SG-1 followed quietly behind the noisy Jaffa. These Jaffa were probably originals, according to Teal'c, for they bore no symbol on their forehead. They ddi not wear the armor of any sort that they had previously seen, but it was just as noisy. The cooridor, which seemed to be cut right out of the cliff, was lit by torches every few feet. The ground started to slpe upwards, indicating they were getting close to the pyrimid. The team hung back in the shadows, just keeping Hathor and her guard in view, so they had plenty of warning before they reached the enterance to the fortress. Jack signaled for the team to stop just inside the tunnel. Hathor and her guards had passed through the first chamber, but he was taking no chances.
"Now what?" Daniel whispered.
"Now we find Cassi" Jack replied.
"What of Hathor?" Teal'c asked.
"She's going to tell us where she is" Jack answered and moved into the chamber. Sam and Daniel exchanged a look and followed. The first chamber was empty. They moved on into a cooridor. The pounding of Jaffa was fading to the left, so tht was the way the Colonel led them. They passed some women, dressed in cerimonial garb but they only smiled at the strangers and kept moving. There weren't any guards or Jaffa to be seen. By the sound of it, however, SG-1 was catching up with the "Goddess". They slowed down as they rounded a corner and just caught sight of the enemy entourage entering a room to the right. O'Neill signaled for them to move in.
"Wait, Colonel!" Carter objected, "This is insane! Even if we manage to take out the Jaffa in there, what's to keep the other Jaffa from coming up behind us?"
"You're right" The Colonel answered, but somehow that didn't comfort Sam.
"We need a destraction! Major Dillard! Report!"
"We were just about to open fire sir! Should we hold off?" the Major asked over his com.
"Negative, Major! Continue as planned!" The Colonel answered. SG-1 moved behind a series of pillars. They could hear the gunfire, but within a few moments they saw the reaction. Jaffa went pounding by and they heard a door open and voices speaking.
"The Goddess orders us to the Sacred Pool"
"Should not we stay to protect her?"
"Cali and B'ruch will stay. The rest of us will go" More Jaffa pounded by.
"Major Dillard! Get yourself to the Gate, now!" O'Neill ordered quietlly into his com.
"Sir, what about you, sir?" the Major came back.
"Never mind us, just get yourselves back to Earth! That's an order, Major!"
"Yes, sir!" Dillard responded. With any luck, SG's 2 and 4 would be back home in 10 minutes.
"All right" Jack ordered when the last of the Jaffa had passed, "Let's go!" Daniel and Sam took up positions behind the Colonel and Teal'c. The door slid open and they moved in. The two guards were down before Hathor could even turn around. Teal'c closed and jammed the door.
"We knew you would come" she said haughtily.
"Yeah, well so did I" Jack answered.
"You have come for the child" Hathor replied.
"You.......have her?" Daniel asked amazedly.
"I have her shell" Hathor told him. She moved to her left and they saw a sarcophagus layed out behind her. It opened slowly and Sam moved to it's side. She peeked in and saw her daughter's face. She choked back a gasp and reached down.
"She has a pulse, Jack!" she announced.
"Her shell still operates" Hathor told them, "but there is nothing it it"
"Why have you done this?" Daniel asked. Hathor started moving to her left more. Jack was suspicious, but he already had his gun on her.
"We wished to learn her secrets" Hathor replied.
"You're being awfully cooperative" the Colonel sneared. Hathor simply looked at him. Jack suddenly realized what she had been doing. She was standing in the middle of a circle carved in the stone on the floor. He dove for her, but the transport rings were already coming down. In the next instant, she was gone.
"She must have aquired a ship" Teal'c commented. Jack was too busy kicking himself for letting her get away to respond.
"Jack. If Cassi's body is alive, she may be able to move into it!" Sam said hopefully.
"Uh, Jack? I think we'd better get going" Daniel was looking out a window to the right. Jack joined him and stared out. The crowds of Jaffa who had rushed to the breeding pond were milling about, confused and frightened. A couple were examining their abdomens where larva Goa'uld now resided. Both men saw the dangerous potential the mob presented.
"Time to go!" Jack proclaimed, "We may need all of the fire power we can get. Daniel, can you carry Cassi?"
"Me? Uh, sure" he answered. He swung his gun onto his back and held his arms out to Teal'c, who had retrieved the girl's body from the sarcophagus.
"If Hator has a ship" Teal'c was saying, "She may return at any time" Daniel harumphed with Cassi's weight, but he stayed on his feet.
"Let's move!" Jack ordered. They moved out intot he hallway. The women there had all stopped moving and were looking at each other.
"Sir, going through the tunnel may not be the best idea" Sam said, "All of those Jaffa will be at the other end"
"You know another way out, Carter?"
"Excuse me" the Major said to one of the bewildered women, "Can you take us to the town?" The woman suddenly smiled and nodded, her uncertainty vanished. She led the way down the hall, passing other women who still looked confused. They took so many turns, SG-1 would probably never find their way back. Soon, however, they were being shown a large front door, and six flights of steps that led right into the town.. They met with no opposition from the people, who were all simply standing, looking at each other. The town was very quiet, which is why SG-1 was able to hear the pouding of the approaching Jaffa. They had no idea what they were coming for, but they knew they didn't want to be there when the possibly violent soliders arrived.
"Thank you, we can find it from here" Sam told the woman who simple smiled and nodded and walked away. Sam, Jack and Teal'c took up a triangular position, with Daniel and Cassi in the middle, as they hurried through the streets. Just as they reached the DHD, the people around them suddenly took up their errands again, as if waking from a day dream.
"Dial us up, Daniel!" Jack ordered. Daniel handed the body to Teal'c and went to the DHD. The Gate turned and locked and opened the wormhole. SG-1 started up the steps.
"The Goddess is coming! The Goddess is coming!" they heard someone shout behind them and they stepped through.

It's going to be a long life, Fray, dear, if you keep tempting me. I miss you too...but I can still make a difference.....I'll always be here..........in the back of your mind..................
