Unscheduled offworld activation!
What the hell was that?
I don't know sir…
Uh, we're receiving sg-1's IDC.
They're back early, open the iris.
There was nothing on your end?
Nothing out of the ordinary to account for what we heard?
No sir… it was perfectly routine… we just dialed the gate and stepped through.
Gate diagnostics showed no irregularities…
Still I’d like you to double check the data once we're done here.
Yes sir.
Tell me about the planet.
Well… We can confirm that the locals were visited by a prior two weeks ago…
He performed the standard miracles… healed the sick, cured the blind and…
passed out the usual literature.
The natives are easy pickings… they feel as though they were abandoned by their god Amaterasu, and now...
Ba'al.
Excuse me?
You said Amaterasu… according to the background file, P4R was once under Ba'al's control.
P4R? Sir, we… we went to PX7 455.
I believe you have the wrong report.
Anyway, the Tok'ra have been monitoring the in roads that the Orii have been making in the region for quite some time.
- According to Selmak they are taking advantage of the relationships between... - Did you just say Selmak ?!
- Indeed. - Teal'c, Selmak is dead.
Uh, Sir…
Selmak and Jacob are very much alive.
Offworld activation!
- Chief? - Its SG-1's IDC sir.
This is when they were originally scheduled to come back.
Defense teams stand by.
Open the Iris.

Well, according to the tests I've run, they're both SG-1, identical in every way.
How's that possible?
Well, we know Ba'al is able to produce adult clones of himself.
Presumably he could do the same with our people… given samples of their DNA.
That doesn't explain how they knew SG-1s IDC.
And if their Intel was good enough to get their hands on something that sensitive.
Then how come they didn't know about Selmak?
Yeah, it’s like they got the hard stuff right and the easy stuff wrong.
Ba'al would have known better.
Yeah, you know the first team was making some pretty wild claims about people in past events.
And since the second team came back from the right planet at the scheduled time,
it's safe to assume that they're the real SG-1.
Okay, then whose the other team and where'd they come from?
Exactly.
We checked their story out, we went to PX7-445, the planet they claimed to have gated in from,
the locals there swore they'd never laid eyes on us.
So, this other team is lying…
Not necessarily sir… it's possible they did gate in from PX7…
Just not the PX7 that we know.
The multi-verse theory of quantum physics deposits the existence of parallel universes…
an infinite number of ever growing realities that exist concurrently with our own…
the theory holds that anything that can happen… will happen…
if not in this reality then in another.
So you're saying that somewhere in an alternate universe…
I got to second base with Amy Pandenberg.
Theoretically… yes.
Boggles the mind, don't it?
We're part of a meta-verse in which individual subuniverses are being continually generated,
our own experience with the quantum mirror proved as much.
Realities can exist where we never defeated the Goa'uld,
or the Stargate program went public,
and Selmak is still alive.
Exactly.
Now, while it may seem immediate the journey between Gates is not instantaneous.
It wakes on average 0.3 seconds travel time.
However according to Gate diagnostics, the travel time for the other SG-1 team clocked in at 3.4 seconds,
suggesting a significantly longer trip.
Ok, say for example we accept the possibility that this is an alternate SG-1 from a...
parallel universe.
How did they get here?
I got nothing…
yet!
Amatra Mandheling, one cream, two sugars.
Lucky Guess…
usually have instant myself.
So, I'm guessing this almost feels like home, doesn't it?
Almost like home…
but if it was home,
I'd be sitting where your sitting and you'd be sitting here telling me:
"I'd love to help you but I have no idea what's going on."
I'm thinking one of two possible scenarios:
A- Carter's right and you're from an alternate universe,
in which case we'll do everything we can to get you back home.
Or B- you're not who you say you are,
in which case we need to find out what you're really after.
Actually, there's a third scenario:
C
- You’re not who you say you are
and it's up to us to find out what you're after.
I understand your reluctance to trust us…
but rest assured we're just as eager to get to the bottom of this as you are.
No offence but I'm not entirely sold on the alternate world theory,
there was nothing on our mission to PX7 that would even hint at it.
No quantum mirror, no weird alien artifacts…
It was a routine op…
But you're telling me that somehow, the gate sent us through to a parallel universe…
even though we know its not suppose to work like that.
And yet here you are...
Assuming of course this is the SGC.
SG-1, six years ago, wake up in what they think is the SGC…
turns out they're not really on Earth and its all part of an elaborate Goa'uld plot.
Pegasus Galaxy…
last year…
a team from the Atlantis base gates through to what they think is the SGC…
turns out they're not really on Earth…
its another planet and they're being manipulated by aliens.
Let me put your mind at ease, we are neither the Goa'uld nor manipulative aliens.
You'll forgive me sir if I don't take your word for it.
We won our freedom in the battle for Dakara…
and on that day not only did we defeat Ba'al and the replicators…
you ensured that Anubis would never again threaten this Galaxy…
and then all Jaffa were united under our new leader, Bra'tac.
Bra'tac?
Really… that-that that hasn't happened here yet.
And with the new threat to this galaxy I returned to SG-1.
Right, along with Colonel Mitchell, myself and eventually Colonel Carter.
- Who rejoined following her? - Following her Honeymoon…
What?
No, I was gonna say following her stay on the Prometheus…
Honeymoon?
Indeed.
We weren't able to stop the Orii from establishing the second beachhead,
by the time we realized it was too late they had already sent their ships through.
If it happened in our reality,
there's a good chance it could happen in ours as well…
They destroyed Chulak, Dakara, most of the Jaffa strongholds…
It’s only a matter of time before they attack earth…
you have to find a way to get us back.
I'm working on it.
I've been going over the gate diagnostics…
And?
There was an unidentifiable energy strike just prior to your arrival…
It’s almost certainly related to the sound they heard but I'm still analyzing the data.
We were on PX7 for over 24 hours gathering Intel,
and yet when your team went back to the planet no one recognized you…
Now, that suggests our point of departure was definitely in our universe…
so what ever happened…
has to have happened between the time you stepped through the gate on your end…
and the time you stepped through the gate on this end.
Except the gate system isn't designed to transport matter between universes,
it isn't designed to take you back in time either but it has before…
Did you notice any…?
No unusual weather patters or solar flare activity at the time.
Then is it conceivable something else could have affected the wormhole…
What could possibly exert that kind of influence on a sub-space matter stream…
- A black-hole. - A black-hole.
As we discussed the situation we realized we could pinpoint the source of the phenomenon to a precise window,
specifically the in term journey between the two gates.
Did she just say we?
- Pardon me? - She said we…
You said we-ee???
Ah, me and myself...
I suppose… the other Samantha Carter.
Right someone who can finally keep up with ya huh?
Yep.
Ok… this is PX7-455 their point of departure…
and this is earth their point of arrival…
that brought then here across this section of space bisecting this singularity.
The Black hole that was created when we destroyed the Orii beachhead.
Exactly.
Now I'm theorizing that when they bisected the singularity subspace was ruptured,
creating a rift in the space-time continuum that brought that SG-1 in to this universe,
but we've had teams gate in from locations on the other side of that black hole in our universe...
- Why weren't they affected? - Uh… one more stupid question.
Oh… sir yours was fine…
Mine is stupid.
Why didn't we end up on alternate PX7,
when we gated through to check out bizarre SG-1s story.
I can't answer that…
As far as I know the deviation was one way and specific to that particular wormhole.
However, just to be on the safe side, I would suggest that we re-route all gate travel around the singularity for the time being.
Unscheduled offworld activation.
What do you have for me now Walter?
Sir, it’s SG-1's IDC…
Again.
Do you want me to send a confirmation?
If another team comes through they'll just be stranded like the first one.
Receiving radio transmission.
Let’s hear it.
Stargate Command, this is Mitchell. What’s the hold up?!
We've got a situation here.
Sir if we don't open the Iris…
Stargate Command do you read?
Defense teams!
Open the Iris.
What the hell's going on?
So much for this phenomenon being restricted to one wormhole.
I may have underestimated it's influence.
It’s possible the first spatial tear may have caused a ripple effect across several realities…
transforming an area of their subspace into a kind of… funnel,
that's redirecting their gate travel to this universe.
Any wormhole passing close enough to the black hole is being drawn into the singularity and… rerouted here.
So you're telling me we're the Hub.
The convergence point, yes Sir.
It might account for why gate travel in this universe wasn't affected.
- Might account…
- Colonel Mitchell. - Sir.
Inform all off world teams to proceed to the alpha site
until further notice gate travel to and from Stargate command will be suspended indefinitely.
What if there are more teams coming in hot sir?
I'm willing to make the occasional exception but I am not about to turn this base in to the grand central station of the multi-verse.
Dismissed.
Why is it that every team that has come through the gate so far has been exclusively an alternate SG-1?
I mean… how come no alternate SG-2's or SG-3s? Huh?
Well SG-1 is the frontline team, the one most likely to get into trouble off world.
And as a result the team we'd most likely have to let through.
Right…
Uh… so far we've had to turn back over 50 teams and not all of them have been SG-1.
Here’s the really interesting part… each team from each reality has dialed in from a different point of origin,
no repeats,
all originating from a corridor of space starting from earth and passing within a few degrees of the singularity…
But what about that superfluous energy signature?
Has that happened again?
No.
Not since the first alternate team dialed in.
Any idea what it was?
I'm not sure… but it reminds me of the incident on...
G'tal.
In that case we introduced an unstable super heavy element into their Sun's nuclear reaction.
When the wormhole that brought us there passed directly through it.
But in this case the wormhole’s passing through a black hole,
so who knows what the effect would be.
I thought we could use the help…
uh…I…uh…I guess two heads are better than one.
Unscheduled offworld activation.
Let’s get to work.
General.
Oh I was just about to come find you…
I've contacted Bra'tac on Dakara,
he has dispatched a mother ship to the location provided to us by the other Colonel Carter.
If the Orii attempt to establish a second beach head the Jaffa should give us a heads up…
Presuming of course if events play out the same way in both universes…
To this point the particulars of the varying universes have remained remarkable similar.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Another SG-1 came through the Gate 20 minutes ago,
which puts the count at 12 teams, not including yourselves.
Well… at least we're in good company…
Well… this last team was a little different in terms of personnel…
How so?
Well… there's someone I thought you might like to talk to.
Daniel? Teal'c? Where's General O'Neill?
I'm sure you all have a lot to catch up on.
Janet…?
Dr. Frasier?
What's going on here?
Ugh Janet… this, this may look like home to you but its not…
This is not the Stargate Command you left,
we're not the Daniel and Teal'c you know…
You and your team gated to a parallel reality…
This is an alternate SGC… on an alternate Earth in an alternate universe.
In our reality Dr. Janet Frasier died 2 years ago.
16 different SG-1s…
16 different points of Origin…
but only one point of convergence, this universe.
Now… given the fact that previous trips though the black hole didn't produce a rupture in the subspace structure.
They may not have produced the rupture,
but it is entirely possible that their repeated trips contributed to the deterioration to the space time fabric that
weakened, eventually seeded to the singularity, creating the bridge between the various realities.
And I'm thinking that the proximity of these realities in relation to each other,
may account for the absence of the uh… entropic cascade failure
but it still doesn't help us with the main problem, how do we reverse the process…
I don't have the answer to that…
Because if I did… we all wouldn't be here.
Coffee?
No… thank you.
You know I can't help but think that this whole thing would be a lot easier if Hammond hadn't ordered us to destroy the Quantum mirror…
We could just use that to send all these teams back to their proper realities.
How?
I mean, there are a near infinite number of Parallel universes,
the chances of us finding the right home universe...
for even one of these teams is next to impossible.
Excuse me, Colonel Carter.
My Colonel Carter.
Here Sir.
I've brought another volunteer who's offered to help.
Martouf.
Hello Samantha.
I remember the mission to P3X…
I was tending to a wounded Airman, we came under fire…
You were there, you helped me stabilize him a got us out of there.
No, I didn't.
You were hit by an errant staff blast, and killed instantly.
You were honored with a Heroes funeral.
Lucky me…
Hopefully, you will be able to return to your world soon.
Hopefully?
Yeah, for the moment it looks like your… your trip here was only one way.
No… no you have to find a way to get us back as soon as possible.
Yes, Sam and Dr. Lee are working on something.
No… you don't understand…
We have been targeted by the Orii.
Earth is being ravaged by a plague, hundreds of thousands have been infected,
if we don't find a cure, the entire planet will be wiped out.
So…
Tell me how are things in your… universe?
You mean… between us?
I'm a little curious.
Things developed.
But with you being on the other side of the galaxy, well…
Long distance relationships can be difficult…
I eventually joined the Stargate program to be closer to you…
We worked together. Even lived together for quite some time.
But in the end… things didn't work out.
You’re with someone else now.
Who?
I think I have something.
This is the post-mortem analysis of the P3W 451 incident.
A planet whose orbit strayed to close to a black hole,
one of our teams was attempting to get back at the same time and as a result the SGC couldn't shut down the gate from this end.
I don't see what this...
We were unable to sever the connection because Stargate Command was still connected
to the singularities gravitational field through the open Stargate.
But we're not trying to...
In that case we used a shape charge to deliver an energy surge to the matter stream.
Forcing the matter stream to jump to a different Gate…
there by severing the connection.
That could explain the sound they heard…
and the superfluous energy signature that accompanied the matter stream from the first wormhole…
This some sort of la...
Maybe a supernova or a gamma ray burst discharging at the exact millisecond
that wormhole passed through that singularity.
It’s a one in a billion fluke...
that ruptured subspace and created the point of confluence that drew effected realities into this one.
Then to seal the bridge between the multi-verse we have to target that point of confluence,
basically recreate the circumstances that caused the breach in the first place.
But how is that possible…
You… you said it yourself it was a one in a billion freak incident.
Well the odds would increase significantly if we took the wormhole out of the equation.
Then what happens to us?
We'd be stranded here.
I considered not telling you about this.
I understand why you hesitated but you made the right decision,
by sealing the rupture we'll ensure no other teams get stranded here.
That's provided that this actually works.
I mean we still have one major obstacle to over come:
how do we deliver an explosive device into the singularity…?
We get help from a friend.
Thor sends his apologies for not attending personally…
but he and Heimdall are in the neighboring galaxy dealing with a most sensitive matter.
In his stead I have conveyed the time dilation device as requested.
We appreciate your quick response Vaseer.
So… what do you think, will this… work?
I prefer not to prognosticate.
Uh… well don't prognosticate just tell us what your gut feeling is…
Speculating on the matter would serve no practical purpose.
Joseph and Mary…
What are the odds?
Less than 12% and that is provided you are able to in act the plan before the black holes gravity decimates your ship.
Damn that's cold.
Colonel Mitchell. Colonel Carter. I'm giving it the green light,
shut this thing down.
You know…
I read all the mission reports on the Asgard…
They’re not what I expected.
What were you expecting?
Well…
Pants for one…
The distance between the launch point and the target is crucial and you must be precise in your calculations.
I know.
The slightest oversight in either the timing of the explosion
or the proximity of your ship to the singularity could result in a failed mission at best.
Certain death at worst.
I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time concentrating…
I understand, you are tired.
Allow me to complete the calibration for you.
Knock yourself out.
Time and again we've managed to save Earth and its allies from the most dire threats…
Situations in which we faced insurmountable odds…
almost certain defeat but we always managed to find a way to prevail in the end.
I'm sorry.
I wish there was a way I could send you home or at the very least delay the mission so…
You have no choice but to do what's best for your world.
I assume yours is not the only SG team in your reality that's actively searching for a cure to the plague.
No.
And I have a feeling with your Samantha Carter is back home working on the problem.
She stopped being my Samantha a long time ago.
I've missed you.
I have completed the calibrations.
Thank you Vaseer.
General.
Sorry to disturb you… I was wondering if I could have a word.
Of course Dr.
Come in.
Thank you.
Sir… I would like to make a request on behalf of all of the teams stranded in this reality.
Please… Postpone this mission until we can find a way to get home.
I can't do that.
We need our teams out there gathering Intel on the Orii threat
instead of sitting on their hands here waiting for normal Gate operations to resume…
and that won't be possible until this problem is dealt with.
While I can empathize sir… believe me.
I think you need to take a look at the bigger picture…
this goes beyond this world… beyond this galaxy… this universe…
hundreds of billions of lives are at stake.
There survival could hinge on not just our return…
but the return of every SG-1 stranded on this base.
Sir, back in my universe earth is facing a global pandemic,
one that your planet has already faced and beaten…
you have the cure that could save my world, all I have to do is get it to them.
I can also empathize...
but at the risk of sounding callous… my priorities are with this world.
How can you prioritize the lives of one group over those of another?
What makes my earth any less important than your own?
We have the top minds from 18 different universes working on a way to get you home…
now hopefully they can come up with a solution before this mission is completed
but if they can't…
then I'm sorry doctor.
We finished loading the warhead and the time dilation generator
Once the system checks complete we're good to go…
Where's the crew?
You're looking at it.
Given the dangers we may face it was decided that we proceed alone.
So if this plan goes fubar we're the only ones that goes down with the ship?
Well there's plenty more where we came from right?
The perilous nature of this mission should not be taken lightly,
there is a chance the Prometheus may not survive this voyage
but courage and a steadfast resolve will prove the most valuable assets in this undertaking.
Well, good luck to you all.
I miss Thor.
of course by the time he actually got around to drinking that orange juice, it would have been sitting in the back of the fridge for what...
- a month? - Yeah! Yeah yeah!
Oh…ye he was so damn thirsty he knocked it right back, it was
a second or two before he actually breathed in, at which point-
Spit take of all spit takes! there was orange juice on the table… the chairs…
On Aunt Emma!!
Aunt Emma! Oh!!
Oh!! Big old fat Emma sitting across the table
Little bits of bacon on her face orange juice dripping off her nose…
Reminiscing over old times?
Yeah…yeah hell yeah… I could talk to this guy all day.
No doubt.
- You finished your shift? - Yeah…
I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed.
Speaking of which I think its past my bedtime.
and you need your beauty sleep.
Woah, whose talking?
So how'd it go?
I found a way round all the security protocols… everything's set.
Perfect…
By the time they figure out what happened…
it'll be too late.
Show time.
We're approaching the singularity.
Calculating minimal prime distance to warhead launch.
Come on Carter.
I've got it relaying the information.
Received.
Engaging sub-light engines, proceeding to coordinates…
We've reached the target location.
Yeah I heard…
Yeah I think they're just circling… Like we're parking…
I should warn you…
I've been practicing those Sodan moves.
You were warned.
Wouldn't it have been easier just to zat him?
Easier yes… but far less gratifying…
Did he just insult me?
What's going on?
There's been a change of flight plans.
You want to tell us what's going on?
We're making an unscheduled detour…
Yeah…just how Far out of our way is this little detour gonna take us…?
About 3 weeks.
You're planning on taking this ship to Atlantis.
I mean given the parallels between our two realities I can't think of anywhere else we'll be going.
As soon as we complete our mission we'll drop you at the nearest habitable planet…
till then…
have fun.
Three weeks…
well that gives us time to… think of something… idea's anyone?
Given the unique circumstance we find ourselves in…
it is possible to anticipate their actions and reactions…
all we must do is think like them…
Well shouldn't be that hard…
The other Cl. Mitchell wishes to speak with you.
You're just going to ignore him for the next three weeks?
You guys seem… reasonable… and you haven't hurt us…
much.
You don't have a beard so you're not from the evil twin universe right?
Good…
right…so if I know me like I do…
I'd have a pretty damn good reason to be doing what you guys are doing.
Bottom line is…I'd understand better than anyone…
so level with me…
what's going on?
Let me ask you something…
how far would you go to save the lives of every man and woman on earth…
Don't bother… I already know the answer…
if you were in my situation you would be doing the exact same thing…
What? Going after the ZPM?
Come on… why else would you be going to Atlantis?
Our ZPM is depleted… we need yours to power the ancient weapon in Antarctica…
Alright… screw our earth to save your own…
all that ZPM is doing right now… is allowing one way travel from the Pegasus galaxy to Earth?
the billions of lives that we save is worth more than the inconvenience of slopping back and forth on the daedalus.
we need that ZPM to cloak Atlantis…
if the wraith come back and discover the city wasn't destroyed…
they'll launch another attack.
If Atlantis falls this galaxy is the next target.
If the wraith return.
If they attack.
If the city is destroyed.
The threat we face is more immediate.
That still doesn't give you the right to do this…
Well, say it works…
say that you can beam the ZPM of Atlantis…
how do you plan to get it back to your own universe?
You have a way back.
You've planned this all along.
Well… we were right… they're going after the ZPM…
You sure you can open the door…?
Hey I helped build this thing… opening the door is the easy part…
it's taking the ship back that'll be tricky…
The armory is this way…
No Teal'c go to the armory on the next level, its less likely you'll be spotted.
Daniel and I will head to the engine room and pull the control crystal,
once they come to investigate the problem we'll get the drop on them there.
Very well.
Hey… you had to give it a shot. I know I would.
So… now that we know how you get out, we'll just have to make sure it doesn't happen again…
No hitting!
- So while we were up here… - We were down on the next level breaking into the other armory…
How did you know I wasn't your Mitchell?
Easy… if we were in your position we would have done the same thing.
Let me get this straight…
we figured that you guys would try to escape and we set this trap for you…
not realizing that you'd figure out that we'd figure you out and you'd set your own?
- Indeed. - Now… Can you take us to our Cl. Mitchell?
Sam disabled the power relays running through these walls so uh… I wouldn't bother…
Ideas anyone?
Walter?
Sir it's a subspace communication from the Prometheus.
- Lets here it. - Yes sir.
Sir… this is colonel Carter
Good to hear from you colonel… I take it the mission was a success?
No sir. In fact… We're scraping the mission and heading back home.
Colonel?
Sir, I think I figured out a way to send these teams back to their proper realities…
And how do we do that?
By doing exactly the same thing the first team did in order to get here.
You're telling me they planned this from the get-go?
Yes sir…it accounts for the boom you heard and the extra energy signature the gate diagnostic picked up in the first matter stream…
They opened the wormhole… through the black hole and then blasted a bridge into this universe…
isn't that how Carter described it… I don't know… I just remember :
Wormhole… black hole… blast.
Colonel Carter.
Sir we've established a wormhole to PX7 455,
Now when sergeant Siler is finished, we'll fire the direct energy weapon through the gate…
if I'm right it should reverse the space time rupture effectively inverting the convergence effect…
each team gated in from a different point of Origin, once the convergence effect has been reversed...
we'll dial those different points of origin and create wormholes that will follow the inter-universal path ways
- already created by their initial trips here… - I got it I got it… they're going back.
Ready when you are sir.
Clear the Gateroom.
I will need the weapon back once your work here is completed…
It is… after all… only on loan to you... temporarily…
I know. You'll get it back when we're done.
Lower the blast doors.
Fire the weapon!
We have a stable wormhole… 3.4 seconds… it worked.
Open the blast doors. Bring them in.
Hey Mitchell…
when the time comes…
cut the green one.
What the hell did that mean?
I don't know…
but I have a feeling that someday you're going to find out.
Have all the other teams left sir?
You're the last ones to go.
It was nice working with you again Sam…
your presence has been sorely missed on our team.
Just out of curiosity… where did I go?
Maternity leave…
We have something for you.
The cure to the priors plague
Thank you General.
- It's good to see you again. - You too.
May it not be the last time.
Well… we'd love to stay… but we have a planet to save.
Bye.
