Callisthene sat at the top of a building meditating. Deep meditation appeared to help her host however any progress at reclaiming her hosts memory was slow coming. Callisthene's host had been found several years before on a vacant planet that had been scouted for a base. When she had been found she had been essentially an empty shell with no memories of her own. She had lived among the Tok'Ra until she decided on her own to become a host because it was thought that having a symbiote might help her recover her memories. This had proven to be inaccurate as the only thing that had been discovered was a long forgotten gate address, a planet that they were now stranded on, at first they were running from some type of machine gone wrong but now they were trapped inside a city while the humans buried the gate.

"Callisthene how long have we been at this?" A voice stirred within their shared mind.

Callisthene thought back to herself, "Not as long as usual Calli but if you are growing tired I suppose we can go and wander around the city." Where her host had no memory or even an identity of her own she had taken to calling herself a shortened version of her name and it worked for them seeing as Callisthene was the dominate personality.

As they walked Calli kept whispering through her head, "I am sorry that I have you trapped on this planet. If I had known that we wouldn't be able to get off I would never have begged you to bring me here trying to find myself."

Callisthene sighed, "You don't need to apologize. This has been a very rewarding study. This planet the people are technologically advanced but yet they have no clue that the Goa'uld are out there. I would trade all my thousand years just to see a society that has no fear of vengeful Gods. If others of my kind could see this they wouldn't believe that this is the type of world we all dream of, a world where Humans can just be well human.

"Callisthene what is that just outside of the city? I don't remember that being there the last time we walked through this part of the city." Calli asked as they stopped on a bridge that looked out over the city limits and into the wastelands that they had escaped from months beforehand.

"I noticed it the other day and I have been observing it. Apparently the citizens of this planet have allies who are powerful and due to the computer virus that nearly took over they have asked for a security force to help monitor their planet." Callisthene explained, "I have stayed away from them because of the legends my people tell about this region of space."

"I wonder if we could get a tour. Maybe they might have some answers to who I am." Calli mused as she stretched her mind again.

"I would rather not go near there at this time. I would like to learn more from a distance." Callisthene thought back, "Would you like to switch for a time? This is one of your favorite neighborhoods."

Daniel looked around the city. He could hardly believe that Jack had allowed him, Sam and Teal'c to travel to Ocean Bluff.

Teal'c raised an eyebrow although the motion was concealed by his hat, "Do you really think that we will be able to actually see a power ranger?"

Sam laughed, "I don't know but if we can get footage of one fighting I think we could finally get the General off of the tabloid and hoax business.

Daniel snorted, "He will just say we raided a costume department and made it all up."

Sam nodded as she patted her side bag which contained a portable EM scanner and a few other borrowed items from the Prometheus, "Probably however if I can just get close enough to one I think we can get some interesting readings."

Teal'c was looking around their surroundings when his eyes stopped on a large colorful sign.

Daniel looked as well, "Good thinking T, we can't have a stakeout without pizza and that place seems to be the popular pizza place in town."

Sam shook her head, "We aren't really here on a stake out. But pizza does sound good. Interesting name by the way, wonder what inspired the name Jungle Karma Pizza?"

As they walked in the door Sam looked around and Daniel remarked, "I think you can take your earlier question back about this place."

Teal'c stood face to face with a monkey that was sitting on a trashcan holding onto a vine that seemed to wrap around the dining area. "Indeed."

A man who seemed to be striving to be the mad scientists of pizza parlors everywhere came over to them and showed them to a booth, "May I interest you in today's specials?"

Daniel announced, "I think we will just go with a Large Pepperoni if that is alright, we are just visiting the area."

The waiter seemed to become frustrated when young woman came over, "RJ, you have been creating a lot today, why don't you go upstairs and take a break while I take their order."

RJ nodded, "Yes that sounds like an excellent idea Lilly. Thank you." The man walked off muttering things about what was wrong with people who weren't adventurous.

Lilly laughed, "I am sorry but you will have to forgive RJ, he can be a bit strong willed when it comes to making unique pizza's for the adventurous soul. I will be right out with your pepperoni pizza. I am Lilly by the way."

Daniel shook his head, "Well we know who created this place because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Just as Lilly was making her way back to the kitchen after checking on a few other tables she ran into a girl who ran into the room without really looking where she was going. "Good Afternoon Fran, I have your usual all ready, I will bring it out."

"I knew I liked you Lilly!" the girl smiled as she seemed to acclimate to the pizza place and settle into her place, "Hey has there been any you know explosions today? I didn't miss anything did I?"

Lilly shook her head as she made her way back towards the counter, "No Fran it has been a quiet day so far."

Fran nodded, "Well I am here if you guys need me, you know I am always prepared to help out."

"Thanks but you know I hope it remains quiet, we could use a day to just relax." Lilly laughed as if she was making a joke.

Daniel looked at Sam, "Wonder what other days are like around here if this is a quiet day."

Sam nodded as she looked around at the packed lunchtime rush. This place was successful because every table and booth was filled. "I wouldn't doubt if the explosions were caused by that RJ guy."

A few minutes later there was a crash in the kitchen and Fran jumped from her seat at the counter. Many of the people in the restaurant didn't seem to be phased by the commotion and treated it like it was a normal afternoon in the jungle.

When their pizza came out Lilly didn't bring it but instead Fran who was now wearing a Jungle Karma uniform and smiled as she put their pizza on the table.

Sam asked, "I thought Lilly was going to be our server?"

Fran just smiled and exclaimed, "She had to make a delivery, I am sure she will be back shortly."

Sure enough before they had finished Lilly came out to check on them. Daniel noticed that for someone who had just done a delivery she seemed out of breath.

Later that day hey retired to a hotel and when Sam went to download the data from the EM scanner even though they hadn't encountered any ranger battles she frowned, "The EM scanner is picking up higher than normal readings during the time frame that we were at that pizza parlor especially when our server was near us."

Daniel leaned over to look at the sensor data, "That is very strange."

Teal'c was flipping through television channels when he got to a local news channel. Ironically the channel was running an update on an attack in the business district. "Colonel Carter, You might want to see this."

Sam paused her program and looked at the television screen when she noticed the time stamp of the attack, "Of all the times we had to eat lunch. We missed our opportunity."

Daniel shook his head and looked back at the computer screen, "No, I don't think we did. Think about it. The attack happened while we were in the restaurant. Our server who shows up on your EM scanner disappeared and then returned out of breath."

Sam shook her head as she looked at everyone, "Tomorrow we stake the pizza place out."

Daniel laughed, "Safe to say that we will not be returning empty handed."

Sam interpreted the data further and shook her head, "You might just be right about Lilly. The more I look at this data, it confirms that Lilly's EM reading was higher when she returned then before she left, something happened to her while she was on her delivery."

Aisha walked into the garage and set down a box of materials. "I think I have what you need Justin."

Justin looked at the box and nodded, "You really do deliver."

"I try, although it wasn't easy getting my hands on these things. It would be easier if I could get this directly from an off world dealer." Aisha nodded, "I paid a bundle for these repurposed scraps that were left over from various explosions, but they were used in some of the Zords that have been destroyed so the material is of a grade that we can use."

"You are amazing." Justin said as she sorted the materials, "I think I have enough here to recreate the other three Turbo morphers. The real question would be if I can get them to actually work."

"I think you will be able to and just to show you how much trust I have, I will volunteer to take the yellow morpher. I would be more comfortable with my own color. I just feel drained trying to channel Red energy and I haven't even had to morph with it." Aisha shook her head.

"I could use another teammate." Justin laughed, "There will be a day when we need to have our morphers ready to fight again."

SG1 PR

Jack slammed his hands down angrily on the table, "You beg to go off to some small town because of a hunch based on your ranger theories promising to bring back proof and you don't bring back any pictures that I can sell to the tabloids?"

Daniel leaned forward, "This was never about the tabloids Jack, You have seen it, and there is enough evidence to prove that the rangers are real. We were out looking for them and while we didn't actually see them fight we think we can now detect a ranger especially if they have recently done whatever they do to become Rangers."

Sam pulled a profile up on the screen, "Meet Lilly Chillman, she is eighteen years old. Not much is known about her except for the fact that three years ago she was an aspiring Kung Fu artist. Her Sensei spoke very highly of her skill and dedication. Three years ago he last saw her talking to a recruiter whom he said was not uncommon, the next day he found a note saying she was withdrawing from his school. Fast forward to earlier this year she turns up working at a pizza parlor pulling disappearing acts which based on the fact that the owner has a temp worker who sits at the shop all day waiting to be needed indicates that he knows what is up."

Justin knocked on the briefing room door seeing that it was in use, "General O'Neil, I brought those reports that you requested."

Jack nodded and Justin walked in, "Thank you, and not a moment too soon. I was getting bored with their babel about EM readings."

Justin looked at the screen briefly and noticed the town and information and nodded, "Do you think she is a ranger then?"

Justin snorted, "I wouldn't know and I don't make a practice of playing the who's a ranger game. If they wanted us to know who they are they would tell us."

Jack looked on floored, "You really are one of them."

Justin laughed, "If you mean that because you recruited me with the ties that I have to suspected GSA members then yes I am one of them. And know I don't know if she is a ranger or not, that isn't my place." Sam looked at Jack with disbelief.

"Don't give him that look; I knew from day one that that is why the SGC wanted me. They wanted to watch me to see if they could learn more about the GSA. I know I have been watched as well. Does this mean I am going to make a runner? No, I will stick around and participate, but I can tell you that you aren't going to learn anything from me."

Jack raised his arms in the air, "I give up!"

"Good General O'Neil because you are going to need your mind open once the messenger comes." Justin nodded, "And Colonel Carter and Dr. Jackson I wouldn't eagerly try to reveal a ranger's identity, if you haven't seen it only causes problems for them because they have to relocate if it becomes too compromised."

Daniel leaned forward, "Messenger?"

Justin shook his head, "I don't know when or who will be coming but someone is to be coming in the near future to explain to you the next step. Now that we are on the same page, I need you to give me something."

Sam nodded, "what do you need from us."

Justin pulled a round piece of metal from his pocket, "I need two things for my cooperation, I need to know that my cooperation will go no further than this room and if you give me the one you have like this in your possession I will give you this one which is an exact replica except it doesn't have any power flowing through it."

Teal'c looked at the young scientist, "Why do you have such an interest in the coin that you would give us a copy of it."

Justin looked around, "All you should know is that the one you have is very important and if it falls into the wrong hands in its broken state could mean the end of the universe as you know it."

Jack leaned forward, "And just because you are cooperating with us means you are the right person to have it?"

"If it is so dangerous why don't we send it to be locked up in a containment unit?" Sam asked

Justin snorted, "Good thought except only certain people can touch it as you may have noticed."

Jack raised his hands up, "What don't look at me."

Justin shook his head, "If you want to cooperate with me you can bring the coin to my house and make the trade there. I will leave you to the decision on whether you will cooperate with me but know if you choose not to follow through I will know before anyone can interrogate me." Justin stood and left the briefing room leaving an awkward void in the room.

Sam stood and checked the security camera before shaking her head, "I don't know how they do it but our security feed has been running on a loop since before he came into the room."

Daniel sighed, "Well I guess we have no proof that he was ever in this room with us."

Sam shook her head, "Not exactly, I did have the EM scanner with me." She plugged it into her computer to transfer the readings only she was surprised to find that there had been no spike in readings while Justin had been in the room.

Jack snapped his fingers, "Well there goes that theory."

Sam looked up abruptly, "Not exactly, Justin mentioned that the coin has power while the one he had didn't, maybe it isn't the person but some device they carry."

Jack slapped himself in the face, "Let me guess I get to test your theory out."

Sam shrugged, "You are the only person we have encountered that can hold it."

Daniel raised a finger, "Correction he is the only person with the ATA that we have tried to have hold the object."

SG1 PR

Sam got out of her car while Jack followed behind her carefully holding the coin wrapped in a cloth. After finding out that the coin was emitting very high and fluctuating levels of Electro Magnetic radiation he had quickly avoided all contact with the object. He was still against handing the device off and he still didn't want to believe but he wanted the cursed object off of his base. He had been against keeping it near him at all but Sam had tried to carry it in a box and it still sparked energy and Daniel had pointed out that Dr. Cranston had had it right in his living room. Whatever energy it produced was somehow not harmful to Humans.

Daniel closed the passenger door behind Jack and they made their way to the front door of Justin Stewart's house. Teal'c had chosen to watch a Twilight Zone marathon instead of coming with them.

Before Sam could fully knock the door swung open and a woman stood before them wearing a red hoody over what appeared to be a yellow African dress. She stared at them for a few seconds before opening the door, "Justin told me you might be stopping by. If you will have a seat I will go and get him."

The girl disappeared but didn't return when Justin came out of the adjoined garage, "Sorry Aisha isn't so sure about the trust I have in you. She is my teammate but is very wary of outsiders and with good reason."

Justin held out the replica coin, "you give me yours and this is yours for the taking."

Jack quickly unwrapped the coin he was holding and Justin walked over to him. Without a care in the world he picked up the coin and cradled it in his hands, "You don't need to be afraid of the coin especially if you can handle it, if you can't it will let you know."

Sam looked at how Justin was holding the coin, "My scanner was picking up dangerous levels of EM radiation from it, are you sure you should be holding it?"

Justin smiled, "Your scanner interprets it as radiation because it does not know the power source but it is actually far different and harmless to organic beings. The reason why it seems so unstable is because it is broken." Justin placed the fake into Jack's hand and nodded.

SG1 PR

Sam sat in Jack's office with a file open on the desk between them. "We can apparently rule out the ancient gene as whatever gives you the ability to handle the Ranger's coins."

Jack leaned forward. Since believing in Justin he had become a little more open to the idea that the GSA was real and not just some universal joke. "How can you be certain?"

Sam flipped to another file, "This is Major Earnhardt's file and she also tested negative for the ancient gene."

Jack nodded, "Right Earnhardt was the first one who came forward but I told her off because I didn't believe the crazy talk. Has anyone questioned her further or looked into her records to see where the ranger talk might fit into her lifestyle?"

"Yes, I have unofficially talked with her but she seems unrelenting to let me know anything." Sam nodded.

"We have two known rangers and their blood samples have come back negative. Is there a chance that it was a false positive?" Jack asked as he rubbed his chin.

Sam gave Jack an eyebrow clearly not used to such questions from her former team leader. "We ran everyone's test three times just to be sure that we didn't' get false positives. The only person with the ATA gene who has possible connections is Dr. Greyson at this time."

The alarms started to sound and Harriman's voice echoed through the office, "Unscheduled incoming wormhole!"

Sam and Jack both leapt to their feet and ran down the stairs into the control room.

Harriman looked up to the General as he saw his reflection in the window, "No IDC yet sir and we don't have any off world teams due back today." Harriman paused and pressed his ear piece in further, "Correction sir we have radio communication confirming the Corinthum as the point of origin."

Jack shook his head, "We really need to get those guys a GDO."

Sam shrugged, "We hear from them maybe once a year."

Jack nodded, "Open the Iris and give them confirmation. It is probably Tenaya again but have a security team set up just in case they aren't friendly for once."

Jack's suspicion was correct as Tenaya stepped through the gate but this time with an assistant and she was wearing an official uniform.
