Makepeace was proving hard to convince to turn against his associates, and General Hammond was getting quite discouraged with the results. If they'd had Jack, they could have had him infiltrate the organization. He would have been brilliant.

George gave a heavy sigh and sat back in his chair. It was always hard to lose someone under your command, but it was even harder to know that there might have been a possibility of saving them. And there was no worse feeling than thinking that your people were out there…somewhere…

He tried to think about what else he could do to help them, if they were still out there. He had tried contacting the Asgard, the Tok'ra, the Tollan, but they all had their own problems right now. All of a sudden, a bright light flooded his office. A little gray alien descended upon his office.

"General Hammond."

"Thor."

"Indeed."

"What can I do for you?" He asked as soon as he recovered from the shock of having an alien just appear in his office which was located in a top-secret facility. There wasn't supposed to be this kind of security breach.

"I understand that you have apprehended the pirate among your ranks."

Hammond flinched inwardly at Thor's choice of words. "Yes, that's right."

"However, we are still losing valuable assets. As are the Tok'ra and the Tollan."

"And what would you like us to do about it? We're questioning the man who has committed high crimes against your people and our government. However, it's proving to be a fruitless endeavor."

"We wish to question the perpetrator of these crimes ourselves, General."

"That's very…unorthodox."

"As is our journeying around the galaxy to find O'Neill and Major Carter."

"You haven't found them yet?"

"We have been unable to secure a ship as of yet with which to find them. Our battle with the Replicators is taking longer than we had first anticipated."

"And the Tok'ra lost one of their alkeshes to our spy. Jacob was irate when I talked to him last."

At the Asgard's puzzled look, George clarified. "Major Carter's father."

"I see."

"All right. When do you think you'll be available to question Colonel Makepeace?"

Suddenly, the Stargate began dialing to receive an incoming wormhole. "Unscheduled off-world activation!"

"That should be the members of the Tollan Council."

Sure enough, there was no iris code transmitted and the representatives walked through the iris resolutely.

The wormhole disengaged soon afterward, and almost immediately the Stargate dialed in again.

"Receiving the Tok'ra IDC, sir." Walter said before Thor was able to continue his commentary.

"Open the Iris!" Hammond commanded. This was going to be one hell of an interrogation.
