Chapter 1

"Oh come on Carter, a little time off won't kill you," Jack O'Neill told the blonde sitting across from him. Sam Carter looked at him as if he had just slapped her.

"Sir, I was in the middle of going through some things we brought back from P3X-487 with Daniel and all of a sudden we were being dragged out saying we need some time off."

"Well you do, we all do even Teal'c needs some." The Jaffa just bowed his head and kept drinking his water.

"No, Sam's right we were fine, we didn't need any time off" Daniel said with a slight frown on his face, looking out the window.

"Come on Daniel you and Carter have been looking through that stuff for what almost 2 weeks now I think you deserve a break." Jack said sipping his beer and trying to persuade the archeologist and major sitting across from him that this was a good idea.

"Whatever you say Sir."

"Ya whatever you say Jack."

"Come on Will, we're going to lose them!" Ashley yelled behind her while trying to keep the little pack of nubbins within eye site.

"Ashley keep going, I'm right behind you don't let them get away!" Will yelled.

"Henry, what do you have?" asked Will over the walkie.

"They're heading east towards the forest, Big Guys coming to meet you there in the truck, let's hope you can catch them before something really bad happens." Henry's voice crackled over the walkie.

"Ya you and me both buddy" Will replied.

"Ashley, they're headed for the forest, Big Guy's going to meet up there" Will called to Ashley who was still in front chasing the now invisible nubbins.

"Got it!" she yelled back in response and the disappeared around the corner heading towards the forest.

She turned the corner and ran right into a tall man with greying hair. He was knocked back into the three people who were behind him "Hey watch where you're going!" he cried as the blonde woman next to him steadied him.

"Sorry, can't stop- WILL HURRY UP THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!" Ashley cried.

"We're going to lose those nubbins" she muttered to herself. The group heard a reply from around the corner,

"Ashley calm down I'm coming!" The group just stared as a tall man came running around the corner holding onto a hand held device that was beeping like mad, almost ran into the group to.

He looked up from the device "hey have you seen a blonde woman run past here about yay tall" Will asked raising his hand to show how tall Ashley was.

"Ya she just ran past here muttering something about nubbins, she went that way," the blonde lady said slightly confused.

"Thanks" Will replied then he stop dead in his tracks. "Magnus?" he said matching her confused tone with confusion and shock. "What are you doing here you were with Henry keeping tabs on the nubbins." Will said.

"Wait, how do you know that name" the blonde woman said her face going pale as a sheet.

"What are you talking about and how come your hair is short, and blonde?"

"Wait a second who are you?" The man with glasses asked.

"I'm Doctor Will Zimmerman, and who are you?"

"I'm Doctor Daniel Jackson, that's Jack O'Neill, that's Samantha Carter and this is Murray," Daniel said while Samantha Carter looked like something had just donned on her.

"Wait a second your name is Will Zimmerman, then was that girl that just ran past name Ashley Magnus?" she asked.

"Ya, how did you know?" Will asked.

"Well if you are who you say you are and that girl is who you say she is then that means you two work at the Sanctuary" she said a smile creeping onto her face "and that means you work for a woman named Helen Magnus." Will looked shocked at how much this woman knew about them,

"How do you know who our boss is?" he asked really confused now. "I know this because Helen Magnus is my twin sister," She said.
