Chapter 5

Yeerk H652 was not pleased with his assignment at all. Not now. He had it up to there with Senator Kinsey's whining and he decided to switch as soon as he was done with the visit to SGC. Then he entered the base. At first he was escorted to Dr. Fraiser for a new form of testing that they had to do for all people that entered the base. Then more alarmingly he was escorted to a guest room and ask to wait while they got the General. He heard a lock click shut on the door.

He spend six hours doing nothing, mostly sleeping since the old man was boring him. H652 was still convinced that his cover wasn't blown. They haven't even heard of the Yeerks!

A loud pounding rose Yeerk H652 out of a dreamless sleep. Dr. Janet Fraiser came in alone, shut and locked the door behind her, leaning against it to say, "Well you're the Yeerk that the high command decided to use to infiltrate the government? So sad. You see, unknown to the Council of Thirteen, Visser 1 and 3, I was one of the first Yeerk to use a human body, I am Visser 1's twin, Esplin 9466 Lesser."

Robert felt a surge of hope, while H652 felt terror. "You, you're dead. We all saw the evidence! You're completely dead."

Dr. Fraiser smirked, the expression quite unused to being on her face. "Nope, I survived. You see, Joe Bob Fenestre, my former host, was gaining power and popularity so my brother wanted me dead. But before he could do so we were blindsided in a car accident. The first person on the scene was a young Dr. Fraiser, when she tried to do CPR to my host I successfully into her head. We been together ever since. How you say? Dr. Fraiser is a doctor and a scientist, she invented a mini-sun device, we're close to getting rid of the it for good, but then you and your ill kind showed up at our door."

Before H652 could even blink the last thing he saw as he was zapped into unconsciousness was Dr. Fraiser zapping herself, twice.

Janet Fraiser slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in the infirmary. General Hammond was standing over her with a look of concern. He handed her a glass with water and a straw. "Don't try to speak, your nurses say and the other staff at hand say that your system has had quite a shock. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I was thinking I had to get that Yeerk out of my head. Sir." Janet said hoarsely but firmly, after gulping down some water and a few minutes for her mouth to work.

General Hammond sighed. "I would like to put you up for a promotion for the hell you have been in, but since we're still trying to keep this thing under wraps, I'll hold off. I'm pleased to note that Senator Robert Kinsey is now firmly on our side of the situation. Clearly being stuck as a nonintervention in his own mind for a few months changed his tune. I won't ask how long you were stuck or how in the world you didn't get caught. I'll leave that up to your debriefing, after you get some rest. That's an order."

Janet successfully snagged his sleeve before General Hammond could go. "Please send in my daughter. I need to see Cassie." Her voice sounded rough as if she haven't spoken in a while.

George smiled, and nodded.

Janet fought off sleep but finally slept without a Yeerk in her mind.

Teal'c ran swiftly next to Phil or as he called himself Ax out of earshot of the humans and controllers. Teal'c was successful during the lunch break to speak his thoughts to Jack and Jack agreed. So now Ax and Teal'c at different times got out of the hike and now were swiftly moving towards Daniel and the colony.

Teal'c felt a strong kinship with the young Andalite warrior. His journey mirrored his own, but for his trading sides. Ax was running swiftly, Teal'c easily keeping pace with the Andalite. Ax was pleased to not have to slow down his stride, it was a long time since someone could keep up with him.

'I would be honored if you would fight next to me in battle. Your tale of this team is similar to my own.'

Teal'c nodded, and kept running.
