(2002) – Tok'ra
Sirens went off in the Gate room, attracting the attention of SG-1. Sam looked over at Daniel. "What do you think it is?" She asked, worriedly.
He shrugged. "Don't know."
They hurried to the Gate room, to find three badly injured Tok'ra limping through the event horizon.
"I need a medical team to the Gate room!" Hammond ordered.
"What happened?" Sam asked, her heart pounding in fear.
"Attack..." One of the Tok'ra managed.
"Attack?" Daniel asked, surprised.
"Give them some air!" Janet demanded as she hurried into the Gate room. She examined the Tok'ra who had been speaking before looking over at her friends, now joined by a curious Teal'c. "Get them to the infirmary, stat!" She called to the other medics. She looked over at Sam, Daniel and Teal'c with a look of obvious worry on her face as she turned to follow the medics. They looked at each other, mirroring the looks on their own faces before they looked up at Hammond who motioned them to the Briefing Room.
"We need to find out what the hell happened." He said, obviously more than a little upset.
"Once Janet has stabilized the Tok'ra who came through, we'll interrogate them."
"Teal'c, can you get in touch with the Jaffa? Maybe they know what's going on."
Teal'c nodded. "I will depart to Chulak immediately."
Hammond nodded. "Take SG-3 with you."
Teal'c raised an eyebrow in question.
"Just in case this is friendly fire." He said with a sigh. "The Aschen may have made a mistake and fired on the Tok'ra."
"The Aschen?" Daniel asked, skeptically.
Suddenly, Sam felt a bit sick to her stomach at the thought that O'Neill's warnings might have been well-deserved.
"There's something that just doesn't sit right with me about them." Hammond admitted. "O'Neill's hot-headed, but he's not stupid."
Sam looked up at the general. "May I go and check on the Tok'ra?"
The look on her face reminded everyone that she had a personal stake in the well-being of the Tok'ra race.
Hammond nodded. "I will send messages to our remaining allies to report on the status of surviving Tok'ra."
"Thank you." She said, standing.
"Dismissed." He said, nodding her dismissal.
"Thank you, sir." She said, quickly leaving the room.
Hammond watched her go before turning to Teal'c. "Find out what happened. If it was those Ashen, I want to know."
Teal'c nodded, gravely.

Sorry I've taken so long to add to these chapters. Life's been crazy with all sorts of curve balls thrown. I'm nearing graduation from college, and I've recently published my first novel. "The Lady of the Manor" under the name Rachel Andersen. This can be found at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It's 120 pages and published by PublishAmerica. Hope you check it out and enjoy what you find!
