Stood in a darkened room, Anders and MacDonald awaited the signals from Green and Jarrod to signify that they where ready to make their move. Two clicks from each radio would signify that they where ready to make their final move against the two Goa'uld. Stood leaning against the wall, Tom Anders smiled as he checked his weapon once more, much to the annoyance of his team leader.

"Would you stop doing that" She whispered.

"Sorry, I hate waiting"

"I noticed" She smiled.

"So, what do you think of Williams?" He laughed slightly.

"Anders you've picked a hell of a time to chit-chat"

"No, I'm serious… it must be strange for you seeing her again. Knowing she had the life you didn't"

"Is this going someplace or are you just trying to piss me off?" She growled.

"Look, I know what happened to you in the past. It's not her fault, not yours either"

"I was abandoned you idiot… cast aside for the son they wanted"

"I know… what do you think of her?" He smiled slightly.

Slowly she turned and looked into his eyes as a slight smile crept across his face.

"Ohh you've gotta be joking me, your interested in her… aren't you? She's me you idiot!"

"No, she's not. Besides, I think she's cute… would you mind if I…"

"Asked her…"

Quickly, MacDonald covered her mouth as she almost burst out into laughter. Controlling herself for a moment she lowered her hand and looked up into his eyes as she spoke.

"Go for it Anders, if you want my permission… you've got it, go for it. Just do me a favour… let me watch, please. Hell if she says yes, I'll even pay for the dinner"

"You doubt me?" He smiled.

"Ohh no, I'm behind you all the way. But I think you'd have better chance with Green then with Williams" She smiled.

Slowly she turned away from him and clenched her eyes closed for a second before he peered around the corner one more time. Finally, the signal was given four quick clicks of her radio signalled they where ready to make their move. Raising her weapon quickly, Anders moved too her side as they begun to move towards the large door before them. Quickly pressing the controls, the large doors opened as the moved in and scanned the room with their weapons aimed, slowly Anders lowered his weapon and looked in shock at his leader as he spoke.

"Empty, it's empty"

"I see that, what the hell is going on?"

With suppressors attached to their weapons, Green and Williams entered the large room before them and stopped in shock at what they saw. Slowly Green scanned the room with her weapon as she whispered.

"Where the hell are they?"

In an instant a brilliant flash of light and energy grabbed them as they disappeared from the room and finally materialised onboard the USS Hammond, shock gripped them as they stood with the other members of the away mission as Colonel Carter stood and walked towards them with a look of concern in her face.

"Sorry to do that without telling you, We have a problem…"

"I see that, where the hell are the Goa'uld?" Williams barked.

"A short time ago, we detected a beam out to a cloaked Ha'tak… then a hyperspace window. They're gone"

"WHERE?" Williams yelled.

"Helm, set course for the nearest safe planet with a Stargate, Sg-10 follow me, you too Miss Williams"

The Starship vanished into Hyperspace as SG-10 followed the Colonel off the bridge, taking one more look around Williams returned to the group as they entered a small briefing room next to the bridge, as they sat down Carter began speak quickly.

"Now listen up, we or should I say you don't have much time. A short time ago the SGC intercepted a message too a Cloaked scout ship in orbit of Earth, you may want to see it"

Quickly, Carter's experienced hands danced over the console before her as she activated the screen and played back the message. The screen lit up with a face that made MacDonald slowly stand as she looked at the screen, the face of her brother. However, his face had changed with the sickening tone of a Goa'uld symbiont as he spoke.

"Lord Mabus, all pieces are in play for your return to the Tau'ri. With the death of my host's father I now have complete control as you had foreseen…"

"What the Fu… what's going on?" MacDonald called out.

"I assume that is…"

"My Brother Sam… he's a Goa'uld?"

"Yes, the SGC has had him under surveillance for several months now"

"WHAT? Why the hell wasn't I informed?" She growled.

"The SGC and the I.O.A believed that you where too close to inform, especially since what happened with your father…"

"What…" Amanda called out. "What happened to Dad, I mean… your dad?"

Slowly Alison lowered her head as Carla Green spoke.

"Ambassador Williams was killed several months ago after being captured and reprogrammed to kill the President and many heads of State during a Classified meeting in the U.K…"

"Oh my god…"

"Are you saying that Ben was the Goa'uld who reprogrammed him?" Alison said slowly.

"Uncertain, shortly after the death of your father, he took over his position as Ambassador. Not long after, several members of his personal staff noticed his strange behaviour and alerted the I.O.A. General O'Neill ordered the surveillance. Once we drop out of Hyperspace, you and your team will gate back to the SGC, you will all take up position as his personal guard… a second meeting is being planned as we speak. We believe that Mabus, both of them are headed to Earth"

"Why me?" MacDonald asked quickly.

"It seems that the Ambassador himself asked for you, personally"

Back at Stargate Command, the gate activated on schedule as SG-10 plus one entered the Gateroom and quickly moved down the large metallic ramp towards General Landry and another highly decorated officer. Smiling slightly too herself, Amanda walked towards the General before her and saluted loosely as he looked down at her and returned the salute.

"You find something funny Captain MacDonald?"

"No sir, Actually sir… She's Alison, I'm Amanda. It's just that, where I come from… your no longer Airforce"

Smiling slightly with recognition he nodded slightly as he looked around the gathered SG team.

"Of course, President O'Neill. I like the sound of that. SG-10, we've got a C-5 waiting on the tarmac at Peterson to take you back to the U.K. This time Captain MacDonald, do not let your personal feelings get in the way of your job"

Slowly Alison walked towards the General and stood next too her counterpart with a slight smile the mirrored Amanda perfectly as she replied.

"Aye sir. Any other orders sir?"

"Keep an eye on Ambassador Williams, the Tok'ra have informed us that Mabus and… Mabus are heading too Earth. They will make contact with the Ambassador, detain them if possible… if not…"

"I get the point sir, I trust this time we will not have the luxury of a cruiser at our disposal?"

"None available, you'll be on your own for the time being"

"Understood. Well Amanda, are you up for a little trip?" Amanda smiled.

"Of course, lead the Captain"

"Thank you Captain. General, General" Alison winked.

The long flight to the U.K was plagued with turbulence and an over active security at many airfields, since the last meeting Codenamed 'Babel' ended with the death of a highly respected Ambassador and the attempted assassination of several world leaders, security had been stepped up almost to the point of being Martial Law being declared around the islands of the United Kingdom. Finally after a long journey aboard the large aircraft and through the streets of London in a large car borrowed from the nearest military base, they pulled outside the large US Embassy. Sighing slightly to herself, Alison stopped as she looked at the large building before them.

"Are you okay Mac?" Anders asked politely.

"I'll be fine…"

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

"WHAT?" Alison growled.

"It's exactly like back home, even the sounds"

Quickly Alison threw the car door open and stepped out as her team stepped out of the car. Slowly walking up behind her, Amanda stopped for a moment as she looked at the large building with a smile on her face.

"I can still see every room as it was the last time I was here… you know what I mean"

"The last time I was here, I had to tell Jeffery's personal assistants that he was dead and I failed in my duty to protect him…" Quickly she turned to face her counterpart. "… Listen to me, under no circumstances are you allowed to tell anyone who you really are. If I have too, I will shoot you myself to shut you up, which reminds me, here put these on"

Quickly she reached into her pocket and pulled out a pair of small glasses, perfectly crafted to the Captain's eye sight, nodding slightly she pulled on the glasses and tied her hair up as they walked towards the large doors/

"Remember, your name is Amanda Cole. Special advisor to the I.O.A…"

"I got it, I remember the briefing. What about your Tok'ra pet, if he is a Goa'uld… wouldn't he sense her presence?"

"First off, I am not her pet" Green growled. "And no, the symbiont within me has no Naquadah in her blood, we should fly in under the radar"

"Forgive me, I meant no offence" Amanda smiled.

"Screw you"

Slowly the team of five walked up the steps towards the entrance, with a deep breath from Alison they entered quickly. After a brief check they where finally led towards the office of the Ambassador, upon entering Alison stepped back into the room for the first time in months as she saw her brother sat at the large desk writing.

"Mister Ambassador?"

"Ahh Captain MacDonald, Major Green, Commander Anders… how are you feeling?"

"Fine sir, it's taken awhile but I am okay. Thank you sir" Anders smiled.

"And who are your companions?" The Ambassador asked.

"Tyler Jarrod, he will be taking over as your head of Security for this… meeting and Amanda Cole, my I.O.A advisor"

"A pleasure to meet you both. Now please, sit down… we have a lot too discuss" He smiled darkly.
