Chapter 45

At the same time with 'Team Senior'.

Alison was impressed. "These are starships, small Stargate using starships, a whole hanger full of them." Xander nodded. "The best you could do is leave it for now. If it's in this good a condition, then the natives don't know about it and you can get the whole team over here to explore it later."

"Yes, some of the equipment only answers to me and Cameron. Do you think it could be because we both have the Ancient gene?" Alison said, more to herself than to Xander.

It took all the king's men and all the king's horses to force Alison out of the fortress and back to Stargate command. Daniel grinned, she was like a younger version of Samantha. Shyer, less talkative and opinionated, but still, when she got going on her dohickies and gizmos, it was like Samantha all over again.

Days later

Xander smiled at seeing the 'Junior Team' and especially Lexa. He had been worried about her and then of course there was the missing SG-12 standing there, waiting for them.

Cameron nodded to the leader of SG-12. "We got hit by the PSI-cannon. Bad mission..."

The other leader just nodded in agreement.

Daniel ignored them as he punched in the return address and used the GDO to make sure they could return and not go splash and so, one by one they went home.

Jaina and Danni arrived almost like lightning to greet Xander, followed by Buffy who tried to hug Dawn to death. Sensing the turmoil in Lexa, Danni grabbed her and started to talk to her. Something was wrong. She had suffered a huge emotional trauma.

The mission briefing was long and complicated and some of the information Xander claimed was for Jack's eyes only, which did not go down well with the general in charge.

Yet Jedi were like that. He read the books and so he sighed and agreed.

Later in Jack's room

Xander smiled and started to explain the drug therapy he found out about.

Jack looked at the file. "So you're saying that this drug will force the worm and the human mind to merge? Who's in charge?" he asked.

"That depends on the personality and will power. It's a true merge and no longer two individuals. If one has strong enough a will, then it's his or her personality that will dominate the new person," Xander said, smiling a bit. "The Go'auld used special slaves, whose willpower had been destroyed. He specially trained them since they were five years or younger until their mind was broken and they were willing slaves. He possessed the bodies unusually early around 14 years of age, to make sure the personality would be easy to dominate."

Jack nodded. "And if this were to be given to a normal person while he was possessed?" he asked.

"Then it's worm VS human in a power struggle of the wills and in the end a new person would be born with the dominant traits of either a human or a Go'auld," Xander answered.

"And why are you giving this to me?" Jack asked with dread in his voice.

Xander was calm as he said, "Meditate on it. Feel the future, the past and think why I'm giving it to you."

Jack sighed. "I hate you," he said as he started to meditate, slowly feeling the paths of the future and the past. As he watched, he saw a future where he destroyed the drug and another where he gave it to the Tokra, even one where all SG team had gone through drug therapy in advance, making them bad targets if a Go'auld tried to posses them.

"No, not this again," he whined.

Xander nodded. "It will bring just as much advantage as dangers and your mission is to choose whether to use it or to forget it." He giggled to himself, as Jack glared at him.

A tired looking Jack sighed, as he walked out the door.

Next day

Xander was hunting down his target, General Henry Landry. He needed an answer. From what he found out, the Jaffa feared the Dagger corvette way too much and he wanted an answer. The sudden activation of the Stargate told him where he could find the elusive person.

A short moment later

Henry watched curiously as Jacob Carter of the Tokra walked in, talked to his daughter and hugged her before turning to the Jedi Jack O'Neill. The Tokra had been more than freaked out by the fact that the Force existed in the first place and they were still adapting.

Then the door opened and their guest, Jedi Master Xander, walked in. Damn, he had been trying to avoid him all morning. "Good afternoon Jedi Master," he said.

Xander shrugged and looked at what was happening downstairs before asking a question. "Why is the Dagger Corvette so feared?"

Henry laughed, that was good one. "Simple answer, we helped the Asgard against a race of machines and with their help, Earth started to build their own line of ships. We used the Dagger as the mold for how Earth ships will appear. Faster and simpler, it's a good design."

"I see. That explains so much," Xander said. "It is in fact one of the best designs for a warship. The Dagger is on the one hand a multipurpose class corvette. It is acceptable and good at many things, but doesn't excel at anything. Thanks to the lack of armor and low number of weapons and the low speed, it's considered a lousy warship at home."

Henry looked at him. "Really?" he asked. Xander nodded. "Really, war-corvettes usually have a lot more weapons and higher speed. The only grace the Dagger has as a warship is the fact that it's a good fighter carrier. It can have up to 23 star fighters inside, even more, but that wouldn't be practical."

Henry wasn't that surprised. "We did some changes on our war-class daggers. More armor, more weapons and more speed. They have your type of hyperdrive, one we understand and know how to repair and build, as well as the Asgardian hyperdrive, which we have to buy. It's capable of flying from one galaxy to another. Our war-daggers have proven themselves to be superior in space combat. Thanks to the Asgard, we've been able to copy and make more powerful turbolasers."

Xander was impressed. Those Asgardian hyperdrives seemed to enter deeper into hyperspace. "The Asgard are good at building hyperdrives?" he asked. Seeing the general nod and say yes, he continued. "Would it be possible for me to talk to an Asgard?" he asked, almost drooling. He had a PLAN.

Henry frowned and then nodded. "There is one helping us at the yard. If you wish, I can arrange for you to talk to him."

Xander's smile was evil, totally evil. "Yes do that," he said. 'Finally Han Solo, your Falcon is dust behind the Enterprise,' he thought. Now he was going to see Lexa, she needed her family. With that he walked away, absently scratching his gills and freaking out some of the personal. They just weren't used to seeing humans with gills, what wimps.

Down on the floor near the Stargate, Jack was talking to his favorite Tokra, Jacob Carter, and his least favorite, Anis.

With his Jedi power growing stronger, he could feel the mental difference between the Goa'uld and the Tokra. The Goa'uld were evil egocentrically assholes. The Tokra were annoying, condescending and caring. Most of them actually cared deeply for their host.

He'd really disliked Anis before, but now he knew she cared. She believed that the human race was moving too fast and would destroy itself. So she did what she felt she had to, to slow them down. Still, she WAS annoying.

After Samantha and Jacob had welcomed each other and hugged and talked a bit, they walked over to his Jedi-cave.

The soldiers on the base had given the place that name. If the Dark Knight Batman had one in the comics, so why not a Jedi Knight? He loved the name.

The Jedi-cave was a former storage room Jack used as a training room for lightsabers, meditation and relaxation. Jonathan and Teal'c were often found in here. He also had a work bench where he repaired his blade and training robots. Oh all right, his wife Samantha actually did that.

Last was the Jedi computer with a copy of most of Xander's training manual down loaded on it.

After sitting down on a pair of comfortable sofas Jacob said with a smile. "So this is the famous Jedi Cave. I expected more secret Jedi fighting equipment."

Jack rolled his eyes "I'm working on it. At least I have trophies," he said, pointing at his trophy wall, where broken Jaffa and Goa'uld weapons were hanging.

"I do not understand, nor do I care about this. You said you wanted to talk, now what is it?" Anis said.

After reading the information Xander had given him, it had struck him that Anis the Tokra was actually male, as only queens were female and they are rare.

"Oh yes, thank you for reminding me. Xander, my Jedi Master, dropped by on their cross dimensional journey and yes, they brought human usable and created toys. He decided to go on a mission and brought back some interesting finds," Jack said, before showing them the drug and explaining about it.

The Tokra were silent. It would turn them into true symbiotes.

Last he showed them the gender bender modulation technique the Goa'uld had made. "You have no queens and this would give one of you the ability to give birth to baby worms. The down side is that after one or two births, the Tokra who uses it becomes sterile, permanently unable to make babies."

"What do you want for this information?" Anis said.

Jack's smile was not that evil, infact it was friendly. "Education. We find fifty young brilliant geniuses and you educate them in technology for a period of fifteen years."

Jack and Anis looked at each other and after a while she said, "We have to talk to high command about this."

Jack nodded. "One thing, I talked to the guys in charge. Any new human bodies from Earth will go through the drug therapy before you take his or her body as one of yours."

The two Tokra nodded and Jacob spoke up, his eyes glowing, showing that Selmac was in control. "High command might choose to not to use Earth bodies any longer. The gender bender device is something they would do anything for. Your wish will be granted." The former General, now Tokra shivered as if the two were fighting to gain control

"If it's safe for humans, I wish that Jacob and I go through the drug therapy as fast as you can create the drug," Selmac said, then Jacob broke the control and said, "NO Selmac, you do not know what could happen. With you or with me," he said.

Selmac and Jacob fell silent and an inner argument started as they fought over the idea. You could see his facial expression change. Every now and then one of them would become upset and argue out aloud.

Jack leaned over to Samantha and whispered, "That's creepy, he is arguing with himself. I know its two beings inside, but it's still creepy."

Samantha, even Anis agreed. "Most find it disconcerting when somebody argues with an invisible personality. Even among the Goa'uld and the Tokra it's disconcerting. Mostly, if the host and the symbiote are arguing, the two walk into a private room and stay there."

Suddenly Jacob smashed his hand on the table. "Fine, I'll do it. Just remember, if this goes wrong, it's your own fault Selmac," he said, angry.

Selmac slowly asked for control and go it. "I'm sorry. If this drug therapy is everything it claims to be, it would be great, but the others need a chance to see the effect it has. This is what the Tokra have searched for. Jacob is afraid that I could be hurt."

Then Jacob was back and snorted. "Selmac can be a pain in my butt sometimes. No, do not argue about that. You are a pain in my butt," he said to himself. "I don't like this. We should capture a Goa'uld and test it on them first."

Jack shrugged. "We can do that."

"We don't have the time. We have to test it ourself and show the others a good example or that's what Selmac says," Jacob replied.

"We have to return. No, I have to return. Jacob will stay. His and Selmac's minds are made up. It's rare for Selmac to be so aggressive in his personal wishes. I agree with Jacob on this. Selmac should wait and not jump into this experimental drug therapy," Anis said.

Jack looked at her and said, "Not experimental, a Goa'uld has used it for years. First he destroyed the will power of his bodies with brainwashing from the time they were five or younger, until they were mature enough for him to take over. It combined the Goa'uld superior memory and analytic ability with the chosen humans' superior creativity and innovative talents. Those were the worms own words, by the way."

The Tokra nodded. Humans were not as good as they were with memory and while it hurt her to agree on this, she did think humans where remarkably creative compared to them. Thanks to the fact that they worked with, not against their human bodies, the Tokra had more innovative creativity than the Goa'uld, who acted like scavengers and were more copying than creating their own technology. "Selmac, are you sure? This could be dangerous to you and Jacob," she said.

Selmac spoke again. "I am sure. Anis, I am old, even among our race I'm old and dying. Twenty years left if I'm lucky, eleven if I'm realistic, and then I will fade away and most likely take Jacob with me. That is nothing he or I would like to see. This drug promises that an old Goa'uld might bond with a human and survive his own death by permanently becoming part of the human," he said calmly and in a tired voice. If this drug would make sure they would become one like their queen had dreamed of, then he would do it.
