Sorry for the delay RL has intervened. Will try to be quicker with the next bit.
"Friend Teal'c?" The spider sounded so disappointed that Jack tried to hide the grin that threatened to appear in response.
"Rak'nor! What are you doing here?" Teal'c knelt down beside Zzzig's bundle and tried to hack at it with a knife. Zzzig continued to tear the wrapping from her prize and they soon had the Jaffa sticky but released. Rak'nor took several deep breaths as he rubbed at his skin and gazed fearfully at the huge spider.
"A friend of yours?" Jack asked Teal'c as he eyed the Jaffa.
"He was a pupil of Bra'tac and is one of us," Teal'c replied finding himself unusually reticent about Rak'nor's somewhat unstable past. "He is a friend," Teal'c confirmed looking Rak'nor in the eye and seeing gratitude in response to his affirmation.
Jack cocked his head to one side as he watched the interaction between the pair and realised Teal'c was not telling him everything. Then again he trusted Teal'c's judgement and trusted him with his life. 'As long as it's not a Jaffa revenge thing and this isn't.' Jack thought. "OK. That is really useful. He can give us all the info we need on the ship."
Rak'nor looked at the Tauri and asked. "What are you going to do?"
To Rak'nor's surprise Teal'c exhibited a wide grin as he pulled him to his feet. "Steal it," he explained.
Rak'nor's surprise turned to a look of awe as he turned from Teal'c to Jack. Then he gazed around at the mixture of aliens that confronted him and a slow smile appeared on his face. "That would seem justifiable under the circumstances."
"What circumstances are those?" Daniel asked and Rak'nor looked at him properly for the first time.
"You are Daniel Jackson. I recognise you from Master Bra'tac's description. Your friends," he said pointing at the Salvaje, "are not going to like this. This Goa'uld loves to hunt. The only reason we are here is for him to be able to hunt them. He has a place on the ship were he is collecting their heads."
"He is doing this for sport, nothing else!" Sam demanded in an outraged voice. He nodded his head and noticed the huge creature stood beside her put a paw on her shoulder, as if to restrain her.
A growling began among the creatures surrounding him and he glanced nervously at Teal'c. "They understand me?"
"He understands Carter and Zzzig, and then he tells them." Jack explained as he waved his hand in their relative directions. "We need a way into the ship," he stated and waited for a reply.
Alex watched the scene with interest and decided that Jack O'Neill and his team got more than their fair share of luck on missions. He grinned as he realised how much easier Jack's intentions had just become. The Salvaje stood close to him saw him grin and bared its teeth in response. Alex took it as a sign of agreement and patted his arm. The creature stood still for a moment and then patted him back, pushing him a couple of feet in the process. Jack noticed the byplay and called Alex over to the group. Much to the Jaffa's relief they all settled on the ground to discuss what they intended to do.
"How long before you are missed?" Jack asked him.
"Another hour maybe when I am due on duty," he responded.
"Can you get us in?" Teal'c asked interrupting Jack.
"Same way as I came out. No one knows I am not on the ship."
"Why are you on this ship?" Daniel butted in his curiosity roused.
"This is one of the Lesser Goa'uld's. We were hoping to pick him off as he has a rival. We were going to use this to show our loyalty to him and gain trust in that Goa'uld camp. What you intend could be most useful to the Rebellion."
Granta growled and everyone turned to look at him and then at Sam. "Granta says that we all appear to be of one accord. This tactic will serve all three of our groups. We get the ship, the Rebellion gets its story and Granta and his people get rid of all of us." Sam grinned as she finished and Jack grinned in response as a rumble of amusement ran quietly around the hollow.
"Then it looks like we will be attacking from within. We will need to penetrate the ship now when Rak'nor returns." Jack stopped and looked at him. "This is just in case something unforeseen happens. I don't want to be faced with any curved balls when everything is running our way." There were nods of agreement all round and everyone began picking up their equipment.
Rak'nor looked at the aliens preparing to go with him and asked. "Who is going to control them?"
"No one," Daniel told him. "They are quite capable warriors in their own right. Sam will tell them what we are going to do and they will help us do it. Once the fighting starts you'll need to stay out of their way or you might get hurt by mistake."
This could be short or I could do a hurt comfort that will make it longer?
