Ch11: invisible allies
Daniel walked back to the mess hall and sat down with Jack, Sam, Jacob, Martouf, Anise and Teal'c. Anise was digging into a bowl of jello with a smile on her face. Daniel sat down next to her at the end of the table.
"So did I miss much?" Daniel said as he sat down.
"Anise has had her first taste of jello," Teal'c said with a smile on his face.
"But Marty here hates the taste of it," Jack gave a little glare at Martouf. "How can you not like jello!?" Jack squealed.
"I am sorry if I have offended you colonel, but I just do not like the taste. But I do like this choc chip I-scream," Martouf replied, digging into his ice-cream.
"It's called ice.. cream," Jacob corrected him.
Sam smiled because Martouf looked like a little kid while scoffing the ice- cream.
"So, any updates on Nat?" Jack asked Daniel. Jack noticed that Daniel didn't seem as confused as he did before. Daniel told them about his hopes that Nat is fighting Amaunet.
"We'll head back to the Tok'ra base and come back in two days for Natalie," Jacob replied.
"WHA!? WHY are you taking Nat?" Jack squealed. He plonked his spoon down on the table.
"We want to try out a new-"Anise began but was cut off by Jack.
"NO! No more experiments! Last time u gave us those arm bands that almost got us killed! No more experiments!" Jack complained. Jacob re-assured Jack that Anise has been working on an updated device to remove the Goul'd.
"Dan, what do you think Nat would want?" Sam asked Dan.
Dan shrugged "Nat would probably want to do the same as what the rest of us would do."
"And what's that?" Sam asked.
"Whatever possible to be free," Daniel replied.

"Amaunet."
Amaunet/Natalie sat up in the bed and looked around the cell but didn't see anyone there.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Amaunet said angrily.
"That I cannot. The 'Tauri shall see. But I shall tell you who I am. It is I, Nerti."
Amaunet got up from the bed and walked up to the bars, unsure where to look. "Nerti? Free me!"
"In time.. But first I want to make a deal." The invisible voice said.
"I seem to be making a lot of those lately. What do you want?" Amaunet asked.
"I can free you, but in return I want you to give me all the knowledge you gained from your new host," Nerti explained.
"And why would you want my new knowledge?"
"I heard everything your host said about arriving from the future. I have been hiding myself here for weeks. Ever since they destroyed my army. I have been waiting for the opportune moment to destroy them," Nerti explained.
"Let me guess, this is the opportune moment," Amaunet finished Nerti's sentence. "Agreed. Once you get me out of here, THEN I will provide you with the knowledge of my host," Amaunet explained.
"Agreed. I will let you know when it is the opportune moment to free you." And with that Amaunet was left in silence.
