"Here's what we have." Hammond said as he walked into the briefing room
where everyone was gathered. "The vicinity of the gate is clear. UAV picked
up an encampment about two clicks south east of the gate through brush."
"No Goa'uld palaces or ships?" Daniel asked.
"Not that this intelligence says Dr Jackson. But it was rather hastily gathered."
"We'll do more recon in situ sir." Jack replied.
"That's all we have Colonel, you're basically going in blind."
"Nothing we haven't faced before sir." Jack replied.
"They're all good men Colonel, bring them home."
"We'll do our best as always sir."
"Then you have a go." Hammond instructed.
"Yes sir. You heard the General people, armoury and radios we move out in five minutes. Hustle people."
"Godspeed." Hammond said over the radio.
"Move out." Jack called. They all ran through the gate. "Ferretti, go right, we'll go left. Keep each other in visual contact. We're not losing anyone else. If you see anyone else or our people radio in."
"Yes sir. People move it." Ferretti ordered.
"Let's go. I'll take point. Teal'c watch our sixes." Jack instructed.
"As you wish O'Neill." Teal'c replied.
Jack signalled for everyone to stop when they reached the edge of the brush where they could see the camp ground. He pulled out his high-tech binoculars and scanned the area.
"Take a look and tell me what you see." He handed Sam the binoculars.
"Approximately ten Jaffa. It appears their guarding the central tent; I'm guessing that's where our missing men are. I don't recognise the symbols. Teal'c?" Sam held out the binoculars to Teal'c who looked through them.
"They are the Jaffa of Nun." Teal'c replied.
"Daniel?" Jack prompted. "Nun, catholic woman in black habits?"
"Egyptian god. Part of the Ancient Egyptian creation myth, which is really fascinating."
"Daniel. Nun." Jack said in a sharp whisper.
"He was the waters of chaos basically he's associated with the chaos that existed at the edges of the universe." Daniel explained.
"Chaos. Great. How many gods of chaos did the Egyptians need anyway?" Jack huffed. "Teal'c, heard of him?"
"Nun was banished by the System Lords many years before I was born."
"Why?" Sam asked.
"As Daniel Jackson said, he created the chaos that exists in many galaxies. After he was banished, he was not heard of again, it was believed that he had died."
"O'Neill do you read me?" Ferretti asked over the radio.
"Copy Ferretti. What've you got?"
"We can see about ten Jaffa surrounding a tent. Can't identify them thought."
"We were just getting a history lesson. They serve Nun."
"Nun? Woman in a black habit?" Ferretti asked.
"Egyptian god who was banished before Teal'c was born, which is obviously a long time ago. Apparently he's another one of those pesky chaos gods." Jack explained.
"Jack, we've got a couple of Jaffa head our way." Ferretti informed him.
"Zat them and tie them up. Then get back to us and we'll set up a plan."
"Got that. Out." Ferretti finished.
"So any ideas?"
"They don't look very well armed sir." Sam said looking through the binoculars. "And we're down to eight Jaffa."
"So?" Jack prompted.
"We create a diversion to draw a few more of the Jaffa off, then go in fast and furious." Sam suggested.
"Sounds like a plan. Daniel, Teal'c any other suggestions?" Jack asked.
"Sam's plan would work."
"Indeed." Teal'c agreed.
"Then we'll go with that."
"O'Neill, come in." Ferretti said half a minute later.
"I read you Ferretti." Jack said.
"We've got them out cold. So what's the plan?"
"Send Jenkins over here. She and Sam are going to create a little diversion while we go in and get the rest of our people."
"She's on her way. Let us know when it's time to go."
"Will do. O'Neill out."
