Chapter 5
Ouster sat in the interrogation room comfortably, inwardly grinning that he had not given up any information to his captors. It had been almost six hours straight now, and they were getting frustrated. Jack stared intently at Ouster, trying to intimidate him with his gaze. "Alright Carl, let's get one thing straight, I'm on the verge of breaking regulations. You start talking or I'll..."
At that moment the door flew open, and a bolt of energy from a zat hit Jack. He slumped to the floor in a heap. Ouster stared at the door. A purple haired head poked in. "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get out of here!" Konoko urged.
"But I don't understand," Ouster replied, confused, "aren't you working for them?"
Konoko sighed exasperatedly. "Isn't it obvious? I'm defecting. I want to work for the Syndicate. Come on, we have to get off world now!"
Ouster needed no more motivation. He jumped up from his chair and ran to the door, where Konoko was waiting on the other side. "Follow me," she ordered, "the gate room is this way."
The two of them ran down the halls of the SGC, arriving at the gate control room. Konoko and Ouster ran up the stairs, and Konoko zatted everyone in the room quickly. Ouster looked at her suspiciously. "Aren't you going to kill them?"
"Don't have time." Konoko replied. "We have to get out of here, and we have to do it now. I'm taking us to an uninhabited world. We can jump wherever you want from there." Konoko punched in the coordinates and then moved towards the gate room with Ouster in trail. Konoko and Ouster ran up the iris and through the gate before anyone could stop them.
On the other side, Ouster and Konoko emerged on a sandy deserted plain. Konoko turned to Ouster. "I've realized the error of my ways. Please forgive me; I want to serve the Syndicate. I pledge my life to the Syndicate and their cause." She bent down on one knee and handed him her zat.
Ouster eyed her suspiciously. Hmm, he thought, maybe she is serious. I guess her brainwashing at least partially took. Ouster looked at her eyes, and then finally made his decision. "Very well, Konoko. I accept your allegiance. Now, we must move quickly, the SGC will quickly send forces."
"But where can we go?" Konoko asked, "Anubis will not doubt be tipped off should he see me or you. Where can we be safe."
Ouster smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I will take you to the Syndicate's main facility. It is underground, and Anubis doesn't know it even exists." Ouster walked over to the DHD and punched in the seven coordinates.
Before Ouster could activate the gate, he heard Konoko behind him. "Thanks, sucker." Then Ouster felt a hard blow connect with the back of his head and everything went black.

"So Konoko, do you have any kind of a plan?" Hammond asked. All the SG leaders, Konoko, and General Hammond were sitting around the briefing table.
Konoko nodded. "Yes sir, we have to lure Anubis' forces to P4Y-947. My suggestion is to find a mother ship, then using the Prometheus, lure it to the planet. All we have to do is force the mother ship to land, shouldn't be too hard since the Prometheus has Asguard weapons. Once they land, they will no doubt detect the facility, and the Syndicate will be screwed no matter what."
"Why do I sense a catch?" Jack asked, as others murmured their agreement.
"Uh, well we would actually have to piss off a mother ship quite a bit, without doing much damage for it to chase us, so we would have to fly X-302s into battle as well." Konoko answered. "This could result in casualties, but it would destroy, or at least completely cripple the Syndicate, and it would also probably do some damage to Anubis."
"Gentlemen this is a high risk mission." Hammond stated. "I'm not going to order any of you to proceed, so any one who is willing please raise your..."
Every hand in the room went up.
Hammond nodded. "Alright then. Konoko, Colonel O'Neill, I'm placing the two of you in control of this operation. you have the entire resources of this facility, the X-303, and as many X-302s as necessary at your disposal. Gentlemen know that this is essentially our last chance to stop the Syndicate cold; they will be too powerful should this not work. I have faith in all of you to get the job done."
Jack and Konoko were the last to leave the room. "Nice work with Ouster," Jack muttered bitterly.
Konoko looked at him apologetically. "Sir, I'm sorry I had to zat you. You know I had to make it convincing."
"Yeah, but why couldn't you have zatted Jonas or something?"
Konoko snorted. "Sir, Ouster would have known something was wrong if Jonas was doing the interrogation. What would he have done, subjected him to hours and hours of the weather channel?"
"Good point." Jack replied. "Come on, we've got to get to Nevada."

Hope you guys liked the chapter. I know it's a bit short but the next one will be an awesome battle scene, I promise. Thanks again to Johan and Katie B. These two have been so supportive of my writing. They even went back and reviewed my old stories. I really appreciate that, guys. Anyway, please R&R.
