Jack twisted around when multiple female shrieks tore through the air. His eyes quickly found where it was coming from and he quashed down a grin. Sheppard was currently apologizing as best he could and slowly closing a door. He looked a little embarrassed, probably not by what he saw, but because he was invading someone's privacy. When he finally closed the door, he stared down at his feet and sucked in his bottom lip.

"Did we learn anything interesting?" Jack asked, raising his eyebrows at Sheppard.

"Only that whoever this place belongs to has a harem," Sheppard replied, looking a little intrigued.

"Lucky bastard," Jack muttered with a chuckle. "Oh well, no time to dwell on that. We've got more doors to check out. From now on though, listen for voices first. We've been lucky so far."

Sheppard nodded and went to the next door, pressing his ear against the wood. He must not have heard anything because he opened the door. When he did, his face broke into a grin. "Jackpot!" he exclaimed, heading into the room.

Jack was curious as to what the man found, so he followed behind him. Seeing what was laid out on the table, he called Ronon in as well. Sheppard had stumbled upon an excellent find! Their equipment. Eagerly, they dove into the pile of black cloth and metal and began pulling out different objects. Boots, then jackets, vests and weapons and finally, their packs full of extra ammo, food and canteens.

Grabbing Carter's stuff as well, they turned to continue searching and came face-to-face with a very, very large man.

"Halt, or I will kill you!"

Ronon pulled his weapon and fired at the man. He fell to the ground with a thud.

Sheppard looked between the man and Ronon as he let his gun hang at his side. "You do have that on stun, right?"

"Dunno," he replied with a shrug.

Jack looked at the weapon. He still really wanted one of those. But he was content with his P90 for now.

"Okay kids, we've got our stuff back, which is a major bonus, so let's get Carter and get the hell out of here," he said, stepping over the big guy and out into the hall.

They resumed checking doors, skipping ones that sounded like they were occupied. After about five minutes, they found something.

"Sheppard," Ronon growled, "take a look at this."

Jack followed Sheppard into the room that Ronon was in and looked around.

"What the hell?"

"My sentiments exactly," Jack added.

The room was quite large, which wasn't really a surprise. What the room contained, however, was. The walls were lined with dormant consoles that looked very Ancient-y.

"This looks like one of the research labs we found on Atlantis," Sheppard commented as they strolled around, watching everything come to life.

"What were they researching?" Jack asked the room.

"Even if I knew how these things, I have no idea how to read Ancient other than a few words here and there," Sheppard replied, looking down at a particularly bright console. He pressed a few keys and watched the text on the display screen scroll by. "I've watched McKay do this enough, you'd think I'd know how by now…"

"Ronon, you got anything over there?" Jack asked, turning to the man on the other side of the room.

He pointed up. Jack followed his line of sight and saw a square hatch in the ceiling.

"Wonder where it goes," Ronon muttered, looking up at it.

"Well, we could always find out. Sheppard, give me a hand," Jack requested, waving Sheppard over. They began looking for things to drag over so they could reach the high ceiling.
