Entering seeing a death glider trying to escape firing from a mother
ship. The mother ship explodes and the glider starts coming down to
the planet – damaged. Hard landing.
People below run over to investigate and to help with weapons in
hand. The hood to the glider is open. Person still alive, and inside.
Person looks up and we see it to be Skarra/Klorel.
Skarra: Please, help me!
People look confused as to what to do.
Opening credits – dum, dum, dum…
Scene: Gate room to control. Gate is active and the iris is closed.
SG-1 come into control room where Hammond is looking at the iris.
Technician: Still no incoming signal, Sir.
Hammond: All units are Earth site.
Iris starts going all weirdish and moving.
Daniel: Is it my eyes or does the iris look a little…
Sam: It's loosing integrity.
They wait for a little while longer and a cat comes right through the
closed iris.
Sam: Hold fire!
Sam runs into the gate room and picks up the cat. She starts petting
it.
Sam: It's Schrodinger. The cat I gave to the Tollan Narim.
Jack: Cat.
Teal'c: The Tollan possesses technology to walk through solid matter.
Jack: A technology that if you all recall they refuse to share… with
us.
Narim comes through the iris.
Narim: General Hammond I am unfamiliar with Earth protocol in these
matters. I sent Schrodinger so you would know a friend was coming.
Hammond: It's all right, Narim. The Tollan are welcome here. Units
stand down.
Hammond, Daniel, Jack, Teal'c head to the gate room.
Narim: Samantha. It's good to see you again.
Sam: It's good to see you too.
Hammond: What can we do for you Narim?
Narim: I am here to deliver a message from our highest governing
body. Colonel O'Neill. The Tollan Curia requests the presence of you
and your team for Triad.
Narim hands Jack a weird looking device.
Jack: I feel like I'm being served.
Scene: Briefing room…
Jack is looking at the device. Everyone is sitting, except for Narim
Jack: So what exactly is this Triad?
Narim: It is an ancient ceremony of justice. Quite honorable.
Daniel: So it's kinda like a tri-al.
Narim: I am not familiar with trial.
Daniel: Trial. It's kinda like a tribunal. A place where matters of
justice and law are decided.
Narim: (nodding) Then yes. A Triad is similar to you trial.
Jack: So, who's on trial?
Daniel: ad.
Jack: Triad…al?
Narim: The decision that the triad must decide is of a great concern
to an old friend of yours. An Abydoian by the name of Skarra.
Daniel: What?
Narim: It is he who has requested your presence.
Daniel: He's alive, he's okay?
Narim: He is well. But he does need your help for Triad.
Jack: Where's this taking place?
Narim: Our destination is the new home world, Tollana.
Sam: But we sent you to the Now planet. There wasn't a gate on
Tollana.
Narim: The Nox and the Tollan devised a way to get us there.
Jack: Of course you were.
Daniel: Way smarter then we are…
Scene: Tollana – Just arrived.
They all look at the Stargate.
Jack: Very nice.
Sam: So, you built that… Stargate?
Narim: Yes.
Daniel: Way smarter then we are…
They start walking away
Jack: Our is bigger…
They walk for a while and finally get into a building and pass
machines that are on the wall that make noises and flashy stuff. They
stop in confusion.
Daniel: What just happened?
Narim: Your weapons have been disabled.
Jack: What?
They try to get their weapons to work but fail.
Narim: Do not worry. You may continue to carry them if you wish.
Jack: You didn't think you should've told us about this before we
came?
Narim: I didn't find it relevant.
Jack: We don't travel to other planets without weapons with which to
defend ourselves.
Narim: May I ask what you intend to defend yourselves against? The
Tollan have never threatened you. In any way.
Teal'c: He is correct O'Neill. I do not feel the need to carry a
weapon in this place.
Sam: And Sir, judging on what I've seen in the last five minutes,
our… weapons wouldn't be much of a match to their technology anyway.
Narim: No harm will come to you. The Tollan will guarantee it.
Jack: Is that a money-back-if-your-not-completely-alive guarantee?
Narim doesn't want to answer.
Narim: This way.
Scene: Meeting room/Courtroom or something.
Walk up to front where a woman – Travell – is sitting in what appears
to be a judge's seat or something to that sort.
Travell: These must be our visitors from Earth. Welcome.
Narim: High Chancellor Travell, this is Colonel Jack O'Neill.
Jack: Hi.
Narim: Doctor Daniel Jackson, Major Samantha Carter.
Sam: (smiling) Hello.
Narim: And Teal'c. (Notice how everyone says his name last in intro?)
Travell: We are honored that you have agreed to participate in Triad.
Your seeker will decide which one of you will be archon.
Jack: Seeker? Archon? (Looks at Daniel) Daniel?
Daniel: Uhh… With respect High Chancellor; Narim didn't really
explain the Triad very well. Could you please define those terms for
us?
Travell: In Triad there are two arguing parties called Seekers.
Triadic law requires that there be one archon who is sympathetic for
each cause, and one neutral archon. The archons argue the dispute
until a decision is reached.
Daniel: (explaining quietly to Jack) So the seeker is the defendant
and the archon is the attorney.
Jack: (quietly to Daniel) I got it. (To Travell) So Skarra is our…
(Looks at Daniel)
Daniel: (quietly to Jack) Seeker.
Jack: Seeker.
Travell: Narim will take you to him now.
Narim: This way. (Gestures out of the room)
They all walk into a room. Guards are posted outside. Narim takes
down the force field and they walk inside.
Sam: Skarra?
Skarra/Klorel turns around to look at them. His eyes glow.
Klorel: You… You will pay for what you did to my father. (More
glowing action)
Jack: It's good to see you too.
Skarra's head goes down. Device thingie that is on his chest goes
from red, to blue.
Skarra: I am very happy to see you. All of you.
Jack: (to Narim) What's the deal? What just happened?
Narim: The Tollan designed the device worn about his chest. It
suppresses the Goa'uld's ability to silence his host. The Goa'uld and
host are free to speak at will. The device cannot be removed as long
as Klorel and Skarra are our guests. The indicator on the front
prevents one from pretending being the other. Red indicates it is
Klorel who speaks. Blue, Skarra.
Jack: Nice device. We'll take a dozen.
Narim: As you may recall from our last encounter, it is forbidden for
the Tollan to give our technology to any culture less advanced then
our own.
Jack: Still got that arrogance bug I see.
Skarra: It is I O'Neer. Are you not happy to see me?
Jack, Daniel go over to him.
Jack: Yeah. It's good to see you.
Skarra: I knew you would come. With your help, I will be free of this
demon. Every day I fight him. I listen. I learn.
Narim: It is time for Skarra to choose his archon.
Skarra: O'Neer is strong. Danyer is wise. May I not choose both?
Narim: You may. They may both argue. However, they will have but one
vote.
Daniel: Okay, what is this Triad about? What's to be decided?
Narim: Two days ago a small Goa'uld vessel crashed in a remote area.
The occupant was badly injured. It was Skarra.
Skarra: We were fleeing a battle group dispatched by Heru'ur. My
demon knew that Tollans would stop them.
Narim: Which we did. We warned them. But they came anyway. Our
defense gird was forces to destroy them.
Sam: So, Heru'ur is dead?
Skarra: No, but two of his mother ships were destroyed.
Jack: (Confused, and amazed) Wait a minute, you blew away two Goa'uld
mother ships?
Narim: We are not a warring people but our defense technology is far
greater then that of the Goa'uld.
Daniel: Yeah, I know that all this weapons chatter gets my blood
pumping but could we get back to the Triad?
Narim: Yes, of course. When our sentries reached the crashed vessel
Skarra asked that we free him of his Goa'uld. But the Goa'uld
refuses. Therefore under Tollan law we have no choice but to hear
both parties before acting.
Jack: And Klorel's… (Looks at Daniel)
Daniel: Archon.
Jack: Archon… Is who?
Scene: Meeting place/Courtroom.
Four or five Jaffa and a Goa'uld with big headdress and a lot of
makeup walk into the room. Jack looks shocked, and somewhat scared.
Travell: My Lord Zipacna, we are honored that you have agreed to
participate in Triad.
Zipacna (Will be called Zippy after this): Due to your easy dispatch
of Heur'ur's mother ships it appears I do not have a choice.
Klorel: We would speak in private.
Travell: As you wish.
Klorel and Zippy leave.
Jack: So, when you were trying to get us to come here and `disarm'
us, you didn't feel it appropriate to mention that a freakin' Goa'uld
was going to be here? Not to mention his associates?
Travell: They are as unarmed as you.
Jack: You sure of that?
Narim: Our technology detects and disables any form of weaponry.
Jack: Uh-huh.
Daniel: You said that there was a third neutral archon… That's a…
Tollan?
Travell: No. We have asked our friends to send someone capable of
remaining neutral. I believe you have met.
The door opens and a Nox walks in.
Daniel: Lya.
Lya: It is good to see you once again friends.
Scene: Walking into room for SG-1.
Jack: Well, this just became a piece of cake, a walk in the park, a
day at the beach.
Daniel: An accident waiting for a place to happen?
Jack: (looking at Daniel) Mister Negative.
Jack, Teal'c, and Sam sit down. Daniel still stands.
Sam: Sir, what makes you so confident?
Jack: Because Lya is a fair and insightful person who will vote our
way. Besides, she likes us.
Daniel: Lya likes everyone. It's the Nox way.
Teal'c The Nox are not at conflict with the Goa'uld. As you may
recall they saved Apophis when you attempted to eliminate him.
Jack: (changing the subject) So, what do we have on this fine Goa'uld
fella?
Teal'c: Zipacna was once of Apophis' most loyal underlords.
Jack: Well, I don't believe for one second he's come to talk Klorel's
way out of here.
Chiming sound is heard and Jack looks up, trying to find the source.
Narim comes in.
Narim: They are ready for you.
Jack: Thank you. (Waits for Narim to leave) Carter, you and Teal'c
keep an eye on Zippy's kids (Jaffa just so ya know)
Sam: Yes Sir.
Jack: See what they're up to.
Jack and Daniel leave the room.
Scene: Courtroom/Meeting place.
Zippy is sitting at one `table' by himself, Daniel and Jack sit at
another, Lya sits in the `table' between Jack-Daniel and Zippy.
Skarra/Klorel sit in middle place while Travell gets the
nice `judge's' place.
Travell: This dispute involves two sentient being who inhabit the
same body. Both have requested sole use of the body, therefore we
must establish the right of priority over the body to whom does it
belong.
Jack: Ostensibly the one to whom it was born!
Zippy: (standing up) Your Eminence, I must request that the human
contingent follow decorum appropriate to such an auspicious body as
this one.
Travell: I agree. The archons will refrain from questions or comments
until their side is acknowledge. At this time I recognize Lord
Zipacna and Klorel.
Zippy: Until three years ago, the humans on Abydos live under Goa'uld
law. Administrated by Ra. Now by that law, they were Goa'uld
property. Lord Klorel merely took what was already his.
Jack: By force!
Travell: Colonel O'Neill please.
Jack: (waving hands) Sorry, sorry.
Travell: I understand your desire to defend your position Colonel.
And I will give you that opportunity. I would first like to hear
Skarra's prospective.
Light on Skarra's chest turns from red to blue. He slowly stands up.
Skarra: I was born to this body. Free of the demon Klorel. He stole
my body. On Abydos, I would have married, had children, grown old,
and died. But the Goa'uld took more then my body. He stole my life.
Travell: Human archons.
Daniel: (stands) Skarra, when you were born, did your people believe
they were slaves?
Skarra: No.
Daniel: Just so we can all be clear, who was Ra?
Skarra: We believed him to be an evil god.
Daniel: So he enslaved your people through superstition and fear?
Skarra: Until you came, yes.
Scene: Outside somewhere.
Sam and Teal'c pretend to be looking at some piece of art. Zippy's
kids walk by and Sam and Teal'c follow.
Scene: Courtroom/Meeting place.
Zippy: (Walking slowly over to Skarra) Tell me, did the people of
Abydos hunt?
Skarra: Yes.
Zippy: Did you also use animals as beast of burden for food, for
clothing?
Skarra: Yes…
Zippy: Do you also eat the flesh of humans?
Skarra: No! Never!
Zippy: (walking back over to his table) Then you make judgment that
animals have a lesser value then humans.
Skarra: We care for our animals. We worship them. We thank them for
the gifts they give us.
Zippy: Yes, but you keep them to do your will. And you kill them to
survive.
Skarra: When we have the need.
Zippy: As we do with humans. When we have the need. If a human has
the right to take an animal's body as he pleases because he is a
superior being, so does a Goa'uld. And by that argument alone, the
Goa'uld has priority. And the host belongs to Klorel. (Sits down)
Travell: Do the human archons wish to respond?
Jack: Yes ma'am you betcha.
Daniel: We do your Eminence.
Jack: (quietly to Daniel) Can I go first?
Daniel nods.
Jack: (gets up and clears throat) Your argument is flawed in oh so
many ways. Humans are self-aware. Animals aren't.
Zippy: Animals are not, because you deem them not to be. Just as we
deem humans, not to be.
Daniel: (getting up) What my learner colleague means is that humans
have a more advanced intelligence then that of lower cast animals.
Jack: Exactly. Just like that.
Zippy: Is that not a matter of perspective? Just as a human would
consider itself more intelligent then a pig. Or a pig would consider
it more intelligent then a… rat.
Jack: (muttering) Speaking of rats…(for all to hear) what's your
point?
Zippy: (getting up) My point is the Goa'uld considers itself more
intelligent then humans. Our technology is more advanced then your,
our mere knowledge of the universe is more advanced then yours.
Jack: You stole that knowledge!
Daniel: (walking over to Zippy, Jack sits) You took human knowledge
when you took humans as hosts. Just as you took knowledge from other
species. The Stargate isn't your technology. You just, took that. As
far as we known, nothing you have… came from you. So clearly the
evidence isn't that you more intelligent just… more parasitic.
Zippy: The method of gaining the knowledge is not the question. We
were able to obtain it. You were not.
Jack: (muttering) Oh, please…
Travell: Gentlemen. (Zippy sits down) We seem to have wondered away
form that central topic. Which seeker has priority over this body?
Daniel: (explaining at 10000 mph to Travell) If I may you Eminence I
don't think we've wondered away from the central topic at all. What
we're trying to point out is that the Goa'uld steal all they possess.
As they have in fact stolen Skarra's body.
Jack: Can I … Sorry. Can I just say something? (Daniel sits down)
Skarra? You once told me you'd rather die them live another day as a
Goa'uld. Why?
Skarra: What I suffer each day is worse then death.
Jack: For example?
Skarra: I remember the demon stretching out my hand to kill Danyer.
The husband of my sister. (He's sad) There was nothing I could do to
stop it! And I have seen, many more far worse atrocities then this.
Zippy: (quickly standing) I demand that the humans stay on topic!
Jack: It is on topic! You just want to avoid talking about all the
nasty stuff he's witness!
Zippy: The host witnesses nothing. Since nothing of the host
survives. (Boy did Zippy screw up there!)
Scene: Outside by Tollan tech.
Sam and Teal'c watch through binoculars as Zippy's Jaffa futz around
with Tollan technology.
Sam: (whispering) What are they doing?
Teal'c: (whispering back) I am uncertain.
Jaffa leave the weapon. Sam and Teal'c leave.
Scene: Courtroom/Meeting room.
Daniel: (is standing) Lord Zipacna. I would like to ask you a
question if I may.
Zippy: I hope I'll have the answer.
Daniel: I'm sure you will. (Walks over to Zippy) Is… your host in
there, somewhere?
Zippy: Nothing of the host survives.
Daniel: Really? Than how do you explain Skarra?
Zippy: What you call `Skarra' is nothing but a remnant. He can only
speak now because the Tollan use their technology to silence Klorel.
Daniel: But, how could he speak at all if he hadn't survived?
Lya: (finally speaking) And he spoke well. His words were not those
of a remnant personality.
Scene: SG-1 room.
Jack and Daniel walk in to find Sam and Teal'c looking at something.
Jack: Carter?
Sam: Sir, we may have a problem.
Jack: Do tell.
Teal'c: We tracked a Serpent guard and two Jaffa just outside the
cities limits. We observed them locate at least six Tollan weapon
sites.
Sam: We think that they were doing something to disable them, Sir.
Which in my opinion would mean that Zipacna is using the Triad to
stall for time to disable the Tollans' defenses. Then take the
opportunity to—
Jack: Wipe out the Tollan.
Scene: Outside by some water
Sam is standing, looking at the water, and looking as if she is
waiting for someone. Narim walks up to her.
Narim: Samantha. I hope you've not waited long.
Sam: No, thank you for coming.
Narim: It's my pleasure. In fact I am pleased that we were able to be
alone together.
Sam: Narim, I asked you to meet me because I need your help.
Narim: (smiling) Samantha I… I have missed you.
Sam: A lot has happened to me since I last saw you.
Narim: Oh. There is another.
Sam: No, not in the way that you mean. You see… I was blended with a
Tok'ra. And she dies to save my life. And I still have her memories
and her feelings.
Narim: And she is part of you.
Sam: Yes. I can't have a relationship with anyone until I'm
absolutely sure of whose feelings… I'm feeling. Do you understand?
Narim: You are very wise Samantha.
Sam: (muttering) Well…
Narim: May I ask then why you have summoned me?
Sam: Teal'c and I have been following the Jaffa that came with the
Goa'uld contingent.
Narim: (looking mad) Samantha why would you do such a thing? I was
sure your people would be more diplomatic then this.
Sam: We did it out of concern for your people. We think that the
Goa'uld are using the Triad to by time so they can prepare for an
attack on Tollana.
Narim: Why do you think that?
Sam: Because we saw they tampering with your weapons.
Narim: That is impossible. The weapons are made of an impenetrable
alloy and protected by security codes.
Sam: Narim. They were doing something to them.
Scene: By one of the Tollan weapons.
Jack, Daniel, Teal'c, Sam, Travell and Narim stand while other Tollan
check over the weapon.
Travell: We asked Lord Zipacna about you accusation. He denied it.
And he was quite offended.
Jack: Well that's a shocker. I hope you didn't take his word for it.
Travell: Our experts have been unable to find any form of tampering
on any of the canons.
Jack: (looking at Sam) Carter?
Sam: (thinking) Maybe they were painting them, Sir.
Travell: (glances over at the canon) I see no paint.
Sam: Sorry. It's an old Earth military expression. It means marking
them as targets.
Travell: Nor do I see any markings.
Sam: Well, there are ways that they could target the weapons without
actually leaving a mark.
Travell: If so, the instant one of the weapons is attacked the rest
will automatically locate the attacker and destroy it.
Jack: Unless they're all taken out simultaneously.
Travell: If that were possible, why then did the Goa'uld Heru'ur not
do so when in pursued of Klorel?
Sam: Well maybe because he didn't have a contingent on the planet's
surface to target the weapons in advance.
Travell: He didn't do it because it is impossible. It would take but
on of these devices to protect this planet from a Goa'uld mother ship
and we have many more then that. Our technology is much superior in
every way to theirs, and to yours.
Teal'c is watching the Tollan press controls on the canon.
Jack: My aren't we cocky.
Travell: Colonel, if this is an attempt to influence the outcome of
Triad, it is a feeble attempt indeed.
Daniel: I assure you your Eminence that this not intended as anything
other then an attempt to help your people.
Travell: I hope so. But understand if you continue to pursue this
matter in any way, I will disqualify you from Triad and replace you.
Skarra will be represented by someone else. Is that understood?
Jack: With protest.
Travell: Now, you will return to Triad in the morning and you will
not mention this matter any further.
Scene: Outside.
Jack, Daniel, Sam and Teal'c are walking.
Jack: Just stay away from Zippy and his gaggle of Goa'uld. Okay?
Teal'c: I know the Goa'uld O'Neill. They will attack.
Jack: But I don't see a choice here. If we keep pursuing the issue
Skarra will be represented by God knows who and we won't stand a
chance in hell. I'm not gonna let that happen.
Teal'c: Regrettably I must disagree in this situation O'Neil. I
believe that we are face with the loss of Skarra – one individual –
verse the deaths of many Tollan and possibly ourselves.
Daniel: And that's assuming the Tollan can't defend themselves, which
personally I think that's a false assumption.
Jack: Yeah, they did bring down a couple mother ships. I think
they'll be okay.
Teal'c: The Tollan have not been at war in many generations. They do
not think strategically. I believe that to be a fatal flaw.
Sam: Their naiveté could be their downfall.
Teal'c: That is correct. Allow Major Carter and my self to continue
monitoring the Goa'uld contingent in case of—
Narim walks up to them.
Narim: Excuse my interruption. The Triad resumes.
Narim leaves.
Jack: You've got your orders. Stand down.
Jack and Daniel leave.
Scene: Lya's quarters
Teal'c walks into the room. Lya gets up.
Lya: Teal'c. (Turns to look at him) This is highly inappropriate for
you to come to me during Triad.
Teal'c: I assure you I would never intend to influence your decision
in any way. I wish to speak to you concerning another matter.
Lya: You must not mention Klorel or Skarra. If you do I will be
forced to report the matter to the Tollan.
Teal'c: Understood.
Lya: What is it then?
Teal'c: As you are aware I was formerly in the service of the
Goa'uld.
Lya: If this is deigned to biased me against the Goa'uld—
Teal'c: I would never do such a thing nor do I feel the need. I am
here in fact in direct violation of an order by Colonel O'Neill.
Lya: Go on.
Teal'c: I have become convinced that the Goa'uld are planning to
destroy all the Tollan weapon instillations simultaneously thereby
preventing them form ever returning fire. The Goa'uld will then
attack this world, which will be defenseless.
Lya: Why do you tell me this?
Teal'c: I believe that you and I are the only ones able of preventing
this tragedy from occurring.
Lya: You and I? Teal'c, you are a strong warrior, but I am of the
Nox. If you have learned anything of us you have learned that we
defend ourselves through illusion and mastery of the mind.
Teal'c: Precisely.
Scene: Courtroom/Meeting place.
Jack and Daniel are tapping their fingers and chewing them while
waiting for Lya. Zippy is checking his nails. Lya finally shows up.
They stand.
Lya: I apologize for my tardiness.
Lya goes over to her seat.
Travell: We will resume. Lord Zipacna has asked us to reconvene early
because he wishes to make a challenge.
Zippy: (standing up) Tollan law does not provide for a penalty of
death. Is that right?
Travell: It is.
Zippy: Then I wish to point out the futility to this Triad. A Goa'uld
needs a host to survive. This is a biological fact, beyond our
control. If you allow priority to Skarra, it is of a death sentence
for Klorel.
Jack: Of course, if you flip that around you got Skarra on death row.
Zippy: Yes, but as proved earlier in Triad, the host survives.
Jack: Yeah?
Zippy: We can see this point. There fore if you provide priority to
Klorel, both host and symbiote live. (He sits)
Jack: Yeah, one lives freely, the other lives as a slave.
Daniel: (stands) We would put forth that life as a slave is not life
at all.
Jack: (stand) And if you want to save both lives… give us Skarra, you
take Klorel. Tok'ra can… put him in another host for all I care.
Lya: Who Colonel? Perhaps you would volunteer?
Jack: Uhh… no.
Daniel: Perhaps you could find someone who would choose to be a host.
The door comes open. Narim, Sam and Teal'c walk in.
Travell: Narim? What is the meaning of this? You know Triad is held
as a closed session.
Narim starts to walk over to Travell.
Narim: You Eminence, please adjust your viewer to the orbital
observatory.
The viewer comes up and a Goa'uld mother ship is seen on it.
Travell: A Goa'uld mother ship…
Narim: Yes. It approaches Tollana.
We then get a view of the side of the ship looking on, and moving
towards Tollana. Back to the room… Zippy, Daniel and Jack are
standing, looking at the viewer.
Travell: (to Zippy) Explain. (Daniel and Jack look at Zippy)
Zippy: My vessel comes in anticipation of our victory of Triad. It is
merely coming to take us along.
Jack: Why don't you just take the Stargate like the rest of us?
Zippy: Not that it is of your concern but there is no Chapp'ai where
we are going.
Jack: Well then gate to where there is one and get picked up.
Zippy: You Eminence, if our intentions were hostile, we would have
attacked already.
Travell: Even so, your ships arrival is premature and in violation of
Tollan space. I must warn you, that if you ship moves any closer
before the conclusion of Triad, our automated defense system will
destroy it.
Zippy: The Goa'uld rest our case and we are prepared to vote.
Therefore Triad is over.
Travell: Triad is over when all parties agree, Lord Zipacna. Do the
human archons have any further arguments?
Jack: Nope. I think the Goa'uld made our case for us quite nicely.
(He taps the view screen)
Daniel: No further arguments you Eminence we are prepared to vote.
Travell: Nox archon?
Lya: (nods) Yes.
Travell: Then bring in the seekers.
Everyone sits down, the viewer goes away and Skarra/Klorel comes into
the room escorted by two Tollan security guys.
Travell: Klorel and Skarra, you can both hear the Triads ruling?
Skarra: Yes, your Eminence.
Klorel takes control and eyes glow. Light turns red.
Klorel: I can.
Travell: Human archons. May we hear your vote?
Daniel: (stands up along with Jack) We find in favor of Skarra. (sits
back down)
Travell: Goa'uld archon?
Zippy: (stands) We're in favor of Klorel. (sits)
Jack: (mutters) Big surprise there…
Travell: Nox archon?
Lya: (stands) After careful consideration, I believe that both Klorel
and Skarra have the right to live. But, living as a host with no
right of ones own, is not life. Therefore, only one can remain in the
body. To that end, I award priority to the original owner of the
body. Skarra.
Klorel looks P.O.ed.
Jack: Yes. Now get that mother ship outta here. (Points at Zippy.)
Travell: We will summon the Tok'ra to come to Tollana to assist in
the removal of the Goa'uld Klorel. He will be removed from that host
and if he survives, will be sent to a Goa'uld world of his choice.
Travell presses controller on her arm and the color on the device
that is on Skarra changes from red to blue – Skarra.
Travell: I have locked the detachment device. Skarra, you have
priority control until the Goa'uld is removed. Prepare yourself. The
Tok'ra will arrive as soon as possible. And congratulations.
Skarra: Thank you.
Travell: Lord Zipacna. You are dismissed. With our thanks.
Travell leaves, Zipacna stands and grabs a communication ball from
underneath the table.
Zippy: (talking into ball) Ritak. Reenok ha'tak— (I don't know if
that's right. It's just what it sounds like)
Teal'c dives and gets device out of his hands. It goes flying. Jack
punches Zippy and he staggers. Teal'c gets Zipacna in a sleeper hold.
He slowly goes unconscious.
Jack: (as Zippy falls) Nice. Let's go!
Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, Skarra, and Narim run outta the room.
Down in the hallway…
Jack: Skarra! Wait here! Just trust me!
Points him over to a safe spot. Skarra goes over there and the rest
of them continue on running.
Scene: Outside, running.
Jack: How's that superior technology looking now? Security system
serving you pretty good is it?
Ship locks onto all the weapons.
Daniel: The ion canons.
Jack: Got a dead lock on all of them. (To Narim) You know, I hate
when people waste my time like this.
Daniel: Where's Teal'c?
Mother ship starts destroying canons. Sam looks around in the sky.
Sam: Colonel!
Gliders start swooping in and start firing.
Jack: Cover!
Naturally, they all run away. They find Lya and Teal'c hiding.
Narim: I must inform Travell!
Narim runs off.
Teal'c: Zipacna has escaped through the Stargate.
Jack: Well that's the least of our prob… Where have you been?
Teal'c: I must inform you O'Neill that I have disregarded your orders
concerning the Goa'uld.
Jack: Please explain.
A nod at Lya from Teal'c and Lya does her little teleporting thing.
Scene: Nice open clearing surrounded by trees and bushes. They're
walking.
Jack: So what's going on here?
Teal'c: I have requested Lya's assistance.
Lya waves her hand slowly through the air and an ion canon appears.
Sam: You hid one of them.
Teal'c: That is correct. Travell explained that is would take but one
of these to destroy a Goa'uld mother ship.
Gliders slowly come around.
Teal'c: It should have already fired.
Jack: Well it hasn't. Let's take cover huh?
They go to hide in bushes. Teal'c goes to canon. Gliders start
firing. Lya falls, but Daniel helps her. They hide behind the bushes.
Gliders come around for another attack. Teal'c presses controls and
the canon blows the two gliders out of the sky. He fires the weapon
again and two shots go up into space and destroy the mother ship.
Everyone else comes out from hiding in the bushes.
Jack: Very nice.
Jack pats Teal'c on the arm. We see the ship still exploding.
Scene: Meeting place/Courtroom.
Travell, Sam, Lya, Teal'c, Jack, and Narim are standing. Travell
starts walking over to Teal'c.
Travell: You disregarded my warnings.
Jack: Mine too… Well done.
Travell: If you were my subject I would be forced to discipline you.
However, you are not one of my subjects.
Travell puts her hand on Teal'c's chest and gives a bow.
Teal'c: It could not have been done without the assistance of Lya.
Sam: (to Lya) I thought the Nox were pacifists?
Lya: I only hid the weapon. I did not fire it.
Sam: Ah… Pretty fine line you didn't cross.
Lya: (nods) Yes it is.
Jack: So… we basically saved your whole planet, right?
Travell: Yes.
Jack: Are you therefore indebted to us is any modest way?
Travell: I suppose that is the case.
Jack: So, how about giving us the plans to build one of those ion
canons?
Travell: You have been told our policy. That has not changed.
Daniel walks in, Tok'ra behind him.
Daniel: The uhh... the Tok'ra have completed the procedure.
Jack: Yeah…?
Tok'ra walk by with Klorel in a see through container.
Lya: What will become of Klorel?
Narim: He will be sent to a Goa'uld world.
Jack: The hell with him what about—
Skarra: O'Neer!
Skarra runs into the room dressed in Tok'ra attire. Jack looks at his
clothes.
Jack: Much better.
Skarra laughs and the two hug. Skarra walks over to Teal'c and Teal'c
takes his hand. Teal'c bows. He goes over to Sam and they hug each
other.
End credits and such…
