I did explain why this is so late but in case you didn't read my latest
excuses then here they are again.
My dad banned me off the internet until I got a job, as if I don't have enough to do, I spent the first week of my holiday at a classical summer school, separated from my laptop! (

"We should really get one of those things for the SGC," Jack commented stepping out of the sarcophagus.
"You are well once again," Teal'c said.
"Yeah," Jack agreed, "how about you T? That's a nasty looking shoulder wound."
Teal'c glanced down at his own injured shoulder. The hole burnt into his black T-shirt was large than the wound itself. Blood had soaked into the material making it cling to the left side of his chest but it now appeared to have clotted.
"I was fired upon by one of the Jaffa holding me captive," Teal'c explained, "it is not serious."
Jack did a good imitation of Teal'c, raising both of his eyebrows sceptically.
"This isn't one of those Jaffa things when you say you're okay and then collapse from blood loss halfway to the gate is it?" Jack asked.
"This is not one of those occasions O'Neill," Teal'c answered.
"Um, guys, shouldn't we be moving?" Daniel asked.
He was standing on one side of the only door into the room. Sam was at the other side, ready to fight if anyone came through. They had retrieved their weapons and other equipment before entering the sarcophagus room.
"Nephthys' Jaffa may locate us at any moment," Teal'c agreed.
"Hey, has anyone else noticed that this all seems to be a bit to easy?" Jack asked looking around at his team.
"Yeah," Sam spoke up, taking her attention from the door, "and the Jaffa."
"Their tattoos?" Daniel asked.
Sam nodded.
"Huh?" Jack asked.
"You haven't noticed?" Sam asked. He usually did.
"Well I was a little bit busy, ya know."
"Oh," Sam responded. She always hated it when Jack took it upon himself to get beaten up for them all.
"Some of the Jaffa don't have Nephthys symbol on their forehead," Daniel interrupted.
"That is unheard of among the Goa'uld," Teal'c put in.
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Daniel continued, "Anyway, I was thinking that maybe it was a method of identification, a way to tell them apart, or something."
"That is a logical assumption," Teal'c agreed.
"Right," O'Neill interrupted, "enough.assuming. We should get going, we've still go to stop Nephthys evil plan and get back home so."
"Another plan Jack?" Daniel asked.
"No need to be so happy about it," Jack commented, "yes, another plan."
"Because the last one worked so well," Daniel remarked.
"Right," Jack agreed, "well, this is the NEW plan. Me and Sam head out to find Nephthys. Danny and Teal'c set explosives. We meet back at the gate."
Sam nodded. In theory it sounded simple but then so had the last plan.
"Does everyone have 13:52?" Jack asked glancing at his watch.
They all nodded.
"Set the C4 for.14:40," he told Daniel and Teal'c, "that should give us plenty of time. Meet back here at 14:30."
*********************************************************************
"Goddess, they are destroying your creation," Nephthys' First Prime informed her, "should we not stop them?"
"You dare to question my orders!" Nephthys voice boomed, "Have I not warned you once already! You have disobeyed your goddess. You are not fit to serve."
Nephthys took his staff weapon and pointed it at him. The Jaffa bowed his head and began to apologise. Nephthys fired. The Jaffa's body slumped to the ground. She turned to one of the Jaffa behind her.
"You will replace him!" She handed him the staff weapon.
"If you think me worthy."
Nephthys turned and started to leave. She stopped and turned to a woman in a white coat.
"When it is time make it more difficult."
"Of course Goddess."
The woman bowed her head and didn't turn back to her work until Nephthys was gone.
*********************************************************************
"This doesn't seem to be going too well," Jack pointed out, "weren't there supposed to be loads of system lords around here somewhere?"
"Maybe she changed her plans," Sam suggested, "There could be a mother ship in orbit."
Jack glanced at his watch and frowned.
"We've got fifteen minutes."
"Just enough time to get back," Sam said.
"Let's go," Jack turned around.
"But Nephthys."
"I know," he shook his head, and raised the radio to his mouth, "Daniel."
"Jack?" The archaeologist responded slightly out of breath.
"Change of plans, we'll meet back at the 'gate," Jack told him while they kept moving, "if we're not there by 14:35 then leave without us."
"Jack, you know that's not going to happen," the archaeologist sounded impatient.
"Yeah, well it was worth a try."
Jack heard the familiar march of heavy boots and glanced at Sam who nodded. She heard it too, there were a lot of them. They moved swiftly a quietly back down the hall they'd been searching.
The trudge of boots quickened as the Jaffa broke into jog, heading to wards their location. Jack lifted the radio to his mouth once more.
"Danny," he whispered, keeping his weapon focused on the direction of the noise, "we've got a Jaffa problem here. Lay the C4 then secure the 'gate."
"We have a little problem of our own," Daniel responded in the same hushed tone.
Great. There's no Jaffa for hours and then hundreds come along at once. He shoved the radio back and gave Sam the signal for retreat.
