Why this must be read:

At first I thought this was your typical SG1 adventure story (i.e. go to planet, meet aliens, get in trouble, get out of trouble, go home) with a side of Dan/Sam. Then a jaw-dropping turn (and you should have heard my scream when it happened!) at the end of Chapter 2 turned this into an emotional adventure that just made me want to weep, laugh, and cheer in various turns. Thraesja managed to draw me in extremely fast with wonderful description, emotional heart-string tugs, and spot-on character voices. This has now become one of my absolute fav Dan/Sam adventure stories. Definitely check out this and the author's other wonderful fics!

Story Summary: Jacob recruits SG-1 to help deal a crucial blow to the forces of Anubis and reunite them with an old foe. The question is: When has a Tok’ra mission ever gone well?

“What’s this about, Jacob?” Hammond asked.

“As you know, the Tok’ra have been studying the Telchak device Daniel recovered and are attempting to develop a method of killing Anubis’s Kull warriors.”

Daniel shuddered, no doubt at the memory of his trip to Honduras. Jacob didn’t know the details, but from what little he’d gleaned in the debriefing after he, Sam, Teal’c and Bra’tac had returned from Tartarus, it had been bad.

Next to him, Sam’s arm moved under the table as she placed a sympathetic hand on Daniel’s knee. To Jacob’s surprise, Daniel placed his hand over hers, squeezing what looked to be a thank you. Ouch. If he was still accepting comfort in public, Jacob would have to reassess his opinion of Daniel’s Central American experience to very bad.

‘You see? That is what I would call a lingering touch.’

Jacob sighed inwardly. Selmak had somehow got it into his head that there was something going on between the two scientists. Jacob, while he wasn’t against the idea, was fairly certain his symbiote was delusional.

‘Maybe I’m not the delusional one, human.’
