Part 40 Insanity is a Tauri Trait
The Jaffa brought Janet to the Goauld. She was so not happy with this. She wondered how SG-1 dealt with this crap all the time.
"So Tauri you will tell me of your world and SG-1."
Janet looked the Goauld in the eye and decided to be a bit flippant. She was scared but she would be damned if she would cower before a snake. "What type of info do you want to learn about; I mean Teal'c he loves Star Wars but Jack he is more into comedy's these days. Daniel well he sadly loves those weird Bollywood movies. Sam she's a lot like me and likes chic flicks not that either of us would ever tell the boys that."
The Goauld looked at her strangely."What are you talking about woman?"
"Well you asked me to tell you about SG-1. I mean that was your question right?"
The Goauld looked at the woman his first prime had kidnapped like she had lost her mind. Which given she had been dead and revived might not be so hard to believe."
"Take her back to her cell." He had to think about this. It was either a clever ruse or she was insane. Because no mere human would taunt a god it was just not something they did. He would think about this because while it was possible to revive a human after they were dead it would be a waste of valuable time to do so if the human was insane and had no useful information to give. He would have to think about what the truth was for a little while. He had no idea what the human female had been talking about but, it could be vital information something else to consider with care.
Janet was pushed out the door and they headed back to her cell. She grinned. Well at least now I know why the colonel taunts them it is kind of fun.
The teams were ready to go. Dr. Lam however was clearly not happy that O'Neill was going along. She had no problem at all stating this fact.
"General I do not believe it is safe or wise for Colonel O'Neill to go with the team. His arm is a mess and frankly I believe he would hinder the mission."
O'Neill glared at her and snapped."Well I am going, that is all there is to it. Janet is my friend too. You don't have the right or power to forbid me this mission."
Lam glared and said."I do as the senior medical doctor here I can and will forbid this if it is dangerous to your safety or that of your team. They at least have the right to know that your condition is very bad. Your arm was nearly ripped off. Frankly if you end up using it in any way it may result in you being unfit forever. That Colonel would force a medical retirement on you."
SG-1 all looked at Jack with concern. Carter would have agreed but she knew how stubborn the colonel was and he was clearly angry. She held her tongue for now.
General Hammond spoke up."Dr. Lam while I can see your point few know how to deal with the Goauld as well as Colonel O'Neill and I do believe his insights will be needed. That being said however your point is well made. He will be restricted to staying with the ship. Jack that is an order the doctor is right you are a danger to your team in your current state."
"Well whose fault is that, I will do whatever it takes to save Janet this arm is nothing to that!" Jack almost shouted as he glared at Buffy.
"Yours for being an idiot and threatening my people, maybe I should have just broke your neck and been done with it." Buffy said her own temper rising. "With idiots like you Americans in charge it's a wonder that we aren't neck deep in snakes by now."
Giles caught her and pulled her back. She was not in a mood to be taunted and the colonel as not wise enough to know when to back down. Her whole posture was rigid and ready to go into a fight.
"It hardly matters at this point Buffy. We are clearly stuck with the American military. We need them to get Janet back for Cassandra."
"Fine, but keep him on a leash or I swear I'll drop him in a black hole."
O'Neill glared at her but she was not budging. It was so going to be a fun mission. He only had to look at the General to see he would have to deal with these people but he did not like it at all.
Escaping was now clearly a priority. Having scouted the ship Janet was fairly certain she had the layout down. The larger issue was to find out where she was. She had no idea if they were still in space or if they were on a planet. That could become essential to any plans she might think of making. She decided since she now had a partner of sorts' maybe it was time to ask some advice.
'Any idea on what we should do?'
'Escape is not vital. Like you I am rather concerned at our location. If we are in space escaping will be highly difficult. Not impossible but difficult in that we would need to secure a ship that can travel a far distance. If we are on a world we might still need a ship but we may be able to escape by utilizing a Star Gate assuming one is present.'
'Yeah that was my thought to. Only I'm not sure that would be the best choice. I mean a ship gives us a lot more flexibility. We could fly to another world and send a message to our allies. We can't gate straight to Earth because of the Iris over the gate. I know the address to the Alpha world but I can't dial it from here as it is secret and we can't risk the Goauld learning about it. The same goes for the Beta and Gamma sites. I could maybe dial the Tolan but home world but again there is a protective cover. It might be possible to send a message there but I'm not sure.' Janet said.
'We must decide soon. If they discover my presence both our lives will be in danger. I must survive Janet. I am a Queen and my people need me. I also know that your daughter needs her mother we must move swiftly and with cunning.'
'I know my friend it is just that I am frightened. I'm a doctor and while I am in the United States Air Force and a part of Star Gate Command I never expected to be in this situation with only myself to rely on. That is only one set of hands. I admit being afraid.'
Eugenie smiled at this 'Believe me I understand. I never expected to have to fight without my brother. However I know he and Ethan will be attempting to find help. I just want to ensure that we are alive to be rescued.'
Janet nodded at that. 'We know we dropped out of hyper space that being the case maybe we should attempt to steal one of the cargo ships. You said they are always stocked with food and fuel. We could use that to escape. I think they would have maps as well.'
'That is a logical plan Janet we could use the cloak to hide that might avoid a fight. If we can get away we could hide until its safe and then maybe fly to an allied world or perhaps even an old Tok'Ra base. We should try to escape when they take us back later.'
'Agreed,' Janet said as her stomach growled. 'I wonder if they will feed me and more importantly if I should eat it. I'm also really thirsty.'
Eugenie directed Janet to the wall and a sick popped out. 'Pass your hand under the nozzle.'
Janet did as she was told and water came out. She quickly cupped her hands and took a drink. She was really glad she had Eugenie in her mind it made her feel not so alone and like she had a good friend. She now understood why Sam had grieved for the Tok'Ra Jolanar. It was time to drink and rehydrate her body and then get ready to escape. She wondered if SG-1 knew about the sinks and other amenities in the cells. It was something to remember to put into her report as it could be useful information. That was assuming she got away to make the report and that all Goauld ships holding cells were similar.
