"Alright, the plan's simple. We're going to walk in and place C4 here, here, here, and here." Jacob said pointing to several places on a holographic map of Manticore.
"Just walk in?" Jack stopped bouncing his tennis ball off the wall, "You couldn't come up with anything better than that?"
"We don't need a fancy plan Jack. We'll be invincible."
"Daniel we don't know for sure how invincible we'll be so just try not to put yourself in any obvious danger, okay?"
"Dad?"
"Yea Sammie." Jacob smiled when she glared at his nick name for her.
"How are the Colonel and Daniel going to disable their attackers? When we were trapped on the inside of Boch's shield. . ."
Jacob waved his hand, cutting her off. "That was part of the modifications. They can fire out, just nothing can come in. But they will be carrying the C4 and we'll take care of any opposition."
"Oh, hey now. I'm not going in with no means of defense." Jack stated.
"Fine, here." Jacob said tossing him a zat then heading to the back of the room.
"We should take out the camera's as we go." Sam said as she slipped a knife in her boot.
"It won't matter if they know where we are." Daniel argued.
"No, she's right. It won't do us any good if they know where we place the C4. They could disarm it before we have it all in place."
"Good call Sam." Jacob praised his daughter as he placed the case he retrieved on the table next to the C4. "And since we're leaving the ship un-manned we're going to ring down in the forest here. I've set the auto pilot to maneuver the ship to outside our exit point."
Jack and Daniel began loading their pockets with blocks of C4 while Jacob slipped on a hand device. Sam looked at her father then to the box he'd retrieved it from. Seeing a second device there she frowned.
"It can't hurt to have an extra. You don't have to use it." Jacob said, knowing his daughters dislike for the weapon. "Are we ready?"
"Oh yea." Jack said, cracking his knuckles.
"Are your shields on?" Jacob watched as everyone checked the devices on their belts.
"Yupp."
Sam slowly reached out toward Daniel, satisfied when her hand came in contacted with a solid surface. The repeated the action with Jack.
"Great let's go." Sam said moving to the ring platform.
"Wait Carter. Aren't you going to test Teal'c's and Jacob's shields?"
"Funny sir." Sam said, unconsciously flexing her hand.
Jack just smiled and tossed a bouncy ball to Jacob who caught it easily. Getting the idea he pitched it as hard as he could at Sam. It bounced off her shield, Jacob's shield and eventually Teal'c's.
"Happy now? That thing will still be going when we get back!" Jacob said as the ball continued to bounce.
"Yupp, let's go."
The five dropped down into the woods and walked casually toward the complex. They meet no resistance until Teal'c kicked in the door. Seven soldiers opened fire as soon as the door opened, bullets bounced off the shields as Teal'c easily took them out with his staff weapon.
"Nice job T." Jack said as he looked around and zatted the cameral by the door.
They made their way easily through the compound slowed only by the sheer number of soldiers they encountered.
"Alright, new plan." Jacob said as Sam placed a block of C4 on a generator, back where it wasn't likely to be seen by a passerby. "Jack and Teal'c you take these two here while Sam, Daniel and I get the two on the far side. These guys are a lot more determined then I thought. I want to be out of here in twenty minutes."
"Right. T lead the way." Jack and Teal'c set off at a jog.
There was a single guard at the room Sam went to enter. Instead of reaching for his gun this solider punched at Sam's face. She easily dodged the punch which had been slow enough to pass through the shield. Seeing this the solider began swing for all his worth. As Sam kept blocking or dodging the attacks they speed up until he finally swung hard enough for the shield to activate. As he spun around shaking his hand Daniel, now having a clear shot, zatted him.
"Hey!" Sam cried.
"Sorry to spoil your fun but we're finished here." Daniel laughed.
"Ha ha." Sam said as they headed for their final location. "Fun. Next time you fight the guys."
"Ah, invincible remember?"
"Kids." Jacob's tone was light. "No arguing now, we're almost there."
As they jogged past a room Sam stopped in her tracks. "Guys go ahead. I'll meet up with you outside."
"Sam?"
"Don't worry Dad. Just something I need to take care of."
"Alright. But be careful."
Sam waited for them to round the corner before backing up and entering the lab. Quickly going through the computer records Sam found the reference number to her records. Moving to the towering wall of filing cabinets she pulled out several thick files. Unzipping her jacket she tucked the folders in and zipped them securely inside. Turning to leave she was startled when Lydecker stepped into her personal space quickly pressing a knife into her throat.
"I figured you'd have to turn your protective shield off to work the computer." He whispered in her ear. "Not wise Major. I'd never allow my kids to make such a tactical error."
Sam's mind was racing. She could feel the knife pressing just below her jaw. She was also quiet aware of the two soldiers who filed into the room. Spinning quickly she grabbed the hand with the knife and with her other hand she grabbed Lydecker by the throat, keeping him within her shield.
"Give it up Lydecker, you've lost." Sam smiled as the soldiers weapon fire bounced off the shield. She sent a smirk their way before turning her attention back to her captive. "You should have NEVER pissed off my family."
"We are your family."
"No Jacob and my team, they are my family!" Sam cried out when a knife slipped past her shield and embedded itself high on her chest. Seeing his chance Lydecker spun around and jammed the knife in the rest of the way. Sam dropped to her knees clutching at the knife.
"You are wrong." Lydecker bent over Sam's kneeling figure, slowly slicing a crimson path across her left cheek. "You will always belong to me 774. Always."
