Summoned to General Hammond's office Colonel Jack O'Neill knocked on the door and waited for the call to enter.
"Come in" the two star General and commander of the SGC called out from within his office.
"You rang sir?" Jack said as he confidently strode inside, his usual grin prominently displayed on his face, although to the General it seemed forced.
"Sit down Jack," the older man said with a saddened air as he leaned back in his comfortable leather chair while he set a folder down on his desk. "Airman Connors was found murdered last night," He said with a sigh.
Jack's mouth firmed into an angry frown, "are their any leads?"
General Hammond nodded, "Yes, but the Police didn't know what to make of it. There was a message carved into his body in Gould. I had one of the other doctors translate it. All it said was, 'You will all be destroyed.'
"CRAP!" Jack exclaimed and muttered a curse as he stood up and began to pace, "@%#$*ing Osiris! Sorry sir" he murmured contritely yet in a distracted manner as he realized he just cursed in his CO's office.
"It's understandable Jack, I had some choice words when I found out myself. Anyway, we've changed all the access codes and the patrol schedules plus we are reissuing all access cards, the new ones use a different format making all of the old cards useless. In fact we're changing things that Airman Connors didn't even have knowledge of . . . just in case. It's the best we can do under the circumstances," General Hammond explained wearily.
"I was wondering why we were all issued new security packs with no explanation, especially when we weren't scheduled for new ones. But why all the secrecy Sir we all ready have the base under alert because of Osiris?" Jack questioned as he sat back down.
Hammond replied, "I'll be informing the appropriate personnel later today but I wanted to talk to you first so you can break things to Doctor Jackson more subtly."
Jack leaned back into his chair and sighed, "I understand sir."
"We've had very little success in tracking her down, until now" the bald General said. "Once it became obvious that she was in Colorado Springs though the FBI was able to backtrack her and find some traces around the fringes of society in town."
"So she's close," Jack stated.
"Actually they don't think that she is anymore Jack," Hammond said with a shake of his head handing Jack an FBI file from on top of his desk.
"What's this Sir?" the graying Colonel said as he flipped through the folder now in his hands.
"The trail in Colorado Springs went cold about the time they believe Airman Connors died. You know how we all feared that Osiris would change hosts, making it that much harder for us to find her? Well as you can see from that file the FBI was able to trace her leaving Colorado Springs but they lost her there. They picked up the trail again in St. Louis and then onto Chicago where they seemed to loose track of her," the Texan replied.
"She's moving east?" O'Neill queried, "Why?"
"Who knows Jack" Hammond sighed and leaned back in his chair.
After a moment Jack mused, "Daniel may be the reason the snake hasn't jumped heads on us yet."
"What do you mean Jack," the General said with a frown.
"Well sir," Jack paused as he tried to gather his thoughts. "She knew Daniel had knowledge of the Gould before and now with whatever she got out of Connors she probably knows everything Connors knew. The Stargate and Daniel's level of involvement, so she may think she can use Daniel's reluctance to hurt her host to her advantage. And so far she's been able to avoid being caught by us anyway so that Ol'Gould ego may be working to our advantage once again."
The General thought for a moment before he nodded, "you may be right Jack, you just may be right." He leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk "I contacted the Tok'Ra earlier when Teal'C had to head to Chulak for his meeting with that new rebel Jaffa faction. I informed them of Osiris's current escapades here on earth."
Hammond could see Jack's ire become raised at the Tok'Ra being involved so he cut off any complaints, as he didn't want to hear about it. "I don't want to hear it Jack we have a treaty with them and we are obligated to tell them about this. It was Jacob that I talked to at any rate and he said he was on his way to visit Major Carter anyway."
"Dad's the one coming? Well that's not so bad I guess. But I still hate the fact that we have to report anything to the Tok'Ra," Jack groused.
"And anyway it will probably be a good time for Major Carter to inform her father of," he coughed uncomfortably here before he continued, "her condition."
"Uhm? If you say so Sir, do you want me to let her know about General Carter coming?" Colonel O'Neill said also uncomfortable with the current turn in the conversation.
"Yes that would be a good idea Colonel, also fill her and Doctor Jackson in on Osiris's recent behavior and see if either of them can think of a reason for her to head east instead of making a move on the Stargate especially when she must know its here."
Jack stood up and nodded "yes sir" while he gave Hammond a lazy salute, "I'll head down to Carter's lab now and see if we can go talk to Danny together."
"That'll be fine Colonel, Dismissed."
"Yes sir," Jack nodded before he left the General's office for Sam's Lab.

End Notes:
Well what did you think? As you can probably tell this is just before the episode "The Serpent's Venom," so that should let you know some of what's coming. But don't forget things have changed so events wont follow their former course.
If you have any questions or comments please let me know and I will see what I can do.
But anyway thanks for all of your encouragement and I really look forward too all of your reviews.
Thank you, Later
