"I will get to the bottom of your distress mother. You are hiding something quite dangerous. We will try later, won't we?"

Adria became even more determined to solve this riddle. No one had ever stopped her mind probe. But she knew that something strange was happening to her mother. She turned and left the chambers. She wanted answers and she knew how to get them.

Adria had returned to SG1's cell. When she entered, Daniel was the first one to greet her thru the barrier.

"Where's Vala, Adria? Is she alright? Did you heal her? Asked Daniel, frustrated at not seeing Vala.

"Now that you are married to my mother Dr. Jackson. I want answers, and I want them from someone that's not as emotional as you are."

Daniel looked confused at Adria's request. All of them looked confused in the cell, except Takia. She continued to watch Adria, without saying anything. Adria knew of her presence, but something told her to be very careful of this girl.

Adria threw the men to the wall with her mind abilities. Takia remained still. Adria started to probe Sam's mind. The men could not move. Sam's head shot back as she began to show Adria images in her head. She revealed through her eyes, what transpired while captured.

Open your mind to me Col Carter. Show me what happened to my mother. Why is she feeding you? What is my mother hiding from

Sam felt like her mind was going thru a picture show. She relived the pain of seeing Vala forced to feed them to keep them alive. She watched the beatings that Vala received and then Vala eating from the floor for her only food. She watched as Vala cleaned them, and then Vala beaten again in front of her. Then the guards that attacked her and then raped Vala over and over. Sam was gasping from the probe from Adria. Sam was physically shaking and crying, but Adria was relentless, she wanted to know everything. Adria then saw thru Sam's mind, where they continued to beat her mother. She watched thru Sam's mind, where they strapped Vala to a table. The men proceeded to cut open Vala's back as if they were searching for something. She could see her mother struggling to get free, but she was tortured further and then passed out. She could see Sam looking at Dr. Jackson as he was shouting something to the men in the room. Adria stopped the probing. She was growing tired, but didn't show it to the prisoners.

Sam collapsed to the floor unconscious. Adria had drained Sam to the point of exhaustion. Adria's last vestige of strength, released Daniel and his friends from the wall. Mitchell, Daniel and Teal'c moved to Sam's side.

"What did you do to her? Stated Mitchell.

"She has shown me what has happened to my mother. Why did you allow her to be violated?"

"VIOLATED?" Daniel was furious that Adria treated Vala's rape so frivolously. Daniel ran against the enclosement between him and Adria.

"Vala was raped by those damn monsters. They never even gave a reason. They just tortured her and made her feed us to keep us alive. She was beaten within an inch of her life. You act like it was a picnic for her."

"I don't answer to you Dr. Jackson. My mother was weak minded. If she was with me, this would have never happened." Adria stated with disdain for Jackson and his friends. "She cares so much for you Tau'ri and yet she was the one that was not protected. She is still protecting you. Obviously she cares more about you than she does about what I want."

"YOU SELFISH BITCH. SHE HAD NO CHOICE. SOMEONE WANTED TO TORTURE HER FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURE. SHE WAS FORCED TO KEEP US ALIVE."

Adria's eye immediately glowed and she became angry. Mitchell and Teal'c tried to reach Daniel before he went too far. Adria had Daniel, Mitchell and Teal'c in a strangling choke. Adria was still weak, but she had enough energy that she could inflict injury.

Takia spoke up suddenly. "Stop this child of the lost one."

Adria immediately let go of SG1. She turned to watch the child.

"Who are you?" Adria was annoyed that she was interrupted. However her effort to harm SG1 drained her more than she was showing.

"That is not your concern. You can either help your mother or not. She does not deserve this from her own child."

Adria tried to probe Takia's mind, but she was too weak. "This is not over Dr. Jackson. My mother will suffer because of your insolence."

Daniel tried to say something, but was still trying to recover from being choked.

Oh God. Wha…………..what have I done? Vala, please don't let her hurt Vala.

Sam was finally stirring. Her head was pounding and she was a bit disoriented. She put her hand to her head trying to sense where she was. She blinked twice and someone was standing over her.

"Col Carter, are you alright?" It was Teal'c. He was the first one to recover from Adria's choking session.

"I……….I think so. For a two year old, she has quite a knack for persuasion." Said Sam.

"Indeed."

Sam noticed that Takia had crawled over to Daniel and Mitchell. Daniel was shaking his head, realizing that he let his anger get the best of him. He looked at Mitchell and Takia.

"Oh God Takia. I forgot who I was dealing with. I……….I just wanted Vala to be alright. I let her get to me. She…… she might hurt Vala because of what I said to her."

Takia turned Daniel's face to her. "You were only concerned for the lost one. Her child thinks only of herself. She does not know what it feels like to have someone care about her. She only furthers her own means for destruction."

Mitchell interjected. "If it wasn't for you Takia, we would have been dead."

"No, she wants something more than killing you. She wants to know why her mother loves all of you and not feel the same way about her."

"You………you mean she's jealous?" Asked Sam.

"She is the lost child of the lost one. She is lost on what she wants, and afraid of what she needs. Origin is using her as they have used the lost one."

"But Takia; I pushed Adria about her lack of concern of what happened to Vala. I don't know what Adria will do to her." Added Daniel. He realized that Adria is capable of harming Vala for no good reason, if other than get back at him.

"We will pray that she does not harm her. There are many lives at play here. I can only be ready for what may come."

Again Taika was being cryptic. But she realized her time for action may be too late.

VALA'S CHAMBERS

Adria had returned to Vala's chambers. She walked over to her bedside and watched Vala asleep. Adria was still weak and was angry that she could not probe her mother's mind further. As Adria watched her mother, a Prior entered the chambers.

"What is it Prior?"

"We have the Commander of the slaver ship we destroyed. What is your will Orici of this prisoner?"

"I will deal with him later. I have important matters to deal with."

"Yes Orici, but he would be a valuable ally to spread the will of Ori." Said the Prior.

"You are wise Prior. Then make it so. Have him prepared, then I will give him his first task."

"As you wish Orici." The Prior bowed then left Adria alone.

Adria continued to stare at her mother. She knew something wasn't right. The small girl was not afraid of her, which made her weary and troubled. Adria could not even penetrate her mind and she certainly was not affected by her powers as and Orici.

What did the girl say? The lost one? She called me the child of the lost one. Why would she call me that? I am Orici, I am not lost. No she called my mother the lost one. I can sense she is ancient. Why is this child here? Why is she not affected by me?

Adria wanted answers and she seemed to be asking herself more. She knew inertly that this child had something to do with her mother. After a long stare at Vala, Adria decided to return to her own personal chambers to meditate and regain her strength. She decided that her mission was still important, and one more added to her mission would further the Ori.

SLAVERS CELL

The Prior entered the outer doors to Kraco's cell. Kraco refused to stand up and only sneered at his captor. The Prior spoke.

"You shall do the bidding of the Orici. She is being merciful and will instruct you for further use. For now, you shall become as one with the Ori. Hallow are the Ori."

Kraco's eyes became wide as the Prior raised his staff and pointed it towards him. Kraco felt a seering pain thru his chest. He felt himself being pulled from his body and then an awerness of Origin. When he opened his eyes, he had the knowledge of Origin. His eyes were white globes and he stepped forward , face to face with the Prior.

"Hallow are the Ori." Spoke Kraco.

"Report to the Command center Prior. You will keep your name. Only I and the Orici will know of it. Serve as New Commander for the Orici."

"Yes Prior. Hallow are the Ori." Kraco was given a staff by one of the guards and reported to his new position.
