"LET ME OUT!!!" O'Neill bashed on the door then after no response, proceeded to paced the room

" Why have they locked us up in here? I mean, don't they know they have a Gau'uld mother ship hanging over their city?"

"Well sir maybe they do and they are trying to preserve our planets future alliance by ensuring our well being " Sam was saying in a desperate attempt to get the best case scenario.

"You know what Carter maybe you're right and they are just worried that we will get scared and go home." Jack said in a really sarcastic voice. Just then the door opened and a man who introduced himself as Bal'ic walked in

"I am terribly sorry for keeping you waiting, you must come with me." he spoke in a truly sympathetic voice.

"And may I ask were you are taking us because before we go anywhere we want to know what's going on." Jack said stubbornly

"Please I do not wish to upset them by making them wait too long so please just come." the man pleaded

"no we aren't budging until you tell us what's going on" Jack stated, with a stubborn look on his face he sat down.

"No please don't keep them waiting they will get mad and call their lightning from the heavens. We must obey their command" he had started sounding like his life depended on them following him.

"O'Neill I do believe he is referring to the Gau'uld"

"yeah thanks T. " jack rolled his eyes "you wouldn't happen to know how they are calling lightning down?" Jack asked

"well it is just a guess but it is told that one of the ancient Egyptians had a ring that could call lightning but it was lost long ago" Jonas informed everybody

" yeah well why did you tell us if it was lost."

"because you know how the Egyptian gods were actually the Gau'uld posing as gods. I just thought it could be connected in some way"

"You must only refer to them as all powerful gods. You can't speak of their other name, now come with me." said Bal'ic a little worried and anoyed

" uh for one they aren't all powerful gods they are only slimy snakes and for another, why on earth are you taking us to the Gau'uld?" Jack nearly screamed "oh yeah and one other thing you wouldn't happen to know which snake you would be taking us to, would you?".

"Oh please refer to him a.." began the man

"as all mighty god etc. we know, we know, just get on with it." jack said

"sir please lay off you know they don't know any better." Sam said quietly

"yeah ok sorry. Do you know who you were taking us to?" Jack asked a little nicer this time

"yes, he calls himself Anubis." Jack looked at Sam, Sam looked at Jonas, Jonas looked at Teal'c who raised an eyebrow

"ah, could you give us a minute?" Jack asked. Bal'ic replied

"y..yes, but only a minute.I will tell the Powerful one we are preparing you." and with that he sent a guard from the door with the message.
