StargateFan: Oh... it's an mothership! (notices Kayla lurking around chapters and charges) MY chapters! Payne N. Uranus: Aww, thanks! And I like Ziva a lot but I do miss Kate. I couldn't believe they killed her off.
All you awesome who liked the last chapter... (big hugs and autographed pictures of SG-1)
Hope you like this one!
"Daniel, take Carter to the infirmary, Teal'c you help him. I'll alert the President."
Sam glared at Jack. "Why do I have to go to the infirmary?" she said in a whining voice.
Daniel stared at her. This was definitely not Sam.
Jack inhaled sharply then fixed a patient expression on his face. "Because I said so."
She frowned. "I don't need to see Carmichael."
"Ah, but I said you do."
"Jack, I really don't think-"
Jack's head shot up. "As you are currently my second-in-command, it is appropriate to address me as 'General' or 'Sir'."
She flinched as if she had been slapped. Jack instantly regretted his words but it was too late.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'll report to the infirmary right away." Giving him a mock salute, she stormed away.
"JACK!" Daniel hissed, "How could you do that to her? She hasn't been 'back' for a week!"
Jack groaned. "Not now Daniel. Not now."
"But-"
"NO! Shoo!"
Daniel promptly 'shooed'. Teal'c remained, his eyebrow raised to an impossible height.
"What?" Jack muttered.
"I have said nothing O'Neill."
"It's the look T," he grumbled. "You quirk one eyebrow, raise the other and stare at me."
Teal'c stared at him. "I see."
Jack scowled at him. "Spit it out T."
The Jaffa gave him a peculiar glance. "Will you never tell Colonel Carter of your feelings for her?"
And before Jack could reply, he vanished.

Carter, inwardly seething, politely thanked the Doctor and hurried to her lab. Three hours later, she had completed a weeks worth of projects. Daniel had appeared and offered to take her 'to the surface' for coffee. She had declined and was now regretting it. She needed sugar.
As if it was magic, a goblet of blue jell-o appeared. She looked up."Thanks."
"You are welcome Colonel Carter."
She pushed open a drawer and rummaged around for a spoon. "Do you need something?" she asked pulling out a slightly dusty spoon.
The Jaffa's silence spoke volumes. She blew off the dust. He continued to study her.
"What is it?" she mumbled.
"Have you and O'Neill not discussed your feelings?"
She promptly sprayed blue jell-o across the report that had taken her a half-an-hour to write. "WHAT?"
He continued to look at her.
"I uh," she stopped. "I..."
"Anubis."
The 'man' turned around. "Tau'ri," he spat. "You are from Earth- part of SG-1." He spat out each word.
"Indeed."
"You think you have stopped me?" he hissed.
She shrugged.
"Ha'tak vessels still approach earth; they will be there in mere days, few more then a week," he taunted.
She gave him a queer smile. "Your mother ships will not make it to my world."
He laughed a harsh, cruel sound. "Who will stop me, you?"
"Yes."
As she began to fight him, she found herself swept into darkness...
"Colonel Carter!"
The imperative voice made her awake from her reverie with a shudder.
"Teal'c!" she gasped.
"What is it?" he asked.
"They're coming. Teal'c, they're coming...the Ha'tak vessels will reach earth in two days."
And with that, she blacked out.

Carter thought as her eyes opened that if she ever heard the 'beeping' noises that always seemed to fill the infirmary, it'd be too soon.
"DOC!" her CO's voice called. "She's awake!"
"Well spotted, oh Lord of the obvious," she muttered sitting up.
Jack gave her a questioning glance that she ignored. "What am I doing here?" she muttered.
"You reveled to me that mother ships approached and then you fell at my feet-"
"Carter..." Jack scolded, "Pick a guy whose age difference is... less..."
She glared at him which made him wisely shut up.
Daniel wanted to shake the two of them in turn. Right now was NOT a time for bickering like two year olds... Teal'c obviously agreed.
The Doctor bustled over and pronounced her fine. After a minute of pleading, she was allowed to leave. Everyone congregated in Sam's lab
"So, Teal'c said that you said that the mother ships are here, well almost here," Daniel began when Sam's eyes closed suddenly.
"Sam?" he asked uncertainly.
"What have you done?"
Sam sighed. "Oma, I had too. I can not let my planet suffer-"
"I must descend you... or the others will."
Only days ago, that would have made her rejoice. "Oma, no!"
"I thought it was your wish."
"I need to destroy those vessels fir-"
"Is she passed out?" Daniel demanded.
Jack slapped her lightly. "No, I-"
"Ironic isn't it," Carter said quietly opening her eyes, "We both were descended because we tried to save another world. We humans have a pretty bad track record."
They all gaped at her.
"I know what to do."
"You... do..." Jack half stated, half asked.
"Yes. We getthe ZPM, go to Antarctica and activate the weapon."
"Carter..." Jack said slowly. "We don't HAVE a ZPM."
"I know where to get one."
"You do," Daniel and Jack exclaimed simultaneously.
She nodded. "Ancient Egypt."
This will be taking a slight Mobeius twist, but even if you haven't seen the episode (which you should! Part 2 rocks) it should still make sense.
Hope you liked it and PLEASE review.
Daniela (WarmTea) once again beta'd, all hail Dorothy!
