Meanwhile on the planet...
"So that's Sekhmet, huh?"
"Yup."
"Goddess of War and Divine Vengeance?"
"That's right."
"Huh. We probably shouldn't have pissed her off then."
Blair twisted around to stare incredulously at Jim. His eyes
narrowed. Was it his imagination or did Jim seem just a little too
appreciative of the female Goa'uld in skimpy golden armor, striding
up and down in front of them, howling with rage and slashing her whip
freely among her cowering servants. "Don't even think it, mister."
"What?" Jim blinked innocently, as he swung gently to the right.
Blair kicked out his left leg to swing him back.
"You know what I'm talking about. She's exactly your type. We're in
enough trouble as it is."
"Sekhmet is well-known among my people," Teal'c informed them
gloomily. "Her military skills and bloodthirstiness are second to
none."
"To put it mildly. She's known (conservatively) as a bit of a
psychopath. She *really* gets off on killing people," Daniel added,
as he continued trying to pull his wrist loose from the shackles that
held him dangling above the pit with sharpened spikes. "One of her
other titles is "Lady of Pestilence", who could send plague and
disease."
Jim wrinkled his nose. "Great. Biological warfare." His arm muscles
bunched and rippled as he tugged at the shackles as well. One
particularly strong jerk sent him careening into Blair, who slammed
into Teal'c, who was caught by surprise and thrown into Daniel. All
four men spun around dizzyingly, while the Goa'uld goddess stopped
her tirade to stare up at them and burst into laughter. Her entire
entourage promptly followed suit.
"We've got..." Blair's rotations had an interesting sound
affect. ".. to get..." "...out of here!"
"DanielJackson, Sir. What shall we do?" All three men turned their
heads toward Daniel as much as possible and waited for orders.
Daniel grit his teeth as he was jostled from side to side, his weight
pulling painfully against his shackled wrists. He traded furious
glares with the Goa'uld. Jack was depending on him to bring SG-1
back home in one piece. No way was he letting Jack down. Slowly,
Daniel smiled. He just had an idea...
~ Night Spring interjects:
The guys swinging into each other is hilarious, but perhaps it would be funnier
if the Goa'uld and her entrouage kept a straight face?
I mean, it's not a Goa'uld unless they are shouting "Kree! Kneel before your
god!" Hmmmm, that's a thought. ~
What's-her-name shouted "Kree! Kneel before your god!"
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Daniel yelled back, as he swung wildly
past her upraised hand.
"Yes! Get us down from here and we'll kneel all you want!" Blair also yelled out
as he too, swung past the other side.
As Daniel and Blair swung back, they somehow managed to collide right into each
other, and the resulting shock broke off their shackles and sent them flying
bodily into the Goa'uld.
"Great move, Chief," Jim called out, as Blair and Daniel dazedly picked
themselves off the now very unconscious Goa'uld. "Now, can you get us down from
here already?"
