ok... u guys got to understand this... from this chapter to chapter 31, i wrote between 1:00 - 4:30 am this morning... so they may be a little odd.. so uh, don't mind me... i think its okay, but i dont know... do tell!

He bravely stepped up to the table side and hopped on. Daniel sent a look of fear through his eyes and to Jack, Teal'c, Sam, and Ammut. She noticed.

"My poor child, do not be afraid. It is a gift to give and receive it proudly!" Daniel nodded and gulped. The three others were too mortified and scared to do anything. Had they been full adults, one: they wouldn't have been alive, but two: one of them would have tried to take Daniel's place. The children in them were scared shitless.

Daniel lay down on the table and turned over unto his stomach. One last look went to his friends and the Goa'uld was lowered. Ammut stopped and told her jaffa to get the remaining kids out of the room.

"Daniel!" Sam muttered in protest and fright. A brief smile lit his face.

"Sam…" He nodded to them all and lay still again. A curtain was drawn so that Jack, Sam, and Teal'c couldn't see Daniel. So help him…

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Daniel's screams rang out and Sam looked away. The room suddenly quieted. Their old friend was now a Goa'uld. Ammut stepped out looking proud with Daniel at her side. Daniel looked rather regal too. They all hoped that maybe she'd missed… or Ammut had stopped the process of implantation.

All hopes disappeared when Daniel's eyes glowed a brilliant yellow. Not only that, but the creepy Goa'uld voice kicked in too.

"Puny little Tau'ri… kree!"

SG-1 rolled their eyes and froze. They'd all just realized that Daniel could give them away as SG-1. How come he hadn't yet? A question to ponder when Daniel wasn't a freaking gould. At any rate, Ammut shuttled them all back to their quarters.

So, once again, Jack, Sam, Teal'c, and Daniel were together, except Daniel wasn't Daniel. The three of them stayed in one corner of the room while Daniel sulked in the other. Jack even made cat-calls at him.

"Hey, so why aren't you boasting your Goa'uld ass off? Eh? You got one of us! Aren't you pleased?" It didn't work. "Daniel" just sat there.

"What an odd Goa'uld," Sam noticed. Jack and Teal'c nodded.

"Indeed. He has not boasted his accomplishments yet. Very strange indeed."

"Well, he's a gould with a missing tooth." At this the two humans snickered and a touch of a smile lit Teal'c's face. Several times, the gould made to go talk, but then didn't. Jack wondered what it would say. It was quite strange to have a non-talkative Goa'uld. It was against their MO.

The gould merely moved around, shuffled to get comfortable and settled again. None of them moved towards it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ammut came back midday. At least that's what it said on Jack's watch. She came with provisions for them all. Daniel seemed to get the most attention. The colonel was all heated up about Ammut implanting Daniel and was going to say something, but Sam made him keep his mouth shut. So he fumed instead.

"How are you my darlings?"

"Fine."

"Peachy."

"Content."

And a nod.

This gould really was non-talkative! That's something to report home about. Hey, the Daniel-Go'auld never said a word! For about an hour they sat in silence with Daniel secluded.

Sam tried cajoling it this time. "Hey you. You have control over all of Daniel's memories and feelings, how come you haven't told her about us?" The gould merely looked up at her with an expression of intense sadness. Carter was thrown off course at the expression. Was that Daniel or the gould? Hard to tell.

With a sudden and violent click all the power in the ship died. Ship wide power outage, interesting. The three huddled together unknowingly. A slow raspy voice spoke from the depths of the room.

"And what if I was to tell you that I'm not a Goa'uld."
