Such a busy day
It was nearing the time for Steven to call with his report. This would be the first of such reports since his arrival in this galaxy and Ba'al would admit, if only to himself, that he worried about Steven's safety while they spoke.
While on Earth, Steven had proven himself to be Ba'al's most loyal servant. Certainly the most loyal he had seen in many, many years. It would annoy him a great deal if Steven was caught, or worse killed.
But that is neither here nor there. Soon his most loyal will contact him to report what he has seen. Until then, Ba'al stares down at the Genii leader, Laden Radeem. He is bound and on his knees, looking worse for wear with two black eyes, bruises everywhere and a long cut across his left cheek.
"I have an appointment to keep, so our little chat will have to wait. It'll give you time to think over my proposal." Ba'al nodded to Chalnok then spun on his heel and left the room.
The Genii had been pathetically easy to subdue, once they had seen the power of the Goa'uld. Oh, they had resisted, of course; tried to take ambush Ba'al and his Jaffa. It seems they liked the technology his Jaffa had shown when they had first scouted this world. A wave of his hand, sending several Genii through the air, and watching their bullets deflect from his personal shield had gone a long way in convincing them to surrender.
Now all that needed to be done was to 'convince' the Genii leader, Laden, that Ba'al's way was the best. They would be under Ba'al's rule regardless, but it could be a benevolent rule or a harsh one. It was his choice, really. Protection from the Wraith or not, Ba'al would leech the resources from this planet.
