OMG. I have been out of town with out a computer and it is the most painful thing! Sorry I didn't post sooner. I promise to post much more this week to make it up.
"No," Jack said as he stared at the Gate from the briefing room.
"Jack, Ba'al is dead," Daniel started. "Mal'tec maybe the only person that can remove those damn 'trinkets'. He's offered, I think we need to take him up on his offer."
"What, and let him and the other hundred Jaffa gate into the SGC? We have NO proof that Ba'al is dead. They could bring him with them!"
"Of course not. Have him gate to a planet of our choosing where we surround the gate instead of the Jaffa before Bringing him here. Jack … If we don't try something she's going to die … or go crazy."
Hammond came out of his office and looked at Jack solemnly. "The President has authorized us to bring Mal'tec to the SGC. I know you want to go in guns blazing Jack but, we've got to try it this way first."
"We're wasting time! Carter's time god damn it!"
"It's this or nothing Jack." Hammond watched his friend struggle with the decision he had to accept. He stormed off without being dismissed but, Hammond wasn't going to challenge him. "Daniel, Teal'c, I need you to keep an eye on him. I don't want to pull him off this mission if I don't have to but, I will."
Daniel and Teal'c silently agreed before Hammond dismissed them and they quickly headed off to the Iso room. The others were in charge of setting up the meeting while SG-1 remained near their injured teammate. As they stepped into the Iso room they were surprised to see Janet crying while Selmak paced and Jack stared at Sam's projected images. It was showing the time Ba'al took a bullet from her weapon and let the gravity machine pull it towards her. The machine couldn't pull the bullet towards her at the force her weapon could fire it and the slow impact it had could only make it more painful.
"We've seen this already," Daniel offered as he tried to fight the need to vomit. Sam was writhing and screaming in pain on the bed – she couldn't recognize that this was merely a memory.
"It started over," Janet offered through her tears. "It recorded her going through the gate on Ba'al's planet. After it played that it went back to the beginning."
As the group watched the memory change to the time Ba'al groped her while she remained held by the gravity machine Teal'c took up an empty stool by Sam's bedside, Daniel leaned heavily against a cabinet of medical supplies, and Jack sank down the concrete wall, sitting heavily on the floor by the door. They all remained motionless as they watched Ba'al beating Sam with his bare hands, enraged that she had spit in his eye.
