SGC and the Force

Chapter 15: Jolinar, Friend or Foe

After Sam stopped crying over the ordeal, they left the room they were in. It surprised her to see Ituor standing there helping with the training.

"I forgot to tell you that Ituor was with me."

Jack went to him to ask if he could come over where she was to talk privately.

He did not need to use the Force to see that something was upsetting Sam. "What's the matter?"

She told him about Jolinar and what happened a few moments ago.

He put his hand over his mouth and thought for a moment. He replied,
"I don't think Jolinar is talking to you as a Dark Lord. She wouldn't know about Yoda. Only a few knew about them. Jolinar is communicating with you because it's important. If that doesn't convince you, at least talk with Thor. He will clear this up once and for all. If Jolinar is an ancient Jedi Knight, Thor would know."

She thanked him, but she was still a little nervous about going through it.

Before Ituor left them, he said,
"May the Force be with you."

She shook these feelings out of her head and searched for Brandon. Before she left, she gave her husband one more hug and said,
"Thank you for being there for me earlier."

He gave his usual smile and said, "Anytime, Jedi."
Having him be his usual self always made her feel good inside. In this, she felt much better.

She found Brandon on the other side of the Academy dueling with a Jedi Apprentice. She stood there and watched. After the duel was over, he looked up and saw Sam grinning at him.
"It seemed not that long ago that I was training you to use a lightsaber."
She looked serious and said,
"We need to leave here. I need to talk to Thor. We have a mission to do."

"Where are we going?"

"I'm not sure. That's why I need to talk with Thor."

Sam grabbed her Holocron communication device and
contacted the Asgards.
"This is Master Jedi, Sam O'Neill. We need to talk
with Thor, privately. Brandon and I are ready to..."

Before she finished, they were both aboard the Asgard's mothership.
"What can I do for you, Master Jedi Samantha?"
Thor asked.

She told him what Jolinar said to her.

"All of what she has said to you is true. We are the ones that
are guarding the shield generator she wants you to turn off,
and we are guarding the machine that is what you
Jedi Knights call the Force."
Thor sighed,
"I always thought they should not have shielded themselves
in the beginning. I hope the price for doing this does not eliminate
the Tok'ra. They need to become Jedi once more. The trainees
you have on Earth are not enough."
Thor paused and continued,
"The reason for having both of you — it takes two Master Jedi
to turn off this shield."

Sam asked,
"Is it dangerous?"

"No, but turning off this shield can only be done by two Jedi."

Master Jedi Brandon asked,
"What do we need to do then?"

"Use the Force to first unlock the shield that protects the
shield device that is keeping the Tok'ra today from using
the Force. While one of you is holding the shield that
surrounds it, the other one will use the Force to turn the
shield off that Jolinar spoke about." Thor explained.

"I understand now."
Sam said,
"Where do we need to go?"

"I will have to send you there."
Before either could say anything more, they left
the ship and found themselves somewhere else.
