"Dial the Tok'ra." Jack ordered as he marched into the control room.

"Colonel?" Davis who was sat at the control panel questioned.

"Dial whatever planet the Tok'ra are on right now. That's an order."

"Yes sir." Davis said as he started the process to connect the gate to the Tok'ra planet.

"What the hell is going on?" Brinkman who had been left in charge of the base for the day asked coming the stairs into the control room. "Sgt why is the gate active?"

"Because I ordered him to." Jack replied.

"Jack, I didn't see you there. Where are you dialling?" Brinkman asked.

"The Tok'ra." Jack replied.

"Why? There were no scheduled contacts on the list for today."

"Sam has a retrovirus and Janet thinks her best chance is if we can contact Jacob and see if the Tok'ra have a solution." Jack explained.

"There isn't a cure on Earth?" Brinkman questioned.

"There is but it would kill her."

"What?" He exclaimed.

"The whole Jollinar thing changed her blood chemistry she's has bad reactions to a lot of drugs now. Including the cure for retrovirus. Janet has some doctor who deals with viruses come in to see if they can find an alternative but it doesn't look good."

"Chevron seven locked." Davis said. "Wormhole established."

"This is Colonel Jack O'Neill. If anyone can hear me please respond."

A few moments later there was a crackle before the response.

"This is Jelan of the Tok'ra."

"Okay Jelan. Is Jacob ... Selmak around?"

"He is in a meeting of the high council."

"Can you pull him out it's important that I speak to him right now?" Jack asked.

"Once the high council is in session they can not be disturbed."

"Even if his daughter's life is in danger?" Jack yelled.

"I'm sorry Colonel, but they can not be interrupted. I can let him know that you wish to speak to him as soon as they are finished."

Jack thumped his hand on the desk.

"When will that be?"

"At this time that is unknown."

"Sgt." Jack said to another Sgt who was in the room. "Get me a vest, radio, zat and a GDO ASAP."

"Yes sir." The Sgt hurried off to do as instructed.

"What are you planning Jack?" Brinkman asked.

"I'm going to pay my in-laws a little visit." Jack replied.

"Jack, I know you're worried about Sam, but you need to think about this logically. Jacob may be your father-in-law but you can't just storm in there by yourself."

"Fine." Jack picked up the phone that allowed him to speak over the base tannoy system. "SG-1 gear up and report to the gate room ASAP. SG-1 gear up and report to the gate room ASAP." He repeated then hung up.

"That wasn't exactly what I meant Jack." Brinkman said.

"That's the way it's going to go down." Jack replied. "I'm going to fill Janet in on what's happening then. I'm leaving."

"What's going on Jack?" Daniel asked as he and Teal'c entered the gate room. "I thought you were in the infirmary with Sam."

"She has a retrovirus and Janet says we need Jacob's help. He's in a meeting so I thought we'd pay a little visit and pull him out." Jack replied.

"Is that wise O'Neill?" Teal'c asked.

"I'm going whether you come or not is up to you." Jack said before striding up the ramp and through the gate.

Teal'c looked at Daniel who shrugged, before they both followed him.
