AN: * denote that it's an internal conversation w/in Cassie.
Cassi's body was taken straight to the infirmary where Janet immediately began running tests. Assured they couldn't do anything and she would keep them appraised of her findings, SG-1 followed Hammond to the briefing room. Major Dillard and his teams had already reported that they had first poisioned and then opened fire on the breeding pond which, as before, abrubtly burst into flames.
"Then they said you ordered them home. Now why did you do that, Colonel?" Hammond asked.
"The Jaffa were on their way to the pond" Jack answered, "I wanted to make sure they'd get home"
"And then what happened?" Between the four of them, they told Hammond everything that had happened.
"Where in the world did Hathor get a ship?" Hammond wanted to know.
"Probably the same place she got the sarcophagus" Daniel answered, "They might have even been on the planet when she found it"
"The Goa'uld do not leave such things unatteneded" Teal'c told them.
"Okay, so maybe she got it from another Goa'uld" Sam suggested.
"Dr. Jackson does Hathor have any allies among the Goa'uld?" Hammond asked.
"Not specifically. Remember, though, that was thousands of years ago and that all has probably changed, especially since she's been out of the picture so long"
"All right. Why did she want Cassi?"
"She said she wanted to learn her secrets" Sam told him.
"She saw her teleport!" Jack shook his head, "That's what she wanted!"
"So why did she let you take her?" Hammond questioned.
"She said it was just a shell. She must've realized without Cassi's....mind....she would find nothing to help her" Sam told him.
"I don't understand why she didn't simply kill you" Hammond said. Everybody looked at each other.
"Well.....remember that she was the most beloved of the gods. People served and worshipped her because they liked her, not because they were afraid of her like Ra. The people on the planet seemed happy enough. Maybe....she's just not as bad as the other Goa'uld" Daniel suggested.
"I have never met a good Goa'uld" Teal'c objected.
"I'm not saying she's good, Teal'c" Daniel quickly amended, "Just not as bad" A door opened and Janet walked in.
"Dr. Fraiser?" Hammond said while both Jack and Sam stood. The Doctor flopped of shief of papers on the table and took a seat. The worried parents lowered back into their seats slowly.
"She's alive, but she's brain dead" Janet announced tiredly, "I don't know what that means"
"What do you mean brain dead?" O'Neill asked.
"If a person has been dead for more than 7 minutes they go brain dead" Janet explained, "Lack of oxygen to the brain. So even if you could recesitate them, they'd be in a coma for the rest of their lives. Usually, the body is so damaged, it's not possible to recesistate them after that long. Cassi's body, however, is in perfect condition, but there's still no brain activity."
"I thought the brain contoled body function" Daniel said.
"No, things like blood circulation, respitory functions and cardiac functions are automatic"
"Well, but Cassi can just.....go back into her body, can't she?" Sam asked.
"I don't know" Janet answered, " I sent for Cassie......here she is" A guard brought the girl in. Noticing the grim looks on everyone's faces, her heart fell a little.
*Come on, Cass!* she thought at her friend, *Come back!* But she felt nothing in her head. She wasn't sure what that meant.
"Cassie, we've got Cassi's body" Sam said when she'd taken a seat, "We need to know if Cassi can get back into it"
*Cass! They found your body! Don't you have anything to say?........*
"Won't it be....you know....rotten?" she asked out loud to stall.
"The Goa'uld Hathor put the body in a sarcophagus" Teal'c told her.
"It's in perfect working condition" her mother added.
"So? What does Cassi say?" Sam asked. There was still nothing from the other girl.
"Cassi...." she couldn't bring herself to say it, to tell them. Mentally she was pleading for her friend to return to her conscience mind, but she felt nothing, heard nothing.
"Cassi went.....she.....well.....she kinda....."
*It's working?! For cryin' out loud!*
A big grin covered Cassie's face as suddenly a familiar voice reverberated in her head.
*Cass! You're back!
You're body's nice, Fray, but I still prefer my own*
"Cassi went where?" Jack asked urgently.
*Tell him I'm trying to go to my body*
"She says she's trying to go to her body!" Cassie announced with a relieved smile. Nobody made a sound as he "dead" girl attempted to revive herself. Cassie felt the drain of her efforts and the emotional stress. The girl was straining, but she couldn't get loose. She finally stopped. The effort had left Cassie breathing hard. Everybody was looking at her hopefully.
"She can't get free" she told them breathlessly, "She's trapped in me" The devestation was palatable. The adults all slumped in their chairs, but nobody said anything. Nobody even moved. Even Jack seemed deflated. They all sat there like that for an entire hour. Finally, the General got up and went into his office. Daniel looked everywhere but at the people at the table, and finally stood and left too. Teal'c followed him out. Another few minutes passed silently and then Janet stood too. She caught Cassie's eye and nodded at the door, so Cassie followed her out. Only Jack and Sam remained at the table and Sam had only a single tear on her face.
***************************************
What are we going to do?
*I don't know. I'm trapped in your body, but I don't know why. It has to have something to do with the physical ties!*
Are you saying if I were to die, you could get to your body?
*Probably, but we can't very well kill you can we?* *sudden enlightenment*
Cass, what are you thinking?
*Quick! Get to the infirmary!
****************************************
Cassie spent three hours doing research for her friend. Then another two hours working out her theory into words. When she saw the finnished prodoct, her hope soared. She raced back to the briefing room. Only Jack was sitting at the table now, in the dark. He looked up when she flicked on the lights. She leaned breathlessly against the table.
"We have an idea!"
AN: Somewhat confusing: the conversation between Cassi and Cassie. Remeber, they're really speaking in emotions, so when Cassie knows what Cassi is thinking, it's not so far fetched.
