Alisha dragged Martouf through the undergrowth and pushed him towards the gate. "Go. Saffran should have left the mirror active. We must assume that no one has been back there since. Make sure you leave something infront of the mirror so you can identify the correct reality and take the control through with you so that you can return if needed. Once through the mirror dial this address." She shoved a piece of papyrus in his hand with a gate address on it. "It's where I sent Saffran. If she is not there then maybe someone can tell you where she went to."

Martouf nodded. "Thank you. For everything."

"GO!"

Martouf ran to the gate and quickly dialled the planet he needed. He heard Jaffa running through the forest and as he turned to look back he saw Alisha killed with a single staff blast. "Goodbye my friend. The Tok'ra will honour you."

He quickly ran through the gate. Once through he made a left turn and entered the small side room that contained the mirror. The control was on the floor and the reality in view looked very much like the one he was in now. The floor was dusty, indicating that no one had been there for a while. He disguarded his belt and left it in plain view of the mirror. He picked up the control and touched the surface. Once he felt the shook run through him he turned the mirror off and made his way back to the gate.

He cautiously dialled the address Saffran had given him and walked through the gate. The desert heat hit him like a blast furnace and he was relieved to see that it looked very much like a Tok'ra home base. He began his walk in the direction where he believed the rings to be.

"What are we going to do?"

"I do not know."

"What if she is indeed with our counterpart? Will we then return to our reality?"

"Lantash I am unsure what to do. We must first verify the position we are in before we take any actions."

"You are correct of course my friend. I hope that she is alive and well and still with child. We must deal with anything else as it comes."

"I agree."

"Martouf – whatever happens. We will always love her."

"I know."

Martouf found the rings with little difficulty and was soon in the coolness of the tunnels. He made his way down the hall and was soon spotted by Jacob.

Jacob frowned and then his eyes flashed. "I would assume that you are also from another reality."

Martouf bowed his head. "You are correct – Selmak?"

"Yes Martouf. Jacob shares his body with me in this reality also."

"May I enquire…"

Selmak smiled grimly. "You have not long been dead in this world. Two weeks at most. So you are in no danger here."

Martouf nodded. "And Saffran?"

"Saffran grew close to your counter part although they were never more than very good friends, perhaps in time it may have developed but we shall never know."

"The child?"

"As yet unborn, although it will be only days now. She is currently in sedation and has been so since your death to protect the child. She did not handle your death well."

Martouf bowed his head as Lantash came forward. "May we see her?"

"Whilst she is under sedation I will allow it but we may have to be careful how we introduce her to you."

"We understand."
