Claire could hear voices. They sounded far away, but were getting closer.

"Claire?" she heard a woman's voice say. "Claire? Come on its time to wake up now" it stated. Claire groaned and rolled over away from the voice and covered her eyes with her arm from the bright lights over the bed. Her head was throbbing and it was taking all her will power to keep from crying.

"Claire does your head hurt?" the voice continued; Doctor Fraiser, Claire recognized.

"Just a little" was her response came in short breaths as she fought to keep control of her pain.

"I can't give you any more sedatives or pain medication without doing considerable harm to your body, so I'm sorry but you're just going to have to bear with it for a while."

"Gee thanks" came the sarcastic remark. This relieved Janet a little bit; a sense of humour was always a good sign.

"So over all how do you feel?"

"Ah, not so loud doc" Claire groaned pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Sorry, so how do you feel?"

"Like my brain is being twisted and pulled in a million directions" Claire turned and looked at the worried expression on the doctors face. She then noticed Sam standing there as well.

"So am I gonna make it?" Claire attempted a joke, but there was no energy in her to make it sound humorous. She massaged her temples in an attempt to ease the pain.

"Yes, but you will be in a lot of pain, until we can figure out what exactly Thor put in your brain"

"That puny little thing is messing with my head?! Claire sat up with much effort.

"Apparently he just wants your memories, and that's why you're in pain. We have theorized that the Asgaurd are transmitting your memories from here to wherever their ship is right now." Sam explained.

"Can't you guys stop them?" Claire winced as another wave of tremendous pain rushed through her head.

"They are not answering any of our hails and until they do there is nothing to stop them."

"Great"

"My thoughts exactly" Janet added dryly.

"Maybe I should make a tinfoil hat," Claire muttered under her breath.

"Why?" Janet asked having heard the strange comment.

"Have you ever seen the movie Signs?"

"Yes"

"And the kid makes tinfoil hats so the aliens can't read their brainwaves?" Claire clarified tiredly. The constant pain was making her just want to sleep. Although, the pain was lessening it seemed, or maybe she was just getting used to it.

"Oh, I see" Janet said, as Sam let out a small laugh. Janet opened her mouth to say something else, when the claxons went off alerting the base to an off world activation of the Stargate.

"I gotta go, I'll see you guys later," Sam said as she rushed out of the room on her way to the control room.

In the control room, Sam arrived at the same time as Jack. Daniel and Teal'c were already standing beside the General.

"Receiving Tokra IDC Sir" the computer technician confirmed.

"Open the iris"

"Yes Sir" The iris slid open and only a moment later, three Tokra's emerged form the wormhole. Jacob/Selmac walked down the ramp followed by two others, one carrying a medium sized box. SG1 and General Hammond all ventured down to the gate room to see what their visitors wanted.

"Hello George" Jacob Carter smiled. He shook his old friends hand before turning to his daughter and giving her a hug.

"Hi Dad"

"So Jacob, you guys here on business pleasure?" Jack put in, sliding his hands casually into his pockets.

"Business I'm afraid… We have heard that you have a person who has been host to many Goa'uld Scientists and-"

"And you want to mess with her brain too?" Jack said accusingly.

"No, we simply want to use a memory recall device to possibly get some valuable technologies to use against the Goa'uld. There will be no devices used that haven't been used on yourselves before" He assured.

"Well you'll have to ask Claire herself, but don't count on anything" Hammond said, and at Jacobs confused expression continued. "The Asgaurd wanted to do the same thing, but with their own technology, and when she refused they implanted her brain with a memory recall chip that is currently transmitting her memories, at least we think it is, to their ship. She is in a great deal of pain" Jacob frowned. This would make things more difficult.

After a full briefing by the Tokra SG1 accompanied Jacob down to the infirmary to hopefully convince Claire to undergo their procedure.

Jacob's heart went out to the young girl who he saw upon entering the infirmary. Even from across the room he could tell she was in an immense amount of pain.

"Hey kid" Jack greeted as the group moved to stand around the bed. Claire ignored Jack and her eyes flew straight to Jacob as he stopped right beside her. She eyed him cautiously. Jacob had expected her to be wary of him, since he would probably 'feel' the same as her captors did when she was a child.

Just go easy with the child and she will agree Selmac advised Jacob.

'Hey I have two kids, I know how to talk to her' He said defensively. After this little exchange he realized Claire was looking at him terrified. Like somehow she had heard him talking to Selmac in his head.

"You just heard that?" he asked, surprising everybody.

"Heard what?" Jack asked.

"I was talking to Selmac and I think she could hear us"

"You're one of them?!" Claire exclaimed, scrambling to get off of the bed away from him.

"No he's different" Sam said as she watched Jack catch the teen as she stumbled off the bed and almost fell.

"Yeah my ass he is," Claire was breathing hard. Her head hurt even more now as she had brief flashbacks to the monsters that did experiments on her. She shook her head to clear her thoughts as well as her vision and backed away from Jack and everybody, until her back was against a wall.

"He just wants-"

"He just wants to use some memory thing on me like those bony little grey guys" Claire said crossing her arms over her chest defensively. "Well I got news for you: No way in hell is that going to happen" she stated crossly. She brought her hand up to her head and tried to blink back the pain. She could hear the loud click of high heels coming towards her, and could hear Janet telling everyone to leave immediately. Small hands circled around her shoulders and led her back to the bed as she still held her head in her hands.

"Just lie down and try to get some sleep, there will be no more visitors today" Janet said quietly so to not further aggravate the girls discomfort. Claire muttered incoherently in response. Janet walked away, but not before hearing her current patient whisper to herself  'This sucks'.

 I know not a lot happened in this chapter, but it's sort of a segue from the last chapter to the next one which will come very soon. So please review and I thank you all for your patience. I just finished my first round of midterms here at university, so updates will not be so few and far between now.
