Chapter 1

The Goa'uld

The Infirmary, 1:00pm

Daniel was sitting in the infirmary waiting for his blood to be taken. He was looking around the room; all he could see was the boring cement walls, the hospital bed and the hospital gizmos. Then he saw the doctor come towards him, he saw Janet's face smiling, at least he thought he did . Instead it turned out to be Doctor Lam who was going to take his blood. While she was taking his blood he thought about how all the women in his life have always left him, and wondered what he did wrong.

Shar're died. Shyla, daughter of Pyrus, the princess of the naquadah planet, was basically giving Daniel and herself a fix from the sarcophagus, but he left her with good reason. Then Sara; she left him, he thought it was because she blamed him for what happened. Then Janet, oh Janet, how he loved to see her laugh and smile. Unfortunately they couldn't get her body bac, the Goa'uld took her body before the SGC could get it. All these women, and others who are more recent, gone . These memories were coming to him, when suddenly the alarm went off; the sergeant's voice went on the p.a. system. "Off world activation" His voice echoed the halls of the base.

As soon as the doctor was finished he quickly yelled over his shoulder, "Sorry Carolyn I need to go."

"It's okay Daniel, go" Carolyn yelled back. He ran out of the infirmary, into the elevator, waited till it was his floor, and then ran out of the elevator, down the hall, and opened the door into the gate room.

"Chevron seven locked" said the sergeant, through the microphone.

The Gate Room 1:10pm

Jack, Sam and Teal'c were already there. "Receiving I.D.C., it's the Tok'ra," said the sergeant.

"Oh great, here we go again… Open the iris," stated Jack. Walter did just that, and a few seconds later Selmak (Jacob Carter), Anise (Freya), and Garshaw of Belote (Yosuf) came through the gate. Everyone was in shock; it's not every day that they have one of the Tok'ra's high councilman walk through the door. After the gate shut down the Tok'ra started to come down the ramp.

Jacob Carter went straight to Sam, "Hi Sam," he said.

"Hi dad," replied Sam. Jacob gave Sam a hug.

"We need to speak with you," said Garshaw. Freya looked at Jack and smiled. She was wearing a brown v dress (but it didn't show anything) it had only one sleeve that was long and the other sleeve was a thin strap. Jack looked back at her and Garshaw still surprised.

"I haven't seen you two in awhile" stated Jack.

"We had other things to do for the Tok'ra." Said Anise (the Tok'ra), and then switched with Freya.

"Now can we please talk in privet, this is a problem concerning you" said Garshaw.

"Us?" They- Jack, Sam, and Daniel-all said. Teal'c just nodded his head.

Jack's Office, 1:15pm

Garshaw and Anise were the ones who sat, because they were guests and ladies. Jacob stood beside Sam and behind Anise. Teal'c stood in the corner of the room that was beside the window. Daniel leaned on the wall beside the door and behind Sam. So when Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c and the Tok'ra reached Jack's office, Garshaw immediately started to talk. "We have some information about a Goa'uld called Nut. She is the …" then before Garshaw finished Daniel interrupted her.

"Nut the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky." Everyone just looked at Daniel; Jack looked at him with his plain look. Daniel felt very embarrassed. "Yea, I'm done now, you can go on with what you were saying" said Daniel, he scratched on the back of his neck to show he was a little embarrassed.

Garshaw nodded and continued, "She once was a system lord but she and her husband were removed from their host's bodies because of something that happened…"

"Like?" asked Jack.

"They tried to murder all the system lords…" said Garshaw.

"Now how come we were never told this" asked Jack.

"You never asked" said Anise.

"How could we ask if we didn't even know" stated Jack with that untrustworthy feeling again.

"So how does all this relate to us?" asked Sam.

"This Goa'uld knows almost everything about you, and apparently it's someone you know" stated Garshaw.

"Someone we know?" Sam said confused.

"I didn't get enough information because … our … Tok'ra spy's … got killed. Unfortunately I was the only one who got this information before they died" stated Garshaw who was deeply saddened because the talk of the murder which was done, to her friend.

"I came because I have some personal matters with Colonel … I mean General O'Neill" stated Freya all of SG-1 looked at Jack.

"I came because I wanted to have sometime with my kids so the Tok'ra gave me three weeks off," stated Jacob Carter.

Everyone looked at Jack to be dismissed. "Oh, um you're dismissed." Jack finally said, everyone left the room except Jack who was looking at SG-15's mission reports on P5R-382, and Freya didn't seem to leave ether.

Jack must have thought Freya was going to do some other things first before she talked to him, like she said she would, because he didn't even notice that she was there until she said "General, can I talk to you please" to Jack looking down at him from in front of his desk.

Jack just look up from the mission reports and answered, "Close the door". Freya did just that; closed the door next to Jack's chair first, then closed the next one, then went straight in front of Jack's desk. Jack stood up and quickly moved him and Freya near the door that wasn't besides the window in Jack's office. So no one would know what he or she were doing but not so close that if someone opened the door, the door would hit them both. Jack gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.

"How come you haven't visited me in awhile?" Jack asked as he fiddled with her hair in his fingers.

"I was doing … something " she answered as she looked away from his eyes, they were both so close together in each other's arms "but that's not why I came" she said now looking in his eyes again.

"Well why did you come than?" Asked Jack puzzled, you could tell by the look on his face. "I came to tell you … our relationship shouldn't go on," she stated, she didn't laugh so she was serious. Jack was confused, he had been dating her for two years and she's telling him they're now over.

"Then one more kiss for a good bye," said Jack…

Meanwhile In The Elevator, 1:33pm

Sam was deep in thought, Oh; I'm so hungry I could eat anything right now. I should go have lunch at O'Malley's Bar and Grill. They have great steaks, and I haven't been there since the time we had those arm bands. Oh I forgot, I wanted to ask General O'Neill if he wanted to come. So she started to go down which wasn't that bad, I mean she was on level 26 all she had to do is go down one level. She pressed the stop button, which as you may have guessed stopped the elevator and then she pressed the 27 button, then she started to go down. The elevator stopped. She left the elevator, turned the corner, then opened the door to see Jack kissing Freya.

Jack and Freya both stopped kissing and turned their attention to Sam and broke away from each other's arms. Sam's heart broke into a million pieces; she was holding in her cry, she couldn't be attached to anything, or anyone for that matter, that was the way the military taught her, that's the way it is. But she just couldn't help her self she loved him too much. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I was interrupting something," said Sam trying not to sound upset.

She then left the room with the door open, walked back to the elevator then closed the door of the elevator still holding in her tears just in case someone came in the elevator. Instead of going all the way up like the last time she was in there, she went up to only level 25. As soon as she was out of the elevator she walked to her room, so she wouldn't give anyone an idea that something was wrong. She opened her door, and closed it slowly so it wouldn't slam then ran to her bed holding her pillow crying her eyes out. No one was there for her because her dad was going to see Mark first because he hadn't seen him in awhile, and who could she possibly talk to anyway on a military base. "For crying out loud" she yelled out then put her hand over her mouth and waited to see if anyone heard that, she was safe.

Back At Jack's Office, 1:45pm

Oh no, this is all my fault thought Jack as Freya left. She went down stairs, and told the sergeant to start to the dialing sequence. Garshaw was waiting for her because she knew Freya wouldn't take too long. Jack sat back in his chair with regret, I'm such an idiot, he thought to himself.

"Chevron seven locked" said the sergeant. Garshaw walked through first then Freya followed through the gate not looking back at what she had ended, and also started. The gate shut down then started spinning again because Teal'c was preparing to go with SG-5 to PX8-288. The gate finished dialing, SG-5 and Teal'c stepped through.

"I mean yes, I was dating Freya, but that doesn't mean I don't have feelings for Sam too. In fact love her, what am I saying, I have to be firm and detached."

Daniel's Office, 2:00pm

"Nut the wife of Geb" Daniel was reading on the Internet when his thought's stopped him. "I wonder who the Goa'uld is." Just than Jack walked through Daniel's door breaking his thoughts. Daniel looked up and turned around to where Jack was.

"How did you know I was here?" Jack asked.

"Because you're so loud. So what did Freya want?" asked Daniel

"Uh… " Jack moved his attention from the floor to Daniel, "she dumped me. I guess I knew it would happen because I hadn't seen her in eight months, but I was a bit confused and surprised" stated Jack. Daniel and Teal'c knew what was going on with Freya and Jack, but didn't say anything to Sam because Jack asked them not to; they knew why but didn't speak of it ever. "Well I'm thinking of sending SG-1 to that Goa'uld planet and since Teal'c isn't here I'm coming with you guys. I'm so bored here sitting in a chair all day long, I miss the action," stated Jack. "I'm going to tell Carter, meet in the gate room in one hour" said Jack, turning around and leaving the room.

Sam's Room, 1:55pm

"Okay stop crying your starting to get red cheeks" Sam said to her self out loud, "I mean you have other things to worry about like, what will the color of your walls be when you move out, that's if I move out. Or if I'm going to clean this room." The place was a mess, clothes were all over the room, the bed was a mess, and the chairs were on the floor. Sam cleaned up the place as fast as she could; her cheeks were still red so she did the one thing that would help… a shower. Sam loved taking showers and the moment called for it so she went to the women's locker room. Sam took a half an hour, normally she would take a five to ten minuet shower but today Sam was slow. It took 5 minuet's to change then walk back to her room, once she got inside, with the door open, Sam saw Jack on her bed looking at the back of one of her books. "Sir" Sam immediately said, she was surprised.

"No it's ok Carter, I was just leaving" He answered and put the book down beside the bed. You could tell just looking at the back of the book bored him. "Oh before I forget SG-1 and I are going to that planet Garshaw was talking about." Stated Jack, walking over to the door where Sam was, now in front of her ready to leave.

"I don't think Garshaw left the co-ordinates" replied Sam.

"She gave it to the sergeant, Walter, before she left. Be geared up and ready to go in a half an hour, meet you in the gate room." Said Jack while looking at his watch and leaving. Sam followed behind to get her equipment, and closed the door behind her self.

The Gate Room, 3:00pm

"Chevron seven is locked," said sergeant who was sitting down in front of the computer screen. The MALP went through the gate; it took about a minute and a half to get to the other side of the gate.

"I'm not reading any life signs but I'm reading the air is breathable," stated Sam who was in the seat next to the sergeant. "Sir" started Sam; she looked up from the computer screen to the General, than started again. "Shouldn't we send the UAV just in case to search for any kind of anomalies?"

"Yes, go ahead Carter," replied Jack

"Evacuate the gate room" Sam's said on the microphone. After a few seconds the airman left the room, Sam said over the microphone "Launching UAV in 10 seconds. 9… 8 … 7… 6 … 5… 4 … 3(UAV's propellers start up) … 2 … 1."

The UAV goes flying through, "I just love that thing, well sometimes." Jack stated with another plain look on his face. Daniel looks at him, Jack looks back. Daniel didn't say anything but just turned around feeling awkward. Jack's attention goes to the screen of the UAV.

"Successful launch, reaching the other side of the gate in 3 … 2 … 1. Temperature is 77 Fahrenheit (25 Celsius) outside, the air is composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen with traces of water vapor, carbon dioxide, argon, and other various components. Typical natural air, and the life sign is zero. That can't be right."

"Maybe they're off world visiting their Goa'uld friends." Jack said.

"Um, I am detecting something huge. It will be showing in about 5 second on the screen," added Sam. They waited for five seconds than saw a pyramid sticking out of the top of the trees.

"Carter?" asked Jack.

"I think it's worth exploring, but we should be careful just in case," stated Sam looking at her commanding officer.

"Agreed we should take SG-8 with us" replied Jack.

A little Bit later, 3:30pm

SG-8 walked in the room, one was helping another put on the backpack he was about to carry. SG-1 (without Teal'c) and Jack were already ready, had been for the past 30 minutes. The sergeant was already dialing the planet again "Chevron six, is engaged. Chevron seven… is locked" the sergeants voice said over the microphone. "Sending the MALP," he added. They waited to hear what the sergeant said over the microphone, "It's all clear sir."

"SG-8, after you" Jack said looking over at them. Daniel and Sam also looked over at SG-8.

Major Jean Lynn simply replied, "Yes, sir." She nodded her head at Jack than turned to Sam and Daniel "Ma'am, Daniel, alright guys lets get going and be careful" Jean commanded to her troops. SG-8 walked up the ramp and through the gate.

Jack turned to the sergeant. "Walter we will be checking back in 48 hours, if not send in another team," said Jack. "Alright Daniel, Carter lets move out." They all got their guns ready and stepped through the gate.

The Plant, 3:45pm

When they got through they were out numbered by almost 50 Jaffa, they were Hawk guards. There were guards everywhere in the trees, in front of the gate waiting for SG-1 and Jack, and there were guards surrounding SG-8. A Jaffa that was in front of the gate had his weapon on the three friends. "Put down your weapons or we will be forced to take you by force," yelled the middle guard.

"You know, there is something defiantly wrong with that sentence. But sure I'll do as you say, Daniel … Carter" Stated Jack putting down his guns and knife. Carter and Daniel did the same. The Jaffa came over and checked them over to see if there was anything else they had. SG-8 was already taken away. The guard who was yelling at them before and two others bound them by their wrists, in the front one guard, and following behind them was one.

"Put a staff weapon in their backs if they do something wrong. But not too close." The leader, it seemed like, said to five Jaffa before he left to watch the gate.

They were walking through a forest of many trees; oak, maple, birch and even cedar. Jack took a deep breath and said "Ahh nothing like the outdoors right?"

" Tyger be silent" said the leader as he shoved the staff weapon in Jack's back to make him walk faster. Then they finally came to the pyramid they saw on the UAV, it was big, that was for sure, the field in front of it was almost as if there once was a meadow and the grass died a long time ago. There was only dirt.

The Main Room, 4:10pm

The room was just like the room from Shyla's pyramid where the sarcophagus was. It was a brownish, yellowish color just like the pyramid it's self. There were glass windows, and a stairway that lead to a chair on a platform in the back of the room. The chair was blue silk and there was a chair next to it. It looked a little bit bigger, almost the same but there was no silk.

The leader of the Jaffa's spoke, "Kree, kneel before the goddess, Nut."

"Where is she?" Asked Jack, which of course got him a stab in the leg with a staff weapon, he was forced to kneel. Sam and Daniel did the same just because they didn't want to be hit in the leg too. There were about ten Jaffa in the room so they couldn't take them. Just when Jack started to get the feelings back into his leg a lady walked in, well dressed, you could tell she was Nut and it also just so happened to be Janet.
