"What the heck was that all about? What did she mean by not listening to any of us?" demanded Simmons.

"Do you even realize who that was?" Hammond asked him.

"No, should I?" replied Simmons.

"That is Lieutenant Esmerelda Skylar, the officer who disappeared several years ago. She is alive, safe and well right where she is with the Lights," General Hammond angrily told him. "You just scared her off and she took Daniel Jackson with her. What on Earth she's going to do with him, I have no idea."

Simmons looked at the Stargate, a dumbfounded look on his face.

"I don't believe it. Those rumours were true. There really was an Air Force officer that was taken by aliens," he mused.

Jacob walked though the gate on the other side, followed by Thai and Daniel.

"Thai, what did you do with him?" asked the Tok'ra.

"She did nothing Selmak. It was me all along," Daniel told him.

Jacob sighed as they started to walk towards the village.

"I'll never understand your people as long as I live," he said.

"Of course not. That's exactly how Colonel O'Neill feels about us or you or any of their more powerful allies. It's always been in his nature. I never expected it to be in yours," Thai replied.

***

Hammond, Simmons and the remainder of SG-1 were now sitting the briefing room.

"Someone care to explain what esactly happened to Daniel out there?" asked O'Neill.

"It's almost as if were under the control of someone. But who was it? It couldn't have possibly been Thai," Carter suggested.

"And who's to say that it wasn't Thai?" wondered O'Neill, looking at her.

"Sir, you and I both know the Lights aren't capable of mind control. My best guess is that there is a Light inside if him," Carter suggested.

"Lyna, do you think?" replied Hammond.

"I can't be entirely certain. I mean, he must have seen it coming otherwise he wouldn't have let himself be inhabited again," Carter said.

"Maybe he did not see it coming," Teal'c suggested.

"Maybe he did and he allowed it. We will never know for certain," Carter replied as she thought about it.

"One way or another, he is with her, possibly as a hostage," Teal'c told them.

"Teal'c's right. He's no doubt their hostage. We have to get him back," Hammond.

"How do you to propose that? First, we have no idea where they went to. They could've gone anywhere," Simmons retorted.

"We will find them Simmons. I guarantee it," the general angrily replied.

***

Jacob watched Thai with a worried look on his face as the three walked towards the village.

"Thai, what will you do to him? More precisely, what have you done to him?" he asked as they walked into Thai's home.

"I have done nothing yet. They will come for him once they know he's here. I will show them that messing with the Lights is not a good idea. The Goa'uld are one thing, we are a totally different one," she replied as she looked at him. "Sir, permission to speak freely."

"Esmerelda Skylar, I'm not in the Air Force anymore and neither are you. Besides, I told you not to worry about the formalities but go on," Jacob replied.

"I'd like to be alone with Daniel for a few minutes please. There's something personal I'd like to discuss with him," she said.

"Of course," he replied with a nod before leaving the room.

Her eyes glowed as Daniel stared back at her, waiting.

"Do you hear me?" she asked him.

He nodded.

"Good, listen to what I have to say. It's very important," Thai replied with a smile.

***

A wormhole was established at Cheyenne Moutain and Jacob walked through to meet General Hammond and SG-1.

"You've really done it this time. Your only link to an advanced civilization has been angered. I have no idea what she's going to do Daniel. I know it's going against my better judgment to come and get you but I thought it was best for everyone if I did so," Jacob told them.

"I say let's do as he says. Can't go wrong with your father Carter," O'Neill told them.

"You have a go SG-1," Hammond replied before the team hurried to prepare themselves.

***

SG-1 followed Jacob through the Stargate and they started to head towards the village.

"She actually came back to her new homeplanet? I don't believe. Why on Earth would she come here?" muttered Carter as her father led them into the house.

"Daniel!" cried O'Neill as he hurried over to his friend.

The doctor was lying unconscious on the floor in a prone position, his glasses off his face and on the floor nearby. O'Neill appeared a bit worried as he turned Daniel to his back.

"What happened to him?" demanded the colonel.

Carter knelt by them and checked Daniel's pulse.

"He looks fine though I can't be entirely sure," she replied.

"Then let's him back to the SGC before anything else happens," O'Neill said as he and Teal'c lifted Daniel off the floor.

Jacob watched them slowly head towards the Stargate. He gave a sigh.

"What have you done?" he quietly asked himself.

What he didn't see, nor any of SG-1, was Thai watching the entire scene from the next room. She slightly moved the curtain before turning around and walking away.

***

Fraiser walked into the infirmary to see O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c patiently waiting.

"He appears to be fine. What causing this state of unconsciousness, I'm not exactly sure. I have no idea what could have caused it though I have a strange feeling Lyna, Thai or even both had something to do with this," Fraiser told them.

"Great. No drugs, no visible signs of attack, no nothing?" asked O'Neill.

Fraiser shook her head with a sigh.

"For crying out loud. How are supposed to help him then?" demanded O'Neill, waving his arms about.

"That's a good question Colonel. You can either wait until Daniel wakes up or you can try and go find Lieutenant Skylar and ask her what she did to him. Those are probably your only choices," Fraiser replied, her voice starting to sound angry.

"I think I'll do that if the general allows me to," the colonel said before storming to the door.

"Sir," called Carter.

O'Neill swiftly turned around once he was in the doorway.

"Yes, Carter?" he asked.

"Do what?" she wondered.

"Find that slimy weasel and demand her to tell me what she did to Daniel," he replied before heading out the door.

The three watched him go.

"There goes one stubborn man," Carter said.

Fraiser nodded in agreement.

***

It was two days later and Carter was reading a book beside Daniel's bed. The colonel was denied of his request to go find Thai and was quite upset about it. Carter was a bit surprised when she a groan coming from the bed.

"Daniel?" she said as she quickly climbed to her feet.

Daniel partially lifted himself off the bed.

"Daniel, how're you feeling?" she asked.

"I'm not sure though it feels like bitten by one of those charsts again," he replied as he put hands over his face and fell back down onto the bed.

"Then I think you should rest for now. You need it. Though, do you remember anything that happened?" she cautiously asked him.

He slowly shook his head before she left the room.

***

Daniel was sleeping as Doctor Fraiser was checking the moniters beside him when he suddenly awoke. He looked up at the woman standing next to the bed.

"Doctor Jackson, you're awake. Are you still feeling terrible?" she wondered.

"No, actually. If it'd be alright, I'd like to get dressed and go for a walk around the place," he replied.

"Of course. Here, let me help you to your feet," she said as she started to help him.

***

Minutes later, Daniel was walking down the hall, towards General Hammond's office. He knocked on the door.

"Come in," came the general's voice as Daniel walked in and closed the door.

"General Hammond, where's the rest of SG-1 right now?" asked the doctor.

"They're going over a few things with Jacob and the Tok'ra on their homeworld. Why do you ask?" he replied.

Daniel lifted up a weapon and aimed it right at the general. It was called a taylon and it looked a bit like a handgun.

"I want you to send me back to the Lights' homeworld. Now!" he ordered as he voice changed.

"Lyna! What are you doing here?" demanded Hammond.

"Lyna? You truly think I'm Lyna? I'm not her. I'm Towring, a really good friend to both her and Koran. I'm also an important person from Amarala. I'm just as important as mt friends," he replied. "Now come. We're going on a little trip."

Hammond reluctantly stood from his seat as Daniel pulled back the handle and the weapon lengthened.

"Alright," Hammond told him, an angry look on his face. "We're going."
