Cassie stood in Jennifer Hailey's lab totally still. She could still feel the woman's presence. Cassie was been a teen when Jen had come onto Sam's radar. At first Cassie had been jealous of the brilliant young woman. Cassie had been an alien kid who didn't feel like she fit in, add to that being a teen and everything seemed a million times harder and a billion times not fair. One day Cassie had exploded at Sam, accusing her of taking the easy way out and finding the perfect daughter instead of loving the one she was stuck with, Cassie.

Cassie smiled to herself at the memory. Janet had gone off on her. Whew. Yelling and yelling. How Cassie could have been dead if it weren't for Sam, how Sam would have loved to adopt Cassie, had even tried, but the Air Force wouldn't agree to it, and on and on.

When Janet had taken a breath Sam had gently led Janet by the arm outside and the entire house had gone still and silent. Cassie couldn't have said how long she sat there in the silence before Sam had come back into the house alone. They'd had a long talk about who Cassie was to Sam, who Sam was to Cassie, and Cassie had also gotten sternly talked to about disrespecting her mother. It was the first time that Sam had ever laid down the law to Cassie, had been the disciplinarian.

Cassie tilted her head to one side as she wondered if Janet had known somewhere in her soul on that day what was going to happen to her on that planet a couple of years later. She'd always meant to ask Sam what she and Janet had talked about outside, but had never gotten up quite enough courage to do so.

Cassie shook herself out of her reverie and sat down at Jen's former workstation. She woke it up and after a second's pause she punched in the sequence that Jen had used her dying breaths to impart to Sam. Cassie really hoped whatever it unlocked wasn't some love letter to Mentor Sam.

A screen popped up, followed by a browser that opened to a cached page. It was a forum for relatives of missing persons.

"Hmmm." Cassie found Jen's username and checked out her activity. "Looking for a missing Hailey brother. Went missing her freshman year at the Academy."

Cassie went back to the threads list and went in a couple of them. Then, while reading one of them she froze. "Oh my God." She read it again, but the words didn't change. "Right hair, eye color, right height and weight, and descriptors. My God."

Cassie paused, then her fingers flew across the keyboard, she wasn't as good as Sam or Jen, or any of the computer geeks on the base, but she knew enough, and she was sitting at a secret government terminal. That gave her a bit of a leg up when it came to intelligence gathering. When she found it, the answer to where the message was posted from was confusing. "A library in Midcoast Maine?" She glanced down at her watch, then picked up the phone by the computer, "Colonel Davis, sir. It's Cadet Fraiser. Yes, sir, I'm well, I need a really, really big favor sir."

Sam stood at the back of the bridge with SG-1 past and present. She addressed Daniel and Jack. "Could he be alive?"

The two men answered as one, "No."

Sam nodded, "Well, Jen seemed sure that it was Ra. Not an impostor, not another Goa'uld using Horus guards, but Ra. So, we'll approach this mission as if she did see Ra. Daniel, the planet, P5X-534?"

Daniel opened a folder, but didn't look down at it. "We don't know a whole lot. I've looked at what little we have from the MALP, but it's only by the Stargate and as we know, a lot of civilizations simply leave the Stargate as they find it, and who knows, there could be a Tollan or Nox society beyond what the team saw. But, I don't see anything that indicates that Ra ruled the planet. From what there is, it seems as those on the planet worshiped Neith, sometimes she's the mother of Ra in the Egyptian Pantheon, sometimes not. It's a connection, but we've never run across any documentation that she was a Goa'uld."

"Just has a namesake Hak'tyl Jaffa."

Daniel nodded, "The goddess was considered a war goddess, as well as one of wisdom. Supposedly she was even the arbiter of a dispute between Horus, Heru'ur, and Seth. There are those that equate Neith and Artemis or Athena."

Sam regarded Daniel, "And you Daniel?"

"I've never met anyone who worshiped Neith."

Jack shook his head, "There are only so many archaeologists who can phrase it that way. Okay people, we'll be there in a few hours. Everybody needs to get some shut eye."

There was a 'yes sir' from Cameron, a 'yeah, yeah, yeah' from Daniel and silence from Teal'c and Sam. The three men went towards the corridor and left the bridge heading to their quarters, and since the ship was pretty much empty, they definitely had their choice.

Sam didn't move from her spot, "Colonel Carter, you too."

Sam gave a short shake of her head, "No sir. My ship-," Sam paused, "-unless you were planning on changing that, I stay up with her."

Jack was silent for a long moment before he nodded, "Very well Colonel." And followed the other guys out.

Sam went to the front of the bridge and slid into the Command Chair. Kevin Marks, her XO on the George Hammond turned halfway so that he could see his CO's face. "He doesn't know?"

Sam shook her head. "How are the engines looking?"

Kevin glanced back at Sam. "Weren't they tweaked by you?"

Sam rolled her eyes, "Fine, fine, you get that point, they're doing well. Now, if everyone's done giving me grief, would someone get me a line to the SGC?"

Cassie whacked the side of the GPS unit as she took a turn. "Good for nothing British accent lady. Crazy, stupid New England horses and their roads. And, of course, no one happened to stuff an actual map anywhere."

"Turn left, turn left."

"Shut the hell up, shut the hell up. Oh, a sign." Cassie followed the arrow, "Telling me to turn left to get to the library. Uh..." Cassie gave the GPS a pat, "Sorry 'bout that British lady."

She followed the signs until she got to a three car parking lot. She parked and stared at the entrance to the building. Right beside it was a sign with the hours. She looked down at her watch and hurried a little, they were almost closed.

Still, even though it was near closing time she took her time entering the library. When she did, books were the first thing that she saw. A rainbow of spines and covers of all shapes and sizes of books.

A voice spoke. One she immediately recognized. "I'm sorry, but we're about to close. We'll be open at ten am tomorrow."

Cassie slowly turned and stared. She was sure that her heart could be seen trying to escape out from between her ribs. She blinked and started around the desk. A tall woman tried to get in her way, but Cassie pushed her to one side, scattering books everywhere, and landing the surprised woman on her rump.

Jane backed into a corner and there was no where to go. "I... I'm not sure what you want, what I..."

Cassie grabbed Jane in a hug that was so hard that Jane was sure she heard one of her ribs snap in two. For a moment the brunette resisted, but then, when Jane heard a half of a sob she frowned and put her arms around Cassie's neck and hugged back.

After what felt like forever, Cassie finally let go of Jane and took a step back. "My God, Janet, Mom..."

Janet took one step back, then another, bumping into a shelf of books, her hand on her heart. "Di-did you ju-just say Mom?" Cassie nodded, "But, the doctor, she thought, no kids."

"Adopted."

Janet processed this, "But, you..." she stared at the tallish young woman that was giving her all she'd wanted since she woke up in the hospital. "...you know me."

Cassie nodded slowly, "I do. Cassandra Fraiser. Uh, actually, Cadet Cassandra Fraiser." For a reason that Janet still didn't understand Cassie blushed.

Janet blinked, and stared, stunned silent. "And, what's my name?"

"Janet Fraiser. You're a medical doctor and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force."

"Oh," Mel was up and managed to catch Janet before she hit the ground, "Of course."
