Author's Note-Thanks Karri for reviewing.

"Stand down immediately!" ordered Hammond.
The men lowered their guns as the general looked at the new arrivals.
"George, I'd like you to meet Torna and Thai, two of the most respected people on Amarala. Thai, this is General George Hammond. I see you already my daughter and her friends," Jacob introduced.
"It's a pleasure to be here Selmak," Thai said with a smile.
She glanced at the colonel, who made a strange look at her before walking down the ramp and heading for the infirmary. Hammond carefully watched her leave.
Torna and Thai followed him. Jacob and Hammond watched as Carter and Teal'c were helping Daniel down the ramp. Jacob gasped as he saw the bandaged wounds on Daniel's arm and leg.
"Daniel, please don't tell me. Please don't tell me it was a charst that did this to you," he pleaded.
"Sorry Jacob, I remember Thai saying it was one of those nasty things," Daniel told him.
Jacob appeared devestated as he looked at Hammond, who had a paranoid look on his face.
"We can only wait George and hope. If sombody's been attacked by a charst, the first 24 hours are the most critical. If they make it through that, they'll be alright," Jacob reassured him.
"That still doesn't take away this bad feeling that I have down in my gut," Hammond replied as he followed the team to the infirmary.

Doctor Fraiser looked over Daniel, who was lying on the infirmary bed. She took the bandages off his arm and gasped at the wound before her.
"This is unlike anything I have ever seen," she said reaching to touch it.
"Don't touch it Doctor. If you do, it'll only make it worse for him," called Thai, who was being examined on the table next to them.
"And how do you know that?" she wondered, quickly taking her hand away from it.
"I've done it that's why. Those things are dangerous and deadly. Daniel has to be watched carefully for the next 24 hours," the Light warned. "Or else it's the worst case scenario."
"Thanks for the warning," Daniel said.
"You should know. This is your life we're talking about," Fraiser replied. "And I still can't believe she's carrying his child. A baby born of two races."
"Why? Still can't believe two different races can have children together?" laughed Thai as she climbed off the bed. "Besides, it's how the Lights reproduce anyway. The hosts have to be pregnant first in order to have a host for the new baby Light."
The doctor shook her head as she wrapped Daniel's arm up again.
"You're going to have to explain that one to me later," she called to her as she and Torna left the room.
The rest of SG1 walked past them and up to the doctor and archaeologist. He looked at his friends and sighed.
"How're you feeling Daniel?" asked O'Neill.
"The same as I did before, like something ran over me. Everything all over still aches a bit but at I think I can at least walk somewhat on my own now," he replied with a sigh.
Carter watched him as he stood to his feet as her father walked in.
"Daniel, I'm glad you're alright. There have a few Tok'ra who have been attacked by those things. Not a good thing to be injured by you know," Jacob told him. "And get the bites checked often. Don't want them to get infected."
"Thanks a lot for the advice," he replied as they headed for the briefing room.

Hammond turned around and faced the two people already sitting by the table.
"I don't believe it but now that I actually look at her, it's unbelievable. Uncanny," Hammond said to Jacob.
"I couldn't believe it myself when I first met her. Wasn't expecting it at all," Jacob replied as the members of SG1 walked into the room.
"What? What's going on? Don't tell me it's with this brat over here," O'Neill wondered as he pointed at Thai before sitting down in a chair.
The others soon did so, wondering what was going on between the two.
"I was actually hoping it would never come to this but I'm sure all of you have heard of alien abductions," Jacob said with a sigh.
They all nodded.
"Yes, but what's this..." started O'Neill.
"Believe it or not, one actually occured in the Air Force about five years ago, just a couple years after the first Abydos mission. A certain Lieutenant Esmerelda Skylar," Hammond replied.
Carter and O'Neill loked at each other in curiousity.
"How come we haven't heard about it?" wondered Carter.
"It was kept under very tight wraps. Didn't want the officers to become scared. She was actually under my wing at the time. She was one with much potential," Jacob explained. "I met her just recently and was very surprised to see where she had gotten to."
"Didn't expect to see you with the Tok'ra sir. Hey, at least I get to see somebody from my own planet again and speak my own language even," Thai said smiling.
The members of SG1 gave each looks of total surprise.
"You mean...this is Lieutenant Skylar?" Daniel asked, refering to Thai.
Hammond and Jacob nodded.
"I met her about a month before the disappearance. We know it was aliens for her best friend, also a lieutenant at the time, was with her when it happened. Everyone she told, which included Jacob and myself, weren't supposed to talk about it ever but seeing that the person of the conversation is in this room makes it a whole new matter," explained Hammond.
"Hey, I'm back, I'm bold, maybe even beautiful. I'm in your face and you're gonna have to deal with it Colonel,"*** Thai told him with a huge smile.
"How dare you. General, I knew there was something strange about her. Besides, she's making fun a of a superior," O'Neill told Hammond.
"Come on Jack, she's always been the one to do something like that. Even before this all happened. I should know. She's just having fun with you. I do know her and she actually said the same thing to me when I first met her on Amarala," Jacob reassured him with a laugh. "And believe it or not, anyone from planets who had ranks of power, like Earth, people were given a place in their government. Thai is the highest ranking member of Amarala's government after the High Council."
O'Neill growled anyway as he stared at the young woman.
'I knew there was something strange about you, you brat,' he thought to himself. 'Now what is your plan here? I know it's something. I keep getting this uneasy feeling about you.''

*** Based this on a quote from a certain show I already mentioned in this story. (Actually, it's pretty much the entire beginning of the quote. I just put a couple more words in it to make it sound better.)
Show- Sailor Moon
Season- 2. Doom Tree Series
Episode- Cherry Blossom Time
Full Quote- "I'm back, I'm bold, maybe even beautiful. I'm in your face and you're gonna have to deal with it. Game's over Negatrash, time for this card to hit the deck. Noone likes a partycrasher and nobody invited you. In the name of the moon, I fight for love and justice. I'm Sailor Moon. I will triumph over evil and that means you."
Said By- Isn't it obvious who said it?
