Taking a moment before she answered Marya took a long look at all the men's faces in the room then she replied. "Well, as I said I don't care about the laboratory. All I want is the scientist Herr Burch to take him back to Mother Russia," she answered with her cool exterior firmly back in place.

"You can have him...after we destroy the lab. He's no use to us. I'm warning you though if you get in my way this week, I'll have you tied up and gagged until this is over." Hogan wanted to give her no room to cause trouble.

"I believe you," she answered shaking her head. The men left her alone in Klink's quarters with Hogan promising LeBeau would be cooking dinner that evening. Marya sat back in a bit of shock; she'd have to rethink her strategy.

After they were safely down inside the tunnel with the entrance secured, Kinch spoke up. "Sir, you can't let her have this Seth character if what Colonel O'Neill says is true, he'd just start up his process there."

"I never promised her that he'd be alive," Hogan had a devilish smile on his face.

"Your sneakiness is inspiring Gov'nor," Newkirk replied with a huge grin of his own.

"We may have some trouble there," O'Neill said wishing he could just kill Seth and have it be over with, but the damn timeline had to be preserved to many changes he couldn't allow.

Hogan stopped in his tracks and shot O'Neill a look, "You can't be serious? We have to wait?" He couldn't say all the words he was thinking. Keeping the timeline pure was getting to be a pain in the ass; it was something Hogan never had to consider before.

"Yeah, not that I like the idea anymore than you do," O'Neill replied equally disappointed about having to leave Seth alive.

Hogan pinched the bridge of his nose, "This just keeps getting better and better. I need to go over to Klink's office for a visit. We'll need to talk more later," O'Neill agreed with him and Hogan went topside.

O'Neill walked around the tunnels looking for Sam; he found her and Tiger in Carter's lab making up some explosives for use on the lab. He filled the ladies in on the arrival of the General and Marya, and their conversation. So far she'd agreed to cooperate and most likely would.

When Sam heard the name she asked, "Marya, as in the scar above your right kidney Marya?"

"Yeah, that Marya," O'Neill replied sourly. Sam was fuming; Jack had told the team the story one night when they were off world and comparing scars around a campfire. She had a few thoughts of her own for that particular Russian agent, but those she'd keep to herself for the time being.

"I have heard Rob speak of her, he's not sure exactly whose side she's on. I know he does not trust her completely. If she's trouble, I will take care of her," Tiger declared concerned for the team. It was apparent to Sam and Jack that Tiger would have no problems dealing with the Russian if she made waves.

"Hopefully, she's on the level and working with us this time," O'Neill answered glad Tiger had taken a liking to him and Sam. "Sam, have you given anymore thought on our return home?"

"Yes sir, I have," Sam replied and excused herself from Tiger so they could find a place to talk in private. "Can you tell me what you found out there?"

Jack explained the caves they went through, and how none of them were large enough to hold a Stargate. His inspection of the trees in the area showed no damage, and no burn marks that the vortex of a wormhole would create. To the naked eye, there was nothing within a one-klick area of their rendezvous site, which gave him no any indication how they were going to get home. Although he felt that he was hampered by the darkness and limited use of his flashlight, and he wanted to know if she had any theories.

Sam reminded him that she did have some gear with her that could detect anomalous energy readings. She said that it would be better for her to check the area during daylight, if they could figure out a way to avoid being captured. With the size of the area, she'd need to check, it would take at least couple of hours to completely cover the vicinity, and no telling how much time if she located an energy source that needed to be evacuated before she could examine it.

Jack said he'd talk to Hogan as soon as he got back from the Kommandant's office and figure out a way to get her out there. During that talk, he'd also go over the plan for infecting Hogan's team with the Nish'ta, and promised to convince Hogan to agree to it. He didn't tell her that he thought it might be the only way to change the past. On many jobs, he'd held secrets from his team, but this one was so critical it concerned him. He could use some help, but knew it was up to him alone. If he told Hogan what was to happen then it would be too distracting, and that by it self would be dangerous. No, O'Neill had to do this alone no matter what the cost to himself.

Sam needed to get back to help Tiger with the explosives, so O'Neill dismissed her. He walked around the tunnels checking them out. The team here had done excellent work, and he was amazed at their craftiness and abilities. Jack was near the entrance to the emergency tunnel when he heard someone coming down the ladder. He didn't think anyone was outside the wire, but not knowing all the inner workings of Hogan's group it didn't surprise him too much someone might be out there. O'Neill decided to walk down to the entrance, and see who had come into the tunnel. As he rounded the corner, Jack got the surprise of his life. Standing in front of him was a very Aryan looking Gestapo officer with his gun drawn on O'Neill.

"Halt!" The man demanded with a look of no-nonsense.

How did the Gestapo find them? How was he going to take this man down? O'Neill thought as he raised his hands. How many others were there topside?
