Quantum Mirror Series 4

Sgt. Ford led SG10 to the mess hall as Colt grumbled about a mission they had finished days earlier that ended with a crocodile like humanoid creature hitching a ride through the gate and trying to kill Colt. Ford was impressed by Colts actions, he used nothing but a sword to fend the creatures off and allow the squad to get back through the gate. When one of them came through with Colt he killed it using the same sword.

Ford was highly impressed by what Colt had done, but of course he said nothing.

"I told them to name that thing a Dwarf Sleestack, but I'm not sure they're going to," Colt said to Ward.

Colt was the last one up the steps into the small temple that had been converted into a mess hall and he looked up just in time to see that SG29 was in the line ahead of them. Colt saw her and he sprinted past his team and shoved his way in front of Ford. The Marine scowled at the back of Colt's head for a second until he saw why he'd cut.

Navy Lieutenant Charlie Miller stood right in front of Colt. Ford used the hand sign for his team to look forward. Then he pointed to her. They all watched as Colt tried to think of something clever. As the line moved she glanced back at him once, all he could do was smile. With his opportunity to impress her quickly coming to an end Colt finally decided on the perfect pick up line. He waited until she looked back at him once more before he unleashed the fury of his charm and genius.

"So, you come to this planet much?" Colt asked, acutely aware of how quiet the mess hall became in that instant.

She smirked at him and walked away. Colt stood frozen and embarrassed at his failure. His team took the opportunity to console him.

"Come to this planet much?" Ford said behind him. "That is some powerful stuff. Maybe we should be using that on the Goa'uld."

"Does that question successfully initiate a mating ritual on your world?" Natock asked.

"No, it really doesn't," Ward said as he snickered.

"She digs me," Colt said, choosing to be confident.

"Oh yeah, that one is helpless against your powers," Ford added with a grin.

Two hours later SG10 sat in the briefing room with Michael, Tulol, and General Willis.

"General, the Jaffa will not hesitate to stand with the Tau'ri, but we are ill-equipped to do so. You have been generous enough to offer your weapons, but my warriors have expressed, concerns about them," Tulol said.

"I see," Willis said.

"I actually have some thoughts on that General," Michael began. "Torin was in a position to learn a great deal about the territory he was in. We think we know of at least three armories that can be taken with little difficulty."

"What Jaffa weapons do we currently have?" Willis asked Sgt. Ford.

"Twenty one staff weapons and fourteen Zat guns."

"That is not nearly enough for my Jaffa," Tulol said. "We will also require armor and grenades and a variety of other weapons to be effective allies of the Tau'ri."

"What do you have in mind?" Willis asked Michael.

"When Ra was killed his territory was quit large but he had only a small army of Jaffa. His highest ranking Under Lord Thoth was able to take control of most of the Jaffa that remained and he still holds more than half of Ra's territory. When he died Ra had more weapons than men. We think we can secure the small weapon cashes because they are lightly guarded. Ra believed that only he knew their locations."
