Jack had stormed out of the briefing room and made his way towards the base canteen. Jack was pissed of at how everyone expected him just to tell the tok'ra every last detail of his life. He was Colonel Jack O'Neil what more did they want to know. Jack had told them just the basic history of the false gods association with earth. Why did the tok'ra want to know more than that. Jack walked into the canteen and was pleased that it was empty. He was not in the modd to make friendly conversation with anyone at the moment. He grabbed himself a coffee and sat down at a table to drink it. Jack knew that someone would come and get him, but he just needed some time to cool of. He just needed some space.
Daniel found the colonel sitting in the canteen holding a cup of coffee and staring at some unseen point on the wall. Daniel entered the canteen and sat across the table from Jack.
"Jack we need to talk," said Daniel.
"You've read the letter haven't you Daniel. When I wrote that letter I didn't think I would be coming back to the base so soon. The tok'ra changed that didn't they," said Jack as he ran his fingers though his hair.
"Why did you write the letter Jack," asked Daniel
"I had to tell you. Everything seemed to be catching up with me. I had to tell you before the past finally caught up with me. I wanted to tell you before anyone else found out," said Jack as he took a sip of his coffee.
"When would you have told me Jack. Would you have told me even if your past wasn't catching up with you," said Daniel as he looked directly into Jack face
looking for the answer to his question.
"No, I would have continued on as before," said Jack truthfully.
"Why would you lie to yourself. Why would you lie to me Jack," said Daniel.
"What do you really think of me Daniel. No don't answer that question. What did you think of me as Jack O'Neil commander of the SG-1? No let me answer that for you. Apart from being regarded as a great commander I'm not much use for anything else I am," said Jack with an air of defeat.
"That's not true. You have many more things to offer," said Daniel.
"Name one of them," asked Jack
"Your knowledge of the false gods, earth, the stargate program," said Daniel pleased that he managed to come up with more than one.
"Before you found out I knew any of that. When you just saw me as Colonel Jack O'Neil. What did you think I had to offer Daniel," said Jack.
"Yourself," said Daniel.
"That isn't enough any more Daniel. It was never enough that I was a good commander," said Jack as he finished of the last of his coffee.
"It has always been enough for the rest of us," said Daniel trying to cheer Jack up.
"Its not enough for me anymore," said Jack.
"The tok'ra seem to want to talk with you. You have a lot to offer them," said Daniel still trying to cheer Jack up.
"The tok'ra think I have the answers to all there unanswered questions. The God damn Tok'ra think I know the meaning of life. Do you know what I told Jacob when we had are so-called private conversation," snapped Jack.
"No," said Daniel
"No of course you wouldn't. Jacob was saying how pleased he was with all your hard work on the mission. How the tok'ra had trouble translating some of the texts and you seem to know the translation without even trying. He said I must be grateful to have someone like you on the team. That was when I just turned round and calmly told him that I knew a hell of lot more about languages written and spoken. I told him that most of the languages I knew hadn't been in use for the last five thousand years. I told him I knew more about life than you ever would. Jacob just caught me on a off day," said Jack as he watched the shocked expression on Daniel's face.
"How did he take this sudden outburst," asked Daniel curios to know.
"Kinda like the expression you have on your face at the moment," said Jack with a wry grin.
"How old are you," stuttered Daniel
"Old enough," said Jack.
"Are you immortal," asked Daniel
"Not the same kind of immortal that you are Daniel," said Jack
"How long have you known that I was an immortal," asked Daniel, wondering how in the hell he had found out that he was an immortal.
"When I spotted your watcher I knew that you were an immortal. As for finding out your real age well that was a different matter," said Jack with a sly grin.
"How many other people know about you," asked Daniel curios to know
"One person," said jack not willingly to say anymore than he had to at the moment.
"Jack, about the letter did you mean what you said," asked Daniel as he noticed General Hammond was standing at the canteens entrance.
"I meant every word," said Jack a she turned round and noticed the general standing there
"Jack your needed back in the briefing room," said Hammond
Jack got up out of his chair and stood face to face with the general
"The tok'ra want to speak with me don't they," said Jack with a sigh
"The tok'ra still have a lot of questions to ask you jack," said Hammond.
"They've been told all they need to know," said jack
"Jack perhaps it would better if you went and answered all there questions. We want to maintain good relations with the tok'ra," said General Hammond.
Jack walked out of the canteen followed by the general and Daniel. On the way back to the meeting with the tok'ra Jack mumbled something about the tok'ra and a hot poker. Jack entered the briefing room and headed straight for his seat. Ignoring the looks that Sam and the others gave him. The general and Daniel took the seats as well.
"Colonel, would you care to explain how you know all of this," said
Jack took a deep breath and look around the room, his gaze finally settled on Daniel.
"What I'm about to tell you goes no further than this room. If anyone else finds out what I am about to tell you all, I will not hesitate to kill any of you," said Jack in a firm tone of voice.
"O'Neil why are you threatening us," asked T'leac
"T'leac if I was threatening you or joking with you I'd be laughing. I am deadly serious. I am about to tell you something that I have kept secret for a great number of years. If certain people found out they would hunt me down and kill my friends while I watched. Knowing that I couldn't do a damn thing to help. Then they would come after me," snapped Jack the hold on his temper loosening with every passing second.
"What is it that you have been hiding from us. What is so important for you to hide from all your friends that you threaten to kill us all if we told anyone," asked Sam, upset that Jack would lie to them and didn't trust them enough to tell any of his friends.
"Do you believe in immortals Major Carter," asked Jack in a calm tone of voice.
"No, they're something parents tell their children to get them to go to sleep. Immortals are myths. The myth of immortals is used to comfort the dying and the sick," said Sam
"There is such a thing as an immortals Sam. They're been around for tens of thousands for years, but before you ask I'm not exactly one of the them I am slightly different," said Jack as he took a breath.
"Who are you," asked Sam
"Jack the false gods why did they leave earth the first time," asked Jacob changing the subject. Perhaps this would be the way to get Jack to open up a
bit more about earth's past and just how much he really knew about the false gods.
"We no longer held their interest. The false gods found mankind to be primitive and they also left because something else came along," said Jack
"What else. What could be worse than mankind," asked Jacob
"Did I say it was worse than mankind. Mankind's of-shoots came into the false gods view and they wanted their own piece of the pie," said Jack as he saw the confusion on everyone's faces.
"Of-shoots," asked Sam.
"Thousands of years ago mankind evolved into four different kinds of a human. The first one was a mix of both the false gods and a human. The second was the immortals. The third was a mix of the supernatural and a human. The fourth of -shoot was an immortal human with a gift. The fourth of-shoot is what the immortal race commonly refers to as the half - breeds," said Jack
"A gift," asked a confused Daniel
"Telepathy, empathy, the ability to foresee the future that sort of thing" said Jack as if he was explaining it all to a child.
"Which of-shoot do you come from Colonel," asked Sam curious to know.
"That is none of your business Carter," snapped Jack he wasn't about to tell them all every last detail of his life.
"Colonel I believe that information should keep the tok'ra happy for a while," said Jacob.
"I take it that I am free to leave the base now," said Jack, as he wanted to leave and get as far away from Jacob as he possibly could.
"Colonel before you go, You and the SG 1 team are on leave for a week. In a week I want you all to be smiling. I want you to work as a team. What Jack has told has spoken about in this room will not change your view of him. Dismissed," said the general as Jack and Daniel left the briefing room together. Leaving the others behind in the briefing room.
Jack made his way down to the base's garage with Daniel and they both climbed into jack's jeep. Jack started up the jeep and drove away from the stargate and towards home.
"Jack we have to talk about the letter you wrote to me," said Daniel, breaking the silence.
"Wait until we get to the house Daniel. We both have a lot of truths that we need to tell each other don't we. I have the feeling it will be a long conversation. So well talk when we get to the house" said Jack as they continued the rest of the journey in silence.
Jack had stormed out of the briefing room and made his way towards the base canteen. Jack was pissed of at how everyone expected him just to tell the tok'ra every last detail of his life.
