Sam led SG-1 through the gate for the first time as their Commanding Officer.
When
the team emerged Sam looked around for a minute and looked at Daniel
and Teal'c who where both looking back at her waiting for her to give
orders. Sam had another quick look around and saw the path leading
from the Stargate through a woodland. "Teal'c you cover the rear
I don't want to be ambushed on my first mission in charge" Sam
said as she motioned to Daniel and Teal'c to follow the path 'Lets
see where this leads.
After about an hour they came to the edge of
a clearing and Sam motioned them to stop. Within this clearing they
could see a village and people milling around what looked like a
market. After a few minutes Sam said 'lets introduce ourselves and
she gestured for them to move into the clearing. As they moved into
the clearing and towards the village market the smell of cooking and
incense filled the air.
The locals looked stunned to see strangers
in their village and one man pointing towards Teal'c shouted
something and men with spears and bows came out of a nearby building
and pointed their weapons at the team. Sam and Daniel looked at each
other then without a word Daniel moved forward slightly and spoke.
"We are visitors we do not wish to harm you" he said as he
lowered his weapon, as he did so Sam did the same but Teal'c was
still pointing his Staff "Teal'c" said Sam as she gestured
for him to lower his weapon "we don't want to give them a reason
to attack us." Teal'c lowered his staff.
"I think they
must have a problem with snake heads and Jaffa as a believe it is
Teal'c they are aiming at." Daniel said to Sam.
Teal'c said
to the people "I am no longer in the service of the Goa'uld I
believe them to be false Gods." The men brandishing weapons did
not budge they kept their weapons fixed on their target. Sam moved
forward. "I am Cap", she stopped herself mid sentence "Lt
Colonel Samantha Carter we come from a planet called earth. We come
to make allies with your people, we do not wish to harm you."
"If
that is the case why do you travel with a Jaffa our sworn enemy?"
asked a man who had moved to the front of the armed men as Sam had
been speaking "and why are you a woman in charge?"
"Teal'c
is a valued member of our team he has saved us from the Goa'uld and
he now has no elegance to them. As he as already said he believes
them to be false gods and no longer does he worship them or fight for
them." Sam said as she looked from the man to Teal'c
"I
fight for the freedom of all enslaved races and to rid us of them. Lt
Colonel Carter is a fine warrior and leader and I am honoured to
serve"
The man stood and listened then told his men to lower
their weapons. "Come Come" he said to SG-1 as he gestured
towards the largest building situated in the centre of the Village.
Daniel and Teal'c looked to Sam and she gestured for them to
follow.
"I am sorry about the welcoming committee the man
said we cannot be to careful a day ago we where attacked by a group
of Jaffa and 10 of our women were taken. They left through the
Chaapa'ai. I'm Marhak leader of this Village."
"Sam
Carter, Daniel Jackson and Teal'c" Sam replied and pointed to
Daniel and Teal'c as she said their names.
"We may be able to
help you if you want to try and get them back." Daniel
said
"We'll need to speak with General O'Neill before we go
off fighting a Goa'uld" Sam said to Daniel "but I think we
should try and help in anyway we can."
"Did you or
anyone see the symbols they dialled when they left?" continued
Daniel
"I did" came a voice from behind them. Sam turned
and looked to where the voice was coming from, it was one of the
soldiers from before
"Could you draw them for me" asked
Daniel offering him some paper and a pencil.
"I'll try"
he said taking the paper and pencil from Daniel. A few minutes later
he handed it back to Daniel
"I believe this is the right set
of symbols" he said
"Thank you" Daniel replied
"We
are due to report back home in an hour we will try and get some help
for you" Sam said.
"I'll get my soldiers ready"
replied the man who had given them the gate address..
Daniel you
come with me Teal'c you stay and see what other information you can
get.
Sam and Daniel started back towards the gate.
As
they moved through the woodland Sam thought about what she would say
to Jack when she reported in.
When they got there Daniel started
dialling the gate. He was just about to press the last symbol when
the gate sprung into action 'Incoming' he shouted. The two of them
dived for cover in the trees a little way from where they had emerged
just a few moments ago just as the wormhole appeared.
Sam and Daniel watched weapons ready as the event horizon settled and a large group of Jaffa came out. There were to many for the two of them to take on so Sam signaled to Daniel not to make a move then reached for her radio and said into it "Teal'c there is a large group of Jaffa heading towards the village tell the villagers to get ready for an attack." Once the gate shut down the Jaffa started to head in the direction of the village.
Teal'c
acknowledged Sam's radio message and went to find Marhak to tell him
to get his men ready to fight.
"Marhak I have just had word
that a group of Jaffa have just come through the gate and are heading
for the village you must get your men ready to fight." he said
when he found him a few minutes later. "We won't have much time
as the move fast."
Marhak sounded the alarm and his men
formed in the center of the village where they had when SG-1 arrived.
Sam and Daniel waited in the cover of the trees. Once Sam felt it was safe to move off and follow the Jaffa, she gave the signal and they moved off. She made it clear to Daniel that they should try and get alongside the invading Jaffa while keeping distance between them and trying not to make any noise. As the moved quickly and as quietly as possible Sam radioed Teal'c again and with a whisper relayed what was happening
Teal'c's
radio crackled into life again as Sam's voice come over it just
audible "The Jaffa are heading for the village at the speed they
are moving they will be in sight in 30 minutes we are following as
closely as possible."
"Marhak is getting his men
together I will help them defend the village" replied Teal'c
before turning again to Marhak and asking "Is there anywhere
that your women and children will be safe."
"There is a
cave a short distance to the west of here, that would be the safest
place for them."
"You must get them together and take
them there with some protection."
Marhak walked towards his
men and spoke to them before one of them moved off towards the huts
that were the homes of the inhabitants and started to knock on
them.
Marhak moved back to were Teal'c was still standing "I've
told Franrad to get all the women and children together and lead them
to the cave." he told Teal'c when he had reached him.
Teal'c
acknowledged Marhak then contacted Sam again.
Sam
and Daniel were following the Jaffa closely weapons ready in case
they were spotted when Sams radio crackled and Teal'c said "Marhak
is sending the women and children to a cave a short distance from the
village he believes they will be safe there."
Just as Teal'c
finished speaking there was a loud cracking noise and the Jaffa
turned and looked in the direction of Sam and Daniel
"Aray
Kree" one of them said before looking at the others and
continuing "Jankin"
The Jaffa started moving towards the
sound they had heard.
Sam looked at Daniel looking for some
help.
"He said to Stay where you are before telling the
others to search. We must hide."
"Teal'c we have a
slight problem we may have been spotted I'll contact you as soon as I
can." Sam replied down her radio as they tried to find cover.
Just as she was about to release the talk button on the radio she was
hit in the back with a staff blast.
Daniel turned towards the
oncoming Jaffa set his Zat gun and shot it towards them before being
hit square in the chest with a Staff blast himself.
Two
Jaffa moved towards Sam and Daniels unconscious bodies picked them up
and took them back to the others.
"Take them back through the
Chappa'ai" their commanding officer said.
The two Jaffa
turned and headed for the gate while the rest of them moved off
towards the Village again.
Sam regained consciousness
and looked around to see Daniel star to come round.
"Where
are we." Daniel asked
"I'm not sure looks like we're in
a Goa'uld holding cell but I don't know were."
The sound of
metal clunking along filled the corridor outside the cell and two
Jaffa appeared at the cell door. The cell door opened, the Jaffa
entered and looked form Sam to Daniel before taking hold of Daniel
saying "You will come with us". Daniel got to his feet as
the Jaffa tugged him towards the cell entrance. Once they were on the
other side of the door it was closed again leaving Sam alone.
Daniel was marched along corridors and into a large room deccorated in the usual hieroglyphs with a good throne like seat centered on the opposite wall to the door they had just entered through. The Jaffa forced Daniel to move into the center of the room and then down onto his knees.
