Daniel heard footsteps and looked up. He saw someone beautiful coming with the rest of the team. "Who's that?" he asked.
"This is Nephthys. Nephthys, that's Daniel Jackson," Cameron introduced them.
She bowed. "It is good to meet you, Daniel Jackson."
"Yeah. Same here. Was she the only life?"
"Yeah. Everyone else was wiped out by a plague," Sam informed him.
"Oh. Ok."
"Find anything else, Jackson?" Cameron asked.
"No. Nothing. I guess only Ra, Osiris and- you- lived here."
"Ra and Osiris abandoned this place many centuries ago to take their own planets," Nephthys told them.
"Then this is before Abydos. Fascinating," Daniel said, smiling.
"Yes. Abydos belonged to Ra. Osiris was believed dead by us for some time until I saw her again three years ago. She never claimed a planet. I stayed here. As people came, they believed I was their goddess, but I told them not to worship me," Nephthys said.
"Well, Ra and Osiris are dead now," Daniel told her.
"I figured as much. They were not the best company and never got along with anyone. Your weapons are primitive. I could teach you how to make more advanced weapons."
"Why would you do that?" Sam asked. "We're enemies of the Goa'uld."
"I am a kind of renegade Goa'uld. As I said I asked those who came here not to worship me. I never had Jaffa. I never wanted power or rule over a planet."
"Why didn't you want those things?" Daniel asked her.
"The sarcophagus has a big hand in the greed and power in a Goa'uld. I do not like it."
"Why?"
"I feel my hosts fear of enclosed spaces. I will not go in it."
'You're basically a Tok'ra if you are in sync with your host," Sam said.
"Yes I am, aren't I?"
"Ok. We should get back to the SGC," Mitchell said.
"Wait. I want to stay, keep looking around. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I have to," Sam said.
"Ok. Daniel, take Nephthys back. We'll keep looking around," Mitchell told them.
Daniel dialed the gate. When they got home, Daniel explained everything to General Landry. He agreed to letting Nephthys stay on base and help them.
