Here's chapter 5! Enjoy and please review.
SG teams 8 and 9 returned from their surveillance expedition quite pleased with themselves because they'd been able to shoot some footage of the "god" and both Nick and Daniel were anxious to see if their theory was correct.
Hooking up the video camera to the VCR, the two men seated themselves in front of it and fast forwarded to the middle of the tape where a man emerged from a special "temple" that had been constructed for him to stay in. Both Daniel and Nick were overjoyed to see that the headdress was indeed a replica of the relief from the tomb in Amarna. They now knew for certain that they were dealing with the heretic god of Egypt's history; Aten.
The pair raced up to Jack's office to tell him the news and he immediately told Nick to start preparing some kind of briefing that he could give to the Tok'ra. After agreeing to this, he turned to Daniel. "Who are the Tok'ra?" he asked as they began walking back down to the office where they were both working.
"They're kinda like the Goa'uld, except that they don't try to take over planets and make people their slaves." Daniel explained. "Sam's father Jacob is a Tok'ra host and I imagine that he'll be on his way here once Jack contacts him and tells him that we've got a Goa'uld on the loose."
"So I take it that the Tok'ra are our allies." Nick said out loud.
"Yes and no…we help each other out when the occasion calls for it, but Jack had a pretty bad experience with a Tok'ra named Kanan and let's just say that he's not exactly going to be running for president of the "We Heart The Tok'ra" fan club."
Nick snorted at this and rolled his eyes as he entered Daniel's office and began writing out something he could tell these…people for lack of a better term. He was still bent over his desk when a plate of food was placed down in front of him. There was a steaming hot ham and cheese sandwich that was making his mouth water along with some potato chips and something that looked suspiciously like root beer.
Reaching out for it, he smiled when a familiar hand swatted his arm away. "Aren't you going to tell me hello?" Lena asked, her voice sounding playfully put out with him.
Rising to his full height of 6 foot 2, Nick gazed deeply into her eyes and replied, "Hello there Gorgeous…what's a beauty like you doing in a place like this?"
She started to laugh but was effectively silenced by her husband's kiss. "I think I should bring you lunch more often." she said, laying her head on his shoulder and snuggling up to him.
"I think you should too…might get him out of his books once in a while." Daniel said from behind them.
They turned and both glared at him which only served to heighten his amusement at the current situation. Nick grinned evilly and before Daniel could ask what he was plotting now, something pinched his butt-hard.
Yelping in surprise, he whirled around to see Janet go sauntering down the hall. His cheeks burning, Daniel wasn't at all surprise to hear Nick and Lena both snickering from behind him.
"Bet you two think this is really funny, don't you." he said.
"Actually, I think I'd go for the term hilarious myself…what about you, Darling?" Nick said.
Lena pretended to consider the question carefully before answering, "I think the term that I would employ here would be something along the lines of "turnabout is fair play"…"
Daniel growled at them before heading off down the hall to the infirmary. Janet was going to get a little surprise this afternoon…
