Why This Must Be Read: Here is a bittersweet glimpse of life at the SGC outside the confines of SG-1. Full of competence and ripples and repercussions and unsung heroes, this fic gives us a chance to visualize the courage of those who are not part of the flagship team. Add some excellent George and Janet cameos, and you've got a story you're sure to enjoy.
A few meters down the way, three men had a woman backed up against the brick wall of a building.
The men were typical ruffians, clad in dirty, patched clothing and sharing just enough weight between them to get what they wanted in most situations. But there was an air about them at odds with what the team knew of the locals. The woman appeared to be a visitor, as well. She was pretty, her clothes of fine quality, and she carried herself with dignity, even with her back to the wall. She stared the men down with a fearless, haughty gaze.
Weston couldn't quite make out the would-be attackers' words, but everything in their body language indicated impending action. He quickly signaled Evans to take the man on the right, and that he would get the other two. Evans raised his gun and his eyebrows in question, but Weston shook his head. This would be a quick, quiet, hand-to-hand diffusion. No need to upset the locals with a firefight in the streets. Carefully, the two crept closer, using the shadows as cover. Weston gave the signal, and he and Evans leapt from a dark doorway.
Evans ended up with a split lip, and Weston a black eye, but the three men went down much harder. When the dust settled, they looked around for the woman, but she was gone.
Seven months later, Zana of the Tok'ra went undercover as Dr. Raully.
