Whadya mean my pass has been revoked for the week?! Cassi raged at the guard. He flinched, not being used to her mental rantings.
"Uh, here Cass," Daniel was fishing around in his pockets, "You can go to my apartment. I'm sure you can find something there to do"
"That's an understatement" Sam muttered. Cassi took the keys with an annoyed kind of sigh and headed back to her father's SUV. Sam and Jack grimaced at each other as words like "ridiculous," "unfair", and "completely nonsensical" kept filltering through their heads as she drove away.
"Well, she didn't like that" Daniel commented as they continued down into the Mountain. The General met them at the elevator and started explaining the day's mission.
"Your mission is only preliminary recon. Do not, I repeat, do not make any sort of move against any enemy you may find there" he told them as they began gearing up.
"Dr. Fraiser needs blood samples from various subjects, that is your primary objective" he finished.
"How exactly are we supposed to do that?" Sam asked.
"That's why you're in the field, Major, not me" Hammond replied.
"It would be so much easier if we had Cass" Daniel said under his breath.
"Unfortunately, we can't risk her life for that" the General said unkindly. They all took it with a grain of salt; this mission had them all on edge.
"The second part of your mission is to evaluate the situation" the General continued, "If possible, validate the identification SG-6 made" They all headed for the Gate, hoping SG-6 had been wrong. Hammond wished them luck and they went through the wormhole. They immerged in the middle of a city, in the Center Square according to SG-6, but nobody seemed to notice or care. There were people, garbed in Dark Ages type of clothing, running everywhere. There were people screaming and the smell of smoke was heavy in the air.
"Move out!" the Colonel ordered and SG-1 decended into the chaotic streets. They stopped a woman who was hurrying away with a basket of food.
"What's going on?" Carter asked.
"The Queen of Gods is gathering a herd! Those she takes are tormented and those who do not hide are killed!" the woman answered and resumed her panicked flee.
"Sounds like her alright" Sam quipped.
"With everyone running around like this, I don't think it will be hard to find some blood" Daniel commented as two men crashed into each other in front of them.
"Right" the Colonel replied and they began moving down the street. People churned around them and buildings burned beyond them. Everything was in chaos and SG-1 had a pretty good idea why. There were large pyrimidical buildings in the distance, which everyone was running away from. SG-1 headed straight for it. The closer they got, the more desperate the people were. Men and women were openly fighting in the avenues, looting deserted sales carts and shops and even some houses. The smoke was thickening, gathering in clouds above them, black and ominous as the sky of Hades.
"Colonel!" Teal'c called from the back of the group. Jack stopped jogging and looked to his right. An unconscience man lay in the middle of a dead end alley.
"Think he'll mind if we take some blood?" Sam asked, pulling the tube Janet had given her out.
"Would you like to ask him?" Jack quipped. Sam knelt and took the blood sample they needed.
"Thanks buddy. We still need at least two more samples" she told them as she put the now full tube away.
"We also have to find out if it is really the Goa'uld" Teal'c added. They started moving again, but suddenly it seemed every human in a ten mile radius was in that one street, screaming and running toward the edges of town. SG-1 ducked back into the alley, pulling their guns out and ready to defend themselves. They watched as the frightened people stampeded by, until there were no more. Then they heard the pounding of armoured feet growing closer and closer. Jack and Sam drew deep breaths to steel themselves. Together, they peeked around the corner. An army of armed and armoured Jaffa was stomping their way toward them. In the front, graceful as ever, was a red haired nightmare from the past.
"My gawd" Sam whispered, "It's not Nerati at all" Daniel and Teal'c leaned around for a look too. Jack drew back to the alley.
"It's Hathor"
