Chapter 7

"The gate was unguarded, sir." Sam said in an emotionless voice. "But, that doesn't leave a room to believe that there are no Jaffa or that they had moved."

They were walking slowly thought the tree-filled area that surrounded the Stargate. The UVA they had sent after the MALP showed that there was a small settlement not far from the gate.

"They must be mining in that area." Concluded Jonas.

"What ever they're doing there the area is heavily protected according to the UVA." Said Sam.

"Good old UVA." Jack responded.

"So we have no idea who this Goa'uld is?" asked Daniel.

"We do not Daniel Jackson." Teal'c responded.

"So we're going into unknown territory owned by an unknown Goa'uld?" asked Daniel.

"Yup, throwing caution to the wind as they say." Answered Jack.

Daniel didn't respond. They all raised their guns and took positions as they neared the village.

Slipping through the shadows they walked unseen by the many Jaffa that littered the camp. Behind them stood a familiar ship but none of them acknowledged what they saw.

"Retreat back to the Stargate." Jack ordered. "The survey is over." The followed his orders and started to retreat to the Stargate.

They all heard the opening of staff weapons and zat guns around them and in seconds they were surrounded and out-numbered by at least ten. The last thing they saw before they were attacked was blue.

'You're so close.' said a voice.

Jack O'Neill woke with a start in his holding cell. He was dazed and confused of his surroundings until he saw the walls and that the rest of the team was waking up at the same time. No one acknowledged what he or she had heard but Jonas.

"Did you hear that?" he asked.

"No." they all responded in unison not wanting to sound crazy.

"She's here." He said.

"Who?" Sam asked.

"Jessica." Responded Jonas. "That was her voice."

"Jonas, she's not here, is she?" Daniel said opening to the possibility.

"It is indeed possible, though highly unlikely." Teal'c said.

They all sat silent thinking about the possibility. They were all pulled out of though as a Jaffa walked in and said, "He wishes to see your leader."

"That would be me." Said Jack raising hand and standing up.

"He will be arriving soon my lord." Said a Jaffa.

"Good." Responded the Goa'uld. "Good."

Jack walked along with the Jaffa along the corridors. He noted the familiarly it seemed to bring but he couldn't place exactly how it was familiar. Soon, they reached a chamber that showed a sarcophagus in the middle and a familiar face that Jack could place in a moment.

"Bryan Maybourne." He breathed.

AN: I am writing the next chapter as soon as I post this one so review! I might extend this series because of new ideas.
