A/N: This story was written for a good friend, JanSam who has done a lot for me, so I thought I'd return the favour. She wanted a Sam fic in which Sam gets whumped (my favourite kind of fic) and based on her favourite episode. If I name the episode it will spoil part of the fic, so you will have to figure that one out for yourselves. I wish to also thank annsgcfan and JanSam for helping me beta and giving me support with this fic, you guys are great!
Burning Vengeance
Chapter 1
SG1 to the briefing room, SG1 to the briefing room, could be heard over the PA system all throughout the base.
Colonel Jack O'Neill was just finishing off his meat loaf, and was quite annoyed he didn't get a chance to even start his dessert. "Just once I'd like to be able to finish a meal in peace."
"I hear you Jack," Daniel answered looking solemnly at his untouched tuna salad sandwich.
"Perhaps if you came for lunch at an earlier time Daniel Jackson, you would not have this problem." Teal'c answered looking at his empty plate as he got up from the table.
"Yea, well at least Daniel made it to the commissary, unlike a certain Major we know," Jack said leading them out the door to the briefing room.
Major Samantha Carter was busy in her lab, working on the latest alien device recovered by SG7, when she heard the page. 'Damn it,' she swore under her breath; she put her instruments down, secured the device and then headed for the conference room.
General Hammond was in the briefing room, anxiously awaiting SG1.
"General," Jack acknowledged as he entered the room with the others following him in; Sam having had caught up with them in the hall.
"Please be seated everyone," Hammond motioned the group.
"What's going on Sir?" Jack asked as he took his seat.
"SG12 is overdue for their scheduled contact,"
"How long overdue are they Sir," Jack interrupted.
"Going on 5 hours now I'm afraid, which is why I have called all of you here."
"Are we to undertake a search and rescue mission General Hammond?"
"It's more than just a search and rescue mission Teal'c. SG12 were on PX7 798 negotiating with their leaders to trade for trinium."
"Excuse me Sir, but weren't we on good terms with these people? I thought the negotiations were just a formality now." Sam added her inquiries to the conversation.
"Yes Major, they were; which is why this is so puzzling. Not only do we need to find out what happened to SG12, we also need to see what's going on with the negotiations."
Hammond slid folders to all the members of SG1, Jack picked his up and began to thumb through it.
"Uh the people of this world are a little more advanced than the other worlds we are used to seeing," Daniel began. "The Goa'uld abandoned this world quite some time ago, and in the centuries without them, their society has thrived. They are now at a point that I would describe as similar to the early 1900's Earth. They have a major city; their buildings are made of brick like materials. They have found sources of fuel and power, and have re-established mining. Not of naquadah, but other materials natural to their planet. What makes this so interesting is that due to this growth, they have managed to come up with transportation, similar to ours. They have their own rail way system, as well as developing automobiles similar to our early ones."
Jack could tell Daniel was excited, well overly excited that is, "Why thank you Daniel for that oh so informative report, but I think we need to get back at the matter at hand."
"When do we leave Sir?" Jack asked, feeling the urgency to find their people as soon as possible.
"You have thirty minutes to get your people kitted and ready to move out Colonel."
"Yes Sir," Jack said as he and the rest of SG1 stood as Hammond got up and left the room.
"So I wonder what could have happened to them." Daniel asked to no one in particular.
"That's what we're going to find out Daniel," Sam answered following Teal'c and Jack out of the briefing room.
"Okay kids, I want everyone in the Gate Room ready to go in twenty minutes; oh and Daniel and Carter, make sure you grab something to eat before we head out."
"Yes, Sir," Sam answered, a little annoyed with the order.
"Oh great, more ration bars; and to think I could have had a tuna salad sandwich instead," Daniel rolled his eyes at the thought.
Twenty minutes and two ration bars later, SG1 were assembled in the Gate Room.
Jack walked in and found Daniel talking to Teal'c, "You know, when I consulted with Major McKenna, he told me that everything was going fine and that the Ephorian people were eager to trade the trinium for medical supplies and technology. I really have no idea what could have gone wrong."
"Well we're about to find out Danny-boy," Jack said slapping Daniel on the back.
SG1 watched the gate turn as Walter announced the chevrons. Within the minutes the gate splashed out as it formed a wormhole.
"SG1 you have a go, and God's speed," Hammond announced, watching O'Neill salute him and lead his team through the gate. George hated sending his people into unknown danger; just because it was an everyday occurrence didn't mean he would ever get used to it.

SG1 stepped though the event horizon, on alert and weapons ready. Even though the MALP had shown no activity at the gate, they weren't about to take any chances especially with a team missing.
Jack scanned the area, getting a nod from the others; he determined the coast was clear, 'well for now at least' he thought. "Okay kids, which way?"
"It's approximately 5 clicks in that direction Sir," Sam pointed out to Jack.
"Very well then, I'll take point, Carter you're next and Teal'c you have our six. Keep alert everyone you never know if we may run into any lions, tigers and bears," Jack adjusted his sunglasses and led the team out.
"Ah Jack," Daniel spoke up, moving up beside Jack. "We don't have to go in there with guns blazing you know. This could just be some misunderstanding and easily worked out."
"Yes Daniel it could, but until we hear from SG12 and they tell us this and why they have been out of contact, I think a little precaution is called for."
Daniel fell back behind Sam and kept watch as the others did, in silence. He didn't blame Jack for how he handled things, but sometimes he wished Jack would listen to him.
They reached the outskirts of the large city, Jack realized that due to the size and population of the city a more diplomatic approach would be to their advantage. "Okay Daniel who do we speak to?"
Daniel looked up and approached Jack, a little relieved at Jack's decision, "According to Major McKenna's reports, their leader is a fellow known as Yannish, he has led them for many years and seemed to be an intelligent and reasonable man."
"Any idea where we find him?"
"Ah, we could always ask someone on the street," Daniel answered.
"Okay, Daniel and I will go in and look for this Janish guy…"
"Yannish, Jack not Janish."
"Whatever Daniel; Carter, Teal'c I want you two to stay out of sight until you hear from me. If we don't make contact in let's say two hours, then get back to the gate and let Hammond know. We may have to launch a full out search and rescue mission."
"Understood Sir," Sam answered, she didn't like the situation, watching half of the team going into the lions den, but she understood the necessity of the situation.
"Okay Teal'c, we might as well check out what we can, while staying out of sight," Sam grinned as she looked at her rather large companion.
