"Nes, you're sure you want to come along?" Sam asked her as they walked down the corridors of the SGC with SG-1.

"Of course, I'm sure. I want to see him die for the last time." She gave the other woman a smile. "I'm glad you were able to come back for this, Sam."

"Me, too," she said with a smile, but dropped her voice. "And Adaar? He didn't want to come?"

Nes shook her head. "No. This is a perfect situation to turn him into Alpha pretty quickly...or send him into a rage to kill the one who stole his life. I've seen him like that before and it was...difficult for him."

As they got into the Gate Room, General Landry was already there. "Dial it up, Chief! They're right on schedule," he said as he handed a clipboard to Sgt Siler, who then brought it over to Cam to sign.

"What am I signing this time?" Mitchell asked as the gate began to dial.

"Nothing, sir," Siler said, "just wanted your autograph."

Sam and Daniel watched the sergeant leave with amused looks.

"Sure you don't want to come along, sir?" Cam addressed the general. "Might never be another one of these."

"Tempting as it is, I'll be doing paperwork the whole time you're gone. Besides, one general looking over your shoulders is plenty."

"Yes, speaking of Jack..." Daniel began.

"He went ahead with SG-3 to officially hand over the prisoner," Landry replied.

Sam nodded. "Well, I guess he knows who we're dealing with."

Nes turned to her. "Kevin went along with his team as well."

"Such precautions are unnecessary," Teal'c said with a confident smile. "Half of the free Jaffa fleet stands guard over the Tok'ra homeworld to ensure that the execution of Ba'al takes place as planned."

Right on cue, Vala came striding in with a gun big enough that it required both hands to carry it. "You know better than anyone, Muscles, this is an extraction, not an execution." Everyone stared at her until she finally looked at the weapon in her hands. "Oh, well, this is just in case."

Nes chuckled, but couldn't blame her, having hidden an ample supply of knives in the uniform she wore.

Cam was not nearly as amused, though."No. No, no. Airman!" He took the gun from Vala's hands to give to an approaching airman. "You're not walking into my first extraction ceremony carrying that thing."

"Whoa, wait a minute," Daniel said. "This is your first?"

"Yeah, it should be interesting."

"It'll blow your mind," General Landry said.

Sam nodded in agreement. "It is pretty incredible."

"Huh, well, witnessing a Goa'uld being extracted from a host is one thing. Actually experiencing it is something else." She looked to the rest of them, Nes in particular. "To feel the sensation of the symbiote that has controlled your every action for so many years, while you watched helplessly from the darkest recess of your mind, as it is finally excised from your body and left to writhe in the light of day." Vala's eyes were a bit damp as her voice thickened. She took in a deep breath. "Well, that...is incredible."
