Sam's heart was racing and Daniel's was going about a mile a second, they could both hear that horrifying beep and prayed to hear it start up again.
Daniel was confined to his bed unable to move even if he wanted to and Sam was torn between going to see what was happening and not wanting to know at all.
Daniel felt her dilemma as he felt the same way, he reached her with his good arm and held onto her hand squeezing her fingers, and she turned to look at him a smile of gratitude on her lips but running tears on her cheeks. Daniel held onto her to prevent her from going over to where all hell was breaking loose.
It sounded like music to their ears to hear the monitor come to life, Sam breathed out a sigh as Daniel squeezed her fingers tighter.
When 30 minutes have past and the place was once again quiet Sam wanted to go over and see what was going on but Daniel was holding onto her firmly wordlessly asking her to remain by his side as Janet came near.
"Janet?" it was a soft plea as both looked into her worm brown eyes, she smiled slightly
"He's okay" she breathed a sigh "he went into septic shock but we brought him back, he's stable now" she said it softly and then took out a syringe full of the strongest antibiotics they had and pushed into Daniel's I.V. line.
Four week later
"You are doing very well Col. O'Neill I am very impressed with how fast you have been rehabilitated, soon you will be back on active duty"
"It's about time" he said the words to himself simply nodding at the over zealous doctor. He looked up at Daniel being hard at work to make his sore arm move; they caught each other's gaze knowing they were both thinking the same thing.
Unfortunately for Daniel it will take longer.
"Good morning Guys" Sam walked in with a brown bag that smelled awfully appetizing.
"What you got in the beg?" Jack hobbled towards her on his crutches.
"Brought you guys some treats" she smiled as Daniel came closer smiling. She opened the bag and handed Jack a piece of hot baked goods, and then held another one out for Daniel.
"Don't I get one?" Janet came in smiling
"Non for you doc, your not sick" Jack said with a full mouth earning a frown
"Careful or I'll use my big needle on you Col." She threatened
"Here you can have mine" Daniel said "I'd rather not see that needle if you don't mind" they all burst out laughing.
The siren sounded throughout the base, the halls flashing red and trained soldiers running to the gate room in full combat mode.
"Unauthorized incoming traveler" the sergeant said as General Hammond came to stand behind him, Sam and Teal'c came running into the control room followed by Daniel and hobbling behind was Col. Jack O'Neill.
"What is it?" he asked as he came near
"Don't know yet Sir" Sam answered taking her place at the computer.
"There is a signal coming in but the computer doesn't recognize it" the sergeant said
"It's coming in a frequency faster then the computer can translate, I'll see if I can match our computer to the right frequency" Sam was talking while her fingers were punching the keys on the keyboard
Everyone was holding their breath as the computer beeped and red markings started to line up with the sent code.
"Receiving IDC Sir" the sergeant called out as the code flashed with recognition
"It's the Tok'ra Sir" sam said rising to her feet to go to the embarkation room along with the rest of SG-1 and General Hammond.
Jacob emerged from the gate with two other Tok'ra agents with him, neither looked very good as they stumbled down the ramp, the medical team rushed to attend to their injuries as Jacob straitened as much as he could holding his hand to the blast shot that covered the side of his waist
"Please help us" Salmac's voice was heard.
"Dad" Sam was by his side supporting him as he was placed into a gurney Jacob spoke
"Salmac will heal me, please George we need your help" George looked at his old friend and nodded. 15 minutes later they were seated around the infamous debriefing table.
Jacob scanned the table, George at the head, to his left Col. O'Neill and the crutches leaning against the table were dully noted, next to him his daughter across the way sat Daniel Jackson, the sling on his now casted arm alarmingly noticeable, Teal'c sat next to him.
Jacob reclined his head, when his head rose again his eyes glowed.
"The Tok'ra base was attacked" he began as whispers started going around the table.
"We have relocated to another planet and will give you our new coordinates; however we have more pressing matters at the moment. We were attacked by Nephthys"
"Who?" Jack looked at Jacob/Salmac
Daniel cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, they looked at him
"Nephthys was known as the goddess of the dead, she was personified with darkness and represented death and decay and her face represented corruption not to forget the fact that she was Osiris's and Isis's sister and Seth's sister as well as his wife, oh and she's Anubis's mother" all eyes returned to look at Jacob as he nodded.
"So what are we dealing with here? She a worse Goa'uld then Anubis?"
"Yes Jack, she is. Even if they don't join forces she is much stronger then Anubis, she has been keeping to herself on one of the more secluded Goa'uld planets, no one heard from her for several hundred years"
"So what she doing now? Why stay away from all the mess the other system lords have made of the galaxy and then decide to show her face now?"
"They have made her job easier, destroying each other and leaving the galaxy free to conquer" Jacob said
"Why attack the Tok'ra and not the remaining system lords?" George asked
"That I do not know General" Salmac was the one answering that. "But the Tok'ra base, the Tauri and the alternate base with the rebel Jaffa are her first priority"
"Sir we should consider contacting Thor" Sam spoke for the first time.
"Aren't we supposed to be on a protected planet?" Jack was pointing out.
"Nephthys doesn't give shit about the treaty with the Asgard and in truth she is more powerful then the current situation of the Asgard so she could care less about breaking the treaty" Jacob was serious and everyone looked at him intensely.
"So what can we do?" Jack asked fidgeting in his seat
"Attack first" came a much unexpected comment from one Daniel Jackson. All eyes were suddenly upon him as he looked around at the people around him
