Chapter 2
Cam blinked, shading his eyes against the bright amber sunlight. Summer looked around, grinning with glee, and even Teal'c looked intrigued.
"Wow," said Summer, pointing at something behind the Stargate. They were in the middle of a large meadow, trees lining the vast expanse. Cam turned, and nearly fell over. Towering against the bright blue sky, there were turrets, enormous spires that wound their way into the clouds. Crumbling stone towers were silhouetted behind the trees, inscriptions weaving their way around the golden stone.
Sam smiled, and Daniel looked ecstatic.
Summer grinned again, and walked over to her team, who were dealing with the M.A.L.P. "Ok, Maisy, you set up a perimeter with John, Matt, you try to get some atmosphere reading from the M.A.L.P." She looked around, shading her eyes. "We wanna know what we're dealing with."
Daniel squinted at the ruins. "Well, I'm guessing some very powerful race, advanced enough to build that."
"I concur, Daniel Jackson."
Cam joined them, about three metres away from Summer and her team. "You mean the Ancients, right?"
Daniel half shook his head. "Well...no. They had to be very powerful, but there were hundreds, maybe thousands of races capable of building..."
"So, not what we thought."
"Uh...no."
Summer looked up from checking the probe. "Everything ok?"
"Yeah! Fine!" Cam nodded. Daniel looked at him from under his frown. "What?" Cam shrugged, turning away. "It is!"
1 hour later
"So, when did you join the SGC?" asked Cam, panting a little from their walk. They were walking across the meadow towards the ruins.
"What? Oh, about three years ago." answered Summer, struggling to keep up with him.
"Really? I never heard of you before now."
Summer laughed. "Yeah, well, I have defiantly heard of you." She saw Cam staring at her. "Oh, come on! Cameron Mitchell, fearless pilot who helped defeat Anubis' ships over Antarctica? There can't be a single person on Base who hasn't heard of you!"
Cam smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah. But also how much of an asshole you can be sometimes." Summer saw the look on Cam's face, and laughed again. "I know, Daniel talks to other people sometimes!"
"So," Cam hastily changed the subject, but not after he had shot Daniel a nasty look. "You said you had been offworld before."
"Uh-huh. That time when a film crew came to film the Stargate program, and there was that huge battle offworld. When Dr Frasier...uh...died." Summer winced as she said it. That was still a sore spot. She had been friends with Janet, and she had taken three days off work because she just couldn't leave her apartment.
Cam looked away. He didn't know what to say in these situations. Summer hummed a little tune. "Could you..." Cam began, "Stop that?"
Summer looked hurt. "Why?" She grinned teasingly at him. "Don't you like musical songs?"
"No, I just...What musical?"
"Blood Brothers." Summer began to sing quietly. "Tell me it's not true..." she turned to Maisy. She grinned and began singing too. "Say it's just a story," Matt opened his mouth, walking slowly behind everyone, and making Daniel jump. "Something on the news," he sang, harmonizing with Maisy and Summer. John began singing the bass lines, and they all sang out the lines, looking happy and sad at the same time. "Tell me it's not true, though it's right here before me. Say it's just a dream, say it's just a scene..."
"Ok!" Cam shouted. "I get it!"
