YT = I still do not own them or the show. I just happen to own several bits and pieces of merchandise. You know no one ever reads the top part anyway so why do I bother doing it?
J&M = Because you have nothing better to do and you're trying to make the chapter look longer…
YT = -_- That is a good point.
Italics = Goa'uld/ Tok'ra voice.

The newly suited up SG-1 and Jacob emerged from the opposite side of the wormhole and surveyed their surroundings, turning around Jacob looked at his accomplices,
" I know that it might be hard to act like I am your God but your performances must be perfect. If they are not then we will be killed…and this is after numerous visits to the torture chamber." Jacob stated this and then started to walk towards several large sand dunes.
"Damn Tok'ra and their sandy planets…How long are we going to be here Jacob?"
"Just long enough to pick up some provisions and get the plan fine tuned. Now remember Jack we are all different people now, I am no longer Jacob or Selmak but Selmet, you are my lotar Jaccar and Daniel is my other lotar Danath. Teal'c is my loyal bodyguard but since people will recognise him we can't change his name without raising suspicion."
They continued walking across the dunes in silence each wrapped up in their own thoughts, both Teal'c and Jacob were concerned with practical matters while Daniel and Jack were reminded of their pasts.
Sandy planets always reminded him of Abydos, the planet where he gained a new life, a lover and a family. Damn the Goa'uld! What right did they have to destroy people's lives? But then the guilt always comes back, what would have happened if I had never unburied the Gate? Would Shau'ri still by alive? Would Shifu have been mine instead of Apophis'?
"Urggh!" he stumbled then righted himself,
"Sorry. I tripped"
Jack watched Daniel continue walking and brooded. If Sam had been here we would never have let Daniel live that down, there would be lively chatter going on right now. In a way we as a team have lost our heart, I know I have lost mine. Sam. I will get revenge for your death even if it means my own.
"Jacob Carter. Have you thought any more about the problem of O'Neill's lack of Goa'uld vocabulary?" queried Teal'c the sunlight glinting off his gold tattoo,
"I have. It involves him not speaking at all, his vocal chords have been damaged forcing him to be a mute. It would be best to say that I damaged them because of his conduct and have yet to heal him." Answered the Tok'ra,
"I take it this is why you need me to teach Jack…sorry Jaccar Goa'uld so that this story is credible. Thus one day he'll be able to regain his speech." Spoke up Daniel.
"You assume correctly Danath." Replied Selmet as they ended their trek, metallic rings rose up through the sand and enveloped the foursome. They reappeared with the crystal structure tunnels,
"Jacob, Selmak. Well met, I trust that everything is in order…" greeted a young Tok'ra woman,
"Jacob you dog…" added Jack, this earned him an incredulous look from Daniel but Jacob ignored him.
"We are just here to collect the required equipment, inform the council and prepare ourselves for the journey ahead." answered Selmak,
"What exactly are we collecting here?" asked Jack.
"We are going to properly attire ourselves, weapons, clothing and we will be given more information." Teal'c quirked an eyebrow,
"Would it not have been preferable to have this information before contacting us Tok'ra Selmak?" Jack turned to Teal'c and gestured with his hands,
"I was just gonna say that!"
"Er guys this is not the time for another argument about the amount of information the Tok'ra do and do not give us. We have a mission that needs to be done."
"Thank you Doctor Jackson, now follow Melan to the chamber in which your new attire is located. I will inform the council what is to occur." With that he walked off leaving a slightly annoyed Colonel and his team with Melan the Tok'ra that had met them.
=^=
"You are aware Jacob that Colonel O'Neill is a liability on a mission such as this. He is an explosive individual that would need to be constantly supervised. Furthermore…"
"Colonel O'Neill would not jeopardise any mission that he was involved in and I trust him with my life as I trusted him with my daughter's life." For not the first time Jacob was a little annoyed at the wrongly placed distrust that the Tok'ra had for the Tau'ri especially Jack.
"We will keep in contact once every two weeks if it is possible. High Council." With this Jacob respectfully bowed his head and went to meet SG-1.
=^=
"All I can say is it better be warm where we're going…" announced Jack. He and Daniel both wore tight fitting dark leather pants and cream sleeveless shirts. Daniel looked at Jacob as he walked into their chamber,
"Hey Jacob…It's about the same as what I wore when the Tok'ra borrowed me for that mission to take out the system lords."
"Where's Teal'c?" Upon hearing his name Teal'c emerged through another doorway dressed in pretty much the same way as Jack and Daniel. The slight differences in their appearances were due to Teal'c's staff weapon and zat gun compared to Jack and Daniel's knives.
"You look like you're having a little trouble walking there T'…"
"That is incredibly humorous O'Neill."
"Seriously though aren't your clothes just a little tight?"
"They are fine." Jacob sighed to get everyone's attention,
"Ready?" they all nodded in the affirmative.

It's a first for me this, a long chapter! From the end of this week my normal schedule will be back to normal. For those who don't know what this means…I will be able to write the end of this story! It's so frustrating having lots of ideas but no time to write any of them.
Thank you's
Barbara = Wow. Why has no one before told me I have not just one but many talents? Thank you so much.
WolvieRogue/SamJack2003/SamJacklover = Umm…I'll see what I can do. That's all I can give you right now…sorry. ^~^
King Of My World = Oh thank you so much. Fantastic? Wow…
Read and review!
