Chapter 21
In preparation for the Prometheus raid SG-1 needed to secure a Kull Warrior suit and Zat gun for Vala to use. Finding a Super Solider suit would be difficult for that would require stealing one from Anubis. Luckily they had a Goa'uld to draw on for information at hand.
Movie night rolled on as Jaws played in the mess hall. Livy's plan to scare Qetesh with a frightening movie backfired for now she was rather disturbed and Qetesh found the movie hilarious. The Goa'uld found herself rooting for the shark as it attacked the characters in the movie.
Livy accused, "You like horror movies!"
"This is hilarious," Qetesh smiled. "Who would have thought your species would have good entertainment. How many of your kind were sacrificed to this shark in this movie?"
Jack heard the conversation as he sat nearby eating popcorn. He told her, "No one was! The shark is fake and the actors were not harmed. The blood is fake! It's all fake. That's why it's called a movie."
Qetesh paused and asked, "You mean the shark is not actually consuming the Tau'ri?"
"Nope," he smirked back at her.
Qetesh sighed rather sad, "You absolutely ruined it for me."
Livy told her, "You are sick, Qetesh."
"I feel well," she rebutted.
"Not in the head," Livy rebutted.
The movie soon ended with the shark being blown up by the protagonist. Qetesh sighed, "That poor shark. He was just doing what sharks do."
"It's fake," Jack reminded her.
Qetesh licked the salty, buttery flavors off her fingers from the popcorn. She had to admit Earth had some good snacks. "Is there another Tau'ri eating shark movie to watch?" she wondered.
Daniel sighed, "Matter of fact they made a few sequels."
"Oh' good," the Goa'uld smiled pleased. "Put the next one in the player."
"I've had enough monsters for today," Daniel rebutted. He rose from the chair with Vala near his side.
Vala admitted, "Remind me not to eat before watching another shark movie."
"I will," he promised.
The lights came back up and crew began to filter out of the mess hall. Jack mentioned, "We need to find a Kull Warrior suit. You have any ideas where we can get one, Qetesh?"
"Anubis," she bluntly replied.
"We kind of figured that," he told her.
Sam added as she pushed in her chair, "We also need a Goa'uld mothership."
Livy told her, "We have one. Qetesh's ship! What's a Kull Warrior?" she wondered. She grabbed the nearby walker and steadied it before herself.
Sam explained, "Anubis soldiers."
"Oh," she nodded.
Qetesh warned, "The Kull Warriors are genetically engineered. Anubis has been steadily gaining in power. Soon, he will rule over all the Goa'uld. I do not know how he gained such power. My sources told me he had died and then returned."
Daniel informed, "He's half Ascended."
"Like what you were?" Livy asked. Slowly she and Qetesh moved the walker as they shifted across the floor.
Daniel nodded, "Yup."
Qetesh stopped and asked, "What is this Ascended you speak of?"
"It's when you ascend to higher form of existence." he explained. "You leave your physical body behind and exist as pure energy."
"Sounds horrid," Qetesh stated. "I can't imagine not feeling the flesh of another body."
Daniel rebutted, "The whole idea is to expand your mind and evolve into something better."
The Goa'uld muttered, "Sounds idiotic."
"I don't think it sounds idiotic," Livy countered. "It sounds very spiritual."
"Kind of," he shrugged.
Vala added, "There is more to life than having sex using other beings' bodies just so you can feel pleasure, Qetesh."
"Right now I can only feel half of this body," the Goa'uld retorted.
Livy told her, "You will feel the rest of it when I yank you out of my head and beat you to a pulp."
"I hope a shark eats you," the Goa'uld barked.
"I hope you are with me when it happens." she snorted.
Qetesh let the insult go and stated, "To get a Kull Warrior suit you will have to infiltrate Anubis's fleet. Your only hope of doing so is with the time dilation field. Once inside we can move about undetected but you must have control over the field, host."
Sam muttered, "I knew she enacted a time dilation field."
Livy admitted, "I get mad and it just happens. Needless to say, Qetesh has a way of pissing me off."
"You do need better control over that," Jack agreed.
Qetesh stated with glee, "See, even your father agrees with me!"
Jack winced, "Not normally."
Livy started to walk, "Even a broken clock can be right once in a while."
Qetesh asked, "What do clocks have to do with any of it?"
"It's an expression," Livy sighed.
As they walked Jack figured, "Ya know what would really piss a Goa'uld off?"
Qetesh snorted, "Losing everything I worked so hard for."
He smirked, "Nope…Disneyworld."
Daniel grinned, "On a day filled with small kids."
Teal'c added, "In the summer."
Sam cheered, "With a host who wants to go on every ride." She placed her arm around Jack's middle and looked up at him amused.
"Take a Goa'uld to Disneyworld?" he smiled at her.
Vala asked excited, "What's Disneyworld? That sounds like fun."
Livy replied, "An amusement park with lots of rides."
"I want to go," she sounded.
Jack then spoke to Qetesh, "With two hosts that you took against their will."
"I'm a Goa'uld," she rebutted. "That is what my kind does."
"Really?" huffed Sam. "Then explain the Tok'ra."
"Traitors!" she insisted.
Sam grew angry and stated, "Once Livy gets you out of her head; I will help her feed you to a shark."
Jack added, "Now that I want to see."
Few Days Later
Livy and Qetesh had gained the ability to walk independently of the walker but could not run or jog. Speed would not be on their side and they were forced to move at a snail's pace.
Jack had identified a target, they found an engine signature of a troop ship that belonged to Anubis and followed it. The plan was hatched: Livy with Qetesh would get onboard the ship posing as the Goa'uld queen. Once onboard a time dilation field would be established. Sam would in turn place the Odyssey in another time dilation field that was synced to the field inside the troop ship and they would then beam over and gain what they needed.
The plan was executed without a hitch. SG-1 found themselves standing inside the belly of a troop ship filled with Kull Warriors in stasis pods. A few were of the warriors were frozen like statues while on patrol.
Livy and Qetesh stood in the hallway of the vessel in a golden robe as they waited for SG-1 and Vala to beam onboard. Upon materialization Livy warned them, "I have no idea how long this will hold. It could be hours or as little as five minutes."
Jack told her, "We will be out of here in four." He went right into warrior mode himself. He looked at Livy, "Qetesh…where is the supply room on something like this?"
"This way," the Goa'uld stated. She led them down a few levels to a cargo hold. She admitted as she assisted, "Had I been able to control time dilation fields at will I would have been unstoppable. I would have defeated Anubis with ease and ruled the galaxy."
Daniel popped her dream and reminded her, "Anubis would know how to counter it since he's half ascended."
"It would still be an advantage," she insisted though she knew Daniel was right.
Sam had found an access panel to the ship's computer system. She hooked up her laptop to the panel and started an analysis. "Hmm," she gave a funny look.
Jack asked, "What?"
"Remember when we took down Anubis's mothership and Replicators under his control also went down."
"Yeah," he nodded.
"The programming wouldn't allow that to happen. The Replicators would continue under these commands. There's a Replicator directive to continue even if Anubis goes down." she informed.
"Can you fix it?" he asked.
"Sure," she typed in a delete command. She then cocked an eyebrow, "We made that happen. We made the Replicators go down with Anubis." She then unhooked the laptop and closed the access panel. She pondered, "I wonder what else we affected and didn't know."
Jack shrugged, "Only time will tell." He looked at his watched, "We're losing time."
Soon they acquired the Kull Warrior suit and a Zat gun. They then beamed back to the Odyssey as the time bubble collapsed. In no time the troop ship had locked weapons onto the perceived pirate ship. A firefight soon followed as Colonel Mitchell maneuvered the Odyssey into a retreat. They endured more damage to the ship in the hasty battle. It was soon apparent that they were on their own for the next two years as they could not interact with their younger selves.
