Chapter 5:

Sam was pacing around in her lab, she was trying to track the movements of this Ares, Daniel was digging up all he had on Greek mythology. Teal'c was on Chu'lak trying to contact his allies within Anubis's ranks. Hammond and Hayes was trying to keep Vice President Kinsey's big mouth out of the game, the spy was still out there, but they had bigger fish to fry.

Sam was getting nowhere, Ares was swift and hard to find, no attacks, no invasions, no planet which worships him, as far as they know. Until the gate started spinning. Sam made a run for the control room, where a M.A.L.P was sent through. It was the Tollan, and bodies were everywhere, Narim walked to the MA.L.P and was wounded. "Help us, it's the Goa'uld. One of them, took Jack O'Neill as host.".

The gate opened and atleast one hundred Tollan survivors walked through. Paramedics got to work on them ASAP. Sam ran down there and found Narim. "Samantha." He said in relief and hugged her tight. "I am glad to see you. What happened?" he asked. Sam shrugged. "I don't know, for the past month I have been looking for Colonel O'Neill but he was nowhere. Until now.".

Narim sat down and spoke. "Whoever this system lord is, his attack was swift, like he was, triggered on some emotion.". Sam knew what he was talking about, Amunet, Apophis's queen, she engaged with Sha're's memories, it caused her to betray Apophis. But she has other things in mind, for instants, Jack's whereabouts.

She got to work on locating the Asgard, she heard they were keeping their eyes on Ba'al lately. But, as she was working, Narim walked in on her. "Samantha? Are you alright?" he asked. Sam nods slowly. "Just, trying to contact Thor.". Narim then walked up to her and held his arms open. "Need a hug?" he asked. Sam excepted it. Narim stroked the back of her head lightly as he held onto her. "Do you love him?" he asked.

Sam stepped out of his embrace and looked at him. "What?" she asked. Narim smiled ever so gently. "I know you two were close Samantha, every time he spoke at me after I accidentally insulted you that one time, there was this… sparkle in your eyes.". Sam then decided to admit to the truth. "Yeah, I do.". Narim nods lightly. He grabbed a note pad and pen, smiling he asked: "What can I help you with?".

For the next hour they were working and waiting on a reply from the Asgard. A few more minutes passed, and Daniel ran in to the lab. "Sam! Hi Narim, it's Jack, or Ares or… … whatever, he just made contact.".

Sam and Daniel arrived at the control room to find Ares on the screen, he was in sleek metallic armour, with armour plates and a black cape and golden Greek style helmet. "I am Ares, I see you took the Tollan upon you as refugees. I have a proposal to make.". Narim pointed to the screen in accusation. "You attacked my home, why!?".

Ares chuckled. "You humans, the Tollan are enemies of the gods. As are the Tau'ri. By taking on a Tau'ri as host, I know what he knows. I will keep on attacking your allies, if you want me to discontinue my onslaughts, you will hand over Major Samantha Carter to me.". The room was silent, but Hammond then spoke with pure rage. "That is out of the question!".

Ares then said: Then your precious colonel remains as my host.". The screen dies and whispers broke loose in the room. Sam could believe it, Ares was being consumed by Jack's emotions and feelings! This was in opportunity she couldn't give up, this was the last chance to rescue Jack.
