"Daniel, I'm scared," Sarah said as she leaned into Daniel's embrace.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think they would take your device away. I can talk Jack out of it if…"

"No," she interrupted him. "I have to do this. You have to get her information and this is the only way. I understand that and I never want you to regret doing what you need to do." They looked over to where Isis was struggling against the restraining hands of the Illarians. Once she realized what was happening she had been struggling feverishly. "She wanted to go back to Earth." Daniel looked back down at her.

"Isis?" he asked quietly.

"Osiris," she mumbled never taking her eyes off Sam. "All she wanted to do was get Isis and go back to Earth. Start from where they left off."

"Then why are you here?"

"She saved Isis and was promptly pushed to the side." She watched as Danu came toward them. "Promise me you will save me and bring me back to Earth."

"I promise," he whispered as they disconnected her detachment device. Sarah's eyes flared immediately as she pushed away from Daniel. Teal'c and the rest of the Illarian Security Force was there to subdue her again. Daniel watched in sorrow before following Danu over to Sam. They forced the device onto her, her struggles ceasing immediately when it clicked into place.

"Carter," Jack asked when the light had turned blue. Sam had stopped moving, a completely shocked look on her face. "Carter," Jack insisted again, grabbing a hold of her shoulders and giving her a little shake. "Look at me." Sam looked around with dazed eyes, finally focusing on Jack's face.

"Sir?" she whispered.

"That's it," he encouraged, "focus on me." He held her for a few more minutes until all her attention was on him. "I need to know what the snake's plan is."

"Snake?" she asked, not quite comprehending his question.

"Isis," he amended. "She came here to steal an ion cannon. She found whatever she was looking for just before we got there. What did she find on the computer?"

"Comp…" Sam started, her mind again drifting off. Images flashed through her mind, but she didn't have enough energy to try to sort through them.

"She's in shock, Sir," Janet said, kneeling down in front of her friend. She reached out and grabbed Sam's chin, trying to get the blonde to look at her. Instead she could see her friend pulling into herself.

"Major!" Jack's abrupt command had the desired effect. Sam immediately focused her attention on her commanding officer. Jack knew he only had a few seconds before her attention would wander again. "Where are the Jaffa going?" Sam closed her eyes and started rocking back and forth. Jack gave a small sigh, and reached out to grab her again when she whispered one word.

"Shield."

"What?" He stopped moving, both shocked that she answered him and confused by her answer. "Shield what?" he tried again, but it was no use. Sam had curled up into a small ball, her eyes staring transfixed on the ground in front of her. He glanced at Daniel and Teal'c to see if they had any insights. Both merely shrugged their shoulders. Janet quickly pushed him away and began treating her friend for shock. Danu and the other Illarians had retreated again to the center of the courtyard to organize the force that would defend the city. Jacob took Jack's place at Sam's side, knowing there wasn't anything he could do at the moment but unwilling to leave just yet. Jack sighed heavily and made his way over to his teammates. "Any other ideas?"

"I'm sorry Jack," Daniel said knowing how hard that exchange was for his friend. He half expected Sam to grab a gun and lead the attack on the Jaffa as soon as she was freed from the Goa'uld's influence, not curl up into a ball and hope the world would go away.

"It was worth a shot," he reassured him, quickly putting his military mask back in place. Daniel sighed, rolling his head to try to relieve some tension in his neck. As he was looking up he automatically scanned the sky for any Death Gliders. It had been quiet for the last few minutes; maybe the aerial attack was over.

"Teal'c, you think like a Jaffa. Where would they head to?" Jack and Teal'c were talking nearby but Daniel tuned them out as he gazed skyward. The Illarian force moved out, heading to the last known location of the Jaffa ground forces and hoping to track them to their current location. 'How many Jaffa died,' he wondered. The sky was still aglow, but there were no more gliders burning through the atmosphere to account for it. 'Maybe a residual effect,' Daniel thought, 'but then how long would it last?' He glanced over at Sam. Jacob was putting his jacket gingerly around his daughter's shoulders. Janet kept talking to her, but Sam continued to stare at the ground. Jack kept shooting measured glances toward their lost teammate and Daniel worried he might do something he would regret.

"You're not thinking of doing what I think you're thinking of doing are you?" he asked, striding forward until he stood between them and Sam.

"She knows what Isis's plan is," Jack said. Daniel could see the conflict in his eyes.

"She's in no condition to talk," Daniel reminded them.

"We could make her speak," Teal'c said. Daniel looked at his stoic face. Many would not believe the Jaffa felt emotion, but Daniel knew better. He could see underneath the mask and knew Teal'c hated himself for suggesting this.

"And then what?" he argued. "She could barely string three words together last time. You think the threat of violence is going to make her pour her soul out?"

"I do not believe Major Carter would wish us to stand idly by and watch the destruction of the Illarian people when there is something we can do to stop it."

"I agree Teal'c, but you're missing the point. There's no doubt she has the knowledge. She just can't give it to us. Not yet."

"There's no time to wait for her to be ready to tell us, Daniel," Jack snarled. As much as he didn't want to hurt her, they had to get the information. Daniel sighed and looked up, hoping to get some inspiration. "I hate myself for doing this Daniel, but there's more at stake than just Sam. We need to know what she knows."

"Maybe we do," Daniel murmured so low the others could barely hear him. He was staring at the sky intently now, the look on his face told Jack something just clicked into place in the young archeologist's mind.

"What?" Jack asked.

"The shield," Daniel muttered. "The Jaffa aren't going for an ion cannon, they're going for the shield generators." Jack shared a glance with Teal'c to see if he understood where Daniel was going. Teal'c merely raised an eyebrow at the unasked question.

"Explain Daniel Jackson." Teal'c statement brought Daniel back to the present. He ignored them and ran over to where Danu was working on a computer.

"Yes Dr. Jackson," Danu asked as they stopped in front of him.

"What happens if the shield fails?"

"You don't need to worry about that," he said kindly. "There are several backup systems to control the shield as well as several backup power supplies. Plus Tollan scientists are only seconds away if we should need them."

"But what happens if it does fail," Daniel insisted, "since Tollana can't be called upon, your computer systems, and probably the backups as well, are in total disarray, and your backup power systems could fail at any minute?"

"It would be disastrous," Danu told them, his smile falling from his face as he realized the implications. "Without the shield to block the radiation, all living things on this planet would be dead within a few hours. With our communication system down, we would be unable to call Tollana for assistance. We would be helpless."

"The Jaffa are going for the shield," Jack said, unconsciously quoting Daniel's earlier statement. He quickly turned to Danu, "Check the status of all your backups for your shield. How long until you get communications back online?"

"Several hours at least, assuming the Jaffa do no more damage," Danu answered, frantically typing on his computer. "It will take me a few moments to gather the data on the shield status."

"Let me know when you get it," he told him, motioning Jacob to join them. "If the radiation will kill every living thing, wouldn't it kill Isis and Osiris too?"

"Eventually O'Neill, however the increased healing properties of the Goa'uld would give them a resistance against radiation."

"What'd I miss?" Jacob asked.

"Their plan," Jack said. He quickly told Jacob what they learned.

"But even a few days isn't enough time to disassemble an entire weapon of that size," Jacob argued, paling at the thought that his daughter was willing to kill millions of innocent people to get what she wanted.

'Not your daughter,' Selmak reminded him.

"It's enough time to find the specs on their computer system and download them onto a portable memory drive," Daniel said solemnly. "When they find what they're looking for, they just call the mothership up and a cargo ship comes and picks them up, just like they agreed with the Tollan. The mothership won't go anywhere and is under constant supervision until after Triad."

"But it's not the mothership they had to worry about. And by the time they figure it out it will be to late for Illaria." Jack sighed. "Damn their arrogance."

"It's not to late yet Jack," Daniel reminded him.

"Right, let's go save their asses again."

"I have the information you requested, Colonel," Danu spoke up. "The main generator, which was located in the central building, was of course destroyed in the initial explosion. The orbital bombardments did destroy three of the backup generators."

"How many other backups are there?" Daniel asked.

"Only one." Danu looked up at SG-1 before continuing. "As our guests for Triad I am not allowed to reveal this information to you. However, I feel that you are our only chance at survival and will go against our regulations." He typed in some commands on his keyboard and a map was displayed for them. "The remaining generator is here." A small square started blinking. Teal'c took a step forward and intently studied the map.

"Can you contact your security forces?"

"No, unfortunately communications are down throughout the planet."

"Great. Danu, you need to get the Stargate working. If that shield goes down, your people need a way off this planet." Danu nodded and hunched over his computer once again. "If any security forces return send them to guard that generator." Danu nodded. Jack turned to Daniel. "I need you to stay here with Janet. Help Sam however you can and make sure Osiris doesn't go anywhere." Daniel nodded. "Anyone see the other Tok'ra lately?"

"Not since the initial explosion O'Neill."

"Damn. We could really use more firepower. I guess we'll just have to make due. Teal'c, Jacob, you're with me." Jack started running toward the generator, Teal'c only a couple steps behind him. Jacob paused for a second, turned to face Daniel.

"Take care of my little girl."

"Always." Jacob nodded and ran after the other two. He caught up with them a few minutes later, thanking Selmak for his increased strength and speed. The trio never stopped as they raced through the city and into a forest where the last generator was found. All their senses were strained, searching for any clue that would tell them where the Jaffa were.
