Chapter 5: Giving Shade A Name

When Jacob returned to the SGC, he was immediately directed up to the briefing room. Jacob and Selmak were not surprised to see Daniel and Teal'c already in attendance with General Hammond. Considering his news, Jacob was glad they had waited. I bet they want to see the note, Jacob said.

No bet, Selmak commented.

Jacob chuckled. "George, SG-1," Jacob greeted. "I'm sure you want to know what I found."

"If you found anything, Jacob. Daniel didn't seem to have any luck. It is possible that they have not left the message yet," General Hammond said.

"Actually, they had," Jacob said. "I'm rather surprised Daniel missed it. Since it was right next to the Stargate." At this point Jacob couldn't help, but smile at Daniel. It had caught his eye as he was sending the rest of SG-1 home. Blatantly obvious if you were looking for it.

"But… I was all over the area… I looked at all those rocks. Literally, rocks. None of them were stacked like the picture," Daniel protested.

"Yes, they were. Several stacks of them. The biggest one had the note," Jacob said. "But that was not all. I actually saw both of them."

"You did? Was it a trap?" General Hammond asked.

"No. It wasn't. In fact, they were more concerned with us trying to trap them. I got their version of events that led to… everything… Let me start at the beginning." Jacob took a breath and sat down. "After the fire fight, Sam lost the guys who took Jack. She tracked him for a week. She had not heard from either of you. She was gaining intel from a local when she found out that Jack had been sent to the mine. To get additional intel she had to talk to the goa'uld first," Jacob hesitated.

"Sam says that she didn't know the local was a host until that moment. The goa'uld said it would gladly provide intel if she would provide a place for it to hide. The planet was on the brink of civil war and the local was a rebel leader. She was able to ask it questions before the blending. It was not a Tok'ra. It had been hiding from Ra and the other goa'uld for centuries. She wanted to help it because it was the right thing to do. But the biggest factor to her was that it didn't lie to her. It told her the truth even if it meant she would not host it." Jacob took a deep breath as he thought about that kind of decision.

"Sam accepted the blending. It chose to do a light blending with her," Jacob said.

"What does that mean?" General Hammond asked.

"A light blending? Well, I have been putting a lot of thought into how to present blending to potential hosts. There a several layers of blending. A blind blending is where the symbiote is essentially blind to the host. There is no mental contact. No sharing of thoughts, emotions, memories, morals, or personalities. This is the kind of blending that the host Jolinar was in before it blended with Sam.

"A light blending is the next level. It allows some connection of thoughts and emotions. But no memories, morals, or personalities. This is the easiest connection to break. It is also the best connection to allow two people to maintain their distinct selves.

"A moderate blending is slightly deeper. It allows more thought connection and easier emotion connection. Some memories, usually the most present in the mind. No morals or personalities. It can be broken, but not as easily as the light connection.

"A deep blending is the connection most commonly used by the Tok'ra. It allows the thoughts to closely intermingle as well as the emotions. Most memories are shared between the two life forms. Some morals are shared. No personalities are shared. Each life form stays distinct. This is a life long blending. It is usually broken when one life form is about to die.

"A melded blending is the deepest connection. This is the rarest connection. It merges the thoughts, emotions, memories, morals, and personalities of the two life forms. The life forms merge to become two parts of the same life form. Like conjoined twins. It is almost impossible to break this kind of blending. To do so usually ends in the death of both," Jacob says.

"Thank you for taking such an interest in trying to explain the blending process," General Hammond said. "Major Carter had the Light Blending."

"Yes," Jacob continued. "Sam was able to finally meet up with Jack two days later. She didn't tell him about the goa'uld. She just said she couldn't return to Earth. He refused to send her out into the galaxy alone. Sam is the one who thought up the message to Earth. After the message, they went to a Safe House the goa'uld had set up for transitioning identities."

"Wait… Jack didn't know she was a goa'uld?" Daniel asked.

"Not until that message, no," Jacob said.

"How? Goa'uld are not exactly subtle," Daniel said.

"Apparently, this one is," Jacob said. "At the Safe House, Jack confronted Sam about the whole goa'uld blending thing. That lead to Jack offering to be it's hiding place. It accepted. They blend."

"What?" General Hammond said. "Colonel O'Neill decided to blend with this goa'uld?"

Jacob sighed, "It gets worse, George. Jack blends and passes out. Turns out the goa'uld passed out too. They didn't just blend, they merged."

"Dear God," General Hammond said.

"Why?" Daniel asked. "Why would he do that?"

"His trade with the goa'uld was for it to leave Sam and never go back," Jacob said sadly.

"So both of my officers have been compromised," General Hammond said while staring at the table.

"Yes. But they have also determined that the goa'uld was not lying about hiding from Ra and all the other System Lords for centuries. It would only go to a willing host because of the danger to the host for hiding it. It did not speak the entire time I was there. It let Jack speak for it," Jacob said.

"Did they tell you it's name?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, but I doubt it will help. They called it Shade," Jacob said sadly.

"Shade?" Daniel asked like he was almost offended by the normal sounding name.

"I have not heard this name before," Teal'c supplied.

"Did they seem alright?" Daniel asked.

Jacob chuckled, "Actually, they seemed to be doing pretty well. They have been missing… what… one week?" Jacob looked for confirmation to Daniel and General Hammond. "They were flying a pretty nice Al'kesh. They had BOUGHT the Al'kesh. Sam almost yelled at me for thinking she couldn't take care of herself."

"They bought an Al'kesh?" Daniel said. "How did they…? They have only been gone a week…"

General Hammond chuckled, "They might have had some assistance from their new friend. Combine the resources of a goa'uld, Jack's tactics, and Sam's brains… They will own the Universe before long."

"That is probably true," Jacob said absently. "Daniel, Teal'c, can I talk to you in your office? I have some ideas about this goa'uld I want to run past you."

"Sure, Jacob. I'll be up there in about ten minutes," Daniel said.

"I will be sure to join you Jacob Carter," Teal'c stated.

"Good. That will be all for now. Let me know if you need anything, Jacob," General Hammond said in dismissal.

"I will. Thank you," Jacob said. Let's get something to drink before we confront Daniel and Teal'c, Jacob thought at Selmak.

Just not coffee. It makes me jittery, Selmak replied.

Apple juice? Jacob offered.

Sounds good, Selmak said. Do you truly believe that this goa'uld might be a queen in hiding?

I don't know, Jacob responded. But Jack's responses were a little extreme for a non-queen. Sam very quickly jumped on me about children in Jack's defense. Based on what we know about a merged blending, how much of that was Jack and how much was the goa'uld?

Good point, Selmak said. With the Ancient data in the mix, we CANNOT tell the Tok'ra.

You're right, Jacob said. But like Sam said, ANY children would not be ready for years anyway.

SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG

"Hey, Daniel, Teal'c," Jacob greeted the two men with his juice in hand. "I wanted to talk to you both about who this goa'uld might be." Jacob then closed the door before he sat down.

Daniel raised his eyebrows at the closed door, but held his peace.

"When Selmak and I were talking to Jack and Sam about the story the goa'uld presented, we were struck by one consistency. The goa'uld was being hunted FOR CAPTURE. Ra did not want to kill this goa'uld. The System Lords did not want to kill this goa'uld. They wanted to capture it," Jacob said evenly.

Then Jacob turned to Teal'c, "Teal'c, when you were in the service of Apophis, was there a 'be on the lookout for' notice for any goa'uld… Not kill orders, like you get for Tok'ra, but something else?"

"Daniel, same thing. Ra or any System Lord would be hunting down this goa'uld. Look at the mythology. See if there is something there. I have a hunch. I am wondering if it will pan out," Jacob said.

"Do you want to tell us your hunch? Or should we randomly guess?" Daniel asked.

Jacob sighed, "I may as well tell you. I want you to keep this absolutely confidential. Just us three…" He stared at both men until he was certain they agreed. "When Ra had angered Egeria, she had spawned the Tok'ra. He sent out execution orders for all the Tok'ra, but for Egeria he wanted her alive… Queens were too rare to waste. That is why Hathor and Isis were in statis. Goa'uld can't breed without a queen. I am wondering if THIS goa'uld is a missing queen."

"But we don't know her name because…" Daniel started.

"Because she now goes by Shade," Jacob stated. "If she has been hiding successfully for centuries, her name is the first thing she ditched."

"An interesting proposal, Jacob Carter. I will give it some thought and return when I have an answer either positive or negative," Teal'c replied.

"Thanks guys. I plan on doing the same with Selmak's memories. We'll get together tomorrow to see what we have found," Jacob said.

Daniel had already turned away from him and was staring to pull books off of his shelf. Teal'c nodded and headed off to his quarters to kel-no-rem. Jacob and Selmak needed to do the same. He headed off to his quarters for some peace and quiet.

SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG

Jacob, Daniel, and Teal'c met the next day to pool their information. Jacob decided to start with what he could remember from Selmak's memories.

"Alright, guys, here is what Selmak can remember," Jacob started. "We will start with the ones we know about. Ten thousand years ago, Ra tried to limit who Egeria could associate with. He tried to limit her freedom. She retaliated by creating the Tok'ra. She had spawned once before fleeing. Her children took years to mature. Ra did not realize the extent of her anger for several years. She had spawned several more times at other locations by the time he realized how he had screwed up."

"However, Ra did NOT order Egeria killed. Just captured and returned. To this day, the Tok'ra do not know where Egeria is. However, I have been told that Shade is NOT Tok'ra. She is likely not Egeria. Which brings us to our next elimination, Isis. Before Ra departed Earth, Seth had Osiris' host killed. The symbiote was saved. Osiris and Isis were but in stasis jars until Ra could kill Seth. As we now know, Isis' jar was damaged and she died in her jar," Jacob continued.

"Next we have Hathor. Again, she did something to anger Ra before he left Earth. Likely it had something to do with Egeria and Hathor deciding that she could manipulate the men around her. Hathor was put into stasis. She was revived and escaped the SGC into the galaxy. She attempted a comeback with SG-1 as her victims. She died when Colonel O'Neill killed her by cryofreeze solution

"Another queen that we know about is Amaunet. She was killed in her host, Sha're, just two years ago by SG-1 when the Tau'ri were rescuing the Abydonians," Jacob said.

"Is Bastet a queen? I saw her at the Summit, but my literature says that she might be one," Daniel said.

"Bastet is a queen, Daniel Jackson. Bastet was queen to Sebek before she killed him to rule his lands in his place. Bastet joined forces with Morrigan. This union strengthens both of their domains," Teal'c replied.

"That's true, Daniel," Jacob seconded. "Bastet killed Sebek about five hundred years ago. He wasn't very ambitious. But he had a queen. He was doing better than most goa'uld."

"Okay, so who does that leave? I mean, of the known goa'uld queens," Daniel asked.

"Well, before we go down that road, there is one more queen that needs to be eliminated. Xiwangmu. Celestial Mother Goddess of the West. Wife of the Jade Emperor. I mention her for a very specific reason. Anubis killed her in a very public way. It is why Lord Yu hates Anubis. It is also why Anubis was thought dead these last one thousand years. Remember, Ra never killed a queen. Anubis not only killed a queen, he did it at a summit. The System Lords united against him. They shattered his holdings. Destroyed his fleet. Killed all his Jaffa. They thought they had killed him. Anubis caught even the Tok'ra by surprise," Jacob stated sadly.

"I figured there was bad blood there. Lord Yu is one of the more sane goa'uld to deal with," Daniel said with awe.

"Indeed, Daniel Jackson. However, for what purpose was Anubis' intent in killing a queen? This did not weaken Lord Yu in the System Lords," Teal'c stated. "It only brought the wrath of the System Lords down on him."

"I don't know," Daniel said. "So who is left that is a real goa'uld queen?" Daniel asked after a pause.

"The Tok'ra can confirm that Ba'al has Anat somewhere. He is keeping her hidden and away from the other goa'uld. Olokun has Aphrodite. We know where she is even if Olokun thinks she is hidden. We believe that Kali has Shekmet, but we can't confirm it," Jacob said.

"That leaves us with Hera missing for sure and rumors of more queens that have been unaccounted for among those spawned," Jacob finished.

"Hera? Like Zeus' Hera?" Daniel asked.

"Yes," Jacob said. "Zeus was a System Lord. He was deposed nine hundred years ago. Hera was his queen. She disappeared around then. She has not been seen since," Jacob stated.

"Well, going off of mythology, Hera was NOT NICE. She was very goa'uld like in mythology. She hunted down all the kids her cheating husband sired. I seriously doubt she would be Shade. Sam told you she was nice," Daniel said. "Who else?"

"Rumors mostly," Jacob said. "There were more than a few about Artemis. But they think Artemis was the host not the goa'uld."

"Okay," Daniel said. "That sort of matches my mythology search. Teal'c?"

"Jacob Carter has already provided the information I had gained from my memories. I have no more useful information to provide," Teal'c supplied.

"Okay, well, I went through mythology and I was looking for women who bore children to gods. I figured that this would be the best description for a goa'uld queen that mythology could provide. The Greek and Olympian gods tend to stand out. Aphrodite, Hera, Asteria, Eos, Selene, Leto, Gaia, Mnemosyne, Rhea, Tethys, and Themis.

"Of those, we know for a fact that Aphrodite and Hera are queens and not likely on our list. Artemis is considered a virgin goddess. But we still have rumors. Asteria is the mother of Hecate. She apparently fled Zeus. It does not say who the father of Hecate was. Eos has many children but none by a known System Lord. Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis by Zeus. She was chased by Hera. She is sometimes called Lethō, meaning to move unseen. Selene had several children by Zeus. Gaia had several children by Ouranos, including Cronus. Mnemosyne had several children by Zeus. Rhea had several children by Cronus, including Zeus. Themis had several children by Zeus. Tethys has several children but none by a known System Lord.

"Which leaves us with the rumors… do any of these rumors match Asteria, Leto, Selene, Gaia, Mnemosyne, Rhea, or Themis?" Danial asked.

"I can actually rule out Gaia and Rhea," Jacob said. "Gaia was a goa'uld queen, but she passed away of old age six thousand years ago. Same with Rhea about two thousand years ago."

"Which just leaves the rest…" Daniel said. "Which one are you Shade?"

SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG

Daniel cornered Jacob in the Dining Facility later that afternoon. "We need to talk. I think we need to chase those rumors. Stop by after dinner," Daniel said. Then he swept off again not giving Jacob time to respond.

Wonder what that was about? Jacob thought to Selmak.

Selmak chuckled. Daniel is chasing mythology turned real. It is fascinating to watch, Selmak replied.

So the rumors are likely the ones about possible Shade candidates? Jacob asked.

Most likely, Selmak replied. Oh, get that one, Selmak said excitedly about the meatloaf.

You get so excited about the simplest things, Jacob smiled. It's just meatloaf. I'm glad I like it too. But we have to have mashed potatoes to go with it. And gravy. I can skip the butter, if I get gravy.

Very well, Selmak said. I can live with that arrangement.

Jacob and Selmak stopped by Daniel's office after dinner to find Daniel buried in books. He raised his eyebrows and knocked to make sure Daniel noticed him.

"Oh good, you're here. Close the door and have a seat," Daniel started. "I have been looking more into the story of Leto, using Artemis as a starting point. As the story goes, Leto became pregnant with twins by Zeus after he tricked her by turning into a swan. Hera chased the pregnant woman relentlessly. The floating island of Delos granted her refuge allowing her to give birth to Apollo and Artemis. Even later, while traveling to Delphi, the giant Tityus tried to abduct her. Apollo killed the giant with arrows."

"Again, chasing the rumors and trying to match myth with reality. Can you match any goa'uld to Apollo and Artemis?" Daniel asked.

Selmak took over, "Yes. Apollo was a minor goa'uld under Zeus. Artemis was also a minor goa'uld under Zeus, but after Apollo was killed."

"What about the island of Delos? Is that real?" Daniel asked.

"Yes. It is a planet in Olokun's domain. It belonged to Cronus for thousands of years before that," Selmak replied.

"What about the incident where the giant tries to abduct Leto?" Daniel said.

"That incident is unusual," Selmak replied. "It could be that the System Lords had discovered that Leto was a queen and attempted to reacquire her. Since the event was witnessed and placed into myth, it grows the story of Apollo and Leto."

"As I recall, Apollo was attacked while on a routine patrol in his ha'tak. He was able to repel the attack and make land fall on a nearby planet. When all of Apollo's Jaffa had been slain, he stood firm and killed the last of the attackers. However, he was fatally wounded. No new host was available," Selmak stated sadly.

"And it was after Apollo was slain that Artemis rose to power as a minor goa'uld?" Daniel asked.

"Yes… In fact, it was within ten years and in that area of space," Selmak said while pondering.

"I'm beginning to think that Apollo was actually Leto," Daniel replied. "I think that Leto was hiding in plain sight. She pretends to be the son of Zeus. She becomes a minor goa'uld in his domain. Somebody gets suspicious or greedy and comes after Apollo. Leto goes back into hiding and comes out as Artemis, sister of Apollo," Daniel said.

"Daniel," Jacob said taking control back, "Apollo died about two thousand years ago."

"We already know that the goa'uld are long lived. The Stargates help them. The sarcophagus hurt them. Shade has traveled through the Stargate and been without a sarcophagus," Daniel said pointedly.

"I think that Leto ran away from Ra. But she didn't know how to hide yet. She started out being goa'uld because that is what she know. It is what her memories told her to do. But she got better at hiding. Artemis disappears into history. A virgin god. Rumors. We lose the trail. Somehow she survives. She learns to live as a human. She learns to ask humans for help hiding. Eventually, she meets Sam," Daniel pointed out.

"Your theory has a ton of suppositions and guesses," Jacob said.

"Most of my theories do. You should read my book. Crazy thing about the pyramids being the landing pads for alien space ships in Egypt," Daniel said with only a little ill feeling.

"Man, I bet you hate being right all the time," Jacob said with a head shake and a smile.

Daniel sighed, "Yeah, it usually annoys Jack."

"So what made you settle on Leto?" Jacob asked.

"The stories mostly," Daniel said. "While the others were mothers, Hera didn't care even if Zeus got them pregnant. Their stories were just the generic god stories. Leto was more personal. Then there was the Artemis tie in… Chasing rumors."

"It fits," Jacob said. "We will keep it to ourselves."

"Well, if Shade has melded with Jack, I think that she is going to change how she hides," Daniel said. "Jack gets bored easily. With Shade's ability to hide, I can see them both wreaking havoc on Anubis because Jack is bored. Sam will probably help just to blow stuff up."

"Then we need to figure out a safe way to get intel to them," Jacob said. "Sam said they were still working out logistics. You know that means they won't stay bored long."

"No. I just hope they stay safe," Daniel said.

"So do I, Daniel," Jacob said. "So do I."

SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG-SG

Jack and Sam were relaxing in the bridge of the Al'kesh after a rather vigorous christening of the control panel. As their bodies cooled with the smell of sex in the air, Sam stared out at the star field and gave a small sigh.

"What?" Jack asked.

"Oh, just thinking," Sam replied.

"I'm not surprised," Jack quipped. He turned his attention to the star field. "I think the honeymoon is over," he said softly.

"What was that?" Sam asked.

"The honeymoon. Us. Alone in space… sort of…" Jack said. "It's over."

Sam looked confused, "I don't understand."

Jack gave her a lopsided smile, "As much as I can't get enough of you… EVER… I am bored. You look bored, when we are not engaged in acts of sin."

"Well," Sam said as she looked at him carefully, "What do you propose?"

"Shade needs to stay safe. We need to not be bored. Anubis needs to die. He is a queen killer. It is in all of our best interests if he dies. We pool our resources and take him out from the shadows," Jack said.

"While hiding Shade?" Sam asked.

"Of course. It's my ass too, you know," Jack said.

"Shade?" Sam asked.

"Shade is getting sick of the Al'kesh. She wants to go to Asteria," Jack said.

"Is Asteria safe?" Sam asked.

"We'll find out if the family of Xanthos is still maintaining the Lykia in secret. If they are, then it is safe. If not, we find a new planet to base our operations," Jack said.

Sam started to get the calculating look in her eye. She started to work out what they would need and how to get it and working through the various logistics as Jack set the auto-pilot to Asteria. It was not far from their current position.

"We should probably get dressed," Jack said as he steered Sam back to the bedroom with their clothing.

They stayed in orbit long enough to ensure they were undetected in their descent. They landed the cloaked Al'kesh on a mountain meadow next to a sheer cliff and surrounded by rocky walls. Jack and Sam exited the Al'kesh and waited next to the ring platform.

A few minutes later the rings activated and a man appeared. He was wearing the local clothing. It was not overly worn or too rich. His boots were broken in but not overly used. He had the appearance of a man of middle age and class.

"Greetings, I am Gustav Xanthan. How may I help you?" Gustav asked.

Jack stepped forward, "Gustav of the family Xanthos, well met. I am Jack and this is Sam. We are here to see the Lykia."

The words Jack spoke seemed to release whatever hesitation Gustav had in their presence. "Then welcome. It has been many years since you were able to visit. My family has kept everything as you have desired. Come," Gustav said eagerly leading them to a specific place on the sheer rock wall.

Gustav handed Jack two things. The first was a special naquadah triggered key. It was similar to the one they had seen at the safe house. The only difference was that it was kept by the Xanthos family. The family also had another way into the complex that was triggered by their DNA. This door is the only one that allowed non-Xanthos DNA into the facility.

The second item was a small hand device. It was this planet's version of a smart phone. Asteria was more technologically advanced than they allowed the goa'uld to see. The goa'uld Olokun left them alone as long as they provided crops. Those fields were set aside and harvested often to keep Olokun away from the planet.

The planet was too small and insignificant for Olokun to be concerned with. It was in the center of his territory. Not near any of his contested borders. No Jaffa settlement were on it to be concerned with the Free Jaffa. To minor goa'uld were in charge of it, to be concerned with Tok'ra spies.

Jack activated the key and opened the doorway. It was just as Shade remembered it. The living area was large and open. The bedroom area was private and comfortable. Then Jack moved to another area down a second hallway.

It led to the tanks. Jack looked over the whole area and he could easily see a large swimming area in the tanks with an energy field and bubbles rising to the top.

"Jack?" Sam asked coming up behind him.

"Shade thinks it's time," Jack said quietly.

"Do you need Jaffa? Or can they spend the seven years in here?" Sam asked softly.

"I want them to be safe…" Jack said vehemently.

"They will be safe here. They will be alone in a Jaffa. But there are those Jaffa who would gladly hide to keep the symbiote safe," Sam said. "Think of Rya'c. Master Bra'tac must know of other Jaffa."

"For now, they should stay here," Jack said firmly.

"For now," Sam agreed.

"Come on. I wanted to show you the lab," Jack said suddenly changing the subject.

"A lab?" Sam asked perking up. "You know the best presents to get me…"

"You might have to share it," Jack said. "I get bored easily."

"I can share. I just reserve the right to jump you every now and then," Sam said coyly.

"Only every now and then," Jack asked with a mock frown.

"Well… I can't be THAT easy…" Sam replied. Sam stopped as she caught sight of the lab. "Oh…"

It was crammed with every goa'uld scientific device that Sam had ever seen. It had crystal tuner and calibrator. Sam was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff. It looked like her lab back at the SGC. There were even special toolboxes with specialized tools for use with the crystals.

Jack smirked, "Lots of doohickeys for you to play with… lots of things for me to tinker with…"

"I'm just… going to…" Sam said as she wandered over to the first workstation and started to explore.
