That's alright Aegis, I'll be updating a few LORE bits in the next day or so too.

Oh that's fine. I had not thought about that part I must admit so I will fill that in when I can. Though if you know any locations in Canon I could place my change of heart it would be much appreciated.

Calum and Ahmos waited for the pleasantries to end, allowing Idalia and Ariadne to begin the greeting before they also introduced themselves. He listened, reading their reactions as they spoke. It would seem the distrust and hate between the two groups would be equal. At least they all knew where they stood now. "...and I am Calum..." Calum paused again to allow Ahmos to speak, as he so often preferred to be known as his own mind as much as any other would. His eyes flashed at the exchange of control and he tilted his head in acknowledgement of their presence. "...I am Ahmos, I trust your journey was no trouble." Ahmos always carried a mocking tone when speaking to someone he did not like. Though the words may have been sincere in choice, they were empty of care. He would probably have stood and watched them all die if he could, Jaffa were so arrogant in their ways. Alas, they would have to work together for now, and these old servants to false Gods had their uses.

He listened to the two groups exchange the last of their words. Upon sighting Ariadne's subtle gesture he turned to walk around the DHD, leaning over the dark marble coloured device and pressing the symbols in their respective sequences. The gate began to humming as each of the lights began to glow as he entered the address.

....fine.... *takes the cookie remains*

I believe I should have half the cookie. T'is my right as divine RP overlord!

"settle yourself Labor..." Alastair wavered his hand while leaning forward to rest one arm on the oak table. They had already begun discussing the outcome of the task before it had even begun. Such vibrant belief that victory was assured, it made him smile under his mask. "As Labor as rightly said however, we can not kill their king. We failed to foresee such a travesty in the Northlands and now our forces are stretched thin to install order over a realm now ready to rip out its own throat."

Alastair raised the paper up for them to see it. A dark parchment with the mark of three kings at its base along with the Order seal. "This document is a treaty among the kingdoms that have sworn a truce. You are to present it to their lord and expect him to follow its wishes accordingly." Alastair turned to Xai'an and handed the parchment to her. "I will leave this in your care my dear..." he was quite aware of what she was beneath the guise. Alastair was one of the few who did not care about physical appearance. He worse the mask both for ritual and security. The Master Warlocks identity was unknown to all but the highest of officials, something that had saved his life on more than one occasion.
"The king must be subdued, not killed. His men are collateral however..."

Makes a lot of sense. I will have Calum remain in traditional dress for the moment but he will probably adopt the uniform as time goes on.

"You should not allow such prejudice to cloak your judgement Calum. What we do now strengthens the alliance between all of us. The Tok'ra, the Tau'ri and the Jaffa." The young man speaking to Calum as they walked through the temple grounds was carrying a small data pad as he spoke. He was one of the many scientists in the city, working on ways to expand the energy network and not strain their resources too greatly.
"Do not fear Homet. I am not so foolish as to betray my emotions to grunts." Ahmos was the one speaking now, Calum had obviously grown tired of the debate over why they would need Jaffa at all aboard a Tau'ri vessel. Tok'ra and Tau'ri had worked well enough together without their assistance. In his experience their beliefs and superstitious ways left them easily manipulated.
Homet stopped his friend with a friendly gesture of his hand over Calum's shoulder. "And that is precisely what I mean. Jaffa are a proud people. Speaking to them as if they are lower then you will only give them cause to resent you."
Ahmos sighed and turned away to look into the distance before bringing his gaze back to his friend. "You are right as always my friend. Be safe while I am gone, and look after my plants..." Ahmos gave a smile and bowed his head, Calum being permitted to return and give Homet an endearing hug before taking what he chose as necessity items and began walking to the gate.

Necessity to Calum and Ahmos meant the zat by their side, a fresh set of clothes, a communications device and a datapad to work with. They had seen Tau'ri computers only once before, and so preferred their own technology over such devices. Still, that would not stop him from working with such machines. The two were anything if not resourceful. The sand had krept into the temple entrance again. This was one of the minor problems with living on a desert world, the sand got everywhere. He could see the gate had already activated from a distance and fixed his clothing to look presentable before marching over to Ariadne who was already at the DHD looking entirely uncomfortable. "I see our guests have arrived..." Calum said, one hand behind his back with the other around his small bag of belongings. He looked over the Jaffa, their ornate armour that iconic silver and gold. The symbol of their leaders head was of the Serpent god, False God, Apophis. He had fought them many times in the past. It would certainly be intriguing to see how the faired under his instructions. That is, of course, under the belief the Jaffa would not be given command over his actions. Such a thought was impossible to accept.

Calum just gazed at them, cold emotionless eyes only flickering when the occasional breeze kicked up dust and made him blink. For now he would simply be silent and follow Ariadne's lead. He had come to trust her judgement of late, even if he had never spoken with her before.

Will Tok'ra have to wear the uniforms too? Just checking so I can use it in a post if we do.

I'll post tomorrow...well its now 5am gone so I mean later today..you get the idea...*yawns*
