Chapter 15
The meeting
here's what we've all been waiting for! Thera's first mission! Talon
Enjoy! I hope you do! We actually go to somebody else's POV, for once! Raven
Thera had never seen anything like it! It was one thing to experience N'kiri's memories, another to actually see it with her own eyes! There were halls of beautifully mastered architecture, and the technology she knew rested within them was astounding! N'kiri, of course, was not at all impressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She'd hoped never to have to step foot within this station again. She'd hoped never to have had to be the weakling again! Just because she was the only one among them with a heart! Well, they would soon discover why it was folly to play with a scientist such as her! And yet, each time she saw her reflection, she saw her deceit, her coldness, and her, well, arrogance, within Thera's body. She knew not of how she herself looked. Goa'uld, of course, could not see their reflections. But she did see herself in Thera, as a mere parasite! Could a mere parasite defeat them? She was of course, more!
"N'kiri." a sickeningly familiar voice drawled. She winced, as a tall, blonde man came up from behind her, facing her with icy blue shards for eyes.
"Thoth." she replied haughtily.
You lowly . . . plotting . . . scumbag! Thera added many more words in between. The girl reminded N'kiri more and more of Jack.
"I heard about your accident." the goa'uld went on. "Tragic!"
"I'm sure it was!" N'kiri said coolly, her eyes unintentionally flashing.
I'm sure you did you . . . evil . . .! You were the . . . who tried . . . to kill us!
Quiet Thera! N'kiri warned.
"You know." Thoth proposed. "When I become system lord, you could easily be under my protection. Though, I can't assure your complete safety, I am positive your survival odds would be greatly improved by your ability to make me more powerful weapons!"
This time, N'kiri's eyes flashed dangerously bright. Sam grew the slightest bit uneasy.
"I would watch my temper if I were you, scientist! An attitude like that could put you in another tricky situation!"
He bowed slightly, his servant rushing to his side. Poor boy! Imagine serving Thoth! It was then that the goa'uld noticed Sam.
"SG1!" he bellowed.
Thera took a step toward the Major.
"As I said, Thoth. I can protect myself! And I take particular pride in my impeccable taste for slaves!" she switched from goa'uld to English. "Carter, come!" Shooting a snide sort of smirk at Thoth, she stepped through the doors into the meeting room. Thoth soon followed, but didn't linger by her side, but instead, took his servant to the other side to discuss matters with a Nubian woman, no doubt a goa'uld of a nearby system.
"I couldn't understand what you were saying." Sam muttered. "But I'll take a guess that was Thoth."
N'kiri nodded, glaring at the man that had destroyed her life long before she had become a To'kra.
"I have lived in the system lord's shadows for too long! Niirti, though intelligent, took credit for several of my inventions, and blamed her failures on me. I'm glad her genetic experiments hardly worked!" She paused, memories, unwanted ones, coming forth. "Ra and I shared a planet. Fourth one he's ruled over! All the people, of course, favored him over me! Men over women! And he was so arrogant! It was clear that I was the better leader! And Thoth, he's done too much to be allowed!" She ground her teeth in frustration as she glared at Thoth. He was quick with words, and sure to get whatever he wanted if he succeeded! Well, he would not succeed!
N'kiri took her seat among the other goa'uld, Sam standing methodically behind her. When the meeting began, the other goa'uld were not quite as relaxed about Sam's presence as Thoth was. Nearly all of them leapt out of their chairs, screaming "SG1!" or "CARTER!" or "TA'RI!"
"She is mine." N'kiri said, smiling mischievously. "She would not serve me willingly, so, I had to resort to other. . . methods!"
Thank you acting lessons! Thera proudly announced. And mom said the school play was a waste of time! You are so lucky I went through with it!
Yes Thera. I am grateful you did the necessary thing to give me an acting ability. Now, please don't distract me!
Soon, all of the system lords were aware of N'kiri's presence. Silence filled the room, as the goa'uld took their seats.
"You were killed!" the Nubian goa'uld pointed out.
"Then how is it that I sit here before you? My host is even the same! Perhaps the one who attempted to kill me was unsuccessful, or otherwise made a poorly executed attempt."
Thoth shifted uneasily in his seat.
"Nevertheless, this is a meeting for system lords only!" another goa'uld pointed out.
"Thoth is not one, and yet he comes."
"Thoth has come to propose an allegiance with us and to join our ranks!"
"As have I!"
There was a murmur throughout the system lords, and eventually they agreed to allow her to stay.
"Our first matter to discuss." a voice coming from a person N'kiri could not see. "is, Thoth. Should we have him join us, as another system lord?"
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUN! oooooooooh! cliffhanger! Talon
See that pretty blue button at the bottom of the screen? Don't you want to press it and submit a review? Don't cha? C'mon! I once read a story with over 200 reviews! Tell you what! Why don't you tell all your lovely, Stargate loving pals about this lovely little story! Raven
And by the way, are Yu and Osiris dead? I'm not completely sure? And furthermore, would Anubis actually come to one of those meetings? Oh! And if you have any requests or ideas for the story, please tell! We already have received several love story requests and a catfight request. Please feel free to give us more ideas! I'm running dry! Talon
R&R pretty please!
