Baal
~~~~~~
Jack remembered like it was yesterday, de ja vu, the room had spun. Literally. He managed to keep some semblance of character about him by dragging himself to his feet and offering a sarcastic comment to the two guards heading towards him. He was propelled out of the cell.
"Love how he's made it a home from home"
For his dry comment, all he was awarded was another shove further towards a room at the end of the dimly lit corridor. 'Yup looking very familiar' Jack thought to himself, a sinking feeling starting to grow somewhere inside him. He tried to concentrate on where the feeling was rising and tried to press it back down. He was lead into the spacious room, and the guards took sentry at the door. 'What no gravity well to hoist me up on?' He kept this thought to himself the longer he was kept away from one of those things the better. Jack glanced at the guards at the door who just stared back at him. He took the chance to take a glance about the room, see what he was getting himself into.

*The room was large, had a high ceiling and from what he could make out a gravity well at the far end. A large chair or throne was situated in the middle with two steps leading to it, with two tables either side. The gravity well was situated on the wall to the right of it. A tray with a goblet sat on the table to the left. The right table had a small wooden box and black leather bag laid on top of it. The room was coloured a dark red, gold decorations adorned the walls. The lights on the wall cast a dark luminescent light onto the room. Behind the throne was a wall which to look at seemed the same colour as the other three but as Jacks eyes accustomed to the light there was a definite something different about it to the rest, he just couldn't figure out what*
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Doh" Jack whispered under his breath, why did he always think at the wrong time. The moment his eyes set onto that damned wall, a panel slid from the left side of it, revealing a small doorway. The wall shimmered softly as the door slid open to admit the source of many of his nightmares into the room. Baal eyed him closely, recognition in his eyes, Jack eyed him suspiciously, following him as he stepped onto the small platform and sat himself comfortably on the throne. A small-framed servant had followed the gould and stood by the platform, eyes flitting over Jack for an instance.
"We meet again Tauri"
Baal motioned too the servant as he spoke, Jack didn't know whether to answer or keep his mouth shut. Either one could earn him another blow to his already aching body. Instead, he set his eyes on the servant who had busied himself pouring his lord a drink.
"And again under similar circumstances. Tell me are you here again to free more of my servants? Jaffa?"
Jack kept his lips tightly pressed together; Baal was one Gould he did not want to get on the bad side of. The longer he could keep himself from that gravity well the better. Baal, watching him closely, continued his taunts.
"Do you forget the last time we met Tauri? Do you forget I have ways of making you talk"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*He smiled a sly sadistic smile as he saw the tauri openly wince at the thoughts of what he had had to endure the last time. He took a slow sip of wine, his eyes never leaving his face. He had heard of this Tauri, more so since his partnership with Anubis. Part of a flagship group who were also allies with the tocra and jaffa. He remembered the last time he had encountered this tauri. It had taken time but eventually he had started to wean information from him. Then Lord Yu had attacked, amidst the commotion this tauri had escaped taking with him a valuable servant. However, he had returned, foolishly, and with another. The female may prove useful and if not she would take up the place the other had vacated*

Sam awoke on a cold flat surface. She tried to raise her hand to rub her aching eyes but binds held her wrists pinned to the surface where she'd been lain. She tried to shift the rest of her body but found that her ankles were bound also. Her feet were bare, and the restraints tightly cut into her skin. She wore her trousers and T-shirt but her overshirt had also been removed. She strained her eyes against the dim light. She could make out a table near her right with a box lain on top. She moved her head slowly to the right, squinting. She could make out shapes on the opposite wall but they seemed distant. She concentrated on making her mind focus. A hard job considering she felt like it had been used as a battering ram. She focused, straining her eyes. The wall was not a wall. More like a stiff, heavy curtain. What she could see as distant shapes were on the other side. The light on the other side was making the shapes more obvious. So, What? she was just supposed to lie here until someone came? She shifted in the binds again testing each one to see if any could possibly be worked to release. No such luck, she wasn't surprised. She fought to keep a panic from rising inside her, 'stay calm Carter you've gotten out of worse' it was like a distant voice calling within. All she could do was lie and wait for whatever was coming and it wouldn't do to let her thoughts run over what would happen when someone eventually come. She forced herself to think of astrophysics and mathematical equations trying to keep her mind occupied. It was going to going to be a long wait.
