h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Steps out of the gate and is greeted by the report receiver.*

[Receiver] Faizhar...We were not expecting you in person...

[Faizhar] Yes, there are extenuating circumstances. I must request a Shiva suit from the high council. In the meantime, here is your report.

*Both head off to the high council chamber.*

*The High Council sit and wait for Hussassan and Faizhar*

*Enters.*

Greetings to the High Council. Earth sends its best wishes and friendship.

*Takes a seat.*

By now you have all had a chance to look at my report. May I get the Shiva suit?

[High Council Member] It seems a great risk... we have no operatives in Shiva's court. If our deception were to be discovered, every one of the human fighters and Tok'ra operatives would be in peril.

Are there no other alternatives?

[Hussassan]Unfortunately, no. This is the best chance we have to destroy Bastet, and we have to take it. Even if we don't kill her, we can easily get her and Shiva to fight, thus making ourselves safer.

If we are captured, the plan is to insist until the end that we are true srvants of Shiva. Bastet should attack him in that case, meaning that at least some good will come out of a failed mission. This would also leave our operatives in Bastet's court safe.

[HCM] If you are certain... O'Neil's promotion did not put an end to unconventional tactics from Stargate Command... *Grins wryly.* Your request has been approved. Mosi will take you to get your suit.

*Mosi, the receiver bows and stands, ready to lead Hussassan/Faizhar to the correct armoury.*

Thank you.

*Gets up and leaves with Mosi.*

*They arrive at the armoury. Mosi gets the Shiva suit out.*

[Mosi] You will come back, won't you?

[Faizhar] Yes. Do not worry. When the Gou'uld are gone, I will return here for good....Farewell.

*Leaves. Mosi stares after him for a few moments, then turns away.*

*The gate opens and two airmen come through bearing Scandrea/Junit. Two Tok'ra come out to meet them, and after some discussion, rush her to the infirmary to prepare her for the removal of the symbiote. Arrangments are made to evacuate the current planet in case the airmen were detected coming through.*

*+ antelope who growls when they attempt to move it from the infirmary as a "health hazard"*

*Scandrea gradually regains consciousness after Junit is removed, and looks at the antelope.*

Why haven't you gone home yet?

*Passes out again.*

*A Tok'ra agent looks at the Antelope and decides to leave it where it is, she brings it a bowl of water and some grass*

*Seeing that its position is no longer being threatened, the antelope lies down and hunkers down to the grass, keeping an eye on the major*

[Salnar] It seems our Tauri friend has a guardian

*Scandrea rolls over and pushes herself up on her elbows.*

Hi.

[Salnar] I am Salnar, you were brought here by your superiors because you were blended with a Goa'uld, we managed to remove her from you but you may still have some of her memories, you were not joined long enough to have them all imprinted on you

*Salnar smiles and her host starts to speak*

I'll be here if you need to talk things through

*Winces.*

I remember. Kind of. Can I have some water? I haven't touched anything since I was captured.

[Salnar] Certainly.

*She hands over a glass of water*

What happened to you

*At the sound of the major's voice, the antelope leaps up and pushes between the two forms, butting Scandrea*

*Manages to keep most of the water in the glass, drinks the remainder, and pets the antelope.*

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. I got captured, and I was turned into a host. Thanks, by the way.
