"So what's the latest Colonel?" Vidrine asked the next afternoon when he returned from lunch.

"They have two teams closing on their location. The Navy SEALs and the Delta Force team."

"Where are the Air Force team?"

"About four miles away sir."

"So does she have a strategy for this situation?" Vidrine asked.

"Yes sir."

"General, sir." One of the Lieutenant's exclaimed.

"Yes."

"Er.... Major Carter's team just disappeared from the screen."

"Excuse me?" Vidrine questioned.

"One second we were picking up their tracking data, the next they had all vanished sir."

"This was their strategy Colonel, Major Carter tampering with the tracking devices."

"She wouldn't have sir. Even if she had they wouldn't have all gone out in one go." Jack pointed out.

"But this was their strategy?"

"No sir. But they'll be back .... hopefully." Jack said.

"Colonel do you know what happened to them?"

"I have a good idea sir."

"Would you care to inform the rest of us?"

"Sir, the nature would be classified, you have the clearance required for this information, I don't know about everyone else."

"Let's step into the office."

"Thor!!!!" Sam yelled as they landed on his ship. "Damn him." She muttered.

"Ma'am what just happened?" Salter asked.

"The Asguard decided to pay us a visit. Teal'c with me, the rest of you stay here we'll be going right back."

"Yes ma'am." Cracknell said.

"Thor..." Sam said as she and Teal'c walked into the control room of the ship.

"Greetings Major Carter, Teal'c."

"Thor, not that it's not nice to see you again, but why did you just take us from Earth?"

"You appeared to be in danger there were two teams of hostiles approaching your location."

"Thor, they were supposed to be. We were involved in what's called a war game, they pretend to be tracking us." Sam explained.

"I do not understand Major Carter." Thor said.

"They weren't going to hurt us. Did you drop by for a specific reason?" Sam asked.

"I was in the vicinity of Earth and thought I would check on your well being."

"We're all okay thank you for dropping by. But we really need to get back."

"Would you like to be returned to your previous location or a safer location?"

"Umm..." Sam thought for a second. Thor brought up an image of the island with flashing lights where the other three teams were. "Teal'c?" Sam asked for her friend's opinion.

"Would it not be a breech of the rules to use technology even if inadvertently to aid in the outcome of the mission?" Teal'c asked.

"Drop us back where we were." Sam said to Thor. "If you want to drop by the SGC I'm sure they would be glad to see you."

"If you return to your friends I will return you to your previous location."

"Thank you."

"It was a pleasure to see you Thor." Teal'c added.

"Okay we're going back." Sam said when they got back to the platform. "We've got the SEALs and Deltas on our sixes we need to pull back and circle around to get them."

"There's not a problem is there?" Tiner asked.

"No. Thor just dropped by to check on us."

"You believe the Asguard took Major Carter's team?" Vidrine questioned.

"Yes sir, it would probably appear that they were in danger and that he would want to protect them. Thor's fond of Sam, she came up with some dumb idea which involved blowing up their new ship the O'Neill to save the Asguard home planet."

"How would this Asguard, Thor, know where to find her? I mean it's not like she is at the SGC?"

"Both Major Carter and myself have been given sub-dermal tracking devices sir. Even if you were looking for them you couldn't find them. Thor is the only one with the specific frequency to locate us."

"Why would he do that?" Vidrine questioned.

"Besides the fact that he likes us, at the time that we were given these devices the NID was in the middle of a plot to abduct Major Carter."

"Why would they wish to do that?"

"Because of Jollinar. When she died she changed Sam's blood chemistry, they think that she is the answer to the worlds problems and wanted to experiment on her. They also don't want us having kids because I'm not intellectual enough apparently. We managed to stave them off for a while with her medical records and a blood sample. The President has the FBI and several other agency working to bring them down as we speak we have evidence against them and a nameless member of the government. We should see results soon."

"I see. Maybe we get back to see if they have been returned."

"They're back sir." The Lieutenant informed Vidrine as the entered the room.

"Good."
