Chapter 3
Sitting in the middle of the bed in her room, Andrea meditates. Hearing a loud knock on the door, she opens her eyes. "Come in."
"Hey, Teal'c said you did not want to be bothered but that was hours ago." Daniel says entering the room.
"We brought you something to eat." Jonas lays a tray on the table.
"Thanks but..." Andrea says being cut off.
"The sergeant said you skipped lunch." Daniel looks at papers thrown about.
Andrea picks up the newspaper in front of her and crumples it and throws it in the trash. "I leave and the government goes to hell in a hand basket. Would you eat?" Andrea looks at Jonas and grins.
"I would." Jonas answers.
"Ok, ok, I'll eat." Andrea jumps up and looks at the tray.
"Good, how are your arms?" Daniel picks a notebook upon the desk and stares at the drawings. "I've seen this before."
Andrea pulls out a chair at the table and sits down. "Yes," sticking a fork in mash potatoes and opening her mouth to eat them.
Jonas looks at the drawings as well, "This is ancient." Looking at Daniel for confirmation hands the notebook back.
Andrea continues to eat paying attention, but says nothing. Daniel and Jonas sit down at the table still looking at the drawing.
"Where did you see this?" Jonas asks.
Andrea reached under her shirt and pulls the necklace out and takes it off. Andrea clinches the pendant and opens her hands and then hands it to Daniel.
"Where did you get this?" Taking the necklace and studying it carefully. "Do you know what this could mean?"
"I found it." Andrea lies.
"Where did you find, Dr. Milton?" Jonas gets excited.
"I don't know." Andrea gets tense.
"Andrea, what's wrong?" Daniel hands the necklace to Jonas. Daniel knows when he woke up in that strange place and she was there sleeping she didn't understand how he got there.
"I'm sorry Jonas; I did not mean to be that short." Andrea takes a long drink. "Please call me Andi, both of you; I'm going to be here a long time. Daniel, nothing's wrong, I just don't remember."
"You did not used to be this outspoken." Daniel acknowledges.
"No, but then I never found something important with my name on it." Andrea takes a bite of the sandwich on her plate.
"Does the inscription match anything you have seen before Dr. Jackson?" Jonas touches the red stone in the center.
"No." Daniel says looking at the inscription.
Andrea sees the Colonel walk by in the hall. She jumps up and runs after him. "Colonel O'Neill." Andrea yells again. "Colonel O'Neill, please wait."
"Yes, Dr. Milton." O'Neill says drawing it out.
"I wanted to say sorry about before. I provoked you on purpose. I know you don't like me." Andrea looks at him honestly.
"I'm sorry too. I really am a nice guy." Jack tries to smile.
"I know. For three months every Asgard I saw talked about you. O'Neill this and O'Neill that, I thought you were some sort of prodigy." Andrea says sarcastically.
"Really?" Jack looks at her surprised.
"After the O'Neill was destroyed, I thought they would build a shrine to you." Andrea laughs remembering one Asgard saying he'd been there when O'Neill first appeared.
"A shine you say?" Jack looks at her expression believing her.
"Yes, look can we call a truce. I'll try not to provoke you anymore." Andrea says to him in a more serious tone.
"Okay truce." O'Neill sticks out his hand to shake hers. Andrea takes it and shakes it.
"Thanks, if you see Major Carter, tell her thank you for the newspapers." Andrea turns and walks back to her room.
Andrea walks from the Elevator when she feels someone behind her. Not thinking on instinct she flips the hand that touches her shoulder. Eyes closed she pins the person to the floor. Jonas was just going to say something but Andi seem to be in deep thought. He didn't know that tapping her on the shoulder would get him pinned to the floor. "Dr. Milton it's me!" Jonas says afraid she would hit him.
Opening her eyes Andrea sees Jonas. "Oh Jonas I'm so sorry!"
Jonas grins when Andrea lends him a hand up. "It's okay; I understand what you've been through can put you on the defensive side."
"I don't think what I have been through is an excuse. Daniel and Jacob said I would be safe here it's hard to turn off my self defense mechanisms right away." Andrea pulls him up. "It could have something to do with what happened in the conference room." Jonas says walking beside her. "The colonel and I have called a truce." Andrea says looking at Jonas and smiling ruling that reason out.
"Colonel O'Neill caved in that soon?" Jonas looks surprised.
"The General must have talked to him." Andrea says looking at Daniel who heard the last part of the conversion as he walking toward them.
"It's not that easy." Daniel and Jonas say together.
Andrea shrugs. "I told him about the Asgard."
"That's probably it." Daniel hands Andi the necklace.
"So what's the plan to deal with Anubis?" Andrea asks wondering how far the plans were to becoming a mission.
"The Tok'ra are going to give Anubis fake information." Daniel speaks to Andrea who seems to care about what happens more for his sake than anyone else's.
"When Anubis is in position, the Colonel and Major Carter will take out the weapons, and Ba'al will destroy the ship." Jonas says factually.
"Sounds good." Andi says. "When?"
"In three weeks." Daniel says.
"I told you we would get him." Andi yawns and waves to the sergeant that had stood outside her room the night before.
"It'll work. We'll see you tomorrow then." Daniel yawns as well.
"Yes." Andi yawns again.
"Good night Andi." Jonas leaves heading toward his room.
"Good night Andrea." Daniel smiles and then turns to go to his room.
Andrea stands in the gate room with her ivory robe on. While she waits for Teal'c, she adjusts her hand device and listens to Daniel speak. Daniel continues to warn her about Ba'al when she cuts him off. "Daniel stop." Looking at him she says soothingly, "I'll be fine. He won't mess with me, at least not yet." Andrea smiles and pats her robe.
The door to the gate room opens and Teal'c steps through with his Jaffa uniform on. Jonas follows him, carrying a packet of papers. "Nice Teal'c." Andrea whistles, while tucking her hair into the robe. "Are you ready?"
"There are the contracts you asked for Andi." Jonas hands her the papers.
"Thanks!" Andi hands them to Teal'c.
"Are you sure you don't want Jonas and me to go with you?" Daniel looks concerned.
"Yes, Teal'c and I will be fine." Andrea says as the chevrons lock.
"As I told Colonel O'Neill, I will protect Dr. Milton, Daniel Jackson. Teal'c assures them.
"Wish the Major and the Colonel luck." Andrea turns and walks through the gate.
"Indeed." Teal'c follows her through the portal.

"Wish the Major and the Colonel luck." Andrea turns and walks through the gate.
"Indeed." Teal'c follows her through the portal.
Stepping out of the portal, Andrea immediately activates her force shield. "Jaffa, Kree!" she demands.
Teal'c steps behind her. "Hear me Jaffa," he declares in a booming voice. "We wish to speak with Ba'al your god."
A Jaffa fires his staff weapon at Andrea. The blast is deflected by the shield. "Very stupid." She says smugly. "Teal'c fire a warning shot above his head please."
"With pleasure!" Teal'c fires his weapon barely missing the Jaffa's head.
"Right this way," The Jaffa replies leading them down a path.
"Very efficient," Andrea said as they followed.
Entering a large chamber, the Jaffa calls out to Ba'al. "My Lord."
Andrea interrupts him before he can finish as she and Teal'c enter the room. "My, my Ba'al what a lovely place."
"How dare you enter my palace unnoticed?" Says standing from his chair, raising his hand to throw Andrea across the room.
"No, I don't think so Ba'al." Andrea raises her hand quickly and deflects the throw. "We come bearing gifts."
"How dare you bring a Sho'va here?" Ba'al sits down in his chair.
"Aw, Teal'c, he doesn't like you." Andrea looks at Teal'c and frowns.
"That is okay, Dr. Milton." Teal'c smiles a little. "I do not like him."
Andrea laughs. "Ba'al we came to make you a deal."
"Your heads?" Ba'al laughs.
"Sorry, it's something better. Teal'c would you slide him the contracts." Teal'c slides the contracts across the floor. "I'm offering you a chance to destroy Anubis's new ship and you will receive all that is Yu's upon his death if you help us..."
"God's cannot die!" Ba'al declares rising out of his chair again.
"They can." Teal'c answers back.
"Never mind that!" Andrea sighs. "So Ba'al are you in?"
"When?" Ba'al asks looking at the contracts.
"Tomorrow!" Andrea says tapping her right foot.
"I accept." Ba'al answers. "How do I know you will keep your word?"
"That's what the contracts are for." Andrea says not really expecting him to understand earth terms.
"I will prepare now." Ba'al says then orders his Jaffa to prepare.
"Then we will take our leave." Andrea turns. "Teal'c let's go I will see your again Ba'al."
Teal'c steps behind her. "Hear me Jaffa," he declares in a booming voice. "We wish to speak with Ba'al your god."
A Jaffa fires his staff weapon at Andrea. The blast is deflected by the shield. "Very stupid." She says smugly. "Teal'c fire a warning shot above his head please."

On another planet Teal'c dials Earth and then walks towards the gate. Seeing that Andrea wasn't following, he stops. "Is something wrong Andrea Milton?"
"I'm not going with you. Please go. I will return to the SGC on my own." Andrea says raising her hood.
"Is that wise?" Teal'c promised to protect her. He wondered what she was doing now.
"Yes, I will see you soon. This is for Colonel O'Neill." Andrea hands him a letter. "Now go before the gate closes."
Teal'c enters the gate and it closes. Andrea dials another gate, waits and then steps through.
"Jack this is for you." Daniel says in a worried tone.
"Daniel can't I celebrate first." Jack whines, taking the note from Daniel.
"O'Neill you do not understand." Teal'c speaks with concern.
"What's going on?" Sam asks walking down the gate ramp.
"Dr. Milton did not return with Teal'c." Jonas says looking at Sam with concern.
"What!" Jack takes the letter and rips it opened.
Dear Colonel O'Neill, Sorry, tell everyone not to worry, but I have to do something. I know I'm cryptic. You'll be pleased when I return. Also Thor will help me return. I'm bringing someone you know home.
Andrea
"What does it say Jack?" Daniel asks taking the letter.
"Not much. She says she's doing something important and she's bringing back someone we know, that's it." Jack looks angry and distressed.
"I guess we wait." Daniel relaxes and leaves.
"Is it me or did he just accept that way too easily?" Sam asks everyone.
"He did." All reply

"Hey Kawalsky, have you been behaving." Andrea asks smiling walking up to Kawalsky who is sitting on a log.
"You bet! What took you so long?" Kawalsky asks standing up and opening his arms for a hug.
"I had to take care of some business. Where is Martouf?" Andrea asks hugging him tightly.
"This way." Kawalsky walks towards the temple.
"Good, then we can get ready and go home." Andrea grins anticipating the look on everyone's face.
