Chapter 1

Jack was casually walking down the corridor, heading to write another godforsaken report, when he passed Konoko's office. Inside, he heard something that made him do a double take. It was the sound of laughter, grunting, and exertion, from two female voices. Oh god, Jack thought, she can't be. But it sure sounds like it. Hmm, Jack pondered, should I look who she it doing it with? Maybe just a peek. Jack, using all of his special ops training, cracked the door and opened it a crack as silently as he could. What he saw when he peered through the crack shocked him more than he could have ever expected. "Konoko?" he exclaimed, "and CARTER!?" Konoko and Sam looked up, Sam a little guiltily. "Jack stepped into the room, "Konoko, I guessed might be, but you Carter, you're a, a gamer?" Jack's gaze swept from Konoko and Sam, who were sitting in separate LAY-Z-BOYS, to the controllers they had in their hands, to the X-Box on the floor, to the big screen TV that sat against the wall. "Konoko, you have some explaining to do!" Jack shouted. "For starters, you get a video game, and you call Carter, not ME?! What the hell were you thinking? And moreover, how the hell did you get all this stuff?"

Konoko shrugged, still focusing on the game, "I dunno, I asked the General."

Jack was on the verge of tears. "Hammond gave you a big screen TV and an X-Box? B-but, you've only been working here for, like, 6 months. This is so unfair!"

"Sir, calm down." Sam said soothingly. "Konoko got all this stuff for a reason."

"What possible reason would warrant all this stuff?" Jack choked out.

"She's expanding her fighting abilities, sir." Sam replied.

Jack looked at the game on the screen. Dead or Alive 3. He scanned the games and DVDs that sat on the floor. The Matrix, Legend of Drunken Master, Bruce Lee Fighting Challenge, and so on. "She's doing it with video games? But those games aren't realistic. No one could do the stuff that they do in those games."

Konoko put up her hand. "I can. Remember, I'm not exactly a run of the mill human being. I picked up a lot of Kung-fu and Ninjitsu from the Matrix and this Dead or Alive game, now I'm working on Drunken Boxing."

Jack looked accusingly at Carter. "And you? What's your excuse?"

Sam shrugged. "I'm on break."

"But, you never go on break!" Jack exclaimed.

Sam nodded. "Yeah but before no one had an X-Box in their office."

Jack stepped towards Sam menacingly. "Carter, give me the controller."

"Sir, I'm still playing!"

Jack snorted. "Don't you still have some alien doo-dad to look at?"

Sam grumbled something that sounded a bit like "Jackass" and got out of her chair, handing the controller over to Jack. As Jack was about to make his first attack, "SG-1 report to the briefing room immediately!" sounded over the PA system.

"Sorry sir," Konoko said as she got up, "you'll have to get beat down some other time."

Jack looked suspiciously at the two girls on his team. "When did you two get so sarcastic?"

Konoko shrugged. "I dunno. You should pay more attention, maybe you would have noticed."

"Aw, shut up." Jack replied as he stormed out of the room.

The two girls laughed and followed him out, and up to the briefing room, where they were met by Teal'c, Jonas and a very stern looking General Hammond. "Gentlemen, we have some important news to discuss. It's about the Syndicate."

"Aw, crap." Jack said sullenly. "Konoko looks like you might be able to put that drunken boxing to good use."

Hammond nodded. "The Tok'ra have informed us that the Syndicate has become very strong over the past couple of weeks, taking in new recruits at an alarming rate. The Tok'ra believe that they have upgraded their mind control technology, increasing the speed that they can pump out new soldiers."

Konoko shrugged. "Sir, we suspected that this might happen, why did you call a meeting to talk about what we already knew."

"Konoko, I'm afraid that there's more to it than that." Hammond answered. "It seems that the Syndicate has upgraded their armor as well. They're wearing some kind of partially mechanized suit that increases their strength and speed."

Sam nodded. "Makes sense. They lost the ability to create biological super soldiers, so they're trying to create mechanical ones."

"Now from what the Tok'ra have told us, these suits have been given to most of the soldiers, and they suspect they are powered by naquadah."

"Where did they get enough naquadah for that?" Jonas wondered. "Last we checked they didn't even have enough to power their plasma rifles with."

Hammond shrugged. "They must have found somewhere to mine it."

There is another possibility to consider." Teal'c pointed out. "Is it not possible that the Syndicate has been conquered by a Goa'uld?"

"I won't rule that out." Hammond agreed. "But it seems likely that any Goa'uld would assimilate the Syndicate rather than supply it. Anyway, the Syndicate has a small outpost on P4XJ71. I'm sending you to perform a strike on the outpost. Test the new striker's abilities, but pull out if you have to. Konoko, I know that you're basically superhuman now, but be careful anyways."

Konoko nodded. "Don't worry General, I always am."

Hammond smiled. "Good then, SG-1, you have a go."
