"Request permission to proceed with weapons test." Jack asked.
"You have a go Digger One." Major Davis replied.
.
". You're going to overshot." Sam said urgently.
..
"They're not responding."
..
"It's not a part of the test."
.
"This is digger one, Cheyenne we have a problem." Jack said trying to contact Earth.
..
"We are ballistic." Jack's voice crackled over the radio.
"Damn it. I was counting on them having at least some ability to manoeuvre." Damn it Jack, we don't need this. Sam thought. I need you here.
.
".We're all still thinking down here so don't give. 1830 Zulu." Don't give up on me Jack, Sam thought.
.
".I spoke with Anise personally. She said they had a scout ship within a day or so of Earth barely. But there is a Tok'ra operative on a covert mission to a Goa'uld occupied world and the High Council doesn't want to expose the operative by --- making --- contact." Daniel said.
"Then, why would they bother to tell you that much?" Major Davis asked.
"They hope that the operative will complete the mission and report back in time to help Jack and Teal'c." Daniel replied.
"I assume Anise refused to say where & what this covert mission was." General Hammond asked.
"And to understand not wanting to jeopardize the life of a Tok'ra important to BOTH of us. I mean, I sort of lost my temper, but she said she was doing us a favour, by telling us as much as she did."
"Maybe she was! I mean, we know a scout ship's maximum speed from our mission to Netu. We also know it's a Goa'uld-occupied world relatively close to Earth, so ---" Sam continued.
"So.that narrows it down." Daniel concluded.
"Yes, it does. Sir, with your permission ." Sam started.
"Granted!" General Hammond said.
"How are you coping with this?" Daniel asked as they tried to calculate where the scout ship was.
"I'll be better when we get them back. Don't worry I'm not going to freak out again. Found it."
"General, can I." Sam said hesitantly.
"Go ahead. Clear the room people." Hammond instructed. "You have five minutes."
"Thank you."
"This is flight. Hold tight, guys. We got a new plan. We're trying to reach you with a Tok'ra scout ship. Don't try and deactivate the recall device it probably has a fail safe to stop you. On a more personal note, Jack, don't give up hope and remember I love you. We'll be there as soon as possible. Message ends 1947 Zulu."
"Flight this is Digger 1, I love you too." Jack replied a few minutes later.

Sam and Danny crawled through the woods, the stopped and Sam picked up her nigh vision camera and looked at the Jaffa beyond.
"We may have to go into the mine." Sam said.
"What about contacting the operative by radio?" Daniel suggested.
A noise over head caused them to look. The rings beamed down and transported them to the scout ship. The door started to open and Sam pointed her gun at it. The door fully opened revealing Jacob who looked extremely angry. Sam lowered her gun.
"Are you out of your mind?" Jacob yelled. "What the hell are you two doing here?"
"We were looking for you." Sam replied.
"Well, you better have a damn good reason! I was 20 minutes away from detonating a weapons-grade shipment of naqquadah that would have vaporized a sizable chunk of this planet. Now, if I hadn't spotted you 2 coming thru the Stargate..."
"You saw us? Sam questioned.
"Yes, the ship was cloaked --- CLOAKED being the operative word. Now, they know we're here." Jacob snapped.
"Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c need your help." Sam stated.
"What happened?" Jacob tone switched to one of concern.
"They're stranded in a disabled glider headed into space." Daniel started to explain.
"This was the only ship within range." Sam continued.
"Good enough. Well, let's go."
