Chapter 7
The Stargate shut off behind Jack, and he walked sown the stairs and towards the rest of SG-1, who were standing beside the DHD. "So Konoko, what the plan?" Jack casually asked.
"We're going to talk to the Tok'ra." Konoko replied, focusing on the DHD in front of her. "We're going to see if they can lend us a set of wheels." With that, she punched in the seventh symbol and pushed the red activation button. The Stargate burst to life, and Konoko walked towards it. "Come on, let's get going." she called. SG-1 followed behind her, and with one step they were transported to the current Tok'ra home world. They stepped out of the Stargate and into a brightly lit dense forest. Two Tok'ra stepped from behind a couple of large trees. "Hi!" Jack called cheerily.
"Were looking for Selmak. Can you take us to him?" Sam asked.
The nearest Tok'ra nodded and directed them to the ring transport. SG- 1 stood in the center, and the rings exploded out of the ground and took them below. They appeared in one of the crystal rooms that are common of a Tok'ra base. Jacob walked in the opening. "Sammy! Jack! What are you guys doing here, and who is this with you?" he asked motioning to Konoko.
Konoko stepped forward. "My name is Konoko. For the time being I am in charge of SG-1. I'm sorry to get right to the point, but we are here on very important business."
Jacob looked skeptically at Konoko, then at Sam's shoulder where the SG-1 patch should have been. Noticing it was gone, his eyes narrowed. "Sam, what's going on?" he asked suspiciously.
"We've temporarily resigned, dad." Sam said a little impatiently, "Now please help Konoko if you can."
Jacob nodded, then Selmak took over. "What is it that you need, Konoko?" Selmak asked.
"Konoko nodded her thanks, then spoke. "A man named Muro has taken over the alpha site. He is the lead man in a group called the Syndicate, which is an off-world operation of the NID."
Selmak nodded. "Yes, we have heard some news about the Syndicate, but we never suspected they were actually NID."
Konoko nodded. "They tried very hard to cover that up. Anyway, they've taken over the alpha site. Naturally that means that the Stargate will be under heavy guard, so any attack through it would be a slaughter. We were wondering if we could borrow a ship."
Selmak looked surprised. "We have never been asked such a request. However, it may be possible. If you wait here, I will convene with the others." Selmak walked off, and SG-1 lounged in the room.
Teal'c turned to Konoko. "Konoko, assuming we are able to obtain this ship, what is your plan for retaking the alpha site?"
"Well..." she started, "assuming we get the ship, we would fly as close to the base as possible without being detected, and then set down and trek on foot from there. My guess is that they moved some of the troops back to the compound, so there should maybe be about 50 or so."
"50!" Jack shouted. "That's 10 to one odds, at best!"
"Yeah I know." Konoko snapped. "We are going to make a stop somewhere else first. Remember you told me about that time you pretended to defect and you worked as a mole to shut down the first NID? Remember that Asguard personal cloaking device?"
"Yes, but where are we going to get one? The Asguard live very far away, you know." Jack replied cynically.
"The Syndicate has a tech lab away from the compound. Most of the stuff is in experimental stages, but one of the tings they have been working on is a cloaking device."
"That would give us a considerable advantage." Teal'c pointed out.
Just then, Jacob came back into the room. "Okay guys, you have your ship." He said cheerily. "It'll be waiting for you topside. Oh and Jack, try not to blow it up."
"Thank you." Konoko said before Jack could reply. "We'll try to bring it back in one piece." With that, Konoko and SG-1 walked to the center of the chamber and were transported back to the surface. Once the rings faded, SG-1 looked around for the ship.
"There it is." Jonas pointed it out, nestled in a small valley.
"Alright, lets get moving, we have some technology to steal." Konoko ordered as she marched to the doors of the ship.

Sorry for the short chapter, but don't worry. I'm setting the stage, and the battle will soon ensue! Besides, I wanted to include some more Oni tech. Thank you again to Katie B. and Johan, who are always giving me feedback, and thank you to Lady Venom, who thought enough of the story to send me an e-mail. Please R&R
