O'Neill stepped onto solid ground and took a glance around the place for the second time. He saw the others nearby, including Jacob. The colonel walked up to the Tok'ra.

"Jacob, I want you to tell me what's going on here," O'Neill told him.

"What do you me to tell you Jack?" wondered Jacob.

"I want you to tell us what's going on here. Listen, I know that Skylar should probably tell us what's happening but I don't have the patience anymore. I can't wait to ask her. Besides, we need to know what the heck is going on before we meet these aliens face to face," O'Neill replied.

Jacob looked at the three members of SG-1.

"You're right Jack, I think you should know what is going on. The reason that Skylar was taken was because of information that she has along with several others of her people. She was one of the few survivors of the Tyinay. It's a ship that was blown out of the sky a number of years ago on their original home world," he explained.

"The Tyinay? She mentioned about the Tyinay and her two sister ships the first time we met on P9X-989," Carter said. "She never mentioned she was on it."

"Of course she wouldn't, would she? She's not too fond of others knowing about it, especially since that one incident with these aliens before dealt with it. All the survivors of the incident were almost killed. It's a miracle they all survived the capture and subsequent torture. These aliens are also after the people who designed the ship, of which Skylar is also part of," Jacob explained to them. "Apparently, they're after the survivors again but this time, they aren't all on the same planets so they have more trips to make."

Carter and O'Neill were surprised by this news. Teal'c raised his eyebrow in curiousity.

"This is most interesting. That still does not explain why Daniel Jackson was not taken as well," he said.

"It should. He didn't help design the ship nor was he on it, so they naturally they wouldn't want to kill him right away. Heck, even Towring didn't have anything to do with it," Jacob replied. "Now let's go get Skylar back."

Jacob walked past the group and onto the forest, not noticing the shocked look on O'Neill's face.

"Who would've thought?" muttered O'Neill.

Skylar managed to wriggle free of her grasp and move the blindfold off her eyes. She managed to take a look around the room and she saw Naraka in the corner nearby, bound and blindfolded as well.

"Naraka!" she quietly cried as she hurried over to her friend.

Skylar undid the bounds and the two looked at each other for a moment before giving the other a hug.

"Thai, why are they doing this again? This is too much for any one of us to handle," she asked.

"I don't think they got all they wanted from the last time. It's lucky that we got away then. I'm unsure about this time. I think we're not going to make it this time," Thai told her.

Fraiser looked at Daniel sleeping in the bed.

"What have you gotten yourself into Daniel by taking one of those things?" she wondered as she turned away from the bed.

She was looking at a sheet when she heard a noise coming from behind her. She turned to face Daniel to see that he was awake again and his hands were up to his head.

"Daniel, what's wrong?" she asked him as she hurried up to his side.

"The pain. There's so much pain. Make it stop," he pleaded with her.

"I don't know what's causing it Daniel so I can't do anything about it," Fraiser told him.

The archaeologist looked on either side of the bed before slowly raising to a sitting position.

"What are you doing?" the doctor asked him, placing a hand on his arm.

"I can feel it. The source of this pain is coming from inside the base. The Toraks must have left something here when they came for the lieutenant," Daniel replied as he climbed off the bed.

He headed towards the gate room with Doctor Fraiser following him close behind. Soon, they came across General Hammond, who was surprised to see him.

"You shouldn't be out Doctor Jackson," the general told him.

"I have to go find the source of what I'm going through General. Then I have to go help Skylar. She's in more trouble than what you realize," Daniel replied, gasping for air.

The general and doctor followed Daniel to the Gate Room where he went to one side of the Stargate. He looked around the area as the pain increased before he picked something up, invisible to everyone else in the room. Daniel looked at the small device before smashing it up against the wall. He fell to his knees.

"Doctor Jackson, what was that?" demanded Hammond.

"That was a method the Toraks use to kill the Lights. They put the hosts through torture by using these devices that emit a certain energy reading that can only felt by people who are carrying a Light," Daniel explained as he tried to climb to his feet. "Now, I have to go find Skylar. She needs my help."

Fraiser walked up to him and helped him to his feet. Hammond sighed before nodding his head for th go ahead.

Jacob led the group into the forest as O'Neill was becoming more and more impatient.

"Jacob, where are we going? Do you even know?" wondered O'Neill.

"We're heading into the forest Jack because that's where their base is unless they moved it," Jacob replied as they continued on.

"Unless they changed it Dad. It's been a few years since the last time, they could have very well changed positions," Carter said.

"We will be met with force, no matter where they are. They appeared to be a species that takes prisoners and does not want them to escape," Teal'c added.

"You're right Teal'c, they are like that. When we get there, be prepared for some resistance," Jacob told him.

They walked a little longer until the Tok'ra suddenly stopped. The group looked at them.

"What seems to be the problem?" wondered Teal'c.

"We're being followed. Watch yourselves," replied Jacob as he prepared himself.

But the warning came too late for bursts of light came from the trees. The group was caught off guard and was now lying on the ground, unconscious. A group of three walked out of the trees and looked at them.

"They have come for Thai. I recognize them from the planet I recently visited to capture her," one said to the others.

"We'll take them back with us. They'll suffer the same fate as Thai and the others," another said.

The others nodded before starting to take the group back to their base.
