"We can't let those creeps take them away Jack. They have rights, just like
the rest of us. She, at least, is an American citizen. Her child is as well
once you look at it. Torna has just as many rights even though he's of
different culture. And she is a member of the Air Force as well as you or
Major Carter," Daniel angrily told his friend.
"Which is precisly why Simmons shouldn't know that just yet. If he knew that she was once a part of this country's Air Force, he's consider it an order and if she denies doing it, a court martial's in order after that for her. I want that to happen as much as you do," O'Neill told him as they walked down the corridor.
"Why don't we go get them? Get them back to their own planet? We do owe them after all," Daniel suggested.
O'Neill stared him down.
"Daniel, have you forgotten that I could get court martialled for something like that?" O'Neill angrily asked him.
"Jack, there have been several things in the past that you've done that could've gotten you court martialled but didn't. I, at least, am going to get them out of there. I don't want the knowledge that the Lights possess to fall into Simmons' hands. I don't know what he'd do with it! Besides, she's on a different planet, with different laws and regulations. She almost doesn't have to follow ours anymore. Almost like Jacob," Daniel replied, starting to become angry himself.
The two were soon locked in a staring contest.
"Daniel, don't do this. It's suicide," O'Neill warned him.
"This isn't suicide Jack. I find jumping in the path of a deadly animal in order to save someone else is more suicidal than this," Daniel told him before walking away from him.
O'Neill watched him leave the room. He sighed once the man left and sat down in a nearby chair.
"Daniel, I'm sorry," he quietly said.

The archaeologst stormed down the hall, heading for the elevator. He barely noticed anyone along the way as he pressed the button to go up.
He impatiently waited as the elevator made its way to his floor. The movement stopped and the doors opened, allowing Daniel to walk inside. He pressed a button, indicating where he wanted to go and the elevator slowly made its ascent.
Daniel thought nothing of except of the safety of the six Lights on the way .
The movement stopped and the doors opened again. Daniel walked out and looked down each corridor before he decided to turn to his left.

"Carter, he's going to do something stupid, I know it," O'Neill said.
"How can you say that Colonel? You know how much he cares for them. He saved them as they saved him. There can be a bond between people and their rescuer or rescuers," Carter said.
O'Neill stared at her.
"He's going to try and save these people. He just can't do it alone but if we help him, we get court martialled and into deep doo-doo," O'Neill replied, trying to make his point. "Knowing him, he'll probably take them back to their homeworld which is exactly what he's trying to do."
"Daniel Jackson is simply doing what he believes is right," Teal'c put in.
"Well, doing what he believes is right will no doubt get him in trouble," O'Neill told him as he scratched his head and walked away from them.

Soon, Simmons walked up to Jacob and the two Lights. They were in a room on the top floor and the three visiters stood up.
"Will the child be alright?" Jacob quietly asked her.
She nodded as they started to follow them.
"I'm so glad we have a more advanced civilization helping us," Simmons mused as they headed for another room.
Torna stopped and started to spew out some of the alien language. The others stopped as Thai closely listened to him.
"What did he just say?" demanded Simmons.
"I agree. We can't do that. We never wanted to be here. We were forced here and wish to go home," Thai said to Torna.
Simmons grew angry as he noticed the baby on her back.
"Listen, I want you three to stay here for the time being. I'll come back for you once everything is ready for us to leave," Simmons told them.
The three walked into the room and Simmons left. Jacob sighed.
"I want to go home as much as you do Thai but we can't," he told her.
"We will go home. We will not share our technology by force," Thai replied, her arms crossed.
***
Daniel was walking down the hallway with three figures behind them. He was looking at the doors, looking for a particular room. Soon, he found it and opened it up.
"Hi everybody, how're you doing?" he asked the three.
Jacob's jaw dropped.
"Daniel, what are you doing here? You could get in trouble for this," Jacob told him.
"Yes, I could but I don't care. I'm here for you guys. What does it look like? Listen, Thai, they can't keep you here. You are an American citizen after all and noone gave you a direct order to stay and do whatever. You can go home freely," Daniel told them as the High Council walked into the room.
Jacob watched them as they did so.
"In fact, I order you to go back through the Stargate to your new homeworld," came a familiar voice.
Daniel turned around to find O'Neill standing in the doorway. He walked inside.
"Jack, why are you here?" wondered Daniel.
"I don't trust Simmons as far as I can throw him. I don't like to see people held against their will. Now we'd better go before we're seen and I get into major trouble," O'Neill replied as he hurried out of the room.
***
"So you went upstairs and brought Thai and Torna back downstairs along with Jacob? I don't believe you Doctor," General Hammond angrily said.
"They were being held against their will. Now that I think about it, the more I realize that the Amaralans are just like Teal'c or maybe even the Tollans when they first arrived," Carter piped up. "There's no difference General."
"We'll have to see. To be honest with you, I don't want them to leave this facility either if they don't want to go on their own," General Hammond replied, with a sigh.
"Where are they?" came an angry voice.
Simmons stormed into the room an stared at O'Neill.
"You did this! They have valuble information that we could use against the Goa'uld!" he yelled, pointing a finger at him.
"For once you're wrong Simmons. I didn't do anything," O'Neill told him.
"I did it and you really can't do anything about it," Daniel confessed.
"They do not deserve to be pushed beyond what they feel is comfortable. You are forcing them to do something against their will," Teal'c said.
"They're going home Simmons. They're going out of your slimy clutches," O'Neill said.
Simmons growled as they stared at each other.
"They will come with us. They will not leave!" Simmons replied.
Thai growled before she stormed out of the room, Torna and the High Council following her. SG-1, Hammond, Jacob and Simmons glanced at each other before going after them.

Jacob ran into the gate room as the others ran into the control room. The five were already in the gate room, waiting for the dialing sequence to complete.
"Thai, what do you think you're doing?" demanded Hammond as he spoke through the microphone.
"We're going home. We don't want our very lives to be decided for us," Lyna replied instead as the wormhole established.
"It doesn't have to be this way," Jacob told her.
Lyna shook her head before they walked through the gate, leaving behind a confused base.
"Why would she do that?" wondered Carter.
"Beats me. Though I really don't care. She's not here to be interrogated. I think maybe Simmons had something to do with it," O'Neill replied with a smile directed at Simmons, who growled.
An alarm rang out through the level.
"Incoming travellor. It's the Amaralans," came a voice.
Thai walked back through the gate, the baby gone from her back. She didn't appear to be very happy.
"We thought we could trust you. We realize now that some of your people only want our technology. For this, you will suffer," Lyna cried out.
"Thai, I order you to stand down and we can talk about this," Hammond ordered as he talked through the microphone.
"She doesn't take orders from you or anyone else here General. She will only obey the High Council," Lyna replied. "My child was put at risk and something has to be done."
During this time, SG-1 hurried intothe gate room and faced the angry Light. Daniel stepped forward.
"Doctor Jackson. I remember you. I used you as a host not too long ago," she said as Simmons and Hammond walked into the room.
"Let us talk about this, please," he pleaded.
Lyna walked back up to the Stargate and the Light shine, establishing an event horizon.
O'Neill glanced at Daniel as his eyes happened to glow. He walked ahead from his place beside the colonel.
"Daniel, what are you doing?" O'Neill yelled as he groped for his friend.
The doctor walked just out of the colonel's reach as he took his place beside Thai.
"Thai, what'd you do to him?" demanded Hammond as Jacob walked up to the other side of Daniel.
"I refuse to answer that General. I won't answer to you, Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter or anyone else here in this entire base. I will no longer tolerate anything that you have to say," Thai said as the three walked through the gate.
The wormhole disappeared, leaving behind a very confused room.
