Chapter 16- 2003 Season 7

AN: The first 2 episodes of Season 7 don't happen in my AU because Daniel never ascended and Jonas was never captured.

A very interesting incident occurred a few weeks after getting back from Abydos. A young man tried getting into the base by claiming to be Jack. It didn't take too much for Harry's scans to show that the teenager was in fact a clone of Jack. Apparently an Asgard scientist named Loki cloned Jack in order to figure out if he was an advanced enough human to give the Asgard clues into figuring out their own genetic problem.

They found this all out when they contacted Thor. Harry didn't detect the ship right away because the Asgard had been experimenting with new cloaking fields after Thor's defeat by several of Anubis' ships. The problem with the clone was caused because Jack is of squib descent. With another generation or two the Alteran genes would probably reemerge. The Asgard cloning technology didn't take into account Jack's very small zpe core (not enough to do anything beyond controlling Alteran mind interface technology and being extremely lucky in bad situations because of accidental usage of small abilities in times of extreme distress).

This made the clone, who they decided to call Jon, unstable. Thor attributed the clone's instability to a genetic marker that the Asgard placed into Jack to prevent cloning but Harry knew he was just saying that to cover up for the fact that he didn't understand completely why the cloning didn't work properly. Loki would have detected a genetic marker if there was one; he was a geneticist after all.

Thor "corrected" the instability at Jack's request, as far as he could tell. After Harry managed to convince the air force to let him take care of setting up Jon with a new life he EMed him to secrecy and took him to AP. He used his technology to fix the defect that Thor could not detect. While he was at it Harry reactivated the dormant Alteran genes to make Jon full Alteran. After he was done with school (which wouldn't take him long at all thanks to his Alteran genes) Jon would probably become a Star employee.

Devices like the one used to implant the knowledge of the Alteran repository directly into the brain were used in Alteran schooling so that all Alteran citizens had at the very least the equivalent of a masters degree in all of the basic subjects that earth taught. They began with the first subject at age six, which was just above the minimum safe age to use the device, and continued from there subject by subject.

The device could not be used by full humans without some serious modifications and then only to a very limited extent. It would be uncontrolled and dump the entire database into the human's brain if they tried because it was controlled by the user's zpe core. If a squib tried using the device the knowledge would still be dumped but because they have a small zpe core they would survive a lot longer than a full human, probably long enough to get help.

AN: Orpheus will be slightly different because all of SG-1 is wearing the age band so if they were wounded it would heal pretty damn quick, Bratac is also wearing the band. Ryac is still on earth living with his mother and Teal'c.

A few days after the cloning incident Harry got a communication from Bratac, saying that he had been captured and sent to a naquadah mine operated by Anubis. Apparently the stubborn old Jaffa waited until he was completely sure he couldn't escape himself to contact his Tauri friends for help (Jaffa and their pride). The gate on the planet in question was protected by a force field that Harry was confident he could penetrate if required but that was unnecessary.
