"Carter. Watch out!" Yelled O'Neill as he spotted a Jaffa sneaking up on her. "Teal'c!"

At once, Teal'c swung around and fired his staff weapon, narrowly missing Daniel's neck, killing the enemy Jaffa. Again he fired. And again.

"T, I think it's dead."

"It is not that one, O'Neill, there are more advancing towards us from over the hill. I believe they wish to stop us from boarding Set'nak's vessel."

"Ya think?! Alright, everybody down!" The CO ordered, throwing a rifle to the archaeologist.

"Sir, I think these are nearly half of Set'nak's ground forces, we'll easily be able to over-run them", called Carter to her boss.

"How do you figure that?" he replied.

"Well, Sir, Jaffa foot soldiers are normally sent out in small groups, half the size of this one, why would Set'nak send out such a large force in one go, if he didn't have many more? I suppose he thought he'd get rid of us without losing many men."

"The Major is correct, O'Neill. Set'nak must feel threatened by us." Teal'c said.

"OK. Well, if we have to take them out, fire at will!"

"Yes, Sir!" yelled Carter, reloading.

Teal'c fired his staff weapon, while Daniel took cover and kind-of snipered them off. Carter and the Colonel took out four or five in turn, while using leap-frog formation to get closer to the ship. Daniel and Teal'c followed suit and soon enough Carter was attempting to open a door.

"Teal'c, can you giver her a hand over there?" O'Neill said, knowing he had more expertise at this sort of thing, being former First Prime of Apophis and all. "I'll cover you."

"Jack, maybe I could help more over there then here", inquired Daniel.

"Yeah". O'Neill considered it. Then a small group of Jaffa appeared. "Carter! Get back here. Daniel's gonna take your place!" he yelled over his shoulder, and started firing as the two swapped places.

It was only a matter of time before they had eliminated the threat from any more immediate attacks and were inside the ship. O'Neill faced his Zat'nico'tel at the lop-sided symbol used to shut the door. He fired twice.

"That'll keep 'em busy for a while", he muttered.

"Yes O'Neill, but we will have to move on from this corridor very soon".

"Yeah, alright. Let's move out!"

They walked for a while, dodging some Jaffa, until the team came across some pillars, forming a hidden corridor behind them. Quickly, they ducked behind them.

"OK. Here's what we do. Normally, when we split up, one military trained..person, goes with each pair", said O'Neill.

"So what's different today?" asked Carter.

"Nothing".

Carter rolled her eyes.

"Teal'c, Carter, find that drug. Get a sample, then meet Daniel and me at the gate. We're gonna plant some C4 as a precaution then find the gate. We should be there before you so we'll radio in and let you guys know where it is. Keep in radio contact, understood?" O'Neill added sternly.

His team nodded.

"Good."

They all filled out the details of their plan before parting ways. O'Neill watched until his 2IC and favourite Jaffa were out of site before indicating towards a kind of passage opposite them. It looked like it went up, to another level of the ship. He jogged over to it before motioning to Daniel that all was clear and to follow. Together they made their way up the passage, sticking close to the walls, in the shadows. After a short while they saw a distant opening in front of them. Jack went to the left of the doorway, Daniel to the right. A clunk clunk of Jaffa footsteps approached. The duo armed themselves, like lions stalking their prey, ready to pounce.

The dark shadow of the distinct Jaffa armour rounded the corner. O'Neill nodded to his partner, readying himself for the upcoming battle. Suddenly, O'Neill grabbed the soldier around the neck, aimed a Zat gun at his chest, and fired, twice. The CO let the limp body fall to the floor and went on to the next enemy. Daniel had shot a second Jaffa as his Colonel grabbed the first. Daniel may not be military trained, but he knew how to use his pistol when he had to, mostly from experience. Unfortunately, the sounds of unfamiliar weapons being fired caught the attention of the other four or five soldiers, if the first attack hadn't done so.

Jack spun around and jumped over his previous victim to face the incoming opponents. The enemy soldiers were invading the small corridor. Daniel quickly dodged out into the open hallway ahead and opened fire, at anything that was trying to shoot him. O'Neill continued firing his Zat with such precise aim. Shoot one once, then another once, then kill one that's trying to kill Daniel, then the first two again. The first shot cripples, a second kills, and a third shot from the lethal energy weapon disintegrates the victim. Daniel took out his fair share and after a short bloody battle, he found himself walking around disintegrating people for insurance.

"Sometimes I hate being superior to them, you know?"

Jack nodded and smiled.

"So how was your day Danny-boy?" he asked.

"Oh you know. Same old, same old".

He flashed a grin in Jack's direction and continued down the hallway with him. They soon found another all clear around a bend, and ended up staring at an archway to their right. A garing golden glow was radiating from the room within.

"What dya think it is Daniel?"

"I guess it's where they keep their sarcophagus. It's glowing so it's probably in use."

"OK. So we'll sit tight and wait for it to..not be in use. K?" Daniel nodded and made himself comfortable behind some of those oh-so- useful pillars. O'Neill followed suit.

"After that we'll plant the C3 and 4. Especially the C3", then, when the Colonel saw his comrades blank expression to his statement, he added, "It's stronger".

***

Carter and Teal'c managed to find a lab without running into any trouble. They entered the deserted room cautiously.

"Major Carter".

She turned to face Teal'c.

"We must act quickly. The Goa-uld seldom leave such important laboratories unguarded for a large amount of time, and now that Set'nak is aware that we may be aboard his ship, he will have his valuables attended to immediately."

Sam nodded her aknowledgement.

"And if this is the right lab, then those guards will be here soon".

Just then, her radio crackled to life.

"Carter, Teal'c. Where are you?"

"We are at a laboratory on the first level O'Neill", responded Teal'c.

"Yeah, we shouldn't be more than half an hour before we reach the gate. Any idea where it is yet Sir?" Carter added.

"Nope! But Danny and I are about to plant some explosives on Set'nak's sarcophagus, when he's out of it. There's too many guards with him right now. The ship's only small, two levels. Either way, it shouldn't take much to find the gate. We'll keep you updated."

"Yes, Sir", replied Carter.

"O'Neill, out."

His voice disintegrated into static once more.

"OK", Carter looked at Teal'c, "Let's go find us this drug!"

***

O'Neill and Daniel waited and waited. Finally, Set'nak arose from his sleep and he and his entourage exited the room, past them. When the fottsteps died away, Daniel and Jack made their way into the room, somewhat skirting around the great, golden structure. Daniel began planting and couple of doses of C4 alternatively to the Colonel's C3 around the walls, up in little nooks and crannies, out of site. Then O'Neill slapped a package of C3 on the side of the sarcophagus, just for good measure. The team faced each other and smiled at the job well done.

But then..

"Tau're, kre".
