Episode 3: Resurrection
Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil, Stargate SG-1, or any of its characters.
Three weeks have passed since the incident on Kel'tesh. The new SG team members have already begun adapting to life in the SGC. Chris had been transferred over to the Prometheus starship to serve under the command of General George Hammond.
In a slightly crowded mess hall, Rebecca, Jill, Leon, and Daniel sit around a table eating lunch. Rebecca asks Daniel numerous questions about Chris' new job.
"So Daniel," said Rebecca. "What is the Prometheus?"
"It's a starship that was built here on Earth," replied Daniel. "It is made from alien technology combined with our technology."
"A starship?" said Rebecca. "I thought Chris got transferred over to another military base or somewhere else. How fast is this ship?"
"The Prometheus is capable of travelling in hyperspace, which is faster than the speed of light," explained Daniel.
"Wow. Sounds like Chris is gonna have one hell of an experience on his new assignment," commented Leon.
"I know," said Jill, "but he's not going to be as excited as he used to be, especially now that Claire's gone."
"Yeah," added Rebecca. "He's going to have a hard time getting over his loss. He and Claire were both very close to each other, even as siblings. I'm not sure if he will ever recover."
"Don't worry," Leon said to Rebecca. "He will. It will just take time."
Meanwhile at another table, Barry, O'Neill, Carter, and Teal'c gradually eat their meals. O'Neill, however, curiously stares down at a slice of banana cream pie in front of him, left untouched.
"Hmmmm...I don't remember seeing pie on the food rosters before," said O'Neill.
"Normally, not every food item is listed all of the time," replied Carter. "Maybe it's a surprise."
"You do not seem sure about your meal, O'Neill," said Teal'c. "Perhaps you may want me to test it for poison."
"No it's fine, Teal'c," replied O'Neill. "It's just...I'm not sure whether or not this is real pie or just something that was taken out of the back of a freezer."
"It looks pretty real to me, sir," said Carter.
"C'mon, General," said Barry, smiling. "You're not going to let a small piece of pie defeat you, right." O'Neill slowly picks up his fork. He scoops up a small piece and puts it in his mouth. After chewing it up for a bit, he closes his eyes as he enjoys the soothing taste of the pie.
"Mmmmm...banana cream," responded O'Neill. Suddenly, the base's alarm sounds and Walter's voice fills the PA system.
"Warning. Unscheduled offworld activation," announced Walter. In response, Carter, Daniel, and Teal'c stand up and they quickly walk out of the mess hall doors. O'Neill throws up his arms in disappointment.
"Aww rats!" said O'Neill. "Right when I'm about to enjoy a good piece of pie for once." He gets up and walks out of the mess hall to meet up with the others.
In the Gate Room, the Stargate is activated, but the outburst is suppressed by the closed iris. O'Neill and SG-1 arrive in the Control Room where Walter was waiting for them.
"Any news on who it is, Walter?" asked O'Neill.
"I'm receiving a transmission now, sir," replied Walter, staring into a computer scrren. "It's the Tok'ra."
"Open the iris," ordered O'Neill. Walter activates the iris controls, which causes the iris on the gate to slide open. A slim, young man in a brown Tok'ra uniform emerges from the portal. The right blast door opens and SG-1 follows O'Neill into the Gate Room to greet him. "Hi...Welcome to Earth. So what brings you here?"
"Are you the one known as O'Neill?" asked the Tok'ra.
"Uhhhh..yep," replied O'Neill.
"And this must be the well-known SG-1. I am Narteav from the Tok'ra High Counsol," he introduced himself. "I was sent here to deliver all of you information gathered by one of our undercover operatives. It is about Anubis' base of operations and its details."
"That's good," said Carter. "We may have just found out the location of Anubis' viral weapons."
"I will explain more when you are all ready," said Narteav.
"Sure," said O'Neill. "We'll discuss it in our comfy Briefing Room." He turns and shouts at Walter, who was watching them from the Control Room. "Walter, tell SG-17 and 18 to report to the Briefing Room ASAP."
"Yes sir," replied Walter.
"Right this way, Narteav," said O'Neill as he led him and SG-1 through the open blast doorway.
Later, in the Briefing Room, the members of SG-1, 17, and 18, along with O'Neill, are gathered around the long briefing table. Narteav places a small holographic imaging device on the center of the table. He presses a button on one side of the device and a large, rotating hologram of a massive structure appears. It looks like a fortress made up of domes and tall, pointed towers combined together. The observers expressed an interest in both the fortress and the imaging device.
"This place looks very familiar," commented Carter.
"You would remember it," said Narteav. "This facuility is the same place where Anubis produced his Kull warrior army."
"Oh yeah, now I remember," said O'Neill. "Jacob, Carter, and Teal'c were sent there on a mission to destroy some specially-modified Goa'uld snake."
"Hmmm...I guess that would make another mission there a little more easier since you guys are familiar with the building," said Barry.
"Not necessarily," replied Narteav. "After losing his ability to create more Kull warriors, Anubis had the base heavily fortified. Several Ha'tak class vessels have been stationed in orbit around the planet so approaching the base by ship would be impossible. Also, many areas once guarded by Jaffa have been replaced with automated energy sentries. The sentries are similar to the Kull warrior's disrupters and will fire on any target that poses to be a threat. The gate room is one of those areas."
"Anubis has, indeed, taken many strong security measures to protect his installations, especially now that he possesses a powerful new weapon," said Teal'c.
"Did your operative ever find the location of the viral weapons?" asked Jill.
"Our operative could not safely search the base as some areas were restricted," answered Narteav. "However, he was able to find a main computer terminal which may contain data on the location of Anubis' viral weapons."
"So how are we going to get in there without getting shot up by one of these sentries?" asked Daniel.
"We have a couple of captured Jaffa warrior suits," said Narteav. "Perhaps there are two of you who would use them to infiltrate the base."
There is a brief time of silence and no one else answers. O'Neill looks at both Leon and Barry with a small smile. Leon notices O'Neill staring at him and his eyes start to widen.
"No...wait," said Leon with a worried look. "You don't think I could..." Before he could finish, O'Neill interrupts him.
"Yes," said O'Neill. "Both you and Barry."
"What?" replied Barry, hearing his name.
"But I don't know how to pass as a Jaffa," explained Leon. "What if the automated sentries identify me as an enemy?"
"If our operative can pass through the same way, then you both could as well," replied Narteav. Leon and Barry were almost speechless and silence enters the room again. Then, Carter smiles and speaks.
"Besides, I think two tall and built men like you both could easily pass as a Jaffa," she said to them.
Next day in the Gate Room, the Stargate starts up as Walter begins the dialing process. Meanwhile behind the closed right blast door, Jill helps Barry with his Jaffa suit while Leon, Carter, and Daniel stand near the door with their gear ready, waiting for the gate to activate. Teal'c walks in with two staff weapons and two zat guns.
"It's a little tight around the waist," said Barry.
"Well, I can't adjust it in any way," replied Jill. "It's not too bad, is it?"
"Nah, I'll be fine," said Barry. "Thanks Jill." Teal'c gives Barry and Leon each a staff and a zat gun.
"Remember the few words and actions I have taught you about when confronted by either Jaffa or Goa'uld and you will live throughout the whole mission," advised Teal'c.
"Thanks for the advice, Teal'c," said Leon
"Yeah," added Barry. "I just hope that our cover doesn't get blown."
"It would be very unlikely, since you both have only encountered the Jaffa once and if you follow my advice," said Teal'c.
"Chevron seven locked," shouted Walter through the microphone and speakers. The blue blast from the Stargate shoots out and the glowing portal is revealed. The blast door opens and the team walks out. Carter turns to speak to the Jaffa in disguise.
"You guys will head through first and find a way to disable the auto defenses near the gate," explained Carter. "As soon as the defenses are down and the area is safe, contact me through my radio and, then, Daniel and I will meet you on the other side. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am," replied Leon.
"Understood," replied Barry.
"Good luck out there," said Jill to the others. Walter moves aside in the Control Room as O'Neill speaks into the microphone.
"Leon. Barry...You have a go," said O'Neill.
"Alright, Barry," said Leon. "Let's do this." They both walk towards the gate and disappear through the portal.
The two SG members, disguised as Jaffa, emerge from the gate in a large volcanic chamber. A large, metal platform holds the gate above an underground lava tube. In front of Leon and Barry stood another platform that continued on towards an eerie entrance into the burnt rock. There were no guards or anyone else in the chamber. However, near the entrance, stood two small, gun-like sentries, which did not seem to budge at all. The Stargate remained open.
"Well, either we're at Anubis' base or we'd just ended up in Hell," Barry said to Leon.
"To tell you the truth," replied Leon, "I don't want to be in either place, but we are on a mission."
"Hey, those sentries over there by that entrance aren't doing anything," said Barry. "I guess that means our disguises have worked."
"Yeah, but if we don't find a way to disable them, they're going to blast away Daniel and Carter when they come walking through the gate," said Leon. "Any suggestions?"
"Maybe we could render them useless with an energy discharge from our zats," replied Barry.
"Good thinking," said Leon. "An energy blast may cause the sentries to overload...Hope it works." He and Barry slowly advance towards the entrance. Taking out their zats and uncoiling them, they point one at each sentry gun. Two unstable, blue energy blasts shoot out at the same time. Both sentries erupt in sparks as the discharged energy envelops them. The two defenses that had once posed a threat were destroyed. Leon pulls out a small radio, he had hidden in his Jaffa suit, and speaks into it. "Carter. This is Leon. The defenses are down. I repeat, the area is now clear, over."
"Understood," replied Carter through the radio. "Daniel and I are on our way to your position, over and out." Both men turn to face the Stargate. Carter and Daniel emerge from the portal, which later dispersed behind them. Carter walks up to Leon and Barry. "Good job, guys. What did you do to disable the defenses?"
"Ohh...just a shot from a zat gun does the trick," said Barry.
"So..what do we do next?" asked Leon.
"We need to find a way to the room where the main computer terminal's located," said Carter. "You guys take point and watch out for more sentries and patrols."
"Yes ma'am," replied Leon. The group slowly enters the base through the entrance in the cliff. Then, they find themselves in a maze of dimly lighted hallways.
Sneaking around every corner, watching for any guards or auto defenses, the team makes their way down the hallways. Carter directs Leon and Barry, being the only one who knows how to get around the base in a safe manner.
"Guys, I think someone's coming," said Daniel. The team stops to listen. From around a corner in front of them, the sounds of marching feet gradually start to get louder. Carter signals the others to follow her into a small, dark corridor that was off to the side. They quickly duck into the corridor and, silently, they wait. Six Jaffa appear from around the corner, along with two, black armoured, Kull warriors. The squad continues their march down the hallway, not noticing the hidden infiltrators, until they disappear down another hallway. The team slowly walks out of their hiding spot. "Hmm..That patrol squad seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. I wonder what for."
"As long as they're busy with something else, that's good for us," said Leon.
"Come on," said Carter. "Let's get going before more show up. I think we're getting close to the main computer." The team proceeds down the hallway where the patrol squad had come from.
A sentry rotates above a doorway, which lead into a brighter room with a large, black computer-like console in the center. The sentry makes one final rotation to observe its surroundings before a zat blast knocks it out. The team rushes into the room and Carter immediately begins trying to access the computer's information. Daniel stands beside her and Leon and Barry watch the open doorway in case if any guards were to walk in. A holographic projector randomly changes images above the console.
"Who the hell were those guys, anyway?" asked Barry.
"Who?" replied Daniel.
"The ones in the black armour back in that hallway," said Barry.
"Oh. Those guys are known as Kull warriors," explained Daniel. "They're a type of genetically-altered supersoldier created by Anubis."
"A supersoldier?" responded Barry, acting a little surprised. "I hope they can be killed."
"Not so easily," said Daniel. "There's only one type of weapon that can bring one down, but we left them back at the SGC."
"Ah crap," said Barry. "And I thought these Jaffa and sentries were bad enough."
"Hey, at least both you and Leon have those disguises on so you should be able to blend in with the Jaffa around here," commented Carter. She presses a few more control on the console. "Ah..that worked."
"What did you just do?" Daniel asked Carter.
"I've inputted a code into the auto defenses grid," replied Carter. "All of the sentries in the base are now offline."
"At least we don't have to worry about them anymore," said Leon. Carter resumes her search in the main computer database. A hologram of the base's map expands above the projector. She types in a command and the map zooms in on the layout of a small storage room.
"There," said Carter, observing the image. "I just pinpointed the location where the T-virus weapons are being stored. They're in a storage room in the northeastern section of the base. Daniel and I have brought an experimental antiviral agent. Hopefully, it should neutralize the T-virus and reduce the weapon's effectiveness. As soon as the virus is eliminated, that's when the C4 comes in."
"C4?" said Leon, nearly raising his voice. "Isn't this supposed to be a stealth mission?"
"By the time the C4 detonates," replied Carter, "we'll all be long gone before patrols could complete a search."
"I guess we could do that," said Leon. "So what do you want Barry and I to do while you guys are rigging up explosives?"
"It probably wouldn't hurt to search around the base," said Carter. "Anubis may be up to more than just bioweapons. See if both of you could uncover anything."
"Alright, Carter. Good luck," said Leon.
"Same here to you too," said Carter. Leon and Barry leave the room to re-enter the darker hallways.
Meanwhile back at the SGC, Teal'c is seated on the floor in his quarters. The dark room had been lit with hundreds of candles. His legs are crossed and his eyes are closed as he performs his routine meditation. The door opens and Rebecca pokes her head inside.
"Hey, Teal'c. How's it..." She stops talking as she notices Teal'c meditating on the floor. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll come back another time." Just as she was about to leave, Teal'c opens his eyes and he speaks.
"Do you wish to speak to me, Chambers," asked Teal'c.
"Well..I don't really have anything important to say," said Rebecca. "I just need someone to talk to. It's been a little bit lonely around here for me since Carter and the others left to embark on their dangerous mission. Jill's been talking to Chris on the phone a lot and General O'Neill has, well you know, been busy with other things."
"I see," replied Teal'c. Rebecca looks around the room to see the large number of candles scattered around.
"Hmm...I never knew you took up meditation," said Rebecca.
"All Jaffa practice this ancient ritual," explained Teal'c. "It is believed to give a warrior strength and a mind free of fear, corruption, and bad thoughts. It also allows one's self to travel deep into their mind and soul."
"Does it really give you strength?" asked Rebecca.
"I believe so," said Teal'c
"It sounds very interesting," said Rebecca. "Do you think, some other time, you might be able to teach me this form of meditation?" Teal'c smiles and he nods.
"I would be honoured to," he replied.
"Great," said Rebecca, smiling. "Uhh, I'm going over to the mess hall for some coffee. Would you like anything?"
"I am fine," said Teal'c, "but thank you."
"Okay. I guess I'll see you later," said Rebecca as she left the room and closed the door behind her. Teal'c closes his eyes and resumes meditation.
Leon and Barry slowly make their way down a long and dim hallway. They search around their surroundings, looking for anything that seemed suspicious. There were no guards to be seen. The place seemed almost deserted. Suddenly, a loud voice shouts "Jaffa kree!" from behind them. They turn around to see a Jaffa guard on the other side of the hallway. He stares at them with a stern look as he approaches. He stops in front of them and speaks.
"What do you both think you are doing?" asked the guard, being fooled by the disguises.
"Uhhhh...We are just patrolling this sector," replied Leon.
"Patrolling?" said the guard. "Have you not just heard?...Lord Anubis has requested the presence of all warriors on this fortress in his Great Dome."
"My fellow warrior and I sincerely apoligize for we had only heard the news just now," said Leon.
"Come. Follow me," ordered the Jaffa guard. "We must make haste for he will not tolerate disobedience." Having no choice, Leon and Barry follow the guard as he leads them down the way they had just came from.
From behind a corner in another part of the fortress, Carter and Daniel quietly sneak around, with their P90s trained, into a long hallway with many closed doors. They approach the first door closest to them. Daniel spots some Goa'uld text above the doorway and he translates it in his mind.
"This must be the right storage room," he said to Carter.
"Good," said Carter. "Help me open this door." Using as much strength as they could muster, they both grab onto a large metal handle and, slowly, they slide the door off to one side. A small room filled with about a dozen heavy missile-like weapons is revealed. Carter walks in and she presses a few buttons on a tiny console on one of the missiles. A comportment automatically opens up and a large, wide vial rises out of the missile. A glass display reveals a greenish liquid inside the vial.
"I'm guessing that is the T-virus," said Daniel, observing the vial.
"Yeah," replied Carter. "It looks like there's enough here to infect a large portion of any planet. Only one of these weapons must have been enough to bring down the Jaffa on Kel'tesh. Gimme your bag." Daniel unscraps his backpack and hands it over to Carter, She unzips it and pulls out a small syringe, already filled with a clear liquid. Observing the vial, she finds a rubber sealed input on one end of the cylinder. She inserts the syringe into the rubber and injects the liquid. Several seconds later, the green liquid gradually starts to change into a whiteish colour as the agent reacts with the virus. Carter smiles. "I think it worked. The T-virus seems to have been rendered useless by the agent."
"Hmm. One down. A lot more to go," said Daniel. "I hope we have enough for the entire stockpile."
"We should," said Carter. "I remember packing up a fair number of antivirus samples before we left the SGC."
Hundreds of Jaffa have filled a gigantic circular meeting area. A glass dome with dark, web-like beams had made up the ceiling, displaying the desolate, volcanic mountains of the hellish planet. The sky emitted an eerie orange colour, probably due to the atmosphere being choked by fumes and ash. Leon and Barry enter through a small doorway and they blend themselves among the Jaffa near the center.
On one side of the great room, a man, nearly hidden by a thick, black cloak stares outward at the awaiting army. Most of his face had been hidden by a hood, but the two disguised men could see part of a chin and mouth. His lips were dry and patches of skin had rotted away. It was Anubis himself. He was seated on a black and gold throne with two Kull warriors standing on each side of him. Also standing next to him was Baal, who silently waits patiently. Anubis speaks in a dark and cruel voice to his army.
"My followers," said Anubis. "For years, the System Lords, the Tok'ra, the Tau'ri, and all those who oppose me, have dared to defy your true god. They should know that their foolish actions will only bring death and destruction to themselves. Especially now that I possess a new and powerful weapon from those you have captured and brought to me. With it, the entire galaxy will submit to my power, or suffer a widespread plague that will remain for centuries to come. I have summoned you all here to witness the resurrection and return of a powerful servent and commander. Under my rule, she will bring death to the shol'va who would dare lead a rebellion against us and your god."
"Bring forth the sarcophagus!" shouted Baal. The Jaffa guards clear a path between Anubis and four Kull warriors carrying a golden sarcophagus. When they reached the center of the path, they gently set down the metal coffin. Everyone waits for a few seconds and, then, the sarcophagus gradually splits open. A hand, covered with a metal glove with a red gem in the center of the palm, rises out. Along with that, a young, long brown-haired woman rises and she carefully looks around her surroundings. Then, her eyes emitted a brief glow of light. Leon and Barry appeared shocked and surprised as they recognized her.
"Claire?" Leon quietly said to himself. Claire climbs out of the sarcophagus and she slowly walks towards Anubis. She is wearing a black, Satanic-like dress with a cape. On the back of her neck, there was a small, red X mark. The Jaffa army drops to one knee and each guard bows down their head. Claire walks up to Anubis and she kneels down in front of him.
"Arise, Sekhmet," ordered Anubis. She brings herself up and stares at him. "Now that you have been released from your exile, you will carry out my orders and destroy the shol'va rebellion. Will you not?" Sekhmet responds with a bass-augmented voice.
"I will do as you wish, my lord," she said.
Meanwhile in the viral weapons storage, Carter plants a C4 charge on one of the missiles. She activates a number pad on the explosive and starts setting the timer.
"So how much time will we have to get back to the Stargate?" asked Daniel.
"I'm going to set the timer on the C4 to about ten minutes," replied Carter.
"Ten minutes?" said Daniel. "Are you sure that will be enough time?"
"Only if we run fast," said Carter. "As soon as this blows up, the whole base is gonna become a hornet's nest."
"Okay, but what about Leon and Barry?" asked Daniel.
"With their disguises on," said Carter, "they should be fine while the whole place is panicking." She sets the timer to ten minutes and arms the C4. The countdown begins. "Okay, let's get out of here." Daniel and Carter quickly sprint out of the storage room and they make their way back down the hallway.
In the grand room, the gathering of Jaffa remains silent as Sekhmet inspects and looks over many Jaffa guards near her and the two other Goa'uld. Barry quietly whispers into Leon's ear.
"How could this be possible?" wondered Barry. "Claire was killed back on Kel'tesh. I remember seeing her get shot by a staff weapon."
"I can't believe it either, Barry," replied Leon, still shocked. "I thought she was dead too. It must be something to do with that sarcophagus, but something's not right here. Claire would never submit to a Goa'uld."
"I don't think she submitted to Anubis willingly," said Barry. "I noticed a mark on the back of her neck and she's being referred to as Sekhmet."
"Then that must mean she's being suppressed by a Goa'uld inside her," said Leon. "We need to get the hell out of here before she sees us."
"If we try to move now, we might draw attention to ourselves," said Barry. Suddenly, the sound of an explosion breaks the silence. The floor vibrates for a brief moment and everyone under the Great Dome looks around in confusion. Anubis grows angry.
"Find the saboteurs, and kill them," he ordered furiously. Immediately, the Jaffa army breaks up and starts to empty the meeting area. Before Leon and Barry could blend in with the rushing crowd, Sekhmet spots them and her eyes widen as if she was not expecting their presence.
"Tau'ri, kree!" she yells at them. Ignoring her, Leon and Barry run away from the rest of the Jaffa. Some nearby guards take notice and they, immediately, give pursuit to them as they exit through a doorway. Sekhmet turns and looks at Anubis and Baal. "Those two guards were Tau'ri spies."
"How do you know that, Sekhmet?" asked Baal.
"Because I recognize them from my host's memory," replied Sekhmet. Anubis motions with one hand at a Kull warrior beside him. It nods with understanding and runs towards the doorway where the, once disguised, SG team members had left through.
Back in the base's gate room, Daniel and Carter reach the Stargate on the platform. The detonation of the C4 explosive had set off an alarm throughout the entire base.
"Dial the gate, quick!" Carter ordered Daniel. He rushes over to the DHD and starts dialing the address for Earth. Carter stands nearby him with her P90 trained at the entrance.
In the intense network of hallways, Leon and Barry run as fast as they could, especially after their cover had been blown. Behind them, a squad of Jaffa follows the fleeing two, firing their staves at them. In one of the dim hallways, Leon notices a small control panel on one side. After running past it, he turns around and fires a staff blast at the panel, destroying it completely. A large, thick door descends from the ceiling and it seals off the hallway. The pursuing Jaffa squad had been halted. Leon and Barry stop to rest in front of the blocked section.
"Nice move, Leon," commented Barry.
"Thanks, but we need to get back to the Stargate before we end up being trapped here," said Leon. He starts to hear a slow pace of footsteps coming towards them. They both look up to see the Kull warrior walking towards them from the other side of the hallway. Trying to think fast, Leon looks around and he spots another hallway branching off. He points at the opening and Barry takes notice. "This way."
As they both ran towards the other route, the supersoldier raises one arm with its blaster ready. It fires a rapid volley of pulsing energy at the two. One of the blasts hits Barry on the left shoulder. Ignoring the pain and burning of his wound, he continues to run with Leon down the hallway.
The Stargate had been activated and the event horizon shifts and glows. Daniel had already sent the team's GDO transmission through and he waits with Carter. From the entrance to the volcanic chamber, Leon and Barry rush out towards the awaiting SG-1 team members.
"It's good to see you guys again," said Carter. "I'd thought that you both got captured or killed at first."
"Well if we don't want either of those to happen to us," said Barry, "I suggest we leave right now cause we have one of Anubis' supersoldiers after us."
"Understood," replied Carter. "Let's leave this hellhole." Daniel, Leon, and Barry follow Carter into the portal. Soon afterwards, the Kull warrior appears from the entrance. It notices that the Stargate was still active and it runs after the team through the portal.
Meanwhile in the SGC Gate Room, O'Neill, Jill, Teal'c, and Rebecca stand and wait at the bottom of the steel ramp. Carter and her team emerge from the Stargate.
"Close the iris!" Carter shouted at Walter. "We're being pursued!" Walter nods and he activates the iris controls up in the Control Room. The iris slides shut, covering the whole surface area of the portal. Everyone in the Gate Room watches the gate silently. Then, a loud thud echos off of the iris and the Stargate shuts down.
"Barry, you're injured," said Jill, noticing the small burn on his shoulder.
"Don't worry," replied Barry. "It's just a flesh wound, but I'll get it checked out in the infirmary."
"So Carter, how did things go out there?" asked O'Neill.
"We only had some minor problems," said Carter, "but above all else, I think the whole mission had gone just fine. The viral weapons have been destroyed."
"Good job," said O'Neill, "to you and your team. Hopefully, this will throw a wrench into Anubis' plans to infect more worlds."
"Uh, if I may speak, General," said Leon. "While Daniel and Carter were searching for the viral weapons, Barry and I were able to sneak into an important meeting involving Anubis. During his speech, we found out some surprising news. It's about Claire."
"What? Is she alive? How?" asked Rebecca, who was shocked and confused.
"We'd thought the same thing too," said Leon, "but when we saw her, it wasn't really her."
"Huh? What do you mean?" said Jill.
"She's been taken over by a Goa'uld," replied Leon. Everyone in the room stares at each other speechless.
Meanwhile, in the Great Dome at Anubis' base, Anubis, Baal, and Sekhmet stand in a group and they watch as two Jaffa guards walk towards them. The guards bow their heads and one of them speaks.
"My lord," said the guard. "Your patrols have uncovered the source of the explosion. I am afraid to report that your viral weapons have been neutralized."
"Insolent fools!" angrily replied Anubis. "The Tau'ri think they can stop me from using my new weapon by destroying the stockpile in that storage room. Did you eliminate the saboteurs and spies?"
"We did not," said the guard. "They managed to escape through the Stargate."
"Fail me again, and you will suffer pain and torment under my wrath," warned Anubis. "Is that understood?"
"Yes, my lord," replied the guard.
"Now...leave us," ordered Anubis. The guards bow their heads again and they leave the great room.
"You have not lost all of your weapons, Lord Anubis," said Baal. "Some have been hidden in another part of this base. There are also two missiles already on board a Ha'tak ship, ready to depart."
"Excellent," said Anubis. "We will use the viral missiles on the rebellious Jaffa again...and I know who will deliver them their death." He slowly turns his head towards Sekhmet. She notices him and smiles.
End of Episode.
The next episode is going to be a two-parter. I plan to have a few different events happening at the same time and there would be lots to write and some time switching.
Next Episode: Sekhmet is on the move. Her viral weapons stand ready to unleash the T-virus on the Free Jaffa at Mar'cara. Can the combined forces of SG-1, 17, and 18 stop Sekhmet's Goa'uld mothership from reaching the planet in time, or will another deadly outbreak occur among the ranks of the Free Jaffa? Meanwhile, Chris is welcomed aboard the the Prometheus.
