The Arrogance of the Asgard, the Tollen, and the Tok'ra
"Great, so there's a Gou'ald, whoever it is, running around?" Jack asked, picking up a couple pieces of the broken jar.
"Isis," Daniel suddenly said.
"Wasn't she in that jar that was found with Osiris?" Sam asked.
"I thought so too but it wasn't her," Daniel said, closely looking at the shards of the jar.
"Lovely....," Jack muttered, looking tired.
"What can be done?" Princess Kakyu asked, surpressing her anxiety.She had seen what Anubis had done, she had seen the power that Ba'al and Cronus had, power that could destroy worlds at their command.
"Nothing really. We can contact the Asgard and the Tok'ra, possibly the Tollen, for assisstence," Daniel said, continuing to pick up the pieces of the jar.
"I understand the seriousness of the situation however we cannot go looking for a single Gou'ald on this planet," Selmek pointed out. He sat at in the conference room at Stargate Command with General Hammond and SG-1 after a message requesting aid had been sent to the Tok'ra. But there was another reason he had chosen to come but he would wait until later to discuss it.
"So you're not going to help at all?" Jack asked, looking annoyed.
"No but there is nothing that can be done at the moment," Selmek explained slowly. Jack found the Tok'ra annoying for many reasons, the least of which was their condensending attitude.But then on the other hand, the Tok'ra had proven themselves as valuble allies.
"Surely you did not come here to merely tell us that,"Tea'lc said, looking at Selmek.
"No, you're right. There is another matter. Recently, Ba'al was killed by a minor Gou'ald by the name of Rhiannon. Now she has taken over Ba'al's empire and is quickly becoming stronger than any of the System Lords," Jacob said as Selmek vanished.
"And this concerns us, why?"Jack asked.
"It is best when the System Lords are fighting among themselves for power and have kept each other down by elimanating those who get too strong. However, Rhiannon is not one of the System Lords," Jacob explained.
"But she still threatens their power," Daniel pointed out.
"True, but she had strong allies among the System Lords," Jacob said. "I have been in her service as a Gou'ald lord so I was able to gather information as well as some of her plans,"he said.
"So what exactly did you want from us?" Daniel asked.
"We need information however, I was not able to get into certain places. That's where Daniel comes in," Selmek suddenly said.
"Look, we saved your rear ends many times and you still refused to share any technology with us! That's fine but you could at least help," Jack said, frustrated. The Tollen High Council looked down at him, their faces impassive. Jack found the Tollen to be even more annoying than the Tok'ra. It was their policy not to share any techology with less advance races and they were very very arrogant.
"We will not get involved in the affairs of another planet," a woman said firmly.
"Ok, so if Isis escapes and takes over other worlds, perhaps yours...," Jack started.
"When the Gou'ald come here, we will deal with them then. Until that time, there is nothing we can do," the woman interrupted Jack, her tine indicating an end to the session.
"Sir, we can always contact the Asgard," Sam suggested as she walked with Jack and Teal'c back to the Stargate.
"Oh ,yes, the Asgard, like they'll help us anymore than the Tollen. "That's what I hate about some of our 'allies,' they think just because we don't possess weapons and techology that isn't oh-so-advanced that they can treat us like this!" Jack said angrily. Sam and Teal'c glanced at each other, both unable to respond.
