Chapter One: Fed - Up

Daniel held the paper firmly between his hands and crossed his feet over, which were resting on the table in front of him. "$5,000 to the person who can come up with the best idea for a sciFi novel" he read, talking to himself, or so he thought.

"Oh i can think of one" came his friend's voice from the door. Daniel closed the paper and looked at the figure. "There's this thing called the Stargate and it's a controlled wormhole that can take you to other planets and there's this whole orgonization surrounding it and they-"

"Jack" Daniel sighed, taking off his glasses.

"Yeh?" Jack said, leaning on the door frame and glaring at Daniel.

"Shut up" Daniel took his feet down from the table and flung the paper on it.

"Oh well, there's gratitude for ya'"

"Gratitiude? for . . . ?"

"Coming to tell you that Hammond wants us for a pre-mission briefing"

"But you didn't come to tell me that, you came to tell me a story about something called the Stargate-"

"Daniel . . ."

"Mmm?"

"Shut up"

Daniel got up and walked over to Jack. "So what's this mission about, anything bad guyie or just simple go exploring and end up dying kinda' thing?"

"How the hell am i meant to know? that's what briefing's are for"

"Well, i wouldn't have guessed that . . ."

Jack moved out the way as Daniel pushed past him, and then followed him down the corridor. "You ok?"

"Why wouldn't i be . . . ?"

"You were reading the paper"

"Beats the weekly fishing guide" Daniel sighed and walked faster as Jack stopped.

"I . . . . how did you know?" then he continued to walk, catching up to daniel just outside the breifing room and they both walked in together.

"Good after noon Dr, Colonal" Hammond said, swaying in his chair.

"Yo General" Jack said, as he took his seat. Daniel nodded to Hammond as if he couldn't be bothered to say hello.

"So are we finally gonna' find out what this is about?" Sam asked, from the look of it, she had been sat there a while.

"Indeed" Teal'c said, with a slight nod, "We have been sat here a long while" then he glared at Jack.

"Hey, not my fault-"

"I never knew we had a mission today. . . ." Daniel said seriously, interupting them all.

Hammond sighed, "Well, you do now. It's nothing goa'uld involed, just the general explore and see what you find"

"So why now?" Sam asked.

"Does there always have to be a reason major?" Hammond asked, Sam looked shocked but shook her head. "Anyway, we sent a maup, it's your general planet, woodland, oxyen. We have no idea wether there is life there"

"Oh yes, the good old two headed aliens . . . Oh there's a good idea for a story Daniel" Jack said casually, but Daniel ignored him.

"So when is this mission schedualed for? an hour? tommorrow?"

"Now"

"Now?" Daniel asked.

"I'm sorry Dr, if that's a problem but i checked the files today, turns out you have a mission"

". . . and you did not know?" Teal'c said, turning his head slowely to glare at Hammond.

"Is this a trial ro something?" Hammond asked. "I'm the general, you have a mission, i'm telling you to go get ready, i expect you to follow those orders"

"No porblem General" Sam said and Jack and Daniel nodded. Teal'c did not respond but stood up with the rest of his team. On the way out Sam nudged Jack.

"Does he seem . . . edgey to you?" she asked.

Jack glared back at the General. "Nope, just the old . . . good old General"

About fifteen minutes later SG-1 were in thier greens, waiting in the gate room. Their contollers fammiliar voice booming over them in the loudspeaker. "Shervron 7 . . . . locked"

The great blue, wave-like beam shot from the Stargate and Daniel sighed. "Is anything wrong Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked, as Sam and Jack began to walk up the ramp.

Daniel looked at the stargate and then at Teal'c. "I was thinking . . . that wave . . . prehaps i've seen it to many times . . . i mean . . . do you know i mean?"

"No Daniel Jackson, i do not believe i do" Teal'c said, but Daniel was already walking away.

Teal'c looked up and saw Sam and Jack pass through the gate and then Daniel and he followed, thinking about what he had said, he sensed Daniel didn't like what he did anymore, he was getting fed-up.
