I own nothing of Stargate SG-1.

A few weeks after going on missions back and forth after the whole issue with the Gamekeeper SG-1 went through to a new planet P3R-636 and on a cliff they were exploring over looking the stargate they saw a group of Jaffa sending a box full of ore through it.

"What's in the fancy box?" asked O'Neill.

"I believe it it raw naquadah it is highly valued among the Goa'uld." said Teal'c

"As well as among the Tok'ra." said Jolinar coming to the surface.

"SG-3 brought back a small amount of the element last year, we could really use some sir." said Sam.

As SG-1 walked through the forest they noticed a group of Jaffa and a young woman wandering to the cliff. When it looked as though she was going to jump off Daniel jumped out of hiding and grabbed her stopping her from jumping. She screamed when Daniel grabbed her and alerted the Jaffa to their presence.

"Stay away from the princess!" said one of the Jaffa.

"It's okay." said Daniel.

"Tell them to lower their weapons or they will kill him." said the Princess.

Sam, Teal'c and O'Neill put their weapons down and the Jaffa grabbed them bringing them to the palace.

"What were you thinking?" said O'Neill.

"I thought she'd be grateful." said Daniel.

"She was trying to kill herself, Daniel." said O'Neill.

"On your knees." said a Jaffa.

"No actually I've got this cartilage problem." said O'Neill before the Jaffa hit him in the back of the legs.

"My Samantha, I believe this is an old Goa'uld mining operation that seems to have been taken over by the Princess' father. We must be cautious and not reveal our self to being blended." said Jolinar in Sam's mind.

"So we might make it out of here if he doesn't realize that we are two, I understand I will warn the others as soon as I can. Oh no we're being moved what all did we miss?" said Sam to Jolinar confused as they were pushed into the mines.

"I believe we will be forced to work in the mines for a period of time, my Samantha." said Jolinar in return.

"Sir, I was made aware that the king was human not Goa'uld so it would be prudent for them to believe it's just us four." Said Sam hinting at keeping Jolinar secret. When the three males nodded in understanding she felt Jolinar sigh in relief. They worked in the mine for a day and a half before the made an escape attempt which resulted in Daniel being severely wounded. The Jaffa took his body away and a few hours later he returned healed which is when he told them that the king was using a sarcophagus to stay alive but it was starting to become in effective on him. Daniel told the rest of the team that he was working on getting them released from the mines and released before the Jaffa led him away again after two days on a break Sam sat and was lost in her thoughts.

"My Samantha why are you so worried about Daniel Jackson you trust him do you not?" said Jolinar reading my feelings.

"I trust him with my life I just worry about that Princess she seemed quite taken with Daniel and he has not returned since letting us know he was okay." said Sam.

"I understand you worry he that he will be taken by the princess and you will never be able to tell him how you feel about him. My Samantha I have a question for you, do you think of Martouf and Lantash since he was as you put it an asshole in any favorable light?" asked Jolinar quietly.

"I have thought of them and I wonder if the reason I still have any thoughts about Daniel even though he is married to Sha're is that you have held your feelings for them away from me." said Sam.

"I have done what I thought best so as to give you a better chance at having a choice. We usually love as one but I would rather it be a mutual feeling rather than just influencing you to chose one way." said Jolinar.

"Jolinar I don't know what to do yes I have feelings for Daniel but I also was drawn to Martouf when I saw him and with Daniel already being married to Sha're I just don't think he would ever chose me." said Sam.

"Oh my Samantha you should feel more confident in yourself." said Jolinar.

"I know we haven't really talked about Daniel's wife but is there a safe way for a Goa'uld to be removed from a host and do you know any information about Amunet's whereabouts?" said Sam.

"Yes there is a safe procedure for a Goa'uld removal, as to the whereabouts of Apophis's queen I do not know for certain but there is a chance she has been moved into seclusion." said Jolinar.

"If she has been moved into seclusion do you know where?" said Sam.

"I believe she would have been returned to her home planet but I do not know for certain I would just be making unsubstantiated judgments." said Jolinar.

As Sam and Jolinar conversed with each other O'Neill and Teal'c were working on another escape plan while also trying to get information about the king and how he treats the people. Over the next two days Daniel came and saw them twice more each time more and more changed by the use of the sarcophagus. Sam became more and more silent and had even more conversations with Jolinar asking for he opinion on everything as well, Finally at the end of the forth day they were finally released to go home. They got all their gear back and were ready to go when Sam looked back and saw Daniel kiss the Princess before telling her he would return.

Once they were back through the gate they went through all the return trip procedures getting a check up from Doctor Fraiser, the debrief with the General, and the cataloging of the naquadah they brought back from the planet. Sam pushed herself into her work as she listened to Daniel go on about the Princess and even though she felt like crying she tried to stay calm.

"I can't get he rout of my head Sam I think I made a big mistake." said Daniel.

"You're not serious." said Sam.

"I am serious." said Daniel.

"You have a wife." said Sam.

"Had. Had a wife. Come on, seriously. How long am I supposed to wait? Even if I find Sha're one day, what are the chances she'll ever be the same again?" said Daniel.

"Daniel there is a safe procedure to remove a Goa'uld from a host you would have Sha're again. Look you are not yourself right now the effects of a sarcophagus are like a drug and now you're coming down from it. So just relax a bit and calm down." said Sam.

"I feel smarter, stronger, and it feels great what the hell is so wrong with it?" said Daniel.

"I think it's partly what makes the Goa'uld as bad as they are." said Sam.

"How?" said Daniel.

"Who know it's Goa'uld technology Daniel, maybe it's healing comes from altering the brains chemistry increased adrenaline and the hormone that make you more aggressive and irrational. I mean look at your sel it's like you need a fix and you only used it a few times." said Sam.

"We can't just leave it there we have to study it." Said Daniel.

"We can't go back either." said Sam.

"Well i'm going back." said Daniel.

"Daniel she used us as way to get you addicted." said Sam.

"You've never known love have you?" Daniel accused Sam after he got angry and knocked things off her table.

"See Daniel the you I know would never have said that." said Sam leading Daniel into knocking over more stuff and leaving.

"My Samantha he didn't mean that and you know it everything will be alright once he is healed from the sarcophagus' effects." Said Jolinar giving Sam a mental embrace.

"I know Jolinar it's just hard to see this happening." said Sam.

Sam kept working on the naquadah when she heard there was a medical emergency in General Hammond office involving Daniel. He had passed out after trying to resign. After pacing and worrying for two days Sam was relieved to find that Daniel was doing better and his body was returning to normal. Daniel made one last attempt to go back through the gate but wound up breaking down when he pointed a gun at O'Neill. Once he was fully better Daniel proposed going back one time to give the princess a better way to protect her people without using them as slaves. When they went back Daniel helped the princess destroy the sarcophagus by helping the princess fire a staff weapon at it. Once the team was back in the SGC Daniel found Sam in her lab so that he could apologize to her about everything he said to her and that he didn't mean any of it.
