Chapter 3
"Nice scenery, what do you reckon Daniel" said the Colonel looking round for any unwanted greeting party. "The Stargate doesn't seem to be a place of worship, it hasn't been used in a while because it had ivy growing on it. Not anymore though the power of the Stargate has blown it straight of" replied Daniel. "It does not look like the Gau'ulds have been here for generations" said Teal'c calmly. They were standing in the middle of a small clearing, Jack reckoned it was once much larger but the trees had been spreading inwards. They were surrounded by trees, there were a few small paths leading of in different directions but none had been used for a long time. "Some sort of forest" commented Jack. "Yes looks like it's an evergreen forest in summer" said Daniel, looking at Jack, he was unsure whether he was meant to answer him or not.
"The probe showed that the boy ran that way" said Carter, pointing in the direction of a stone path which was getting overgrown. " Then that's were we will be going, tomorrow" said Jack. " Tomorrow, why tomorrow" asked Daniel. "It's getting dark so we better camp here" said Jack, " Teal'c get the alarms fitted up around us, we don't know what kind of people are here" ordered the Colonel. "Daniel you sort out the food, while Major Carter puts up the two tents and I sort out the supplies we will need tomorrow for are little adventure into the unknown" continued the Colonel.
When the two tents were put up Jack put the supplies in one and left the other one for Sam. She got to sleep in a tent because she was a women, she didn't mind that, but it meant see couldn't she what was going on outside in the night. The three men slept outside under the stars if the planets had any that were visible.
Daniel made the food and shared it out equally, "Oh my favourite, chicken flavoured macaroni cheese!" joked the Colonel. "Yeah, even looking at this stuff makes me agree with you about the donut thing" commented Daniel, looking at his food with a disgusted expression on his face. "Eechuu, sorry this stuff always makes me sneeze" muttered Daniel, the others laughed at him, they always did. "Okay kids bedtime" ordered the Colonel, "I'll take first watch".
Jack sat down on the steps to the Stargate and scanned the forest one last time before he went to wake Teal'c up to take over the watch. He made his way over as silently as possible so he didn't wake anyone up, he nearly tripped and landed in Sam's tent, luckily he didn't because she would have killed him, she valued her sleep!. He shook Teal'c, "wake up sleepy head its your turn to watch for danger" he whispered. Teal'c raised his eyebrow "I do not sleep, I meditate!". Teal'c took over and Jack went to bed, he was soon asleep.
Teal'c woke him suddenly, half an hour before he was meant to "O'Neill, I hear movement in those bushes" he explained. They woke the other two up and they all raised there guns ready for an attack. Many people from that planet walked out with guns raised and they set the alarm of. " Teal'c turn that darn thing of" commanded Jack "drop your guns we are not here to hurt you" he shouted at the people of that planet. One of the men, obviously the leader signalled to the others to drop there weapons, Jack did the same. "Hello, who are you?" asked Daniel. "We are the Kribanos, I am Alexander leader of this planet" replied the man. Daniel turned to Jack "there ancestors must have been Greek, Alexander is a Greek name and Kribanos was a Greek type of cooker, a cauldron if you like". "Why would they call themselves cookers?" asked Jack. "Are ancestors were once slaves to the gods that had brought them here from Hellas a place in the first world, they referred to themselves as that rather than slaves" said Alexander " who are you and why are you here?". "I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill this is Daniel Jackson, Major Sam Carter and Teal'c. We just dropped by through the Stargate to say hi!" replied Jack casually. The Kribanos looked at him, they were puzzled. "We are travellers, we came through the Stargate" said Daniel, they still looked puzzled. "Stargate or maybe chaapa'ai, no obviously not, lets see Greek, er, asterpule" he kept on trying. " All that come through there are evil, there is forbidden" replied Alexander sharply. "The archiaiostheos used it to enslave are people" he said. "Who did that" said O'Neill, " the archiaiostheos, it's Greek for ancient gods" said Daniel giving O'Neill the I'm all knowing look that he so often had on his face. "That must mean the Gau'uld" said Teal'c in his usual calm way. "Yes Zeus was one of them, he was the theos who brought us here, and said he would return, that day he marked is three days from now" said Alexander. "Friends come back to our great city and feast with us, you are welcome to stay" said the tall blond handsome leader, "meat Tranio, Simo and Jason, they are our guards, also meet Cadmus, he shall give you accommodation in his inn". "Let us go now, come" said Cadmus, as they set of through the forest.
