What Comes Of Dreams Chapter 39 The
group trudged on in silence for some time until they were only a short distance
from the gate. As the gate came into
view, Daniel and Sam stopped short and nearly had the rest of the troop collide
into their backs. “What’s
the hold up?” Jacob called out in
frustration. “Uhm, that
would be that.” Daniel said pointing to
the two glowing orbs floating in front of the gate. As
the group positioned themselves to see what Daniel was talking about, the two
orbs drifted in front of them until they were but a few feet away. The orbs elongated and started taking on
human shape as their light brightened.
As the light cleared, Daniel stood speechless at seeing Oma and Shifu in front of them. “Hello
Daniel.” Oma said with a loving
smile. “I see that you have finally
gained the courage to be with the one you gave up ascension for.” As
Daniel looked down in embarrassment, Sam gapped between him and Oma at while
she processed what she had just heard. “You
should be very happy with Daniel.” Shifu began. “It was
often hard for Oma to drag Daniel away from you during his time amongst us, unlike
what you believe.” “Not
to be a pessimist, but you two aren’t here to take Daniel away again are yall?” Jack asked in
annoyance. “No
Colonel O’Neill.” Oma spoke as if
talking to a child. “We came to merely lay to rest a few of the questions that are on all of your
minds.” “Of
which questions do you bring the answers to?”
Teal’c asked. Looking
around at the confused, concerned, and defensive group in front of them, Oma
and Shifu glanced at one another for a few moments. “There
is a question as to what occurred with Samantha when she disappeared from the
infirmary when she was being held after Jolinar resurfaced.” Shifu spoke. “That was our doing so that we could right a
wrong.” “What
wrong did you righten?” Jack asked belligerently. “The
Tok’ra have fought long and hard against a force of
evil for a long time.” Shifu continued unfazed by Jack. “Their numbers have become nearly extinct and
they have not a queen to repopulate.” “That
is well known amongst the Tok’ra and the Tau’ri.” Teal’c spoke.
“But, how are you and OmaDeSala correcting
this problem?” “During
the time that we took Samantha and Jolinar, we altered Jolinar to be a
queen.” Shifu
said smiling at the group. Sam,
Daniel, and Jacob were busy doing an imitation of a fish, while Jack just
looked on. Taking a few minutes to
process what they had been told, it was Jolinar that spoke first. “You
changed me into a queen?” Jolinar asked
in disbelief using Sam’s voice. “I am to
be the one to bring about more Tok’ra?” “Yes,
you are to be the new queen to the Tok’ra, with Daniel being your mate.” Oma replied with a grin. “As
for another question, the one concerning what is happening to Daniel.” Shifu picked up the
conversation. “The
effects of the substance that Daniel ingested are permanent.” Oma picked up the thread. “There was a residual gene that was left
behind from his time amongst us and this substance activated it. The abilities he had demonstrated are what he
shall have, similar to being a host without having a symbiote.” “But
isn’t this breaking the rules of the others in not interfering?” Daniel asked regaining his power of speech. “It
is not.” Oma said knowing Daniel would
ask this. “The others decided it is
correcting an oversight.” “What
about Daniel?” Jack asked. “Did y’all have anything to do with this
thing that has happened to him?” “No.” Shifu stated with a
grin. “What happened to Daniel happened
without our guidance, though we were preparing to correct an oversight on his
behalf.” “Sweet!” Jack
exclaimed. “Will
the grok have the same effects on others?”
Sam asked kicking into scientist mode. “The
substance you call “grok” will only heal others of your kind.” Shifu
responded. “It will not have the effects
on anyone else as it did on Daniel.” “Bummer.” Jack
frowned. “It would be great to be able
to not be taken as a host like Daniel was able to avoid.” “It
was not because of the “grok” that Daniel was not taken as a host.” Oma replied with a huge smile. “That was because of him having been ascended
and descended. His genetics are not the
same as a symbiote can use.” “So, no more worrying about Daniel being snaked.” Jack replied.
“That is nice to know with as much as he likes to play with the
Goa’uld.” “We
must go, our time to be amongst you has lapsed.” Shifu said bowing. “Will
we see you again?” Daniel asked looking
at Oma and Shifu. “Winding
rivers often cross one another on the path towards the
great sea.” Oma responded as she and Shifu turned back into balls of light and hurled into the
sky. Shaking
himself out of his awe, Jack looked over at the way Daniel and Sam were holding
one another and smiled. Today was more
than a good day, it was a great day! “Daniel!” Jack barked demanding the archeologist’s
attention. “Dial us home.” Releasing
his hold on Sam’s hands and breaking away from her, Daniel walked over to the
DHD and began punching in the sequence for Earth. “Man,
is there going to be one hell of a party when the Tok’ra find out about
this!” Jacob said with a huge smile
while the group descended the ramp. Reaching
the bottom of the ramp, General Hammond scanned over the group and spoke with a
relieved voice. “I see that you are
minus one member of your expedition, Colonel.
I take it that everything worked out?” “Yes
sir.” Jack responded with a blinding
grin. “We have one heck of a debriefing
for you.” “All right
people.” Hammond said while thinking
that things are always interesting with SG1.
“Report to the infirmary for your post-mission and I will see you all in
the briefing room in one hour.” The End Of Return To Will's Section Of The Daniel Jackson Library Go To The Daniel Jackson Library Home Page This story along with all original characters and situations were created
