It was a routine survey trip. Two days exploring the remains of a ancient Goual'd built town. On the second day Sg1 woke up to find Daniel missing, all his gear except his remote device were present. They scoured the town and nearby countryside but could not find a trace of him. After six hours the time was drawing near when they had to return to base. With heavy hearts they packed their gear and left. Keeping a close eye on the trail back to the gate hoping to find some sign of their missing friend. They dialed the gate and went through.
General Hammond asked about Dr. Jackson, but they had no answer. His gear was looked over but with no clues for them to find. A search party went back but came up with nothing. After a week, General Hammond ordered SG1 back to work. They left word with their allies and daily life resumed. Two weeks after Daniel's disappearance, the gate opened and Jackson's ID came through. The Iris was opened and after five minutes a man walked through.
Dr. Jackson stepped the gate wearing, dark leather pants, a long tunic, a long leather coat, a sword buckled at his side. He walked down the ramp carefully, limping, his left arm held tightly to his body. When he got to the base of the ramp he found SG1 and General Hammond waiting for him. Daniel ignored the guns pointed at him drew his sword and knelt. He offered the sword hilt first to General Hammond.
"Lord Hammond, I have returned here as duty and honor demands. To make right the many wrongs I have committed. I do not ask for mercy, and do not seek to justify myself or excuse my actions. I only ask that justice be swift."
Daniel remained kneeling his head bent, his body tense as if waiting for a blow. Everyone was perplexed what had happened, what had he done? Teal'c took the sword and Jack tried to get Daniel on his feet. Dr. Jackson refused to move, General Hammond signaled the soldiers. Daniel was dragged to his feet and was taken to the infirmary. He was found to have what appeared to be an arrow wound in his shoulder, slash marks across his chest, and a stab wound in his left thigh. His wounds were treated and he was then taken to a cell. A malp was sent to the planet where Daniel had come from but it was empty. Just a barren wasteland of sand and sky. A scouting party went through but came up empty, the only footprints were near the DHD. The clothing and sword were analyzed and blood was found on both. With no answers and only more questions, all they could do was wait for Daniel to explain. Due to the extent of his injuries Hammond waited till the next day before questioning Daniel.
Jack and two guards came to escort him to the briefing room. They found Daniel kneeling in a corner eyes cast up. Jack asked what he was doing and Jackson said he was seeking forgiveness. Jack asked for what and Daniel refused to answer instead he got to his feet and waited. Jack told him they were going to debrief him and Daniel immediately went to the door. The soldiers and Jack formed up around him and they walked to the conference room. Dr. Hammond, SG1, and Dr. Fraiser were all present. Daniel and Jack sat down and the meeting began.
A/N I know this is rough but it improves greatly. I started writing this story at the start of fiction writing and have greatly improved. I would ask you to give this story a chance and read the first four or five chapters. They're short so it won't take much time. Thank you for taking time to read my story.
