Here we stand, at the dawn of the 21st century. Did the thought cross your mind that you might slip from my memory? Cast aside such concerns — my commitment to remember you is unwavering. We find ourselves just a few months shy of the Momentous occasion when Chari will make her grand entrance into the world.

What do you see before you? Are you curious to unravel the tale of how Chari came to be a unique blend of human and Twi'lek heritage?

As I've previously mentioned, the breadth of knowledge required for full comprehension is substantial. However, to facilitate a quicker grasp of the situation, I'll provide you with a concise overview. It has been revealed that Master Jedi Brandon Bowers embarked on an unprecedented journey through time. His mission: to mentor his future mentor in the ways of the Jedi, preparing him for the esteemed role of a Jedi Knight.

Perplexed by the introduction? As I've iterated before, time does not adhere to a linear progression. The tales of the Jedi Master's temporal voyage pertain to an alternate dimension — perhaps it's more apt to describe it as a fragmented reality. To avoid delving into the complexities, let's just say in this particular version of events, Captain Samantha Carter was engaged with the Stargate on Earth when, quite unexpectedly, four entities made their entrance through the portal.

Emerging from the depths of a distant galaxy, four travelers crossed the cosmic expanse, among them was Sam's long-estranged sister—a Twi'lek of verdant hue named Skyma Talle. In a poignant reunion, Skyma stands by her sister's side at a Momentous time: Sam is expectant, carrying her Daughter within. This child, named Chari, is yet unborn, but already her destiny is whispered among the stars. Skyma, seizing a Moment of sisterly intimacy, confided in Sam about the forthcoming birth. Chari is to be a beacon of unity — the inaugural child born of both human and Twi'lek lineage, a harmonious blend of two worlds.

Sam was the living tapestry of an alien species' genetic architecture. Despite both of Chari's parents being human, she emerged as a hybrid, embodying traits from two lineages—a concept straightforward in its essence. Redirecting our focus to the crux of the narrative—ah, indeed, Master Jedi Brandon Bowers. In the saga 'Stargate Command,' it was unveiled that his transition to this reality was orchestrated by his Daughter, with the assistance of a regal figure from antiquity, a sovereign whom Amanda encountered in the annals of history.

His presence in this reality serves as a shield, safeguarding Sam Carter from the overwhelming might of the Dark Side of the Force. It also affords her the opportunity to ascend to the esteemed rank of a full Jedi Knight, mirroring her status in the alternate reality from which Master Jedi Brandon Bowers and his companions hail. Indeed, there is a wealth of knowledge to be absorbed to truly comprehend the enigma that is Chari Skale Carter O'Neill.

Let's embark on a quest to discover Sam's abode and delve into her current endeavors. Our location? It's quite simple — we find ourselves on the serene planet of Naboo. Is this your inaugural journey to an extraterrestrial world? Then I bid you a warm welcome to Naboo. At first glance, it may bear a striking resemblance to Earth, with its lush forests and breathtaking natural spectacles. Yet, as you settle into life here, you'll begin to notice the subtle and not-so-subtle distinctions. Fear not, for I shall be your steadfast companion, guiding you every step of the way. Our destination is not a distant one; Sam's residence is but a short stroll from here. Ah, there it stands—directly before us. Let us approach with quiet anticipation and observe the unfolding scene.

"Master! You need not be doing things around the house. You have me to help you."

Sam smiled, "I know Michiko, but I'm getting restless. I did more when I had Richard in me."
