Everything happened really fast.

Galen opened his eyes. He felt cold, but the coldness was pulling away from him. As he looked around, he saw he was still in that chamber. Then he looked at himself. And he saw his legs were covered with the black goo. And it was moving, moving away from him. He could see Dureena was lying next to him, unconscious. The black goo that was covering her body was also moving away from her. The black liquid started to gather in a corner and started to build up. The EGG that was there before was no longer there. Galen felt a bit disoriented and a little confused. And he didn't like feeling this way.

Then he saw it, the black good become something humanoid. It was in the shape of a human but it was made of goo.

If it had features and color, it would looked exactly like Galen, that was because it was mimicking Galen's appearance.

Then it spoke, but not with sound, as it didn't have a voice. It spoke directly into Galen's mind. It was telepathic. Galen sense that the thing, whatever it is must not be able to probe a mind, merely send messages to it as he did not sense any disturbance in his head. Galen replied by speaking.

"Who or what are you?" asked Galen

"Malsek" it simply said

"Malsek?" repeated Galen

"Malsek of Caltuc" it said

"You're the inhabitant of that planet?" he asked

"Correct"

"What do you want with us" Galen asked

"Revenge" it said

"I don't understand…revenge against what?" asked Galen.

"Watch" it told him.

And then a thousand images flashed before his eyes. It felt like ... Memories?

Galen felt as if he was there, in this new place, he found that he was in was in a ship, dark, wet, it was like the egg, only much bigger. Galen looked around, the ship was filled with humans, looking out at the screen….watching a war, on the screen, ships shaped as pyramids were shooting at them. They were the enemy, Galen didn't know why, but he knew their names, they were….the Goa'uld. Galen watched as the Goa'uld ship got shot down. The humans around him smiled.

Galen realized that no control over what he saw. He was just watching. He was watching all this as Malsek.

He noticed that Malsek's hands were human. But why? Malsek was liquid form not human. How is it that in his memory, his was a human. Then he wondered who was the Goa'uld, he has never heard of it before.

As if Malsek picked his thought. Malsek showed him what the Goa'uld was.

Malsek was in a dark corner watching the Goa'uld. They were humans. Malsek must have been a spy at the time. There were several of them, as if working in a lab of some sort. There were other humans strapped to a table. A Goa'uld took something looking like a worm and inserted it into the human strapped to a table. The human's eyes glowed. And then a smiled appeared on his face.

Then, a new memory came in, Galen watched as 3 humans dressed in very strange clothing. 2 of them was holding down the third, who was kneeling on the floor, he looked weak, as if he was tortured. Then a fourth human came into the picture, he held something resembling a barrel, when he opened it, black goo came out, and it took shape of a human. It then went on to grab the one that was kneeling, it was covering him up, just like what he saw happened with Dureena. Then, the black goo disappeared into the human's mouth. And then, the human stood up, and embraced the others like they were brothers… it's like he's been taken over. It's like he has become a host to that black thing.

Then Galen understood. Malsek was in human form because he took on a human host. The Caltucans were parasites, the Goa'uld were also parasites. Parasites that were capable of taking over the host minds. To control them. Galen remembers reading about such parasites. But from he remembered the ones he read about merely influenced the host. This was total control. Then he remembered that Gideon and the Excalibur did come across some sort of a parasite that spread and took a host by touch. He was watching, but didn't intervene, as he knew Gideon was capable of handling it himself.

And a new memory flashed before him, he was in a Caltucan's ship. Same as before, a Goa'uld ship was in view, but it was different this time, this was not just one Goa'uld ship, but a whole fleet. Galen realized that the Caltucans had their own fleet as well. The Caltucans and Gou'uld ships then engaged in battle. The Goa'uld was equally as strong as the Caltucans. But then, some other ships came to view. It was dark, it was spider like, and they had appeared out of no where. There were many, too many to count, and they shot out red rays. And Galen witnessed as the ships sliced the caltucans ships in half. The name that appeared in his mind, it was Shakash. But Galen has seen these ships before, he knows them very well. They were the Shadows.

Galen saw Malsek's ship retreat, they flew away from the battle.

Next, Galen saw Malsek walking down a tunnel that was just built, in it was a room….with the EGG. He saw Malsek turn to embrace his comrades. As if to say good bye. He came out of his human host. Galen finally saw how the Malsek's human host looked like, it was a young man, black hair, sharp features, dressed in strange clothes. Unconscious. Apparently breaking off from the parasite was too much for the human body to take. Malsek watched as his comrades dragged the body away, and then he moved into the egg. And then, the memory ended.

Then it made sense to Galen. This was a war of parasite against parasite. The Goa'uld apparently won the war with the help of Shadows. The egg must have been an organic stasis pod, keeping this thing alive for all those years. The heavy shielding must have been put there so their enemy, Goa'uld would never find him. Now Malsek wants revenge.

"I understand now…but how does this concern us" Galen asked.

"You have powers beyond anything I've seen before, if I take you back as my host, I could warn the others, and I can use you… the war will be won, and I will be their God"

"Why did you take both of us?" asked Galen

"Because I can use you both to go back time…one thousand years"

It made perfect sense, the shadows were at war with the Minbari a thousand years ago, perhaps other than the war with the Minbari, they also helped the Goa'uld in the war against Caltucans.

"How?"

"You do not need to know….just know that I need your energy…both of you"

"You'll never succeed"

"I've already sent us 200 years back…I'm your only chance of survival…or you and her will die"

Galen didn't say anything, but he was angry.

"You can't kill me" it said "I'm your last hope"

Though the thing had no face, Galen somehow could tell that it was smiling.

"Bastard." Said Galen out loud.

Then, a voice came from behind. "Don't move"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"It's freezing here" said O'Neill

The SG1 just arrived on Caltuc, the same planet the Excalibur was investigating, 200 years later.

"Doesn't seem to have anything here" said Jackson as he looked around and saw nothing but ice and snow.

"Well, check out the MALP, it looks dead frozen" said O'Neill as he tapped the Malp. They were still at the Stargate. Carter and Teal'c was gone. They were out checking out the place.

"Sir" Carter came over to O'Neill.

"Anything?" asked O'Neill

"We did find something, Teal'c is there now" said Carter and turned around and started to walk expecting Jackson and O'Neill to follow. They did.

The walked to a corner and saw Teal'c staring at the ground. Actually, a hole in the ground.

The covered was already removed. Tealc was staring at the same hole that Dureena and Galen went down to.

"There's something down there" said Tealc as he saw the others approached.

"Is that a good thing or bad" asked Jackson

"I'm not certain" said Teal'c

"What are we waiting for, let's get down there" said O'Neill

They went down the hole and soon walked through the tunnel which let to where Dureena and Galen were.

As Tealc walked closer to the room. He felt uneasy.

He stopped. And O'Neill turned to see why he stopped.

"Teal'c, everything alright?" he asked

"I feel a presence" Teal'c replied

"Goa'uld?" asked Jackson

"I don't feel anything" said Carter

"This is not the presence of a Goa'uld" said Teal'c as he straighten up.

"I think we should check this out Goa'uld or not" said O'Neill as he readied his gun.

Carter did the same.

As they moved closer, they heard someone called out "Bastard"

They moved in, weapons seaching for a target. The light from Jackson's torch shined on Malsek. Carter saw Galen and Dureena on the ground.

"Don't move!" shouted O'Neill at Malsek.

Malsek moved for an attack. And The Sg-1 team opened fire. But it didn't seemed to work. Galen threw a fireball at it and Malsek fell to the floor. Burning. If it had a voice, it would be shouting in pain. Carter gasped as she was the only who saw what Galen did.

Galen cursed himself. He had just destroyed his only hope for getting back home. But he really didn't have a choice. He wasn't going to let Malsek attack the four humans…well, at least they looked like humans.

"Who are you?" asked Galen

"We were about to ask you the same thing" said Jackson as he extended his hand to help Galen up. Carter moved on to Dureena's side to check her pulse. But what she didn't notice was Dureena was an alien. It was dark after all.

"Sir, she needs medical attention" said Carter

Galen realized that the humans were wearing old military uniforms. But the question was how did they come to this planet. As he remembers, humans 200 years ago didn't have the means to transport themselves to another planet. He pushed that thought aside. Dureena was in need of medical help. They may have the way to help her. He decided he will trust them….for now.
