*1020 Hours, Unknown Position, Yirgand Fighter Ship*
"Pretty little thing you are. Pretty pathetic." Major Carter's eyes slowly opened, seeing a dark haired man looking at her. "Anubis will soon dispose of you." Sam gathered saliva in her mouth. "Eat dirt, you son of a." She could hear a door opening, and footsteps. "Guard. Step back from my slave." Major Carter looked up, surprised. "I thought you were going to kill me." Anubis chuckled, slowly walking around the table. "Once I'm through with you, who said I would not?" Sam could only attempt to spit into his face. The guard raised his weapon at the woman. The man was definitely a Jaffa guard, not in any way cloaked like the others were. "Guard. Lower your weapon or your god will gun you down." The guard retreated and saluted, only nodding and giving a small "Yes, m'lord." Anubis slowly descended his head, so that Carter could feel his pulsating breath. She closed her eyes. "I would not want to hurt a pretty face as yours. Tell me the Dialling Procedures now, and we'll make it a quick execution." The Jaffa gave a small chuckle. Carter remained silent. "No?" Anubis remained calm, not raising his tone. "Well then, I have different ways to get to information." He raised his arm, the Jaffa stepping up. "Insert the probe. Do not harm her though, or your reward will be diminished." He laughed, then went out the door, his array of guards following him.

General Hammond gave a sigh. He knew he had to tell his people, but he did not know how. SG1 was the thread of life for this Operation, yet even rope can be cut. Yet he also know that one is better to be prepared for a battle than to be bleed by the knives of one's enemies.
He bent over the microphone. "All. Everyone, please. please listen up. As you all know, a team was dispatched onto an Asgard ship earlier this day. Their mission was to disable a Fighter ship, which, as you know, will pass by us. Yet, SG1 did not fulfil its mission. Colonel Jack O'Neill, as well as his Team-mates are missing, presumed. Dead." Hammond sighed, wiping some sweat off his forehead. "Yet we must move on. - The Asgard High Command will be dispatching their ship into Earth's orbit, as soon as a standoff is inevitable. I want noone in nor out of that gate. - If Earth would be to fall under attack from the aliens in question, the fate will be in your." He paused briefly. "In our hand." For a moment, all was silent. Noone dared say anything. Hammond felt ashamed. Always had he wanted to be known as the strong and bold. Yet here, he knew he showed the weakness of humanity. First, only two, then 5, then 12, then the entire base was clapping. Yet not a cheerful clap. A clap of respect.

Anubis watched in awe, as his Jaffa guards rounded up the prisoners, their eyes filled with sorrow. "We have done nothing to deserve this! We only want peace!" The man with the brown curled hair pleaded in fear. "Please! I beg your mercy!"
Anubis shook his head, raising his tone of voice. "You did not obey your god." The hooded monster stood up. "I will enjoy seeing your deaths. Let this be enough mercy." He raised both arms. Immediately, all Jaffa had their Staff weapons raised at the innocent family. The door flung open. "Silence!" Anubis shrubbed after who just entered. "How dare you interrupt my entertainment?" His posture grew, and two of his royal guard had their weapons poised to rid the intruder. "My lord, I am the messenger. The prisoners of the Asgard ship have blasted themselves through the Yirgand cell. They are on the lower level." Anubis whispered something to his right, and a Jaffa guard nodded. "Was that it?" - "No, m'lord. We have readied the preaching room for the procedure against the human who calls herself 'Carter'. Shall we stun her and begin the implantation?" Again, Anubis whispered to his right, the guard moving out the door. "Messenger." The man covered himself. "I am sorry I have interrupted your entertainment, Lord Anubis." Anubis shook his head. "I have found a new Messenger." He turned to his royal guards. "Kill them all." The man was thrown to the ground, all of the guards arming their weapons. His left-hand Soldier was shouting. "Yarran!" All of them raised their Staffs. "Keck!" The red pounds of flame bombarded the family and the Jaffa messenger, their guts revealing themselves.
Anubis laughed, then stood up. He had ordered his new Messenger to inform the Yirgand of the perimeter breach, to tell them to send in their troops. His strategy was foolproof. Noone could get by an Yirgand soldier. That was the only reason why he served - them.
