Sam had finished her coffee when Jack turned her around to face him and then he picked up the fork and put some cake on it and put it in front of Sam. She smiled and opened her mouth as he put it in and she closed her mouth to chew.

"You need brain fuel Sam" she giggled and pulled him down for a kiss.

"Thank you" and they sat and talked for a while longer.

Then Daniel and the others came into the lab and Sam told them what was going on so that they would be up to speed. She asked Daniel if he and Sarah would go into town and buy as many water balloons as they could and they left right away.

Three hours later Jacob arrived with three Tok'ra and glass containers full of the poison and then the Tok'ra left. When Daniel and Sarah returned with the balloons, Sam sent Jacob and Teal'c to the Alpha site, just in case. The rest of them started to carefully fill the balloons with the poison.

Since it was concentrated Sam filled the balloons with a ten- percent solution of the poison and ninety percent water. Two hours later they carried two buckets to the gate room where Sam and Jack, along with the buckets, were beamed up to the Prometheus.

They moved the buckets to one side and picked up one set of water balloon bombs and put it where she was standing and then walked over to one of the computers as every one on the bridge watched Sam and the water balloons. Sam beamed the first ones to twenty meters above the Seattle Space Needle then Jack put the next set in the same spot and Sam beamed them.

An hour later all of the balloons were had been beamed and burst over the tops of the tallest buildings in Seattle and Washington DC. Sam made sure that one set was released over the top of Ba'al's building. By the time she was finished, Thor had arrived and he beamed Jack and Sam to his ship.

Sam told him what was happening and what she had done so far.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes Thor; can you make a copy of the building using Earth materials?"

"Yes it can be done but it will take some time to build another building."

"How much time?"

"Two of your days."

"Ok, when can you get started?"

"I'll start on it now."

"Thank you Thor. Would you beam us back to the SGC?"

"Yes of course" then he sent them back to the SGC.

"Sam since it is late, how about some dinner and then bed."

"That sounds good to me; it has been a long day."

"Yes it has" and they left the gate room and headed to the mess hall for some dinner and then afterwards they went to bed.

The next morning Jack left for the camp while Sam carried on working in her lab for the day. At lunchtime Hammond arrived to let Sam know that three judges, four scientists and five billionaires had died suddenly in Washington about the same time she dropped the water bombs. Sam was shocked at the information and what she had done but knew it had to be done before the group got completely out of control or took control.

"Sir, are you sure that they all had symbiotes in them?"

"Yes, it was confirmed last night but nothing from Seattle yet."

"Ok; it's a shame that there wasn't another way so that the host could have been saved."

"What about the Tok'ra, perhaps they might be able help?"

"I don't think so" then Sam started thinking and then she looked at Hammond.

"I think there might be a way but… sir, can you get one of the dead symbiotes for me?"

"Sure, what is it Colonel?"

"Sir, if the symbiote was a clone I know of a way to kill the symbiote without killing the host. Remember what happened a couple of years ago in Stevenson, where the residents were taken over by the cloned symbiotes? I had the antidote that killed the symbiote before it took control and it left me. I had sent a sample of the drug to Janet and we were able to make more of the antidote and gave it to everyone in the town and the symbiotes died and left their bodies."

"Yes, I remember reading the report. I'll go and make the necessary phone calls. But how are you going to find out who has symbiotes in them?" Sam smiled

"Thor sir."

"Good work colonel; I'll let you know about the symbiotes"

"Thanks sir" then he left to go and make the phone calls.

After lunch Sam went to the lab where a bottle of the antidote was kept. All she had to do was wait for the dead symbiote to arrive. She took the bottle and returned to her lab. Just as she was about to enter she realized that she was being followed by a Major, who entered her lab right behind her and then he hit her on the back of the head. She lost her balance but was able to grab the lab table. She turned around and was shocked when she saw his eyes glow. He tried to hit her again and she fought back until she had the chance she hit the emergency button. At the sound of the alarm the Major took off from her lab and she ran after him.

"Stop him" Sam yelled out to the airmen but the Major knocked them out by throwing them against the wall.

When Sam reached him she ran straight into him knocking him to the ground and then more airmen showed up with their weapons.

"Get a tranquilizer gun, he is a Goa'uld" Sam yelled out.

Daniel went to one of the storage rooms and took one of the darts and ran back to where Sam was still fighting with the Goa'uld. Every time one of the airmen or an SG team member tried to help they ended up getting injured. Sam didn't give up and when Daniel arrived he jabbed the dart into the Goa'uld neck. Sam fought the Major for another minute until he collapsed and then Sam pushed him off of her.

"Thanks Daniel" and then Janet arrived at the scene.

"What happened Sam?"

"Damn snake."

"Are you alright Sam?"

"Yes but check the Major out. He has a snake in his head" Sam got up from the floor feeling dizzy.

"I better check you over Sam."

"Later; I want an MRI done on him and I want to know where the damn thing is and then you can check me over."

"Sam!"

"Janet, please."

"Ok and anyone else who has been knocked about, report to the infirmary."

They lifted the Major onto the gurney while four other gurneys had the other injured personnel on them, all heading into the infirmary. Janet had the Major scanned and she was shocked to see the symbiote wrapped around the Major's neck; Sam was standing next to Janet.

"Now what?"

"Janet, can you get a sample of the symbiotes DNA? I want to see if it is a clone."

"Sure, I'll get it done now."

"Thanks and while you are at it please check the others out as well."

"Of course" then Dr Weir arrived in the Infirmary.

"Dr, Colonel what's going on here?"

"First of all, Dr Weir would you lie down here? I want to check something before we tell you anything."

"Why?"

"Trust me" Sam said and Dr. Weir nodded.

They moved the Major to a bed and tied him down and then Dr Weir lay down and the bed was moved into the MRI machine. Once she was cleared they moved the bed back out of the machine and she sat up.

"Well, is some one going to tell me what is going on?"

"The Major is a Goa'uld and we had to check to make sure you didn't have one inside you before telling you what was happening."

"Of course" and Sam turned to Janet.

"Your turn Janet."

"Ok" then they tested Janet and she was clear as well.

Sam showed Dr Weir the Major's scan and where the symbiote was and she was shocked. Janet was able to get a sample of the symbiotes DNA and then passed it to Sam. She went back to her lab to do some checking. Janet checked the other wounded and also had them scanned. She found three more Goa'uld and she had tranquilizer injections on stand by just in case there was more of them and hen she had them tied down to their beds until Sam returned.

Sam was typing on the computer as well as conducting tests on the sample. Just as she was finishing and had the results back, Janet and Daniel walked into the lab.

"How is the testing coming along Sam?" Janet asked.

"I've just got the results back; it's a clone."

"Well, there are three more."

"Ok; we better get started then."

They left the lab and Sam went to get the drugs and then met Janet in the infirmary. Janet injected the drug into the Major first and waited. Ten minutes later the symbiote emerged from the back of the Major's neck and then died on the bed. Janet quickly removed the dead symbiote and five minutes later the Major woke up.

"Are you ok Major?" Janet asked.

"Yes, are you ok Colonel? I tried to stop it from killing you."

"It's ok; it not your fault but I would like to know how did one get into you?"

The Major told Daniel, Sam, Janet and Dr Weir, who had joined them that the one night, when he arrived home, there were three men waiting for him. He remembered being hit with tranquilizer dart and that was it until he woke up and realized that there was a symbiote taking over his body and the he had been fighting it for the past three months.

He was able to tell them the names of who were behind it and the phone calls and e-mails that the symbiote was receiving, everything. At the same time he was telling them this, Janet injected the same drug into the others while still listening. An hour later all of Janet's patients were either being kept overnight for observation or released.

She even checked Sam over and wanted her to stay on the base over night just in case she had any more bad headaches. She also ordered her to get some rest. Two hours later Janet found her in the lab making up more of the drug because there was only one bottle left.

"Sam, what have I told you about getting some rest?"

"I know but there was only one bottle left and I had to do something about that, just in case there are more on the base."

"Ok, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find another way of getting the drug into them without letting the symbiote and host know. You saw what happened in the infirmary when you went to inject them."

"Yes, I know."

"Dr Fraiser to the Infirmary" was heard over the PA system.

"Duty calls and remember to rest."

"I will soon" Janet left her to carry on working.
