Jacob reeled back with a startled cry. Daniel leapt to his feet and tried to lunge over the table but Jack grabbed him in around the waist and hauled him back, Teal'c rushing over to assist. Sam with Anise pulled Jacob away from the table and was trying to pry his hands from his face to assess the damage. Hammond quickly got to his feet and called for a medical team and security.
"The demon must die. Let me go so I can kill him this is the will of the Gods." Daniel yelled fighting against Teal'c and Jack.
Daniel slipped his right arm out of the sling and was struggling ferociously with the two men. The Heretics training and Daniel's own zeal kept the Former First Prime and the ex black ops operator from subduing him. Hammond quickly came over to try and calm the situation.
"Daniel Jackson as your General and Lord I order you to stand down."
Daniel stilled at hearing Hammond's orders and Jack and Teal'c swiftly pinned his arms behind his back. Daniel's gaze slid around the room spotting Sam and Freya helping Jacob.
"Why are they helping that demon?" Daniel demanded harshly then stared at Hammond "You are with him; all of you are with him." He renewed his struggle trying desperately to free himself. "Traitors you have betrayed your race you don't deserve to live."
"Dr. Jackson the Tokra are not the Goa'uld we have not betrayed humanity by working with them. In fact the Tokra are doing everything they can to overthrow the" Before Hammond could finish Daniel spat in his face.
By that time security had arrived and they quickly wrestled Daniel to the ground and bound his arms behind his back. The medical team arrived right on their heels and Dr. Fraiser quickly injected Daniel with a sedative.
"Take Dr. Jackson to his room, restrain him to the bed and have Dr. Ford stay with him." Dr. Fraiser ordered.
The guards looked at General Hammond "Do it."
The guards nodded and they and Teal'c carried Jackson out of the room. Dr. Fraiser had already turned her attention to Jacob Carter and ordered him removed to the infirmary. General Hammond ordered two additional guards to Daniel's VIP room then went to the infirmary. He found Dr. Fraiser and a nurse pulling glass shards out of Jacob's face.
"How is he is Major?" Hammond asked Sam
"We're not sure yet, Dr. Fraiser is still removing glass." Sam reported
"I offer my deepest apologies for Dr. Jackson's actions. I take full responsibility and I will do everything I can to make it right." Hammond said to Freya
"This is not your fault or his; it is the fault of the Heroties, they must be stopped." Anise responded
"Agreed, as soon as Dr. Jackson is awake I will question him myself." Hammond said
Sam came back with the healing device forestalling further conversation. Dr. Fraiser finished removing the glass shards and wrapped his face up.
"How is he Dr. Fraiser?" General Hammond asked
"Selmac is repairing the injuries but he might lose his right eye. A large shard pierced it and while I was able to remove it, the piece caused extensive damage."
"Thank you Dr. Fraiser, if Selmac is unable to repair the damage, we can fix it when we get back to base." Freya the host said taking back control.
"I'm going to treat Daniel's wounds, I should be able to so in his room." Fraiser said signaling to a nurse.
Daniel Jackson woke up three hours after the assault on Jacob Carter. His boots were off and his wrists and ankles were restrained in soft cuffs. Jack was playing chess with Dr. Ford at the table.
"Jack." Daniel called out weakly tugging at his restraints.
"Daniel, how are you feeling?" Dr. Ford asked coming over.
"Fine, what happened?"
"You don't remember?" Ford asked
Daniel shook his head and Dr. Ford signaled Jack to come over.
"Hey Danny Boy do you really not remember almost taking down Teal'c?" Jack asked lightly.
Daniel stared at him taking in his slight limp and black eye."Oh God, Jacob!" Daniel exclaimed in horror bolting upright as much as he could "How is he? Is he going to be alright?" Daniel asked rapidly
"Yes, he'll make a full recovery." Dr. Ford said quickly, putting a hand on Daniel's right shoulder and pushing him down.
Daniel sank his down onto on the pillows in relief.
"Listen General Hammond is going to be here soon, I want to know if you'll be calm if I remove the restraints." Ford said
Daniel nodded and Dr. Ford and Jack quickly undo the straps. Daniel sat up slowly rubbing his wrists which were still raw from his suicide attempt. Jack helped Daniel to the bathroom, then over to a chair while they waited for Hammond. Twenty minutes passed before Hammond came. Hammond entered with two Air men but seeing the three men quietly sitting ordered them to wait outside.
"General Hammond I am so sorry about what happened. I, I don't know what came over me Selmac's eyes flashed and I lost control." Daniel said standing and studying the floor.
"It's alright son, the people who had you extensively brainwashed you. I believe the Goa'uld eyes and voice was used as a trigger to motivate their soldiers. But I need you to tell me where they are located." General Hammond said
"I can't, I can't, I can't." Daniel said brokenly staring at the floor
"Dr. Jackson, Daniel I know how hard this is but we need to know. They kidnapped a member of my command, they brainwashed one of the finest men I have ever known into attacking and slaughtering a town full of innocent people and to fly into a rage and blindly attack an ally and friend. Daniel as I have said you are one of the finest and best souls I have ever met and if they can break you and compel you to act so against your conscience, imagine what they have compelled lesser men to do." Hammond said putting a hand on Daniel's shoulder
Daniel collapsed and fell to the floor, Jack instantly kneeling next to him and helped prop him up. They remained that way for a few minutes with Daniel occasionally trying to beat his breast but stopped every time by Jack. Daniel slowly pushed himself to his feet and studied General Hammond.
"I will give you the coordinates, but I want you to do everything you can to not harm the men they have captured. I don't want a massacre I know there methods are wrong and fanatical but they truly believe they are necessary to save humanity from the Goa'uld."
"I'll do what I can." Hammond said
Daniel sat down and wrote on a piece of paper for some time before handing it over. "Do not send a MALP, send a Drone they won't expect that." He said quietly before going to a corner and kneeling down his head bowed in prayer.
Hammond took a step towards Daniel but stopped himself and left. He walked to the conference room where Jacob, Freya, Sam, and Teal'c were waiting.
"He gave us the Address and told us to send a UAV instead of a MALP. Jacob, Freya you are free to contact the Tokra and organize a group to accompany the members of StarGate Command but I will be putting Jack in charge."
The two Tokra voiced their consent and left to report back to the Tokra High Counsel. Two hours later 6 Tokra arrived through the Stargate. They, SG Teams 1, 2, and 10, and General Hammond went over the plan. The UAV had shown no life signs beyond a village three hours from the gate and about fifty villagers. The terrain was mountainous and it seemed judging from Daniel's descriptions of being constantly underground that the Heretics resided in the mountains. General Hammond ordered them to move out at Seven Hundred hours and dismissed everyone to prepare. SGI grabbed food every tasty thing they could think of from the cafeteria and went to visit Daniel. They found him talking to Jacob Carter with Dr. Ford and Airman Johnson in attendance.
"I give you my word Daniel, I will do everything I can to protect your men." Jacob said taking Daniel's hand
"Thank you." Daniel said gripping Jacob's hand, then raised his right hand into a fist and put it over his heart and bowed his head.
"You are welcome." Jacob said and left ignoring SG1's questioning looks.
Daniel refused all food and ignored his teammates going to a corner and praying. Teal'c, Jack, and Sam stayed for an hour but Daniel did not move a single muscle. The next morning seventeen warriors assembled in front of the Star Gate. The Gate was dialed and after a few words from General Hammond they marched through the gate.
