(This, by the way, is why following the reading order is crucial. No chapter-hopping allowed!)

We rejoin them now, free from Cassandra's Force-induced vision of torment. But the adventure's far from over. A mysterious Time Lord awaits Sam... and if you've been keeping up, you know the Doctor and Samantha Carter O'Neill Baas are destined to become not just friends, but a force for good that the universe desperately needs.

This chapter unveils a pivotal moment in their history, a revelation that will shatter your perception of the Doctor. Imagine a universe where their paths never crossed. The Doctor's adventures, forever altered. Meanwhile, a woman shrouded in secrecy, our very own Sam, embarks on a journey of self-discovery, unearthing a past shrouded in shadows. Prepare for untold stories that will challenge everything you thought you knew.

The day after her unsettling conversation with her mother, a conversation that now felt woven into the very fabric of reality, Sam clung desperately to a sense of normalcy. With each passing moment, the world seemed to tilt further on its axis, plunging her deeper into the bizarre. "This overwhelming feeling of dread... it's coming from my alternate. What happened to her? Why was she taken? I feel completely helpless, like I'm watching a nightmare unfold. It's as if I'm there with her, trapped in those Spice mines..."

The familiar ache of self-pity threatened to engulf her, mirroring the fate of her alternate. Trapped and powerless, she knew fighting was futile. "Who is this Doctor Mom mentioned?" she rasped, her voice laced with desperation. "and how the hell did I get tangled up with him? I need some answers before this whole mess comes crashing down on me again."

As on cue, Cassandra always came to her when she felt very sad and depressed. Usually, she would get Sam to talk to her, but this time she did not say anything and sat quietly beside her.

Finally, Sam stated, "I take it by now Jack told you our conversations with Mom?"

Again, Cassandra said nothing.

"Oh, Cassie, I think I am screwed up!"

She smiled, "No, you aren't! You're so confused, it feels a lot worse than being mentally screwed up. If I knew you weren't, I would be scolding you by now."

Sam gave a half-smile, "I was wondering why you were quiet." She paused, "what do you know of this Time Lord that I'm supposed to meet and get to know?"

"To be honest, nothing at all. This is for you to discover. For Mom to tell you this as well as you get this information, I have to say he will be a very important person in your life."

"I hope so. I am starting to believe I'm not your Sister at all."

She smiled, "Then who are you, my goofy human?"

She did not smile back, "A person that just doesn't know anymore."

"Listen to me, human." She did not say anything until she gave her the undivided attention she wanted, "dan nie ktan. Dan anan Culrlohse'a O'Neill, vil ji bu bo dan cahsinark jasshi'rr li'ki. Do arnian ktan ish anan dan anasan gareu Do ktan. «Spoken in Ryl: you do know. You love Jack O'Neill, and the two of you will marry soon. I also know he loves you like no one I know.»"

Sam finally gave her a warm smile, "Birnan, sei anan Cme'as. «Thanks, my loving Twi'lek.»"

She gave a warm smile back, "Do anan dan, cla, sei anan foh Numa. «Spoken in Ryl: I love you, too, my loving human Sister.»"
