Chapter 3: Osiris

Osiris strode confidently with a predators gait through the corridors of the mothership, heading towards the bridge. According to the Jaffa, an Asgard ship had appeared, wasted a Ha'tak and just left. Just left, no that didn't sound right to her, why would an Asgard vessel be in this area of space, they were after all still in battle with the replicators after all and couldn't afford to open up another war front. Also, why would they just hit and run like that? That was cowardly Tau'ri tactics…

Osiris stopped momentarily, a disturbed look on her face. Cowardly yet effective Tau'ri tactics? The vessel had certainly destroyed a Ha'tak in a move that was totally out of character for the Asgard, and the Tau'ri and the Asgard were known to be very friendly. It certainly got the point across that the fleet was a known quantity, but why would they just it and run like that?

It screamed recon to her, but the Asgard wouldn't need to, they could have scanned the fleet without ever leaving hyper, but the Tau'ri would want to see with their own eyes, and weaken the fleet at the same time… She gulped; did the Tau'ri now have access to Asgard ships and technologies? Would the Asgard give them that capability? That attack was certainly a Tau'ri move not an Asgard one.

She breathed out slowly as she continued, striding less confidently up to the bridge, it looked as if the stakes on this attack had already gone up before the attack had even started.

Osiris despite rumours to the contrary was just slightly brighter than the average Goa'uld, and she knew exactly what that itchy feeling down her spine meant, and she was sensible enough not to ignore it. She dived down, hitting the floor as brilliant bolts of light sped past her. She twisted, activating her personal forcefield as she turned to face her attackers. Her hand faltered momentarily as she saw her attackers, then she raised it blasting a shockwave at her attackers, knowing it was pretty much useless but would buy her a few seconds. Osiris then executed a manoeuvre her host's memories called the hare. She legged it, running as fast as she could for the ring transporters, vanishing with a flash of light aboard a Ha'tak whose crew she had been carefully cultivating.

Anubis had sent supersoldiers after her; obviously it was time to leave.

Same Ship, Environmental Control room

"Milady" the supersoldier spoke slowly, hesitatingly, not used to being allowed to speak, or even needing to speak, "Osiris was here, but she escaped before we could kill her"

"Goddess damns her!" Willow replied, "okay, any idea where she is now?"

"She is aboard one of the Ha'taks milady" a faint note of surprise entered the supersoldiers voice, "two Ha'taks are breaking off, they are firing on the fleet, several vessels have been caught with their shields down and are crippled"

Team 2 shared quick shocked looks, "any ideas why?"

"No, milady… wait… incoming transmission from one of the Ha'taks"

"My Lord Anubis" Osiris's mocking voice blared into the room, "you have seen fit to send your supersoldiers after me, so be it. For that I now deprive you of several of your much vaunted ships. Should be interesting trying to attack Earth with a weakened fleet against a Tau'ri fleet which now includes Asgard ships of the line. Do enjoy"

"Anubis didn't send supersoldiers after Osiris, we did" Willow commented confused.

"Yes Willow, but Osiris was attacked by supersoldiers and up till now all the supersoldiers have been in Anubis's employ, how is she going to know that these ten are not?" Giles said a very ripper like grin on his face, "still doesn't explain the Asgard ships thing though, we don't have any do we?"

"Indeed not" Teal'c smiled faintly, "but Anubis now thinks we do, and soon all the system lords will too through their spies"

"Should make them think twice before they attack Earth again" O'Neill commented as he hefted the last canister of gas into place.

"Indeed

Teal'c paused, "however I once again find myself with a strange desire"

"To see Anubis's face as he realises his favourite servant has left with two of his ships" O'Neill grinned.

"Destroying two Ha'taks, and crippling another one in the process" a supesoldier added, O'Neill's grin grew wider.

"Having been attacked with his supersoldiers, which he didn't order" Giles added.

"And being told the Tau'ri have Asgard ships" Willow pointed out.

"Should be a…" Teal'c hesitated, "candid camera moment"

Laughing, they grabbed their gas masks, and turned the taps, allowing the colourless gas to be drawn into the ships ventilation system

Mirage (tthfanfic): I created it as a targeted spell, that is it will only effect those it is targeted on, and only within a small area, otherwise... well I don't think it'd work any other way.

Everyone else: very nice to know the story is being read and appreciated, thanks. Pease keep the reviews coming!
