Teal'c decides to leave the SGC and return to his home world.
ONE
SG-1 came running out of the stargate. Major Carter was the first one through. She was out of breath and had a cut on her forehead that was still bleeding. Teal'c and Daniel were next. Finally, Jack came running through the gate.
"Close the gate," screamed Jack as he cleared the gate, "close it NOW!"
"Do it," ordered General Hammond in the control room.
The technician sitting at the control room flipped a switch and the iris which covered the stargate closed immediately. Several seconds later several "thuds" could be heard from the opposite side of the iris. General Hammond rushed out of the control room to check on his people.
"Are you all alright?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," gasped Sam, trying to catch her breath, "I think so. There were some Jaffa waiting for us when we got there."
"Jaffa?" questioned Hammond.
"Yes, sir," gasped Jack. "Teal'c said it looked like an advanced scouting party. Some of them are probably those red splotches on the other side of the iris right now."
"Okay," said Hammond. "I want Dr. Fraiser to check all of you out, then I want a full report."
"Yes, sir," responded Jack.
Dr. Fraiser checked them out and said their injuries were minor. She treated the cut on Sams' forehead then pronounced them all fit for duty. SG-1 then went to the briefing room to give their report to General Hammond.
Their report was pretty straight forward. They had gone to PX4193 to check it out. After arriving, they discovered several Jaffa were already there. When the Jaffa spotted them, Jack decided to get back to Earth. What had followed was a run for their lives for the Stargate. They had only barely managed to get through the gate before the Jaffa followed them.
"So, I guess we can cross PX4193 off of our list of friendly planets," said Hammond.
"Looks like it, sir," said Jack.
"Teal'c," said Hammond. "Colonel O'Neill said you thought it was an advanced scouting party of some sort. Any idea what the Jaffa were doing there?"
Teal'c didn't answer. He seemed to be lost in thought.
"Uh, Teal'c, buddy," Jack half whispered. "Not a good idea to keep generals waiting."
Teal'c seemed to come out of his daze. He looked around at the others gathered in the room.
"I apologize, General Hammond," he said.
"Are you okay, Teal'c?" asked Hammond.
"I am fine," responded Teal'c. "I believe they were an advanced scouting party for one of the system lords. The system lords often send such parties to inspect planets they plan to add to their areas of control."
"I see," said Hammond. "Well, I guess there's nothing else for us to do. You all get some rest. Colonel, a word, please."
"Colonel, is Teal'c alright?" asked Hammond after the others had left.
"I don't know, sir" said Jack. "He seemed fine on the planet. I'll speak to him and see if he's okay."
"Do that," said Hammond. "If there's something wrong with him, I need to know about it."
"Yes, sir," said Jack.
Jack left the conference room and went to look for Teal'c.
