In the canteen, Daniel and Teal'c sat chewing on something which looked suspiciously like dog meat. Jack and Sam walked in and ordered their lunches, which also was the dog-food-ish meaty thing. They sat with Daniel and Teal'c.

"Danny. T-man!" Greeted Jack as he sat down. Sam just smiled at the archaeologist and the Jaffa.

"ColonelO'Neill." Nodded Teal'c in reply. Daniel just looked up from his food smiled, and went back to prodding it suspiciously with his knife.

Jack smiled and rubbed his hands together enthusiastically. "Well, this looks appetizing!" He jabbed his fork into the goop and let it go. It stayed standing up and the meat made a rather sad sounding gurgle.

Daniel gagged and threw the contents of his plate in the bin.

"You OK Daniel?" Asked Sam.

Daniel nodded uncertainly and went in search of coffee.

Jack was about to take his first bite of the mystery meal when the alarms sounded around the base.

"Unscheduled gate access."

Jack rolled his eyes and taking Sam by the arm walked her to the gate room, with Teal'c stalking in front of them.

"What's up?" Asked Jack as he saw the look on Hammonds face.

"SG5 are returning early."

The iris was open and one by one the whole team walked back through, with the exception of one, Captain Stuart Simon. He appeared to have broken his ankle.

"Colonel Hornsby, what happened?" Asked General Hammond.

"He fell down a cliff sir. We think his ankle may be broken."

Jack shook his head. He wondered idly whether the curse of SG1 was getting gradually passed onto the other teams. He and Sam walked down the corridor together, back to the canteen and the "goop" that awaited them.

"So when shall we have the wedding?" Queried Sam.

Captain Thomas Shelby watched as his CO helped Captain Simon onto a stretcher. He smiled inwardly. He had arrived undetected, and that fool, Simon hadn't even noticed he'd been pushed down that cliff. Now he was so much closer to having his revenge. He had even seen his foe in the room over looking the gate room. He wouldn't have to wait for much longer.
