Trust

"Jack, give the command."

He hesitated, tapping his fingers on the console. Daniel had been compromised. He was a damn Prior for God's sake. SG-1 hadn't contacted him since they had arrived, and who knows what Daniel had done after he beamed aboard the Ori ship. Was Adria twisting his mind further? What had happened to SG-1? Were they even still alive?

"Please!" Over the radio, Daniel's voice was breaking from some terrible strain. "I'm running out of strength to do this!"

Jack looked out at the active Supergate through the glass viewport. Only he had the power to turn it off, bringing either victory or ultimate defeat. There was no proof whatsoever that Daniel was still Daniel. Had he even cloaked the ship at all, or would it be destroyed the moment the Gate shut down? Could Daniel really be trusted, after literally becoming one of the enemy?

But it was Daniel.

Jack opened a channel. "Daedelus, this is General Jack O'Neill."
