Tython and Sam Carter

Chapter 11: Who is Sam Carter, After All

The very fabric of reality seems to ripple with countless timelines, each whispering a different truth about Samantha Carter. Ten tales have already been spun, exploring her encounters with Jedi Knights from a galaxy seemingly intertwined with our own. But these weren't the Jedi you know.

They arrived on Earth a mind-boggling trillion years ago — a timeframe so vast it defies comprehension. Did they truly live that long, or is there a deeper mystery at play? Perhaps the truth lies somewhere between legend and forgotten history.

Despite ten prior stories, the true depth of Sam Carter's influence remains uncharted. Master Jedi Brandon Bowers himself hinted at the arrogance of these ancient Jedi. Remember Jack's opening line, "Lighter the picture, darker the negative?" These Jedi were not the stoic guardians you envision. They were fallible beings, wielding the Force just like any other — with the potential for both light and shadow.

The sheer scope of this narrative can be overwhelming. Unanswered questions multiply with each revelation. The age-old conundrum — what came first, the chicken or the egg? — finds a surprising echo in one of Sam's past encounters with her Padawan. Did she truly pose this question, and if so, what does it imply?

And then there's the matter of Samantha Carter O'Neill Baas. Yes, Baas — a significant detail we'll delve into later. While her marriage to Jack O'Neill remains a future event in this particular timeline, their eventual union becomes a cornerstone across realities, a testament to their enduring bond. It's a bond that transcends the boundaries of time itself.

But when did Sam bestow the power of the Force upon these ancient beings? Was it a gift freely given, or was there a period of cautious observation? How long did it take for them to earn her trust with this immense power, considering their initial arrogance?

This story thrives on these unanswered questions. It's a living entity, eager to share its secrets with you, the reader. It possesses a life force far exceeding our own, blurring the lines between reality and metaphor. It's your job to discern the truth within its pages.

This is a journey that demands your complete attention. Chapter hopping would be a catastrophic misstep. From the very first page depicting Sam Carter to the very last (if there even is one), a meticulously woven narrative awaits.

These ancient Jedi, nurtured and trained by Sam, became the foundation of what we know today. But their past is shrouded in a veil. You wouldn't recognize them in their former state. Their trillion-year lifespan is a mere fabrication, a distortion lost in the labyrinth of time. Perhaps it's a past they'd rather keep buried.

Even now, within the familiar confines of the SGC on Earth, Sam, Jack, and General Hammond stand united. Meanwhile, Daniel delves deeper into forbidden knowledge on the mysterious planet Tython.

This is just the beginning. Prepare to be swept away on a thrilling adventure through time, space, and countless realities. The enigma of Sam Carter awaits...

After using the Force, Sam said in the conference room at the SGC, "My Master is fine for the moment."

Hammond asked, "Why would you think someone will attack him now? I understand the possible threats, but he isn't close to being a Jedi."

"At first I thought I was overreacting, but I can't shake the possible attacks he could face. I am an officer that has faced countless disciplines and adversities to prepare me to be a Major of the United States of America Air Force. The alternate of mine is suffering from all she went through. What type of suffering would he go through without all that training? Despite my alternate's training; she is suffering more than you may know."
