RESCUE MISSION
PART ONE
' SG-1 you have a go' General Hammond informed his premiere team who stood waiting on the ramp at the base of the Stargate. The Stargate was the large metal ring, which had been found in Giza, Egypt, back in 1928. It allowed them to travel between Earth and other planets millions of light years away. The team had been through some rough patches lately. The General hoped that this simple mission would allow them to sort things out. SG-1's leader gave a slight wave towards the control room as he stepped through the wormhole, closely followed by his 3 team-mates.
Colonel Jack O'Neill smiled to himself as he stepped out unto their latest planet, P6X-402. The rest of his team, Dr Daniel Jackson, Major Samantha 'Sam' Carter and Teal'c followed him out.
' So Daniel, which way?' he asked, having already assessed the area for any potential dangers.
Not getting an answer, he turned to their resident archaeologist/linguist who had his arms firmly wrapped around his chest and his head down, a stance the rest of his team knew all too well.
Jack sighed; it was obvious his mind wasn't on their current mission, though he couldn't really blame him. Daniel's wife, Sha're, had died only 3 weeks previously and just to top things off, Teal'c had been the one to kill her in order to save Daniel's life. Everyone knew that Teal'c had had no choice, Ammonet, the symbiote who'd taken over Sha're's body, would have killed Daniel within seconds had Teal'c not intervened.
Daniel had barely spoken to any of them since it had happened, not even to Jack, his best friend. Not that Jack hadn't tried everything he could think of to get his friend to open up and talk. Jack knew he'd been pretty effectively shut out, but he'd force his way if he had to. He knew that Daniel would have to talk about it sooner rather than later or it would just eat him up from within. Jack knew he'd not handled his own grief very well after his son Charlie had died, but Daniel had been there to stop him from making a big mistake and now Jack planned on returning the favour.
He hoped the mission would provide them with the opportunity to sort things out between them and the team in general. He knew Teal'c still felt incredibly guilty for the part he'd played in Sha'res death, even though Daniel had assured Teal'c that he understood and forgave him.
If nothing else, the ruins the M.A.L.P had shown on the planet would keep Daniel's mind occupied for a while. It would also give Jack the time to relax and do some fishing in the nearby lake, something he was very much looking forward to. 'Daniel' he called, moving closer.
Daniel looked up quickly as Jack's voice startled him from his thoughts.
'Oh.....uh...sorry' he stammered, pushing his glasses back up his nose.
'The ruins, which way?' Jack repeated, running a hand through his grey silver hair as he tried to keep the exasperation from his voice.
'Uh....that way' Daniel pointed to the nearby woods that lay several hundred yards ahead of them.
Behind them lay open fields, but other than the Stargate and the DHD, there was no sign of anything manmade, not even a path.
'Ok, Teal'c you take point, Carter your with Daniel and I'll watch our six'
'I thought we hadn't detected any lifeforms on this planet?' Daniel frowned slightly.
'We didn't, but you can't be too careful' Jack replied, picking up his pack before setting off.
'Just how far are these ruins?' asked Jack after they'd been walking for about an hour through the woods.
'We should have reached them about half an hour ago, sir' Carter replied ' they weren't more than a couple of miles away.'
Jack raised his eyebrows in question.
'So, what? We're lost?' he asked sarcastically.
Carter shrugged not knowing how to reply.
'We should be right on top of them'
'They should be here, O'Neill' Teal'c put in.
Carter gave him a grateful look.
'Do you see any ruins?!' Jack demanded sarcastically, he was getting more than a little annoyed at running around in circles and the lack of answers he was getting.
A hesitant voice interrupted him.
'Um...Jack' Daniel tapped him on the shoulder.
'What is it?' he asked trying to keep his voice calm.
Biting the archaeologist's head off would be counterproductive to his plans. Daniel pointed into the woods and Jack followed his gaze, but saw nothing. He gave his friend a questioning look.
'I...uh....I thought I saw a rucksack' Daniel mumbled uncertainly, wondering if he'd been hallucinating again. 'But I guess not'
'No DanielJackson, I saw it also' Teal'c reassured him.
Jack looked at the big Jaffa.
'Then where is it?'
'It vanished' he stated
Jack regarded Teal'c incredulously.
'Vanished?'
'Yes O'Neill. One moment it was there, the next it was not'
'okaaay' Jack drawled.
He turned to Daniel who was looking rather relieved that someone else had also seen it.
Jack realised he was probably remembering the last time he'd thought he'd seen something. Machello's bug had infected him, making him appear schizophrenic, whilst waiting to attack Teal'c's goa'uld symbiote.
Jack knew they would have to prove to Daniel that they still believed in him.
'Ok, lets take a look around. Teal'c your with Carter, Daniel your with me' Jack ordered 'report back in half an hour'
Jack and Daniel headed towards the spot where the bag had been seen, whilst Teal'c and Carter headed in another direction.
'See anything?' Jack finally asked after searching the spot that Daniel had indicated
Daniel shook his head.
They made there way around the area, searching thoroughly until their half an hour was up, but they found nothing.
Seeing Carter and Teal'c approaching, Jack could already tell that they'd not had any more luck than Daniel and himself.
'We didn't find anything, sir' Carter confirmed his thoughts.
Jack sighed,
'Ok kids, I think it's time to set up camp' He decided, looking at the darkening sky.
The planets two moons had already made an appearance.
'Carter, you and Daniel get a fire going and sort us out a meal. Teal'c and I will set up the tents and secure the perimeter. We'll try again tomorrow.'
Unbeknownst to SG-1, a young pair of eyes watched as they set up camp. The eyes belonged to a 14-year-old girl, who wondered if the strangers would be able to help her, but until she knew for sure, she would have to be careful around them.
Earlier she'd almost been caught when she'd forgotten about her rucksack. She'd been busy keeping the ruins from their view but she knew it wasn't an excuse for such a rookie mistake. What would the twins think if they knew? She settled into her sleeping bag within the ruins and fell in to a light sleep, which allowed her to keep up the telepathic illusion. Tomorrow she'd make a decision.
Jack crept up to Teal'c's tent, intending to wake him up for his watch.
'Teal'c!' he whispered loudly 'it's 2.00.'
Teal'c nodded, got up and made his way to the fire.
Jack was about to enter his own tent and get some sleep, when he heard sounds coming from Daniel's tent. He could feel Teal'c's eyes upon him as he made his way to Daniel's tent.
Poking his head in, Jack could see that his friend was caught up in another nightmare and judging by the words he caught now and then, it involved Sha're.
Reaching for his friend, Jack gave him a gentle shake.
'Danny, wake up' he whispered loudly.
Daniel sat up suddenly, almost colliding with Jack. Jack placed a hand on his shoulder, hoping the contact would ground him to reality.
'S'okay, you were dreaming' Jack reassured his friend, rubbing his shoulder and trying to catch Daniel's eyes with his own.
Daniel pulled out of his grasp, not willing to meet Jack's eyes.
'Sorry' he mumbled
'Don't be' Jack told him, 'You wanna talk about it?'
'No!' Daniel shook his head vigorously, 'I can't. Not yet' he tried to explain upon seeing the hurt look cross Jack's face.
Jack nodded, 'Get some sleep' he suggested before going back to the fire where Teal'c sat watching.
'Is DanielJackson alright?' the Jaffa asked quietly
'I'm not really sure' Jack sat beside Teal'c with a sigh.
'Was the nightmare of Sha're?'
Jack nodded reluctantly, not wanting to lie to his friend.
'He won't talk to me though, or anyone else for that matter. He's trying to pretend that everything's fine when it's not. I don't think he's even cried since...'Jack trailed off.
'I killed her' stated Teal'c
Jack grimaced.
'It wasn't your fault, Teal'c. You did what had to be done'
The Jaffa didn't say anything, but Jack knew he wasn't convinced.
'Anyway, you know what Daniel's like. I'm afraid that if he doesn't start talking to someone soon, it'll all catch up to him when we least expect it'
They sat together in silence a while longer before Jack finally headed for his tent, intent on getting at least a little sleep and hoped that Daniel would too.
