Why this should be read: This is a novel-length story based on what if. What if Jack-and-Kanan escaped Ba'al and went on the run? Jack is, of course, quite whumped, and Daniel's visits aren't helping his sanity at this point. When Jack-and-Kanan meet up with the rest of the Tok'ra, Rydra goes on to portray both Kanan and Jack's relationship and overall Tok'ra culture and politics masterfully. It was an instant classic the moment it was posted.


"Look," he says. "The NID aren't on my Christmas list either, but hey – dead Goa'uld. There's gotta be an upside to that."

Jacob's eyes have narrowed, and he gives a fractional shake of his head. Don't push it, Jack. But it's Selmak who says, "The system lords will not permit such attacks to go unchecked. There is grave danger that they will retaliate."

Nice. Not only do they have rogue NID landing them up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle, but human hosts are meant to be seen and not heard.

Anger at the insinuation, the injustice of it. All symbiotes here have fought the Goa'uld for centuries. It is hardly unreasonable to recognize that they have more experience of strategy than hosts whose experience may be limited to a few decades of subsistence farming.

Better if the host were to relinquish control, allow him to handle this. Yeah, the snake would think that, wouldn't it? He holds on, just to piss it off.
