Sam Carter lay under the machine it was complex its grey exterior had no markings, no symbols, nothing! In fact she had taken an hour just to find the control panel, this was like nothing she had ever saw.
Meanwhile the rest of her team weren't so luckily, Daniel had quickly got bored declaring there was nothing for him to translate; consequently he and Teal'c had gone searching for any other signs of civilisations amongst the planets clusters of trees.
Jack was playing with his yo-yo 'supervising' leaning against a wall nearby.
The UAV had shown a very green planet, grass stretched as far as the eye could see, trees were grouped together in small clusters. In one such cluster it had shown energy signatures, hence why Sg1 had been sent out to investigate, arriving they had checked out 2 metres high and 5 wide the circular device, it had giving up none of its secrets that was until Sam had pressed a small dent, a small panel had opened after carefully inspection Jack had allowed her underneath to inspect the inner workings of crystals that made up the machine,
"Carter you done yet" A bored voice called
I'd only been here for about an hour and I needed a lot more time after all it was totally new technology to me. Anyway who was he to complain, I still hadn't fully forgiven them after the Orlin incident, not one of my friends had backed me up all just presuming that I was crazy, but I had a duty at the moment to do my job no personal feelings were allowed.
Frustrated I yelled back
"Sir, I am dealing with a totally alien technology here, I never encountered anything like this, ever, and you expect me to do this in an hour, I need more time and quiet Sir" I ranted realising belatedly I may have overstepped the mark,
"So another hour" he asked, I didn't bother to answer, instead I focused on the mass of flashing lights, wires, crystals and metal in front of me. I noticed that one area seemed hotter than the others, summarizing it must be the power source I reached to grab a sample, with my touch it seemed to light the device up, everything started buzzing, bright white light caused me to squint, faintly I heard yelling it sounded like Colonel O'Neill,
"Sir" I responded wondering vaguely why my voice sounded so quiet, then the pain began I screamed, until the welcoming blackness claimed me.
