"when I said I'd help, I meant I would ask the general. Don't hold your breath, ok?"

"General understand this, will yes?"

"uh, hopefully…" Daniel muttered. He was still in awe over the library. He really feels like he would lay down his life to preserve this information. He couldn't fathom what he could gain from this knowledge. "Jack, I can stay here, right? For a while…" There must be so much here… He began to wander into the library in awe. Jack rolled his eyes, noticing Sam in a similar state.

"Fine. You two stay here. Me and T will go back and talk to the general. Don't get lost."

"Lost you will! Not too far to wander, thus?" Daniel and Sam both nodded and wandered into the library, let loose

"Oh, and kids - You only have an hour"

"An hour?!" Daniel whined "But Jaack!"

"Don't push it!" Jack said, holding up a finger. He then turned to the bookkeeper "so, uh, how do we actually get to the Stargate.?"

"Walk, simple! Force that pulls down is pulling sideways still. Take you will bookkeeper." He waved his hand, indicating them to follow. Jack and Teal'c set off after him, Jack with another worried glance back at the two awed members of his team.

*-*_*-*

Daniel was in heaven. He was on his front on the floor, his feet waving back and forward. He had, around him, about ten to twenty books. They were all connected to a race of people from a world that they called "Aadaria". It had taken him about twenty minutes to get to it before he decided to pull out a random book. About five of the books were reference for the language base, and the rest were the history and stories of the people, and some notes on their culture. Daniel was enraptured, and enjoying him self thoroughly. It seemed that, just like the library of Alexandria, every piece of information that a person carried when they came to this world was taken, copied and then given back. He was currently reading a romantic novel about two Aadarians. He enjoyed the story even more when he was intrigued by the odd courting practices and culture that he learnt from the book, and the work he had to put in to translate the words. He was about a tenth of the way through when Jack got back.

"Hey, space monkey!" Jack said when they finally found him lain on the floor. Daniel, in the process of translating a particularily hard sentence, didn't hear him. "Oi, Daniel!" Jack said, poking Daniel with his foot. Daniel jumped and looked up, adjusting his glasses.

"Oh, jack, hey!" Daniel placed all of the books down, carefully getting up without stepping on any of his strewn resources. Jack looked around the carnage, then raised his eyebrow.

"Having fun?"

"This is amazing Jack! We could spend years here and only scratch the surface! Look, these Aadarians, they're like a society that's based o-"

"Daniel"

"uuh, yes?"

"I just got techno babbled to death by Carter. Are you going to" Jack waved his arms "Do what you do at me to?"

"Probably…" Daniel said, put out.

"Right. Pack up, were going home"

"What?!"

"That's what Carter said…" Jack commented "Were going for debrief, and to look at what the General says. End of story. Im sure if you ask the Bookkeeper, he can keep all of there books on hold for you. We'll come back, I promise."

"But Jack!"

"I don't want to hear it! Pack it up!" Jack turned to go and check that Carter was packing away rather than trying to steal a few more moments with whatever she found… Daniel, pouting, began to arrange his books in a single pile in the hope of taking them to the bookkeeper to ask if he would keep them all. When the pile ended up reaching his waist, he realised that he probably wouldn't be able to carry them all the way back to the door where they came in. He was muttering to himself, glaring at the books, when he heard someone behind him. He turned to see the bookkeeper

"You are leaving?" the bookkeeper asked

"Uh, yes, but we're coming back, don't worry. I was wandering if you could keep these books for me…" Daniel asked, indicating the pile. The bookkeeper did not answer

"You cannot leave! Time, we have it not! Come they not in the Starsea! I have no defences such!!"

"They're not coming through the gate? They're coming in ships?"

"yes, yes!" The bookkeeper nodded.

"We also aren't very good at fighting them."

"Maybe, maybe, but!" The Bookkeeper grabbed Daniel's hand and pulled him around the corner. He stood on a floating platform and indicated for Daniel to join him "Come, show you will I" Daniel stepped on it and it began to move. This would have been good if id known about it earlier… He thought. Suddenly, the bookkeeper spoke up. "Maybe yes, your weapons against them not have prevailed…" The bookkeeper waved his arm, and the platform suddenly stopped, throwing Daniel forward off it. The bookkeeper waved his arm again and the platform raised so that he could reach a high shelf. He pulled out a piece of metal about the size of a normal book. He lowered the platform again as he pressed a button on the front. The piece of metal lit up, revealing reams of text that Daniel couldn't read. "Daniel Jackson, Yes?" The bookkeeper nodded at Daniel

"Uh, yes…"

"good,good…" The man pressed a few buttons again "You helped destroy the ship of Ra, and two ships whom were your world to attack." Daniel looked rather scared and stepped back

"Some one is recording my life?"

"Indeed. Not you only, exploits yours and three friends, among others whom with your work. Only exploits, not your whole lives."

"Who?"

"That, not tell I can. Rules and orders forbid me."

"Oh…" Daniel was feeling rather freaked out by now "So…uh…"

"You can help me. Begging you! Time have I not! Don't go weapons to get that cannot help!"

"If you want us to go into a ship and attack it from the inside like we did when they were attacking our world, well… It's a big risk to us. Our people aren't willing to do that, really. We need to get a go ahead, and some weapons, explosives I suppose. That's what we used last time. More guns, ammunition, that kind of thing. I don't even know if our people are willing to send us out on that kind of mission…" Daniel was wrestling with himself. He knew how much this library was worth, and how it could not fall into Goa'uld hands. However, it was a big risk. He needed to go back to the SG-C and convince everyone there. The Bookkeeper grabbed onto him pathetically

"Time!" He implored again "Hurry upon return!"

"We will." He looked down at the Bookkeeper and saw in his eyes, for the first time, a great amount of fear. He was about to comfort him when his radio crackled

"Daniel, Sam!" Jacks voice sounded through "You wont get to stay here just by getting lost. This is not funny! Get back here!" Daniel grinned

"Uh, Yeah Jack. I'm with the bookkeeper, we're on our way back now" there was a silence

"Sam?"

"Im a bit lost, sir…" Sam's embarrassed voice came after a short pause. The bookkeeper laughed, the fear suddenly gone, the mad glint returning to his eyes. He indicated for Daniel to get back on the platform.

"come. Get her we will, on way."

"The bookkeeper seems to know where you are, so were on our way now." Sam thanked them as they set off to go get her. She was standing next to a pile of books only slightly smaller than Daniel's, having apparently returned after getting lost in an attempt to return back to the door. She asked the bookkeeper if he could keep these books for her until the team got back. The bookkeeper laughed

"As I am also for him" He indicated Daniel. "Now, come" He lowered the platform slightly, and Daniel helped her onto it. They set off again towards the door, and home. Silently, the bookkeeper worried. He didn't know if they would get back in time. But they don't seem to understand how very low on time he is. Fear. He thought Fear within me, lots…

*-*_*-*

Daniel was worried. He watched the general as he thought long and hard about the situation he had been presented with. A million questions went through his head Will he let us go back? Does he understand how useful this could be? What will the answer be?! Daniel decided to speak up

"General, this library would be the greatest weapon that the Goa'uld ever gain. We cant let them get a hold of it!"

"I know, Dr Jackson – but I don't know if it would be safe to send SG-1 on this mission. We have barely got by in the past. I cant weigh this library against the lives of my people. Daniel raised his eyebrows at the general

"With all due respect, general, I would die for that place, be it to stop it from reaching the hands of the Goa'uld, or to get the information ourselves!"

"General, what Daniel is saying is that this is the most important thing we could have found. You have to seriously consider this." Sam spoke.

"I know people. But you have to understand what I am being asked." The general paused again, then shook his head "I will think about it. dismissed"

"But general!" Daniel implored

"Dismissed, "

*-*_*-*

The bookkeeper was standing alone, watching the gate. He was waiting, and he would continue to wait. He couldt save himself, or his library. It was up to them. He stood on the wall, gravity ready for the return of his new friends. He looked at a small metal screen that he had in his hand. On it was a ship. A great ship, black and gold. It was getting closer. He could see it deploy small gliders. Lots of them. He closed his eyes, allowing a small tear to escape out the side. He looked up at the gate again

"Time, Daniel Jackson" He whispered. As the first shots exploded around him, and the mountain began to rumble, he fell to his knees, more tears escaping.

"Time."

Noooooo D=
