Chapter 4
They reached the end of the forest and gasped. They where standing on a large hill looking down at a magnificent city, it's beauty was more than enough to rival Athens, the centre of Greece on Earth. The buildings were mostly ground level but some had upstairs. There was a large brick building that looked more modern. It was called the area of justice. It looked similar to an early twentieth century court, but Daniel thought that the politics would be early nineteenth century. There was a big market area with many stalls, it was crowded, Daniel thought they looked like they were at a fifties revival party!. Then in the centre of the town there was a large decorative building, this world's version of a town hall thought Daniel.
"Jack this is strange, They have early Twentieth century style buildings and ancient Greek style building mixed together in one town. They have eighteenth century style weapons, fifties hairstyles and clothing but there attitudes are similar to the late nineteenth century people in Britain" noted Daniel. " It seems many periods of development have merged together, I wonder if they know the theory of relativity!" said Sam. "Lets not ask about that for know hey Major" ordered O'Neill " I noticed that they had developed decent bricks". Daniel looked at him defensively, "that came under twentieth century buildings". Sam looked at them both and realised this could cause trouble in the team. "Yes it's strange that they should have weapons so far behind us but buildings so near to are current state of technology" she said trying to keep the peace. "Maybe they have no use for advanced weapons" interrupted Teal'c, Sam nodded.
Alexander interrupted them, "Come now, you will learn more about us later at the feast. Let us go and prepare, Cadmus will take you to your rooms were you will be brought fresh clothes for tonight". "Like fifties clothes" said Jack to Daniel. Daniel shrug, "lets go and find out".
They continued down the slopes of the hill and into the village were they were greeted by many of the Kribanos. They were all very excited to here about were they came from but Alexander told the people that the story would be told that night at the feast. Then Cadmus lead them to there chambers. "Do you reckon it will be a five star hotel" muttered Sam to Jack, " No, we'll be lucky if it's three star if Cadmus is anything to go by" he replied.
"Here, these are your quarters" said Cadmus "Daniel and Teal'c in that room, Daniel you go in chamber one and Teal'c in chamber two". " You two are in that one" he said pointing at Sam and Jack. "There's only one chamber!" said Sam looking around the room. "We have no more space, my servants will be along with you clothes shortly, meanwhile wash" replied Cadmus as he strolled off down the corridor. "Colonel…!" said Sam, "…What side of the bed do you want!" he said with a cheeky look on his face. "Excuse me!" she said, clearly worried, "relax Major, I'll take the floor!…now we better get washed" he said in a more serious voice.
The quarter was a large 'living room' that was painted a strange white/green colour; it had a couple of chairs and a table all very elaborately decorated. "Nice decor" commented Jack. It had a stone floor, which was partly covered with a patchwork rug. "I won't be very comfy tonight" muttered Jack. "The bed will be really comfy" replied Sam, "take a look". The chamber was a dark crimson colour with a crimson bed that looked very comfy with its two quilts. It had a small dresser in the corner, which was made out of a wood similar to mahogany.
The bathroom was a boring white with a toilet, not a very advanced one, but there was one at least. It was a tall pot with a seat on that the servants had to empty. There was also a hand and face basin that had water supplied with it in a bucket. There was a bath that needed to be filled with buckets of water.
In the next room Daniel and Teal'c had received their clothes and were in the process of getting dressed. "Did people on Earth really wear these clothes forty years ago?" asked Teal'c. "Unfortunately yes, they use to call the boys teddy boys, the men were just weird!" replied Daniel; "I see" said Teal'c wondering why anyone would want to wear such ridicules clothes. "Lets go and see if Jack and Sam are ready" said Daniel already walking out, Teal'c followed.
