"Come on! It's her body!" Jack slammed his open palm on the table.
"I'm sorry Colonel, I just....." The General was interrupted by the sound of his red phone ringing. He got up and shut the door to his office. O'Neill stood and began pacing.
"Colonel, realistically, even if we did retrieve her body it would be so degenerated by now....." Janet tried to console him.
"She's right Jack" Sam added, "Even if we did get her body back she couldn't.....live in it"
"Well what about a scarcophagus?" O'Neil demanded.
"I do not believe a sarcophagus could revive a body so long dead" Teal'c told him.
"Have you talked to Cassi about this?" Sam asked quietly. Jack was becoming more desperate by the minute, more and more determined to go back to the planet. For what, however, his friends were not sure. Sam and Daniel had the sneaking suspicion that he wanted revenge. Before any of them could comment, however, General Hammond emerged from his office.
"I just got done talking to the President" he announced slowly, "He wants you to go back to the planet.
"Yes!" Jack crowed under his breath.
"Recovering your daughter's body is your fourth priority, Colonel" Hammond warned him, "Your first priority is to destroy the breeding pool of Goa'uld larva. Your second job is to try to put Hathor out of commission. You are authorized to go after Cassi's body only if you are absolutely positive you can return to Earth without hinderance."
"Understood, sir" the Colonel answered but everybody there knew he would not be returning without it, no matter how degenerated it was.
They were ready within the hour accompanied by SG-2 and 4 again, and heavily armed. Had Cassie known they were going she would have told Jack not to bother with his daughter's body, for she had allowed herself to fade away. Grace, however, had always smiled on Cassi Carter O'Neill.
When SG-1 finally fell through the Stargate onto P-4F-7925 they were met with a very different scene than they had the first time. The buildings had all been repaired, the smoke was gone and indeed the sun had even come out to greet them. Happy looking men and women were carousing about, Jack even thought he saw a kid chasing a dog.
"Are....we on the right world?" he asked as they decendedinto the streets. People smiled at them as they passed, continuing on with their errands.
"Well. I think Hathor's made a few changes since we've been here last" Sam commented. Nobody bothered them as they made thier way to the edge of the city.
"What's happened here?" Sam asked amazedly.
"Maybe.....we should ask?" Daniel suggested. Jack shrugged and so Daniel turned around and tapped a woman on the shoulder.
"Excuse me....uh, what's happened here?" he inquired. The woman smiled kindly.
"The Goddess Hathor has brought peace to us" she answered happily, "She has brought us much happiness" She smiled brightly and continued on her merry way.
"Well," Daniel sighed, "That certainly fits all the, uh, ancient descriptions of her"
"All right....let's continue on to the...what did Hammond call it?" O'Neill asked as they continued on to the outer limits of the city, "A breeding pool?" It came into sight just as he said it. It was probably half a mile wide and oval. Jaffa were stationed at regular intervals, about ten of them, all unarmed. The Colonel motioned for the three teams to hang behind a bit. A heaqvy steam rose from the pond, but just beyond it they could make out what looked like a triangular apperature in the rock cliff surrounding three sides of the pond.
"So what's the plan?" Major Dillard asked quietly.
"We split up" Jack answered, "You take SG-4 and destroy that pond"
"Sorry, sir, but how do we do that exactly?" the Major asked.
"When we opened fire on the tub back at SGC, it erupted in flames" Carter told him.
"Right. But, just to be sure, Dr. Fraiser sent this along" Jack pulled a packet out of his vest and handed it to the Major.
"The rest of us will go...after Hathor" The Colonel added.
"How are we going to get in, sir?" Carter asked. At that moment, a splash drew their attention to the pond and Hathor herself emerged. The Jaffa converged around her and they started for the rock apperature.
"Looks like we're following the leader" Jack answered and gave the signal to move out.
