I don't know shit about medicine or biology or... anyway, enjoy this next part, and please humor my attempts at sounding smart. Also, sorry for all the talking in this chapter. I'm not good at vocal characterization, so I apologize if anyone (other than the obvious) sounds out-of-character.

Note: Just like Baal, Hadad uses her host's speaking voice. I'm not sure I ever clarified that.


She stared down a small woman, not much taller than her young servant girl. She had to give the woman credit – she wouldn't cower from her.

"You will let me go. I must find Baal."

The woman smirked, and Hadad felt herself grow angry. There was only so much defiance she would put up with.

"You're not going anywhere, Sam –"

"Your Samantha Carter is dead."

"- and you're under my command. You will stay right here."

"Baal will punish you for your insolence. If you let me go now, I might convince him take mercy on you." She tried pulling on the chains that held her down, but they wouldn't give. She was far too tired of being chained down.

The woman uncrossed her arms, and Hadad watched her wearily. Despite her power, she knew that she could only do so much while held hostage. The small woman – Janet Fraiser, Hadad pieced together from Samantha's fractured memories – had already incapacitated her once, and she'd be damned if she let it happen again.

The woman sighed and Hadad noted that she looked tired. Good. Maybe the small bitch would leave her alone.

"Sam, you don't have a live symbiote in your body. You aren't Hadad. You're Major Samantha Carter, USAF."

Hadad smirked, but didn't have time to retort because the doors opened behind her.

A young man, handsome in his own right, with brown hair and large-rimmed glasses, walked through the door. Daniel Jackson. Sam didn't remember him, but Hadad knew him as a member of SG-1. Hadad smiled sweetly at him, hoping she could trick him.

He glanced at her, but immediately turned to the doctor. "Janet, they need you with Jack. He's awake and causing a scene." That weary look that she'd seen in before crossed Janet's eyes again, but she nodded lightly and left.

Daniel turned back to Sam. "Hey, Sam. Janet tells me you aren't getting any better."

"I'm getting better," she lied. "Recovery would probably be faster if Janet would let me get some fresh air. I've been cooped up so long, ya know?"

"Sure," Daniel eyed her. His arms were crossed defensively and he stayed far enough away from her so that she couldn't touch him.

"Daniel," she whined, and she saw a look of concern briefly cross his face. He was the empath of the group, and she figured she could use that to her advantage.

"Sam?"

"Baal had me chained up for six months. My feet rarely touched the floor. Do you know how amazing this cold concrete feels compared to being suspended for days on end?" She shuffled her feet on the floor for effect, and she saw him grow wary. "But I don't remember what it's like to be able to stretch. To be able to move freely."

She watched him flinch. "Sorry, Sam. I can't unchain you. Not until we figure out what's wrong with you."

Her stomach felt hot with fire. She was tired of dealing with the pathetic humans. "Nothing's wrong with me. I'm fine."

"No, you aren't. And whatever's wrong with you is also happening to Jack, so if you can remember anything that'll help us, we might be able to come to a compromise."

"Oh, don't tease me," her eyes grew dark.

He was too big. She could feel him split her open and force himself inside, and she swore that she could hear herself tear. Sex was supposed to be pleasure, but this was torture. He rammed into her, over and over, as she choked on her own blood.

"Please, Sam, Jack needs your help." He wasn't quite begging, but she could almost taste the air of desperation he exuded.

"I thought you were going to rescue me." She cried as he climbed on top of her, his eyes full of hate and lust.

"That's too bad," she dismissed.

Daniel's face twisted in confusion. "Sam? He's your friend."

"Friends don't rape friends." She ground out as she laid back on her 'bed.' She could hear Daniel exhale deeply, and it was silent for a long few moments. The air was thick, and Hadad grinned as she could very nearly feel Daniel work through her revelation.

"You don't mean that…he wouldn't." Daniel tried to justify.

"He raped me, and tortured me, and watched as I choked on my own blood. Did you know that he fucked me so hard he killed me?"

Daniel's face grew pale, and Hadad was glad she was able to gain some control over the situation.

It was silent again while Daniel tried to sort through how to process and respond, and he ended up decided to change the subject.

"You're not Hadad, you know that?"

"I am!" She roared. She yanked at the chains on her bed and they clinked loudly against the posts. "I am Hadad, your queen."

"Hadad. I did some research on you. Your name derives from the Neolithic – late Bronze Age, in the ancient city of Ugarit. You were considered the lord of the sky, and the governor of rain and fertility."

"I am the lord of the sky! You should watch your words, Daniel Jackson. I will not be chained here forever."

"The funny thing is, you were also considered Baal's lover. That really explains a lot, you know."

"I am his queen, and when he captures you, he will not be merciful to you. I will make sure of that."

"If you're his queen, why did you separate for over a century? I don't know any god that would rule without his queen at his side." At this point, she knew Daniel was just fishing for information, but she wouldn't let him doubt her. He would bow to her soon enough.

"Does that really matter to you, Daniel Jackson? I thought you wanted to know more about how to save your friend."

"I didn't think you were willing to tell me."

"You can't imagine the things Samantha has been through these past six months. You know, she blamed you at first."

Daniel flinched again, and she laughed.

"Sam, you know we'd never abandon you. We never stopped looking for you."

"Your friend as you knew her is no longer. She was damaged long before I could have healed her."

Daniel was about to reply, but he was interrupted by the sound of him being paged.

"Looks like you have somewhere else to be."

Daniel glanced at her, but didn't respond. He quickly turned on his heels and rushed out the door. As he did so, she noticed the guards standing outside her door.

She laid back on the bed, and staring up at the ceiling, she started to scream.


"Let me go!" He demanded. He was surrounded again, and despite his previous failed attempts at breaking away from the handcuffs that kept him bound to the metal bars of his observation bed, he continued to thrash.

"Colonel O'Neill, I'm going to have order you to calm down. It's too soon after your sedation to administer any more medicine."

He glared at the petite doctor, easily a foot shorter than him and a hundred pounds less. "Who put such a small bitch in charge?"

She stood forward, as if getting ready to give him a dressing down, but Jacob Carter pushed in front of her.

"Jack, don't be such an ass. We'll talk about letting you go once you calm down."

Realizing he wasn't getting anywhere but cutting his wrists raw, he decided to sit on the bed. "You won't let me go."

"Not until we can figure out what's causing you to act this way, no." Janet was resolute.

"Jacob Carter," he ignored her. "Samantha's father. You should be proud of your daughter."

"Oh yeah? Why is that?"

"When I fucked her with a knife sticking out of her gut, she held on for a long time. I didn't think she'd survive, but damn if she didn't try."

Jacob's eyes grew dark, and he noticed that Selmak took over to calm him down. Jack rolled his head back in laughter, and Janet and Jacob exchanged glances.

"You've gotta have your snake calm you down. Hilarious."

"Colonel, if we could please…." Janet tried to interrupt.

"She was choking on her own blood, Jacob. And she still enjoyed it. The good little soldier enjoyed being raped. Did you know your daughter was into that? I was too big for her, you know. She tried to scream. She thought I was going to rescue her."

He smirked as he watched Jacob's internal struggle with Selmak. Jacob abruptly jerked and turned to leave. "I'll be in General Hammond's office."

As he walked out, Janet turned to face him. Her features were schooled, but he knew she was angry.

"That was highly inappropriate, Colonel."

"Bite me," he sneered.

She grimaced at him, trying to figure out what to say next, but she was interrupted by one of the guards telling her that she was needed in General Hammond's office.

"Better go. Wouldn't want to keep the big bad boss waiting, now would you?"

She smirked at him but didn't say anything. She instructed the guards to watch him, and he watched as she swiftly walked out the doors.


Daniel stood next to General Hammond's desk, and started when Jacob busted through the door, with Janet Fraiser following quickly behind him. Teal'c stood next to the door and was almost hit, but he reflexively caught it and closed it behind them. General Hammond stood when he saw the angry look on Jacob's face, and almost immediately Selmak took over.

"I apologize for Jacob, General Hammond. Our interaction with Colonel O'Neill was most…unpleasant."

Hammond looked at Janet and she nodded in agreement, but didn't elaborate.

Sighing, he motioned toward the chairs in front of him. "Have a seat."

Teal'c remained standing and stoic in the back of the room. Janet took a seat, and Selmak motioned to Daniel to take the other one. Jacob was too riled up to sit.

"Thank you all for coming. As you know, Kinsey has been pressuring me to release Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill over to the NID. The president agreed that Kinsey has no immediate ground to stand on, but that doesn't mean he won't change his mind. Have any of you made any progress trying to diagnose either of their…conditions?" Hammond wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation they were in. He had no explanation for either of their behaviors, and the NID was eager to get their hands on two of his best.

"I have not encountered something like this, General Hammond," Teal'c stated, not unempathetically. Usually Doctor Fraiser came to him for advice on 'alien' diseases, but he was of no help this time. It hurt him to see his teammates – and friends – acting so odd, especially so soon after the recovery of Major Carter.

Both Daniel and Janet shook their heads, but then Selmak spoke up.

"I have seen something similar. I did not realize it until I spent time with Colonel O'Neill; however, I do apologize that I have just now come up with an idea." Janet looked at Selmak with both professional and personal curiousity, and Daniel physically leaned closer to Jacob.

"It's alright, Selmak," Hammond reassured.

"Once, when I worked undercover as one of Baal's slaves, he used a liquid not unlike the Blood of Sokar we experienced on Netu to cause humans to hallucinate. From my understanding, he was able to control the hallucinations."

"What does that have to do with Jack and Sam?" Daniel asked innocently, but Janet glared at him for interrupting.

"Baal was able to make humans essentially 'swap' places with each other. For example, it is my belief that perhaps while Baal…." Selmak trailed off, unsure of how to phrase the next part of her explanation.

"Forcefully violated?" Janet supplied sheepishly.

Selmak looked at her and continued. "…while Baal 'forcefully violated' Major Carter, he used the hallucinogenic to make Colonel O'Neill believe it was him that was doing the action, and Major Carter believe that it was Colonel O'Neill violating her."

The room was silent while they considered the heaviness and ramifications of Selmak's words. If they were true, they weren't sure how either of them would come back from this.

"What does that have to do with how they're acting now?" Daniel asked lamely.

"When the drug wore off, there were instances when the user would, for your understanding, be 'stuck' in that hallucination. If Colonel O'Neill believed he was in Baal's position, he might begin to show symptoms of Baal's personality. The difference in Major Carter is that because she experienced the drug with another – her goa'uld symbiote – she became her other consciousness, rather than just their personality."

"When we did an EEG, it should two consciousness in both of them."

"Yes, it is not unlikely. The drug is very powerful, and completely overtakes the human mind, but much like a symbiote, the user is still present."

"So…" Daniel trailed.

"How do we get them back to normal?" Hammond finished.

They all watched as Selmak and Jacob seemed to talk inwardly, before Jacob came forward.

"That's just it," he said, defeated. "Selmak was never able to see anyone come back after that. Baal tortured them until they needed to be revived by the sarcophagus, at which point he usually just disposed of them and began again with new prisoners."

"We cannot kill Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill," Teal'c stated obviously.

The tension in the room was thick, and no one knew what to say next. Suddenly, the alarms began blaring.

"Medical team to Observation Room 1 immediately!"

They all glanced at each other, and Janet dashed out of the room first, with the rest of SG1 and Jacob at her heels. General Hammond remained at his desk, contemplating what to do next.

While Janet continued on, Jacob stopped an Airman fleeing from the way of the observation room.

"Airman, what's going on?" He demanded.

The Airman was sweaty and out of breath, like he had been in a fight. "Sir, Major Carter was able to convince one of the guards to unlock her restraints. She has one of their weapons."

They all exchanged glances with one another, before they rushed towards the observation room Sam was held in. As they approached, they heard two gunshots ring out.
