Sam walked back into the briefing room in brown fatigues, the other members of the SG-1 came out of General Landry's office including the General, "What happened, the video was not working again! Vala got so frustrated with your various groans and signs she threw the popcorn at the screen!" Cried the General. "I did not that was Cameron, you evil old man!" Vala shouted back. Sam held up her hands for a little quiet, "Does not matter at all, didn't you hear what Jay said about my nostrils flaring?" Sam said. Vala was the first to speak, "Yes I did wonder about that, when you and I had that thing during the Leader's birthday I didn't notice them flaring maybe..." Sam interrupted, "No! I doubt Jay realised what he said, Solar Flares! Get it Now?"
The rest of the team and the General stared back with blank looks however Vala not willing to let an thread dangle tried again, "Perhaps you were doing it wrong that night I'm normally pretty good..." This time General Landry shouted, "Quiet! Kids just simmer down and let Sam talk. She is going to tell us how we are all saved." The General looked back at Sam with a hopeful but determined smile. "Don't you remember the mission when Jack and I got sent back to 1969, because a solar flare happened just as we stepped through the Stargate?" "Oh! That one! You've only told us the story like a million times how could we forget you mooning over Jack, Jack this, Jack that." Vala said with dripping sarcasm. "I do not sound like! Besides its the answer to our problem, when the sun explodes we step through the Stargate and travel back in time." Sam said.
General Landry sat down on the briefing table, "Just as well I closed the Mountain and decided against telling our brave Leader about recent events. I suggest we evacuate everyone take all the equipment we can carry. Hold on a second just exactly how far back will we be going?" Sam looked a little uncomfortable, "Err well its a little hard to say probably further than 1969 since it will be like a super-massive flare but if I take Solar Flare history data with us we can jump forwards if we end up too far back. I just have to find the right Gate Address so that the wormhole passes through the flare, I should have that sorted in a couple of hours." Sam replied. "What about your Captain Lover down in the VIP room, want me to put him down for you?" Cameron asked. Sam grinned evilly, "Leave him there he will die with the rest of the planet."
Jay looked at the clock in his head the sun had just exploded, his video bug in the briefing room showed him the evacuating people hurrying through the Stargate as quickly they could. Nine minutes before the shock wave takes out the planet. He watched as the Stargate shutdown, he exited the VIP room with no trouble whatsoever and wandered up to the briefing room. The time was counting down in his head and by the time he reached the control room there was only a couple of minutes left. 'Time travel always takes time,' he thought as he arrived in the briefing room.
Nine seconds to go and he felt his body being squeezed as the time line change about him, down in the Gate Room the flags in the corners vanished completely. He turned and saw the brown, white and black flag turn blue, white and red. The hideous picture of the some guy with a short mustache on the wall vanished also. The nine seconds were up, sitting round the briefing room along with General Landry who was now wearing a blue uniform were SG-1, all of them including Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.
Cameron looked up and saw Jay, "Woh! Where did you come from fella?" Cameron exclaimed to the rest of the room. Everybody looked at Jay, he smiled. "Sorry to appear unannounced but I have been here for the last 27 hours just in a different time line." Jay walked over to the conference table and grinned at Sam, "It is a pleasure to see you again Sam." Jay said. Sam looked a little uncertain, "Have we met before? Wait you said different time line, did you get lucky?" Sam asked. Jay took the seat next to Vala, "Well I liked to think she got lucky but she was your evil twin Sam, so I wouldn't worry too much about it." Jay replied. "And technically I just saved this solar system and your planet from an epic death by Supernova."
General Landry asked, "Would you please explain that statement not that I do not believe you but you did just appear out of thin air?" "Of course, my name is Captain Jay Scarlet a MultiVerse Agent charged with maintaining the integrity and stability of the MultiVerse. Your Meta-Verse was in considerable danger of blinking out of existence due to an unscheduled Supernova created by an attack of the Tok'ra upon your sun." Teal'c intoned deeply from the other end of the table, "Why would the Tok'ra attack us?" Jay breathed out and then slowly in, 'hopefully this won't take too long, I should left when I had the chance now I have to explain everything.' Jay thought.
"Okay, it is all very simple and I'm only going to explain this once. In the other time line, your world were peopled by a bunch of fascists and they were all the same. They were only interested in war and conquering other worlds. The Tok'ra had beat the System Lords and were technically the good guys in the galaxy. The Asgard not so good, they had made alliance with your evil alternates and were beating them so the Tok'ra came up with a desperate plan to remove enough fusion-able material from your sun to make it go Supernova. They made a backup plan as well whereby they infected SG-9 with a nasty plague which they would have noticed if I had not adjusted the blood work results. Everybody following so far?"
Jay continued on before anyone to could say anything, "I told evil Sam that her nostrils flared when she was aroused and she got the hint pretty much straightaway. It was an impressive exit I can say, basically she realised that the sun going Supernova would allow them to escape through time. It is a very imprecise method of traveling through time but if you know all the variables ahead of time which I did I could make sure they traveled to roughly the right and time. I reprogrammed their Gate computer so it would take them to only one gate address no matter what they dialed. In this case I sent them back to several million years where they became the patient zeroes of the plague your Ancients ran into. I can only assume when they repopulated this galaxy using the device on Dakara they adjusted it so your species to turn out a little less war like. Didn't always want to know where that plague came from?" Jay finished.
Before anyone could speak Jay stood up winked at them and vanished.
