AN: howdy, campers. Well here's the next installment of my not so little story. Who knew it would be this long? wonders in amazement Anyway, I hope you like it. It was one of the more difficult ones to write considering what I wanted to put down and what I actually did weren't exactly copasetic. Well, after thinking and thinking and rewriting and rewriting, I came up with this. Enjoy it and let me know what you think of it. Pluses and minuses are welcome.

PS: jnp, that was probably one of the most flattering reviews I've had in awhile. I like that you're being critical of my writing. It's always nice to have someone offer suggestions, but it's just as nice for someone to state specifically what seems to be working. That goes to JediMaster16 too. In one chapter I directed a comment to someone else when I meant to direct it to you. Sorry it took so long to catch that. I bow down and beseech your forgiveness considering it was also a comment from you that encouraged me to do more mental dialogue.

Anyway, thanks much to you both and everyone else who has stuck with me.

With a sudden and violent jerk, Jenna found herself outside her body in a manner that she'd recently become familiar with. She stood near the door from where she could see the Reetou standing over her body. It was beyond surreal, yet at the same time it felt natural for her to be in this state.

She watched as the Reetou stood for a moment before leaning down to claim her security card from her pocket. It then turned and came towards her. She was momentarily startled by its approach, forgetting for a split second that it couldn't see her. It then past through her on the way to the door and for a moment she was in it's thoughts.

She was stunned to learn just how busy the hybrid had been. It had spent the last couple days planting various interdependent explosive devises throughout the SGC. Meaning, if one went off they all would, and it was almost done. She needed to know more.

She turned and watched it go then looked down at her body. With a single thought, she was next to the bunk. She knew what they had agreed, but she had to know if Emillynn was still there before she went after the Reetou. She looked close and saw a faint serpent-like aura coiled around her spine. It wasn't as bright as she suspected it should have been, but it was there. She knelt down close and placed her hand within Emillynn's aura.

Hold on, Emillynn. Long enough for me to do what I have to.

Hurry, Jenna, I don't know how long I can keep us alive without your help.

It's almost over. And, Emillynn…if it comes down to it save yourself.

I won't leave. It would be foolish to anyway without a host.

It's not a choice, Emillynn. I need someone to explain to Jonas why this had to happen, and no one can do it better than you.

I'd have to survive first…

Jenna left before Emillynn could say more. Emillynn would try to keep her alive for as long as she could so that the necessary information could be taken from the Reetou and relayed to O'Neill before it was too late. That was all that mattered at the moment.

Jenna thought about her current state and knew she'd been lucky up until now. She'd be pushing it if she believed she'd come out of this okay. Her body had suffered too much trauma lately. Though she'd been functional, she hadn't fully recovered from her previous injuries and now Emillynn was beyond taxed trying to keep her alive.

So whatever time she had left she had to make count. She focused in on the hybrid and found it running towards her and away from the SFs. She waited the couple of seconds it took for it to reach her then jumped on for the ride. Its mind overwhelmed her. Where the glimpse she'd had before was like looking into a window, this was like jumping head on into an on coming wave. It had one goal and one goal only and that was to destroy this base. But first it needed to reach the main power generator and redirect the power output.

Jenna focused on taking control. She concentrated on its legs, its arms, trying to slide into them the way she would pull on clothing. All she felt was resistance, though. It was like pushing against water but being unable to break through the surface tension.

Since that method didn't work she needed to try another. Willing her surrounding into a format she could control, she imagined the Reetou's mind as a network of cables running out from a central core computer with each cable having a specific function. She was reaching for a cable when she felt it become aware of her. And just like a computer defending itself from a computer virus, the hybrid erected a firewall around her. She felt the heat intensify and begin to suffocate her before she was able to leap up and over. Just as she was standing another wall came up to surround her and she quickly leaped away before it could squeeze in and consume her. Before another firewall could erupt, she took hold of the closest wire and yanked it from the core.

The hybrid went down when it lost control of its legs and the SFs were able to catch up to it. One of them went for an arm and was brought forcefully to the ground. The second one quickly came down on its back and grabbed the other arm before it could gain any leverage and twisted the arm behind it.

"Damn, what's gotten into her?" The first SF said regaining his feet. Both were still under the assumption that this was Jenna. They hadn't known why they were chasing her, but given the type of facility they worked in and the many threats that the Earth was constantly under, anything was possible.

"Get over her and help me cuff her wrists, Jacobs," the second SF, Lt. Lewis, said. He was barely able to keep his grip and needed to get both wrists in the cuffs but he was having a hard time with just the one.

Jacobs grabbed the other arm and with a two handed grip, was able to bring it back so Lewis could get it cuffed. Lewis got a good grip on the left arm and Jacobs the right before he got off the hybrid's back and both stood pulling, what they thought was Jenna, up with them. They didn't wait to see if it would get to its feet, instead they dragged the Reetou quickly to the closest cell locking the door as soon as it was in.

"Guess she wasn't Tok'ra after all," said Lewis. "Notify General Hammond that we have her in custody."
