I Was Just Flying Along...
Once far, far away on a small, isolated, tranquil world there stood an ancient stone ring in the middle of a vast prairie. In a circle around the stone ring there were seven pillars, each as tall as it and carved with similar glyphs. This ancient monument stood untouched by the trials of time and weather and man for untold generations. Tall prairie grasses swayed in the wind over the rolling hills as far as the eye could see. Just over the horizon was a shoreline and in the other direction, a long and ragged mountain chain.
"This sounds like a nice peaceful planet, for once!" declared Colonel Jack O'Neill as he looked up from the report in his hands.
Across the briefing table, Teal'c nodded, "Indeed."
Major Samantha Carter smile din amusement at her team. She couldn't wait for their next mission. A simple information-gathering and exploration trip with no evil Goa-uld, Jaffa troops, superstitious natives, or anyone else who might shoot at her was as close to a vacation as she was likely to get anytime soon. And Dr. Daniel Jackson would be happy, too, with so many artifacts to translate.
"Good." General Hammond agreed, "You leave at 14:00 hours tomorrow."
