A/N: I re-edited this chapter after the e-mail from pettygrew. For some of the points I have changed parts of the last chapter and this one, but for others I have left it, as I have written the next couple of chapters which hopefully will make everything become clear. I'm writing whenever I get chance, unfortunately I have three exams in the next three weeks so I'm going to be revising for those. Hopefully I'll continue to update but if you're wondering where I've got to then the chances are I'm stressed out on exams. So here's the slightly changed version of chapter 15…

********************************************************************************************************

Doctors make the worst Patients. Alexa mused as she finished adjusting Janet's sling on her broken arm. Since coming to, Janet had not wanted to sit still, insisting that she felt fine. She had practically jumped up from the bed when Hammond came into the infirmary carrying a muttering Daniel through to the infirmary. "What happened?" she asked.

"He's started hallucinating, much as the Colonel did before," he answered. Janet looked down at Daniel. His face was dripping with sweat and he was calling out something inaudible. She felt immediate sympathy for him and motioned for the General to place him on a bed. He did so, and Daniel opened his eyes. "Sha're, no!" Janet ran over to him and held his arm.

"Daniel. It's okay, you're safe." But he continued to cry out to his dead wife, "I don't think he can hear me," Janet said. She felt a tear stinging at her eye and turned away. He had been through more than his fair share in the past few days.

By now, Jack was coming to and wasn't feeling too good. He groaned as he woke up, catching the attention of everyone in the room. He rolled over, almost falling off the edge of the bed and managed to stand up. Janet moved to stand in front of him as he tried to walk out. "Oh no you don't, Colonel. You need rest."

"He's not the only one," Alexa piped up from behind Janet. Her arms were folded and she had a stern look on her face directed at Janet. She sighed as Jack shook his head

"I have to find Daniel," he explained. Janet held out her good arm to stop Jack advancing and nodded at the archaeologist behind him. He turned around. "What happened?" he asked, worry etched on his face. Hammond answered him.

"He was attacked, by the Goa'uld, just as you were. It looks as though the entry wound on his neck had reopened, possibly because as a result of being taken as a host again, or simply because of a struggle that aggravated it. We can't be sure."

"The Goa'uld…" Jack muttered, almost to himself, "Carter… it's in Carter, " he said louder for everyone to hear.

"We know," Hammond answered, "unfortunately we were too late. She left through the Stargate. We had no choice but to let her go."

"We have to find her!" Jack protested, almost shouting.

"We will," Hammond continued, "we have the address of the planet she's gone to…"

"Then what the hell are we waiting for?" Jack was almost shouting.

"SG Teams two through six are currently offworld, and in case you hadn't noticed, SG-1 isn't exactly fit for duty right now and you've had the most experience with the Goa'uld. In my opinion you're the best team to bring back Major Carter alive and well."

Jack sighed in defeat and looked around. Daniel wasn't looking well, he had to admit that, but he himself was fine. Teal'c, where's Teal'c? "Where's Teal'c?" he said aloud. Hammond looked at Janet. She ran out of the room followed by Jack. Alexa was not happy.

***

Janet ran into the control room, but couldn't see Teal'c. She ran through top the other side, almost bumping into the Jaffa as he came through the opposite door. "Teal'c! Are you okay?" she asked. Teal'c nodded.

"I am indeed, Doctor Fraiser."

"Teal'c, buddy," Jack jumped in, "what happened?"

"I believed Major Carter had become a host to the Goa'uld. I attempted to stop her before she shot me with a Zat'n'ktel blast."

"But you're okay?" Jack asked.

"I am fine, O'Neill. Do not concern yourself. What of Major Carter?"

"Ah, yeah," Jack began, "We got a bit of a problem there. See, she's gone somewhere through the 'gate and Hammond won't let us go find her until we're all fit for duty. Personally, I feel fine."

"As do I, O'Neill."

"Yeah. Unfortunately, Daniel's a bit out of it at the moment so we're gonna have to wait."

***

A couple of days later, Daniel was wide awake and very miffed. He had already tried to get up from the bed several times in the last couple of hours, but had been stopped by Alexa, who insisted that she would keep at least one of her patients in the infirmary until they were one hundred percent well. Daniel had protested, they had argued and Alexa had won. Jack had managed to avoid Alexa's icy temper for the time being, but took the chance to visit his friend, now that Daniel was feeling better.

"Hey, Daniel," He offered. Daniel muttered a reply and Jack shrugged it off. Daniel looked over to where Alexa was. She was busy with some paperwork. Daniel took his chance, jumped up and ran out of the infirmary, much to Jack's amusement. He laughed, causing Alexa to look round. She sighed at the empty bed. Why is it always me?

***

Jack followed Daniel on his escape and found him in his office at the computer, muttering something to himself. "Daniel? Wat'cha doin'?" when Daniel didn't answer, Jack went to look for himself. He leaned over Daniel's shoulder to see what was on the screen. "Nephthys?"

"The Goa'uld, it's called Nephthys." Daniel answered.

"How do you know?"

"I remembered something when it was in me," he continued, shuddering at the thought, "one of the things was its name. Nephthys."

"Anyone we know?" Jack asked, still leant over Daniel.

"Jack, would you mind not breathing down my neck?" Jack jumped up as though he had been shot. He mumbled an apology. Daniel continued, "Nephthys was the daughter of Seb and Nut, the sister of Osiris, Isis and Seth, the wife of Seth, and the mother of Anubis, either by Osiris or Seth."

"Close knit family," Jack commented. Daniel continued to read what was on the screen.

"In the earliest times Nephthys was regarded as the female counterpart of Seth, and she was always associated with him; nevertheless she always appears as the faithful sister and friend of Isis, and helps the widowed goddess to collect the scattered limbs of Osiris and to reconstitute his body."

"Ugh!"

"Yeah… unfortunately for us, the Goa'uld Osiris isn't dead, but Isis and Seth are."

"So this is gonna be one hell of a pissed off snake?"

Daniel nodded. "With us. And this also means that when L'Anya came here, and we thought she was a Jaffa, she can't have been, because Nephthys must have already been an established Goa'uld." He paused, "Remember the summit I went to?" he asked, not waiting for a reply, "Osiris was there to represent Anubis. Jacob told me Anubis was banished from the System Lords for around a thousand years before now for 'unspeakable crimes'. The System Lords present at the summit voted and accepted him back. From the sounds of things he's pretty powerful, possible even more than the rest of the System Lords put together. Everyone but Yu voted in his favour."

"Me?" Jack asked

Daniel sighed, "Yu the System Lord."

Jack forced a smile and pointed at Daniel, "I knew that," he said.

"Now for the major problem. If Nephthys still has a strong link with Osiris, and Osiris with Anubis, then Nephthys could well be in league with Anubis, too."

"Most powerful." Jack mused. Daniel nodded.

"And if I'm right, we're gonna have big problems getting Sam back."

A/N: Please review. Hopefully the next chapter will be up a.s.a.p. if I can get time to write.
