Tython and Sam Carter

Chapter 8: Finding Major Samantha Carter

Hothok asked her husband, "Farm-boy, are you serious?"

"What I was told by George on how we found her by us in the alternate reality — yes, I am."

She had to admit he had a solid argument, but she was not convinced, "Can two of them exist in the same space and time?"

"I have thought about that. Telling this alternate there is another persona of her and her team is here in this galaxy would not be a wonderful thing. How's our Sam has described what this alternate had been through, she need not know anything we know right now."

Once we rescue her and her Wookie friend, then I will talk to Her Majesty privately. If anyone knows what to do and how to do things, it would be her."

A Wookiee is a towering hirsute creature hailing from the lush, arboreal planet Kashyyyk. Standing at an average height of around eight feet, Wookiees are covered from head to toe in a thick coat of hair, which ranges in color from dark brown to black, and sometimes even shades of gray or blonde. They possess a formidable physical strength, which, coupled with their intrinsic loyalty and a strong sense of honor, makes them both valuable allies and fearsome enemies. Wookiees have a distinct vocalization that is a series of growls and roars, unintelligible to most but understood amongst their kind and those fluent in Shyriiwook, the Wookiee language. Their faces feature a prominent mouth, large blue or brown eyes, and a slightly protruding jaw, giving them a somewhat fierce visage. Despite their intimidating appearance, Wookiees are known for their intelligence, sophisticated technology, and a deep connection with nature, living in massive tree-cities that rise high above the forest floor of their homeworld.

Ituor rubbed his chin for a bit in thought. He finally said, "It will take some time to find the right mine. There are so many." He paused, "here or Coruscant, they are more factories than mines, but for some damn ass reasons, the drug lords call them that."

Hothok smiled, "I know it is stupid, but despite all that, we need to be secretive. This is the same Samantha Carter. It is highly likely she will have the same abilities and intelligence." She paused and continued, "how powerful she is in the Force, I am sure it will not take long for you to find her."

After Hothok told the others, Hammond was the only one that showed no surprise expressions — one damn bit. Dr. Janet Fraiser was with them. Since Cassandra was her adopted mother, she wanted to spend time with them both in a galaxy far, far away. Janet asked, "Sir, you're amazing. How can you know so much about her and act like it was nothing?"

He smiled, "To be honest with you, doctor, I wondered that myself, but I knew I had to not only keep silent but act like I didn't know a single damn thing."

Daniel asked, "What will they find after they rescue her and this Wookie friend of hers?"

"A hell of a lot, but it will be a little at a time. That's how we should live life, Daniel. The rest will be up to our Sam Carter to take it from there."

Janet asked, "What can we do — for the time being?"

"Be here for our Sam. I will let you learn more from her. If I am right, she knows all that will happen from now on."

Teal'c said, "Believe it or not, what happens to the Sam Carter that is in the mines as we speak will affect — our own."

Janet asked him, "So she is being attacked even though it is another in the mines?"

He answered, "Yes and no. What I was referring to — she won't allow others to suffer due to her or any other reason. This, of course, isn't an obsession but the character we all know of Sam Carter."

Janet asked, "I would like to know how they could have kidnapped her and brought her here. The SGC is the most defensive top-secret place on Earth."

He seriously looked at her and said, "As we have done when I was in the service of the System Lord, Apophis — we bring them to us."
