Max waited quietly while Carter crunched the numbers from her test. Outwardly she was calm. Inside she was a wreck, she knew who she was but if this test was inconclusive she was toast particularly since Adam had decided to go Great Escape on her. She shifted her weight and looked around the room. O'Neill and Hammond were in the observation room Daniel and Carter were with her as were two armed SFs, thanks to Adam's bad behavior she was being kept on a very tight leash. Finally Carter looked up from her computer screen.

"She's telling the truth." She announced.

"How sure are you?" Hammond asked.

"Positive sir, she didn't lie about anything." Max felt herself relax.

"Can we let her out sir?" Daniel asked.

"I don't see why not, Miss Holloway are you fit?"

"Absolutely sir." Max said solemnly.

Max approached the stargate with a new sense of awe. She studied the stable event horizon of the wormhole or the 'puddle', and felt her chest swell. Never in her entire life had she ever considered such things might exist in her world. In spite of the fact that she was immortal she was a natural born skeptic who had been battered by fate, the fact that such wonderful things could still exist astounded her. SG-1 arrived in the gate room and took up their positions. She shared a grin with Jack and stepped through taking point. A split second before entering the event horizon it occurred to her that even with Adam gone, she felt at needed here, she felt like she had finally come home. Then the wormhole consumed her and she opened her eyes on an alien planet.

A/N: I am ending it here for the time being but there will defenitely posolutely be more to come from Max and the team, Jack insists on it. As to Adam, we haven't seen the last of him either :D
