As the wormhole disengaged behind SG-1, Colonel Jack O'Neill took in his surroundings on PJ5-483. The M.A.L.P. telemetry had shown trees and ruins, and that's exactly what he saw. This was more Daniel's sort of mission. Another planet where Jack could just sit and wait until Daniel's excitement of alien scratches in lumps of rock had passed, and they could go back home.

Jack looked over at Daniel. The young archaeologist was already examining the ruins, looking for something familiar. Jack sat down on the stone steps leading up to the Stargate. He really didn't see any point in his being here, there was nothing he could do or say that would help, and no knowledge he could contribute to either Daniel or to Carter, who was now taking soil samples. Trees were green. He knew that, but then again, everyone knew that. It couldn't help much. He decided to contribute the only way he knew how to on missions like this;

"Nice day. What d'ya say, Carter? Few less trees, bit more sun, we could turn this into a regular vacation spot for the entire SGC."

Sam turned and looked at Jack, and gave a slight smile. She knew exactly what was going on. The Colonel wasn't feeling useful enough and so decided to make some sarcastic comment about the weather. It happened every time and for some reason it still made her laugh.

Jack smiled and began strolling around the area and thinking. He could make his team laugh. At least that was one good thing he could do.

He stopped suddenly in his tracks and called Daniel over. Daniel reluctantly left his rock and stood beside Jack. Jack pointed towards a nearby group of trees.

"You see anything over there Daniel?"

Daniel squinted at the trees. He could see nothing. He was beginning to think Jack was going crazy, when suddenly a figure ran through the trees straight towards him. It was a young woman; her face caked in blood. She looked terrified. She ran straight into Daniel, pleading for his help.

"Woah, slow down," Daniel said, "What's your name?"

"I am L'Anya. Please help me, They come from the East, in groups. They are hunting me." She began to cry. "We must leave. Please, please take me with you."

L'Anya looked anxiously behind her, and Jack saw what she had been running from. Less than thirty meters away was a Jaffa patrol, staffs at the ready. Jack pulled out his gun and ducked behind a rock. Sam and Teal'c followed the example along with Daniel, who grabbed L'Anya's arm and pulled her down with him. Jack looked up over the rock and fired a round towards the group. They responded by firing back in Jack's direction, narrowly missing him.

"O'Neill!" Teal'c shouted, "more Jaffa are approaching!"

Jack looked ver to where Teal'c was watching. Another ten or so Jaffa were moving towards them. Jack took a good look around. If they moved now they could get out alive; there was no way in hell they could fight off the entire troop.

"Alright," Jack shouted, "Carter, dial us home."

Sam quickly headed for the DHD. Jack followed behind her, laying down cover fire. As the wormhole opened, shock registered on L'Anya's face. "You came through the great circle!" Daniel took her hand, dodging the continuous fire.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of. We'll just take you to our world where you'll be safe." L'Anya looked behind her at the closing Jaffa. She needed no more convincing. She followed Sam, Teal'c and Jack through the gate, Daniel close behind her.

Jack reached the other side first and waited for Daniel to come through the gate. "Close the iris!" Jack shouted. Walter was in the control room and began to close the iris. But it was too late. As it began to spiral shut, a single staff shot fired through the center of the gate, and caught Daniel in the back. He let out a cry of pain before falling unconscious on the ramp.
