A Sam Carter poll!

[lizardbeth]

Yo, flisters, your opinion!

HYPOTHETICALLY, if I were, say, writing a fic with Sam Carter in it. And if she were going tobe pissed off at the SGC/US, and leave Earth to settle on some other planet (it wouldn't end up for long, but when she chooses it might be forever), where would she go?

My thinking is that she would want to go to a world with technology (no point living rough if you have a choice), a world where she could contribute (she needs work), and is friendly. This is set in S.8, so there's no Ori yet, only Anubis/Baal.

So far I have the possibilities of:
- Langara (Kelowna). Pro: Jonas is there and he can help. Con: the government of Kelowna. Plus, Baal has a known interest in the planet.

- Pangar (from 'Cure', where SG-1 found Egeria). Pro: their tech was near-Earth level. They'd likely be grateful for her expertise. Con: don't know all that much about their international situation. Their government seemed somewhat militant as well.

- The planet(s) from Space Race. Pro: Very advanced. Inter-species friendliness. could probably find work with one of the corporations. Con: extremely commercialized society. Might not be interested in her skills very much.

- Tagrea. (from Memento) Pro: near Earth tech level. Con: um...? Sam would likely know a lot more than we the audience about what what the planet's like, but I can't think of a con except maybe a few Heru'ur cultists.

- ??? any place else you can think of?

(eliminated from contention: Euronda, the planet from Sentinel)
ETA: also eliminated for story reasons: Atlantis, and the Tok'ra

I said Space Race planet but, really, it all depends on her intent. If she's burned out on the saving the galaxy business, she might go there where she can work and contribute but still be fairly anonymous and not have people coming to her with the ZOMG!We'reALLGONNADIE going on.

But I am *SO* partial to her running off to Langera. mostly so she and Jonas can shack up and never ever get out of bed again cause girlfriend needs it *G*

I... honestly have no idea.

how about to the Tok'ra? They would hide her. After all she does contain jolinar's memories ;)

Tho I like the idea of her being able to seek out Jonas for help and comfort, I don't think she would want to stay in Kelowna: the political situation is so rocky, the Baal thing, blah blah blah. Maybe she could stop there first, ask Jonas' help covering her tracks, and move to the next stage of her escape? I voted Pangar for two reasons: first, I would love to hear Sam's thoughts when confronted again with what happened there (all the might-have-beens that never will be because of Egeria's death; all the things that never would have been possible if not for tretonin, assuming it had been adapted for Jaffa use by the timeframe you had in mind) and second, I really liked the girl that Jonas was making eyes at the whole episode. I want to know what happened to her. She's a secondary character about whom we know enough for you to not have to create one more out of whole cloth, but not so much that you can't do pretty much whatever you want with her. Also? So cute. But that's not likely to be of interest to Sam. Now if Jonas came along to help get her settled.... Nevermind. That's probably another story entirely. Did Pangar and the SGC stay close, what with the tretonin and all? Would they look for her there? I think she would not want her hosts to have to suffer any sort of political repercusiion for granting her asylum. Anyway, good luck with the bunnies!
