Cameronhad come to the briefing prepared and put one of Daniel's bulky books on each chair at the end of the briefing table to makeshift booster seats for the two miniature members of SG-1.
He'll kill me if he ever finds out I used his favourite books for this, he thought
As the rest of the briefing filled in the room, Cameron placed Daniel in his booster seat, however Vala was refusing to leave Sam's vicinity and sat on her lap.
"So, you're telling me this is Vala?" questioned General Laundry
"Yep." Replied Vala herself, wondering why anyone was questioning her name.
"From the horses mouth, Sir." Replied Cameron
"Is there a reason there are in this briefing?" he asked referring to the children in question.
"We want them to spend as much time with SG-1 as possible, it may be that their old memories are just repressed and could surface if they are around recognizable people and places." Answered Doctor Lam
"Ok, Ok, how did this happen?"
From the looks going between the people in the briefing the General could tell that they didn't have a clue.
"Any ideas at all?"
"The only idea we have is that maybe the device they were working on may have something to do with this." Replied Cameron
"Although we can't see a reason for the Go'uld to do this, it seems the only lead we have at the moment."
"Ok, Colonel Carter I want you working on this device with Doctor Lee and grab Captain Spares from SG-11, he is the next most qualified after Doctor Jackson in translating ancient Go'uld. Dismissed."
As the members of SG-1 and Doctor Lam got up to leave the briefing room, Sam realized that she was not going to be able to take Vala with her and work on this device, Teal'c sensing the same thing offered his services.
"Colonel Carter, would you like me to take the duties of minding Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran for the rest of the duration of the day."
Vala however was not happy about this idea and starting squirming away out of Sam's arms and trying to get in the opposite direction of the Jaffa.
"Vala, Vala, calm down."
"No."
"Vala."
"No, he's a jaffa."
"He won't hurt you."
"Yes he will, Jaffa are bad."
Catching onto the girls fear of Teal'c "She thinks that Jaffa still serve the bad guys and therefore Teal'c" Cameron realised
"Is in the service of a Go'uld." Filled in Sam
"This would explain her behaviour since she woke up."
Sam placed Vala down on the side of the briefing table , where she sat swinging her legs.
"Vala, where you come from, the Jaffa serve the Go'uld?"
Vala nodded, still keeping one weary eye on Teal'c
"Well, you see Teal'c here, he doesn't work for the Go'uld, he fights them."
Looking unconvinced, Vala looked up at Teal'c curiously
Teal'c took this opportunity and bent down to be at the same level as the young child.
"Vala, I do not serve any Go'ulds and wish to free this galaxy from them, I promise I will not hurt you."
Having never seen a Jaffa be gentle before she placed one of her hands onto his tattoo, running her fingers over the shape.
"Promise?" she asked
"I promise." Vala put her arms out to be picked up by the Jaffa, to which he was receptive and with one arms lifted her to his side.
"He then felt another young hand pulling at his trouser leg the other side and found a young Daniel Jackson not wanting to be left out and pulled him up also.
"If any of you require our assistance, we will be in the gym." Announced Teal'c intending to try and wear the youngsters out for the afternoon.
