The next morning, Daniel awoke and found he was the only one still
sleeping. Jack was outside eating, and Sam presumably took Teal'c to look
for the UAV. The girl, however, was not around. He didn't know where she
had gone to, but she wasn't anywhere near here.
Daniel went outside to see what there was to eat, and Jack was, indeed, the only other person there. Daniel settled down next to him and looked at his bowl.
"What is it?" Daniel asked, fixing a bowl for himself.
"Feeb puos.I think she said. I don't know, its good, whatever it is. And try some of the retaw, it tastes like sweet water", Jack said, offering a carved cup.
Daniel cocked his head as he tasted the food and drink. He smiled and nodded, obviously agreeing that it was tasty. He looked around for a moment once he was done.
"They went for the UAV, they'll be back as soon as they find it", Jack answered the archeologist's questioning glance; who again nodded.

Sam and Teal'c had finally found the UAV, after searching all morning. They started down towards it, when something sharp met them in the face. It looked like a broadsword, and it was pointed directly at them.
"Uoy emoc hgourht elcric fo kcor?" one of them asked.
Sam shook her head, not understanding, "I don't know your language. We were just looking for something that belongs to us."
She tried to move past them gently, but they wouldn't let her pass. If the UAV had come this way, she wasn't going to be able to retrieve it without force. She turned around and started back to the cave, Teal'c now in the lead, and the people with the swords staying behind.
Sam just couldn't understand what went wrong. Had they trespassed perhaps? Did they break a law or treaty? Or is their UAV being held by those people? Do they even understand English? So many questions, and not enough answers.
Soon, they were back at the cave, and found Daniel and Jack by a small fire with food cooking on it. There was still no sign, however, of their kind hostess.
"What happened, Carter?" Jack asked, wanting to know why they had returned without the objective.
Teal'c answered the question for her, "We encountered resistance."
"What kind of resistance?" Daniel asked immediately, hoping it would prove to be some sort of clue as to who these people were.
"Swords", Sam said simply, turning back to the blaze.
Just as the word left her mouth, their kind hostess came up; indeed there was a sword on her hip. Jack instinctively raised his weapon, but Daniel pushed it down.
"Where have you been?" Daniel asked, turning on his tape recorder again.
"I t'nod dnatsrednu", she said, looking confused.
Rubbing his head, Daniel pointed around to the trees, hills, and what not that surrounded their position. He could only hope she'd understand what he wanted to know.
"I saw." she began, hesitating.
Daniel's eyes glistened, "What did you see?"
"I saw ni nwot", she said, turning her face away from Teal'c who was standing near Daniel.
"She saw ni nwot? What's a ni nwot?" Jack asked, specifically aiming the question at Daniel.
Daniel threw his hands into the air in frustration. He didn't know what she meant. Did she see someone? Or was it a place? Or perhaps she saw nothing, and that was just another part of her language that he didn't know.
They needed to find their UAV and get back to the 'gate. At least Daniel knew the seventh symbol. The team thanked the girl and headed for the place where Sam and Teal'c encountered the swordsmen. Teal'c and O'Neill had zats. Daniel was, of course, going to try and talk them down; while Major Carter was going to try to find the UAV. What they didn't know, though, was that the kind girl had followed them to where they now stood, in a face off with swords in their faces.
