"You've changed all the security codes and everything that Daniel knows?" Jack made sure, still shaken by the shocking news. Landry nodded.

"We're way ahead of you Jack. We've notified Atlantis also."

Jack shook his head miserably. "Why? How? Is it possible that he was forced into this?"

"No, sir," Sam answered.

"Brainwashed! Possessed!" Jack suggested, throwing his hands in the air. Sam shrugged.

"We don't know, sir."

Jack ran a hand through his gray hair, closing his eyes.

"Unauthorized off world activation. Unauthorized off world activation," came Walter's announcement over the speakers. Sighing heavily, Jack followed SG-1 and General Landry to check it out.

"We're not receiving an identification, sir," Walter informed them as soon as they walked through the door. Landry frowned, coming up behind Walter. Suddenly the computer screens crackled and switched images to show a young girl, in her teens perhaps, nervously looking at them.

"Let me through, quickly. I can help" she said, her gaze darting around her. Landry frowned.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Danielle. I'm one of Adria's servants. But I can help you rescue Vala," she explained hurriedly. "Now please, let me through!"

Landry glanced at Jack, who shrugged, then turned back to Walter.

"Open the iris."

Frowning, Vala turned on her side to stare suspiciously at the door. Again, there was a knock. It was short and hurried, like the person on the other side of the door was nervous. Wondering who in the galaxy it could be, Vala stood up and walked to the door.

"The Prior locked the door, I can't open it," she hissed. She heard a click and stepped back as the door opened. Vala stared in shock at the person in front of her. Then she scowled.

"What do you want?" she demanded. The Prior, Daniel, glanced around him to make sure they were alone.

"Look, Vala, I can't tell you why I did this, but you've gotta trust me," he said quickly. Vala scoffed.

"And why should I?"

The Prior closed his eyes wearily in a very Daniel manner. "Because. I need you to. If you don't, I don't know what'll happen. But you need to trust me. Just, please."

Thoroughly confused, Vala stared at him. "Why can't you tell me why you need me to?"

Daniel frowned, getting enough of the questions. "Because I can't."

And then he closed the door. Vala stared at it until she heard the click of the lock, as if trying to get answers from it. It wasn't very helpful. With a tired and confused sigh, Vala turned around and walked back to the bed. She really should get some sleep.

"Adria plans to keep Vala there until she agrees to follow the Ori. From what I've seen of Vala, I have a feeling that's going to take a long time," Danielle was telling the two generals and SG-1. Cameron snorted softly.

"Long time? Try eternity. That woman's so stubborn, she'd put an ox to shame."

Danielle smiled at him. Jack sat up, looking her in the eyes.

"Do you know why Daniel became a Prior?" he asked. Danielle shook her head and shrugged.

"It could be that he saw the truth in the teachings of the Origin," she offered.

"Dr. Jackson is most probably the one of us who is most against the Ori," Teal'c argued. "Your suggestion is highly improbable."

"I'm against the Ori myself," Danielle informed them. "The Ori killed my village, my family. I wasn't there at the time, but when I came back and saw what had happened, I figured following the Origin would be better than dying. I hate them for killing my friends and family, though. That's why I'm helping you."

Sam looked from Danielle to Jack, waiting to see what the general would say. After a moment, Jack shook his head, as if brushing away a thought, and looked back to the young servant girl.

"You say you're here to help us. How?"
