((Part One and Part Two here))

As time drew on, there was no sign of Stacy, rescue parties or of a single landing pods. The typhoon season approached closer with each day, rain and wind spattering the leaves on some days, varying between intense heat and humidity on other days. The megafauna in the jungles had grown more active too. The earth rumbled under their feet as they starting their migration amidst hooting calls and croaks. Throughout the varying weather, one thing remained constant. The hive of activity around the three step pyramids never ceased, slaves either taking shifts or in the most fanatical cases, working themselves near to death or to death. It was like this all across Kalimba. The call had gone out with the instructions for the slaves: work was to begin on restoring the Crocodile God's fleets underneath each step pyramid all across the planet. They were his Chosen, his Children, and he would ensure they were rewarded for their faith.

The complex swarmed with slaves and guards moving weapons and parts. Sobek and his personal guards were also in and out more often as the fleet began to take shape, often traveling to other sites to check on progress. Stones fell away from each ship as far as the eye could see. More and more of each ha'tak was revealed, while lines of human bodies went inside to work on the interiors. If the number of step pyramids that towered through the jungle were any indication, his fleet would be massive.

((same as Part 2: run your own posts with each other, more private threads with Sobek are available at the start. Part 3 does not have to immediately include end-plot stuff. If you want more CR amongst each other or your character being messed with by Sobek, please do!))

Of course it's personal, Vala's lived almost her entire life under the rule of the Goa'uld. She lost seven years of her life to one, memories that she might be able to suppress in the day but at night when her imagination is left to its own devices conjures up constant images of horror.

"Wait, you're injecting me?" For some reason that thought had never crossed her mind, she'd just assumed she'd be administering it to Sobek.

"Oh." There's a long pause, the cogs in her mind visibly ticking over as she digests that. It doesn't take her long to accept it though. Fly by the seat of her pants, march ahead without thinking about it. If she stopped and thought too much, she might back out and let her selfish instincts kick in. "Okay then." It's a surprisingly relaxed response, no more gravity to her reply than if he'd asked her if she wanted a cup of coffee.

"Where? My arm? Please don't say my ass. I'll just think you're using it as an excuse to see it."

"Of course I'm injecting you," the Doctor said. "It tastes terrible. Trust me."

Don't ask where he had the time to give it a thorough taste-testing. The Doctor reached out to take her hand in his, his grip gentle as he turned her arm and looked for a good point to go sticking it in.

"The median cubital vein will do." He'd like to say the needle is clean, but there wasn't much to sterilize it aside from giving it a pass with the sonic. Besides, he suspected that at this point, sterilization was the least of their worries, what with the future escape and trying not to get pulled in with the fleet once they actually try to activate those time engines.

"I was just about to suggest the same," Vala replied tongue in cheek not having a clue what he was blathering on about. A vein was a vein. And hygiene was hardly an issue, you only had to look at their accomodation for the last six months, never mind the lack of sterile hospital wards and equipment in Vala's world before she ever set foot on Earth.

She held out her arm, biting back the squickiness of it all. She'd be a hell of a hypocrite if she were to balk at this after the things she'd seen Sobek do. There were no more questions, no checking details. This was happening, what was the point in thinking it over too much or knowing the potential ins and outs of it? Sobek was planning on taking her as a host anyway, at least this way she had some hope of avoiding that.

"So I do the deed and meet you all back at Eneesh's ship with Daniel then?" She made it sound like a merry jaunt to the park, she of all people knew it would be far from it. But there was no point dwelling on it. Everything could go wrong, but they had to take their chances.

Think we could probably wrap it up aronud here?

"That's the plan!" The Doctor flashed her a tired smile through his bird's nest of a beard. It wasn't quite on par with his usual grin that got humans to run that extra distance when they were about to get shot at - it was still a very good effort, though. "We need to be quick about it. We probably won't have much time to secure an escape."

Make that no time at all, but he decided Vala was better off concentrating on getting Daniel out. He slid the needle into the vein at the crook of her elbow, slowly injecting the mixture and peering into her face for any sign she might have any adverse reactions. So far she was looking like herself; in other words, better than expected, considering everything Sobek had thrown at them.

The Doctor glanced at the empty needle and then tossed it to the side, not sorry to be rid of it. Ideally, they'd be able to get off planet and send a distress call to Stacy, provided they got enough distance and the fleet didn't pull them into the event horizon. He kept all that to himself, instead giving Vala a pat on the shoulder as he levered himself to his feet and tucked his sonic screwdriver into his pocket.
