Colonel Makepeace was escorted by a team of Airmen into a containment facility. He wasn't sure how long he was waiting. No one was around him not even in the observation room. He writhed in his chair like a worm hopelessly trying to break free of his restraints with no luck.
"Makepeace." Jack strode in with Major Carter at his side glaring at the former commander that sat in the chair. Her expressions were unreadable.
"What are you gonna do to me Jack? Shoot me."
"Oh I really want to, but sadly my little grey friends in the sky want to keep you alive. Apparently, you have something we need to save the galaxy again."
"Well it seems to me like you have everything under control so why the long wait?"
There emitted a light behind Jack. Carter turned around to face the light and Jack turned his back on Makepeace. He shifted his own gaze as the image of an Asgard began to form.
"Heimpall, again?" Makepeace rolled his eyes in irritation.
"If you mean Heimdall, then I am not him."
"Who are you?"
"I am Thor."
"Right, should have known." Makepeace rolled his eyes.
"Thor, Buddy! How have you been?"
"We have been trying to contact you for over a month now and you haven't been responding. We were worried." Sam stated simply.
"Indeed, the beaming technology, sublight and hyperdrive engines are fully operational however everything else is offline."
"Ahh 'scuse me. Can someone fill me in?"
"I don't know if I even want to, Makepeace."
Makepeace rolled his eyes. "Look, I know that I didn't agree with your methods of obtaining-"
"You stole from our allies! If you had stolen from Great Britain they would have thrown you in prison! And their prisons are worse than death!"
Makepeace rolled his eyes at Jack. "Is that coming from personal experience, Jack?"
O'Neill had to resist the urge to hit him. "What you did, Makepeace was wrong."
"Be that as it may, I still care about Earth just as much as you do and I would never jeopardize its safety."
O'Neill's eyes were alit with anger and fury but he knew that Makepeace was right.
"Sir," O'Neil's gaze shifted to Carter, "He did what he did to try and save the planet. I don't agree with how he did it but he isn't a threat."
"You're defending this guy?" O'Neill asked incredulously. Carter let out a breath of air.
"Indeed, Major Carter is right. This is why we saved him, Colonel." Thor spoke, "His heart was in for the safety of the planet not to get gain or because of jealousy. He is the right one."
O'Neill sighed deeply. "Have Frasier test him then we'll debrief him. His heart might be in the right place, but his head isn't exactly screwed on the right way."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Makepeace was just as confused as ever. Accompanied by Dr. Frasier, a medical team gathered around him quickly as O'Neill and Carter took a few steps back. Dr. Frasier drew his blood as she lifted his sleeve that was still wet. He watched as the vial filled with his own blood as if he had never seen it before.
"How long?" Jack asked.
"Half an hour, tops." She responded. The medical team scurried away as they dressed the incision.
"Good, in the meantime you can think about what you've done as you sit patiently in time-out."
"There isn't enough time for that, Jack." Daniel walked in closely followed by Teal'c at his side. "We just received a message from the Tollen that the System Lords have almost completely finished the weapon."
"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Makepeace screamed.
"So what do we do?"
"We need to hurry, but he needs to know what he's walking into first."
"Indeed. O'Neill, there is not much time." Teal'c pleaded.
O'Neill grumbled something unintelligable. "Fine. Teal'c escort our fine friend to the briefing room." Teal'c immediately began untying the restraints around Makepeace's legs, torso and chest but left his hands cuffed. Makepeace tried jerking away from him to no avail. "Daniel get that drive from Carter's office."
"Sir, I can get it." Carter began to move but was stopped in her tracks by her CO.
"Negative. You're with me. Thor," O'Neill turned briefly to face the Alien, "You know what to do." Thor disappeared in a white flash.
Everything left Makepeace's head spinning.
