Dr. Jackson and Vala in “Unfinished Business”

What happened to you?

Oh, I had a baby! You know, I never thought I'd agree with my father, but now I'm starting to remember about how he used to go about how you nurture them and then you raise them and you teach them that best that you can and then all they do is break your heart. I always assumed that his experience was tainted by me.

What are you talking about?

Well, she started off all sweet and innocent but now she's hellbent on domination of the galaxy.

How old is she?

A few hours. [Dr. Jackson gives her a confused look.] The Ori used me to sneak one of their own across the border. This child is their way of cheating the ascended rulebook. They couldn't exactly cross over into our galaxy without getting into a confrontation with the Ancients, right? So they created a human representative with their knowledge to lead their armies.

Sort of an uber-Prior, like the Doci?

Oh, but she's MUCH worse than that. The Priors are just pawns, but she knows the score. She's complicit with the Ori; you should have heard the propaganda that she just tried to feed me.

Wait, wait, wait a minute, we're talking about a baby here, right?

Oh. She's been genetically altered. She'll be a fully-grown figurehead in a day or so. If she takes after her mother, she'll have a pretty good figure too.

This is bad.

You're telling me! Origin is about to become a lot more appealing to the males of this galaxy.

Do you have any idea where we're going?

No, that she wouldn't tell me. She knows I'm not on her side; she's just hoping I'll see the light. But part of her can't help but feel tied to me. She wanted me to give her a name.

And?

Adria. Told her it was my mother's.

Not.

Stepmother. Witch of a woman.

You know the more I get to know you, the more I'm starting to understand.

Huh?

Nothing.
