Chapter 4

I started walking way from Teal'c to the infirmary doors when I heard footsteps behind me. I had to go see General Landry it was important, Teal'c's life was in my hands.

"Inari is everything okay?" asked Doctor Lam. I turned around noticing that she was nearly directly behind me.

"Yes I have to talk to your father though, to make sure," I replied.

"Make sure of what?" she asked naturally nervous for there was nothing she could do to help Teal'c.

"That it is okay to talk to the Ancients to get permission to save Teal'c," I replied.

"Oh," she replied softly.

"Don't worry everything is going to be fine I'll explain later but when I come back I'm going to need you to be ready, okay?" I asked.

"Okay," Doctor Lam replied quickly not questioning my judgment which I found as odd. I started running down the halls to get to Landry's office when I skidded to a halt. What the fuck I can just teleport there, stupid. I teleported myself right in front of the door to Landry's office, SG-1 was walking by and noticed me knocking on the door and entering his office.

"What do you think is going on?" asked Sam.

"I don't know but I'm gonna find out," replied Mitchell walking into the briefing room aiming to go into the General's office but a hand stopped him.

"Wait," said Daniel. "We have no idea what's going on Landry could have asked to see her we should wait until they're finished."

"Daniel's right Mitchell," said Vala and Mitchell proceed to pull out a chair and plunk his ass in the chair. The other three did the same thing hoping they wouldn't have to wait long.

"Inari what can I do for you?" asked General Landry as I sat down in the chair opposite his.

"I believe I can help Teal'c but it requires me to talk to the Ancients," I replied. "I already have called a meeting, in all honestly I didn't think they would grant me one or else I would have asked you first. As you can tell sir this is an emergency and Teal'c needs the help now so…."

"Go, do whatever you can to save Teal'c," said Landry.

"We should probably explain what's going on to the others, they're outside now," I said getting up out of my chair. Landry gave me this odd look, got out of his chair and opened the door. He let me leave the room first and followed me soon after, noticing us caused all of what was left of SG-1 to get out of their chairs.

"I know you're all probably wondering what's going on so I'm going to try to explain it to you," I said after a few seconds of silence. "Teal'c's body is shutting down as you all know but you don't know why." Everyone was oddly quiet; I figure it was to let me explain. I could tell though Mitchell was using all his strength to not blow up at me. "It's because of the changes it went through during what happened on the Odyssey. Teal'c's body couldn't handle the rapid slowing down while in the bubble, and then the rapid speeding up when the time bubble was reversed and Teal'c continued to live life normally, add that to not having a symbiote but taking Tretonin it was a time bomb waiting to happen."

"Wait I don't understand," said Sam.

"We all went through that," said Daniel continuing what Mitchell wanted to say.

"But he went through it differently," I replied. "He's aging process was slowed down but not reversed like the rest of you his then had to speed up to age normal in the time he was in. His body if it had a symbiote might have reacted better but with the Tretonin it well the Tretonin did nothing. His body couldn't handle the changes so it, well it decided to start from scratch, by shutting down every organ until they could…well be reprogrammed of the sorts."

"So you're saying he's gonna be fine?" asked Sam.

"No what I'm saying if something doesn't happen fast Teal'c's whole body will shut down, which will result in his death."

"Then do something about it," Mitchell finally screamed. Not very loud, but it was angry enough that you got what he said.

"That is what I am doing I'm going to the Ancients to talk to them about fixing him, because the only way to save him doesn't just require healing him physically but there are other steps to," I replied.

"Why do you need to talk to them about it?" asked Vala fearing that what she was thinking was what I would say for she knew a lot more about the Ancients then you would think, through me.

"The only process that could save Teal'c isn't allowed to be done," I replied. "So I must plead my case because doing it would be easier with their help." Vala's thoughts were right.

"So when are you going?" asked Daniel.

"As soon as we are finished," I replied.

"How long will you be?" asked Sam.

"You should barely registered I left," I replied and with a blink of an eye I was gone. Time slowed down that it almost stood still…well more correctly I should say to me it was like time on Earth stood still and that SG-1 and General Landry hadn't even moved but the realm between Earth, the physical plane and the Ancient's "world" or the I guess you could say a kind of spiritual plane was, well there were differences. As I stepped down onto the floor of the hall everything was completely dark, black, you couldn't see anything. Well a human couldn't but I could. I could see the table that The Others would sit at during this meeting, I could see "the stands" where all the other Ancients would sit, and I could see the chair I was supposed to sit in it. I wouldn't though, I never did.

I was deep in thought about what to say to The Others when they appeared in their seats with a still silence no one would notice. At least not until the fire poles on each side of the table were set alight and the flame shot up ten feet into the air. That kind of stuff tends to get people's attention, whether they want to or not. I brought my attention to the long table at the end of the hall I mentioned earlier, five people sat there: a man on each end, a woman next to them, and another man in the center. All the other Ancients, sans the ones that were on missions, were sitting in "the stands".

"You kept us waiting," said the man, in old Ancient, at the center of the table, the leader of The Others.

"I believe I told the women you sent to inform me of this meeting as to why I would be late, Darius," I replied in Old Ancient.

"That is not a valid excuse," said Darius in an authoritative tone, which most people, human, Jaffa, and Ancient alike would bow to but me being as stubborn as I am would not.

"It is when I gave that man my word and it concerned the ill Jaffa under his employ," I replied.

"That does not matter we come first before a human you are to come when I, we say come," said Darius.

"Not when it breaks my word that I have given someone for that is more important," I replied.

"For your insolence and for trying to get permission to use a method that has been banned for centuries this meeting is finished with," said Darius still using his authoritative tone, while getting up.

"You will listen to me, Darius," I yelled, my eyes flashed black and stayed that just stared at each other, both full of anger, that's when I knew this was going to be a long and annoying meeting but when was it not.
