PREVIOUSLY ON THE PLANET
SAM? SAM? Can you see me? I'm right here. Please, kill me, kill me. There using me Sam, I can see you watching me through the tank. Their using my body again Sam. I can see through the larvae. Their eyes, I can see you. Kill me, please Sam.
Kill him Sam, for me. Kill all of them for doing this to me. I can feel them in my body Sam. I can't let them live and do this to me. Please don't let them take over me again. Sam? Sam?
NO, NO. Don't leave me here Sam, please, kill me Sam. KILL ME.
UNKNOWN TIME
Yes, she will do nicely my lord. I have a strange sense that we belong together.
She has been well prepared to incubate our young my Queen. Her body showed traces of Naqahdah; so consider yourself quite lucky my Queen. Soon we will prepare to enslave them all. Too long have I waited while by twin died by the hands of the Tau'ri. I will make them pay for their insolence.
My Lord Ra? When will I be able to possess her body. I miss your touch. It has been too long since having a suitable host.
Patience my Queen, patience. I need her for now to incubate more larvae. She is such a fighter. I had scratches and bruises all over me from her struggling not to be taken. Soon, I will have you and her at the same time. Think how delicious you both will be and knowing she can feel everything.
My lord Ra; I do love your intentions. We both can have her as long as we wish.
Yes, my Queen. Let her heal in the sarcophagus a little while longer. Then we will have her and soon the galaxy.
INFIRMARY
Just then Jack arrived in the infirmary and saw that Vala was strapped to her hospital bed and Daniel and Sam looked worried. Jack walked over to put an arm on Sam's shoulder.
"Sam? What's wrong?
Sam could barely speak. She and Daniel were still in shock from Vala's request. "Vala woke up terrified. Sh…..she wanted me to kill her Jack. The doctor is contacting Caroline to consult on her condition. She's lapsing into a coma and I- I think she believes she's still on the planet with Ra."
Jack was shaking his head, knowing he had more bad news for them both. "I'll alert the Captain to head back to earth at light speed. Caroline will know what to do."
Jack almost hated to tell them more, but this may affect them all if Whitted has his way Jack thought.
"Daniel? Sam? I have some other news too. Ra is dead mysteriously and Whitted wants to take over command." Said Jack.
Both Sam and Daniel's mouth fell open, listening to Jacks announcement.
"I don't know what happened, but Teal'c and Mitchell are heading up the investigation. There's something sticking in my crawl about this whole mission and I can bet Whitted is hiding something."
Sam had turned to looking back at Vala's pale appearance. She was worried about her friend wanting to die and now all the trouble they had went to retrieve the powerful symbiote had cost Vala maybe her sanity. Daniel looked back briefly and Vala and knew that Sam was feeling the most guilt about what happened to Vala. Jack motioned Daniel into the outer room, while Sam stayed at Vala's bedside.
"Sam is really taking this hard, huh? Asked Jack.
"Yeah. I know that she saw Vala in the incubation tank and had to leave her. I don't know Jack. I don't know what I would have done in Sam's situation. It had to be hard to leave Vala behind, knowing what the process of creating more Gou'ald was like. Remember, when you were almost used to incubate larvae for Hathor?"
"Please, don't remind me, said Jack shaking his head at the memory. Look Daniel; can you stay close to Sam and Vala? If my hunch is right, Whitted will try to blame SG1 for this mess and if he gets his way, I have a feeling we are all going to suffer."
"Sure Jack. I just don't want to lose someone else we care about. Vala has been through so much in her life at being host and now we don't even know what Quetesh or Ra has done to her down on the planet. She wanted to die Jack. She actually was giving up. We've have to save her Jack."
"I know Danny boy, I know. I'm worried about Sam too. She hasn't been the same since bringing Vala back and if anything happens now; I feel Sam won't recover."
"We'll take care of them both Jack. We can't let them win in this one. Whitted, the Goua'ld. All of those monsters deserve themselves."
"We won't Daniel, we can't. I'm going to keep my eye on Whitted for the time being. I don't trust that twit for anything as being as simple as a dead symbiote that tried to attack him."
"Keep me abreast of the investigation Jack. I'll stick with Sam and Vala and let you know if there's any change." Stated Daniel.
Daniel returned to Vala's bedside and sat with Sam waiting for Vala to come back to them. Jack returned to the investigation that Teal'c and Mitchell were conducting. A lot of things seemed out of place when they found Whitted and Jack didn't seem to think Whitted was too shaken up after such and ordeal. He seemed almost cold and confident for Jack's conscious and a little to secretive about this entire mission. Jack decided he was going to get to the bottom of the real reason why this mission was sanctioned.
