Happy reading
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift up lifting rush,
Of quite birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I not am there, I did not die"
Chapter 5
SGC
"Incoming Wormhole!" Shouted Lieutenant Walter Siler, "Recieving IDC sir,... it's the Tok'Ra." he stated at the now present General Hammond "Open the Iris, Lieutenant." As Siler put his hand on the hand scanning device that opened the iris he noticed how old and worn out the General looked. Was it because of the stress of finding and training a new 2IC for the base? The General had been at the base for most of the 10 years, waiting, hoping that with the next gate activation they would find him. That he would be okay... Siler's thoughts were interupted as Jacob Carter and two other Tok'Ra abassadors came through and looked up at and through the blast window with regret...almost the look of one soul who's tired and who's soul has secretly given up.
As Jacob led the way to the briefing room where SG1 were already waiting. SG1 had almost made it second nature to go to the briefing room each time claxons went off in the base... not that they hadn't before Jack was MIA, but that the thought that there might be news of Jack would finally be found.
Jacob hated comming with no news, even worse for the favor the Tok'ra wanted him to ask George.
In the briefing room Jacob reluctently almost regretfully informed them that they had heard or found any trace of the Colonel, and then even more reluctenly told them of the favor the Tok'ra wanted. They wanted Hammond to send a few SG Teams to help them with a mission to destroy a newly built Goa'uld mothership... that was infused with Asguard technology. "They said that they would await your decision George." "Dismissed,"ordered General Hammond "and Jacob, I will get back to you with my answer."
Jacob had to run to keep up with his daughter but when he did he gently grabbed her shoulder and gave her a big hug. "Sam, are you all right? I know how much you wanted to hear good news. There are only 5 more planets to search. The Nox told us that he is still alive, they also told us that he has moved. They say that he should be found soon, they are taking an active part in the search now." Jacob could see the small jewells of tears forming in his daughter's eyes, "I know how much he meant to you, but don't you think it's time for you to move on Sam? It's been what now...almost 11 years?"
Sam involuntarily stepped back and looked up at her father with hatred in her eyes.
" You barely even knew him dad. All you knew is that he has a big heart and an even bigger mouth. He is a superb soldier and an even better friend and CO, You know almost nothing about him!" Sam hadn't even bothered to even try to stop the now unchecked tears flowing down her face."When was the last time you bothered to get to know anyone here on earth? Did you actually try to get to know him? Or were you to focused on how he looked at me?" Jacob started, if all this were true then he'd been calling the wrong person an ass. Come to think of it, ever since he had come to know the Tok'ra he'd been paying less and less attention to earth and it's people other than his beloved son, Mark, and his wonderful daughter, Sam. "...Sam..." "Dad, I don't want to hear it. I know alright." Jacob stood there as she ran off. shouldn't we go after her? "No Selmac, she isn't ready to move on yet."
An hour later Daniel and Teal'c both walked into the locker/shower room and found Sam there.

" This is the time for the women..." Teal'c and Daniel both look around and see no other women there besides Sam. "Uh Sam, you are the only one in here besides us." Daniel moves around and places himself on the bench next to Sam while Teal'c sat on the other side of her. "Sam we heard about your conversation with your dad..." Sam's head shot toward Daniel and a new trail of tears started down her face." Daniel... He never gave up on you. Ascended or otherwise. He beat himself up after each time. How can I give up on him. He's the best damn CO I've, we've ever had." Daniel and Teal'c realized that they probly weren't the best possible canidates to help her on this but they did know Jack. "Sam I know we really aren't the best people to help you with this but, Jack wouldn't want you to forget him. He also would want to see you like this, you know how much he cared about you. He would have wanted you to remember him and his strengths and always, always move on."

Sam looks up with a spark in her eyes. "Daniel...do you remember when the gate activated but no one came through but we did hear 9 sounds?" Daniel looked at her, but it was Teal'c who spoke. " I believe I do Samantha Carter." " Well what if they weren't just sounds? What if they were a signal?" "To attack?" "No, for help!" Daniel and Teal'c looked at each other with wonder and excitement. "An SOS!" All three then look at each other again, but it is Daniel to break the look of excitement with a face of remorse. "Sam, that was almost 6 years ago. And even if we could find the planet, the Nox said he's gone to another, so how can we find him now?"
