aware of the situation going on as she arrived. The place was a little crowded as most people hadnt gotten around to moving away from the mirror. There was a tiny moment of confusion and she placed her hand on the Zat in its holster on her thigh, before she realising there was no threat. As the other members of the oversized team moved away she got a clear view of her surrondings, and more importantly the people in it.

Although she'd known there was a possability they'd meet people they knew it was still a bit freaky seeing faces of people she knew were dead. Then it made her think about her family, but they were'nt her family, who knew? She may not have a family in this reality. 'Stopp it' she chastised her self.

Back with the programme, but not quite sure what was playing out she decided with a nice safe "Hey?"

[Gen Blue]

Tyler didn't know whether to laugh or cry at hearing the dreaded name. Her friend had only used it when she called his mustache 'cheesy'. Seeing him again, alive and well, was a mixed blessing.
She walked over and held out a hand, "It's good to see you again, Ernie. Face fuzz and all."
She glanced over and caught sight of the other two team members, "Lain? Oh, man. You too?"
Checking the crowd, she asked, "Is Col. Karr going to pop out and tell us to quiet down?"
Pratt took the woman's hand and gave it a squeeze. He knew she wasn't the woman who'd been his friend, but it was good to see her nonetheless. "Here too, Kym."
He shook his head somberly at her question, "No, I'm afraid not. Colonel Karr died on the same mission that you guys did. Ironic, ain't it? Your teams came to rescue us. You died and we survived."

Breaking off the personal conversation, the Major checked the room, counting the visitors. Turning to Colonel Sharp, he asked, "Twelve? You brought a football team? Why so many?"


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/Jynjyr/Sig%20pics/AU-Ernest-01.jpg

[Ascended_Elite_mercenary]

Gen Blue: McCoy stepped back and raised his zat, startled at the person rushing towards him. "Whoa! I've always been on SG8. Do I know you?"

Issac rushed to a holt as the man only a few meters away activated his Zat weapon and pointed dead straight into Issac's prone position. "Whoa, easy their sunshine!" Issac raised his hands in a defensive nature towards the man who clearly had never met him before. "In my reality, your on SG-3 with Hannah Harvey, Kym Tyler, Jamie Taylor and along with yours truly". Issac gave a smirk at his last "your truly part", as the Danny he would know would laugh at that sort of thing. Issac pointed to each women in the room, to show the alternate Danny just who was on his team. "Your a good mate of mine, and at the moment, your in the infirmary, in a critical condition."

Unsure what else to say to convince the man infront of him, Issac stood motionless, still watching if Danny was going to shoot him for charging at him like he did.

[Colonel Sharp]

Turning to Colonel Sharp, he asked, "Twelve? You brought a football team? Why so many?"

"Well, um." Sharp said slightly embarassed. "Basicly our DHD got on the fritz, screwed up our gate, then exploded. So, now we're here to gate back to the planet, take its DHD, then bring it back to our reality." Sharp slightly smiled before he noticed something, well, everything. He was no longer standing in the ruins of some ancient building, he was in a huge concrete room...
"Um," He said trying to formulate his question so it made sense in both realities.. but what eventually came out was; "Where are we?"

[ Mirror Room ]
Dan slowly lowered his zat, "Sorry, fella. I'm on SG8 with Pratt, Simms and Belousov. SG3 is Major Rhea and company. No Harvey, no Tyler, no you."

Lt. Simms joined them. "Dan, I think these were the people who tried to do a pick-up on us right after Earth was destroyed."

(( Please start using location tags. I didn't expect action in so many different places at once. :) ))

[Colonel Sharp]

Mirror room
Before anyone could answer his question of where they were Sharp jumped in. "So Earth is destroyed here too?" There were so many questions inside him right now, Sharp felt like he was going to explode. He wanted to just sit down and talk with someone.

[Gen Blue]

[ Mirror Room ]
Major Pratt answered the last question first, "Yes. Anubis sent a fleet to Earth. The last report we got was that he had destroyed the Prometheus and was bombing at will. We borrowed a ship from the Iberians and checked. The Solar System has two asteroid belts now." It still hurt to say that simple fact.
Changing the subject, he added briskly, "As soon as Dr. Bystronski's gadgets get here, I'll take you to see General ...," Pratt stopped with his mouth open then continued gloomily, "I'll take you to see Colonel Sharp."

[Colonel Sharp]

Mirror Room
Sharp was not surprised about the destruction of Earth...but "Iberians? Sorry?"

He was also exicted by being able to meet himself, but the pause between General and his name worried him. Was Blue hurt or injured? Sharp bit his tounge.

[SilverRider]

Pratt took the woman's hand and gave it a squeeze. He knew she wasn't the woman who'd been his friend, but it was good to see her nonetheless. "Here too, Kym."

Claire smirked at that. Nice summing of the whole mission, a football team.



"Well, um." Sharp said slightly embarassed. "Basicly our DHD got on the fritz, screwed up our gate, then exploded.

"Plus he needed someone for translations," she grinned, knowing full well it was semi true.

[SilverRider]

Ashwood

Mirror Room


Closing her eyes on the news that Earth was also destoryed here, Kim sighed. Some of the tension that had build, released. Her parents weren't alive here, that saddended her. But what made it worse, that even she wasn't alive, so she assumed. Looking at Zack, she wondered what was, he thinking.

Taking a peek at Davis, and Whitely she wondered if those two would be okay. She didn't know how much the two had lost, but from what she saw in their eyes, time to time, she knew it would be someone close.

"We need to know, who is alive here?" she levelled her gaze at Pratt. "So we know who is going to go," she shaked her head for the effect, "you know, be affected by begin here."

[Jynjyr]

[ Mirror Room ]

Left alone, Kym moved over to where Ashwood and Davis were standing and started examining the room itself. The rock walls had been smoothed with concrete and real doors were hung in the doorways but, the monolithic stone structure of the Mirror installation hadn't changed. "Whoever built this place didn't believe in flimsy, did they? You'd need a crane to lift those blocks."

[Jynjyr]

(( Ooops, forgot to drop Lance and Jaime in here. :o ))
[ Mirror Room ]

Jaime Taylor was more interested in the installation than the people. After one quick check to see if she would be stopped, the woman began following the intricate overlay on the floor to the central pillar. The whole place looked so different without the debris of millenia spread across it.

Lance caught the pack the woman absently shrugged off, and shaking his head, followed behind her. "Scientists," he muttered amused.

[Somnium]

At the mention of Harvey not being on SG3 she wondered if she exsisted in this reality. What about her brother Jack he'd been on what was SG6 before the Earth had been destroyed, had he made it to the Alpha site, was he around here some where? There were so many questions she wanted to ask, but they'd have to wait they had a mission and this reality was only temporary, who ever was here was staying here and there was no use getting attached. She took in the surrondings, the mirrors were layed out the same as the had been back in the ir reality but the surroundings were completly different.

Well it seems they'd managed to find a friendly reality, just as well she hadn't been in the mood to start a fire fight with people who she knew. All the same she planned for the worst, taking notice of layouts and defences.

Thinking out loud with the conversation going on around them Harvey asked "who is Dr. Bystronski, and what are these gadgets we're waiting on?"

[Hulabaloo]

[ Mirror Room ]

Sarah asked Claire, "Know anybody? Or might know anybody?" Sarah glanced around the room taking in those having conversations and others that hung around the corners of the room because they didn't know anyone. She watched those in the room, looking for him. 'Maybe he is here.' she mused. Then, her shoulders sagged at the news of the Earth being destroyed. Maybe she was dead in this reality but he was alive?

[Colonel Sharp]

Now on to your question." Natasha said looking at Ashwood's position. "Actually that won't matter once you wear these devices at all times for as long as you stay in this reality." She said again raising the tray slightly. "They're called LGR and they'll basically create a DNA mask that won't allow this universe to be aware of your presence, eliminating the problem of ECF...Entropic Cascade Failure. So nothing to worry about." She said smiling to reassure the newcomers that everything was OK. "So each one of you can come here and take one. The device will do it's work once activated and for that all you have to do is press it against your skin, anywhere you feel comfortable. I assure you that it stings at placing but there'll be no more disconfort to you after that. Remember if you take the device off for any reason, you'll only have 24 hours to leave this reality before suffering the effects of ECF. So don't loose them." She said in a professional tone. "Also because we'd like to have them back." She added joking.


(wow, lots of people here :D)

mirror room
Sharp stared in amazment at the tray.. he was an astrophysisist, on the side of being a pilot that is, but he couldn't wrap his mind around what these devices could possibly do to stop the effect. He went up and stuck one on his leg. Then looked up at Natasha. "But..how..its..." He took a breath.. this reality was ovbiously farther ahead technology wise then was their reality. "Its not like the universe is a person...looking and checking.. it just...is, I mean unless..." He smiled. He was babbleing like an idiot. Way to represent your reality by acting like a baby learning how to speak..

[Gen Blue]

<<Base: Natasha and Rachel's lab and Mirror Room >>
<snip>
Once they all had their devices attached to the place of their choosing, she spoke again in the same professional tone, holding the tray now empty pressed against her belly. "So if you have any technical questions, you can ask me. If it's more general, you can ask Sharp, our Sharp I mean. Will go meet him as soon as a new team arrives to relieve SG-8 in guarding the Mirror Room to escort us. Standard procedure. You can stand down now. They're not our twins from the evil universe. It's OK." She said the last sentences to Pratt.


[ Mirror Room ]

"I gathered that, Doctor, by the fact that they didn't come through with guns blazing," Pratt rolled his eyes and muttered to Sharp, "Civilians."
He raised his voice slightly, "Sorry for the delay. Some of the folks are running slow this morning. Most of the base was up until the wee, small hours of the morning."

[Atlantean_Fan]

<<Base Mirror Room>>


(wow, lots of people here :D)

"Its not like the universe is a person...looking and checking.. it just...is, I mean unless..." He smiled. He was babbleing like an idiot. Way to represent your reality by acting like a baby learning how to speak..

"I understand your shock in the face of this, Sharp. It's OK." She said feeling simpathetic to him. "Well, let me just say that... If I understood what you meant correctly and I think I have, you're right the universe is not like a person, looking and watching. It just is and acts like that, receiving input and recognizing the likelihood of the elements created in it. That's the source of ECF actually. You increase the entropic energy of a universe by merging it with something that doesn't belong, thus increasing its level of disorder. What I mean is that the universe is like, let's say loosely here, God in the way that it creates everything in it in its own image and inputs its markers on your DNA, so another universe will create markers that don't match with those of yet another one. No markers are equal and they're present in each of our DNAs tethering each of us to the reality that created us, so to speak. That being said, to prevent ECF one must mask the presence of the chaotic element, the marker built into your DNA that makes this universe see you as pieces that don't belong in its chess board. That is exactly what the LGR does. It masks these DNA markers, so that this reality cannot latch onto you, therefore bypassing the increase in entropic energy and allowing the wearer to stay in the alternate universe for an indefinite amount of time." She finished her explanation to Sharp, speaking slowly to get her point across. She then listened to Pratt a little anoyed at his reaction to her words, obviously making fun of her. She couldn't listen to all of it, but she could sense his intention.


[ Mirror Room ]

"I gathered that, Doctor, by the fact that they didn't come through with guns blazing," Pratt rolled his eyes and muttered to Sharp, "Civilians."
He raised his voice slightly, "Sorry for the delay folks. Some of the folks are running slow this morning. Most of the base was up until the wee, small hours of the morning."


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/Jynjyr/Sig%20pics/AU-Ernest-01.jpg


She decided to just let it go. What would she gain picking up a fight? She said nothing, but made sure to let him feel what she was feeling through the look in her eyes. She was irritated at his behaviour towards her. "Yes, Pratt's right. The base's personel stayed up until late last night. I mean the ones that slept at all. Me included." She said, choosing to look at the alter's direction and ignore Pratt, blinking her eyes three times.

[SilverRider]

[ Mirror Room ]

Left alone, Kym moved over to where Ashwood and Davis were standing and started examining the room itself. The rock walls had been smoothed with concrete and real doors were hung in the doorways but, the monolithic stone structure of the Mirror installation hadn't changed. "Whoever built this place didn't believe in flimsy, did they? You'd need a crane to lift those blocks."

Davis

Mirror Room

Claire smiled, "No, Ma'am," she shook her head, "But this place actually looks well maintained." she was impressed. So far all she had seen made her wow, espically the carvings that required translation, if they needcd to be translated.

This place was heaven for lingusits. She grinned. Goodie.


[ Mirror Room ]

Sarah asked Claire, "Know anybody? Or might know anybody?" Sarah glanced around the room taking in those having conversations and others that hung around the corners of the room because they didn't know anyone. She watched those in the room, looking for him. 'Maybe he is here.' she mused. Then, her shoulders sagged at the news of the Earth being destroyed. Maybe she was dead in this reality but he was alive?

Glancing over to Sarah still with a grin in place, she shook her head, "Nope, but somehow I get the feeling that I might meet someone I know or in this case knew." she shrugged. "More exploring," she wiggled her eyebrows.

The news of Earth begining destroyed borthed her, but she wasn't going to be showing it, or getting her hopes up for her father to be alive. She needed a clear mind for this mission, she wasn't going to be side tracked.

"What about you?" she asked.

[SilverRider]

<<Base: Natasha and Rachel's lab and Mirror Room >>

"That would be me actually. Dr. Natasha Bystronski, base chief scientist." She answered to Harvey in a good mood, poiting at herself with her left hand and holding the tray with her right one. She liked to meet with alters, they always brought her interesting technical challenges to solve. "And these are the gadgets you were waiting on." She replied, raising the tray she was carrying slightly.


"Now on to your question." Natasha said looking at Ashwood's position. "Actually that won't matter once you wear these devices at all times for as long as you stay in this reality." She said again raising the tray slightly. "They're called LGR and they'll basically create a DNA mask that won't allow this universe to be aware of your presence, eliminating the problem of ECF...Entropic Cascade Failure.

"Also because we'd like to have them back." She added joking.

Each one of the alters came in her direction to take their LGR devices. When the group dispersed a little more because of this action, Natasha noticed someone among them and sighed deeply, trying to continue to be professional and leave her feelings aside. After all, they were alters and they were all going to leave as soon as their business here was over.

Once they all had their devices attached to the place of their choosing, she spoke again in the same professional tone, holding the tray now empty pressed against her belly. "So if you have any technical questions, you can ask me. If it's more general, you can ask Sharp, our Sharp I mean. Will go meet him as soon as a new team arrives to relieve SG-8 in guarding the Mirror Room to escort us. Standard procedure. You can stand down now. They're not our twins from the evil universe. It's OK." She said the last sentences to Pratt.

"Amazing," she exclaimed, admiring the device before placing it on her wrist, the device itsself was soo small, she wondered how it mask the DNA, "Were these found or made?" she asked.

[Colonel Sharp]

[Our Sharp= Mirror room]

Sharp nodded at what Natasha was saying.

"So basically you could bring inanimate objects too and fro with no objections.. its just." Sharp nearly smacked himself on the forehead. "Aaaaand thats how were getting a new DHD." He paused. "Thats amazing.."

For Issac, it was an odd feeling to see and old friend disregard you. Danny seemed to give a quick "I dont know who the hell you are" and moved on.

Also the fact that Issac wasnt recgonized by the Military here was disturbing. "What in the hell am i doing then?"

Not after long, a Dr Natasha Bytronski entered the room. Issac did'nt recognized her from the Original base, but then again, he never really got the chance to meet everyone at the base. She gave everyone a bright "hello" and "welcome" sort of attitude, however seemed to ingore Issac after one look. After "trying" to chase women around in his adolescents, he got a sort of hint that something was up. Natasha then spoke of these gagets that would make the team resistant to the "EFC's" effect. Issac took onboard the basic understanding of what the devices are for. Issac was plagued by his thoughts on the AU world. "Just how many Mirror vistiors do they get? it seems routine for them to give these gagets out..."

After Sharp and a few others steped up and chose places for the device, Issac stumbled up slowly, and seemed that Natashya wouldn't look the Captain in the eyes or make eye contact. "Can i have it on the back of my hand please?" Captain Matthews asked with a courteous voice, Rasing the back if his right hand to the good Doctor. With a small prick feeling into his hand, the device went on smoothly. "Thank-you Natasha" he said with a warm smile included.

((OOC ill edit if it doesnt fill the criteria.))

<<Base: Natasha and Rachel's lab and Mirror Room >>
She left the lab with the tray in her hands, letting the safe lock of the room do the job of closing it for her. She took the stairs to get there faster without having to wait for elevator. It was just two floors anyway. When she entered the Mirror Room, she saw her football team of alters talking to SG-8. She overheard some of it as she got close. Her lab coat floating in the air due to her fast pacing, let them see the simple clothing she was wearing underneath it: a pair of light blue pants and blouse and simple closed black leather boots.

"That would be me actually. Dr. Natasha Bystronski, base chief scientist." She answered to Harvey in a good mood, poiting at herself with her left hand and holding the tray with her right one. She liked to meet with alters, they always brought her interesting technical challenges to solve. "And these are the gadgets you were waiting on." She replied, raising the tray she was carrying slightly.



"Now on to your question." Natasha said looking at Ashwood's position. "Actually that won't matter once you wear these devices at all times for as long as you stay in this reality." She said again raising the tray slightly. "They're called LGR and they'll basically create a DNA mask that won't allow this universe to be aware of your presence, eliminating the problem of ECF...Entropic Cascade Failure. So nothing to worry about." She said smiling to reassure the newcomers that everything was OK. "So each one of you can come here and take one. The device will do it's work once activated and for that all you have to do is press it against your skin, anywhere you feel comfortable. I assure you that it stings at placing but there'll be no more disconfort to you after that. Remember if you take the device off for any reason, you'll only have 24 hours to leave this reality before suffering the effects of ECF. So don't loose them." She said in a professional tone. "Also because we'd like to have them back." She added joking.

Each one of the alters came in her direction to take their LGR devices. When the group dispersed a little more because of this action, Natasha noticed someone among them and sighed deeply, trying to continue to be professional and leave her feelings aside. After all, they were alters and they were all going to leave as soon as their business here was over.

Davis

Mirror Room

While she waited for the reply, she half listened to what Dr. Bystronski was saying. Override the DNA. Did that mean that she was alive here too. If she was, surely someone would have recongized her by now.

Picking up the tiny device, she sighed. Wasn't her this self in military or a cilivan even? Shrugging of the nagging doubt, Claire also picked one up of Whitely, "This one is for," she pointed at Sarah, "Lieutentant Whitely." she smiled at the woman.

"Amazing," she exclaimed, admiring the device before placing it on her wrist, the device itsself was soo small, she wondered how it mask the DNA, "Were these found or made?" she asked.

"Made actually. It's a long story better left for later though." Natasha answered Ashwood the simple, short answer. If the Major asked more, she'd think about telling her more.


[Our Sharp= Mirror room]

Sharp nodded at what Natasha was saying.

"So basically you could bring inanimate objects too and fro with no objections.. its just." Sharp nearly smacked himself on the forehead. "Aaaaand thats how were getting a new DHD." He paused. "Thats amazing.."

"New DHD? Is that what you came for?" Natasha asked a little bit unbelieving and it was clear in her tone of voice. She was expecting a challenge and they came for a DHD. That was the greatest disappointment she had had with an alter in a while.


Mirror Room

Not after long, a Dr Natasha Bytronski entered the room. Issac did'nt recognized her from the Original base, but then again, he never really got the chance to meet everyone at the base. She gave everyone a bright "hello" and "welcome" sort of attitude, however seemed to ignore Issac after one look. After "trying" to chase women around in his adolescents, he got a sort of hint that something was up. Natasha then spoke of these gadgets that would make the team resistant to the "EFC's" effect. Issac took onboard the basic understanding of what the devices are for. Issac was plagued by his thoughts on the AU world.

With a small prick feeling into his hand, the device went on smoothly. "Thank you Natasha" he said with a warm smile included.

Natasha froze when Isaac started to come towards her for his LGR, but she knew that had to happen. She listened to his request to place his LGR on the back of his hand and she did so trying to touch him as less as she could and plastering (sp?) an obvious fake smile on her face. She could feel he was already on to something. "You're welcome." She replied coldly, trying desperatly to remain emotionally unattached, trying to cope with the situation internally. 'I don't believe this is happening to me again. I hate you! Alter you is even trying to flirt with me...again. Well, he's not you, I have to remember that. What did I do to deserve this?' She thought as the memories hurried through her mind and the pain filled her heart once more.

Natasha could only smile at the two young women. It made her feel better after what had just happened with alter Isaac and forget about the wounds that having the multiverse on your backdoor can open. 'They seem so inocent. I wish I could stop thinking again. Just be me and enjoy myself like they seem to be doing.' She thought watching the two lieutenants bicker (sp?) with each other.

[SilverRider]

Davis

Claire looked at Natasha, then the device, she wanted to ask her a question, but wasn't sure how to apporch it. Biting her lip, she took a deep breath and asked anyway.

"I was wondering..if....uh..." she stammered, "my self in this reality, is...uh...alive? I know it a dumb question, but I'm only aking due to..." she held up the device that was in her hand. "I'm Lieutentant Davis," she held out her other hand.


Ashwood

Looking at Natasha, Kim's jaw's dropped, "Made?" she said, in full awe. "That's well...amazing," she grinned.

Natasha shook Davis' extended hand and said bitterly, shaking her head. "I'm sorry."



Ashwood

Looking at Natasha, Kim's jaw's dropped, "Made?" she said, in full awe. "That's well...amazing," she grinned.

"Yeah. It was a tough joint project." She replied without giving it much thought, hoping Ashwood would let it go.

Mirror Room

Giving the hand a slight shake, Claire's eyes widened. She was dead here, no wonder no one reconginzed her. "Oh," she said softly, not being bortherd by the traces of bitterness in Natasha's voice, "Thanks."

If she was dead, so that meant so was her father. Sighing, she smiled at Natasha, "Will return them soon," she said refering to the device as she placed on her arm.

Ashwood

Mirror Room

"Nice," she nodded at Natasha, looking at Daivs's reaction to Natasha's reply, Kim, felt for her, warpping her arms around the lieutentant, Ashwood, nodded a thanks to Bystronski, before guiding Claire towards Whitely, talking to her softly.

[Atlantean_Fan]

Natasha watched Ashwood and Davis go to Whitely's position and followed. "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to upset you." She said throwing the tray over a nearby table and putting a hand over Davis shoulder, feeling heartbroken now which certainly wasn't helping Lt. Davis at all, but she couldn't avoid feeling that way. She was used to alters saying that she was non existent, dead and even ascended once, but others may not be. She had to make an effort to remember that sometimes. "By the way, do I exist in your universe?" She asked curious, trying to lighten the overall mood.

Daivs

"Oh, no," Clare shook her head, "I'm not upset about me being dead," she looked away, "I ...I was kinda hoping that my dad...you know would be alive. I might say goodbye, get a clousure or something," she shrugged.

As for Nat's question, "Yea, you are. Your a Captain in one of the SG teams, can't remember which though."

[Atlantean_Fan]

Daivs

"Oh, no," Clare shook her head, "I'm not upset about me being dead," she looked away, "I ...I was kinda hoping that my dad...you know would be alive. I might say goodbye, get a clousure or something," she shrugged.

As for Nat's question, "Yea, you are. Your a Captain in one of the SG teams, can't remember which though."

"Then I've got a better answer for you this time, Major Davis is pretty much alive and well here and he lives in the base." She answered smiling, her mood considerably improved.

"I can't imagine myself as a military person at all. That's odd, although not the first time I got this info. So I'm on a team? At the SGC? Like in that other reality?" She asked still curious, but somehow sure to receive a negative answer.

((OOC - She wasn't in the room when Sharp said no Earth in your universe too, so she doesn't know. I think it's OK to say his alive right? You've posted as him already. I imagine you read my post on the talk thread, so you know her from SGC times long ago or not at all.))

Davis

"Oh my god," She exclaimed as the shock sink in, "He...He..." was all she could manage, before a train of tears rolled in. Looking at her best friend and team mate, Claire wanted to be assured that this wasn't a dream. When Whitely smiled and gave a squeeze, Claire knew this was all real, then let out the tears that were held for far too long.

She had missed him like h3ll, as to he was all she had back one Earth. But here, he was alive, to her that all that mattered. As her grief tired to take over, she felt another friendly arm taking her for comfort, looking through her tears, Claire could make out Zack's face, burying herself in his chest, she sought the comfort that she longed for and only he could give.

Ashwood


Seeing that Davis was in a shock and the state of her, she aswered the spoken question. "Yes, as Davis said your a Captain in our reality on SG-8."

She herself had no clue as how to help Daivs, due the fact she was still getting over the news that Pratt had given earlier. Knowing that shew was likely to be dead, Kim knew she would have to get use to that, like Claire, she wasn't upset at begin dead, but knowing the ones you loved are dead, that was hard to get used to.

Snapping out her trace, she noticed that Zack was comforting her, sharing a knowing look with Whitely, Kim smiled. It was about time that these two got together, if ever.


((It's okay to tell her, she will find out sooner or later anyway, just don't say anything about Micheal, yet ;). Yea, we're aware of Natasha, but haven't had a chat with her yet :p. Sorry to post soo late, my net is giving me a headache, by begin too slow and stubborn :())

Kym took one of the DNA maskers and bounced it up and down in her hand. Someplace where it won't get knocked off, eh? Pulling out the neck of her tee-shirt, the woman stuck it high on her chest. "That should work, right?"
Getting reassurance, she then wandered over to Simms and McCoy.
"Had a wild party last night, huh? Sorry I missed it."
"It was a wake," Elaine answered flatly.
Kym felt her face flush in embarrassment at her faux pas. "I'm sorry. Who died?"

(( Somebody had to ask. :) ))

(Major Josh Ezekiel-mirror room)

After the passing out of the LGR, Major Ezekiel walked in with SG6. "Major Pratt, sorry for the delay in getting down here to relieve you. My team and I are running a little late this morning." He looked around at the 12 extra people, he recognized some of them, but a few he did not. "I see we have more visitor from."

He look through all the faces again trying to figure out which ones would meet there doubles here and which ones wouldn't I wonder why so many of them came, most of the time it is only a few I don't remeber it ever being more than 5 or 6. I can't ever recall 12 ever coming through, he thought to himself.

He glanced over at Natasha and than saw Matthews, he could tell she was slightly uncomfortable, but knew Rachael was always there for her friend. He look around the room, Where is Rachael she is always here to meet the alters.

Claire smiled, "No, Ma'am," she shook her head, "But this place actually looks well maintained." she was impressed. So far all she had seen made her wow, espically the carvings that required translation, if they needcd to be translated.

This place was heaven for lingusits. She grinned. Goodie.



Glancing over to Sarah still with a grin in place, she shook her head, "Nope, but somehow I get the feeling that I might meet someone I know or in this case knew." she shrugged. "More exploring," she wiggled her eyebrows.

The news of Earth begining destroyed borthed her, but she wasn't going to be showing it, or getting her hopes up for her father to be alive. She needed a clear mind for this mission, she wasn't going to be side tracked.

"What about you?" she asked.

Sarah shrugged, "Not as far as I know, but I guess there's always a chance..."


*Claire finding out about her dad*

Sarah squeezed Claire's shoulder and smiled at her, but this wasn't enough. Claire turned to Zach and Sarah could only watch on worriedly, hoping for Claire to be fine.

Accepting the LGR Sarah attached it to her wrist. Then she turned to Natasha and asked,
"Am I dead too?" Even though Sarah thought she knew the answer was no, she wanted to know to be sure.

[Major Henderson]

Donna turned round as the device was offered to them. She had been looking around the place not to bothered with the little reunions that were going on. Picking up one of the devices she looked at it in detail, looking at what seemed to be the underside of the device. She listened closely to the explanation of how the thing works and ran it over in her head a few more times. It makes sense... I think. Noticing the others had already placed the deviced. One last look at the device she pulled up her sleeve and placed it on the underside of her arm. Twisting her arm a few times she pulled the sleeve back down. Resting her arms on top of her p90 she looked around again. Wonder if am alive here and what am up to. She thought of the number of different possibilities.

[Atlantean_Fan]

"Oh my god," She exclaimed as the shock sink in, "He...He..." was all she could manage, before a train of tears rolled in. Looking at her best friend and team mate, Claire wanted to be assured that this wasn't a dream. When Whitely smiled and gave a squeeze, Claire knew this was all real, then let out the tears that were held for far too long.

"Today is not my day. I don't know what to say to you." She knew Davis was feeling that mixed emotion of happiness and sadness and came to the conclusion that Major Davis was no longer alive in their universe. She decided to say no more in order the let things calm down on their own, always the best thing to do in cases like this.


She had missed him like h3ll, as to he was all she had back one Earth. But here, he was alive, to her that all that mattered. As her grief tired to take over, she felt another friendly arm taking her for comfort, looking through her tears, Claire could make out Zack's face, burying herself in his chest, she sought the comfort that she longed for and only he could give.

Snapping out her trace, she noticed that Zack was comforting her, sharing a knowing look with Whitely, Kim smiled. It was about time that these two got together, if ever.

The only thing Natasha could think as she saw the scene between Davis and Black was that it was right and she smiled at them just as their friends did. 'This two were always a beautiful couple. Somethings transcend the boundaries of the universe and the human spirit is one of those things. Does it mean? No, he didn't seem to even know me from their reality at all. Does it mean we were never meant to be? No, I don't acept this!' She thought as she continued to watch the scene.


Ashwood

Seeing that Davis was in a shock and the state of her, she aswered the spoken question. "Yes, as Davis said your a Captain in our reality on SG-8."

"Interesting. So your Earth is still in one piece? That's nice." She said having mixed feelings of happiness and grief at the news. After all, she asked if she was in a team on the SGC, therefore Earth, and the answer was affirmative.


Accepting the LGR Sarah attached it to her wrist. Then she turned to Natasha and asked,
"Am I dead too?" Even though Sarah thought she knew the answer was no, she wanted to know to be sure.

"I'm sorry, but I can't say either way since I personally never met you. Well, I can hardly say I know everyone on the base or the towns though. I'm a workaholic and have a kid at home. That doesn't leave a lot of time for socializing." She shrugged, saying it in the most cordial tone she could find to mask her total lack of knowledge of the woman in front of her and added to reassure her and not have another person crying in the room. One was already enough for her to handle. "It's fairly possible that you're alive though."

[Somnium]

Harvey took her turn and stepped up to the doctor, "Are these safe? I mean long term." She turned the device over in her hand. She knew they must be but the question hadn't been asked by anyone yet. She hesitated as the question was answered then not wanting to be the awkward member of the team fixed the device in place on her bicep under her shirt.

She had many questions herself, but with everyone else busy asking theirs she wasn't sure how to ask. No doubt there would be time later, then she might get a more detailed answer.

[Atlantean_Fan]

"Sure they are. There's nothing to worry about. Unless you loose it of course as I explained." Natasha replied with certainty in her voice as Harvey implanted the device on her arm.

[Somnium]

"Ok got the don't loose it part" she smiled and stepped back. She made her way over to Sharp and whispered "this all seeems a little too easy" she hated to be cynical, but during the various ops she'd been on you soon learnt that it could save not only your life but that of your team.

[Hulabaloo]

"I'm sorry, but I can't say either way since I personally never met you. Well, I can hardly say I know everyone on the base or the towns though. I'm a workaholic and have a kid at home.

Sarah nodded and thanked Natasha for her help. Natasha then walked over to help someone else and Sarah turned to Zach and Claire, to make sure they were okay. Kim and Sarah shared a 'moment' of thinking that they should be together and smiled ((Bit late i know. :o )).

[Jynjyr]

Simms shook her head at Tyler, "You always were one to stick your boot in it, weren't you?" She tapped the black band on her arm, "General Belousov. Two days ago. The funeral was yesterday evening."

Lt. Elaine Simms - SG8
Kym's stomach flip-flopped as her sub-conscious connected the dissimilar names. This news on top of the revelation that herself and most of her team were dead took her breath away.
"I'm sorry, guys," she whispered, touching Elaine on the shoulder. She didn't know the General well but, what she did know from her own reality, she liked and admired.
In a daze, she moved over to her commanders to report this intel. "Colonels, something you need to know, I think. Blue's dead. His name was Belousov here."
Looking around the room, Kym finally registered that everyone in uniform wore the same black armband below their PoO patch.

[Colonel Sharp]

[Our Sharp-Mirror Room]

"Colonels, something you need to know, I think. Blue's dead. His name was Belousov here."
"Blue...dead?" He couldn't beleive it. Suddenly he looked back at the mirror, wondering if the same fate befell there general... Nah, couldn't be, you saw him alove and well a few hours ago..

He turned to the group. "I'm sorry to hear about bl, Belousov.." He let his sincere alpolgy sink in before jumping in again. "But we need to talk to who ever is in charge, the people in our universe are waiting on us to bring this bad boy home.."

"Thank you, sir," Pratt nodded gratefully, "And as to who's in charge, you are. At least our version of you."


(Major Josh Ezekiel-mirror room)
After the passing out of the LGR, Major Ezekiel walked in with SG6.
"Here's my relief team and we can get moving." Raising his voice to be heard over the babble, Pratt announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be walking about a kilometer to the ... Colonel's office and briefing room. We would request that you stow your gear in the cart outside the door. Sidearms are allowed."
In a lower tone, he added to Sharp, "We aren't confiscating your weapons, sir. The cart will be in your possession. It's basic security since we have some native youngsters around the base."

[Our Sharp- Mirror Room]
Sharp was struck dumbfounded for the Nth time in the last hour. "I'm in charge?" Sharp said quietly to himself, thinking about what would happen if the General died in his reality, it would leave him in charge...he shook the thoughts off as he nodded to Pratt.
Children on the base?!

He put his p-90 on the cart, and nodded for the others to do so.

"Today is not my day. I don't know what to say to you."

Giving a smile to Natasha, from where she was, "Not my day either."

Which wasn't far from the truth. So far thing went sorta smoothly for her.


"Interesting. So your Earth is still in one piece? That's nice." She said having mixed feelings of happiness and grief at the news. After all, she asked if she was in a team on the SGC, therefore Earth, and the answer was affirmative.

As her grief tired to take over, she felt another friendly arm taking her for comfort, looking through her tears, Claire could make out Zack's face, burying herself in his chest, she sought the comfort that she longed for and only he could give.


Davis

Mirror Room

Pulling herself away from Zack's embrace, she nodded to him, getting away and closing herself to the pain that was yet to come was the only thing she wanted to do.

Walking over to the wall where the anicent writing was she knew that would keep her from thinking and feeling. Hearing the heavy footsteps follow her, Don't Zack, don't, I'm not yet myself.

She closed her eyes, when she felt his hands on her shoulders. Sighing she turned to look at him.

[SilverRider]

Our Doctor Zack Black

Mirror Room

Zack had been mildly surprise to have her leaving his embrace, he was baffled as to why she looked greifsticken. He knew it wasn't the time to be asking questions when she was asking for comfort.

Placing his hands on her shoulder, he saw her turn. "Hey, it's okay," he cupped her face, with one hand and wiped the tears with the same thumb. "We will get through this together," when she shook her head, Zack he knew had to be a bit stren, "We are team along with them," he pointed to Sarah, Kim and Chris. "You will let us help you, right?" he gazed into her green eyes, feeling the tug, he always got when, he saw those eyes.

Getting a nod of her, he smiled, "Good."

Matthews took his device from Dr Bytronski without question, yet again, she would'nt look or talk to the Captain. Issac decided to confront the Doctor, maybe then would the strange atmosphere between them would cease to excist. "Is something the matter Doctor? have i something on my face i should know about?" Issac asked jokingly, giving the the usual snicker on the end of his words. However the Doctor simply ingnored him further, and moved on to talk to the next person to receive the gadget.

Issac stood to the side, and listned the the newest revelations. "Ill talk to her alone later i think." Matthews thought to himself. Issac only spoke up to hear that Belusov had been killed, and that Sharp was in command. "Sharps in command?" Issac muttered out loud. "Has the actobatics gotten better?" Issac asked Rehtorically, looking back to Kym to see if she would give him the pleasure of knowing if Tyler was going to bite back at Issac's remark. However Issac realized that could of been extremely insulting to to Belusov memory and would'nt want to offend the other reality people.

Before long, the team was ordered to Give up their weapons and go to meet Sharp in his office. Keeping his Sidearm, Issac decided to leave the Ancient rod in his pocket too. Ever since he steped through the mirror, the rod was moving by itself, and glowing, plus Allurai's prescence could not be found.

Issac thought it best, that the others didnt see a glowing, ancient rod left on the side of a weapon cache. Issac stood awaiting to be lead to Sharp's office.

After hearing for the Visting reality to gather to be lead to Sharp's Office. "Sharp's Office?" she asked Zack, who just shrugged.

Leaving their weapons, Claire and Zack meet up with Issac, Sarah and Kim who were already waiting for more orders.

[ Mirror Room ]

Sarah watched Claire and Zachs exchange of words with a smile. Then she turned and joined Kim with Sharp. She then surrendored her weapon and watched Claire and Zach walk over.

[Jynjyr]

Unclipping her pack, Tyler stood it against the inside of the cart and tucked her P-90 behind it. Weird restriction. You'd think they'd disarm us totally, not just take the heavy stuff. She thought again of the terrain. Of course, if they have people with high power rifles on the cliff, we're toast.
Kym strolled over to where Matthews was standing. "I saw you with McCoy before. You gotta remember that he's not the McCoy that's on SG3. H3ll, we're not even SG3. We're dead and have been for quite a while, it seems."
She wiggled uncomfortably, "That just sounds so wrong."

Sharp didnt reply to Harvey's comment and she wasnt sure how to take it. Maybe he hadn't heard her, maybe he was ignoring her, maybe he just didn't have an answer. Anyway they were ready to move, as the others before her had done she placed her pack and reluctantly her P90 on the cart. Thankgod they weren't asking her to totally disarm or she'd feel naked!

[Major Henderson]

Taking off her pack she walked over to the cart and dumped it in, then unclipped her weapon making sure the safety was on and placed it with the others in the cart. Keeping her side arms she checked them, zat on the left barreta on the right. Still staying quiet she followed the others. It worried her when eveything seemed to be going smoothly, reason being in her experience it always ended up with something going wrong.

'Poor Isaac, he's so desperate to understand why I'm treating him like a jerk, but I can't deal with this now nor later nor ever! Not thinking about it is what kept me sane and I have to stay sane for Varia. She only has me.' She thought, deciding to give attention to Davis.

Mirror Room

She shook her head sadly, "No, Earth is destroyed in our reality as well."

"That's unfortunate, though not unexpected really." Natasha answered normally, almost in a "I don't mind" sort of way since she never really felt at home anywhere in her life and to be honest, she was still trying to find her place in the universe even now.


Davis

Mirror Room

Giving a smile to Natasha, from where she was, "Not my day either."

Which wasn't far from the truth. So far thing went sorta smoothly for her.

Natasha gave the young woman a sympathetic smile in return and turned away from the scene. It was a little disturbing for her to be close to Davis right now because her feelings were a little unsettling and she couldn't handle all the emotional facts of her own situation. Not to mention that braking down at this point was not an option at all. The more she could shut herself off from any and all emotions, the better.

As she always does when she can't handle her heart, she turned for help to her brain and decided to occupy herself as the team of alters disposed their gear in the cart as requested. She went to the monolithical central part of the mirror complex and tempered with the control crystals, downloading the recorded data of the last activation into a tablet PC, usual equipament for the mirror room. Once the data was in the tablet, she went on to calculate the exact set of 'mirror coordenates' to take these alters home to their reality when they were ready to leave. The sooner, the better for her overall mental state. All the base grieving the death of General Belousov was bad enough for her to deal with, she didn't need a problem of her own.

Kim nodded, they all had come to this reality, knowing that Earth might be destroyed. But it had been a suprise to find an Alpha site Team. So far out of all them Daivs had the most shock.

She did feel a little sad at hearing about Blue's passing, but knowing that anothe version of him was incharge, she relaxed a little.

Along with Whitely, headed towards Mattews, after leaving her weapons in the room and waited to be escorted to the base for meeting. "Waiting sucks," she muttered, earning a look from Whitely.

She was more of a action person then say compare sit and talking types.

Sharp didnt reply to Harvey's comment and she wasnt sure how to take it. Maybe he hadn't heard her, maybe he was ignoring her, maybe he just didn't have an answer. Anyway they were ready to move, as the others before her had done she placed her pack and reluctantly her P90 on the cart.
Sharp looked at Harvey innocently, before saying; "Oh," And walking over to her, muttering into her ear.

"Look, I know your meant to be on your gaurd, and you should be, but I'm getting an righteous, friendly vibe from these people. And why would they possibly want to harm us?"

Matthews stood and awaited orders, he noticed that Kym stood close and talked in a hush, as so only they could hear each other. Issac replied back to Kym's words. "Yeah, its was stupid of me. I wont make the same mistake again." Matthews shuddered along with kym at the fact that they (SG-3) were dead, it was a hard fact to swallow indeed. Matthews turned back to Kym and lowered his head towards her ear, in order for only the two of them to hear. "I gather im not the only one who feels on edge here?" Issac notioned his head towards the AU McCoy, he freely talked with the SG-8 team, and still had his hand on the Zat he was all to happy to show Issac previously. "I got sort of a bad feeling about this" Issac whispered slitely to Kym, giving the Alternate McCoy a sort of spiteful look.

Issac stood close to the weapons clearance area next to Kym, Davis and Whitely. "Waiting does suck" Issac muttered in repliance to Davis.

SilverRider :"I agree, Captain," She gave a chuckle, swinging in her heels. "I wonder who else is around?" she mused thoughtfully.

Issac had to have a think at Ashwood's remark. "Well, we've heard and seen most of the shocks of today i think." Matthews said giving a chuckle.The Captain contuined thinking about McCoy's reactions, coupled with the General's depature of the mortal coil, plus having Sharp in command, it was all a shock. "I dont think were going to see anyone we dont already know" he said as he gleamed over to Ashwood.

Embarassingly, Matthews let an almighty gurgle escape from his stomach. "Lets hope their not shy on the hospitality!" Matthews exclaimed, gripping his stomach with discomfort. "Those Rat packs take their toll on the old body, maybe these people could care to shout us a dinner?" Matthews said enustasticaly to the people surrounding him.

"It would give us a chance to ask all the questions we would want?" Matthews let the idea of a meal sink in to the other around him.

Harvey nodded to Sharp "your call." She respected Sharp the man had alot of operational experiance and always seemed to come out on top. Harvey mingled in at the back, it seemed she wasn't the only one feeling uneasy.

[Vincent]

<Mirror Room>

Vincent stood back, he;d attached the DNA masker eventually, once he was sure it had no malicious intent, and put his pack with the rest. Vincent agreed with Issac's view, eating was one of the most important things right now. He was still quiet, it was unconfortable, he didn't know most of these people anyway, and knowing they were dead in his... reality didn't help.

[Gen Blue]

Pratt checked around the room to see if all of the alters had dropped off their weapons and packs. Early on they'd made that one of the prerequisites to leaving the Mirror room after a group, not Tau'ri, had panicked and started firing on the natives.
He could sense the tension still radiating from some of them but, couldn't do anything about it. Only time would erase that. Time and assistance with their hunt for a new DHD. He smiled to himself. SG8, as the first contact team, had the option of going with them.
Turning to the alter-Sharp, he said, "Colonel, please make sure your people stay together. The natives who live in this part of the ravine don't appreciate strangers wandering around and we don't want another incident."

(( We'll be moving out shortly. ))

Kym followed Issac's glance toward McCoy. Playing devil's advocate, she asked, "If the situation was reversed, if someone you didn't know rushed you, wouldn't you react the same way?" She tipped her head sheepishly, "I was lucky that Pratt knew the other me."
Glancing around the room, she added, "Hey, they obviously knew someone was coming. They could have zatted us immediately and asked questions later."

Major Josh Ezekiel- Mirror Room

Josh had stood to the side of Pratt than helped a few of the new comers with loading there bags on to the cart. He walked up to Kym Tyler and helped her with her bag. He didn't notice who it was at first.

She nodded thanks to him.

"You're welcome, K..." he started to say her name but changed it to "Captain." at the last second. He was shocked to see her again. In the crowd of people he hadn't noticed her at first, she was surrounded by her friends. I wonder if she still remembers me, I wonder if I am even a live in her reality. Thoughts started to race through his head. Should I say something or should I let see if she recognizes me.

He stepped back after helping her, he looked at her face it was exaclty as he remembered it. I can't believe I may get a second chance, a chance to make this right. Don't screw this up again, Josh.

Keeping his head down, Issac listned to Kym's statement. It was true, Matthews would of had no hesitation to shoot someone who rushed forward. Issac, with full gear and tac-vest would look like a threat indeed. "Yeah thats a good point Kym" Matthews contiuned in a hush, making sure not to be heard by anyone but the few surrounding him. "They must of knew we were comming, but how?" Matthews contiunued to give the alternate McCoy distainful looks, but he was in his circle of SG-8 and talking to his team.

"Good job Kym, at least you knew someone, but still imagine the technology level here if they could predict somone comming through a mirror? they obviously were prepared, because we all got one of these devices" Matthews nodded his head towards the device stuck to the back of his hand.

"I suppose time will tell" Matthews muttered softly to Kym, more intrested if he could steal some looks from Dr Bytronski.

Matthews turned back to face Ashwood. "I wouldn't expect a meal, but it would be nice to get one." As he finished up, his stomach let out another gurgle. Embarassed, Issac turned away in embarassment.

Claire smiled at Mattews knowing, shaking her head as a small smile tugged her lips, she pulled out two energy bar out of breast pocket from her vest, "Here," she offered him, "this should help for a while. I'm sure our hosting reality doesn't mean to starve us," noticing the captain's badge, "sir." she added quickly.

Last she remembered was seeing him with Lieutentant badges. Blinking at him, she gave a slight shrug, "Congratultions on becoming the Captian" she told him, with a smile.

Tyler snuffed and barely rolled her eyes. It was all well and good to be cautious but, Issac was looking for something to be wrong. Any good transport system has monitors to track usage, we haven't explored enough to find them yet.
She touched the DNA masker on her chest, These things were not whipped up in an hour. They have a lot of visitors.
Kym started tapping on her belt, impatient to be off. The woman glanced over at the relief team, SG6, huh? I wonder if that was 'my' team back then. "Scuse me," she muttered to the group and strolled across the floor. Getting closer, she wrinkled her brow, the commander looked familiar Is that ... Josh?
She asked tentatively, "Major ... Ezekiel?"

[ShelBel]

[Mirror Room]

Fascinated by the Mirror Room, Jaime barely registered the fact that she'd dropped her pack and McKinnon had picked it up. When the DNA masking patches were handed out, she took hers and scrutinized it for several moments before deciding where to put it; as unobtrusively as possible, she slipped it under the waistband of her pants and set it on her hip. If anyone sees it there, I'm in big trouble, she thought bemusedly. There was a slight sting as it set, but after that its presence was practically unnoticable.

She dropped her sidearm in the bin, next to Kym's P-90; she'd noticed the several recognitions and even greetings between the group that had come through and the locals, and although a couple of faces looked familiar- mostly ones that she'd met since they'd been stranded on Gaia- no one jumped out at her as being more familiar than that. And no one seemed to recognise her, which made her wonder about her alternate self in this reality. What had happened to her? Had she never even gotten involved in the Stargate program? Had she perished back on Earth?

A little shiver ran down her spine and she shuddered, having that old "someone walking over your grave" sensation. Enough of that, she told herself firmly, and turned back to the situation at hand.

Still taking it all in, she tagged along with the group, taking in her surroundings. Man, what I wouldn't give to get hold of the IT department, she thought wistfully. Judging by the tech in the patches, they had to have incorporated some pretty interesting stuff in their servers and network. Idly, she ran her fingertips along the wall as they walked.

[Mirror Room]

Lance deposited his weapon in the bin with the others, and accepted the DNA masking patch, tucking it onto his leg, just above the left ankle, but out of view unless he was going to be searched. Since he was relatively new to the Alpha Site, he didn't expect to see too many familiar faces in this alternate reality. Wordlessly, he hefted Jaime's pack onto one shoulder while he shifted his own to the other shoulder. He noticed a dark expression cross Jaime's features, one which he couldn't quite read. Then it shifted to a wistful one. 'I haven't known her long, but she probably wants to check out their hardware and possibly score a few new toys for her systems back home.'

He quietly fell in next to Jaime at the tail end of the group, and whispered to her as she ran her fingers along the wall, "I saw you checking out the patch... do I detect an acute case of GAS?" Pausing only a half second, enough to let her start to raise her eyebrow and open her mouth, he then continued. "That's Gear Acquistion Syndrome, not what you were likely thinking." He chuckled softly. "This whole alternate reality kind of creeps me out... God forbid I run into another me, it'd be like the comedy club from h3ll with the one-liners." His smile belied his uneasiness. Despite his banter, he was very carefully checking everything out as they walked, making sure he got the layout of the area down in his mind, just in case they'd need to make a hasty exit.

Matthews felt a little embarassed by Davis's thoughtfulness. "Thank you Claire" he said meekly and let a out a smile. Noticing the delayed reaction on the "sir part".

Matthews still felt a little embarassed on the Sir thing, as he still hadn't felt like a true Captain as of yet, he still had a lot to prove. Sometimes that he had to remember that others had to salute him sometimes too. "Thanks for praise Claire, but please, you dont have to use the titles. Issac is fine"

Looking down at the muslie bar in his hand, "Hey, i suppose i owe you a meal now?" Matthews shone a warm smile back to Davis, and began biting into the bar.

Josh had stepped back away from Kym after her helped her with her bag, he had turned around and went to stand next to Captain Pierce another member of SG6, he turned when he heard his name. "So we did know each other in your reality."

He shifted uncomfortable on his feet, "Yeah its me, I was wondering if you would recoginze me." He walked back closer to her, "You look good," Josh smiled at her, he rarely got embarrased by anything, but being around her again and getting a feeling that it wasn't exactly the same thing in there reality.

<<Base: Mirror Room>>

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

After contemplating the dimensional displacement data in the tablet in front of her and memorizing it, Natasha decided to do the more complex coordenate calculus to take the alters home in a later time when she was alone at her house and nothing would disturb her thinking process. She thought she could cut herself off of her surroundings working on the transdimensional Mirror Math, but she was wrong this time.

She turned the tablet off and put it back on the closet adjacent to the central cilyndrical control interface for the mirrors. She then leaned her back against the monolithical rock and closed her eyes. Since she could not avoid being influenced by her surroundings then why not let it in?

Each one of the alters where feeling different things.
Sharp, being Sharp, just like their own, was masking his true feelings of impotence under snark, he was very agitated and anxious, perhaps he didn't have a choice but to succeed in this mission;

Henderson and Harvey were being the distrustful ones, the devil's advocates;

Taylor was marveled and contemplating the tech of the LGR and the beauty of the room, probably trying to imagine the rest of their base tech, she seemed to be a geek;

the stranger called McKinnon clearly had some feelings of admiration and friendship towards Taylor, but tried to mask his wish to stay closer to her under irrelevant snarky comments, typical male reaction;

Tyler was trying to get over the fact that she was dead in this reality by having some small talk with the people she felt comfortable with, it was a shock to her to meet both Pratt and Ezekiel again;

the other stranger, Valentine, just wasn't showing much interest at all, he was utterly uncomfortable with the situation for some reason, perhaps he didn't know any of them;

Davis was still shattered by the news about herself and her father, Natasha almost felt she had lost her touch with people for the state she had put the young woman at, it hurted so much;

Ashwood and Whitely were sad to see their friend suffering and also encouraged by the scene of her being comforted by Dr Black, even the alters themselves knew they were right together, though it seemed it wasn't the real case in their reality, yet;

Black was heartbroken trying to consolate Davis and not be affected himself by the news and the situation, trying desperatly not to mix the personal with the team bonding that would be naturally expected, especially in front of Sharp;

and finally Isaac, poor him, still not knowing what to think, trying to cope with the fact that he and his team mates were dead, uneasy with the fact that McCoy didn't recognize him and that she ignored his attempts at conversation, letting his frustration materialize itself as a hunger discomfort.

When she stopped focusing on each, actually the hunger feeling was a commom denominator, several among them were hungry and Natasha made a mental note to take them to the Mess to eat something after the meeting with Sharp.

Turning to the people in this reality, most of them were still only sad, the kind of feeling that was spread among the base personel since General Belousov's death two days ago, although Pratt was very happy and disturbed at the same time for the chance given to him to see his old friends once more; McCoy was still a little startled; and Ezkiel was a mess for metting with Tyler again, though he was putting up a brave face just like herself. Again she thought about the wounds that having the multiverse as their backdoor could open and sighed, shifting against the cilyndrical rock, her own wounds exposed.

But she couldn't actually say what she was feeling anymore, was it a combination of the general emotional mood of the room? Was there something especific that was only hers? She could not tell at this time anymore. She opened her eyes again and looked at the group in front of her, her eyes shifting from one to the other. She decided to engage in small talk with the one she thought would take her further from the emotions, Jaime Taylor. Natasha went in the direction Taylor and McKinnon were at and said cheerfully. "Hey, liking the place so far, Taylor?"

"Yeah, we're definitely in a serious situation. Though from that smirk, I get the feeling you don't mind my humor too much," Lance spoke with a wink. "But in all seriousness, I'm memorizing the layout of this place just in case things go south. How's the arm holding up?"

After they walked a bit more, he noticed Matthews was chatting up a couple of the members of SG-1, and scoring a powerbar in the process. The sight reminded him that he was a bit hungry himself. He pulled two powerbars from his tac vest and opened one for himself, offering the other one to Jaime. "You might want to eat something now... who knows what the mess hall is like here, or if they'll want to feed us." As he spoke, he thought he noticed Issac trying to catch the alternate Bystronski's eye. He shook his head. 'Nah... I'm seeing things' A short while later, he thought he saw it again. Rather than interrupt his friend and potentially embarrass him if he was reading things wrong, he leaned over and whispered to Jaime, "Check your two o'clock. Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? I'm trying to memorize the details of the path we're walking, so I'm only catching it out of the corner of my eye."

"Hmmm?" Jaime looked up from the metallic etched control panel she was examining; it had a brushed aluminum appearance, with colors shifting under it, and the "buttons" on it seemed to change depending on what function you needed it to perform. She turned, looking in the direction Lance had indicated. She saw Matthews and the alternate Dr. Bystronski (odd- I'm sure they're thinking that *we're* the alternates... it's the old 'who's the alien' debate...), and there was definitely a weird vibe between them, like- Isaac was hopeful, and Bystronski trying to keep her distance. She turned back to McKinnon.

"I think you are seeing what you think you are seeing." She snorted at her own wording. "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm quoting 'The Princess Bride'?"


"Hey, liking the place so far, Taylor?"

The unfamiliar voice caused Jaime to turn around and come face to face with Dr. Bystronski. A bit flustered, Jaime tried to recover. "Oh! Yeah, so far it's very interesting. I'm afraid all the tech is a little beyond me at the moment, but it's fascinating. I'd love to learn more about it if it's permitted... and we have the time..."

I'm afraid all the tech is a little beyond me at the moment, but it's fascinating. I'd love to learn more about it if it's permitted... and we have the time..."


"And I'll be more than pleased to help you with understanding it, if allowed. You're only unable to grasp that which you never tried to think about, I always say. Sharp will decide what kind of security clearance you guys will have and based on that I'll be able to make my choice on what to show you with full explanations." She said raising her hand for a hand shake. "So... anything of particular interest?" She asked the young woman, contemplating her colored strand of hair with a smile, trying not to seem unpolite.

[ShelBel]

Jaime had to grin. "What *isn't* of interest?" She indicated the surroundings with a wide sweep of her arm. "I mean, honestly- I barely understand how the mirrors work. Technically- I'm a computer and networking geek, but its all so tangled together, even in our universe..."

She shrugged, thinking that this alternate reality made her original reality look like the Flintstones. "I guess we can only hope that Sharp trusts us. I'm not sure what we would have to offer in return, but hopefully we can figure something out."

Lance almost laughed out loud at the movie reference. "I don't know... my name is NOT Inigo Montoya, so you don't have to prepare to die". He grimaced as that was a pretty bad one-liner, even for him.


"Hey, liking the place so far, Taylor?"

Lance clammed up and just took things in as Bystronski and Taylor chatted, not even bothering to try to look like he comprehended all of the tech talk, though he was surprised that he got more than he thought he would. He noticed Bystronski did give him a weird look as she came up. 'I wonder what THAT'S about'. He didn't react visibly, he just kept pace, taking in everything he saw and heard for future reference.

Matthews felt a little embarassed by Davis's thoughtfulness. "Thank you Claire" he said meekly and let a out a smile. Noticing the delayed reaction on the "sir part".

Matthews still felt a little embarassed on the Sir thing, as he still hadn't felt like a true Captain as of yet, he still had a lot to prove. Sometimes that he had to remember that others had to salute him sometimes too. "Thanks for praise Claire, but please, you dont have to use the titles. Issac is fine"

Looking down at the muslie bar in his hand, "Hey, i suppose i when owe you a meal now?" Matthews shone a warm smile back to Davis, and began biting into the bar.

Daivs

Mirror Room

Noticing that he was a little embarssed, she nodded, "Sure thing, Issac." It would take time for him to get used to being called sir and for her to call him sir.

Seeing that he was joking about owning her meal, she angled her heard at him, she grinned, decideing to play along with the little banter, much to Zack's discomfort who was glaring, to be percise, shooting daggeres from his blue eyes.

"Are you asking me out on date, Captain?" she winked.



Doctor Zack Black

Mirror Room



When Issac had mentioned owning Claire a meal and told her to call him Issac, he stiffened, the never of him to ask her out and to tell her to ingore the rank callings.

She was his, didn't anyone know that? When she actually agreed to call the Mattews by his first name, he shot glared at her. She teased Mattews about the date thing, not wanted to hear the reply, he stomped off to Whitely and Ashwood, muttereing few foul words under his breath.

"She..she....Can you believe her?" he looked at Whitely. He was jealous, he knew that. But the question was why? They weren't together so she was free to see who ever she wanted, so why he was having a jealous fit?

He looked more like a child who had lost his chocolate, he pouted.

Sarah shot a look at Kim, and then glanced at Zach. Deciding she should comfort Zach who was seeming to fight a losing battle, placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "You should say something."

He glanced at her, "Say what?" he asked, moitioning his hands in I-don't-know way, "Eveything I say to her either fall on deaf ears or she choose ingores it. Tell me why in the hell I'm feeling jealous of Matthews?" he took a quick look towards Matthew and Claire, then back at Sarah.

Before Matthews, it had been McCoy. God he wasnted to bang his head at somethingh hard.

Ashwood.

Mirror room

All Kim could was stare at him open mouthed. Was he blind? God, she hoped not or they all were doomed. He really coudn't see how he felt about her or her about him.

Resisting the urge to wack him on the head, Kim just tapped her foot with a you-tell-me look aiming at Zack.

[Jynjyr]

Josh had stepped back away from Kym after her helped her with her bag, he had turned around and went to stand next to Captain Pierce another member of SG6, he turned when he heard his name. "So we did know each other in your reality."

He shifted uncomfortable on his feet, "Yeah its me, I was wondering if you would recoginze me." He walked back closer to her, "You look good," Josh smiled at her, he rarely got embarrased by anything, but being around her again and getting a feeling that it wasn't exactly the same thing in their reality.
[Mirror Room]
"I should hope I'd recognize the guy I lived with for two years." Kym shuffled her feet, uncertain of how to say something. Her friend Pratt had been surprised, Josh seemed uncomfortable."We're you and ....?"
She held up a hand to stop him, "Don't answer that. It's none of my business."

[Colonel Sharp]

Sharp quietly walked over to lean on the wall, he smiled as he leaned back, looking at Zach shoot glances at Mattews, Mattews chat up Claire, Tyler engrossed in a technical conversation with Natasha...

Sharp checked his watch again. Jesus christ..who's runnin the show here? Oh..thats right...

He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, taking as much rest as he could get..they would be here a while.

<snip>
Turning to the alter-Sharp, he said, "Colonel, please make sure your people stay together. The natives who live in this part of the ravine don't appreciate strangers wandering around and we don't want another incident."

[ Mirror Room]
Checking one last time that all the Alters had no heavy weapons, he waved his hand in circle over his head in the old cavalry gesture. "Let's move out. Like I told your Colonel, 'stay together'. The natives aren't happy with wanderers and this is their part of the canyon."

The corridor was back to rough stone work. High tech lights lit the passage but, except for a few doors, woven blankets covered the carved openings. He commented to Sharp, who was walking next to him, "A lot of the natives have harsh weather shelters in here. Most of them prefer to live outside though."

The final word about what I can show you or not is Sharp's." She responded to Taylor when she heard that Pratt was calling everyone out. She was not sure she should follow them at this time or not. "Seems like your time to find out. See you later." She said deciding to stay.

LT. Rachael Ezekiel- Lab

Rachael look around the room, she had been trying to concentrate for the past two hours on her new defensive techonology, but kept coming up with a blank. She pushed her laptop away from and look around the room agian.

She look at the door almost halg expecting George or Josh to walk through. Some how they always seemed to show up when she was having trouble thinking, but she knew this morning was Josh and SG6 turn to watch the mirror room.

Why can't I think right now, my mind is so distracted, but why? There has to be some reason. She knew that another group of alters came through. She grabbed her laptop and pulled it back to her, "There has to be something I am missing with these equations." She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

She let her mind slip into the memories of Alex, she let her mind wander in the memories. All of a sudden she heard a knock at the door, she stirred from her half sleep like state and look over.

"Hey you." Rachael said.

"Were you sleeping?" George said.

"No, I was trying to find the answer to my problem in my mind." Rachael said looking back down at the laptop in front of her and moving the mouse around.

"Sure you were." George walked into the room and leaned on the table opposite from her. "How are doing today?"

"Just fine, I know another group of alters came through. I don't know who is with them." Rachael look up at him, "Didn't you say you had important things to do?"

"Yes, I just wanted to see how you were, you seemed a little off this morning. Did you sleep alright?"

"Yeah, I slept fine, I am jsut busy that all. I jsut have alot on my mind that's all." Rachael said trying to cover her own thoughts as to what she was really thinking. "Go ahead and do what you need to do, I'm pretty much going to be here most of the day."

"Alright, I will see you later. If you need me just call." George said, than leaned across the table and kissed her on the forehead. He than walked out of the room.

Rachael let out a breathe of relief than got back to her equations. I really have to stop pushing people away.

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

Natasha stuffed her hands in her lab coat pockets and watched as the group of 12 left the mirror room. It got a lot emptier after the group was gone. She wasn't sure what she'd do next. Perhaps try to continue her day with a 'Nothing important has happened today' attitude, she was good with those. That was a good idea, but she really didn't feel like performing the scheduled tests for today.

She decided to just stay there in the mirror room, it never bored her to look at it even after all the time she had already spent there. Once she seriously thought about one day going in a mirror or even a Gate mission though it was improbable it would ever happen due to her lack of military training and now with Varia even an irresponsible thing to do. Her chances were over, but she could still think about it.

She thought about what Davis and Ashwood her told her. That her alter from their reality was a Captain and probably went on missions all the time, she envied her for that. 'Life is life. You have yours and she has hers. Who is to say hers is better?' Natasha thought to herself still with her gaze fixed at the mirror complex.

[SilverRider]

AU Zack Black

Near Base

Seeing that he was nearly to the base Zack slowed down. Hearing a bunch of chatter coming for his right he looked sharply towrds the direction of the scorce.

Notcing Pratt with Colonel Sharp and what seemed to his group, Zack felt bemused. Looking furhter down the track, where they had come from he understood that this team or teams as it seemed came from another reality.

Towards the end of the group he saw a face he didn't think he ever see again.

Claire, his heart broke at the sight. She was chatting with her walking comapain happily. Supporting a frown on his handsome features, he wondered where was his other self.

Shuffing to look for his other self's face in the crowd. He finally spotted his twin among them.

As he got closer, he noticed that his twin form the other reality was fuming and kept on glacing back towards Claire.

Understanding where his twin was coming from, he mused. "Ah, Lover's spat." he muttered knowing. Pausing for another drink from his canteen he waited for them to go into the base, before he followed.

Sighing he leaning against the rock and felt his heart ache even more. She looked as he remembered her. Slender, beautiful, and with the twinkle in her eye. Most of all this Claire he had seen looked more like Paul, right dowm her smile.

Rubbing a hand over his heart, he continued his walk once he saw that the coast was clear. Hoping that there would be no salt for his wounds.

[Mirror room]
Kym was secretly relieved at the order to move out. This whole alternate reality and 'meeting yourself' thing was awkward as h3ll. Intellectually, she understood that none of these people were the ones she really knew. Emotionally, however, it was wrenching to meet old lovers and lost friends.
"Sure thing ...... Major. They can't keep us tied up in meetings forever."
The woman trotted after the group, grinning at Simm's comment as she went by. "Nothing changes with you Tyler. Always tail-end Charlie."

Josh watched as the whole group left, he look over at Dr. Bystronski. She felt relieved at the group being gone. He went over and had a seat and leaned back in the chair. That was a little awkard, Josh thought as he look around the room, it seemed so empty after the large group left. Maybe I should try and talk with her, she is not my Kym anyway. But I have to at least I think I do. I am not going to get any where just talking to myself.

He watched as his team moved around the large room, since he had been given command of this team they had gone only on one off world mission together, for the moment he enjoyed the quite times they spent in the mirror room. There still have not been to many people to come through to there reality. I wonder if I will ever meet myself again. More often than not I am dead, I guess this is one of those realities that has more than subtle differences from the others.

Josh unclipped his P90 from his vest and set it down beside him. He turned his attention back to Dr. Bystronski, "You doing alright Dr?" She seemed like she was in another world. I wonder if she is going to be alright. Some times I feel that having the doorway to the multiverse is not such a good idea.

Natasha was still admiring the mirrors, trying to think about how they showed them the different relative sides of what's usually called reality. 'What's real anyway? Is it what you think? What you feel? What you see? Man, I'm mentally babbling to myself. It's a cue to crazyness. I'm a mess and certainly not good at philosophizing at all.' She thought as she continued to stare at the mirror complex absent-mindedly.

After a few moments, she began noticing movements again as SG-6 moved around the room and her thoughts were distracted from the mirrors. Then she heard Josh's voice asking if she was alright. 'That's a tough one to answer right now. So many things to sort out.' She thought as she approached his position, considering a reply.

"I think I'll be alright, Josh... It's not like the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last... I think....huh... That's how we live here. I have to be OK. Sometimes... just sometimes.... don't you consider....?" She babbled as she was at a loss for words, thinking she shouldn't even touch the subject at all, but the Ezekiels were some of the few people she really let herself get close to besides Isaac. They were like family to her. If she didn't talk to him, who would she talk to? Hermione? Cathy? Not a chance in h3ll! She thought well of them and they did a terrific job on the base, but she'd probably make the good women run for their money with everything she had bottled up and decided to try her best to never mind so far. Certainly it'd take years of baggage cleaning, they'd be stuck with her foverer and the staff of the psychological department had more important things to take care of anyway, especially now with the passing of General Belousov. 'Not a good idea to go digging stuff up now, not a good idea at all. Let the ghosts be dead, it's always the best approach.' She decided to go on and engage in some friendly, inconsequencial small talk instead.

"Thinking about it, everything is good actually. I'm fine. How about you? Seems like today is our surprise day." She said smiling sheepishly, placing a thread of hair that was falling on her face behind her left ear and trying to lighten both their moods with a funny comment about their day. Didn't actually helped any of them though. It was final, she lost her people skills when she saw Isaac again. 'First Davis and now this. Way to go, girl.' She thought as she waited for Josh's reply.

"I have been better, but day of surprises like you said." Josh smiled at her trying to lighten the mood. "Well I guess things can only get better from here." He looks over at her, "Have you seen Rachael this morning, I was suppose to eat breakfast with her, but was running so late I didn't have time to stop by."

Josh noticed her own discomfort from the whole situtation so he decided to change the subject completely. I would rather distract myself than think about Kym right now, I have a job to do. And she seemed a little shocked to see me. I don't think I alive in her reality. Maybe I should of just left everything alone, she is not my Kym anyway. He walked over to Natasha and stood just a few feet from her, Look at me I am talking to myself again, I just have to stop thinking.

He wanted to distract Natasha but knew that Rachael was better at that than he was. He waited for her response but tried to keep his own mind preoccupied from thinking of Kym.

"Yeah, me too." She said shyly, distracting her gaze from Josh and braking eye contact not to let her feelings be too overwhelmingly obvious to him. She didn't need anyone feeling sorry for her.

"I hope you're right and things do...will get better, Josh. They need to." She said just to give an answer to Josh while she moved to next subject fast.

"No... I haven't seen Rachel today, but almost everyone is late anyway. Me included. She must be at the lab by now. I really don't know because when I arrived she hadn't yet and then I came here." She said thinking whether she should get the breakfast she skipped or wait until lunch time at the mention of food. She decided to wait for lunch time, she wasn't really hungry.

Moments later Josh came over and stood closer to her position, his discomfort, his confusion and his desperate wish to occupy his mind with something other than thoughts of the lost beloved one were clear and as strong as her own. She decided to give it another shot and make them both laugh.

"I'm almost imagining... going back to the lab.... opening the door.... finding a new decoration on the walls... having that OMG face with dropped jaw for 5 minutes... hugging Rachel and saying that I love her and Alex for turning me away from... me... then just settle to work again for a veeery long time and forget aaall of this." She said smiling and waving her extended hand in front of her, pausing the movement everytime she ended a sentence in the sequence of events. One that has happened a lot of times already and the reason both women shared a lab. They understood each other and didn't complain about the few odd things that could happen in their shared work space.

"We may not have technical expertise for construction, but we can go for the theoretical. I'm not of the idea that everything has to be made true, some things are safer when left for the imagination." She said humbly, stuffing her hands back on her coat's pockets. "Perhaps I should be on my way." She mused.

((OOC - Don't worry, max. I hope you're OK.))

Josh smiled at the mention of Rachael and new decoration on the walls, "Now we can't forget those lovely decorations on the ceiling and the floors. Sometimes I wonder how she deals with all those thoughts in her head." He shook his head, Sometimes I think she is the craziest person here, other times I think she more sane than I am.

Josh enjoyed the distraction, he looks at his watch. It was mid-morning now, he look around the room at his team mates they were still tired from last night, but alert none the less. He look at Natasha and took a step back, he always enjoyed converstation with her, At least she succeeded in distracting me.

He leaned against a column, "Well Dr. have a safe walk back, and if you see Rachael tell her I am sorry about missing breakfast."

"Tell me about it. I like them all though... Food for thought if nothing else ever comes out of it." She said smiling, noticing the shake of his head. 'It must be hard for him to think a part of his sister is a strange alien party. I don't know if I could handle that myself. Having people skills and getting them easily is something, getting inside their minds is another completely different and scaring one. I don't want to ever be in her shoes. Well,... all I have to do is try not to touch funky Ancienty looking tech. Job hazard, some say it can happen to any one of us.' She thought as she noticed Josh was probably considering a similar thing.

"I succeded this time. There's hope for me." She said in a low tone more to herself than to Josh, who didn't listen her whispered words. She got sure of this when instead of responding he looked at his watch and then to his team mates. All of them, including herself, still tired from the previous night.

"Thanks for your concern, Major." She teased him in a friendly way stressing the word major. After all the lab she was going to was just 2 levels up in the same building, no real danger but that of an elevator malfunction. 'Well, he called me doctor, fair enough if I call him major.' She thought smiling.

"Consider it done. I'll tell her that you, big brother, sent your regards or your apologies." She said with a big grin and waving goodbye to Josh and his team in a friendly way as she caught the tray she had brought the LGRs on and left the mirror room in the direction of the lab.

She started to type things at an uncontrolled rate equations just screamed through her mind at an alarming rate. She tried to keep up with them, but had a hard time. Not agian, please don't let this happen again not now.

Her mind felt like it was going to exploded with all the information that was flooding into her conscious mind. She all of a sudden forced her self to stop typing and closed her eyes. "Alright calm down, just stop typing." She told herself aloud.

But the pause only lasted a few seconds her fingers started to type even faster this time only stopping for the computer to catch up.

She entered her code in the door's lock and went into the lab with the tray she used to carry the LGRs to the alters in her left hand. She looked at the walls and they were still white, no new colors. She saw Rachel seated at her desk, typing frenetically at her laptop.

"Hey, Rachel, good morning." She said in good humour while going in the direction of the closet from which she took the devices, placing the tray back in its place above such closet among others of different sizes.

After putting the tray in its rightful place, she turned to Rachel who didn't seem to have heard her. She was clearly very absorved by whatever she was doing, so she tried again.

"I met Josh in the Mirror Room and he said he was sorry for not being able to make it to breakfast. He's in mirror duty now." She said, noticing that Rachel was still not listening. So there was only one explanation, she was doing that memory transference of hers again. It was never good when it went on for too long.

Natasha got closer to Rachel and said louder. "Hey, Rachel." Again no change, so she placed her two hands over Rachel's shoulders from behind her chair and shaked her slightly. "Hey, you'll end up hurting your fingers if you go on like this, my friend." She said softly and then Rachel was hit by a mild pain on both her hands and that discomfort made her stop before getting really injured.

Rachael mind was in such a trance that she didn't see or hear anything going on around her. She let out a slight cry, than turned her chari around, "Oh thank you. I didn't know how much longer I could keep that up." Her hand started to go back down to typing but she forced herself away from the computer.

She stretched started to pop her fingers, "It felt like my hands were on fire, and boy do they hurt, I don't even know how long I was like that." She turned her chair back around but kept her hands in her lap and look at the equations. "I have no idea what this means," she than turned around, "You said somthing about Josh, not meeting me for breakfast."

She kept staring at the computer screen, "I forgot he was suppose to join me for breakfast, no worries George and I ate before I had to come in for work." She closed her eyes and put her hand to her head, it hurt slightly from the concentration, "So I take it from how many LGR were missing we had a rather large group come in."

"It's OK, Rachel. Sometimes I think I'm here to protect you from yourself. About how much longer you could go on, not much I'd say. It's good I didn't stay in the Mirror Room for much longer or left with SG-8 and the alters." She said smiling in a half joking, half worried voice.

"If I know you well enough, you were typing since you arrived." She said smiling and doing her best to divert Rachel's mind from the pain in her hands, so it'd gradually disappear. "We can look at this later, Rachel. Now I'm worried about you." Natasha said closing the laptop as a way to cut Rachel from her typing imperative.

"Yeah, I said I met Josh at the Mirror Room and he said he was sorry for not being able to make it to breakfast." She repeated the information to Rachel.

"OK." She told Rachel when she mentioned she had breakfast with George.

"Yeah, we received quite a large group today. 12 alters total. They came for a DHD replacement for their disabled Gate. I think that explains the large group since they didn't know they'd find someone living here or our version of the planet they call Gaia. They just left to see Colonel Sharp." She said to give Rachel some information about the group that had just arrived, but not mentioning anything about who was in that group.

"So who were the alters that came through?" Rachael asked, than dismissed her own questions seeing the slight uncomfortable look on Natasha face and the uncomfortable laugh she got.

"Actually I know it was not since I arrived George stopped by a while ago, it was I know after her came by, but I don't remember the time." She responded to Natasha comment about typing since she got there.

Rachael look up at the Natasha, "Oh you don't have to worry about me, I am fine. Just fine. I mean a little crazy sometimes but I am fine." She look down at the closed laptop and began to see the streams of data again flash in her mind.

She tried to block out the memory but something wouldn't let go, everytime she tried to push it back it just came back with more force. She closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breathe.

Rachael tried to stand up but immediatly sat back dowd; shaking off the feeling she got when standing up she tried again. But like deja vu it happened again, only this time she missed the chair and came crashing down agianst the table. Reaching out her hand to get a hold on the table but missing so she braced herself for the impact with the floor.

She did not remember hitting the floor just the flood of memories that came through with the impact. Her eyes seemed to move like lightly behind the eyelids. She started to try and focus the memories but all she kept seeing was flashes of differnet things, people & places, nothing lasted more than a second.

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

Natasha sensed that Rachel was curious about the group of alters that had just arrived, but decided to drop the subject after her reaction to the question, uncomfortable look and laugh. 'Since when have I become so predictable? I usually hide my discomfort in a much stealthier way.' She thought as she decided to give her an answer and prove it was all good to talk about it.

"Their team leader seemed to be the alter Sharp, but the highlights among the group were: alter McKinnon, major, and actually a nice guy; alter Kym Tyler, Josh got to see her already before they left the building; alter Zachary Black and alter Claire Davis, not a couple... yet;.....alter Isaac Mathews..." After she said his name her voice faded and she couldn't say anything anymore. 'What the cat ate your tongue, Natasha? Tell me about being obvious after that.' She thought as she was deciding on what to say next.

"Well, if you only started typing after you came back from breakfast, wow, you were really desperate to get this done with. Did you see how much you've typed before I closed the laptop? That explains the pain in your hands, at that speed, it was meant to be painfull. You gotta control this or you'll end up hurting yourself bad one of these times...." She said worried about her friend and her general health state and the fact that one day she may find her in a really bad shape or totally out of control. Natasha really feared for Rachel, but there was nothing she could do to help her with her 'memory transference gift'.

"Tell me about it, Rachel. As if I didn't know you well enough by now. I just worry too much, I guess. It's a flaw of mine. But I act over what I feel. Doesn't everyone do the same?" She said in a frustrated voice to Rachel's comment about being fine which clearly wasn't the case. When Rachel looked at the closed laptop again, Natasha felt an angst. 'Why isn't there anything I can do to help her? She's drawn to finish whatever she was doing even if it meant injuring herself further. I have to do something, but what? I can't take away what's in her mind.' She thought as she placed her right hand over the laptop to block Rachel's access to it.

When Rachel closed her eyes and took a deep breath, it was clear to Natasha that her friend was struggling bad to regain control of her own mind. She wish she could help, but all she could really do was try to calm her down with a sympathetic look.

When Rachel tried to stand up first, Natasha had to back off a little bit to give her space. When she just sat back down again, Natasha started to get worried. 'Could she be pregnant?' She thought as she closed her eyes to try to pick up something from what she had seen of her friend's state so far, a sensation, a facial expression, anything that could tell her what the problem was.

Natasha was too caught up in trying to read Rachel that she didn't realize when she stood up the second time. When she broke her chain of thoughts and opened her eyes to look at her again, Rachel was on the floor. Everything happened very quickly. She kneeled beside her and gave gentle slaps on both sides of her face for her to wake up again. 'This is definately more trouble than I thought.' She thought as Rachel woke up a little grogy.

"We're going to the infirmary. NOW. I won't take no as an answer, if you just ate you can't be feeling this weak without something going on health wise. It could be good or bad, but we have to find out, the sooner, the better. My guess? It's a good thing, but I'm no MD. We're going." She said with a stern voice not giving Rachel a chance to protest, though she tried to open her mouth to, while helping her to sit down on the chair again to give her some time to breathe and recover before they could leave the Lab, always keeping eye contact.

As Natasha helped Rachael up she didn’t resist, she just let herself be guided up to the chair. She closed her eyes and just breathed in and out trying to catch her breath.

When Natasha tried to help her out of the chair she resisted, “Come on, I said we’re going.”

Rachael just shook her head no, “NO, I don’t want to go.” Natasha pulled on both of her arms to get up. “Stop, leave me…” she trailed off and tried not to scream and to keep from crying. Unfortunately it was too late tears were already welling up in her eyes. “I don’t want to find out.”

She tried her best to fight off her tears, but was only half successful tears started to roll down her cheeks. She backed away from Natasha, bumping into the wall she just slide down it and pulled up her legs to her chest.

Burying her head in her knees she just let it all out, Natasha came up to her and kneeled down beside her, putting her arm around her and just letting her know someone was there.

They sat there for several minutes before Rachael lifted up her head, “Alright come on we’re going to the infirmary.” Natasha said in a clam yet firm voice.

Rachael allowed herself to be helped up and than guided out the door, “Don’t let them find out. They won’t be happy if they find out.” As they walked through the base hallways Rachael didn’t see there base. Her mind was locked into a memory of Alex’s, when she looked at Natasha she didn’t see Natasha but a long dead ancient named Elaina.

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

Natasha could feel the despair in Rachel's words and actions as she sat down on the floor next to the wall and it scared her a lot. Her friend was acting like a woman who knew she had a terminal disease when all evidence was pointing to something way simpler and even a sign of good health.

She could understand her though, Natasha herself was very reluctant to find out for sure if she was pregnant when she was expecting Varia, but she never reached this level of fear, though reasons abounded for that in her case.

She comforted Rachel the best way she could, putting an arm around her and rocking her slightly to help her feel cared for, that whatever was going to happen, she wouldn't pass through that alone.

When Rachel finally allowed her to help her up and guide her out of the lab, Natasha got that strange feeling again when her friend looked at her. It was as if she wasn't seeing her, but someone else. A distant look that always unsettled her.

"Don't let WHO find out WHAT, my friend? George? Josh? The possible pregnancy? Why wouldn't THEY be happy?" She asked in a sweet voice, hugging Rachel and stressing the parts she thought odd in her speach. 'What's she talking about? Why so much fear? I don't understand her reaction, she just fainted. I could be just bad alimentation. Who knows?' She thought as she continued to guide Rachel through the base's corridors, keeping an arm around her neck and the other hand holding Rachel's arm to be able to hold her in case she fainted again in their way to the infirmary.

As Rachael walked through the halls of the base she saw things very differently, it was not her base at all but an ancient city. The memories of Alex had invaded her own conscious mind and were almost taking over, yet she fought to keep some kind of grasp on her own reality.

She couldn't respond to Natasha questions, she felt like her mind was in a deep fog one which she could not get out of. As she was guided through the halls she kept mumbling, "I can't know, I don't want to know. This cannot be happening, not now."

Her mind was racing with so many thoughts, Not now, I have to much work todo, there is to much at stake.

"To much at stake, Elaine. There is just to much." As they walked into the infirmary Rachael look at everyone they passed by, they look so familar there faces yet she knew none of them.

"To much at stake, Elaine. There is just to much." As they walked into the infirmary Rachael look at everyone they passed by, they look so familar there faces yet she knew none of them.

'There is something very wrong here.... Oh, my friend, don't loose grasp of reality again.' Natasha thought as the two women walked towards the infirmary.

When Rachel finally started speaking, Natasha got even more worried about her, if that was even possible. 'Elaine? Who is that, Rachel?' She thought, knowing from previous experiences that there was no point in asking her right now. Now that she understood what was going on more or less, she decided to play along with what was probably in Rachel's, or better Alex's, mind and help her through it.

"I understand that you're afraid, but your fear will not change that which already happened. All you can do now is your best to keep yourself healthy, calm and in working condition. Whatever is going on, things will end up OK. You trust me... right, Alex?" Natasha spoke trying to enter Rachel's alternate mental world, rubbing her shoulder slightly as she spoke.

When they entered the infirmary room, Natasha sat Rachel down in one of the chairs in there and a nurse came by.

"What happened?" The nurse asked.

Natasha walked with the nurse a few steps away from Rachel, so she couldn't hear them. "Lt. Ezekiel fainted not long ago in the Lab. just after having breakfast, so she shouldn't feel so weak. We came just to make sure she's allright. You know the usual tests...." Natasha answered, always keeping eye contact with Rachel, who now seemed to be in a world of her own and quiet in the chair.

"Sure. I'll call a doctor to check up on her." The nurse said and went further into the infirmary to find an available doctor as Natasha went back to Rachel's side, still waiting on her answer.

AU Dr. Gus Aaronson, CMO

Gus was engrossed in some test results when the knock came on his door. "Dr. Aaronson? Dr. Ezekiel is here; Dr. Bystronski came in with her. I took a brief history and symptoms description-" she handed the tablet to him- "and she's set up in Exam 2."

"Thank you." Gus took the tablet and skimmed over the information with a well-trained eye. Disorientation... fatigue... emotional distress... He looked at Ezekiel's medical history, blood work, and previous test results and sighed. History of exhaustion... Ancient gene... Suddenly recollecting something, he called up Dr. Bystronski's records and looked through them as well, seeing a similar pattern. Time to figure out what's going on here, he said to himself determinedly, reaching over and pushing a button. "Dean?"

"Yes Gus?"

"Can you come down to Exam 2? I've got a couple of patients here I'm concerned about and want to examine, and I want to move on it quickly. I'm downloading the records and some instructions to your tablet."

"Got it. I'll be right there."

"Excellent. I'll take Dr. Ezekiel, you can handle Dr. Bystronski."

"Yes sir. Meet you at Exam 2."

With a sigh, he got up and went to the exam room, pausing slightly to allow Dean- just coming around the corner- to catch up with him. "I'll send Natasha right out," he said softly, and Dean nodded. Putting a gentle smile on, Gus entered the exam room and greeted the two women, noting both of them looked pale and tired. "Rachel, Natasha, hello. Natasha, I need you to wait in the exam room next door with Dr. Winchester, please. Thank you." Dr. Bystronski left the room, escorted by Dean, and Gus carefully closed the door behind them and turned to Rachel. "I understand you're a bit out of sorts today, Rachel," he said gently. "Can you tell me what's been going on this morning?"

AU Dr. Dean Winchester

Dean hurried down to the exam rooms, a worried expression on his face. Gus making a decision like this meant something potentially serious could be going on. He'd downloaded Dr. Bystronki's records to his tablet with specific instructions- although she hadn't been the one to come in, he still had concerns about her and wanted her examined thoroughly, no objections entertained, medical authority overriding military. Dean hoped she wouldn't put up too much of a fuss about it; according to her records, she'd missed her last appointment and he been difficult about rescheduling.

Thankfully, Natasha exited Rachel's exam room quietly, hopefully believing that it was a mere patient confidentiality technicality. Dean showed her into the spare exam room and watched carefully as she took a seat, noting that while she seemed in better condition than Dr. Ezekiel, she still seemed a bit pale and thinner than her records indicated she should be.

"Dr. Bystronski," he said softly, closing the door behind him. "Dr. Aaronson wanted me to speak to you a bit. You missed your last check up and he would like for you to complete it, as long as you're here."

The orders on the tablet, in the note Gus had given him, brooked no argument. Medical authority: in other words, neither one of the women were leaving the Infirmary any time soon unless they submitted to a thorough physical examination, and even then their release was up to Dr. Aaronson's interpretation of their test results. Dean watched Natasha's face carefully and waited for her reaction.

Dr. Bystronski left the room, escorted by Dean, and Gus carefully closed the door behind them and turned to Rachel. "I understand you're a bit out of sorts today, Rachel," he said gently. "Can you tell me what's been going on this morning?"

"Helo, Dr Aaronson." Natasha said replying to his greeting and listening further what he had to say.

"Sure, Dr Aaronson, I just didn't want to leave Rachel alone, she could've fainted again. Now that you're here, I'm relieved." She said getting closer to Gus. "Just wanted to tell you that in the way she's right now, she may resist to be examined by anyone. Good luck. She's really distressed by something." Natasha said close to Gus so that only the both of them could hear. Then she left the room escorted by Dean and followed him to the other exam room. Although she didn't understand why she needed to go, she went nonetheless. She was tired, yes, but not sick, as far as she could tell. Soon Natasha and Dean were in the other room.

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

Natasha entered the exam room and took a seat, noticing that Dean was a little worried about something, perhaps her. So she made a choice not to upset him further.

"Really? I didn't remember that. When was it due to happen?" Natasha said with a perfectly fake confused face, seeming really oblivious of the fact she had skipped her last exam. "OMG, my mind has been elsewhere more than usual now with Varia at the house. I'm sure I feel just fine. Nothing but the occasional headache, but they come and go very fast as usual. Not staying long enough to harrass my dayly duties. No sustained weakness or anything. I haven't fainted since I was pregnant too. I think I'm just fine, Dr Winchester. I guess?" She said trying to make Dean a little less worried about her than he seemed to be.

She knew she was probably looking not that good right now from not sleeping at all for the previous three nights, not something she never did before because of day duration on Xanth, but added up with the events earlier today she could be looking really bad for an outsider.

"Sure. It don't mind to finish up my exam right now. I'm really sorry I forgot about it, Dr Winchester." She said smiling sheepishly. Actually Natasha doesn't like these routine exams and she had skipped this one on purpose, but now that she was caught in the act there was no point to resist anymore.

[ShelBel]

[ Infirmary ]

AU Dr. Dean Winchester

Dean smiled. He felt fairly confident that Natasha was fibbing a bit about not realizing she'd missed her last exam, but as long as she wasn't putting up a fight he was happy. He did make a note about the headaches, though.

"Dr. Bystronski, go ahead and lay down on the bed please," he directed her, punching a few more commands in the tablet. The beds had been modified with Iberian technology and were capable of doing low-level diagnostic scans; actual blood-drawing was only reserved for more serious and detailed testing. "You know how this works; it'll only take a moment. Just relax and lie still."

The bed hummed quietly, and Dean watched as readouts appeared on his tablet. He frowned over the results, studying them silently; after a few minutes the scan was done and several diagnoses popped up on the tablet.

He hit a few keys and sent the information to Dr. Aaronson, along with his observations and possible course of treatment; a few moments later Dr. Aaronson replied, confirming his diagnosis and treatment.

"Okay Natasha," he began. "There are a couple of things in the scan that jumped out at me, the main one being your red blood cell count has dropped a few points. That's indicative of physical exhaustion and anemia, which would explain your headaches, weight loss, lack of color, and tiredness. There's a little more going on here than just a few sleepless nights, I'm afraid."

He looked at the tablet again, tapping at it's screen. "I've conferred with Dr. Aaronson and we both agree- the best treatment for you is a prescription for some supplements and rest, which means you've been relieved of duty for the next 72 hours. No," he said, cutting her off before she could protest. "You are to go home, put your feet up, take care of your daughter, eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired. You will NOT boot up, think about, or even contemplate looking at a computer of ANY kind. In fact..." he trailed off, tapped the screen, and smiled, tucking the tablet under his arm. "As of right now, your laptop and home computers have been secured by the IT staff, and your network logins have been mostly disabled. You are officially on leave. You will report back to the Infirmary for a physical at oh-six-hundred in three days and will undergo another scan, at which time your treatment will be re-evaluated. If you do not report as ordered, you will be collected by base staff and brought here for the scan, and more than likely confined to quarters for an extended period of time. Do you understand?"

He waited for a moment, then delivered the kicker. "Dr. Aaronson has also requested that you undergo a full psychiatric evaluation at this time, in reflection of some brain chemical imbalances. Comhairleoir Fianna has been paged, so if you'll please wait here she'll perform the evaluation shortly." He nodded his head in way of dismissal. "Thanks, Natasha."

Ducking out the door, Dean sighed and downloaded Dr. Bystronski's test results into the chip that would respond to Comhairleoir Fianna's tablet once she got in range. He hoped the Iberian psychologist (it was the closest designation that translated into the Tau'ri langauge) wouldn't be too hard on Natasha; she was known to be a bit abrupt with the Tau'ri she dealt with on occasion...

He noted on his tablet that a crew of Alters had come through not too long ago. That was always interesting, he thought absently. And he *was* hungry... Not admitting to his curiousity, Dean headed toward the Mess and main offices of the base.

<<Base: Infirmary>>

AU Dr Natasha Bystronski

Natasha layed down on the bed as requested and relaxed trying her best not to cause unwanted spikes in her exams. She knew how the tech worked and how she could fool it. She had done it many times, but she couldn't concentrate her mind on masking anything this time, she was too taken aback, more than she had realized at first, with the events of the morning: Isaac sort of ressurrecting from the dead and Rachel, her best friend, one step closer to total craziness. She knew Dr Winchester would get a good look at her, the one she has been avoiding since day one at the SGC. 'D@mned be this alien tech. It'll pick up too much. Ok, relax....It's gonna be OK.' She thought to herself trying to relax further, but a sense of exaustion filled her mind and she couldn't fight to keep herself from it anymore.

When Dean frowned, she knew her results weren't good, but at least they were true this time and she could fix it instead of masking it. Perhaps it was for the best or not. When he started speaking again, she moved to a seating position in the medical bed with a startled face that could clearly say: WTH is this? She tried to protest, but Dean wouldn't let her, so she waited until he finished talking to give him a reply.

"But it's just a temporary thing, I assure you. I don't get to come to the infirmary much, right? OK. I'll give you physical exaustion, little" She said making a gesture with her right hand to signify little. "weight loss and some tiredness, but I'm not anemic. I was feeling well when I left home this morning, a little upset... but OK, you don't get anemic in four hours, right? It's not possible even for me or is it? These exams are wrong. I'll send someone to fix this bed." She said resisting the news with all her might, jumping from the bed to stand up, but she then had to lean against the bed for a moment.

"OK, perhaps a day off is not a bad idea, I can focus all my strength to fix this." She said pointing at her body. "I could sit down, relax, enjoy my kid all day long which is something I don't do for a while, think about things, but 3 days is too much, Dr Winchester. I don't NEED all this time off. I'm being honest.... I mean with the alters here... I'd like to be with them more... learn some things about their reality for our AU catalog...maybe help out in their mission. They won't stay here that long, they never do...usually. I'm rambling now, but I..." She started speaking in a incoherent rambling way when she started to speak about the alters and that was a give away. For some reason it was like it was finally hitting her, the illness. She held the bed with both her hands as her head came down a little and her eyes closed hard and she let out a deep sigh. It felt like something was draining all her strength. Something was happening to her, it had hit her now, perhaps she should take his rest advice untill all was over with.

"I mean... there's no need to confiscate my things, Dr Winchester. I promise I'll rest a lot like a good girl and not skip any breakfasts again like I did today and yesterday." She said doing the Boy Scout I swear I'm telling the truth thing, kissing her fingers and showing her hands out. "I'll get crazy with nothing productive to think about while Varia is asleep. We don't actually sleep at the same time and that's part of the reason why I don't get to sleep always. Well, I can always think and write it down later anyway...." She said ultraged to be treated like an adicted that can't stay close to the object of vice.

Then came the worst. "Psychological evaluation?" She asked almost crying out loud. "I assure you that's the most unnecessary of all parts of your described treatment. That little" She said making the same hand sign as before. "imbalance you saw is nothing important. Just relaaax. It's aaall good." She said now with a calm and cool voice, trying to change his mind about that in particular.

"By the way, yes, I won't forget to be back in tomorrow, Dr Winchester. I promise. After all, getting released and being well on my feet again is something I want very much. I guess this is my cue to go to the Mess?" She said getting ready to leave the exam room, but seeing Dean leave the room, she resignated herself to be grounded for 3 days and wait for Fianna, though she would still fight. If he thought she would give Natasha a hard time instead of the opposite, he didn't know her well enough.

Lt./Dr. Rachael Ezekiel-Infirmary-exam 2


With a sigh, he got up and went to the exam room, pausing slightly to allow Dean- just coming around the corner- to catch up with him. "I'll send Natasha right out," he said softly, and Dean nodded. Putting a gentle smile on, Gus entered the exam room and greeted the two women, noting both of them looked pale and tired. "Rachel, Natasha, hello. Natasha, I need you to wait in the exam room next door with Dr. Winchester, please. Thank you." Dr. Bystronski left the room, escorted by Dean, and Gus carefully closed the door behind them and turned to Rachel. "I understand you're a bit out of sorts today, Rachel," he said gently. "Can you tell me what's been going on this morning?"

Rachael just sat on the bed still looking at the door that Natasha, or what she was actually seeing Elaina walked out of. She blinked her eyes and than she lost the memory, "Ok, um.." she turned to look at Dr. Aaronson, Ok, I am in the infirmary, for what fainting. No there is something else. She look up, "What was the question?"

"Can you tell me what's been going on this morning?" He repeated in a gently tone.

"Right, I got up took a shower, ate breakfast with George, Major Rhea. Went to the lab, was there for a bout a thirty mintues when George stopped by. One of the last things I remember was starting to type on my computer, I couldn't stop. Natasha was the one who jarred me out of it." Rachael look around the room agian, knowing Natasha wasn't there, but still not quite sure what was going on. "I felt a little tired weak even, when I tried to stand up I couldn't so I sat back down. Than when I started to get up agian I fell."

She turned her head, as if fighting off a headache, than her eyes flashed wide open. She turned to Gus and got almost a frightened look on her face. "No, I won't let you," she pulled her legs up to the bed and got as far away from his as she could.

Through her eyes it was not Gus that she was seeing but Alex father Josiah. She was scared for several minutes than loosened up, she kept closing her eyes and thinking this is all wrong. She stuck brought her hands up to her eyes and rubbed them. "This is all wrong, this already happened." she look around the room everything look familary, yet out of place.

"I don't want to find out, I don't want anyone to know. This can't be happening. Not again, I can't go through this again." She burst into to tears, "I don't....want...this..." she could hardly speak she was gasping for air. "Please...don't...tell me. Don't...tell me..." she started to move over to the edge of the bed, "Tell me this isn't happening," she said as tears streamed down her face, "Tell me everything is going to be alright." She was calming down again.

AU Dr. Gus Aaronson

Gus watched as Rachel seemingly melted down right in front of him. "Take it easy, Rachel," he said softly, putting down his tablet and moving toward her slowly, hands out and open. "Nothing bad is going to happen, okay? We just need to check you out."

Surruptitously he reached in his pocket, his fingers closing around one of the emergency tranquilizer patches he always kept there. Thank goodness for the Iberian tech, he thought gratefully, slipping the patch into his hand. When he reached up to touch Rachel's arm to soothe her he placed it on her skin and the tiny chip in the patch immediately scanned her and began releasing a mix of mild sedatives specifically tailored to her needs into her system.

"It's okay. Just lay down on the bed and relax for a few minutes, Rachel." As she followed his instructions and the Iberian med scanner built into the bed began it's work, Gus's tablet beeped at him across the room. Confident that Rachel wasn't going anywhere, he left her there and picked it up, reading Natasha's results, Dean's diagnosis, and the treatment recommendations. Everything seemed straightforward and Gus approved the plan, adding a single note about Dr. Bystronski's brain chemical imbalance and making an immediate psych eval- by Comhairleoir Fianna, with whom Natasha would stand no chance of snowballing in any way, shape, or form- mandatory.

Extrapolating from Natasha's past history, Gus knew that she was probably trying to talk her way out of it- out of EVERYTHING- but he knew Dean was perfectly capable of stonewalling the doctor, and the Iberian-integrated medical facility would sense if she tried to bolt and lock her in if necessary. Her scan results did worry him, and he thought he might have to call in one of the Iberian doctors to help him adequately interpret them.

The med bed behind him beeped and he scanned through Rachel's results, seeing many of the same patterns with one major difference- her hormones were way out of whack... no, wait...

He sighed and turned to Rachel, gently helping her sit up. She was a bit groggy from the sedative, but he knew that the Iberian tech wouldn't have given her more than necessary, and would have sensed her condition and taken it into consideration.

"Rachel, you do know that you're pregnant, don't you?" he asked gently, making a few more notes in her results and forwarding them to Comhairleoir Fianna as well. Another one for you to evaluate...

Natasha isn't someone who likes to loose time waiting and doing nothing. So while still waiting for Fianna, she decided to begin treating herself right away with meditation treatments for self healing she had learnt with a zen doctor friend while still on Earth, before the craziness of the Stargate Programme came into her life. So she laid down on the med bed again, crossed her arms over her chest, holding both her shoulders with both hands and closed her eyes.

'Ok, Natasha. You know you won't be able to leave. Dr Winchester probably activated the security system for difficult patients on you. There's no point to act like a crazy person and try to hack the door out. Time to look inside and focus. Time to fix this mess you made on yourself like Sarah taught you back home....home....home.' She thought to herself as she began to relax, breathing slowly and rithmically, the word home ressonating in her mind.

Natasha always believed in alternative medicine which is odd with all this high-tech conventional medicine provided to the base by the Iberians, she had more confidence in the whole mind over matter thing and that somehow always worked for her.

Rachael started to feel very drowsy after the patch was slipped on her arm; she lay down and for a split second she fell asleep. During that short period of time the continuation of Alex memory flashed through her mind.

She stirred slightly after the scan was done and tried to sit back up, Gus helped her to sit up. She rubbed her head and eyes, trying to sort through the memory that she just saw. So much to understand, don’t comprehend it all. She saw his lips move and knew he was talking to her, but she couldn’t make out what he was saying.

She grabbed the side of the bed and almost collapsed, again the memories invaded her mind. She had to lie back down, than she started to babble things in ancient to Gus. All of a sudden she fell silent, looking around the room searching for something.

Her mind started to play tricks on her again; she fell into another waking dream. She stared at Gus but in her mind it was Alex father, who had a striking resemblance to her own father. “I can’t control this, they are invading my mind.” Rachael said in a low whisper. “I am so afraid…,” she started to say something else, but it was in ancient.

She heard the echoes of a voice, “You must fight this Rachael; you must accept this.” She looks around the room for the voice, but all she saw was Gus.

AU Dr. Gus Aaronson

Worried at Rachel's behavior and symptoms, Gus felt he had no other recourse than to admit her. He went with and made sure she was settled in to a semi-private room and resting quietly when his tablet beeped at him- Fianna had completed her evaluation of Natasha and was waiting in his office.

By the time he got there she had already gone, but left her diagnosis and recommendations. He skimmed over them, nodding; acute exhaustion (physical and mental) and slight hallucinations (according to her Iberian scanning technology), triggered by a particularly strong Ancient gene which was causing possible RNA infringment and affecting her pituitary gland (which would explain why, if Natasha was exhausted, that she would be suffering these symptoms- since the pituitary gland governed sleep cycles, it was possible that her sub-conscious was 'leaking' through into her waking hours).

He sighed. It was his guess that Rachel was suffering from much the same thing, only to a more severe extent. Fianna agreed with the imposed leave of absence and had volunteered to go over Natasha's physical exam in three days, as well as prescribing a mild dose of Iberian-engineered melanin to help Natasha sleep (enough to ensure she would rest, but not strong enough to keep her from waking should her daughter need tending to during the night).

Gus went into Natasha's room and gave her the diagnosis, as well as signing a slip for dispensation from the pharmacy, assuring her that the melanin wasn't habit forming nor would prevent her from waking or being alert when needed.

"I'll see you in three days," he told the woman gently. "I know you want to work, and I know not doing so will drive you a little bit crazy, but- please. Make an effort, and find something to do that you enjoy. If it's translating romance novels into Ancient, I don't care. Just- take it easy. Three days. Thanks for being patient, Natasha, and for bringing Rachel in. She's resting, and Fianna is evaluating her as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated as much as we can."

With a nod, Gus left the exam room and headed back to Rachel's bedside, hoping to catch Fianna.

When Gus came back to release her, Natasha was seated on the bed from where she had her talk with Fianna who woke her up from her meditation. She was feeling a little better after that. She heard Gus speak and then answered.

"I'll be here in 3 days, Dr Aaronson, don't worry. I'll do my best to relax and take it easy. I don't know how much success I'll have with that though, but I'll try." She said defeated, but smiling slightly. "I'm really worried about Rachel. She's getting worse, not better." She said with a sad voice. "I trust you to make her better. As you said I can't upset myself for a while right? I'm going to get some lunch at the Mess and then hit my quarters. Thanks for everything. Keep me informed. Ok?" She said with regained strength and stood up from the bed where she was seated without feeling the need to lean on it again like last time.

With a nod, Gus left the room to give his attention to Rachel and Natasha also left, going to the Pharmacy to get her medication and then leaving to the Main Canyon, back on the direction of the Main Base.

Rachael had been moved to a seperate more private room, and now had falling back to sleep, or at least a dream like state. The memories that had flashed in her mind were now being played out in a more logical manner.

She stirred quite often trying to sort through all of them, but was unable to distinguish between what had really happened and what her mind had fabricated.

Her mind kept playing the same thing over and over again. What she see in her mind:

Alex had been at the bed side of her husband not moving an inch for three days. She knew it would be his time soo to go, but longed for it never to come.

She refused all help and she would not allow anyone to take care of him but her. Than right before he left, he came to her and told her not to fear that they would be together soon.

After that she refused to see anyone and just stayed in her lab, she was there for about a week. When she herself colasped and was taken to the infirmary.

That is where the memory would start to repeat. (End of what she see in her mind.)

Rachael woke up from her dream and look around the new room, she rubbed her eyes and tried to talk, but her mouth was so dry. She than saw a figure near the bed sitting down. "How and why am I here?"

Lt. Belousov strolled toward the Mirror Temple to check in with the current duty team. Before he reported himself back to duty, he wanted some indication of what he was getting into.
As he moved down the corridor, a gray-furred Shajgar Elder came out of one of the chambers. Ivan flattened his back against the wall and glanced down. He could tell by the person's size that it was a male and, although not as volatile as a younger man, it still was safest to not give any sign of a challenge.
He passed the human with only a half-hearted snarl and limped toward the secondary Mess hall for a snack.

Ivan noticed that the equipment cart was gone from it's space outside the Mirror room. He waved to the man in the monitor room and entered the Mirror Room itself.
"Major. Captain," he nodded toward Ezekiel and Pierce. "I understand that I missed some excitement?"

She's in-between, he thought. She's not quite Rachel at the moment. D@mn Ancient DNA throwing a wrench into the works... Getting up, he went to her bedside and looked down at her with a reassuring smile, offering her a small cup of water with a straw.

As she took another drink of water she replayed what he said in her mind at first she did not understand than it clicked, she spoke slowly and almost like a child, “It’s me Alex, how do you not know your own daughter.” All of a sudden her head started to hurt; she put her hands by her temples and closed her eyes.

When she opened them again the fog was gone she could see clearly, what the room look like. She looks back over at Gus, “Ill,” she said trying to grasp what he had said. She than started to recall the last few weeks in her mind, she remember her husband falling ill. “You don’t think I got…” she trailed off, “I can’t get sick.”

"Rachel," Gus said gently, realizing that the young woman had come back to herself. "Welcome back. Nothing seems to be inherently wrong with you other than some indications of physical and mental exhaustion; I don't get any bacterial or viral flags through the scan. I think your physical state is affecting your psychological via the Ancient gene, somehow, and your hormones being out of whack with being pregnant isn't helping the situation either.

"I'd like to admit you for observation for a couple days, Rachel, and call in an Iberian doctor to help me interpret the scan results. In the meantime-" he looked down at his tablet and scribbled some notes, watching as the hand-written letters morphed into perfect text- "Can you tell me who Alex is?"

“I guess putting up a fight wouldn’t do me any good, seeing as how I probably couldn’t put up much of a fight right now anyway. The Iberian doctors can interpret the medical scans, but they will be just as clueless as to what do.” She said trying to lighten her mood. “As for who Alex is, this might take a while.” She took a deep breathe and let it out, trying to calm her mind, “It is true I have the ancient gene, it runs very strong in my family, even both my parents have it. When I was 12 I found an ancient device, I didn’t know what it was at the time. It contained the life and memories an ancient, her name was Alexandria.” She paused a second to let that sink in, watching the expression on his face change.

Her head still hurt and she was having trouble concentrating, “Occasionally her memories invade my conscious mind, causing me to do things I can’t control. After ward I am normally very weak, on occasion I black out, which is what happened today.” Her eyes started to get really heavy, she grabbed on to the side of the bed, so she would not fall.

"The Iberian doctors can interpret the medical scans, but they will be just as clueless as to what do.”

The Infirmary is primarily their tech; after 18 months, we're still learning how to use most of it, while the Iberians are completely proficient with their own technology. I think they'd be more than capable of shedding some additional light on the results."

He listened patiently to the explanation of her psychological lapse, nodding. "Your records did mention the Ancient gene, and the encounter with the device, but nothing more specific than that other than you were prone to episodes like today."

She just sat there in silence trying to sort through all her thougts running through her head. She finally gave into what her body really wanted sleep. "I think I'll take that advice and rest up a bit. Maybe I will feel better after that."

She layed down on the bed and closed her eyes, still thinking of the memory that wouldn't leave her alone, she felt haunted by it. Even though her body wanted to sleep she still fought back her mind from giving in, knowing full well if she did than the memories would become full blown in her mind.

Finally after about thirity minutes of fighting she gave and drifted to a place where she was awake yet dreaming. That is when the memory became full blown in her mind. She was really living through what Alex went through.

<Rachael & Natasha Lab>

In a large sealed glass cabinet, containing several ancient artifacts many of them pieces of technology. Among there is a small device which began to glow a pale green than change to a bright blue color.

[Rachael-Infirmary]
<Memory>

Rachael awoke in a large room filled with empty beds; she looks around the room trying to figure out where she was. She leaned up on the bed trying to get her bearings.

A few minute after she sat up Josiah, her father, walked in and smiled at her, “You are awake, how do you feel?”

“Um, alright I guess,” she look around the room, “How did I get here?”

“Elaina, brought you here, you collapsed in your lab,” Josiah walked closer to her, “Alex, I want you to listen to me. What I am about to tell you is very important, you life could be in danger.”

“What is it?” Alex asked getting some what of a frightened look on her face.

“You are pregnant.” Josiah said than paused letting the news since in.

Alex just sat there in shock, “But..no..no…you’re wrong. I know the test is wrong. This isn’t right, your wrong…I don’t believe you…I won’t believe you.” Tears started to emerge in her eyes than fall down her face, “He… wasn’t… suppose to…leave me… not like…he did…this isn’t….how it is…suppose to…..happen.”

Josiah leaned on the bed, and started cradled Alex, “Alex, my Alex, shh…just calm down, calm down. Breathe, just breathe.”

Her breathing started to become steady, “I am sorry, I just don’t know what to do.” She lifted her head up and when she look up it wasn’t her father with her. “What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t allowed to.”

<End memory>

All of a sudden Rachael sat straight up in her bed, she look around the room it was empty. She put her hand across her stomach out of instinct than brought it up to her head, “Why is this happening now, why those memories?” Rachael drew up her feet to her chest and sat there, trying to think of what is really going on.

<Rachael & Natasha Lab>

The device that was glowing began to fade back to its original look, except for one button that would blink on and off. It had ancient writing on it, that said ‘Guiding Principle.’

"Colonel? Ready whenever you are. You sure you don't need another person to carry the generator?" Ernest made a motion toward one of the SFs standing idly in the room.

(OOC - A thousand apologies for the hold up. I havent had much internet time this weekend, and the few times I did check in I hadnt realised preceedings had moved to this thread *blushes* But Im here now. SG3 give me a poke next time!)

[Mirror Room]

"I think I'll be fine if I can just borrow one of your carts" she pointed to a vacant one sitting near by. "Besides Tenaglo should be waiting for me just on the other side and we left the generator with him, so it should only be a quick trip or however you refer to transending realities."

Pratt pulled the three wheeled cart over to the mirror. "Just make sure you're touching the handles when you transpose. We'll keep the connection open for you."

"Hi Guys" McCoy said jogging into the room "Havent missed much have I?" checking all of his equpiment and making sure all clips are clipped into place. "So we all set then?" McCoy clapping his hands together once, acting like a kid in a candy store, he was born to be a stargate explore and was very happy when finally selected to be part of the program.

O.o.C: Sorry guys and girls if it seems to be outta place, but just hoping to jump bak into the story :).

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Josh was finally relaxing again, his heart had stopped pounding in his head, this felt like old time again. Even though he knew it wasn't, "Well the main rule we have here, which I am sure they have mentioned to you is, all alters must have an escort where ever they go."

Josh look around the room at his team, they were pretty relaxed now, which made Josh more relaxed. He still felt slightly awkard but the feeling was going away. "I am sure they are probably just as curious as everyone else to find out what our reality is like."
[ Mirror Room - Kym Tyler ]
Kym glanced around at everyone, recognizing some familar faces from her own Alpha-site. "The natives are a really good reason to keep us on a tight leash. They're not nearly as civilized where I come from.
She paused and bit her lip before saying, "I think I would have liked to meet 'myself' though. Tell me to go to H3ll if you want but, I have to ask. What happened?"

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Josh was some what taken back by Kym response, "What happened, you me what happened to our earth or what?" He had some what of a puzzled look on his face.

[Mirror Room]

"Ok enough, lets get going. The quicker we go the quicker we come back. Will some one dial up our reality please." Harvey waited patiently as one of the AU team who's name she'd missed dialed up their mirror. She could see the mirror room on the otherside, she grabbed hold of the carts handle and reached for the Mirror. "See you shortly" she smiled as her fingers made contact and she vanished.

(OOC - Back to our own reality................)

[Jynjyr]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Josh was some what taken back by Kym response, "What happened, you mean what happened to our earth or what?" He had somewhat of a puzzled look on his face.
Even more unsure of herself, Kym answered, "The Colonels can get the big picture but, I'm ... more interested in. It's kind of morbid but, I wanted to know ... what." Finally she blurted out, "How did "I" die."
The woman quickly held up a hand in a 'stop' motion, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's OK too."

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Josh got quite for a second but than took a deep breathe, "It's alright I can tell you," he motioned her to have a seat over near the one side of the cave. "As you know a rescue mission went out to get SG8. Well the short explanation is your were shot in back by a Jaffa."

He looks up at her, "When they brought you back, there was nothing they could do. The staff blast was almost a through a through, it broke you spin."

Josh look down for a second than up again, "It's not really that morbid, in a way its kind of is, like staring at your own mortality. I want to know how I died to. Call it human curosity."


http://photo.ringo.com/194/194584730O741866108.jpg (http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost.php?p=6368410&postcount=196)

[Jynjyr]

Kym winced and squirmed, "I got the same shot in my reality. Only I had the new armor. It absorbs the energy of a staff blast." She pointed toward their equipment cart, "I've got the same type with me now. It sounds like we may have a basis for some trading here."

In answer to Josh's question, Kym replied, "You were still on Earth. I'm not sure where you were stationed." She glanced down, not able to meet his eyes, "We ... split up a few years ago."

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

“New armor, that would have come in real handy,” He said after she mentioned trading.

Josh look over at her, “I figured as much, especially when you didn’t recognize me at first.” He kept his eyes on her even though she wasn’t looking at him, he moved his hand and lifted up her face, “It’s alright I mean every reality is different. Some things just aren’t meant to be.” He paused, “I know that this is probably the weirdest thing that has ever happen to you. Seeing someone from you past just walked back in, and know that its not really them, but it is them, in an unusual way it is.” Josh kept his eyes locked with her, I know this isn’t my Cybele, but she sounds the same, she looks the same. Those eyes they are her eyes. He blocked his own mind from thinking.

“I guess I wasn’t the one who joined the SGC, John must have joined. In most realities it’s always John who joined and Rachael of course she is always there.” Josh said, trying to be subtle and change the subject. He wanted to see her smile again, “Do you remember the first time we met?”

[Mirror room - Kym Tyler]

At Josh's gentle touch on her chin, Kym bit the inside of her lip. He'd always been so caring. "You and her were still together, weren't you? We fought over my 'jumping ship' to serve on an AF base."
She gave him a half-hearted smile, "We were both too brickheaded to find a compromise and, afterwards, I didn't know how to apologize."

Kym nodded, "I've seen John and Rachel around the base. I think they're still a little po'd at me for breaking up with you. We're not chatty."

The memory of their first meeting put a real smile on her face. "Launching ceremonies for The Sullivans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_The...s_%28DDG-68%29). You looked so ... D@MN ... GOOD in your dress whites." She sighed and rolled her eyes, "I couldn't stop watching your tush."
The woman suddenly blushed as she realized that this wasn't HER Josh Ezekiel. "I'm sorry, that was out of line."

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Josh nodded his head at her question of whether or not they were still together. "Yeah we were sort of together off and on, depends on how much of our stubborness came through."

Josh had removed his hand, "Both of us too 'brickheaded to find a compromise,' yep sounds like us." he had to smile, they argued and bickered all the time. "You didn't know how to apoligize, I was always the one to say I was sorry first."

"That doesn't really sound like Rachael but than again she is a very strong willed person. But John yeah he kind of is like that, especailly when it comes to family." Josh look around the room, "He was to much like our dad, the Admiral."

Josh had to smile at her comment about his tush, "I do have a nice tush don't I."

When she suddenly started to blush and apolgize, "Kym, you don't say your sorry. I should be the one, I brought it up. Although to be perfectly honest I could stop looking at your 'tush' either."

[Jynjyr]

[Mirror Room - Kym Tyler]

Kym shook her head sadly, "Sometimes I think it was more lust than love that kept us together. Right until the last, the 'making up' was the best part of arguing."
She sighed again, "Like you said, it wasn't meant to be. I wish I hadn't been so stubborn though."
Shaking off the gloom, the woman changed the subject, "How good is your mess? I could use a decent meal."

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

She could always do this to me, why do I let her do this? Stop thinking you idiot. Josh look up at her. "Your are probably right, although we could always hope that some where in some of alternate universe we did make. I wished I hadn't been so stubborn too, we all make mistake that we wish we could take back, but don't realize it till its to late."

He look down away from Kym, not wanting to look in her eyes again, he quickly shook it off and said, "As for the mess hall, its not too bad. Its actually better than some of the things they used to serve on some of the ships, or it the fact that we ate the same thing on a ship for three or four months straight."

Kym shuddered at the memory, "I've never been so glad to make port in my life. Cooks did their best but, there's only so much you can do with ground meat. I'll bet that it was the first time in a century that sailors had to fish for their supper."
She patted her flat belly, "I must have lost 20 pounds on that cruise. Of course, I put it back on when I got posted to the Stennis. Man, those carrier guys eat good."
Rubbing her stomach again, she heard it growl. Digging a power bar from her pocket, she started nibbling. "I was busy setting up a battery power grid just before we took off. What little I did eat, d@mn Sharp aerobaticed out of me. I never got seasick, why do I get airsick? Or worse yet, Gate-sick?"

(( BTW - ships get re-supplied, by helo if necessary, every few weeks. Mail and fresh food, at least. So my niece tells me. She gripes about cargo day. ))

Ernest watched as Harvey and McCoy winked out. From the other side of the Mirror, McCoy gave him a nod and followed the Colonel. Once they were out of sight, Pratt turned back to the room.
Taylor was busy recording everything that held still long enough to get focus. He left her to it and, instead, approached Tyler and Ezekiel.
He was relieved that Josh was taking the woman's re-appearance calmly. "Hi, folks. Doing OK here?"

"I remeber my first trip on a ship, just after I graduated officer school on the USS Enterprise, the worst part was getting used to the food." Josh said.

"I have never rode with the Colonel in a 302, but the first time I went through the stargate, I couldn't stand for about thirity minutes after. Couldn't eat either." Josh smiled and it began to feel like old times, as wierd as it seemed it felt so right.

"That's where you," Kym tapped Josh on the chest, "differ from MY Josh. He thought ship-board chow was good. Most of the time it was." She continued with her comparison, "My Josh would eat everything."

Kym started, surprised by the sound of Pratt's voice. "Fine," she answered shortly. Truth be told, she was more affected by having him alive than Ezekiel. Josh had been out of her life for years, Ernest died less than six of her months ago. The woman tried to keep her feelings hidden but, couldn't tell if she was successful.

Jaime kept the camera trained on the mirror as Harvey took the car through. There was no effect, no flash, no sound- when she reached out and touched the mirror, both she and the cart simply blinked out. Weren't there. And appeared just as instantaously on the other side, visible through the mirror. McCoy followed, and Jaime could see them greeting the pilot Tenaglo back in their reality, on PX2 897- then the mirror faded into a dull silver matte surface.

Jaime turned to Pratt, still recording. "You mentioned a monitoring system? It will let us know when they're coming back?"

Ernest noticed Tyler's discomfort and made a mental note to try to find out if they'd been more than friends in her world. From the little he'd overheard, Josh wasn't in her life there. He laid a hand on the other man's shoulder, "Good, glad to hear it."

He moved over to answer Jaime, nodding to the main entrance, "Yep. The system will give us a general alert when they re-enter the Mirror room. In this case the Mirror is still dialed, so it won't need to signal which one is being used. Normally, it does. Monitor room is over there. You can watch for them, if you want. Or we could continue on with your film odyssey."

Josh felt the hand on his shoulder, Josh watched as Pratt walked away, over to Jamie. He noticed Kym reluctance to answer; when she finally did it was short. “I don’t want to put you on the spot or anything, but I have ask, Did you ever expect to see me again?”

Josh smiled at Kym, "Go, see the base. I am on duty anyway." he grabbed her hand, and leaned in closer, "I promise I will find you, and we'll have dinner."

"I like the idea of heading down and working our way back, stopping as we make our way," Jaime affirmed. "I don't mind walking, and getting more footage of the ravine would be excellent. Do you think we'll run into any more of the Shajgar? If they'd allow us to film their village..."

[ Mirror room - Maj. Ernest Pratt ]

Ernest led the way back outside while he explained, "The Shajgar aren't real keen on strangers in the village. I'll see if Ivan is willing to go talk to Harra for permission. It may have to wait until you come back though. He's got another couple of days leave available."

They came back out into the sunshine and the man turned around, pointing to the the carved cliff face. "These glyphs translated out as 'The Place of Probabilities.' We think that, in some reality, this was the original home planet of the race who invented them. What we can't find out is where they went and why they left."

"The Shajgar aren't real keen on strangers in the village. I'll see if Ivan is willing to go talk to Harra for permission. It may have to wait until you come back though. He's got another couple of days leave available."

Jaime nodded. "No problem. Ivan knows the Shajgar; if he thinks it would be a problem, or inappropriate to ask, I'll abide by his decision. My personal curiosity isn't worth endangering whatever diplomatic and/or trade agreements you've been able to work out with them." She had to smile. "Although I'm sure you were about to tell me the same thing!"


"These glyphs translated out as 'The Place of Probabilities.' We think that, in some reality, this was the original home planet of the race who invented them. What we can't find out is where they went and why they left."

Jaime smiled, remembering her own struggle to translate the glyphs. "Nice to know you know about as much about them as we do," she chuckled. She filmed as they walked, panning through the ravine. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast the film from our reality to this one, she thought.

A thought suddenly occured to her. "Major Pratt, who would we talk to about possibly meeting the Iberians?"

She sat there for a moment but couldn't resist getting up, she walked over to it and picked it up. Rachael started to scan the room for any paper, she saw a few pieces neatly stacked on top of a table in the far corner from the room. She picked them up and went and sat back down on the bed.

Than she started to write things down, slowly at first than at a normal pace. She look at the writing and at first had no idea what it was. Why am I doing this? There is no reason I should be doing this, so why? All of a sudden her mind started to go into over drive and a flood of memories started to come to the front of ther mind, all the while she could stop writing anything.

Jaime continued to film as they neared a higher-traffic area, passing in and among more base personnel. The trio was barely spared a second glance.

Jaime smiled, remembering her own struggle to translate the glyphs. "Nice to know you know about as much about them as we do," she chuckled. She filmed as they walked, panning through the ravine. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast the film from our reality to this one, she thought.
A thought suddenly occured to her. "Major Pratt, who would we talk to about possibly meeting the Iberians?"

[ Outside the Mirror room - Maj Ernest Pratt ]

Ernest led them farther down the ravine, "That would be Major Doherty or possibly Captain Mykonos. As we get to the other end of the base, we may meet some of the Iberians who work for us."

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

After George had gone to see Rachael he decided to go and see what was happening in the mirror room. He made his way through the canyon and arrived at the mirror room. He walked in and saw Josh there, “Hey, how is it going this fine morning?”

“Oh, pretty good, we had a rather large group of alters come through the gate.” Josh said, “You seen any of them?”

“Actually no,” George said taking a seat across from Josh, “Anybody I know in the group.”

Josh knew he couldn’t dodge the question, “Well Kym was with them, and Colonel Sharp,” he grabbed one of his water bottles and took a drink. “Plus ten more.”

George thought for a moment, “Well don’t worry I am not going to ask how you feel, I already know how I would feel, so there isn’t much point. However I will say this, if you feel the need to over indulge in alcoholic I will be more than happy to be there for that, should the need arise.”

Josh smiled, George never really knew what to say, but some how he always said the right thing. “Thanks, I will keep that in mind. So how did Rachael seem this morning, I was suppose to meet you guys for breakfast, but was running a little late.”

“Well it is just as well, we ended up running a little late also, Rachael seemed fine this morning, I stopped by the lab just about forty five minutes ago.” George answered, “Any way I was just passing through, trying to find my team, no luck yet.”

“Sorry I haven’t seen any of them, right after I got up had to rush out here to relieve Major Pratt and his team.” Josh said, “I still have about six hours left on my shift out here.” He look around at his team, the three others were playing cards. “But I don’t mind the quite, gives me time to,”

George stopped him before he could say anything, “Don’t say think, because we all know you don’t.”

“Remind me again why we’re friends?” Josh said.

“Your sister,” George said than smiled.

“Oh right, I told I would tolerate you for her sake, you just remember that.” Josh said.

“You see Josh I know deep down you like me,” George said, than smiled, “Beside what’s not to like.”

“Well for starters,” Josh began but than again George cut him off.

“Don’t say it,” George began, “I think I will leave now.” He said than stood up, “I will say this before I go; Rachael has seemed a bit distant as of late. It probably is nothing, but sometimes I never with her.”

“Most of never know what to do when she gets in some of her I wouldn’t call it mood swings per say, but it’s similar.” Josh said, “I mean I know I couldn’t deal with what she has to deal with, especially with what goes on in her mind. You don’t have to go.”

George looks at Josh, “Yeah I need to go find my team anyway. As for Rachael I love her just the way she is, wouldn’t change her one bit.” He than started to walk toward the exit, stopped and said, “I will catch you later.”

“Me neither.” Josh said, than waved good-bye. George walked out of the cave. Josh leaned back against the rock and watched the mirrors. He focused in on the one where Kym had come through. I wonder if I should tell her, would she want to know. How would that affect her? I just wish I knew what to do.

Josh look around at his team, a smile emerged on his face; his team had work well together since his appointment as CO. I couldn’t ask for better company. As he watched his team he started to think about the last conversation he had with Kym, and the events that led up to it.

Sarah waited after Zach called to her. He jogged to catch up and they entered the main corridor.

((Where is the main corridor?))

(( Blue let me know if this needs editing if I'm doing it wrong and plus if this is in the wrong thread. ))

Doctor Zack Black

Translating Lab.

Upon entering it, they made their to one of the labs. Zack nodded at the scientist on the bench who was working away, "uh...we..uh,", Damn it, he swore, "We were given permission from AU Sharp to uh..."

The scientist stopped worked and look the two, carefully, "Your Doctor Black." he asked Zack, who nodded. "Well, I have been told as to what you are here for, so please," he waved his hand in the gesture of 'help yourself'.

Zack nodded again, "I'm looking for the large tablet," he made the size of the tablet with his hands. He had seen it when Jackson was working on it, once.

"Oh yes, Doctor Black was working on it when..." he trailed off, realizing that he was addressing the wrong Doctor Black.

Zack frowned. "There are two of me running around?" he asked somewhat bemused.

"Actually, no" he replied, with a shake of his head, "I'm referring to Captain Black's wife. Doctor Claire Black."

Inhaling sharply, he closed his eyes, and nodded, he didn't wanted to go down that path, not yet. "Where's the tablet?"

"Just behind you" he pointed out.

"Ah thanks," he replied, and walked over to take a look, seeing it was written in Ancient, Zack cursed. "Get me Davis," he requested the SF who was on duty. She was the only one who could do the translating. he could read a bit here and there, but he wasn't fluent as her when it came to reading.

The last he remembered was her talking to Matthews.

[SilverRider]

(( So sorry for double posting, but weeeeeeee I'm having fun :D ))

Major Paul Davis

Translating Labs.

Walking into the lab, the first thing Paul noticed was both Black and Blackwell....no Whitely, he corrected himself, were looking at the tablet that Rain had been translating.

Frowning in though he wondering how he could help them with translating, "You wanted to see me?" he asked as he looked at his son-in-law's Alter.

(( Okay Shovar Zack's all yours, I'll post as Paul after your post thou :D ))

[Hulabaloo]

[ Translating Lab ]

Sarah joined Zach in the lab and winced when the scientist mentioned an AU Captain Black. Spying a chair on wheels Sarah grabbed it and dragged it over to where Zach was working. Sarah was tempted to ask him why he requested for Davis' attention but bit it back when he concentrated on the task at hand.

Being bored Sarah amused herself with spinning around in the chair. When Davis' arrived Sarah's head snapped up to look at him, he gave her a small glance which she noted as being sad. Deciding to occupy herself with something to do, Sarah examined the tablet.

Doctor Zack Black

Zack's head snapped up at the male voice announcing his presence. He winced when he saw Paul. He requested the SF to find Claire. It took him a moment to realize that Paul was the only Davis most of this base would know. The scientist had called Claire's counterpart Doctor Black. Seeing his error, Zack nodded to Paul.

"I meant the other Davis." he grumbled to Sarah.

Turning to Paul, Zack gave a uncomfortable laugh, running his fingers through his hair, he wondered, just what the h3ll he was going to say.

Zack took a moment to study Paul, this was the first time he had ever met the man, knowing this will be his only chance to talk to his counterparts father-in-law. Finding that sensation odd, Zack squirmed.

Claire went on him, Zack noted. Her posture, her way of talking seem to come from her father. Her eyes and hair were same as Paul's. She was more of her father's daughter then he realized.

Now he knew why Claire broke down after she saw him. Their bond, which even a blind person could have noticed, was too strong to be broken. Damn it, Davis, he though, I wasn't there for you. Even in Paul's eyes there was the sadness and loss which would never fully leave.

"I uh, " he cleared his throat, "I was asking for the other Davis," seeing the bemusement in Paul's eyes, "Uh..Claire." he confirmed, rocking on his heels and swore when the Major's eye hardened.

Not knowing what to say, Zack let the silence take over.

Within mere seconds Harvey materialised in the AU Mirror Room, cart in hand. She'd never get used to that sensation and was a little disorintated. She looked about for someone to tell her what had been happening in her absense. Then decided it would be a good idea to move away from the mirror so McCoy could come through.

(Sorry for the brief post but Im not too sure who's about and whats happening! Would appreciate it if someone could nudge me in the right dirrection :) )

[max_omega]

Josh had been keeping an eye on the mirror that McCoy and Col. Harvey would be coming through, he saw her approah and rematerialize. "Col., your back, glad to see you got what you need. Major Pratt took Captain Tyler and Mrs Taylor on a tour of the base. Once McCoy gets back he will be your escort around the base."

"We had an earthquake and our facility is underground, it got busted up pretty bad" she paused remebering the destruction and kaos. "That kinda put the spanner in the works, this was one of the only options we had. With this planet being within our 302's flight range and our rescent mission here uncovering the mirror facility we thought we'd try our luck. And so far it seems to be holding out." She smiled at the Major, she new her relaties conterpart only in brief passing, she still hadnt had much time to socialise back on Gaia. She looked at the mirror again wondering where McCoy could have gotten to.

Major Paul Davis

Reading this Zack's movements Paul gave the Doc sometime to gather his though and waited.

He had to feel a bit sorry for the Alter Zack, getting the two Davises mixed up wasn't easy. This was one reason his Claire had added Black to her name. Seeing her Alter hurt, more than he knew.

After about ten minutes Paul cleared his throat, getting Black's attention.

Zack sighed, still not knowing what to say or even how to say it. Aww damn, he scowled at himself. "Sorry," he muttered as he approached Paul. Seeing the other man nod, Zack continued, "It was my mistake. It isn't easy, calling Claire, a Black." he gave Paul a sheepish look as he itched his lower head.

He was still absorbing the fact, their counterparts were actually married and had kid. While he knew that Claire and him weren't likely to get together, it didn't stop him from wondering. Stop him from hoping that maybe one day, they might have a chance if she loved him in return.

Paul's deep chuckle, brought him back to present, "You two aren't....." Paul trailed off. It wasn't his place to know, or to ask.

Zack shook his head. "No, We are friends and that's it." more than friends maybe, he thought, when he heard Sarah snort, he glared at her.

"Oh," Paul said in surprise. "I thought you know," he waved his hands at Zack. "were together."

"Maybe I should go back and see where he got to" Harvey offered after a few minutes of patient waiting. She didnt know where he could have gotten to,unless... " Crap! I wonder if the wear bear's friends caught up with him" she stated for no one in particular "we need to go back."

[max_omega]

<Major Josh Ezekiel- AU Mirror Room>

Wear bears, oh wait the Shajgar, they must have problems with them in there reality. Josh thought to himself, he than looked over at the mirror that she came through, "Alright, I will come you, Col." He stood up from his place and walked over to the mirror turning to Pierce he said, "Captain you are in charge. Lead the way ma'am."

Zack snorted, "Can't break a rule of being a best friend now, can I?" he asked Paul. Even though he already had broken one. Wanting to change the topic, "How did they meet?" he asked Paul, softly, in way wanting to know.

Paul considered the question carefully. What did it matter how they met, but they met, but knowing that this Zack wanted to know. Seeing his daughter happy had been his top priority and still was, even with the her Alter.

The other Clarie wasn't all that different, expect the fact she was a Air Force Officer. His blood still ran in her Alter's veins.

Zack studied Paul, the older man was deep in though. He sighed, he had push wrong buttons and for that he was sorry. The other man had just seen his daughter's counterpart alive and was still getting used to it and here he was, poking into the memories that were too painful.

You idiot, he scowled at himself for the second time today. "You don't have to you tell me." Zack said.

Paul shook his head, "That's not it." he replied, his eyes still distant with memories. It was just, he didn't know how to tell this Zack.

With an after thought he handed her his Zat too "Thanks its appreciated" she said with a smile and a nod of thanks. Turning back to the Major she added "the Shajgar in our reality dont think so highly of us, Id hate for him to have bumped into one." She checked her newly aquired P90 over and loaded the first round into the chamber, as always she'd be ready if there was trouble. "Lets go then" she reached out for the mirror her fingers not quites touching the surface "together on three?"

A blink of the eye and the three of them materialised infront of the Mirror Room team. They were greeted with looks of puzzlement as they took in the unconcious McCoy. "I think we could do with a medical team" Harvey nodded to the prone figure.

A call was put out and Harvey looked about for the cart and generator. Spying it in a corner out of the way she relaxed that things were back on track. "Erm I think these are yours" she handed back the weapons to the the man she'd borrowed them from, she noticed his name tag "Thanks Pierce".

Pierce took back his weapons, "No Problem ma'am. What happened?" He asked than spotted the undone shoe lace. Pierce grabbed his radio, "Medical team to the Mirror room, repeat medical team to the Mirror Room."

"Well McCoy is never going to live that down," Josh thought for a moment than look at his watch, he still had half his shift here, "I am going to make a quick call, to see who we can get to be your escort ma'ma."

He stood up from McCoy as Pierce took up position next to him to monitor his viatals until the medical team arrived. "Major Ezekiel to Col. Sharp," he waited a few seconds, "McCoy was injured so the AU Col. Harvey needs a new escort. Would you like me to escort her to the main base."

Paul at least should have found her by now, unless she went back onto the daze Claire had been in earlier. I should have gone, he sighed to get her.

Josh listned carefully to his radio, "Alright Colonel Harvey, I will be your escort to the main base, so you can meet up with your team."

While he was telling her this, a medical team arrived and began to check out McCoy, who was still unconscious. "We are going to get him to the medical bay, there we can fully evaluate him." They got him on a gurney and took him throught another entrance to the infirmary that was set up for the mirror room.

Josh turned to Pierce, "You are in charge till I get back," Pierce nodded, "Alright Colonel if you are ready I will escort you to the main base."

"Williams" the man replied politely.

"Dr Williams, is this the only translating lab?" getting a nod out of Williams, Zack nodded. "So all this actually available for our use?"

"And I thought your counterpart's kid was trouble" Williams laughed. "I can now see where the kid gets his love for trouble."

Throwing the paper ball in the basket with a intentional near miss, Zack snickered. "Looking for trouble is Davis's department, in my reality," there was fondness in his voice for the pretty lieutenant.

Which wasn't missed by either Williams or Whitely, who exchanged glances with a knowing smirks on their faces, "What?" he asked with a deliberate straight and blank face.

[ Sarah Whitely ]

"Nuthin'." Sarah replied to Zachs comment but secretly rolled her eyes in Williams direction.

Getting back to the game in hand Sarah grabbed some more paper, scrunched it up and threw it into the basket, but this time bounced it off the wall.

"Oh yes!" Sarah cried and punched the air whilst getting some strange looks from the other occupants of the room.

"But, about Claire, what you gonna do about her?"

Giving Whitley a frown, "What you mean 'do' about her?" he asked as he tore a paper, made a ball and aimed. "I like said earlier to Paul, now I'm telling you," he stopped aiming and turned to Whitely, giving her a soft look, "She and I are friends, nothing more."

He was actually starting to believe his own lie that Clarie and him were only friends.

"If you keep telling yourself that, maybe you'll believe it." She said seriously then added to herself Take the chance before it goes... Shaking herself out of her reverie Sarah smiled at Zach and threw another paper ball into the bin. Score!
