Colonel Jack O'Neill awoke to the telephone ringing quite loudly. Groaning, he got up and picked up the phone. "Yeah?"

"Colonel?" Major Samantha Carter asked.

"What'd you want Carter its my weekend off."

"Uh, yes sir, however there's been a minor detail that involves someone in your close personal life."

Jack rubbed at his eyes still quite irritated, "Carter just tell me what it is so I can get back to what I was doing, I was having a very nice dream."

"Uh, sorry sir, but I don't know much more than that. The General said to tell you that its urgent and you need to get down here right away."

Jack sighed in defeat, "Alright, I'll be right there."

With that he hung up the phone. He got up and headed towards the shower, 'today is gonna be a long day,' he thought to himself.

1 hour later

Jack walked into the briefing room, everyone was there, "Well it's about time Jack. I thought we were gonna have to send in a SWAT team to get you down here." Daniel said jestingly.

"Funny." Jack stated sarcastically.

"Okay people listen up." General Hammond announced seriously.

"Alright sir, what's so important that you had to have SG-1 come in on our weekend off?" Jack asked.

General Hammond looked down and back up at Jack again. "Well Jack I was just about to get to that." He hit the lights and turned the slide projector on.

"About a week ago, SG-13 made contact with what at first seemed a primitive race, however after careful watch, they realized that their technology is far beyond even the Asgard."

Everyone looked around at each other, "Uh, excuse me General did you say even more advanced than the Asgard?" Daniel asked as though he hadn't heard correctly.

"Yes son I did. They call themselves the Bellattes (Bell-e-tees)—"

"Bellates, its similar to Bellator latin for warrior." Daniel stated

"Well that's exactly what they are warriors, more like amazons really, they hate men and refuse to make any sort of trade, they're fighting skills are beyond anything anyone has ever seen before."

"I hate to sound selfish here," the colonel began, "But what in the hell does this have to do with me?"

"I was just getting to that." He stated resolutely.

"The first time SG-13 made contact, the Bellattes took them for hostile invaders and immediately imprisoned them. They would have been put to death if not for a woman, they call the Lady Layana. She is what they refer to as the Protectress. She's not their leader to be exact, but they revere and respect her more than they do their Queen."

The General switched slides to show a beautiful woman, who couldn't have been older than 20, with long dark brown hair down to her waist, with two feathers in the back for decoration, it seemed. She had deep set emerald green eyes, that were cold and hollow, full of pain.

"Kari." Jack whispered, "No that's impossible, General, is this some kind of joke?"

"No joke Jack. We tested her DNA sample, it matches Sakari's exactly."

"How? She…she…"

"I know Jack we all thought she was dead. After she rescued SG-13 they started talking about you at dinner, and she overheard. She sent them back here with the warning that if they ever returned she wouldn't lift a finger to help them and they'd be executed immediately."

"That doesn't make sense." Jack said still trying to grip with reality. But he was going to find out no matter what. "General request permission to take a team through the stargate."

"Well I won't order anyone on this mission Jack, if they don't want to go I won't make them."

They all stood up and practically stated at the same time, "I'll go."

"You have a go then." The General said.
