Chapter 26 – Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

On the sixth day after Jack's departure, views of the gate on Babi's world using the Tinkerer's probes still continued to show a heavy guard. General Hammond and SG-1 were discouraged.

On the seventh morning, more probes were sent through. SG-1 and General Hammond waited with bated breath to see what the plasma screen would show. They were ready for trouble. General Hammond had softened his stance, and two SGC teams plus Teal'c and Bra'tac were on standby for a rescue mission. But no one quite expected what they saw.

A large sign had been erected in front of the gate.

WELCOME TO CAMP DEAD SNAKEHEAD

HOWDY CAMPERS AND VISITORS!

DUE TO MINOR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, WE ARE IN NEED OF THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES:

KID FOOD AND BEVERAGES

CHOCOLATE

BALLS, BATS AND GLOVES

CLOTHING (BDUS FOR ME, DON'T FORGET SOCKS! SOMETHING FOR

CHANAH TOO.)

MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SUPPLIES (NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT – THOSE PATCHES OF THE TINKERER WOULD BE NICE)

At the bottom of the sign were hand drawn pictures of snakes and MREs with big red X's through them.

General Hammond and SG-1 chuckled and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Teal'c, SG-5, and Dr. Frasier's medical team were given the go ahead to leave. The General agreed to let the mildly injured teammates, Major Carter and Dr. Jackson, go along if Dr. Frasier didn't object. She didn't. But Daniel declined, and requested a private audience with General Hammond first. There was something else he wanted to do before going.
