Daniel read through the night and only stopped when he heard the alert at his door go off. Someone was outside wanting in. He knew it wasn't any of the lower servants since they used hidden passageways through out the base to avoid detection. Clearing his throat, he stood and padded over to the door, speaking the release code and letting it slide open. A Jaffa stood at the door and he bowed when he saw Daniel. "Lord Baal wishes for me to inform you that your services will not be needed today." With those words out the Jaffa turned and disappeared down the hall. Frowning, Daniel stepped back into his room and let the door close, not bothering to enact the security feature since it was day light and there was no need. He moved about the room, gathering his clothes. He stripped out of his light sleeping outfit and into his heavier leather one. Baal never refused Daniel's service unless something important was going on and he knew better than to poke around so he'd spend the days in the Hall of Knowledge trying to figure out how several ancient devices, that Baal had, worked. Smiling, he made his way out of his room and down the corridor towards the room which was labeled the Hall of Knowledge. But he would never make it there for on the way he is pulled into a side room by a unknown force.
Samantha Carter and Teal'c had been hiding in Baal's secret base for hours waiting for the right moment to make their move. A Tok'ra spy had granted them access without detection and all that they had left to do was find out where the shield generator was located. But in order to do that they needed someone who knew the inside of the base well. One of Baal's Jaffa or personal servants. They finally got their break just after sun up when a man happened down the corridor that they were hiding in. Sam grabbed him and yanked him into the nearby empty room. She placed her hand over his mouth as Teal'c pressed in the code that would shut and seal the doors. She then began to recite the well rehearsed speech to try and convince the slave to give them the information in return for his freedom. "My name is Colonel Samantha Carter and I am from the planet Earth. We will not hurt you. All we wish to know is the location of the shield generator. In return for your help, we will take you away from here and you may regain your freedom." Her words were quiet but full of determination. Teal'c said nothing, only kept watch at the door incase someone got it open.
Daniel kept his head down after hearing the voice of the last person he ever wanted to hear or see again. He only raised it enough to glance at Teal'c. "Shol'va" He hissed out as he glared at the other man. His voice was full of hate and very convincing. He swallowed as he moved back away from them until his back touched the wall. "You have come through the Chaapa'ai?" He eyed them as he spoke quietly. His voice cracked do to years of not speaking his native tongue.
Teal'c seemed to stiffen at the mention of Shol'va but he ignored it and turned his attention back to the door. "Yes, we have come from a place called Earth." She caught a glance at the mark on his forehead. "Baal is not a God. The Goa'uld are not Gods. They are parasites. They pretend to be Gods so that they may invoke fear in the lives of many." This wasn't working out as planned.
Daniel was fighting the urge to call for help. Baal was his master no matter what they said. He knew the truth and yet he accepted it. "My master is a God. Your lies hold no bearing here. Leave. Take the Shol'va and return through the Chaapa'ai and I might stay quiet. If you stay you'll have to face the wraith of my God, Baal!" His eyes seemed to flash with anger.
Sam eyed the man in front of her. He seemed familiar like she had met him somewhere before. "What is your name?" She, again, kept her voice to whisper level as she tried to get a good look at his face.
Panic seemed to feel his eyes as he tried to think of a name to tell her. "Day'nel." He stated, simply. "I am personal servant to my God and your time has run out." He raised his head in defiance as he locked eyes with Sam, making sure she got a good look at his face before he began to scream. "KREE JAFFA! KREE JAFFA!" He yelled out before Sam placed a hand over his mouth but by that time it was to late.
Three Jaffa worked outside of the room trying to get the doors open and after a few moment it opened and they rushed in. First thing they noticed was the struggling Daniel, favored servant of their master. Frowning the first Jaffa took aim at the two but was blasted with a staff from the hidden Teal'c before he could get any shots off. The other two retreated out into the hallway and began to call for assistant. As they did this alarms began to blare throughout the base. Within seconds ten more Jaffa appeared all heavily armed with staff weapons. They entered slowly and forced Teal'c to kneel after they all made sure to call him Shol'va. Five stayed around Teal'c to make sure he stayed in place as the other six surrounded Carter and Daniel. "Aray Kree, stay where you are. Release that man." The obvious leading ranking Jaffa barked out. Six staff weapons were aimed at her.
She couldn't believe her eyes. The slave that they stumbled upon was none other than MIA Daniel Jackson. What luck for them to stumble upon him here. In a hidden base of Baal? "Daniel?" She questioned just in time to be surrounded by heavily armed Jaffa. She swallowed and lowered her P-90 while releasing Daniel. She couldn't believe that he scream, for Jaffa none the less. She then held up her hands in a gesture of surrender. She was then lead out of the room with three Jaffa in front and behind her.
Teal'c watched as Colonel Carter was escorted from the room and turned his attention to the Jaffa guarding him. "My brothers, hear me. You can taste freedom such as I have..." He didn't get to finish since one of the Jaffa slammed him across the face with the butt end of the staff weapon. "Shol'va Ai'emain, rise!" Teal'c climbed to his feet and offered no reaction as he was lead from the room.
Daniel watched as his two former friends were escorted from the room. He knew that they would be taken to the holding center. He bowed his head to the Jaffa, a sign of thanks and respect. This had been a close one. He'd have to be more careful now that the base was no longer secret and the planet no longer unknown.
