Summary: It's in the name but what we've spent the last 8 years fight for.

"Off-world activation, repeat Off-world activation" blares out across the lower levels of the SGC, guard's race towards the embarkation room. General O'Neill walks down the stairs as his team assembles in the control room.

"Who is it now?" Jack calls from the bottom of the stairs

"What's wrong sir?"

"Nothing Carter, just no teams are due back and for some reason I don't have a good feeling about..."

"Sir it's the Tok'ra" the gate technician interrupts him

After a few seconds pause jack turns his head slowly towards the sergeant

"Thanks Walter" comes the sarcastic reply

Everyone in the control room suppresses a smile as Jack storms out of the control room mumbles curses

In the gate room Anise/Freya, Jacob Carter/Selmac and Garshaw all walk through the event horizon and proceed down the ramp.

"Hey guys what can we do for you?"

"Greeting General O'Neill", "O'Neill", "Hey Jack" come the replies from the 3 Tok'ra assembled at the bottom of the ramp.

"Dad, hey" Sam walks forward and embraces her father. While the other members of SG-1 file into the Gate room

Jacob turns from his daughter to Jack

"Well Jack, I think you are finally going to retire"

"Jacob if this is about you wanting my job please go ahead"

"No Jack not that" Jacob replies with a smirk

"We should continue this discussion else where" Booms Garshaw in the deep metallic tones of a symbiote"

"Ok, to the briefing room" Jack say's with suspicion as everyone files out towards the upper level

"Are you sure?" Daniel's voice is full of hesitation as he leans into the table.

"We are quite sure, We are reluctant to test it as if we did it could cost the Jaffa there lives but if we can find some volunteers then this weapon may be able to finally assist us in the final defeat of the go' auld" Garshaw replies her metallic voice with hints of excitement

"Ok, Carter you want to explain" Jack answers where both Carters present heads jump up

"Well sir if I understand correctly, the Tok'ra have gone even further in designing their poison, essentially it only targets mature symbiotes. The fact that mature symbiotes have total control over their hosts means the symbiote directly absorbs the new version of the poison. Where as with Jaffa it is transferred through the individual to the symbiote allowing for it to be filtered out through the humanoid physiology of

the Jaffa"

Jack sits there merely blinking, "It will only kill Goa'uld sir, not Jaffa" Sam adds.

"Thank you" Jack smiles and nods his head turning to the three Tok'ra sat on the left side of the table with SG1 sitting opposite jack at the top

"What are your plans?" The question directed at Jacob hoping to get a straight answer

"Simple, we hit the main home worlds and supply outposts for all the system lords, killing off any one who could potentially take over."

"What of the ones residing ships and are not present on there home worlds" Teal'c contributes

"Considering the power vacuum this will create we believe locating those remaining should not prove difficult and can be removed by similar means" Freya answers, her host remaining silent

"Why are you telling us this?" Sam eager to learn why the Tok'ra are allowing them in on this massive plan when they had left out the fact there plans for the new version of the poison.

"See this is the tricky part" Jacob answers his daughter in a very reluctant manner...
