About 2 hours later Janet finished the blood analysis confirming they had both just been sedated, Lya beamed in satisfied that she could now heal them from any injuries which were mainly bruises. First she healed Teal'c them Sam, Teal'c woke up immediately while Sam carried on sleeping.

"Why is she still sleeping?" Jack asked, Thor beamed in joining Lya

"We have a plan to help you reach the lost city but it has one condition" Thor said

"What?" Jack asked immediately suspicious

"Samantha has to remain here, on earth we can protect her out in space it is harder and we cannot allow Anubis to recapture her" Thor told him firmly, Jack rubbed his chin

"That won't be easy" Jack commented

"Which is why Samantha will remain asleep until we are done" Lya said smiling, Jack laughed at their cunning.

"Ok but I'm not explaining it to her" Jack said as a compromise, Daniel nodded

"Me neither" he added quickly. They both looked at Teal'c

"I believe I will be on my way to the lost city when Samantha does awake as if she woke before she would insist on coming" Teal'c reminded them smugly.

"I'll need to talk to Hammond and get it cleared with the president" Jack said as he found himself with Hammond and Thor in the Whitehouse,

"Mr President" Jack said standing at attention, Hammond following suite

"At ease" he ordered getting over his surprise and regain his composure quickly.

"What brings you here George?" he asked, Hammond shook his head

"I wish I knew, Jack, Thor" Jack took over

"Thor has a proposition for you, I suggested we talk to Hammond and get your permission"

"Your Taur'i methods are not as effective and take time my methods are more effective" Thor said confidently

"So what is your offer?" The president asked leaning forwards interestedly

"I will finish your primitive ship and upgrade its shields and weapons to allow you to find the lost city" Thor offered, the president nodded

"And what do you want in return?" he asked suspiciously, Thor blinked

"Samantha Carter must not travel on the ship to go to the lost city instead Jacob O'Neill must go and the ship personnel must be approved by myself and O'Neill" Thor said, Hammond raised an eyebrow looking at the president the offer seeming to go to be true

"And that's it the only condition" he clarified, Thor nodded

"On earth we can protect Samantha Carter in space we cannot and we do not trust some earthlings with our technology" Thor told him,

"You have my word" the president promised, Thor nodded

"To reduce difficulties Samantha will remain asleep until it is done" Thor told him, Hammond nodded not knowing this before hand but was grateful although knew when she woke there would be hell to pay

"Deal" The President said shaking Thor's hand

"Your ship has been upgraded, O'Neill if you will join me we will confirm personnel" Jack nodded

"Jack make sure they have clearance" Hammond asked, Jack nodded as he left and Hammond beamed back to the SGC.

3 hours later they had 100 members of the SGC and Area 51 who were deemed trustworthy and qualified enough to work on the ship with others training them. Some vital members to both were left on earth to keep the SGC going meaning anyone left was positive they been left due to the vital work they'd been doing. Jack was commanding the ship with Reynolds of SG3 being his second in command Teal'c and Daniel escorted them both not wanting to be on earth when Sam woke up.
