"How overdue is he?" Jack growled.
"Just over an hour, Sir." The young intern at the control panel answered quietly. "We tried radio contact half an hour ago, but received no reply."
"For crying out loud." Jack muttered under his breath.
"Afternoon, Sir." Sam greeted as she stepped into the control room.
"How does he do it, Carter?" Jack demanded vaguely.
"Umm...how does who do what?" Sam replied confused.
"How does Daniel manage to get into trouble on a planet devoid of life?"
"Well, technically PX-2375 is devoid of civilization not life."
Jack gave Sam a sour look and was about to retort when the gate room alarms went off.
"Unscheduled gate activation, Sir." The intern announced.
"He'd better have a good explanation for this."
"I'm receiving a code, Sir...it's not Dr. Jackson. It's SG-4, their sending a text message that they've finished their assignment early."
"Open the iris."
Jack and Sam watched as SG-4 came through the gate. Teal'c was the last through and the wormhole snapped shut behind him. He had barely made it to the end of the ramp when Jack's voice rang out over the intercom.
"Stay there, Teal'c, we're going back through."
"For what purpose?" Teal'c asked.
"Daniel's missing...again."
