Chapter 1 - The Tok'ra Ship

Pel'tak - Tok'ra Ship --- In Orbit of Earth

"So, Jacob, where'd the Tok'ra 'aquire' this ship from?" Jack asked looking around the Pel'tak.

"From a Goa'uld, Jack," Jacob told Jack as he entered some codes into the computer. Something started to beep and flash on Jacob's consol.

"What's that?" Jack asked as he, Sam, and Davis walked closer to Jacob and the control consol.

"One of the crystals in the engine room needs to be replaced before we can go into hyperdrive." Jacob said and then turned around to the group that was standing only a few inches from him. "Sam, can you do it?"

Sam shook her head, "yeah no problem."

"Carter, take Davis," Jack told her and Majors Carter and Davis headed out of the Pel'tak and down to the engine room.

"So, Jack," Jacob said, "how's it working out with Davis?"

"He's a good officer."

"Is he SG-1 material?"

"You mean would he give his life to save your daughter?" Jack asked.

"Okay, so maybe that's part of it."

"He would, Jacob.he would give his life to save any of us if he could."

"I just worry about Sam, you know that."

"I know."



Engine Room - Tok'ra Ship

Majors Carter and Davis entered the ship's engine room to check out the hyperdrive. Sam pulled out a panel and started to exam it, she pulled out one of the crystals that looked severely fried. She replaced it with a good one and then looked for any others that needed to be replaced. Suddenly the ship shook and Major Davis was caught off guard and fell into Sam, which mad them both hit the floor hard. "You okay, Sam?" Major Davis asked getting off of her and offering her his hand to get up. She nodded and took his hand and he helped her up. "Sorry."

"It's okay, but I think that was the only crystal."

"So, we can head back?"

"Yeah."

"Okay," Davis said as he watched as Sam put the panel back and then started to walk with Davis to the exit, but the door wouldn't open.

Sam let out a sigh and then pushed the button on her radio, "Colonel?"

"Yeah?" Colonel O'Neill's voice came over the radio.

"The door down here won't open."





Pel'tak - Tok'ra Ship

Jack looked over at Jacob Carter, "Jacob?"

"What? I don't know what's wrong.it should open." Jacob said checking over the systems.

"Jacob says it should be working." Jack said into the radio.

"It's not sir," Sam's voice came though over the radio.

Jack looked back over at Jacob, "Jacob?"

"I'm working on it," Jacob told him.

Jack looked back over at Teal'c who was quietly standing behind him. "Carter, Dad's working on it.hang on. So, Jacob?"

"Jack?"

"What's going on?"

"I think there's a hull breach."

"Breach? And there's no alarms going off?"

"It looks like the ship's systems have been sabotaged."

"So, where's the breach?"

"In the Engine Room, it looks like it's getting bigger and bigger.they gotta get out of there and to escape pods.I can't override any of the doors that are locked down."

"Damn it!" Jack cursed. He pushed the button on his radio, "Carter, come in."

"Yes, sir?" came Sam's voice again.

"Carter, apparently the ship's been sabotaged and there's a breach in the engine room. It's small, but you two still need to get out of there because Jacob said it's just getting bigger. Can you manually override the door?"

"Major Davis is trying that now, sir."

"Listen Carter, you and Davis are going to have to get to pods and abandon ship once you get the door open."

"Yes, sir. Where are the nearest pods?"

"Jacob?"

"To their left down the corridor," Jacob answered.

"Got that?"

"Yes, sir," Sam reported. "And Major Davis got the door open."

"Go to the pods, Carter and report in there."

"Yes, sir."





Down the Corridor

Majors Carter and Davis found the pods, but there was only one. "What now?" Major Davis asked annoyed.

Carter pushed the button on her radio, "Colonel?"

"Yeah?" came the colonel's voice.

"We have a problem."

"Please tell me there's a pod!"

"There is."

"Good."

"But only one, sir."

"Damn..Jacob said that you both better get inside that that area's hull is going to rupture at any minute!"

"Yes, sir!" Sam said and then motioned for Davis to get in and then got in. The pod closed and launched.



Pel'tak - Tok'ra Ship

"Did the pod launch?" Jack asked Jacob.

"Yeah," Jacob said sadly.

"What? What's wrong?" Jack asked concerned with Jacob's tone of voice.

"The pod is headed for the Artic Ocean, and then I'm not even sure that it will survive making it through the atmosphere."

"We need to contact the SGC, and have them get a teams out there," Jack said trying to say calm.

"I believe the escape pod will survive it's decent through the earth's atmosphere," Teal'c interrupted.
