The price of failure... or nothing.". "This time, Jack, it\'s a miracle... "Not this time," he told his friend.
Jack liked to say, There is always, always a Plan B.
Let us be rescued soon.
How many times could he tap-dance on the brink of death before that final, fatal plunge? Please God.
But even cats only got nine lives and he wasn\'t a cat.
So had they.
He\'d survived that one.
Sitting in a corridor covered in blood, having just been shot to bits by a Jaffa staff weapon, on a mother ship rigged to the rafters with C4, knowing his wound would probably kill him first, knowing Jack and Sam and Teal\'c were going to die soon, too.
Once.
Maybe.
Okay.
We\'ve been in worse.
Standard O\'Neill reply: Don\'t worry, Daniel.
Which was nothing compared to the trouble they were in.
He was reasonably sure it was infected.
The cut on his hand had long since stopped dribbling but it still hurt.

If they can\'t find a way to put their differences behind them, they might not make it home alive ...
It\'s a risky proposition, especially since the fallout from Euronda has strained the team\'s bonds almost to breaking.
The secretive Tok\'ra are running out of hosts, and Jacob believes he\'s found the answer - but it means O\'Neill and his team must risk their lives infiltrating a Goa\'uld slave breeding farm to recruit humans willing to join the Tok\'ra.
When Jacob Carter asks General Hammond for SG-1\'s participation in a mission for the Tok\'ra, it seems like the answer to O\'Neill\'s dilemma.
Now the dogs of Washington are baying for Jack O\'Neill\'s blood - and Senator Robert Kinsey is leading the pack.
All SG-1 wanted was technology to save Earth from the Goa\'uld, but the mission to Euronda was a terrible failure.
The price of failure..
