Chapter 5

In the month and a half following their leaving Sunnydale for the second time Andrew had sequestered himself in the lab to develop safe ways to use the Meteor rocks. He had, finally using the Green rocks, safely managed to isolate the energy particles, with Oz's and Jonathon's help, from the damaging particles; soon they will have learned to leech the power into cells.

Oz was brilliant enough to design a nice and futuristic version of the Zat'nik'tel but they'd have to use the new Meteor rock energy cells when they were developed for it.

And Jonathon, Andrew thought he was great as a personal assistant; helpful and, as he had personally predicted, Jonathon loved Gol'Tok and the symbiote tolerated Jonathon's asking about him being a Klingon, even if Andrew's ideas came from Star Trek and Star Wars, but he was beginning to get annoyed being considered a Klingon.

Buffy came in with news of more shipments from their Smallville headquarters, that they found more meteor rocks in fact the whole town was rife with them. Andrew sent a personal request to be allowed to clean the town of the rocks.

"Thanks Buffy," Andrew said holding the new meteor rocks, "Gol'Tok's been wanting to see the rest of the colours, I heard they found blue and silver rocks, even some gold rocks."

In the lab Andrew was looking over the forms of meteor rocks, Jonathon Kent had come through for him as there were several different varieties of rocks, Gol'Tok had already determined that the white variety was worthless and the few chunks of silver ore, he frowned, they seemed to be synthetic which raised interesting questions but he figured that he could use it for something, most of the stones had uses but he'd be able to leech the energy off and make them into cells.

As Andrew walked out and took his radiation suit off Jonathon ran up to him and said, "Umm, Andrew, those guys from the military are here."

"Thanks Jonathon," Andrew said as he walked into his room and changed out of his lab clothes and into the fancy clothes Gol'Tok placed for him.

Buffy walked in and said, "Andrew, did Jonathon tell you who was waiting for you?"

"Yeah," Andrew said, "But I can't get this damned tie on."

Buffy smiled as she helped him get it on and said, "Their names are Major Paul Davis and General George Hammond, they are interested in our Jafanite armour."

Gol'Tok laughed and shook his head, "No, I doubt it is just the armour, they want to investigate us. Perhaps in order to see if we could be trusted."

"Yeah? Well, don't let on," Buffy said, "We could use a nice contract from the government and also Oz is again requesting that Gol'Tok refrain from calling him Mr Osborne, it's annoying him or at least as much as he can be annoyed."

Andrew snickered, "Alright, we need to talk about that some people like the nicknames over given names."

Buffy nodded and said, "Alright, let's go meet them."

Major Paul Davis and General George Hammond were waiting patiently when they saw them come out, 'These were the founders of Prime Defence Mechanics?' George thought, 'They're just kids, hell, the boy looked to be fourteen at least.'

Andrew smiled, "Hello, welcome to my office sirs."

Paul smiled and took Andrew's hand and said, "Hello Mr Wells, I'm."

Andrew smiled, "I know who you are, my personal assistant told me."

"Son," George said, "I don't mean to offend but how old are you?"

Gol'Tok felt Andrew's ire rising and said, 'My turn Andrew, we don't need to antagonize people yet.'

"Ah," Gol'Tok said using Andrew's voice, "I am almost eighteen years old now General Hammond, how old are you?"

Paul suddenly said, "Mr Wells, we are most impressed by your Jafanite armour and we would like to discuss things with you about your technology's military applications."

"Indeed," Gol'Tok said, "Now what are you interested in particularly? Jafanite armour I bet?"

"That," Paul said, "And an exclusive contract with us?"

Andrew nodded, "Perhaps we could do that but we also have several contracts with the law enforcement agencies of this city plus a couple others, right? I cannot simply cut them off because the military wishes to have an exclusive hold on the armour."

George chuckled, 'Maybe the kid can handle himself,' but from what he had seen he wanted Jafanite armour for his people, he had seen too many people getting killed by staff weapons and if the armour could save even one then he'd support it.

"Yes, but," Paul added, "We would like to ask if it is possible to make a more military version of the armour?"

"Ah," Andrew said, "Cameo paint and that kind of thing, maybe a bit denser? It would be only for the military."

Paul nodded and smiled, 'This kid seems smart,' and said, "Yes, that would be preferable."

"We can do that," Andrew said honestly, "But the lighter versions are still for the law enforcement agencies that we hold deals with that are not negotiable, is that agreed?"

George nodded and said, "Would it be possible to look around your facilities son?"

Gol'Tok whispered, 'No Andrew, when we trust them yes but not yet.'

Andrew took control and said, "Maybe the non vital areas sir but not where we are developing new armour," he decided to be a bit rotten and surprise them, "And weapon technology."

Both officers looked up at that, even Buffy looked at Andrew. Gol'Tok laughed inwardly, his host had a delightful imagination, very delightful; those words would intrigue them enough to invest more money into the company.

Paul got up and said, "Weapon technology? I thought you made armour?"

Andrew smiled widely and said, "We're a defence company Mr Davis, weapons are a part of defence but it won't be ready for sometime, but my assistant can show you two around the area."

"Wait," George said, "Weapon? What kind of weapon?"

"Oh, umm," Andrew said, "It is a stun weapon we're developing for the law enforcement contracts: a non lethal, energy based weapon and by energy I mean electrical."

George nodded and said okay and walked off, he looked at Paul and said, "Major, we may have to do more business with this company."

"I agree," Paul muttered, "Maybe even send a few of the alien technologies their way once we know they are trust worthy."

Andrew waved to them and said, "That went well, didn't it Buffy?"

She laughed and said "Totally but how much of that is Gol'Tok and you Andrew?"

"Umm, all me," Andrew said, "Though Gol'Tok is helping me with talking to people now. Also we have to deal with another land deal in Smallville; apparently we're being caught in the middle of some sort of battle over caves that have both of the Luthors fighting like, well, cats and dogs."

"Caves? In that town Andrew?" Buffy said, "It just gets weirder and weirder, I mean what is going on in Smallville?"

"Pod people?" Gol'Tok asked, "Or maybe they have their own Hellmouth? Maybe the city fathers of Smallville want to compete with Sunnydale for the weird factor?"

"Don't say that," Buffy frowned, "I wouldn't be surprised if it was, true I mean if our luck is true."

Two weeks later at Cheyenne Mountain Jack looked at the military grade Jafanite armour, he wasn't sure about the name, hell; even Teal'c had raised an eyebrow at the name. Jack said, "So, is this good Carter?"

"Yes sir, the armour is good enough to protect from concentrated P90 fire, regular versions at least. This is supposedly denser and stronger so it probably can withstand more hits, maybe even a couple of staff blasts."

"Hmm," Jack said as he put the armour on the floor and grabbed Teal'c's staff for a moment and fired at the armour, only to see it singed but not damaged. He stared at it more closely and said, "Jeez, it's not even warm."

Sam smiled and said, "Sir, I'll tell you all about it on our trip to see the Tok'ra."

"Ooh yeah, Tok'ra," Jack said, "Sounds like fun and don't get me wrong I love your father but I'm seriously starting to dislike the Tok'ra. I mean really; they call us if they need help but hello, they need help all the time."

"Sir," Sam said smiling, "Dad's the one we're meeting; apparently this is more of a personal favour from Selmak."

"Nice," Jack said, "And we can avoid Aldwin," as they walked towards the gate room and saw Daniel waiting for them.

Teal'c shrugged, feeling the weight of his armour and said, "This armour feels good, I approve."

"But still," Jack said, "Is anyone even a bit suspicious about the name Jafanite? I mean it's a bit of a coincidence to me."

"Well Jack, the name Jaffa is also a city and of a cake and is also named after an orange," Daniel said, "So Prime Defence Mechanics could've gotten the name from anywhere."

"Well," Jack said, "It still sounds iffy," as they walked through the Stargate.

On the other side they were met by Jacob who was alone, Sam said, "Umm dad, you are the only one here?"

"Because Sammy," Jacob said, "This is a personal matter for Selmak; she's been upset ever since a while ago a very private message was sent to her."

Sam frowned, "For her personally? From where?"

Jacob's eyes flashed and Selmak said, "Some time ago there was another symbiote who I personally think that even Jack O'Neill would've liked; a rebel by Tok'ra standards: outspoken and critical of how we conducted war."

"Cool," Jack said, "An opinionated snake, just what the world needs."

"Anyways," Selmak continued, "My mate's name was Gol'Tok, a brilliant if not somewhat critical and angry man and his host, Harnin, was similar. About fifty years ago the high council, to get rid of him, sent him on a mission outside Goa'uld held space."

"Oh? What was so bad," Sam asked, "That they sent him away?"

Selmak laughed, "He argued long and passionately about the less advanced societies as he felt badly for them, he suggested at one point to put resources to help relocate them to worlds that the Goa'uld abandoned or left and," Sam swore her father blushed when he said, "We argued a lot about things, everything it seemed but yes, we did love each other even if our arguments got heated."

"Oh, umm, wow," Sam said, "But anyways, what happened?"

Jacob sighed and said, "A while ago the message came to Selmak personally, a Tok'ra near the old home world was there and received it and sent it to me because it had Selmak's name on it."

He pulled out a ball and activated it a hologram of an older man appeared, "By Netu, is this bloody thing on? Selmak beloved, we're in a lot of trouble and he's not dead, he's… Ah Netu!" the message stopped.

"That kid was Gol'Tok's host, Harnin," Jacob said, "The message ended within a light year of Earth. Now it's a fair bet to say that he doesn't know the Tok'ra made contact with Earth and he might not even know where he is."

That got Jack's attention and said, "There's a Goa'uld on Earth?" He noticed Jacob's frown and said, "Sorry, Tok'ra; same thing, different ideals but there's one on earth?"

"Yeah, most likely. Gol, from what Selmak tells me, is a survivor: smart enough to hide," Jacob said, "But not smart enough to keep his nose out of trouble and he looked concerned, I would really like to know what he was talking about."

"Well let's go kiddos," Jack said, "If ol Gol is out there on Earth somewhere then I want him off Earth and back with his, umm, friends."

"Jack," Jacob said, "Gol'Tok isn't like most Tok'ra or even Goa'uld, he's different; he has a temper but, knowing him, he's doing the right thing." Jacob finally saw the Jafanite armour and asked, "Where did this come from? Looks nice and tough."

"It's from a new corporation called Prime Defence Mechanics," Sam said, "The Air force is doing a lot of business with them."

"Come on," Jack said, "Let's get to finding this Gol whatever and see about getting him off our planet."

If and when the SGC finds out where Gol'Tok is, how should they react? What do you think Clark's reaction will be when he finds out that most of the meteor rocks have been taken away?
