The SG1 and the rest of the group had rested, got some food, and supplied Dark Striker, and read up on the enemies, and rested some more. All this took about four hours. When they all gathered back for a briefing, ChiYou spoke first.
"I think we have a problem. From what I have read up from your reports on Hathor, it is impossible for Hathor to have gathered such force during the short period. Also, helping Anubis is Todote, once servant to Sokar."
"What of it?" asked Gen. Hammond.
"This means that someone is helping Hathor and someone is spying on Anubis. I belive it is the same goa'uld."
"Who would do this?" asked Daniel.
"Who would be doing such things?" asked Bast.
"Todote served Sokar as a vassal and Sokar was once servant to..."
"It cannot be! 'He' is dead! We all saw it!" shouted Bast, her eyes flashing.
"'He' is the only one who would want Garuda so much. Even Ra was half afraid of it. To send three rival System Lords, is 'His' style."
"There is no proof." said Bast.
"Who is this 'he' we are talking about?" asked Hammond.
Bast turned her head in disgust as ChiYou spoke the name.
"Janus, once the most powerful System Lord, to be defeated by Garuda and he is the most hated even among the Goa'uld. We do not like to talk about 'him'. However, now we know that it is possible that he is alive..."
"He is dead! Or at least he should be! I remember him killing hundreds of our kind and wiping out worlds after worlds of my chilren! I have lost over 3 billion Anthrofeilds during that time. I have erased all records of that time so my children would forget the horror. Only Caltt'latc remains as the home of my chilren! Now, he comes again. Why doesn't he remain dead!"
"I understand your anger. My clan also lost nine worlds full of my people. I have lost over 4 and half billion children. However, we have the Garuda, and even though we don't know how to use it, it will be good enough. If we can crush Anubis, Janus will have to come out of hiding."
"It is possible that Janus is helping Anubis. We, Asgard, have spotted many goa'uld motherships that did not belong to Anubis. These motherships were larger but faster than usual motherships." informed Thor, who has come back from his ship.
"We will have to deal with Anubis first." said ChiYou grimly.
Bast stood and went to the window overlooking the stargate.
"He cannot be alive, he just can't be" She said looking at the stargate below, "3 Billion I lost, after the first three worlds fell, I took the Anthrofeilds from the next world to be attacked to Caltt'latc and setup the Stargate there, then with the Lanteans help set the orbiting Stargate in place, so that if the Stargate on the planet should be blocked by something, My Children could take the Scoutships thru the Stargate to Atlantis..." She said, she looked to Gen Hammond, then looked at those seated at the table, AutumnStarr was not among them, thankfuly she had not heard of what She said of her kind being killed off.
"Janus, that name sounds like something I've seen before," Daniel said a oddly wirtten book in front of him, he leafed thru it.
Bast got a better look at Daniel, her eyes widened, it couldn't be, "you were at the Summit, weren't you?" Bast asked Daniel. "You were Lord Yus' servant."
"uh...yes I was," Daniel said. "Why?"
"uh...Daniel was acting as Yu's servant, mainly to get some info on other system lords that were there" Jack said.
"My people and I share a common bond with our allies...Ihold nothing against you" Bast said.
"Uh...thanks" Daniel said confused by the question.
"why are you so set that this 'Janus' is spos'ed to be dead?" Jack asked, "I don't remember killing him."
"he has been dead for many years, 'He' cannot be still alive" Bast said sitting down at the table, "He just cannot be"
ChiYou answered.
"After the Gardua defeated Janus, Ra personally cut off his head and vaporised the body. The head was then burned into ashes. We all saw it. That was done at the summit. There was no mistake. However, somehow, Janus has deceived us all. Daniel Jackson, you may know Janus as the Gatekeeper God or Guardian of Gates. Gates mentioned there are not Chapaai, but something else. He is god of two faces, and he has technology to open a dimensional portal like Garuda can. In fact, it was his own fault when Garuda was summoned. He literally dug his own grave."
"I was at the Summit when Anubis was reinstalled as a System Lord, Lord Yu was the only one that aposed Anubis' return." Daniel said.
"It is possible for us to get those on the ground to the Escape Vessels as soon as we can" Mitra said entering the room and standing next to Bast, "AutumnStarr is still asleep, she should be waking any la-ho(minute)" Mitra told Bast.
"As was I at the Summit, I had thought I'd seen you before somewhere." Mitra said, "but the Summit ChiYou and Bast speak of took place a few years before he was banished."
"Do you think the remaning System Lords will offer to help in this battle?"
Mitra looked to Bast, who nodded, "Bast and her children are not from Caltt'latc," She said, "what planet was the first you went to from here?"
"Abydos" Jack said.
"useing the symbols you used to get to Abydos, you change the place of the second and fifth Chevron, and you have the birthplace of the Anthrofeild people" Mitra said.
"you mean, if we had put the seconf where the fifth was, we would have gone to your home planet?" Daniel asked.
Mitra nodded, "yes"
"But" Bast said, "Why my people? Why not the Draconians(Dog-like) Why not take out their planets?...Lord Kasid has an army about the same size as Anubis." Bast asked.
"That I can't answer, however we will help you and your people get free from Anubis." Gen Hammond said.
"Wait...who is Lord Kasid?" Daniel and Jack both asked ".he is the leader of the Draconians, also an ally in time of need, however he fails to respond to out plea for help." Bast said, anger clearly heard in her voice.
"Very well...SG-1...you have a go" Gen Hammond said.
"Thank you sir" Jack said.
"I shall waken AutumnStarr." Bast said standing to leave, "where is she sleeping?"
"I'll take you to her" Sam said.
