Tok'ra Relations
By: Kryptonite
A/N: I updated (finally) and you have a hurricane to thank for that since it is the only reason I'm not in school right now. Power outages, gotta love 'em. So Hammond has a headache, Coriander/Fai has a reason for wanting to stay together, Sam's thoroughly annoyed and Jack's as confused as ever, which isn't much. Hope everyone enjoys. Most of this story will be taking place inside the SGC, sorry to say.

" Coriander?" Sam asked when she passed the gym to see the girl do a double back flip.
" Nope. Cori's taking a break." Fai smiled at the major and bent over backwards again before kicking her legs up. " I took gymnastics." She breathed before pulling herself up.
" You- you're good." Sam commented, not able to think of anything to say to this child in front of her. A child who should never have known about this program.
" You wanna talk to Cori don't you?" Fai seemed a little disappointed but her head dipped to her chest and back up and Sam was talking to Coriander. " Yes major?"
" Why do you insist on not helping us? General Hammond said that you wouldn't perform a memory wipe once the Tok'ra find you a new host-"
" I do not insist on anything my host does not agrees to do. She wishes to be a host. Don't you understand that?"
" No, I'm afraid I don't." Sam bristled. " All I know is that you are older, considerably, and you have the responsibility to show this girl everything about the goa'uld and the Tok'ra and the stargate." Cori's eyes showed fire as she straightened up to her full five foot nine inches.
" You think I haven't? That's the first thing any new host is told. Since my old host could not tell her, I showed her myself. At that point if she had not wanted to continue I would have left her body and died."
" I know, I know." Sam fingered the bridge of her nose as she moved to sit down. " It's just."
" A maternal instinct to protect a child against that which it cannot fully comprehend?"
" Yeah, something like that. But how can, Fai?, fully understand what she's asking us to do." Cori sat down next to Sam and forced her to look into her eyes.
" How can you understand what you are asking her to do in giving me up?" Cori paused for a second before giving a brief smile and walking over to the punching bag.
Sam took that revelation and stared at the girl for a few seconds before walking back to the briefing room.
" Unless I tell you that is." Fai spoke after Carter's footsteps had stopped echoing off the metal walls.
~~~~~
" Run that by me again." General Hammond was tired and confused and this latest bit of information wasn't helping the ever-growing headache in his temples.
" There's something wrong with her home life. Something Fai isn't telling us."
" Any clue as to what that something is?"
Sam balked, not wanting to tell him the truth. " No sir."
" Keep working on it then. Until this whole situation is cleared up, which I'm praying won't take longer than a few weeks, all of SG-1's missions are canceled."
" But sir-" Jack went to protest but Hammond slammed his hand against the table top, causing everyone but Teal'c to flinch.
" No, that's an order Colonel. I want you four to watch after Coriander. Make sure she doesn't get in any trouble around base while we try and contact the Tok'ra. Dismissed." Everyone stood to leave but Teal'c.
" It is apparent General Hammond, that Fai has perfectly logical reasons for what she is doing and has every intention of continuing on her path, despite interference on our part."
" What are you trying to say Teal'c?" Hammond tilted his head at Teal'c and squinted his eyes, trying to ignore the little man with a plastic hammer banging around in his cranium.
" Find out her reasons for this. course of action and then decide whether or not she would be better off as a Tok'ra or human." Teal'c then took his leave, inclining his head to George Hammond before he left.
" This just keeps getting better and better." When the general's eyes opened again a glass of water and two Excedrin Tension Headache capsules sitting in front of him. Grinning at Dr Fraiser's keen senses, he swallowed the pills and downed the water. " It's going to be a long day."
