A/N:Ok, kill me, its been over a year. I know, I'm AWFUL! In my defense I had a baby. That's right, I have a good excuse. Now, onto the important part.

Teal'c stopped for a moment to listen, "There does not appear to be any Jaffa currently pursuing us." He told the group. Aldwin/Elliot was in his arms, Jack/Lantash was leaning on MajorCarter.
Carter blew out a breath in relief. "Good, we haven't heard bombers in a while. Let's try the surface. Lantash? How do we use the crystals to tunnel up to the surface?"
Lantash looked up, confused. The Colonel's body was dehydrated, sore, and exhausted. "Surface?"
Sam looked worried, "Yeah, we wanna get up there and get some water."
"Diamond." Lantash panted at her as he licked his lips. He really needed that water.
Sam pulled out the few crystals she had left and searched for the diamond shaped one.
"Carter" Jack spoke up, "Tash said the Tok'ra are probably transmitting an alert to warn their people. Something about Long range sensors detecting incoming ships and transmiting signals to space."
Sam found the diamond crystal and held it up for Jack to examine. She wasn't sure it was the right one, there were several diamond-like crystals.
Is it the right one tash?
Yes it is Colonel.
Jack nodded to let her know it was right.
"Could we reprogram one to signal Jacob and Daniel?" Sam asked them.
It is possible.
"Yessir, yabetcha!"
I said maybe Colonel!
Teal'c glanced at the Colonel, "Where are they?"
Lantash, upset with the Colonel for his "paraphrasing" took control again. "There are four located 25 earth miles from the Chappa'ai. Each is located due north, south, east and west. We are, at our current position 3 miles from the Chappa'ai."
Teal'c hoisted Elliot/Aldwin as Carter planted the diamond crystal in the wall. "Either way, we have to get to one of those sensors." She said.
A tunnel appeared, leading to the surface, "We should start towards one then." And the group moved to, hopefully, freedom.
They had made it to the surface, but there were many craters from the bombing. Carter headed off to find some water while Jack/Lantash and Teal'c made a stretcher for Elliot/Aldwin
Teal'c glanced up as he heard the oh, so familiar whine of death gliders, "There are gliders patrolling the area."
Tash, how long til the sensor?
There are twenty two point eight earth miles until we reach the sensor
"We've got about 23 miles to go in that direction" Jack pointed away from the sound, thankfully, as Sam came back with water. She handed it to him and he drank greadily.
You should imbibe that slowly Colonel, or our body will get sick.
Our? Using the possessive again Tashy?
Do not call me Tashy.
"With this terrain, I figure we can make a mile every fifteen minutes. That should hopefully put us at the sensors in under nine hours." Sam told them
Ah, Samantha, you really are a genius. For a human.
I take offense at that!
Teal'c put Elliot/Aldwin on the stretcher they had made and he and Jack picked him up as the group started off in the direction Jack had pointed out.
Do ya really think humans are stupid, tash?
Of course not. Samantha is merely exceptional compared to others of her species. It is one of the things I love about her.
Lantash always got rather passionate when he spoke about Samantha. He started squirming in Jack's neck. It was WEIRD!
Yeah, me too. She's supergirl!
Who?
Oh fer cryin' out loud! SUPERGIRL! She's… oh forget it.
Jack was starting to get into the conversation. It was kinda nice not to have to be quiet. He LOVED talking. He pulled aside a tree branch as he spoke to Lantash and let it go to smack into Teal'c who was right behind him. Whoops.
Perhaps you could show me a memory?
Nah, When we get back home I'll just show ya the movie!
Home?
Yeah, to our house!
Our house?
Whoops, did NOT mean to invite the snake to enjoy his house.
Er… my house, MY HOUSE!
As you wish, Colonel.
Tash, maybe you could call me Jack? Colonel's way too formal.
Very well, Jack.
Carter had moved off as she was on point. "Colonel." She pointed at some bushes. She moved them aside to reveal the sensor.
"Nice" Jack commented
Tash, get to work, you've got control.
Thank you, Jack.
Lantash knelt down to work on the sensor
Sam hovered and said, "Let's hope this works"
