A/N: I have been working on this story for a while. It's not nearly completed, but I thought I'd see if it's worth continuing. This story takes place when Sam's a Major and Daniel hasn't died yet.

Spoilers: Um, none so far, I think. I'll post a warning if that changes.

Summary: On a routine mission, Sam is taken by a Goa'uld. (I know, lame summary.) SJ later

"Chevron Seven Locked!"

"SG-1, you have a go."

The team of intergalactic heroes made their way to the vertical shimmering pool ahead of them, Major Samantha "Sam" Carter out in front.

"So remind me, why are we going to this planet that seems to have nothing but trees, trees, and more trees?" asked Daniel.

"Something to do with the electri- . . . you know, I don't really know", replied Jack O'Neill, "Go ask Carter, she's the one who's excited about this place."

"Right", Daniel said, not really wanting to know.

"C'mon guys, the gate isn't going to be open forever!" Sam yelled, just before entering the event horizon.

"Oi, I can tell this is going to be a fun trip!" Jack said, sarcastically. Teal'c just stared at him and raised his eyebrow. "Indeed".

With that, the rest of SG-1 stepped through the gate.

Sam had already started into the woods when the other three reached the planet.

"Carter, maintain radio contact every 20 minutes. You have 1 hour. If you don't find anything by then, I'm scrubbing the mission. The Simpsons are on tonight!" Jack called, "Oh and keep us informed on what you find."

"Yeah, we wouldn't want to miss out on anything important", Daniel muttered to himself.

After 20 minutes of bouncing a tennis ball back and forth between Jack and Daniel, they finally heard something over the radio.

"Colonel, I found some interesting properties of the atmosphere relating to the electricity in the neur- . . ."

"Carter! Jack said, interrupting her, "Did you find any cool weapons?"

"No, but . . ."

"Then save if for the science geeks back home", Jack said into the radio.

"Yes sir. I still have some more tests to run though", she said, disappointment creeping into her voice.

"We'll be right here, don't you worry, Carter", Jack said, rubbing his eyes.

6 minutes . . .

7 minutes . . .

By now, Teal'c had joined in, passing the ball back and forth.

"I do not see why we were need on this mission, O'Neill", Teal'c said.

"Aw, Carter practically begged Hammond to let her go when she saw some of the readings from the MALP. I guess when she said 'her' Hammond assumed we'd all be delighted to accompany her", came Jack's reply.

"I do believe General Hammond is aware of your dislike for these kinds of missions, O'Neill", Teal'c said.

"Sarcasm, Teal'c", Jack said, rolling his eyes.

"You know, normally I wouldn't mind a mission like this because there's usually some signs of civilization, but here . . ." Daniel said, looking around," There's nothing, not even little signs of civilization."

"Indeed", Teal'c said, surveying the area with great disinterest, "I believe this is the most boring planet we have been to."

"No, there was that desert planet with nothing but sand for miles and miles. Even Carter was bored", Jack retorted.

Daniel winced, "Yeah, that was bad."

They each lapsed into silence once more and continued to toss the ball back and forth.

18 minutes . . .

Teal'c suddenly stood up, obviously listening for something. "O'Neill, I believe a h'tak vessel is approaching."

"What!?" Jack stood up as well.

"I though we'd determined this planet was well out of Ba'al's domain", Daniel said, confused.

"It appears to be heading towards Major Carter's position."

"Crap!" Jack's hand went immediately to his radio, "Carter, come in!"

"Sir, I think . . ." She never got the chance to finish. Over the open radio channel, they could hear the sound of a ring transporter.

"Damn it! Carter!" Jack yelled futilely into the radio.

Please review. As I said before, I don't know if I'm should finish this, so please give me your input. If it's really bad, just say so.
