  Preface

  These chapters were written during Seasons 7-10 of Stargate: SG-1. Because of this, some aspects of the story, such as same-sex marriage, are not yet legal. Please overlook these aspects; if I changed it now, a lot more would have to be changed.

  This is fan-fiction. The characters of Stargate, and the alternate universe of Stargate do not belong to me, I’m only borrowing them. The Anunnaki belong to themselves, but I borrowed them, too; so far, they haven’t complained. The rest of the characters are mine. I also made up my own original First Flight astronauts, instead of using the real ones. This is not a slight against our heroes, only respect to not use them in a fictional situation.

  This story follows our SG-1 team on continuing adventures of life, love, and their irritation of a certain Goa’uld. This story contains pairings of straight and gay partners, as well as our threesome of Jack/Sam/Daniel, so if you are easily offended, don’t read this. If you are under age, you’ve been warned: I don’t want to hear from your mama about this. The smut has been removed in this version, as well as a few other scenes changed and added.

  There’s a lot of gay talk in this mainly because, at the time this was written, there was a lot of coverage in the news about gays in the military, as well as religion being forced onto military personnel, and problems at the Air Force Academy, so there’s a great deal of commentary on these subjects. I’m giving my own two-cents on those subjects.

  Note: There are a few lyrics in this, so thanks to Shinedown and John Hiatt. Information was borrowed from the United Nations website. There are probably a few others I need to mention, but for the life of me, I can’t think of them.

  Writers need love, too, so feel free to drop me an email at michele.briere@gmail.com!

  There is more to be found at my website, www.michelebriere.com including The Gatekeepers, an original, on-going story, a fun, light-hearted space opera.

  “Thanatos, the Greek god of death,” Daniel told him over the phone. “Natural death, not the disease and destruction kind. His sisters took care of that part. He was ruthless but never savage about it, he was a gentleman doing a job. Everyone has to die at some point, and when the Fates cut a life cord off the web of life, Thanatos was there to take the person away from their mortal pain and deliver them to the afterlife in Hades. He’s actually there?”

  “Well, a Goa’uld claiming to be him is here,” Jack said. “Says he’s the eldest son of Zimrah. Whatever that means.”

  “Wow, Jack, if he is, it means he’s probably older than Anubis. Where’s he been?”

  “Don’t know where. I wanted to check in with you before proceeding. Get a rundown of his persona. I’ll fill you in later.”

  When Jack called up to the Heaven’s Bow and told Camulus who was calling on them, Camulus was speechless.

  “I cannot vouch for him,” Camulus said after considering the new information. “I never knew him, and I don’t know where he’s been or what he’s been doing. But if he has come alone, unarmed, I would take that to mean he’s interested in negotiating.”

  Jack had requested that Ereshkigal be brought in on the proceedings, but she wasn’t on the ship; she was on Abydos with Enki, doing something Inanna didn’t want to discuss. Daniel posited that if Enki was setting the life cycle of the planet, Ereshkigal was setting the death cycle. Jack didn’t get it, but it made
sense to Daniel. He set himself a mental reminder to ask Daniel exactly what Enki was doing with the barren planet.

  “Soooo… how’ve you been?” Jack asked when he returned to the room. “Where’ve you been? What’s new?”

  The side of his mouth twitched. “I have been in a neighboring galaxy,” Thanatos said. “Several of us live there. We have intelligence within this galaxy, and when we heard that you were looking for us, and after learning what has been happening here, we decided to contact you. We have no interest in ruling here; we have plenty of worlds at home.”

  “No sibling rivalries?” Jack asked. “No ‘he who dies with the most slaves wins’?”

  “No,” Thanatos chuckled. “We argue once in a while, but we are not as hot headed as Mirin’s children. We did bring a few Tau’ri with us when we left, but most of our people are non-human. Maybe five billion in our galaxy are human. Less than the current population of your planet. As for slaves, we do have slaves and they serve us willingly. An unwilling slave is not much fun. My control issue is not all-consuming.”

  Jack raised an eyebrow. The god of death had a sense of humor.

  “Camulus is on Inanna’s ship,” he told the Goa’uld. “Says he’s also a child of Zimrah.”

  “I never met him, but I have heard of him; he is many generations after mine,” Thanatos said with a nod. “I would be happy to meet him when we are done. O’Neill, we are impressed with how you have dealt with Mirin’s children. They have been a burden to your galaxy, to be sure. It was my decision to leave this galaxy; if any of us had thought your people would come so far, we would have stayed and fought for you. On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I offer you my sincerest apologies for the pain you have endured.”

  Jack looked around the table. All his people were as nonplussed as he was. The Goa’uld actually sounded sincere. Inanna and Ninurta were reserving their opinions. They weren’t searching for weapons, though, so Jack stayed relatively relaxed.

  “I will send word out to our brethren here, and tell them it is time to come forward and….”

  “Aaah!” Jack shuddered. Reynolds and Bosco shuddered, too. “Use another phrase, please.”

  “Ask Thor,” Inanna spoke with him. She smirked at him, and then got to the big question out of the way. “Thanatos, are you going to help get rid of Baal?” They could handle the remaining System Lords, but this one required special handling.

  “Do you need help, Ningal?” he asked, cocking his head. “The Tau’ri have come so far on their own, defeated Anubis and Ra, among others. Baal is the cleverest of those remaining, which is the only reason he has lived so long, but he was never the strongest.”

  “Well, he’s strong now,” Jack said. “He has Anubis’ toy-box and he’s up to something.”

  “Yes, rumor has it he’s after Enlil,” Thanatos commented, stroking his trimmed mustache thoughtfully. He wore a couple of rings, and, like his robes, they were nothing ostentatious. “I’m not sure why, however. No offense, Ningal, but Enlil was never the brightest of your line.” Jack raised an eyebrow at the strange phrase.

  “Are you aware of our own recent history?” Ninurta asked. He gave Thanatos a brief summary. “We’ve been trying to figure out an anomaly; how did our two ships get stuck out of phase and how did a quarter mile of land get caught with us? I don’t suppose you’d have a clue? Not even the Asgard have figured it out.”

  Thanatos shook his head after thinking about it, eyes searching inward for information. “It almost sounds like a power surge back-lashed and then looped in on itself.”

  Ninurta looked at Inanna and hit a crystal on his controls. He beamed out.

  “Sooo… why exactly are you paying us a visit if you’re not here to help with the Baal problem?” Jack asked, leaning forward to play with a pen.

  “I didn’t say we weren’t going to help,” Thanatos said. “I asked if you needed help. After seeing what you have accomplished for yourselves, I don’t think you need anyone’s help. You have ships, you have Asgard technology, and you have strong allies. I understand why the Asgard have been nurturing the Tau’ri, I know you are targeted as the possible Fifth Race, and upon learning of the devastation you have brought upon the Goa’uld over the past few years, I agree with the Asgard. I will not assist you in your growth, but I offer myself as an ally. I have brought naquadah as an offering of good will. Enough to build three more ships.”

  Tau’ri looked at each other. A certain blond colonel was going to go into raptures. Jack and Daniel would never see her. Maybe he shouldn’t accept the gift.

  “And what do you want in return?” Jack asked.

  “Nothing,” Thanatos said. “We have established our own lives and we are content. We do have a plague happening on one of our planets, perhaps one of your scientists can look at the data. Millions of lives have been lost over the past year, and we are most saddened by it; I admit that the people of that world are among my favorites, the Ras. They are of equine descent with a few differences from Tau’ri horses. My personal steward at home is a Ras, they are most pleasant company. I miss the seafood here, Jack; maybe we can harvest some specimens and get them established on one of our water worlds.”

  Jack called the commissary, ordered lobster for lunch and to send a 302 to Alaska if they needed to. He then pressed the intercom to the control booth and asked Walter to call Thor. And Malek. This had to be the strangest meeting he had ever had with a snake.

  “Tell me something,” Jack said. “Why are the children of Mirin so different from you and Aegiria’s kids?”

  “Aegiria? Is she still around?” Thanatos asked, startled. Both dark eyebrows almost disappeared into the widow-peak hairline.

  “No, she’s dead, but a few of her off-spring are around.”

  “What do you know about our queens?” Thanatos asked, leaning forward, tips of his fingers tapping against each other.

  “Not much.”

  Thanatos nodded. “Our race name is… was… unpronounceable in most spoken languages, but it translates as ‘ripple in the water.’ ‘Asura’ is about as close as you’ll get. The name ‘Goa’uld’ is Mirin’s chosen family name. Aegiria didn’t have much of an imagination; she changed her house name to Tok’ra after Mirin established herself in Egypt. She really hated Ra. Zimrah called us Masharu.

  “From the beginning: On our home world, between disease and warfare, barely a fraction of the race was still alive. Hosts were sometimes taken from the land inhabitants who were barely sentient, and when the chaapa’i was used by an unknown race coming in to explore, the six main houses gathered escorts and each sent one queen off-world using the unknown race as hosts. When the race discovered the ‘infestation,’ there was a battle for possession. Aegiria and Zimrah reasoned with their hosts, gave their hosts control of the body, if only they could come along and find a new home. Two queens, Eiley and Neysa, died at the hands of the host race.

  “One of the worlds that the Asura explored through their new hosts contained an ancient outpost from an unknown race obviously technologically advanced. Of course, we now know of them as the Ancients. A hidden compound was discovered under the outpost, containing ships. Vigdiss learned to use the ships while Mirin gated to a world that contained a few million inhabitants. This world. Inanna’s people weren’t noticed until Vigdiss arrived with the ships. I don’t know how the ships got in under Inanna’s attention, but they apparently did.”

  “I think that was when we were busy with nomadic invasions from the East and North,” Inanna commented. “I refused to allow the locals to use our technology, so we were doing things the hard way. We weren’t expecting ships, so we weren’t watching for them. My bad.”

  Thanatos puzzled that one for a moment and then gave a nod. Jack was pretty sure the lady had been watching too many Earth movies.

  “Once the landing sites began to go up, Mirin and Vigdiss’ troops took slaves back through the chaapa’i to Dakkara, where the spawning vats were, and made hosts of chosen slaves. Th
e First Primes were born. They came back to Tau’ri, and the new hosts were put in charge of the populous.

  “One of the toys found on Dakkara was a device that was probably meant for healing. I think it was meant to be an experimental device that was abandoned because the side-effects of the thing were very bad. The inventors should have destroyed it. Telchak took it, though, and played around with it. He managed to rig it to a sarcophagus and Asura began using it. He was a healer; he did have the good of the person in mind, he didn’t know this thing was going to have a negative effect. Anubis was greedy, though, and tried to take the original device. Telchak hid it somewhere.

  “The physical renewals of Asura convinced the slaves that the Asura were indeed gods. Neither Zimrah nor Aegiria liked what they saw happening, however, and used it sparingly. When they could, they each took a compliment of slaves and went to find another home on the Northern continent, where Asura had not yet gone. There were a few tribes there, very primitive, so Zimrah and Aegiria were seen as gods. We stayed on that continent almost a thousand years before Ra went overboard and his slaves began their rebellion. We left and Zimrah headed up and out of this galaxy. I’m not sure where Aegiria ended up. I only know what Zimrah told us, I don’t know any further history from here except what comes to us. I have learned that a few of Ra’s siblings stayed on this world, hidden.”

  Jack was glad there were cameras recording all over the base, because he knew he’d want to hear that monologue again.

  “Hathor, Isis, Osiris, Set, and Horus were around for a while,” Jack said. “They’re all dead, now. Set was the only one actually up and about, the others were canned. Hathor and Osiris were freed a few years ago, since killed, the others died in stasis.”

  Thanatos sat forward, frowning as he thought. “Really. Two queens, two kings, and the chief watchdog were left here in hiding. Interesting. Hathor was Mirin and Isis was Vigdiss. I must be missing something in the history.”

  “Don’t know about that, but Hathor tried to take over this base,” Jack said. “Tried to make a friend of mine her new king, and then took me. I’m not too happy with snakes.”
