_______________________________________________________


Hammond called the meeting to order.  Present were
SG-1, SG-9, and the three archeologists: Mathers,
Carson, and Howard.

"Alright, what do we know?  Anything else there worth
investigating?  What about their robotics?"

Sam shook her head, "The basic models were already
there.  We might be able to reverse-engineer them but
the technology is so far ahead of our knowledge of
cybernetics that..."

"Any other machines or...?"

Again, Sam shook her head, "So far no.  This is the
sole remaining fully functional system we've
discovered.  The solar power system looks fairly
standard."

"Well, what we thought was a temple was a theatre or
recreation area," Daniel interjected.  "It's sole
purpose was for the people there to have fun."

"What kind of fun?" Hammond asked.

"Whatever they wanted.  The whole purpose of it was to
fulfill fantasies.  The people would go in and be
scanned.  Their request would be processed and an
android would be supplied, if it was required.  This
android would be pre-programmed with the user's wishes
and desires but have enough freedom to act
spontaneously within the parameters of the program."

"So, it's kinda like having working blow-up dolls?"
Jack smirked.

Attempting to ignore his friend, Daniel went on, "The
use would be dictated by the request.  Someone might
just want to have a conversation with an old friend
they'd lost touch with or a parent.  Or the user
might..."  The young archeologist coughed and looked
down.

"We-ell?  We're waiting..."  Jack said in a fairly
credible 'Caddyshack' impersonation.

Daniel looked up, clearly uncomfortable with this
subject, "Or they could be used to fulfill personal
fantasies.  Like you said..."

"So this means you have a thing for the chick on the
TV show?"  Daniel nodded almost imperceptibly to Jack.
 "And Carter...?"

"Sir!  The system worked on us based on what it
scanned in our thoughts.  It is designed to supplement
whatever was programmed in with the user's thoughts
and images.  Daniel saw something that made him think
of a television show.  I happened to be thinking about
something Janet and I were discussing when I was
caught and scanned."

Daniel, shooting a look of gratitude towards Sam
chimed in, "If Jack had been caught, we'd be hip-deep
in baseball players."

"Or Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders..."

Hammond held up his hand, "I think I get the picture.
Is this technology we can utilize?"

"We might but the question is how.  Duplicates as
decoys for VIPs?  Or as a form of entertainment?"

Hammond nodded his understanding.  "So the machine
took the information from you and Doctor Jackson and
crafted it onto an android?"

Sam nodded, "Yes sir.  Sort of like customizing a car.
 But far more detailed.    The existing chassis is
like a body without the skin.  Once the physical
details are input, the outer layers are formed.  At
the same time, the brain is programmed with the
necessary knowledge to carry out the programmed
requests.  It's not infallible though.

"The machine that scanned me, and presumably Daniel,
was sophisticated enough to create duplicates of what
was in the forefront of our memories.  It undoubtedly
took scans of our physiology to use as the template
for each android and our knowledge of physical
characteristics, such as they are, for them as well.

"What neither Daniel nor I have is knowledge of the
individual fingerprint patterns of either Janet or
this Andromeda character.  So the computer or...  It
improvised by using our own."

Daniel looked up, the overhead lights flashing briefly
off his glasses, "Don't forget the more obvious
differences, Sam."

Sam nodded, "Yes, there is one glaring error in the
androids' creation.  Andromeda is supposedly
conversant in all manner of science and related
fields.  Janet is an expert on Goa'uld infestation and
alien diseases.

"I spent some time with both of them the other day
asking questions about those fields.  Rommie knew just
the basics of wormholes and quantum physics.  However
she does know archeology and has some linguistic
skills that were buried in her memory.  Janet 2 also
knew little about infestation and disease.  However,
Janet 2 did know significantly more about wormhole
technology and quantum mechanics."

Sam had taken to calling the android Janet Mark II
which was shortened to Janet 2.

"What is your point, Major?"  Hammond asked.

"Sir, it's further evidence of how the alien system
works.  It took our core memories and put those in the
androids created from our minds."

"Is there a danger here?"

"Other than knowing various codes and passwords, which
can be easily changed, I don't think so, sir.  Our
technology is relatively limited in comparison to most
of the other space-faring races." Sam hesitated a
moment.

"Yes, Major?"

"Sorry, sir.  Just quickly going over things to see if
there is anything Janet 2 might know..."

Hammond nodded.

"What about wormhole technology?" Jack asked.

"I don't believe there is anything I know that could
compromise Earth.  And, therefore, Janet 2 doesn't
either.

"How many additional androids are there?" Hammond
asked.

Sam shook her head, "There are approximately three
hundred in storage. They are all dormant.  How many
are still functional is the unanswered question.
Without activating the system..."

Mathers spoke up for the first time, "It's possible,
General, that we can figure this out without turning
the machines on."  No one noticed the blush that
spread over Sam's face at the unknown double entendre.


"So you're requesting additional time there?"

"Yes, General.  I mean the extent of the ruins
alone..."

Hammond held up his hand and nodded, "Understood.  Any
idea what happened to the people?"

Daniel and Howard shared a look of silent agreement.
Daniel spoke up, "We think that they just died out."

"Died out?"

"Yes sir.  They became so...addicted to the uh,
fantasy lab that they slowly gave up on the real
thing.  As the ennui progressed through their society,
they used androids more and more until they lost the
ability to even repair their machines.  As the
machines started to shut down, the society began to
grind to a halt."

Howard added, "The need for the fantasy, whether it
was a mental addiction or there was some physical
element, became their sole reason to live.  That's
why, I believe, it's one of the last systems to still
be active."

The thought of an addiction caught Sam's attention.
Could that be what caused her to act so out of
character the past days?  And Janet as well?

Daniel was answering a question Sam had missed, "Yes,
but eventually the survivors died out.  A plague
possibly or...they just gave up."

"Is there any proof?"

"Just what we believe some writings translate into.
If our translation is correct," Daniel replied.

"And there are broken-down androids scattered through
the ruins," Howard said.  "They might have been
attempting to fulfill their programming when they
broke down."

Sam looked up sharply, "How long would that be?  Are
the ones here in danger?"

Howard shook his head, "I don't know.  I suppose the
system could sustain them if they went back into it.
But without the system, they could run for another
century or shut down tomorrow."

Jack looked at his second, "Carter?  In danger?  These
are machines."

"Yes sir, but so are we.  In essence, our bodies are
an extremely complex series of electro-chemical
actions.  Our cells are really incredibly efficient
factories."

Daniel jumped in, "Just because they aren't flesh and
blood, real flesh and blood, doesn't mean they aren't
living beings.  They are self-aware.  It's not much
different than Urgo."

Jack shook his head.  He hated philosophy.

"Sir.  Sirs, they are intelligent women.  Sending them
into storage at Area 51 would be cruel.  And we can't
let the NID take them," Sam pleaded.

Jack slapped the table, "Now that I agree with!"

Sam smiled and continued, "They would be of little use
here in the SGC.  And we can't send them into the real
world."

Hammond leaned forward, his hands clasped on the table
top, "What do you propose Major?"

"Sir, beneath the surficial programming, Andromeda has
a lot, if not all, of Daniel's archeological knowledge
and also his ability for dead or obscure languages.
The other Janet has my technical and scientific
knowledge.  I think, after a bit of further training,
they could be sent to P76-726 to explore the ruins.
They could then report in regularly.  If they find
something of real importance, we can send a team
over."

Sam looked at the three archeologists grouped around
the far end of the table.  They didn't look pleased at
being edged out of the expedition but they could
console themselves with the knowledge that they'd go
back as soon as the androids found something
significant.

"We wouldn't have to worry about supplies since they
don't eat or drink.  Whatever they do need, I believe
they can get from the device."

"Would they agree to this?"

Sam nodded, "I believe so, sir."

"Very well, Major.  Draw up a list of what they would
need and what further training would be required.
I'll forward it to the Secretary with my
recommendation."

"Thank you, sir."

"Dismissed."

* * * * * *

"Daniel?"  Sam hurried to catch Daniel before he got
engrossed in a discussion with his colleagues.

"Yes, Sam?"

"This addiction...  How would it manifest itself?"

Daniel's eyes widened behind his glasses, "Well,
I...don't know.  Exactly.  But, if I was to guess..."

Sam nodded encouragingly.

* * * * * *

"Janet?" Sam said, knocking on the doctor's office
door.

"Yes?"  Janet looked up from the report she was
reading, her face reddening as she saw Sam.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure."

"Privately?"  Janet nodded and Sam shut the door.
"I've been talking to Daniel and..."

"Sam, I have to tell you something.  About the other
day..."

"Wait.  Hear me out first.  Please?"   Janet, hearing
the warm, trustful tone in Sam's voice, nodded.

"Okay.  I'll try to be brief.  The androids were
created from the images in Daniel's and my minds when
we were in the grip of the alien system.

"Daniel saw something that reminded him of the show
and the woman he likes on the show.  One thing he
hadn't counted on was..."

Janet waited for Sam to go on then finally asked,
"Counted on?"

"I promised Daniel I wouldn't tell anyone but...  This
is between us."

Janet nodded, "Let's put it under doctor/patient
confidentiality."

Sam smiled and went on, "Daniel has an interest in the
women on that show together.  Sexually."  Janet raised
her eyebrow but said nothing.  "He told me about sites
on the internet where you can find stories about this
kind of thing.  Fan fiction.

"There are a couple of basic types..."

"Sam, I'm a bit familiar with that.  Having a
teenager, I learned quickly what to look for and what
to block on her computer."

"Okay, so you know about the het and slash fic.  The
slash fic is further..."

"Sam, I know..."

"Alright.  The femslash is not as prevalent but there
is a fair about of it about a lot of shows.  And
Rommie seems to be one of the favorites from
'Andromeda'.  There's even a story of her with two
other versions of her."

"So that's why Rommie came on to us?  She was a slash
program?"

"Essentially.  And then, after you mentioned
your...that you were flattered she found you
attractive...  When I was scanned, that was pretty
much my chief thought.  Not that you are gay or...

"What I mean is...  I never considered you could be...
 God, I'm making a mess of this."

"You were thinking of me with other women?"

"No, Janet.  Not specifically.  I was thinking that
maybe there was some underlying aspect of you that I
never knew.  Some bisexual or lesbian component.  And
that aspect was what the machine scanned."

"So it's your fault my duplicate is a lesbian?" Janet
said with a smirk.

Sam had to smile, "I guess so.  Thank God I always
figured you'd be somewhat discrete."

"Sam, that still doesn't excuse or explain what you
saw..."

"Janet, wait."  Sam held her hand up as she went on,
"First, I want you to know that what I saw will never
be shared with anyone.  This will stay between us.
You are my best friend.  I will never hurt you or
share anything personal about you with anyone.  Not
unless you say it's okay.  And this is a prime
example."

Janet swallowed as she tried to say something but
finally nodded, her eyes brimming.  Sam smiled, her
eyes were wet too.  "If you ever need to talk about
this...or anything, I'm here for you."

Sam paused to collect her thoughts. "There is a
component of this technology that is addictive...on a
psychological level.  Maybe it's some low-level type
of EM that we don't look for but they, the androids,
can cause you to do things that aren't necessarily
what you would do in any other circumstance.  Like
having a...uh...sexual...interlude with them."  After
all that had been said and had happened, the blonde
was amazed at how hard she found it to state such a
simple thing.

"I see.  So, I wasn't in my right mind?"

"I'm not sure that either of us were."

"Hmm?" Janet looked puzzled.

"Yesterday, when I spoke to the androids, I ended
up...with Rommie.  And I kissed Janet 2."

"I see."  Janet tried to hide a smile.  "You kissed
me?"

"Well, not you but..."

"Sam, let me tell you something now.  Yesterday, I was
in the lab and spilled a solvent on my lab coat.  It
also got on my skirt, which is a total loss.  I
changed into a set of BDUs that I rarely wear.  Then,
I went to check on our guests.  I just missed you in
Rommie's room.  Then when I got to my double's room,
you were in the bathroom.  She suggested I wait for
you while she hid."

Sam stared at Janet mutely.  Her mind was racing a
mile a minute but she couldn't seem to catch any one
thought.

"Sam?"  Janet came to perch on the edge of her desk.

"Uh, yeah.  So that was..."

"Yes it was," Janet whispered as she leaned towards
Sam and the kiss they both knew was coming.

After several moments of bliss, Janet sat back.  Sam
opened her eyes and muttered, "Holy Hannah."

Janet smiled at that.  "I take it you liked it?"

Sam's eyes darted quickly up to Janet's then away as
she tried to sort everything out.  Finally she nodded.

"Was it as good as yesterday?" Janet teased.

Sam missed that humorous note and replied, "No.  It
was better."

Janet's brows knitted together, "Better?"

Sam looked up into those dark brown eyes as she said,
"Yes, this time I knew it was you."

"Oh Sam..."

Janet sat on Sam's lap, her arms around the blonde's
shoulders as she kissed her friend again.  This time,
however, was a longer, wetter kiss as Janet's tongue
slid between Sam's lips.

The kiss started soft and sweet then quickly turned
hot and hungry.  Both women were moaning as they
explored each other's mouth.

When they finally broke for air, Sam saw Janet was
panting almost as hard as she was.  She gently pulled
Janet's head to her shoulder, the doctor's breath
tickling her throat, as she asked, "Come home with
me?"

"Yes."

* * * * * *

Janet 2 was antsy.  She felt cooped up and wanted to
see more than the somber walls of the room she had
been assigned.

And she was curious about the other android.

Fortunately for her, security had eased in the days
since she had first arrived.  Looking out of her door,
she saw one guard at the end of the corridor, looking
oblivious to everything.

She knew, or rather Sam knew that guard duty in a
peaceful environment could be mind-numbing.  So,
taking a chance, she slipped out and headed down the
corridor in the opposite direction.

At the other occupied VIP room, she knocked lightly.
Hearing a "Come in", Janet 2 pushed the door open and
slipped inside.

"Hello, Doctor.  Here for more tests," Rommie said
flirtatiously.

"Well, that depends," Janet 2 answered.

"On?"

Janet 2 strolled over to the bed and reclined on it.
"Depends on what kind of tests you're talking
about..."

Rommie smiled and moved to join her lover.  Their kiss
didn't start out as anything but hot and needy.
Tongues shoved against each other and into the other's
mouth as the two groped and fondled through layers of
clothes that quickly were torn away.

In minutes, Rommie was biting Janet 2's breast as she
rammed two fingers into the gasping woman.  "Ooooh
God!  More!  Fuck me!  Fuck me Andromeda!"

Smiling her agreement, Rommie proceeded to do just
that.

* * * * * *

Janet had followed Sam home, calling her daughter on
the way to tell her she'd be late.  The thought that
she was going to be late because she was going to have
sex with her best friend caused mixed feelings in her.
 Part of Janet was thrilled by the 'naughtiness' of it
and part was having second thoughts.

Pulling up in front of the little bungalow, she saw
Sam standing near the door.  The tall blonde looked
anxious.  And beautiful.

Banishing the second thoughts, Janet went up and took
Sam's hand.  "You nervous?"

Sam just nodded.

"Good.  So am I."

Sam squeezed Janet's hand, smiling in relief.  "I want
you but..."

Sam didn't finish, instead she opened the door and
pulled Janet inside.  As she kicked the door closed,
she pulled the smaller woman to her and claimed the
luscious mouth with hers.

They stumbled into the bedroom without breaking the
kiss.  Once there, Sam pulled back.  "I guess this is
it."

"If you don't want to, Sam, just say so."

"I do want this."  As if to prove it, Sam rapidly
stripped her clothes off.

Janet followed, hoping there'd be another time to
slowly peel Sam's clothes off that gorgeous body.  She
smiled thinking how much she wanted there to be a next
time.  And a time after that.  She said as much to Sam
as she tossed her damp panties onto the pile of her
clothes.

"I think I want that too but...we need a first time,"
Sam said.

Sam went to one side of the bed and Janet to the
other.  They stared at each other, drinking in every
facet of the nudity before them.  They had both been
naked together but sex and sexual interest had never
been part of the equation.

Both crawled on their knees onto the mattress and held
each other, kissing softly.  Sam caressed Janet's
smooth skin and Janet did the same, pausing to trace
the occasional scar with a fingertip.

Sam kissed Janet, licking her lips, then said, "I've
never really done this before.  Just once and...she
wasn't real."

Janet ran her tongue along Sam's ear and whispered,
"I've only been with two other women and neither of
them were real.  Let's just take it slow and do what
we feel like."

As Janet licked her ear again, Sam shivered and
nodded.  "S-s-since you've h-had all th-that
experience..."

Janet smiled, "My pleasure."

She guided Sam onto her back then knelt between the
blonde's legs.  She tickled the blonde thatch of hair
before lowering herself and pressing her face into the
now-soaked heat.

Sam cried out quietly as Janet's tongue touched her
for the first time.  Then she merely moaned as the
doctor tasted her.

Until her passion-filled scream rent the air...

* * * * * *

Rommie and Janet 2 were locked in a furious 69, their
tongues buried in each other.  They had already both
climaxed twice and were near a third time.  The room
reeked of sex.

Janet 2 pushed her finger into Rommie's pussy then,
using the woman's nectar as lubricant, slipped it into
her ass.  That was all it took for Rommie to scream
into Janet 2 again as she came.

Janet 2 followed shortly, thanks to the avatar's
skilled tongue.  As she fell off to the side, her
chest heaving, she muttered, "Good thing this place is
sound-proof."

Rommie leaned on an elbow, her fingers trailing across
the other's skin, and said, "Why Doctor, you are quite
the sexual powerhouse."

Janet 2 chuckled, "I never told you.  I'm not the
doctor.  I'm her copy."

"You mean we can have sex with each other?  I thought,
from what Sam had told me, that we were created to
pleasure humans."

"Guess not just humans.  We have almost the same
pleasure responses, even if they are programmed in.
Even the apparent need for air.  So why not?"

"And we won't feel any guilt?  Like Janet or Sam do?"

"Exactly."

"To quote one of their old movies, this could be the
start of a beautiful friendship."

Janet 2's fingers drifted into Rommie again as she
said, "I certainly hope so."

* * * * * *

The two women cuddled under the old quilt, their naked
bodies pressed tightly together.

"How do you feel?" Janet asked in a quiet voice.

"I feel completely wiped out."

Janet chuckled, "I do too.  But I mean, how do you
feel about what we did?"

Sam looked at Janet in her arms.  She brushed back a
lock of dark hair and kissed her nose, "Good.  Very
good."

"Me too."

They lay in silence for several more minutes, Janet's
hand sliding lightly over Sam's body as Sam's hand
caressed Janet's back.  Janet shifted and leaned on
one arm so that she could look down at the blonde.
She had a serious look on her face.

"So, is this a one-time thing?" the doctor asked in a
quiet voice.

"Do you...  Do you want it to be?"

Janet took a deep breath, "It would probably be better
if it was.  The danger to our careers..."  She winced
inwardly when she saw the pain in Sam's blue eyes and
finished her thought, "But I don't care.  I...I think
this feels more right than anything since I finally
adopted Cassie."

Sam beamed.  "Me too.  I don't know what will happen
or what...  Doesn't matter.  This does feel so right."

"Now, what do we do about Cassandra?"

Sam laughed, "Kids, can't live with 'em, can't kill
'em!"

Janet smacked Sam lightly between her beautiful
breasts, "Meanie!"

"I'll show you mean..." Sam muttered as she pulled
Janet to her for a kiss.

And that was all it took.  The two officers didn't get
any sleep the rest of the night.
