That's when the big bad Anubis came gliding in. An entrance to be sure, but it didn't impress nano-SG-1. They'd seen the over-the-top gould stuff before. All of it. Flanked by his First Prime, Anubis sat in the throne awaiting him. He looked down at the children and laughed. Yes, Anubis actually laughed.

"Puny Tau'ri children, what do you hope to accomplish here?" His First Prime chuckled a little too at the children groveling at his lord's feet. Pitiful excuses for lifeforms. The First Prime stood as tall as he possibly could. Jack and Daniel noticed this. Jack rolled his eyes and Daniel followed. Carter, seeing the men, no… boys were antsy, jabbed them with her elbows.

Daniel stood up and delivered his sermon, well Djari did. "My lord, we have come to seek protection in your service."

"Can these groveling children face me?" Heh, no problem. SG-1 and looked into the mask of Anubis with no fear. "I feel you do not fear me. Is it ignorance or bravery?" O'Neill had mastered the child for now and his adult self took over.

"Maybe a little of both?" he suggested. Djari looked ashamed all of a sudden. Daniel's face rapidly turned to a face of fear for his friend. Anubis was silent.

"Some fire in this one." He opened up his ribbon device and blasted Jack across the room and pinned him against the wall.

"Ow," Jack whispered. Anubis dropped his hand, allowing the colonel to fall to the floor. "That hurt."

Sam ran over to Jack as did Teal'c. "Sir, are you okay?"

"Yeah major… just… peachy," Jack said as he strained to get up. Daniel stood impassively next to Anubis.

"My lord, these ones are to be used as hosts like this host was."

"By whom?"

"One of your minor goddesses, Ammut."

"Ah, Ammut feels they need a trial."

"Yes my lord."

"Tau'ri, kree!" They came scampering back almost immediately. "My lord, we must go, but…" The four of them whipped out their weapons so fast, Anubis didn't have a chance of getting his shield up before they got shots off. They rolled out flash-bangs and smoke bombs and got out of there. The jaffa blindly shot into the din. Teal'c smiled at their stupidity.

The four children ran to the rings at full tilt. The jaffa guarding the rings was apprehensive. Why had they been running?

"We are charges of Ammut. We are being pursued by rebel forces!" The jaffa hit the panel and ringed them away. He waited for those "rebel forces" to appear.

Well, they never did.

SG-1 made it safely back onto Ammut's ship though. They had never felt safe on a Goa'uld mothership until now. Ammut herself came running towards them and walked them all to their quarters. When the door shut, Daniel handed over his weapon to Jack and sat with them on the wall.

"Jack, I should tell you something," Daniel began. "Ammut was the devourer of the dead. Which means she stood for good in a sense. One chance and if you weren't good and blew it, well, you were fed to Ammut. If mythology is correct, as it has been, then she'll only be nice until we do something wrong against her."

"And then?"

"And then? There would be no 'and then' Sam. We'd be toast!"

"Oh," Sam muttered unhappy.

"The attack went well O'Neill, congratulations."

"Many thanks T." There was a long pause. "So Daniel, now that you got a snake in your head, what does it feel like?"

"Weird. I don't want her, but she's good," he stumbled to explain. "Um, let Djari tell you about her life and I'll just listen in the background, okay?"
