A/N: Hey guys! So sorry this took so long to get back to, but I have been really busy recently with end of the year stuff and school. Not to mention the outlet beside my computer randomly blew up last night and I couldn't get the computer back up for hours. Anyway, here is another chapter for you. R&R! and THANX SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!!!! ---Loo

As the group settled into their chairs in the briefing room, Thalia continued to look around in awe. Everything was so different when you were actually there and not just viewing it. The chairs were very comfortable and the desk in front of her was exceptionally shiny. When she could see her reflection in it, she almost giggled. Triss reminded her not to take over unless asked and Thalia grudgingly agreed. There were so many questions to ask!

"Now, Triss, I understand you would like to see our world. Is that correct?" General Hammond asked, looking at the host.

"Yes, General. I have viewed Earth for a very long time, but I have decided that I wanted to actually walk on it and view the people up close." Triss answered, feeling Thalia practically jump up and down within her.

"I see. And the weapon that you brought to us…"

"Forgive me General, for interrupting, but I would like to make it clear to you that the device I brought you is not a weapon. It is defense technology." Triss corrected politely.

"That is something I would like to ask about, actually." Daniel spoke up. "Triss, Thalia said that the muses do not help nor hinder the Goa'uld. Is that not what this device does? Hinder?"

"We do not try to stop the Goa'uld from achieving their goals, even though we do disagree with them. However, we believe in being able to defend yourself. These devices were created during that short time that the Goa'uld tried to obliterate us, in defense to their attacks through the Stargate. However, now that they do not attack us, we have no need for them. Since Thalia and I have come to know your people, we have decided to let you have the device in order to protect yourselves. It cannot be turned into a weapon, and I warn you that if you try to make it into one, there will be stiff consequences to pay." Triss finished with a serious glare toward all at the table.

"I assure you that will not happen, Triss." Hammond assured her. Triss bowed her head in acceptance of his word and he continued. "Now, about your stay here and seeing our world. There will be certain rules to follow, and I hope you can appreciate our weariness to your presence here."

"I can, General." Triss nodded.

"Good. Now, you will only be allowed to go out during the day. At night, you will stay here in a secured room. When you are outside of this facility, SG1 will be your escorts. You will not have access to any weapons. Finally, you will be allowed to stay here for 4 days. Are there any questions?" He asked. SG1 shook their heads, but Triss paused for a moment, then nodded again.

"Thalia would like to ask something, General." She said and bowed her head. A second later, she lifted it and her eyes glowed briefly.

"Hello, General. I am Thalia." Came the unmistakable Goa'uld voice. The General visibly stiffened.

"What is it that I can answer for you?" he asked.

"I would like to know where we are going to go during the light hours of your world. I am anxious to see the humans that reside here."

"I'm not sure how much exposure you will have to the humans of this world outside of this facility. As for where exactly you will go, I will leave that to SG1 to decide. I trust they will use caution in their choices." The general answered, the last pointed toward his flagship team.

"Yes, sir." Jack nodded.

"Thank you, General. I will allow Triss to take over now." Thalia said and bowed her head. Triss looked back up and smiled.

"When shall we start?" she asked, bubbily

A/N: Ok, now the fun can begin. I still am unsure exactly where this will go, so if you have suggestions- please feel free to announce them to me! R&R!!! ---Loo
