Chulak always seemed quiet when you first entered it, Daniel Jackson decided as he stared around. He had managed to procure a pass to Chulak. How exactly he managed this, Daniel still wasn't sure. In fact, he suspected that it may as well be a one way trip for him. Still, he knew he wanted a way to rescue Sam, and he was beginning to suspect that that mission was impossible from earth.
"Come," Teal'c said and walked away from the Stargate.
They walked along the roughly outlined path that wound through the grass for about ten minutes before a figure ran onto the path in front of them. It was Bra'tac. "Stop!"
Teal'c froze. Daniel, who was right behind him, stopped just short of bumping into the Jaffa. "Bra'tac," he exclaimed. "It's good to see you."
"Shhh," Bra'tac said. "Come with me. It is unsafe here."
Daniel furrowed his brow. He was confused. He would have thought Chulak would be relatively safe now that Apophis was dead. Unless, he thought with a wry smile, that the Goa'uld wasn't truly dead. Like last time. With a sigh, Daniel followed Teal'c and Bra'tac into the bushes.

Kinsey stared at the vial in front of him, trying his best not to show his awe at what the Aschen were offering. "This seems interesting," he said. He could have sworn that Ambassador Mollem smirked at him.
"This anti-aging vaccine is just the beginning of what the Aschen Confederation can offer the people of Earth," Mollem said smoothly.
"Of course, we would need a sample of this to take back to the SGC in order to do tests on it," Kinsey said.
"That is not possible," Mollem said. "We will distribute the vaccine among your people, but we will retain control of the distribution process, and the vaccine, for the entire time."
Kinsey couldn't help but feel like he could smell a rat. It didn't seem right. "I'm afraid we could not accept those terms."
Mollem stared at him. "You would reject a drug that could double the life span of every single person on your planet? We will be willing to start preliminary distribution among your people for full access to your list of gate co-ordinates."
Kinsey hadn't been a politician for over twenty years for nothing. He knew when there was something his opposition wasn't telling him. "I will have to talk to the president about this."
-
Daniel stared around at the cramped cave that Bra'tac had designated as safe for the time being and shifted slightly on the hard rock he was sitting on. "Now can you tell us what the problem is?" he asked.
"There are rumours of a new and powerful Goa'uld on the rise," Bra'tac said quietly. "It's not safe to be near other Jaffa. Now, what are you doing here?"
Daniel stared at Teal'c who looked back with an expressionless face. "It's a long story."

"Samantha Carter," Mollem said in a mildly exasperated tone. "What am I going to do with you?"
Sam simply stared mutinously up at him from where she was seated at the corner of the cell. She felt Joseph put a hand on her shoulder, a mild comfort, and she gave him a small smile. "Well I can't imagine I have much say in the matter." Privately she thought that the Aschen would lose all interest in her once the alliance with earth was finalised. Right now, she thought, she was probably a 'just in case' card.
Mollem simply gave a brief nod. The door disappeared again and they were left alone in the cell once more.
