Chapter 1
Colonel O'Neill strode into the gate room, through the blast doors ahead of his team, pulling his baseball cap over his graying hair. George Hammond stood above them, watching through the control room window as his flagship team prepared to "embark".Beside him, Sergeant Harriman spoke into the loudspeaker.
"Chevron 7 locked."
Below, in the gate room, the vortex rushed forward above their heads before settling back into a shimmering vertical pool confined within the enormous ring of the stargate and filling the room with flickering blue light.
Having given his team a once over, Jack was satisfied that they were all "properly attired" and equipped and he turned his attention to the control room window, while General Hammond flicked the switch on the mike.
"SG-1 you have a go. We expect you to return or make contact within 24 hours." His deep Texan voice rang through the gate room
Throwing his CO a mock salute and a cheeky smirk, he turned back to his friends."SG-1 move out!"
His 2IC started up the ramp, followed by Daniel and the two disappeared through the shimmering event horizon of the wormhole. Jack walked slowly up the ramp beside Teal'c, the last member of his oddball team.
"So Teal'c, what do you think we'll find on sunny P2K 485?" His jaffa friend raised an eyebrow.
"I am unsure O'Neill however, the MALP showed a well traveled path leading from the stargate."
"Really? A path you say? Sounds mighty dangerous to me Teal'c." Smirking, Jack glanced sideways at Teal'c, enjoying the look of quiet inner confusion on the big man's face as he pondered the intricacies of the unusual Tau'ri sense of humor.

Sam emerged from the wormhole on P2K 485 and moved quickly to the bottom of the leaf strewn steps, her P90 raised, scanning the surrounding woodland.
She heard the gate shut off and became aware of Colonel O'Neill in her peripheral vision, imitating her defensive stance a few yards away, to her left.
"Clear Carter?"
"Yes Sir."
"Good. Same here." He lowered his P90, flashing her a grin that caused her heart to stop beating for a moment. She watched him as he pulled off his baseball to run a hand through his hair. /Oh God why does he have to do that/
Unaware of the effect he was having Jack leaned slightly closer to pull the major out of wherever her enormous mind was wandering to # Probably theatrical physics or some unsolvable equation.# "Hey! P2K 485 to Carter!" She jumped and looked up at him trying to pull her head back into place and having realised he had made her uncomfortable, Jack moved quickly out of her personal space. "Let's see what's got Daniel wetting his pants." #yup, jokes are good to lighten an awkward situation# Sam smirked and nodded, slipping back into the easy banter and camaraderie and she followed him in the direction of their two friends.
Daniel was stood by the DHD chattering at Teal'c about something 'amazing' about the flowers decorating it. Teal'c stood patiently allowing Daniel's tirade to wash over him, keeping a neutral expression fixed firmly on his broad face.
AS Jacki approached with Sam at his shoulder, Daniel spotted him and redirected his stream of incoherent babbling in the direction of his leader instead. While Sam nodded and listened carefully, Jack gave Daniel about 20 seconds to ramble before screwing his eyes closed and holding u a hand to shut him up.
"Daniel, for cryin' out loud, just give it to me in three simple sentences okay?"
Ignoring Sam's quickly stifled giggle, Daniel threw Jack a dirty look.
"OK...1. The DHD has flowers on it."
"Well thank you for your outstanding observation Danny, but we noticed that. What's 2?"
"Right. 2. Um... This probably means that it is an important part of their culture, whoever 'they' are0 and the flowers could be some sort of ritualistic thing or maybe an offering, perhaps to some sort of god --"
"Woah Danny!" Jack's attention was now 100 on the young archaeologist. "Gods?... as in...goa'ulds?"
A/N Chapter 2 up in maybe a couple of weeks. This is my first story so please feedback and be honest but not brutal. I realize it's not much to go on but tell me how the general storytelling/portrayal of characters etc is going.
