Popping fresh out of a wormhole and into a rainstorm wasn't Daniel Jackson's idea of a good time. Over the past several years he'd learned to adapt to all sorts of climates and atmospheres but there was one thing that always bothered him, and that was humidity fogging up his glasses. The sky was completely dark and when he set foot onto the grass that both occupied and surrounded the empty plain and Stargate, he grimaced, looking at his black boot, which was now covered in mud. "And I just polished it too," he thought, sighing out loud.
"There seems to be no settlings nearby," Carter said, observing what she could of their immediate surroundings. The planet was the strangest thing, a vast flatland of purely green grass and black clouds that were heavy with rain. Daniel looked at her sideways to show that he had registered what she said, though only a moment had passed before he was staring up at the sky. This was a stupid thing to do for as soon as he craned his neck backwards his glasses were covered in a heavy onslaught of raindrops, which made him scrunch up his nose in annoyance. "Agh," he groaned, taking off his glasses and wiping them with the bottom of his shirt which wasn't yet soaked with the fresh water rain.
O'Neill was the first to step forward, not looking back at the other members of SG-1 as he tried to survey the area through the rainfall, though he was no more successful than any of the team. "Well," he said with a slight shrug of the shoulders, stepping foot onto the moist ground, immediately sinking about two centimeters into the grass and mud. He looked down at his boot, lifting it from the ground to examine the damage. "Let's try and find cover, I don't know about you guys but I already took a shower today." Carter gave a sly smile, Teal'c remained as monotonous as ever and Daniel took a baby step forward, following their leader.
"Sir, excuse me," Daniel piped up after a moment of silence. "But I don't think we're going to find any sort of cover." He nodded his head from side to side and Jack, with a furrowed brow, looked around them. Daniel was right- there seemed to be nothing in the proximity, nothing but grass, miles upon miles of grass. There were no mountains, no trees, no hills, no lakes, no anything. They were in a vast flatland of greenness and with the exception of the Stargate, there was no construction, be in alien or natural, around them. "He's right." Carter stated after giving a quick look around as well. Teal'c nodded in agreement and gave a short, concise: "I do not see any shelter as well."
"Well that makes this a challenge, doesn't it?" O'Neill replied sarcastically, folding his arms and tapping his foot on the muddy ground. The rain was pouring harder down on them now and Daniel could barely see past his own nose, much less his companions. Carter was trying to shield her eyes from the rain and Jack just looked down right angry, arms folded and brow furrowed as he tried to figure things out in their head. The idea of just dialing home right now seemed to be a good one- after all, what could they find on a planet like this? There was absolutely nothing there, or at least, nothing that they could see. The rain acted as a sheet to the surrounding world, blocking them from any sort of proper view of the planet and its inhabitants, if there were any.
"O'Neill, I believe I see something." Teal'c stated after a few minutes of silence as the other three members of SG-1 had been trying to figure out their predicament. The three others turned in the direction where Teal'c had been looking, all of them had thought he was staring into nothing but surely enough, he was right. Carter and Jack noticed it right away, a big black spot amongst all the green and brown of grass and mud. Not a word was said, the four of them simply headed off without thinking. They had handled so much before, they were sure they could take whatever it was that was ten or fifteen yards ahead of them.
Jack was the first to arrive, Teal'c a respective two feet behind him while Carter came in third and Daniel brought up the rear. Jack, as soon as they reached the object, was immediately on his knees, Carter following in suit. Teal'c stood with his staff weapon by his side, looking at their surroundings again, as if he had seen something or expected to see someone soon. Daniel was confused for a moment before he took off his glasses, wiping them and then getting on his knees as well, looking at the object. He soon realized that it was not an object at all, but rather a human, a female human. He stared down at her, brows raised in surprise, the three members of SG-1 who were on their knees sharing looks of equal confusion.
"How did she get here? I didn't see her a minute ago," Jack said, looking to Sam, expecting her to have the answer but the captain just shrugged her shoulders. She was just as clueless as the rest of them. Jack then turned to Daniel. "How about you? You're our lead supernaturalist, right? Any theories?" Daniel rolled his eyes, which did not go unnoticed to Jack. The Colonel simply smirked and stood back up, joining Teal'c in the search for any settlings nearby. Daniel took Jack's spot, kneeling next to the girl and resting his hand on her forehead, dragging his hand down to her neck and any spots of exposed skin, looking for any markings.
Sam was the next to speak. "She's definitely alive, though unconscious. We should get her through the Stargate sir, she may have a concussion." Carter looked up at Jack as she said this, their leader looking down at her and giving a solid nod. Daniel nodded as well, slipping his arms beneath the nameless girl's legs and around her shoulders, holding her on his own. Her garments, a simple black dress that was worn and frayed in some areas, was slimy and wet against his hands and it wasn't a feeling he enjoyed.
Teal'c and Jack, weapons at the ready, lead the other two back to the gate which was not so far from where they stood, Daniel once again bringing up the rear though now with a full grown human in his arms. He thought for a moment he heard her say something but when he looked down again there was no signs that she had awoken or even stirred. Sam dialed in while Daniel tried to keep the girl comfortable, Jack looking considerably wary about their surroundings while Teal'c looking considerably prepared for any attackers that might come.
Only a few moments later, the event horizon was glowing a silver-blue in front of them and Sam and Teal'c had already jumped through, Jack ordering Daniel to go next. Soaking wet and nearly slipping as he entered the wormhole, Daniel held onto the girl very tightly, coming out on the other end safely, followed a few seconds by Jack. The horizon behind them disappeared and a General Hammond who looked rather confused by what was in Daniel's arms was there to greet them. "Quick," Sam said before any words could be spoken. "Let's get her to the infirmary." Daniel nodded, following Sam diligently, leaving a trail of alien rain behind them as they headed for the infirmary and Dr. Frasier's help.
