She stood to the side as the Stargate dialled after several attempts the seventh chevron refused to engage, leaving them with a busy signal. "Something must be wrong" Hannah said, she moved to the DHD and pulled a knife out ready to pull it apart. Malek stopped her.

"You can't possibly understand the DHD components you'll damage it and then we will all be stranded" Malek said "We need the Stargate to be functional"

"Have you tried other addresses?"

"Yes they all worked"

"How many?"

"Does it matter?"

"Humour me"

"20 addresses" Malek said

"Which is only a fraction of the phonebook" Hannah said, she folded her knife "Ok fine I won't fiddle with the DHD…Who's the go to guy for Stargates in the tok'ra?"

"Go to guy?"

"The person who fixes all your Stargate issues and work-a-rounds" Hannah stated, Malek looked at her blankly.

"We do not have a 'go to guy' we all retain the knowledge we have learned over the centuries" Malek told her.

Hannah sighed and ran a hand through her hair "Right… so you know nothing… great…just great" Hannah said stepping back.

3 weeks went by and they were still unsuccessful, Hannah paced back and forth in her room. She had thought of several scenarios where something could have gone wrong. Goa'uld attack was dismissed due to the fact that the Tok'ra would have heard something. Replicators was another idea but that wouldn't stop them from being able to dial in which left the other options of maybe a malfunction in the Stargate or solar flares or black holes in the path between this planet and Earth preventing a lock. Hannah had asked to pulled apart the DHD and look around the systems to see if maybe there was a malfunction on their end. But the Tok'ra had denied her.

Probably out of the fear she'd break it. "You said the Stargate could dial other planets say if my hypothesis about a black hole or a solar flare is true then I can gate to a different planet and then dial Earth" Hannah told Malek he was her 'chaperone' she wondered what age did people stop having a chaperone.

Malek nodded in thought, this was this wasn't the first time she had told him this theory. She hoped he'd just cave after at least 2 weeks of her going on and on about hypothesises of planetary movement, wormhole theories and random reasons why a Stargate would not be able to dial. Sadly Janus's memories and knowledge only got her so far.

Jacob came by to take over, it was him and Malek none of the other Tok'ra spoke to her. Hannah assumed it was out of distrust more than fear. Anise had tried to talk to her about Martouf and the workings of Tok'ra physiology and her research into Za'tarcs but it was lost on Hannah, she understood the principles but her heart wasn't in it . She wanted to go home. She missed O'Neill, Sam, Teal'c , Daniel and Jason.

After she had refused to blend with a Tok'ra symbiote it was now more obvious that most of the Tok'ra shared the belief she could not be trusted and should be eliminated. She had never appreciated being around people who accepted her and actually trusted her and wanted her to be around until now. It made her feel even more homesick, at least Jacob treated her like family, he was training her in Tok'ra fighting techniques as well as sharing stories of Sam when she was younger.

But soon Jacob was relegated to some top secret mission leaving her with just Malek, she was soon restricted to her guest room with a guard. Hannah sat on the bed not sure of what was happening and no one talked to her, food came in noting the time of day.

"You know for people who live without doors you sure know how to make a girl feel like a prisoner" Hannah said as she drank her water, the guard said nothing. Hannah stood up and her head swooned "Oh whoa" she placed a hand on the wall to steady herself. "What did you do to me?" Hannah asked she blinked slowly feeling her world slowly shut down on her. She fell to the floor and closed her eyes.

"Take her to the labs" Anise ordered.

"Yes, sir" the Guard said he picked Hannah's unconscious form off the floor

"How long do you think it will take?" Garshaw asked

"We won't know until she is in the tank, Grand councillor" Anise answered

"Hannah"

Hannah rolled over as the light hit her face "ten more minutes" she moaned covering her face with her arms.

"Hannah"

Hannah felt someone shake her shoulder she turn over and opened her eyes. She was in her room back on Earth but it was fuzzy, a woman Hannah had never seen before sat on the edge of her bed white light swirled around her like wisps of smoke drifting through the air making her glow and seem ethereal.

"Who are you?" Hannah demanded sitting up in bed.

"That does not matter, you need to listen to me" the woman told her,

"You're glowing" Hannah stated feeling off kilter, the woman grabbed her left hand and gripped her wrist hard.

"Hannah focus you… this is not your path… You need to wake up" she told Hannah.

"I'm awake" Hannah said confused she pulled on her wrist but the grip became bruising.

"This is an illusion, when you wake up you must escape" She told her. The woman looked behind her and water started to seep into the room from everywhere, the woman faced Hannah and grabbed her face "You must wake up NOW!"

Hannah snapped awake and found herself completely submerged, she choked on the water as she pulled the air tubes from her lungs. She turned her attention to escaping the tank and punched on the glass tank she seemed to be in. She kept her mouth closed and fought the urge to breathe in the water. She continued to smack on the glass trying not to panic.

"The subject is resisting the treatment" Hannah heard the female Tok'ra said to her male counterpart, it was muffled slightly through the water but she still could hear it.

"How is this happening she is supposed to be heavily sedated" the male Tok'ra they seemed to be punching buttons on a console in front of the tank.

Hannah propped her feet against one wall and her back against the other and pushed with all her might, she could feel her lungs about to burst from the exertion. She began to kick the glass with what strength she had, she saw the glass beginning to splinter. The splinters began to crack and the glass shattered.

Hannah felt the water drain from the tank all over the floor around her as she slid to the ground. She coughed up water as she pull tubes from her body. Hannah picked herself off the floor she felt disorientated.

She ran at the first Tok'ra crash tackling her to the floor, Hannah crawled off of her and right hooked the woman in the face hard stunning the Tok'ra momentarily. Hannah didn't hesitate before pulling the Zat gun off the woman and shooting the other Tok'ra to the ground. Hannah jumped to her feet and held the gun at the other Tok'ra

"Hannah just relax" she spoke to her in docile tones

"Don't tell me to relax… I don't even know you" Hannah said in a warning tone.

"We are friends you were sick we were trying to heal you"

"Heal me?" Hannah asked she shook her head as her limbs began to shake "Get out of your clothes and explain how you know my name when I have never met you before"

The Tok'ra stripped out of her uniform and threw it to the ground piece by piece "You met me 4 weeks ago with Dr Jackson… you fell ill from a mind fever we had to submerge you in the ice tank to control your temperature" she explained

"Somehow I just don't believe you" Hannah said she shot the Tok'ra and she fell to the ground unconscious. Hannah quickly changed and turned to the console and turned it on reading the screen. Tears of anger ran down her face she pressed the panel for the memory crystals.

The tray slid out and Hannah smashed the crystals then blasted the console with the Zat a few times hopefully destroying anything that was left untouched before she left the room.

"What do you mean you lost her?" Garshaw asked, she was angry they were so close to finishing and the clone had to wake up.

"She is still on the base" the Tok'ra operative told her, Garshaw smacked her palm down on the table in anger.

"How did this happen?" she demanded hotly "I thought we were nearly done"

"The clone was supposed to stay under sedation as we proceeded with the memory erasure" the Tok'ra operative told Garshaw, he paused "I do not know what happened it has taken us months to isolate the memory emgram sequences relating to the Tok'ra but before we could start the procedure she woke up and was able to break free of the tank"

"Alert the whole base I want her found" Garshaw ordered "We can't have her returning to the Tauri with her memory intact… I want her alive"

"Understood"

Hannah ran down the hallway looking for an exit, she slowed when she heard footfalls and ducked into an empty room. She watched as Tok'ra troops ran past the room, she didn't know what was going on the last thing she remembered was Jacob leaving for a mission the rest was a blank. She would kick herself later she told herself first rule of action was to get off this base and back to Earth.

The hallway was silent Hannah slipped out of the empty room and headed to what she hoped was the rings room, she was assuming the layout of this base was the same she had toured when she first came here. They really need to put up signs in here Hannah inwardly groaned starting to feel like a trapped rat. Her legs felt weak like they hadn't been used in awhile, she needed to rest but now was not the time. Just like thinking about what they were really trying to do to her.

A couple of hours later, Hannah was still running from patrols and trying to escape the tunnels. She turned a corner and heard a familiar sound, Rings… Hannah thought with a smile , she peeked down the corridor and saw two guards and a patrol unit of four more operatives. All she had on her side was the element of surprise.

Hannah took a deep breath and tidied her hair tucking it into her collar and squared her shoulders it was either now or never. She turned and shot off her zat gun, two guards went down whilst the others fired their weapons Hannah didn't have time to waste she ran down the hallway weaving from side to side avoiding zat blasts whilst firing she managed to take down the last of the patrol unit but that left the two guards and of course back up that would have been dispatched.

Hannah reached for the first guard and pulled him around using him as a shield from the other guards Zat blast. She dropped his body just as the blast hit, she jump kicked the zat gun out of the last remaining guard. Followed by a well placed right hook, Hannah swung around and elbowed the guard in the face. He staggered before going in for his pound of flesh. He caught Hannah's punch and struck her across the face, Hannah groaned as he connected a knee up into her stomach. She fell the floor and coughed blood onto the floor "Son of a-ugh" Hannah groaned as he kicked her again. He pulled her off the floor and rammed her into the wall, she reflexively put her hands out to stop herself. It did little as Hannah cried out in pain as she felt the crack of bones in her right hand.

He pulled her off the wall to slam her again but Hannah took the opportunity and ran her feet up the wall and pushed hard propelling her and the Tok'ra guard back on the ground. She elbowed him in the gut before she rolled off of him, she spotted the Zat across the room and jumped to her feet she was two steps away when the guard tripped her up. She fell to the floor and grasped for the gun it was just in her reach.

The Tok'ra guard pulled on her legs, she kicked and screamed as her fingertips grazed the handle she pulled herself toward it and reached for it again. this time she had it, she gripped the Zat and turned and blasted the Tok'ra he fell right on top of her in a heavy heap.

Hannah breathed a sigh of relief and pushed him off, she stifled the scream of pain she wanted to make as her right hand refused the load. "Damn it" she cursed tears rolled down her face. she got to her feet and pushed the Tok'ra out of the way and turned to the key panel and punched in a code she'd seen before. She stepped back and held her right hand to her chest and the Zat in her left hand ready to go, the rings came down and transported her to the surface.
