05x15 - Summit

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Stargate SG

-1": I promise you his death will ultimatelyprove to be a noble sacrifice.



- Sarah.



- It's good to see you.

I found traces of a foreign chemical onTeal'c's uniform and I've analysed it.

I believe that Lieutenant Tyler, or the ideaof him, is nothing but a chemical implant.

Apparently the one he serveshas no name.

Oh, he has a name.

The likes of you are simplyforbidden to know it.

Your guest has arrived.

(distorted) You're to be congratulated.

My sources have told me that you havemanaged to amass an impressive army, in a relatively short amount of time.

(distorted) I merely took advantageof favourable conditions.

The old order has fallen.

The System Lords are in disarray.

Opportunities exist, but only for thosewho are bold enough to seize them.

What are you proposing?

An alliance?

No.

But I am offering you a position of powerin exchange for your support.

Osiris serves no one.

You least of all.

You once served lsis.

She was my queen.

She served me.

Interesting.

Interesting that you nowchoose a female host.

A most attractive one at that.



- You waste my time.



- You misunderstand.

I'm not asking that you serve me.

I must admit that I'm merely an emissaryfor a much more powerful Goa'uld.

One whom you once knew well.

Of whom do you speak?

Anubis.

(technician)Unauthorised offworld activation.

Receiving IDC transmission, sir.

It's the Tok'ra.



- Open the iris.



- Oh, here we go.



- Ren'al.



- General Hammond.



- This is SG

-1 .



- I am familiar with all your exploits.



- Your father Jacob sends his regards.



- How is he?

On a mission at the moment,which is the reason I am here.

There is a serious situation developingregarding the System Lords.

Briefing room.

It's always su1c1de

-mission this,save

-the

-planet that.

No one ever just stops byto say hi any more.

The deaths of Cronus and Apophiscreated a power vacuum that the other System Lordshave tried to exploit.

Recently they've suffered heavy losses and expended an enormous amount ofresources fighting amongst themselves.



- Let the good times roll.



- They may be coming to an end.

They've declared a truce and nowthey're going to have a meeting to discuss the establishmentof a new order.



- So you want to stop them.



- Quite the opposite, actually.

We want them to meet.

It'll give us the rare opportunityto strike against all of them at once.

You're talking about taking outthe entire Goa'uld leadership?



- We are.



- Welcome to the dark side.

This has always beenpart of our long

-term plan.

We just weren't quite prepared for theopportunity to present itself so quickly.

Where exactly isthis meeting taking place?

At a space station in the Hassara system.

It's considered neutral territory.

Security will be tight.

No weapons will be permitted.

Access will be by cargo ship only.



- Defences?



- Impenetrable.

Could we gain entranceon one of the cargo ships?

They'll be scannedat their approach to the station.

OK.

Let's hear it.

Every System Lord in attendance will bepermitted to bring one human sl*ve.

You want one of us to do it.

Specifically we need someonewho speaks fluent Goa'uld.

Someone who is not Jaffa.

If you agree to participate, we askthat you come to our base tomorrow.

Jacob will be there.

He will tell youall you will need to know.

It is up to you, Dr Jackson.



- Daniel Jackson.



- Yeah.

Have you consideredthe Tok'ra proposal?

Yeah.

If successful, it would dealthe Goa'uld a mortal blow.

Yeah.

I realise what's at stake.

Daniel Jackson, you have stated manytimes that in circumstances such as this you would avoid using such actionif given a better option.

Right.

You think there's a better wayof overthrowing the Goa'uld?

I currently have no plan that wouldaccomplish as much as that of the Tok'ra.

That's why I'm gonna do it.



- Ten hut!

- At ease.



- Major.



- Colonel.

I see you drew the short straw.



- Lieutenant Elliot, your first assignment.



- Yes, ma'am.

Be nice to see a little action for a change.

It's just your basic offworld orientation,Lieutenant.

There is no action.

Maybe not, sir, but I amlooking forward to meeting the Tok'ra.

You'll get over it.

Welcome to Revanna.



- Hi, Dad.



- It's good to see you, Sam.



- Jack, how are you?



- Kinda curious.

Some of you know Aldwin.

He'll conductthe orientation for your new officers.

First, a tour of the facilities.

After that, a lecture on Tok'rainsurgency techniques since the collapse ofthe second Goa'uld dynasty.

I take it all back, Lieutenant.

This could be hot.

Come.

So how are you gonna get me in?

Yu will be among the System Lordsattending the meeting.

I thought you saidhe was going in as a sl*ve.

The System Lord Yu.

Little joke there.

Funny.

Yu knows my face.

He'll recognise me.

He will not.

Ren'al has been working on a versionof the chemical obtained from the Reol.

If you can get close enough to inject him, you'll be able to convince him thatyou are in fact his most trusted Io'taur.

His what?

Lo'taur is the highest rank amongthe human slaves of the System Lords.

They're like personal attendants.

It'sconsidered a position of great honour.

I spent the last two months establishingmyself as a minor Goa'uld in Yu's service.

I'll be able to get Daniel on board hismothership and deal with the loose ends.

What if Nirrti shows up?

She's still a renegade and personanon grata among the System Lords.

None of the other remainingSystem Lords have seen Daniel's face.

Assuming I make it on the space station,what happens next?

You will wait until all the System Lordshave arrived and then you will use this.

These two liquids mixed togetherform a most virulent poison.

Press the button to open the valvebetween the two containers.

The liquid will be vaporised.

Within seconds the pressurewill break the seal on the container and the gas will be released.



- Am I supposed to hold my breath?



- The poison is only deadly to symbiotes.



- Isn't that dangerous?



- More than you know.

There's enough material in that vial to killevery Tok'ra on this base twice over.

(Ren'al) This formula is ourmost closely guarded secret.



- And it doesn't k*ll the host?



- Not the chemical itself.

But, as you know, the dying symbiotereleases its own toxin, which is just as deadly.

Daniel, the human host of a System Lord has been through the sarcophaguscountless times.

We know the toll that takes.

They'rehundreds, maybe thousands of years old.

Never mind the psychological damage, physically, without the Goa'uldsustaining them, they die anyway.



- So we're doing them a favour.



- In many ways, yes.



- How many targets?



- Seven System Lords at the meeting.

That's all the major players.

If we pullthis off, the Goa'uld may never recover.



- What can we do?



- Wait here.

I'll communicate when the missionhas been accomplished.

Jacob! Jacob, wait up.

Why do I think there's somethingyou're not telling us?

Now, come on! You're always saying that every timewe knock off a System Lord a worse one shows up.

Why should this be any different?

Others would eventually rise up, but by taking them all out at oncewe create a power vacuum Ieading to a galaxywide w*r as theremaining Goa'uld jockey for position.

That'll last long enough for usto make a final, decisive move.

Which is?

A wide

-scale att*ck on the entire Goa'uldpopulation, using the symbiote poison.

We're gonna wipe them out, Jack.

All of 'em.

Why have I been enlisted for this task?

Politics have always beenone of your greater skills.

And am I to go alone?

I have my own missionupon which I must embark.

Apparently, the Tok'ra have developeda formidable new w*apon.



- How do you know?



- I captured a Tok'ra spy in my midst.

I doubt very much a Tok'rawould reveal this information, no matter how you tortured him.

You are correct.

But Anubis has methodsthat would impress you.

What are you going to do?

I am going to take this weaponfrom the Tok'ra and destroy them.

So why do the System Lordsneed human attendants?

Well, the Jaffa servea strictly m*llitary function.

Besides, if a System Lord's host is injuredbeyond their symbiote's capacity to heal, it can be pretty usefulto have a human close at hand.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.



- Are you clear on all the System Lords?



- Oh, yeah.

I'm fine.

Good.

We'll be at Yu's home worldin a little over an hour.



- Are you all right, Daniel?



- Oh, yeah.

I'm fine.

I just think some of your detailsare a little, uh sketchy.

Like what?



- We'll use poison to wipe out the Goa'uld.



- Eventually.



- What about the Jaffa?



- Well, that's still a bit of a wrinkle.

Unless we can reverse their biologicaldependency on immature symbiotes, they'll all die as well.

A bit of a wrinkle.

Daniel, the Goa'uld have been spreadingacross the galaxy for thousands of years.

Now they're showing zero populationgrowth.

We're not sure why.

But we intend to takeadvantage of the situation.

We may never geta chance like this again.

Are we good to go?

Yeah.

When the Tok'ra arrive on a planet, wego underground as quickly as possible.

And you actually grow these tunnelsfrom crystals?

Correct.

Crystals are programmed withthe specific layout of a given passageway, allowing us to structurethe tunnel system as we see fit.



- What about ventilation shafts?



- There are none.

If we tunnel through suitable rock such ascalcium carbonate, oxygen is produced.

This gives us enough time to enter thetunnels and set up life

-support systems.



- Colonel.



- Sir.

Gentlemen.

How goes the orientation?

It's very interesting, sir,just as you predicted.

Are you interested in Tok'ra engineering?

Oh, "interested" doesn'tquite describe how I truly feel.

You're welcome to join us.

Thank you, Aldwin, but I have togo help Teal'c wait for Daniel.

Excuse me.

I can get you into Yu's quarters.

Your jobis to get close enough to use this.

All you have to do is prick him once.

The effect will be immediate.

He'll believeyou to be his loyal sl*ve Jarren.



- Jarren?



- Just don't jab yourself with it.



- Why?



- Actually I don't know exactly.

That in itself should scare you.

As you know, we kept the bodyin stasis for several months as we tried to find a wayto repair the damage.

But in the end we were unsuccessful.

All that is left of Martoufnow lives on in Lantash.

What's its condition?

The symbiote is still recuperating, butthe search has begun to find a new host.



- I wanna see the research.



- I'm sorry, Major.

All information about Zatarc technology Can only be released on the authorityof the Council.

I know.

They've been stonewalling mefor months.

I assure you Martouf was in no pain.



- That's not the problem.



- What then?

If the symbiote was alivewhen Martouf came out of stasis, couldn't it have healed his injuries?



- The possibility was remote.



- How remote?

The host was too weak.

In all likelihoodthe symbiote would have d*ed.



- You don't know that.



- We had to choose.



- And naturally you chose the symbiote.



- Your bias toward the host is only natural.

It is better that one should livethan that they both die.

Isn't this really aboutyour Zatarc research?



- I don't understand.



- If Martouf had lived, you couldn't have examined his braintissue.

You'd have learned nothing.

Would you have preferredhis sacrifice to be for nothing?

I would have preferred another way.



- You knew Martouf well?



- Yes.

Well, knowing him as you did, whatchoice do you think he would have made?

Martouf is not entirely gone, Major.

His thoughts and his memorieslive on in Lantash.

Jarren.

My lord does not wishto be disturbed at this time.



- I don't look a thing like this guy.



- For this work you don't have to.

You'll be fine.

Just rememberto pour from the right.

Kel shak Jarren?

Aric kree Onak.

Nis trah Jarren.

I am your loyal servant Jarren.

Rise.

I will have my tea.

(alarm)

- What's goin' on?



- We've received a transmission.

Our sensors have detected a fleetof motherships bound for Revanna.

You must leave immediately.

An incoming wormhole's blockingour escape through the Stargate.

The Goa'uld can only sustaina wormhole for 38 minutes.

The ships will be here before then.

There is no other escape.

Identify yourselves.

I represent the Jade Emperor,the exulted Lord Yu Huang Shang

-Ti.

Two life signs scanned.

No weapons detected.

Lowering shields.

Our fellow System Lordsare not to be trusted.



- Neither are their slaves.



- Understood, my lord.

Do you have any ships available?

A few unarmed cargo ships,but they're on other missions.



- We have begun making new tunnels.



- What good is that gonna do?

Spread out the risk ofgetting hit by an air att*ck.

You could lend us a hand movinglife

-support equipment and supplies.



- Major, lend him a hand.



- Yes, sir.



- What are you doing?



- I'm cutting power to the base.

The energy signature wouldgive away our position.



- They must use random bombardment.



- That's encouraging.

Colonel, the Tok'ra have never hadthe m*llitary resources of the Goa'uld.

We use disguise and subterfuge.

Our bases are designed to be hidden.

We are just not equipped to repulsesuch a large enemy force.

Well, they're not just gonna go away.

I can assure you, Major,if this base is compromised, we will fight untilthe last of us has fallen.

With what?

Zats?



- What else is there?



- Well, you've got that poison.

If it's half as good as you say it is, it couldwipe out any potential ground as*ault.

And risk k*lling every Tok'ra as well?

Hey! We're all gonna dieif we sit around and wait for the att*ck.

Believe me.

If it came down to it,we would sacrifice ourselves, and use the poison on our enemyif we had some.

Unfortunately the only quantity inexistence is in Selmak's possession.

It would take weeks to synthesise more.

Lord Yu Huang Shang

-Ti.

Note them, Jarren.

My future allies.

(Daniel) Bastet, Kali the Destroyer.

They made a treaty with Sobek, thenattacked him in the celebratory feast.

Sobek let his guard down.

Rumour has it his head still decoratesBastet's palace in Bubastis.

You have a good memory.

They are still worthy of my allegiance.

Do not accept gifts from Baal.

They have a habit of exploding, especiallywhen he feels he has been slighted.

He wiped out two star systems,60 million lives, rather than lose them to Sokarin a territorial dispute.

Poor loser.

Do not consort with Morrigan's servant.

He will attempt to draw out strategicinformation in idle conversation.

I know your last servant gave awaythe location of one of your secret bases.

He was k*lled in the surprise att*ck.

It is what has given methe honour to serve you, my lord.

Olokun is still seething overa recent loss to my forces.

He may try to k*ll you out of spite.

Do not make me look foolishby allowing yourself to be m*rder*d.

Yes, my lord.

Yu.

I am pleased you were able to join us,given recent events.

I understand your fleetsuffered some heavy losses.

I am not the only one.

Did I not hear your new flagshipwas destroyed?

I lost 2,000 Jaffa.



- Such is w*r.



- No! This is different.

This enemy att*cks like a coward.

Bastet and Kali have sufferedsimilar setbacks.

They are more frequent, while the identityof our antagonist continues to elude us.

I'm certain you have your suspicions.

We're all suffering at the handsof this unknown adversary.

By shrouding himself,he sows discord amongst us.

Mansfield, it's O'Neill.

Report.

A section of the structure collapsed.

We have some injured Tok'ra here.



- Sir, we got another one.



- Get 'em outta there.

Roger that.

Let's go.

We gotta move.



- Elliot, let's go.



- He's still alive, sir.

Major, what's your situation?

Mansfield, report! The al

-kesh continue to bombthe area around the gate.

No Tok'ra have surfacedand attempted escape.

Escape?

There's no escape.

They hide in their tunnels like rats.

Continue the bombardment.

Prepare your ground troopsfor infiltration.



- Elliot.



- Direct hit, sir.



- Where's the rest of your team?



- They're dead.

Sir, we need to get him to the infirmary.



- The infirmary has been destroyed.



- We'll take them to the lab.

Follow me.

I'm transferring the formulafor the poison to this crystal.

And I'm erasingthe memory of the computer.

We'll die before we give up our secrets.

You know, we really shouldcome up with a new strategy.

One that does not include us dying.

We must know what ishappening on the surface.

We're cut off from the surface sensors.

You must use the secondary ring room.

Show them.

Jacob.

Jacob, are you there?

It's Daniel.



- Daniel, how's it goin'?



- It's kinda like Goa'uldan Mardi Gras.

A shipjust docked,so by my count you got all seven.



- It's time to release the poison.



- We may wanna hold off a while.



- They're expecting someone else.



- Who?

I don't know.

It seems they've gotsome mysterious new adversary.

That's strange.

It's not likea Goa'uld to play it so coy.

I'll see what I can find out.

I'll contact you later.

We have to get him out of here.



- He needs medical attention.



- We've done what we can.



- What about the symbiote?



- Out of the question.

It could save Major Mansfield's life.

The symbiote's life is being sustainedby the chamber.

It can't help your friend.



- We can't just let him die.



- If we implant the symbiote, we k*ll them both.

They appear to be amassing a few troops.

Once the air bombardment exposesthe tunnels, they will infiltrate them.

Carter, come in.

Carter, respond.

Let's get back.

This has gone on long enough.

We must determine who isresponsible for these att*cks.

The coward refuses to show himself.

He only strikes with his ships,never with ground troops.

Have none of you seenthe faces of the enemy Jaffa?

I have.

When my outpost at Ceradorcame under as*ault, my first prime managed to disableand board one of the enemy ships.



- Did you take any prisoners?



- They fought to the death.

Most had been in the serviceof Cronus and Sokar, but one bore the mark of Olokun.

How do you explain this?

One of my mothershipswas surrounded by the enemy.

Instead of dying with honour,the cowards surrendered and were taken.



- They may well have switched allegiance.



- And you expect us to believe this?

I too have sufferedat the hands of this unseen foe.

How dare you accuse me! My lords, the final guest has arrived.

I hope I'm not missing all the fun.



- Welcome, Osiris.



- I thank you for honouring my request.

Normally your petition for a seat herewould not have been considered.

Of course, the current situationis far from normal.

Jarren.

I think you'll find I have much to offer.

Shall we proceed?



- (bleeping)

- What's that?

A warning.

The Jaffahave breached the tunnels.

O'Neill! He is dead.

Lieutenant?

Oh, my God.



- Lantash.



- (distorted) I had no choice.

Elliot?

I'm afraid his injuries are severe.

He has serious internal damage.

It's going to take all my strengthjust to keep him alive.

He will have to speak for both of us.



- Major.



- Elliot.



- It's gonna be OK.



- If you say so.

Believe me, I know.

The symbiote'strying to heal you, OK?

OK.

OK.

Carter?

The ceiling collapsed, sir.

Ren'al and Major Mansfield are dead.

As is Aldwin.

Elliot's in rough shape.

There's a Tok'ra symbiote in him.



- What?



- It feels very weird, sir.

Lantash.

He's keeping him alive.

(bombardment) Let's take our chances on the surface.

Jacob.

What's the delay?

They should all be there now.

Yeah, we got a full house,but there's a complication.

Daniel?



- Sarah's here.

- Sarah You mean Osiris?

Did she recognise you?

I don't know.

I think so, but she didn'ttip her hand and I don't know why.

Daniel Jackson.

You're a rather long wayfrom home, aren't you?

The tunnel's blocked.

Does Lantash know if there'sanother way to the secondary ring room?

There isn't.

Then indeed we are trapped.
