"Which planet, my Lord?" his First Prime questioned.

"Asnick," Anubis replied. "We cannot let them find that planet, especially not with what is hidden away on it. Now get out of my site…and find out what that Tok'ra knows."

"Yes, my Lord," the First Prime disappeared from Anubis's view as Anubis looked out the window at the passing gas giant.

Saturn.

~*~*~*~

Teal'c, Daniel and Jonas stepped out of the gate and looked around. It seemed like a perfectly normal planet. Trees, fields and mountains. In the distance Daniel could see the ocean, it was actually one of the most beautiful planets he'd ever been to. The sky was clear of clouds and the sun shone brightly above them.

"Nice place," Jonas commented.

"Indeed," Teal'c agreed, looking around. "What is wrong with it?"

"Nothing…" Jonas said, looking confused.

"I do not believe that such a beautiful planet could not have something deadly hidden among it," Teal'c said.

He headed off the check out the surrounding area.

Jonas shot Daniel a 'what's up with him?' kinda look and starting sending the MALP back through the gate. Just then they heard the sound of staff weapon blasts coming from behind them. Teal'c had been right.

They turned around to find a squadron of Jaffa firing their weapons at Teal'c. Teal'c was firing back, running for some kind of cover. Jonas and Daniel joined in the battle using their P-90's. Daniel used the DHD has a cover from the fire of the Jaffa, but Jonas was left out in the open.

"Argh!" he screamed as a blast hit his right arm.

"Jonas you OK?" Daniel shouted to him, continuing to fire.

Jonas found cover behind the Stargate itself. "Yeah I'm fine."

Teal'c had hit at least four of the ten or so Jaffa, Daniel and Jonas must've hit a few as well because within a couple of minutes there were only two left.

They decided not to stick around.

Daniel ran out from behind the DHD. "Don't let them escape!"

Teal'c nodded and the two of them begun their chase, leaving Jonas at the gate with the MALP.

"Thanks for waiting guys," he muttered and started dialling Earth's address.

"Sir we've just received a communication from NASA…a Goa'uld fleet has entered the system…ten Motherships and who knows how many other kinds of ships. All heading this way…they're passing Jupiter as we speak," Sergeant Davis announced to the room.

Sam, Janet, Jack, Hammond and the few scientists gathered around fell silent.

"Start the evacuations," Hammond ordered, making his way quickly out of the room.

Sam looked at her wristwatch.

"I thought we had another 12 hours?" Jack said.

Sam looked at him. "So did I…"

With that she followed Hammond out of the room.

Jack looked at Janet who was now looking extremely wide-eyed.

"Uh oh?" Jack suggested.

Janet just nodded and the two of them made their way out of the room behind Sam and Hammond.

They were in big trouble now.

~*~*~*~

Jonathan Leigh had only been a part of the USAF for two years, but somehow had winded up getting enough respect to be stationed at Cheyenne Mountain. He was only a guard at the moment, but he planned to become much more than that. Right now he was in charge to guarding the most dangerous prisoner they had on base…well the only prisoner they had on base at the current point in time.

Just then another guard carrying a tray of food for the prisoner came walking towards him.

"Hey Leigh," said the familiar face.

"Hey Patterson," Leigh replied.

"Wanna let me in?" Patterson asked.

Leigh debated giving him a sarcastic response, but decided against it and opened the door.

Rodney McKay, and the Goa'uld inside him…were gone.

~*~*~*~

Jonas looked up as Daniel and Teal'c came walking back over towards him. He'd sent the MALP back and received a transmission from Hammond telling him…

"…the Goa'uld have entered the solar system, if we can't contact them its because they're sending people out to the Alpha site," Jonas informed them.

"Then we should get to work," Teal'c stated.

"Yes…the machine should be…" Daniel consulted his map for a few seconds. "That way."

He pointed towards the ocean.

"Well what're we waiting for?" Jonas asked.

~*~*~*~

"Sir!" Leigh shouted, running into the General's office.

Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill, Dr Frasier and General Hammond stared at the Airman.

"Yes, son?" Hammond asked.

"McKay's gone…" Leigh announced.

The power went out.

"Well this day just keeps getting better and better," Jack muttered. "When did you find this out?"

"About two minutes ago – however long it took me to run here!" Leigh informed them.

Leigh couldn't see his face in the darkness, but he knew the Colonel wasn't a happy man.

Just then the green back-up lights came on at the same moment as Sergeant Davis came running in.

"Sir, more bad news…the black-out means we can't power the Stargate," he said. "We have no escape from this planet…"

~*~*~*~

"Well…who brought their swimming gear?" Daniel asked, staring out over the big expanse of water.

They were staring at an island sitting about a kilometre from the shore.

"Great…" Jonas muttered. "What now?"

"I guess we swim…" Daniel said. "At least it's hot around here…"

"DanielJackson I have a better plan," Teal'c said.

"What?" Jonas and Daniel both asked, eagerly wanting another route out.

"We should build a raft like in your movies," Teal'c suggested.

Jonas looked at Daniel who shrugged.

"I don't see why not? Just…lets make it fast," he said.
