Amo, ergo sum

It came so suddenly, Narim remarked as he checked how he looked in the mirror. With a touch to it, his reflection slowly turned completely around so he could see the back of him as well as the front for yet another time since receiving a communiqué from Sam to come to Earth as soon as possible. The urgency made it sound official, yet the wording was informal. A quite confusing message all in all, but one Narim was glad to receive.

So off to the Stargate, SGC and to see Sam again.

It was definitely not what he expected.

"You mean you didn't mean to send for me?" confusion easily won the war over hurt as Narim sensed there was a problem bothering her. One he saw clearly when Janet explained that there is an implant in each of SG-1's brains and that apparently they are linked in a network that has generated an AI persona called Urgo.

Narim was impressed before distress took over with his concern for Sam. "Would you like my people to try to remove these?" he offered without really knowing if they could. This was as advanced as Tollan or possibly more advanced. Further discussion was interrupted by another arrival, Martouf.

Oddly enough he came by himself. The Tok'ra rarely did that and actually only Jacob typically came to Earth without an escort of at least one other Tok'ra.

"Sam I have had the oddest notions in recent days," Martouf began after greetings were exchanged and both Tollan and Tok'ra were shown upstairs to the conference room. "I have wanted coffee to drink, food that I am completely unaware of, much like the words to a song that sings of rowing one's boat down a stream. And then yesterday I felt I ...that I should really come to see you."

He knew they both were not comfortable with the possibility of Ina'kalesh, being soul bound because it might be with Jolinar's 'remnant' within Sam and not Sam herself.

"We still cannot convince her," Lantash pointed out, with Martouf adding, "Because we are not certain ourselves. The love we had was deep enough for Ina'kalesh, yet what we feel for Samantha is also deep."

"It was the time you sent a message to ask me to come, Samantha," Narim estimate after hearing time on Earth, message received time stamp on Tollana and figuring out the time on the planet Martouf was on.

"Waaaay, smarter..." was a comment uttered by Daniel and meant for ears of SG-1 only.

Not that any were listening further as Jack and Teal'c suddenly stood and left the conference room. Then Sam took Martouf's and Narim's hands and lead them over to a corner.

"What are we doing Martouf?" it was a deliberate stress of 'we' as Lantash also felt the urge to want to touch Sam, hold her, kiss her beginning along neck as she was facing Narim who appeared quite confused as she started to try to take his clothing off as Martouf was finding he was doing so with Sam's.

They didn't get very far.

"You are saying that this Urgo persona was influencing you to try this Samantha?" Narim asked as order was regained. Apparently Sha're and Daniel were also engaged with divesting themselves of clothing as were Jack and Teal'c once they had caught up to Sara and Drey'auc.

"I just wanted to see what it's like. You think about it sometimes, some of you a lot!" Martouf clearly heard and now saw Urgo as he explained.

It was something both promising to both Martouf and Lantash and relieving to Sha're as it was with her that the subject of Ina'kalesh came up weeks ago. She and Daniel are supposedly Ina'kalesh, and since she sees this Urgo without an implant and is subject to his suggestions, it is likely through that bound of their love, their soul bound.

"It means that Samantha could be our other half of our soul, that we are love bound together," Martouf thought to Lantash with great hope, one he felt his symbiote also carried, "But again we do not know, nor does she if this is an echo of what was left of Jolinar, Martouf. Proceed slowly."

This is an implication that was not lost on Narim either to his discomfort.

So he threw himself in helping Sam and the rest. Getting in touch with Urgo's creator, helping to establish a meeting as perhaps one among equals.

-That- did not work out.

Out of all of them he did retain memories of their time with Togar, with the possibility of returning there one day on behalf of his people, the Tollan. He had one other memory of which he will cherish, one of Samantha giving him a kiss, thanking him all the trouble he went through on their, on her behalf.

Ina'kalesh

"We do not remember the loss of time, but we clearly heard the word uttered in the voice of the Vorlon, Kosh," Lantash remarked to Martouf as they stopped and stared at Sam while Daniel and Sha're utter the single word of 'Oh'.

"Yet is it for Jolinar or Samantha?" Martouf asked Lantash with anguish, the older part of the blended pair considered for a time and then proposed, "Perhaps it is both."
