~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Daniel sat in the sand of the small island his things spread out around him, scribbling in a notebook. Teal'c was keeping a watch out for any more Jaffa hanging around the planet and Jonas was leaning over Daniel's shoulder reading what he was figuring out.

"I don't understand," Daniel muttered.

"Don't understand what?" Jonas asked.

"This…it says that whoever activates the device has to be a Goa'uld…but why would a Goa'uld activate a device which is going to kill it?" Daniel asked.

Jonas held out his palm and Daniel handed him the notebook. Jonas read over it a couple of times and then sat down next to Daniel and looked at the inscription on the machine.

"It says Naquadah…not Goa'uld…it needs someone with Naquadah in their blood to activate it…" Jonas said.

"But it kills anyone with Naquadah in their blood…" Daniel said, looking at Jonas. "How far does the affects of this machine spread?"

Jonas looked up. "I don't know…why?"

"If it spreads further than this planet it could kill anyone with Naquadah in their blood…the Tok'ra…any other species…Sam…"

"Oh…" Jonas couldn't think of anything else to say.

They both turned back to the inscription and continued translating.

 ~*~*~*~

Siler pulled one last switch and the power came on. It was dim but it was something. Sam turned around to face Jack, Janet and Hammond…

"DUCK!" she shouted as she noticed the figured behind them.

The three of them paused for a second and then ducked as fast as they could. Jack kicked behind him as he ducked, tripping up their attacker. But he was too fast for them, before Jack knew it he was lying unconscious on the floor, the metal poll that had been used to hit him over the head lay next to him. Two seconds later Janet was also accompanying him on the ground and Siler soon followed.

Sam looked up and met McKay's eyes.

They were still his eyes, but there was an evil in them that no human emotion could possibly emit. Suddenly everything seemed to slow down. Hammond ran forward and hit the alarm button at the same time as McKay pulled a zat out of seemingly nowhere and stunned him, he slumped against the wall in an unconscious heap.

"Major Carter…we meet again," McKay grinned, but it wasn't the sort of smile that reaches your eyes.

Sam glanced at Jack as he stirred on the ground and stepped back against the switchboard. She looked around taking in her surroundings as McKay stepped over Janet's unconscious body.

"And again we meet for the last time…" McKay raised his zat gun and pointed it straight at Sam.

She flicked the switch.

They were thrown yet again into complete and utter darkness. She ducked as McKay shot the zat in her direction and then knocked him off his feet and feeling around till she found his zat. She pointed it directly at where she knew he lay.

"Don't move," she said.

"Like you could tell if I was moving anyway," McKay sneered.

Sam kneed him in the back and rested her knee there. "Now I can."

She could hear him let out a low breath, as if trying not to scream out in pain. She leant more of her weight onto his back.

"Are you working alone?" Sam asked.

"I work for my God," McKay replied.

"Are you the only one working for your Anubis in this facility?" Sam repeated the question, leaving less room for interpretation.

"I don't know," McKay said.

Sam leaned all her weight onto his back.

"OW! I told you that's all I know!" McKay said.

"You gotta know more," Sam said.

"I was ordered to come here, saying I was called by the President to help, and then kill from the inside," McKay said.

Why didn't Hammond check that out with the President? Sam thought to herself. But she blew it off as being the whole situation and McKay being quite a familiar face.

She leant back slightly, taking weight of his back. She heard him let out a sigh of relief.

Then she zatted him.

She sat there in the silence for a couple of minutes, the past couple of days events running through her head like a slideshow. The newspaper report, the press conference, the talk with the president, finding out Earth was going to be under attack, McKay being a Goa'uld, Felger being evil, her father being on Anubis's ship. It was all too much. Yet somehow a normal person like her endured it all and kept going. She couldn't remember the last time she'd had a decent meal or slept but somehow she physically kept going.

"Carter?" came Jack's weak voice from behind her.

"Sir!" Sam replied, flicking the switch to turn the lights back on.

"Ow…" Jack said, covering his eyes as he sat up. "What just happened?"

"McKay attacked us, but I got him…but we gotta get him outta here before he wakes up again," Sam nodded to his unconscious body.

Jack just nodded slowly, then took a hankerchief from his pocket and dabbed it on Sam's forehead. A blast of pain suddenly hit her.

"That hurt," she said, reaching up and taking his hand in hers, pulling it away from her head.

The hankerchief was covered in blood.

"Let's get to the infirmary," Jack said, looking at Janet, Siler and Hammond who were still unconscious.

Sam suddenly realised she had a really strange feeling in her gut, the type she got when there was a Goa'uld in the room. She looked around, her eyes resting on McKay. Maybe his Goa'uld did have Naquadah in its system.
She looked up and met Jack's eyes and then look at her hand which was still intertwined with his. She pulled it away quickly, avoiding his gaze.

"Yes, sir," she said quietly.

Jacob felt the ship jerk to a halt and looked up from his cell. The Tok'ra guard also stopped and made eye contact with Jacob. Another guard, presumably an actual Goa'uld, ran into the brig.

"We have reached Earth's orbit," the guard announced. "Anubis wants everyone ready to attack."

"What about the prisoners?" the other Tok'ra asked.

"Leave them," the guard said, turning around and leaving.

The Tok'ra glanced at Jacob and rolled the key to unlock his cell through the bars before leaving.

Jacob scooped it up. He would have smiled if he didn't have the knowledge that his favourite planet was about to be attacked by his least favourite people.

"DanielJackson, I believe it is time to contact the SGC," Teal'c said, appearing behind the two translators.

Jonas and Daniel turned around and looked at him, as if they'd been pulled away from watching their favourite TV show. Although Teal'c was pretty sure it would've been easier to drag Jonas away from the weather channel than the inscriptions.

"Oh…yeah…the SGC," Daniel said.

"If you wish, I will head back and report to them while you continue your translations," Teal'c said, smiling slightly as if it amused him.

"Yeah…that's a good idea…" Jonas said, turning back to the inscriptions. "What's this one mean?"

"That's a good question…" Daniel said, turning back around and picking up some books to search through.

Teal'c headed over to the raft they had built earlier and made his way back to the Stargate. He finally reached it and dialled Earth's address.

The wormhole connected.

Then it crackled.

And died.

They were trapped on a planet with a squadron of Jaffa out to kill them, and a machine they couldn't work without someone that had Naquadah in their blood.

And Earth was about to be destroyed.

Lizzy Baker lay on the floor in front of her TV scribbling on her maths homework. It was due the next day, but nobody was really going to care about it. She probably cared more than her teacher. Right at that point in time the world was more distracted with the unveiling of the secret alien device that was used to travel to other planets than whether or not Lizzy had done her maths homework.

"And in breaking news, a Goa'uld fleet has entered our solar system and is heading towards earth," the news reporter said quietly.

Lizzy lost all interest in her maths homework.

She picked up the remote and turned up the volume so she could hear it properly.

"Approximately 2 hours ago NASA picked up a fleet of around 100 Goa'uld mother ships entering the system, the information has just been released to the public in a press conference in Washington. Not all information has yet been explained but it is believed that the Stargate Command is already dealing with the situation and not to panic yet. People are advised to stay in their home and avoid going to busy places like sports grounds or malls."

Lizzy flicked it off.

"So in other words we're all gonna die," she mumbled to herself.

She figured people in all the houses around her would ring relatives or loved ones and tell them how much they cared about them. But Lizzy had no one to ring. Instead she stood up and grabbed her coat. If she was going to die she was going to die making a difference.

She stepped out her front door and locked it out of habit, the Goa'uld wouldn't care if a door was locked or wide open. She turned around and looked at the McDonalds across the street…

…just in time to see it blown sky high. The people around it also flying in all directions.

The world as they knew it was gone.

Lizzy Baker would probably never have to do maths homework again…
