In the infirmary, I was sitting on a bed and Daniel was standing next to me.
Dr. Frasier said, "Blood works check clean. Leslie, you are perfectly healthy."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I can't find anything wrong with you."
"Ok."
I hopped off table. I almost fell but Daniel caught me. "Whoa Les."
"Sorry. I'm still a little dizzy from the injection."
Dr. Frasier asked, "What did they give you?"
"Stuff to access my subconscious mind."
"Here, take these. They'll help a little with your dizziness."
"Thank You, Dr. Frasier."
Daniel and I walked into General Hammond's office after we were released from the infirmary.
General Hammond said, "Have a seat you two."
Daniel and I did so. We looked at each other afraid of what was about to be said to us.
General Hammond said, "Daniel, SG-9 brought back some artifacts. I'd like you a presentation on what you found."
Daniel said, "Yes, Sir." We walked off to Daniel's lab.
They put the artifacts in Daniel's lab. Daniel wanted Lantash to help translate some of the text written on them.
Jack was watching us through the camera he hid in Daniel's lab from another room. He was watching the screen very closely. Daniel wanted to talk to Lantash. My head went down, and then back up again. My eyes glowed.
Lantash said, "Hello again Dr. Jackson. Will you require my assistance?"
Jack saw my eyes glow. "What the hell!" He quickly ran to the Armory to get a Zat and then ran to Daniel's lab. Jack came barging in. "Daniel, move away from her!"
I slowly stood up and backed up against the wall. Jack was aiming the Zat right at me. Daniel tried to jump in front of me. Before he could, Jack shot me. I heard Daniel yell, "Nooooooo!" before I passed out.
I woke up in the infirmary. Daniel is sitting in a chair at my side. I look up at him. I looked down and saw restraints on me. "Daniel? Daniel, what's happening? What's going on? Why am I restrained?"
Daniel whispered in my ear, "General Hammond ordered Jack to keep an eye on us so he hid a camera in my lab. He saw your eyes glow."
"Oh no."
An officer walked in. "General Hammond would like to see Leslie in the briefing room."
The nurses removed the restraints. One of the officers took handcuffs out of his pocket.
Daniel said, "The handcuffs won't be necessary. She won't hurt anyone."
Daniel walked me to the briefing room with two officers behind us. General Hammond, Dr. Frasier, and the rest of SG-1 were sitting at the table. I walked in with Daniel at my side.
Jack got up and looked at my neck. "No entry scar." Entry scar means Goa'uld
General Hammond asked, "Who or what are you?"
I looked at Daniel. He whispered in goa'uld, "Don't tell them. Don't say anything."
I said in goa'uld, "I must. If I don't, they will lock me up."
Daniel said, "They will lock you up anyway."
"Yes but hopefully not with handcuffs or chains." My head went down and back up again. My eyes glowed. "I am Lantash of the Tok'ra."
They looked at me shockingly.
General Hammond said, "I thought the copy and the symbiote died last year."
Lantash said, "I jumped into Leslie and took her as host because my former host was dying. He wanted her to have me. That is why I'm within."
Sam asked, "So you did stab the copy?"
"No. He stabbed himself."
"Why?"
"To hide the real reason: that I took Leslie as host. 'They will think that Nirrti killed Lantash but you have Lantash instead.' That is what Martouf said to my host."
Jack asked, "Can we talk to Leslie?"
My head went down and back up again
General Hammond asked, "What did Jacob and Martouf want with you?"
I said, "The scientists were making sure that the blending went well. My eyes shouldn't be glowing. They wanted to see if he had developed new abilities from the experimenting Nirrti did on Lantash."
Jack said, "And I betcha the Tok'ra weren't gonna tell us anything about it."
Sam asked, "What are these new abilities that you have?"
"All I know about is my eyes glowing, speaking 19 different languages…"
Daniel cut me off and whispered in my ear, "Don't tell them about the goa'uld technology."
General Hammond was speechless.
Sam asked, "The body burning was whose idea?"
I said, "That was Lantash's idea."
Jack asked, "During the briefing when you and Daniel…what happened there?"
I answered, "Lantash was testing his abilities and he mistakenly heard what Daniel was thinking."
General Hammond said, "Escort her to the guest quarters until I know what to do with her."
The officer said, "Yes, Sir."
Dr. Frasier said, "MRI confirms that she has a symbiote."
General Hammond asked, "Did anyone else know about this?"
Sam answered, "I don't think so, Sir. I'm surprised I didn't sense it. Nirrti must have tried 'goa'uld suppression' research. Teal'c probably couldn't sense it because he's using tretonin.
Jack added, "So if Nirrti's experiment got out…"
"We'd be in big trouble."
