Chapter 7
Sam walked into her lab, her arms laden with papers and files. She walked over to her desk and put the papers down. She looked around; everything seemed to be spinning. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When Sam opened her eyes again everything seemed to have stopped. She turned to go over to a bench and collapsed immediately.
A couple of hours passed and Teal'C walked into her lab and stopped, looking around.
"Major Carter?" he called.
He went in further and saw her lying on the floor. He knelt next to her and gently rolled her onto her back.
"Major Carter? Major Carter can you hear me?"
Teal'C carefully picked her up and began quickly to the infirmary. When he arrived Janet was just coming out of her office. She stopped in mid-step when she saw Teal'C.
"Teal'C?"
"I found her unconscious in her laboratory," Teal'C explained as he gently placed her down.
Suddenly Sam disappeared in a flash of white light. She looked up to see Teal'C disappear a moment later. Janet ran over to the phone.
"Hammond."
"Sir, Teal'C and Major Carter have just disappeared."
When Teal'C appeared again he found himself in a cell on a Goa'uld mother ship. There were four cells in total. He looked around and saw Sam in the cell next to him. He went over to the bars.
"Major Carter," he called.
She slowly moved her head and looked around. "Teal'C?" she whispered.
"I am here."
"Where are we?"
"I found you unconscious in your laboratory, I took you to the infirmary and then we appeared here."
"So that's why my head hurts," she muttered as she tried to sit up; as soon as she was sat up she fell back down again.
"Major Carter," Teal'C called.
"I'm okay," she closed her eyes for a moment.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and Jack appeared in the same cell as her.
"Carter?" he knelt next to her.
"Major Carter passed out in her laboratory," Teal'C explained as he went over and sat against the wall, "we were both taken from the infirmary."
Jack picked her up and moved her over to the corner nearest Teal'C sitting her up, before sitting next to her. She slowly moved and lent her head against his shoulder.
"Thanks sir," Sam muttered, closing her eyes again.
"No problem Carter," he put his arm around her and looked up at Teal'C, "know who took us?"
"I do not."
An hour later several more people had appeared. Bra'tac and Ry'ac had joined Teal'C. Daniel and Janet were in the cell opposite Jack and Sam and four Tok'ra took the last cell. Sam had remained asleep the whole time. There was a sudden flash and Jacob appeared in the cell with Janet and Daniel. He looked around and stopped when he saw Sam.
"Jack?" he asked slowly.
"She collapsed in her lab," Janet explained, "she's been asleep most of the time she's been here."
"Dad?" Sam muttered lifting her head and slowly opening her eyes.
"Hey Sammie, you feeling okay?"
"Tired."
"Go back to sleep then."
Sam moved back to lean against Jack again. The doors at the end of the room opened and someone walked in. It was Shait.
"What are you doing?" Jacob demanded as he stood up.
"Did you think that you could just give us this power and expect us to remain Tok'ra?" Shait smirked.
"What do you want?" Bra'tac stood up and walked over to the front of the cell.
Shait smiled evilly, turned, raised her arm and clicked her fingers before walking out. Six Jaffa came in and four went into Sam and Jack's cell. Two grabbed Sam and then two grabbed Jack and they all left.
The two of them were taken into a large room; the only objects in it were two chains hanging from the ceiling with cuffs on the end. The two of them were chained facing each other. Sam slowly lifted her head and opened eyes.
"Jack?" she whispered.
"They took us out of the cells," Jack explained, "Shait, Ma'at and Selket have turned evil."
"Jack, I don't feel so good."
"It'll be alright."
Several Jaffa came in and stood around the room. Shait walked in followed by Ma'at and Selket.
"Greetings Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, so nice of you to join us," Ma'at smiled evilly.
"What do you want?" Jack demanded.
"Why would we tell you?" Selket walked over to stand in front of him.
Suddenly Sam threw up. One of the Jaffa brought over a hand device and passed it to Shait. She put it on and the Jaffa roughly raised Sam's head.
"Well major, what's wrong with you?"
Sam coughed and the Jaffa let go of her head and struck her back with his staff before walking back into his place.
"What do you want?" Jack demanded.
Shait walked over and raised the device and it started to glow. After a few minutes she moved back and he fell limp before slowly standing again. Shait nodded at Ma'at.
"Take her back," Ma'at ordered.
Two Jaffa came over and unchained her before dragging her out. The other Jaffa bowed their heads and left quickly. The three Goa'uld turned to stand in front of Jack.
"Well, my friends, what should we do?" Ma'at asked as they started to walk around him.
"There are many forms of torture we could use," Selket stated.
"Some would take longer than others," Shait added.
"But which would be most fun to use on our dear colonel?" Ma'at smiled evilly.
"He cares for Major Carter."
"It would cause him most pain."
"Leave her out of this!" Jack yelled.
"It would also be most entertaining," Ma'at stated.
"So it's settled then," Selket agreed.
"Major Carter it is then," Shait finished.
"Leave her out of this!" Jack yelled again; "Just take whatever problems you have up with me, leave her alone!"
"You care more than we thought," Ma'at said as they all walked out.
Two Jaffa came in and unchained him, dragging him back to the cells. They put him back in.
"She threw up," Jack answered immediately as he rolled her onto her side, "then a Jaffa whacked her back with a staff."
Several hours passed. Jaffa came and took people and then brought them back, slightly battered and bruised. Several Jaffa came in and took Ry'ac, as they left Sam and Jack were both dragged back into their cell and dumped on the floor. They both landed by the back wall. The Jaffa left and neither of them moved.
Suddenly Jack rolled himself onto his back. "God that hurt."
"Colonel?" Janet called.
"Still kickin'," he said as he slowly sat up.
"What hurt?" Jacob asked, looking at his daughter.
"They shot us with something, it hurt."
"Colonel, check Sam," Janet moved to the front of her cell.
Jack moved and gently rolled her onto her side. "Carter?"
"Jack?" she whispered.
"Yeah, how'd you feel?"
"Everything hurts."
"Colonel?" Janet asked, her concern showing.
"She said everything hurts."
"Check her temperature," Janet said, swaying slightly.
"Janet?" Daniel asked.
"I'm fine, colonel?"
"Very hot," Jack placed her hand on her forehead.
The doors opened and Ry'ac was dragged back in, covered in cuts and bruises. He was chucked back in with Teal'C and Bra'tac. They rolled him onto his side and he started coughing.
"Ry'ac?" Teal'C asked.
"Father?" Ry'ac slowly opened his eyes.
"Rest now."
"Father, listen. Shait objected to something, Ma'at had Jaffa take her away."
"Where were they taking her?"
"I do not know."
"Rest."
Ry'ac closed his eyes again, going into a light sleep.
"Jack?" Sam whispered.
"What?" Jack looked down at her.
"I wanna sleep."
Jack slowly sat her up and she lent against him. He looked down and she smiled slightly before closing her eyes and going to sleep.
"Colonel?" Janet asked.
"Sleeping," he told her.
"How's Ry'ac?" Janet looked over.
"He too sleeps," Bra'tac replied, "he said there is discontent among the three Goa'uld. Ma'at had Shait taken away."
"We can trust Ma'at," Jacob stated suddenly, "Shait was suspected to have defected before the others."
"Defected to whom?" Jack asked slowly.
"Khnum," Ma'at said as she came in followed by a few guards, "he has her under his control somehow."
The Jaffa opened the cells. Jack picked up Sam and came out. The others came out slowly. Teal'C carried Ry'ac and Janet was leaning on Daniel.
"Selket is holding Shait away, we have to hurry."
Ma'at led the group for a few minutes to a ring transport room.
"There is a ship you can 'steal', I will beam you to it."
"Thank you Ma'at," Jacob smiled gratefully at her.
The gate on earth activated and the alarm went off. Hammond ran down to the gate room.
"Receiving Tok'ra IDC."
"Open the iris," Hammond ordered.
The iris opened and Jacob came through, followed by Teal'C and Bra'tac came through helping Ry'ac, Daniel came through sticking close to Janet, Jack followed a few moments later carrying Sam. A medical team came in and Jack went to put Sam down, she started to squirm.
"No Carter, let doc check you over and I'll come in a moment," Jack told her.
He managed to put her down and the medical team left, heading to the infirmary.
"Teal'C, Bra'tac take Ry'ac, Colonel O'Neill, I want to see you down there too," Janet said before leaving.
Teal'C picked Ry'ac up and followed with Bra'tac.
"Colonel, what happened?"
"Ask Danny," Jack sighed before following the group to the infirmary.
"Doctor?" Hammond turned to Daniel.
"Four other Tok'ra and Jacob were taken as well," Daniel explained, "they tortured us mildly, apart from Ry'ac as you saw. Sam got worse from collapsing earlier."
"Who?"
"Ma'at, Selket and Shait. Though Shait's truly evil and Ma'at helped us escape."
"I believes that Selket's good as well," Jacob added.
"Go."
Daniel arrived in the infirmary to see Jack sitting next to a sleeping Sam. Ry'ac was asleep with Teal'C and Bra'tac standing next to him and Janet was lying on another bed. Daniel went over to her.
"Janet?"
"I'm just resting my eyes," she stated.
"Go to sleep Janet, you can'tfix Sam if you're half-asleep," Daniel took her shoes off and pulled the cover over her.
"Thanks Daniel," Janet smiled as settled down to sleep.
He turned to see Jack had nodded off leaning against Sam's bed. He grabbed another blanket and laid it over him.
"You too should rest Dr. Jackson," Teal'C told the linguist.
"I will," Daniel smiled slightly before heading to his quarters.
"What is the meaning of this!" Ma'at cried out as she was half dragged into the throne room on Shait's ship.
Shait was standing next to her throne and on it sat someone else. Ma'at stopped and stared at the person in the seat. Khnum.
"The meaning?" Khnum smirked evilly, "I am taking control of your forces and you shall be killed."
Ma'at started to struggle against the two Jaffa who were holing her arms. They kept their grip on her. Another two Jaffa came in, dragging a body between them. Khnum nodded and the body was dumped in front of Ma'at.
"Selket!" Ma'at cried out.
Selket's eyes glowed once before her head fell to one side, her eyes staring into nothing.
"And soon, you shall join her," Khnum smiled at the look of horror on Ma'at's face as he stood up and began walking towards her.
The gate on Earth activated and the iris closed. Hammond made his way over to stand behind Siler.
"Receiving Tok'ra IDC."
"Open the iris then," Hammond ordered before heading down to the gate room.
When he arrived he saw three people coming down the ramp, two he recognised and Ma'at and Jonas. The third had hair that came down to her shoulders and was coloured like a tabby cat's fur. She wore black trousers, a black T-shirt and had pale skin.
The two of them passed Ma'at to a medical team before she stood next to Jonas putting one of his arms around her shoulders.
"Jonas, what's going on?" Hammond inquired.
"I was taken by Shait," he explained as the third person helped him walk over to the general, "Tabitha came to get me out and we brought Ma'at as well. Selket's dead."
"Welcome to Earth," Hammond told Tabitha.
She smiled slightly and nodded before helping Jonas walk out, following the medical team.
