Half an hour later Jonas and Teal'c went to talk to Bra'tac while Daniel went to the Hall of Wisdom to talk to the Asgard to let them know what was going on and what Ba'al had done. He ended up telling them about Sam's dreams and they understood. Jack and Sam went to see the Tok'ra. They walked through the gate and down the steps on the Tok'ra's latest home planet.
"Why is it that the Tok'ra love sandy planets?" they walked around some sand dunes.
"Well, for one the wind can cover their tracks and when they have to move when the tunnels collapse so does the sand."
"Ah, ok but still?" then ten Tok'ra appeared from out of the sand.
"Hi guys, we need to speak to Jacob, host to Selmac. It's very important." the Tok'ra nodded.
"This way"
They followed one of the Tok'ra until he stopped; they stopped in front of him and the rings activated and they were in the tunnels. Then they walked down to where the chambers were. They both smiled when they saw Jacob. He turned around and smiled as they walked into the room and saw that the Council was there.
"Jack, Sam; what are you two doing here."
"Hi Dad, good to see you too" Jack said.
"We would like to know if you have any Tok'ra in Ba'al's ranks."
"Ba'al is dead." Garshaw said.
"Well, apparently not; he has cloned himself" Jack said and they were all shocked.
"What? But how?" Jacob asked.
Sam explained everything to Jacob and the Council and ten minutes later, when she finished, they were still in shock.
"What about the Asgard? Do they know about this?"
"Daniel is talking to them and letting them know what's going on" Sam said.
"Teal'c and Jonas have gone to speak to Bra'tac. Perhaps there are some Jaffa in Ba'al's ranks that he knows and trusts. They could send a message and find out what Ba'al has been up to." Jack said.
"Thank you for bringing us with this information" Garshaw said.
"No problem; we will keep you guys up to date and you keep us informed as well" they all nodded in agreement.
"We better head back and find out what the others have found out."
"I'll take you two back to the rings" Jacob said and then they left the chamber and walked to the rings.
"Thanks for letting us know about Ba'al."
"That's ok dad, at least I got a chance to see you" they put their arms around each other as they walked to where the rings were.
"You sure are full of surprises Sam."
"I know" she replied, as they reached the rings.
"I'm hoping that we will see each other before Thanksgiving."
"I hope so too Dad" and they hugged.
"Well I better go; I've got a mission to go on. I will talk to you guys later."
"Ok Dad, be careful."
"I will."
Then Jack and Sam stood together as Jacob pushed the buttons for the rings to activate; they gave a quick wave before the rings transported them to the surface and then they headed to the gate and home.
An hour later there was another briefing to find out if there was any more information from the others. Bra'tac was shocked about the news about Ba'al and he would inform their Jaffa brothers and find out any information he could.
The Asgard High Council was also concerned about the news that a Goa'uld had cloned himself and they would send messages to other Asgard about Ba'al about what he had done. They were also to keep a look out for any of his ships and also check any planet that he ruled and try to find out if there were any labs on the planets. Half an hour later they were dismissed until they had received word from any of their allies.
