The Aschen allied with Earth and helped defeat the Goa'uld. Since then, Earth has hailed the Aschen as their friends and has eagerly accepted their technology, including innovations such as teleportation devices and an anti-aging vaccine. The SGC has long since dissolved, and not only does the entire world know of the Stargate, but people regularly use it to travel between worlds. Samantha Carter is married to Ambassador Joe Faxton, who was key in forming the alliance between Earth and the Aschen. Everyone is happy- everyone, that is, except for Jack O'Neill, who was the only one who opposed the alliance. However, no one listened to his warnings, and he broke off all ties with his former teammates six years ago. But despite her apparently perfect life, Sam has failed to conceive a child after three years of trying. Although she has been repeatedly reassured by the Aschen doctors that she is fine, Sam reluctantly agrees to let Dr. Janet Fraiser check her out. Janet makes a startling discovery- Sam can never have children, and the Aschen have been lying to her. When Sam decides to find out what has been going on, she uncovers a secret, sinister plot by the Aschen- the so-called saviors are out to slowly and systematically destroy the entire human race. Sam and SG-1 decide that the only way to prevent their doom is by sending a message to their past selves, thus changing history. However, it is easier said than done, and not only do they need the help of both Jack and Joe to carry out their plan, but the four members of SG-1 must ultimately sacrifice their own lives to once again save the world. |
