Summary: A new member
of SG-2 is taken over by and Goa’uld. And the fun ensues.
General Hammond sat in his office, reviewing folders. There was quiet a large stack of file folders, each one
was the military record of some of the people who were chosen to fill the empty position of SG-2. On a recent mission to P3X-403,
Major Penhall was killed by a group of jaffa that had accidentally dialed in and decided to take the planet in the name of
Ba’al.
Hammond decided that SG-2 needed a new leader before their
next mission with SG-1 back to the Alpha Site. There were several competent applicants but one seemed to stand out more than
any of the others.
Her name was Catherine Raven. She was a Major and was working on one of the outer rings of the SGC loop. She
had several years of Black Ops training and a dozen of Black Ops missions. In the Gulf War, she had lead two regiments into
major combat. In ’97, she was brought into the Stargate Program to be a liaison, along with Mj. Davis.
She was scheduled to meet with Hammond today.
He was getting everything ready when an airman opened the door.
“Sir, Mj. Raven is waiting for you.”
“Send her in.”
“Yes, sir.” The airman left and a few moments later a beautiful, young woman, with black hair put
up in a bun and black eyes, dressed in her dressed blues walked in the door. She stood there and waited for Hammond to recognize her. He looked up to see her and stood up.
“Please, sit.” She came over, shook his hand, and sat down. “I have called here to tell you
what I have decided. You know that you are one of multiple people chosen to take the position on SG-2.”
“Yes sir.”
“Well, looking at your excellent credentials, I have chosen to have you fill that position. Your first
mission will be beginning place at 1500 hours tomorrow. You will need to be here and ready at 1400 for briefing. There you
will be learning all that you need to know. Dismissed.”
“Thank you sir.” Catherine stood up, saluted, and walked out the door. She was ecstatic, though
she didn’t want to show it. She just calmly walked to the elevator and went up to the ground level.
This is what was had wanted in the first place, to be on one of the SG teams. She didn’t care which one.
She just wanted to be on one. SG-2, wow! That was a huge step up. So close to SG-1, her role models.
As he got in her car and began to drive home, she began to have
thoughts and ideas of what could happen. She had read many of the mission reports from SG-1. Though she had never ever seen
the Stargate but she had all these fantastic visions of things that would happen on her first mission.
She pulled into her driveway and went into the house. She made herself some dinner and sat down to reread some
of her favorite mission reports. One of her very favorites was one where SG-1 was captured by Anubis, on purpose Jack so casually
added, and Felger and Coombs almost messed it all up.
As she read on, she added elements to her own dream. The read was beginning to make her tired and she fell asleep
on the living room couch.
When she arrived at the base the next morning, she found that she was the only one in the briefing room. No
one else had shown up yet. So she just sat down and waited patiently. Her wait was a long one but she was hyped up she didn’t
care. Hammond was the first to arrive, soon followed by Hanson,
Warren, and Casey.
Then, to her surprise, SG-1 walked through the door. She quickly stood up and at attention. Being somewhat embarrassed,
they asked her to sit.
“Now, I’ve gotten a message from the Alpha Site. They’ve been having some problems with a
couple of “gaterunners”, as they keep saying. These people came from an unknown location and ran around stealing
equipment from the sit, and retreating through the gate. I want you to catch them.”
“Well, General, your wish is our command. Just make sure to pack our lunches. I would like a ham sandwich
in mine, along with a ba-.”
“SGs 1 and 2,
you are good to go.” He cut Jack short; he didn’t want to listen to any of his bullshit. Everyone began to file
out of the room, making their way to the changing rooms to get ready.
After about five minutes, Catherine walked into the gate room to see the gate with an established wormhole and
all of SG-2. They were just waiting on SG-1 to show up.
Their wait wasn’t long. Jack was the first to walk in. He and Daniel were arguing about some useless topic.
Daniel was prodding all the facts and Jack, like normal, was not listening and thinking about something totally different.
Jack led the way, followed by Daniel, still going on; Sam went in, then Teal’c. Catherine led her team
up the ramp and through the gate.
Two days later, SG-1and -2 returned to the SGC. Hammond
was waiting in the gateroom for the first report.
“I trust that everything was taken care of and all of the items taken was returned or recovered.”
“Yes, General. Everything that reported missing has been returned and put back into use.”
“Good, we debrief in half an hour.” Everyone went to their dressing rooms and changed.
After an hour and half of debriefing and putting up with Jack’s bull, Hammond
allowed them to take their leave and go home. Catherine was rounding up her things, as everyone left. Hammond pulled her aside.
“I’m very impressed how you handled yourself. I know that that was your first mission, but you handled
yourself like a trained professional.”
“Thank you sir.”
“That’s why I’ve decided to give you a mission of your own. I’ve already informed the
others. You are to be here tomorrow at 900 hours,”
“Thank you sir.”
“I don’t usually give newbies a command alone this early, but you’ve proved to me that you
can handle it. Dismissed.” He saluted her and she saluted back.
Catherine was ecstatic. She dropped by Hammond’s
office and picked up the briefing file on the mission. She wanted to look inside but she decided to wait until she got home.
The anticipation was enormous but her able to wait. She got in her car and preceded home.
Home wasn’t far so she was there in a matter of minutes. She grabbed her normal Uncle
Ben’s Sweet and Sour Pork bowl, stuck in the microwave, and stuck in some Salt n’ Peppa. After about five minutes,
Catherine sat down with her meal and the mission report.
P4X- 771 was a planet located in the Capricorn arm. No one had been there yet and the planet
was next up on the list of planet addresses Jack had put into the system while he still under Ancient control. Teal’c
said that he had never gone to the planet with Apophis. He had said that few Goa’uld ventured to there, though he didn’t
know why.
It was 11:00 by the time that she was done reading. She took a shower and slipped into
bed. As she rolled over to look at the picture of her father on the night stand, she realized that she was never going to
get any sleep. But she was going to damn well try.
After an hour of lying there, Catherine sat up and looked over at the bathroom. She slid
out of the bed and walked over to the bathroom. She opened up the cabinet and took out a bottle of Perkaset. She popped a
couple of pills in her mouth and went back to bed. In a few minutes, she was asleep.
The alarm went off at 8 sharp. Catherine awoke to see her cat at the base of the bed and
the sun cascading on everything in the room.
She got out of bed and poured herself a bowl of cereal. As she flipped on her computer,
she thought of the coming day. She typed in her email address as she quickly devoured the bowl of Count Chocula.
As she finished, she looked over at the clock. It was already 8:30. She grabbed some and
ran into her bathroom to take a shower. She was covered in sweat from the dream (or nightmare) that she had had the night
before.
About twenty minutes later, Catherine stepped out of the shower. She through on her clothes,
did her hair, grabbed her key and the mission report, and ran out to the car. She arrived at the base and 8:50 and made it
to the briefing room just n time.
Sam was in charge of giving the briefing and Daniel was giving a briefing on the archeological
point of view. Thought absolutely nothing was known about the planet, he was going to give his knowledge on the situation.
Catherine sat there, soaking up all the information like a sponge. Teal’c was also
present, though she had no idea why. He sat at the end of the table, watching contently.
After about a half an hour, Hammond gave the go ahead and SG-2 was allowed to change.
They were anxious, Catherine the most of which, and dressed quickly.
They all met in front of the gate, dressed and ready to go. Hammond, Teal’c Sam,
and Daniel were all in the control room to see them off.
“SG-2, you have a go.” Catherine nodded and walked through, followed by Casey,
Hanson, and Warren.
In a matter of seconds, Catherine stepped through to see a lush area surrounding the gate,
approximately 20 or 25 miles around the gate.
“Alright, spread out. Check for any sign of civilizations. Find out if anything you
can.” Hanson and Warren broke off from the other two and went south. “Casey, you track west. See what you can
find.” As he walked off, Catherine looked off into the east.
With ideas of everything and anything that could happen being conjured up in her mind,
she looked into the forest that seemed to surround everything. She walked through it until she came to a clearing.
There was nothing in the clearing but grass, weeds, and a pool. Catherine raised her weapon
as she walked closer. The pool was a bit murky but she could somewhat to the bottom. There seemed to be fish and a few snakes.
There was nothing there that seemed to be dangerous.
Suddenly, she heard something russell in the woods behind her. She flipped around to see
nothing but the weeds blowing in the light wind.
As she turned around, she saw a Goa’uld symbiote launched right at her throat. It
was too quick and she wasn’t able to fend it off. It punctured her windpipe and attached itself to her brainstem. She
fee to the ground.
Catherine grasped her throat as her eyes glowed. It was no use. The symbiote had control
and there was nothing she could do. But it didn’t take full control and put her into a coma. Major Warren walked into
the clearing and saw her there.
“Casey, Hanson, report to the gate. Dial home and tell General Hammond to get a med
team ready.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Major Raven is unconscious.”
“Gate activated, sir.” Warren
checked for a pulse. There was one but it was weak. He picked her up and began to carry her towards the gate.
When he arrived, there was a medic team waiting with a stretcher. He placed her on the
stretcher and they carried her through.
“What the hell happened?”
“We don’t know, sir. I found her lying by a pool. She was unconscious and she
had this slit in her throat.” He pulled her shirt out of the way and showed him the slit. There was a small stream of
blood flowing from it. A medic quickly covered it with a bandage.
“Oh my god. Get Teal’c in here immediately!” As the airman ran out of
the room, the medics carried Catherine to the elevator.
She was brought into the infirmary and laid on one of the quarantine beds. Dr. Paul quickly
put all of the monitors on and began to check her vitals. Teal’c ran into all of the chaos. He stood near the back of
the room, out of the way, until everything settled down.
“Teal’c, would you please step over here.” Teal’c walked over to
the bed. Catherine lay there, like an angel in solitude. She was in restraints; Hammond
thought it was for the best. “What do you think this is?” He pulled back the shirt revealing the bandage. He took
it off. Teal’c raised his eyebrows when he saw it.
“Have you done an MRI?”
“No, why?”
“You need to get her in there right away.”
“Marks, Fitzgerald, take her down to the lab.” They wheeled her down the hall.
“What do you think it is?”
“I won’t know ‘til I see the MRI.” When the got there Catherine
was in the MRI machine and the other two were setting things up.
After two minutes of scanning the back of her neck and head, they got an image.
“Just as I thought.” There it was, in the exact position they usually were,
the Goa’uld symbiote.
“Is that what I think it is?”
“Yeah, a symbiote.” He picked up the phone. “General Hammond, can you
get down to the med lab immediately?” He looked back at the screen as he hung up the phone. He couldn’t understand
it. The symbiote was obviously had control over her and was mature.
Why did it put her in a coma? Why didn’t it use her body to access the Stargate?
So many questions.
General Hammond walked into the room. He looked like he knew what was going on but he still
had a glimmer of uncertainty.
“Is it what I thought?”
“Yeah. A Goa’uld symbiote. It entered her in the same way that the symbiote
entered Hebron.”
“Why
is she in a coma?”
“I don’t know. It looks like the symbiote has control but isn’t using
it. We’re gonna have to wait until she revises consciousness, if she does.”
“Alright, alert me the moment she’s awake. Until then, keep me posted.”
A he left the room, Teal’c, Paul, Mark, and Fitzgerald wheeled Catherine back into the quarantine room. They set her
up and restrained her.
One by one, the other three left the room. Teal’c was the only one. He pulled up
a chair and sat vigil along side her bed. The wait was to be a long one.
Four days later, Catherine opened her eyes, though they didn’t glow. She tried to
move but was stopped short by the restraints. Teal’c awoke from his nap as she moved around. He ran over and called
Hammond.
Dr. Paul, along with three other orderlies and Sam, came into the room. Hammond wasn’t far behind. They gathered around the bed.
“Who am I talking to?”
“Major Catherine Raven, USAF.”
“Do you know what’s happened to you?”
“The last thing I remember is walking up to a pool, off – world, I turned around,
and there was a Goa’uld symbiote leaping for my throat. There was pain and then nothing but blackness.”
“Major, you have a symbiote located on your spine. As of yet, we’re not sure
why it put you in a coma or why it hasn’t taken over. We have you in restraints in case it becomes in control. Until
we are certain of things at hand, you’ll remain here.”
“Major Carter, I can assure you that I am in complete control.”
“We’ve the Goa’uld pull this stunt before and we just don’t want
to take any chances.”
“Teal’c’s right, Major.” Catherine couldn’t believe what
she was hearing. Forced to stay in a bed, not being able to go anywhere. She just shook her head. “There always will
be a guard posted outside, if you need anything.” Oh, yeah, that made her feel so much better.
“Thank you, General.”
“Major Carter, do you think that you could find something out?”
“Possibly.”
“Alright, keep me in the know. Major Raven, I’ll check in from time to time.”
He whispered something to Dr. Paul and then left the room. The orderlies left not long after.
Catherine didn’t know what to do. She wasn’t allowed to do anything. Well,
at least Teal’c was there.
“Teal’c?”
“Yeah?”
“How long was I out?”
“From the time you were brought through the gate, about five days. Before that, I’m
not sure.”
“Tell me about the Goa’uld. You know much more about the subject.” As
Teal’c began to talk, Catherine began to become drowsy. It wasn’t that he was boring her, far from it. All of
the excitement, though there wasn’t much, was wearing her down.
She was asleep in a matter of minutes. Teal’c smiled and began to stoke her hair,
after he realized he realized she was asleep. He sat there, watching her sleep until he couldn’t stay awake any longer.
He slipped away so that he could catch a nap. Not long after he left, Catherine awoke.
“Airmen, can you come over her please?” The walked over to the bed.
“What is it Major?”
“I need to go to the bathroom. Would you be so kind as to let me go so that I may
go?” One looked over at the other. The unlocked all of her restraints and led her to the bathroom.
As they led her down any empty corridor, she elbowed one of the guards in the nose and
kneed the other in the groin. She grabbed one of their zat’nik’ktels, shot them both, and made for the elevator.
She got to level 28. As she made her way to the control room, she shot everyone in her
path.
“You, activate the gate. Dial P3X-296.” She pointed the zat at Master Sergeant
Davis. He began to dial as the siren went off. “Shut off the gateroom. Do not allow anyone on this level.” The
doors closed and the elevator stopped. She grabbed SG-2’s GDO.
The gate established an outgoing wormhole. Catherine’s eyes glowed as she shot Davis.
She ran down to the gateroom. She made her way up the ramp as Hammond,
SG-1, and six other airmen appeared in the control room.
“Shut that gate down!” She disappeared through it before they could disconnect
the wormhole. She reappeared back on the planet. She smelled the air as she walked off the steps.
“Ah, it is good to finally smell the air of the planet where I have been restricted
to for so long.” Her voice was that of the typical Goa’uld. It was now in complete control.
She walked over to one of the trees and took out two things. One was a ribbon devise and
the other was a Goa’uld Long Range Communication Devise. She placed the device in her hand and held up the sphere. An
image of Tanith appeared on it.
“Yes.”
“Tanith, it is I, Isis. I have taken a new host and I am in need of your help.”
“And why should I help you?”
“Because I can bring more jaffa under you control and add more ships to your armada.
And I devote my loyalty to you. I know that Anubis and Apophis are both dead and that you are presumed dead by the Tau’ri
and the System Lords. Perhaps you, yourself, with my help, could become a System Lord.” The seed was planted in his
head.
“Alright, I will send an al’kesh to pick you up. It may take a few days for
it to arrive, thought. Report to me as soon as you arrive.” She bowed her head and the sphere returned to normal.
She found a place in the shade, near the pool, and just decided to wait.
About twelve hours later, Isis looked up to see an al’kesh
fly over. Apparently, they weren’t able to see her. She walked out from under the tree to a clearing, where they could
see her and easily pick her up.
They flew over and rung her aboard. There were two jaffa manning the helm, four in the
canon room, and two were standing there waiting for her.
“Lord Tanith awaits to hear word from you and thanks you for your allegiance. There
is a change of clothes in your quarters on deck one. You may also find a communication sphere there. There is a sarcophagus
should you need to rest.”
“Where exactly is your master?”
“He is on Tasherit. I am not permitted to say anything else. We will be stationed
on this level if you should need anything.” She waved them off and proceeded to deck one.
Everything was where the jaffa said. She slipped out of the hospital gown that they had
dressed her in and slipped into a silver belt that had gold circlets around it. There were two pieces of black silk, which
hung down between her legs in the front and down her butt in the back, attached to the belt. There were two cuff anklets,
which she wrapped around her ankles, and two pairs of cuffs, one which she snapped around her wrists and the other she snapped
around her upper arms.
There was also a breast piece. It was one solid piece of silver, which hinged under her
arms. There were a pair of wings that covered the nipples and connected and attached in her cleavage. It held her breasts
firm, covered, and in place. She had a little trouble getting it on but, once it was on, it felt snug and secure.
A beautiful collar made of silver, gold, lapis lazuli, garnet, and turquoise along with
a diadem, made of solid god, were also lying on top of the sarcophagus. She put both of these on.
There was one last thing to put on. It was a silver ring that had a solid piece of lapis
lazuli held on it. Inscribed on the lapis were the names of Isis and Tanith, side by side, marking their alliance and their
marriage, in sorts. Tanith would have one himself, no doubt. She slipped it on as she let out a large sigh.
“That feels so much better. Now,” She picked up the communication sphere, “down
to business” Tanith appeared on it.
“It is good to see that my jaffa found you and that you are safe.”
“Thank you for the clothing and jewelry that you have sent.”
“The two jaffa that met you in the ring room will bring you to me when you arrive.”
“Until then…” Tanith bowed his head and the sphere returned to normal.
“Jaffa kree leaa renec!” The two jaffa walked
into the room. “I want you to awake me the moment that we reach Tasherit.”
“Yes, my Lady.”
“Now, leave me.” They bowed and left. She opened the sarcophagus and climbed
in. As it closed, she closed her eyes and prayed for a quick journey.
Isis opened her eyes to see one of
the jaffa looking over her.
“Lady, we are here.” She sat up and climbed out of the sarcophagus. She walked
down to the peltak. They were, indeed, there.
The jaffa led her out of the al’kesh and into the ha’tak. They rung to another
level and preceded onto where Tanith was. The jaffa stopped at one of the closed doors in the hallway.
“Our master is here. He wants only to see you. We will be out here.” They opened
the door and Isis stepped into the room. She looked around. There were two chairs that resembled
thrones, one larger then the other. Around those were several tables, each piled high with different offerings, which included
incense, candles, fruit, vegetables, wine, and meat. Incense of all different scents danced around the room and enticed her
senses.
There were statues all around the room of different deities from different pantheons. On
each of the walls there were paintings and inscriptions portraying dozens of servants bringing hundreds upon hundreds of offerings
before the table of Tanith.
She sat down in the larger of the two thrones. No one was there, but she knew she had better
wait.
“That is my throne. Yours is the one next to it. I want you to rule by my side. Not
only can you add jaffa and ships to my fleet, but, whether you know it or not, you are a queen. You can produce a new batch
of larvae, so that we may bring more under our control, whether by servants or by servants.” He also had the same gold/lapis
ring she did.
“And if I refuse?”
“I do not know why you would want to. I can give you anything your heart desires.
And, if you do not, then I will kill you and your host. But I am sure that it will not come to that.”
“I am sure it will not. I know that two symbiotes are unable to produce any other
larvae. So how am I to produce a batch?”
“I will give you the chose out of all of my human slaves, even my lo’taur,
of which you would want to take to your bed. Then you may choose your own lo’taur. I have an entire floor prepared for
you. Anything you could want.”
“I will do this. You said that you would give me anything I want, correct?”
“Correct. What is it that you want?”
“What I want is you. Am I permitted to have that?”
“Jaffa, kree!”
The two that were standing at the door came into the room.
“Yes, master?”
“Take your Lady to my chambers,” he looked over at Isis,
“I will be there in a few moments. Provide her with anything she could possibly want.”
“Yes.”
“Go with them. Ta’nak and An’tor are your personal ante rage now. Should
you need anything, they are at your service.” Tanith left the room. Isis and the jaffa
began to walk to the rings. They rung up to level four.
“My Lady, we are not permitted to go any further. The room is on the right hand side,
near the end of the hall.”
“Alright, I will send for you when needed.” The jaffa bowed and initiated the
rings. After they were gone, Isis went down to the room.
The room was fairly large. On every wall, there were paintings of different Gods and Goddesses,
though they were lacking of inscriptions. There was a king size bed, covered in black silk sheets Two nightstands stood on
either side of the bed. There wasn’t much else in the room.
She took off her belt, breast piece, diadem, and placed them on the floor. As she slipped
between the silk sheets, she thought of everything that she would do to him.
Tanith opened the door and saw her lying on the bed in a rather sensuous and sexy position.
He closed the door and walked over the end of the bed.
“Are you certain of what you want?”
“Never have I been more certain. It has been a long time since I have known another’s
touch.” Tanith smiled and took off his clothes. He slipped between the sheets with her.
“You have chosen a very beautiful host. Of all of the specimens I have seen, she
stands out among them.” He cupped her jaw in his hand and kissed her. He continued down her throat to her breasts. It
was there that he noticed something. “What is this?”
“A birthmark. My host had it when I took her. It is very strange. The shape of the
mark looks like that of a symbiote or that of a mystical dragon.”
“Then that means that she was destined to become a host.”
“Yes, I have the knowledge of others that have come before. They also bear the symbol
of the winged serpent.” Tanith smiled and continued to kiss her breasts. He kissed down her stomach to her navel.
He kissed around it and probed his tongue in and out of it. As her massaged her breasts,
he kissed down to her nether lips. She moaned softly. He sucked her clit as he probed his fingers around in her.
She whined for him to stop but that only made him continue on with a faster pace. He sucked
her harder until she was so close to the brink of explosion.
He quickened the pace and she cam, screaming his name. She smiled and sat up. She kissed
while forcing him on his back. She smiled and slipped underneath the covers.
She found her way down to the line of hairs that lead to his already erect shaft. He closed
his eyes and moaned somewhat loudly.
She twisted her tongue around his smooth shaft and engulfed it. He groaned as she did unimaginable
things with her moist mouth. Finally, as she tightened her lips, he was on the verge of cumming. But before he could, she
withdrew and continued with her hands. He squealed with pleasure as he erupted all over her hands.
Isis stuck her head out from under the covers. She had the most vicious smile on her face.
“You are quiet good with your mouth.”
“More skilled then you know.” He sat up and kissed her. He flipped her over
on her back. As he nibbled on her neck, he slowly slipped into her, like a glove. She moaned quiet loudly.
He stared to pump somewhat slowly and gradually increased the pace. They squealed, groaned,
moaned, and sweated. He pumped harder and harder. Their bodies became a sweaty mass of flesh.
Tanith was the first to cum. He kept pumping until she could bear it no longer. She screamed
as he kissed down her throat. He rolled over next to her. She curled up underneath his arm. Each felt like they were unable
to move. But Isis looked up at him.
“I need to return to my sarcophagus. I have not been able to properly rest for sometime.
I wish to see you again later.”
“I will miss seeing you. But go, I know it has been long. I will see you. Find me
when you awaken.” They kissed; she slipped out of bed, and got dressed. He sat there and admired her as she dressed.
After she was dressed, she went back to the rings and rung down to the peltak. Her two
jaffa were there, looking as though they were waiting for her.
“Jaffa, I want you
two to escort me to my level five.”
“My Lady, our Lord has commanded that twenty other assist you. We are all at your
command.”
“Alright, I want all of you to come with me.” Isis,
along with her two personal jaffa, rung to the fifth level of the ha’tak. Ten more followed, one after the next. They
proceeded to her private quarters. “I want all of you stationed around the level. Ta’nak and An’tor, you
will personally guard me.” She closed the doors, as the two positioned themselves in front of her doors, and she slid
into the sarcophagus.
Isis awoke almost a week and a half
later. She opened the sarcophagus and walked to the alter, which was sitting in front of the sarcophagus. There were piles
of meat and fruit. The fragrance of incense saturated the air. She ate some of the fruit and bits of the meat. She stepped
out of the door to see Ta’nak and An’tor standing at their posts by the door.
“My Lady, our Lord has asked for you to return to his quarters.” Isis nodded her head and proceeded to the rings. She rung up to his level and went to his room.
He was sitting on the end of the bed. There were a number of objects lying beside him.
She came over and stood in front of him.
“My dear, I want you to take a test for me. It is unnatural for one to stay in the
sarcophagus for so long, even f it has been a while.” He handed her a small cup. “Please.” She went into
one of the adjacent rooms and, a few moments later, she emerged with the cup, filled with urine. She, then, took a spoon,
scooped a bit out and put it on a seed that was lying out on a piece of paper.
They waited for about ten minutes, until; finally, the seed began to sprout. It was just
a small, white sprout but a sprout none the less.
“Just as I thought.”
“What is it?”
“My dear, you are pregnant.”
“Well, now you have more of a reason to help me.”
“I have announced a banquet, where I will show to them my new queen. Will you be
there at my side?” He offered his hand to her. She smiled and slipped her hand in his. “Here is the ceremonial
garb that I would like for you to wear. I will be dressing later. Please return to your room, when finished, your jaffa will
take you to the ceremonial hall.” He kissed her and left the room.
Isis looked at the dress. She rubbed
her stomach and felt a sense of joy. She started with the gold string belt. She slipped it over her thighs and ass. There
were two strips of red silk velvet. She strung them over the front and back of the belt. There was also a red sash, which
she firmly tied under her breasts.
Under all of it, there was another solid gold diadem, but this one had two raised ureaui;
one had the red crown of Lower Egypt and the other had the white crown of Upper Egypt. She
put it on and rung down to her level.
Ta’nak and An’tor were waiting for her there. All three rung to another level.
There were hundreds of people there, including priests, priestess, jaffa, lower servants, and regular people. Isis
and her two jaffa stayed in the back where they couldn’t see them.
Tanith walked in. He was wearing a long black robe with a red sash tied around his waist.
The robe had a hood on it and he wore a pendent of a bull around his neck. He stood in front of his throne.
“Populace, you have served me well. I am grateful for that. You know that I am your
god.”
“Strong bull, fitting of created forms, dynamic of laws, he who calms the lands,
he who drives down his enemies, greatest of all gods, may he live forever and ever into eternity!”
“It is now time for you god to take a consort and goddess. My goddess!” Isis walked up to in front of her throne. The people gasped at her beauty. They began to clap and cheer.
Tanith, once again, offered his hand to her and she took it, as they sat down. “My goddess is with child. She is to
bear a divine child, my child!” They cheered. “So eat, be merry, and rejoice in the freedom that your god has
bestowed on you.” Tanith smiled and the people cheered.
The celebration was a long one. It carried on for many hours and into the night. Finally,
Tanith stood up. The populace fell silent.
“I and my goddess must take our leave. Continue to celebrate. Rejoice!”
“Our god and goddess! May you live forever and ever into eternity!” Tanith
and Isis stood up and walked out. They rung up to his level.
“I am due for a rest n the sarcophagus. I have been away from it longer then I should
be. I suggest that you go to rest as well. We can not risk the child.” He rubbed her stomach.
“Yes.” They kissed and he went into his own room. She rung up to her room.
Both of her two main jaffa were waiting for her.
“I am going to rest.”
“We will guard you with our lives.” She nodded and went into her chambers.
Isis opened her eyes to see Tanith
standing looking down at her.
“It is good to see your face.”
“And yours.” He offered her his hand and stepped out.
“We have food in the grand room, if you desire.”
“Yes, very much so. They both walked to the ring transport and went down to the room
they were in the night before. There were hundreds of varieties of food, ranging from meat of every animal to any sort of
vegetable and fruit that existed. Isis was somewhat surprised.
She gathered together several different items on her plate and sat down at the table on
the far end of the room. Tanith had his seat next to her. They sat there in silence for a while, until Tanith spoke up.
“My Lady, you know that I love you and you know that the baby that you carry is one
of the most important things in my life.”
“What is it that you want?”
“I want you to go to Ba’al for me. I want to ally myself. Now that he has absorbed
Anubis’ armies and territories into his own, he is a viable enemy. With him as an ally and you, pregnant with our child,
as my queen, you and I are virtually free of harm. I will serve under him, as I did Apophis, until I can become System Lord
and a rival threat.”
“Besides your service, what else will you offer him for his protection?”
“Symbiotes. Your symbiotes. After the child is born, you will produce a living batch
for me, while I will, in turn, offer to him.”
“It will not be long before I must go into hibernation so that my host may be able
to carry to term. After I have awakened, it will sometime before I am able to produce any children.”
“Until that time, we shall make an agreement. Will you do this for me?’
“Yes, I will do this.”
“Good. Your ha’tak leaves tomorrow. I want this deal permanent as soon as possible.
You may take with you as many jaffa as need be. I suggest that you take many, so as to not endanger the baby.” She finished
eating and stood up to leave.
“I will go rest now. The journey will weaken me and I am tired. Awake me when the
ha’tak is ready.” They kissed and she left. In a few minutes, she was standing outside of her chambers. Ta’nak
and An’tor were awaiting her there.
“There will be someone coming up when my ha’tak is ready. I want you to awake
me when they arrive.”
“Yes, my queen.” She closed the door and headed over to the sarcophagus. She
tried to recount the memories of Ba’al from Catherine, for she knew much of the System Lord.
After a couple of minutes of trying, she decided to try after she had awakened. She opened
the sarcophagus and climbed in. She let her mind go as the doors closed.
An’tor opened the doors of the sarcophagus. Isis’
eyes opened to see him standing there.
“My queen, your ha’tak is ready and Lord Ba’al waits.” Isis climbed out and followed him to the rings. Ta’nak was standing in the transport. They all
rung up to the peltak of the ha’tak. Once they hit open space, the hyperdrive opened and hyperspace window.
The journey would take several hours. Isis decided to
slip into the sarcophagus that was on broad.
The ha’tak entered obit, after six hours of flight, above Hadad. Isis
was awoken and preceded down to the planet with Ta’nak and An’tor. They all rung down to the main room of Ba’al’s
central palace. He was there, waiting for her. He was talking with his lo’taur and First Prime. When he saw her ring
in, he sent them and her two jaffa away. He then motioned for her to come forward.
“I am here on behalf of Tanith. He wishes to ally himself with you.”
“What is it that he has to offer me for my services?”
“His allegiance and symbiotes.”
“Where is he receiving live symbiotes?”
“From me.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the Great Queen Isis.”
“How is it that you were able to release for the containment vessel?”
”When I heard that Seth was on the rampage, looking to shut us away, my lo’taur
help spirit me out of the city and into the desert. I was able to find another symbiote to implant into my host while I was
implanted into another. My host was captured and the symbiote was withdrawn and put in the containment jar. I was able to
suppress myself enough that my host was allowed through the chapaa’ai, undetected. I went to one of the abandoned planets
and waited for my chance to take a viable host, for mine was dying. I did my best to keep him alive but was unable. I decided
to hibernate. I left my host to die and went into hibernation, until I was awoken by my current host.”
“You did choose quiet well. She is very beautiful. Isis
bowed her head in thanks. “Well, I shall accept his offer for an alliance in exchange for his allegiance and your symbiotes.
But I am not completely satisfied with these.” He stood up and walked down to her. He put his hand on her cheek and
looked into her eyes.
“What exactly is it that you would like?”
“The beauty of your host has quickened my heart.” He stroked her hair. “Would
you permit me to partake in it?” She did
