Chapter One
Jack O'neall fidgeted in his chair. He really had been trying to pay attention to Daniel but had found it hard after listening for well over an hour about how fascinating some rocks were. He glanced up to see his bored expression had been noticed by Sam. He grinned she smiled slightly and turned back to Daniel's speech. Jack had not yet taken his eyes off her. She was everything he liked in women beautiful, blonde, smart, and funny. But unlike other women she was the one women he couldn't have. She was his major and he was her colonel, military regulations.
He looked over at Teal'c he wasn't sure but thought maybe the jafa was asleep with his eyes open. Even the general was gazing off without meaning.
"Daniel as fascinating as this is for you can you please get to the point!" Jack said. Daniel shot him a look but finally did get to the point.
"The story these markings tell says that the go'auld came to this planet but left it soon after leaving the habitants unharmed, I think it would be a really good idea to find out why."
"But there weren't any sign of humans from the UAV Daniel" Sam said.
"Yes I know that's probably because the inscription says the habitants live on the surface and the Stargate is in a cave." He responded.
"General, permission to give the residence of P4X yada yada yada a visit." Jack said.
"Granted, you leave at 08:00 hours tomorrow morning, dismissed." Said the general standing up. The members of Sg-1 picked up there things and headed off.

At exactly 08:00 Sam stood ready to leave in the gate room. She had been there right to the second like always. She and Teal'c were never late, Daniel and Jack however were another story.
"major Carter I have a question about something O'neall said."
"Shoot Teal'c," she said
"Shoot what major Carter?"
"No I mean ask" Teal'c looked slightly puzzled but asked his question.
"When I went to speak to Daniel Jackson I heard O'neall say, no the best part is definitely the ass, then Daniel preceded to claim it was the legs, what does this mean." Sam blinked, and looked at him. She was rescued from having to answer the question when the cornel and Daniel decide to show up. Daniel's pack was weighed down by books as usual and the cornel adjusted his hat.
"Good morning campers" he said in his usual pleasant tone "If you look straight ahead you will see a wormhole engage and lead us to a planet several billion miles away." Sam smiled, she couldn't help it her CO always made her smile. As she did every day she pushed her feelings for him to the pit of her stomach and took her usual professional tone to him.
"Morning sir." She said. He smiled at her but was distracted from saying anything back because the wormhole engaged.
"Lets go" Jack said, and bounded up the steps to the gate followed closely by his team.

After several hours on the planet they had turned up little. Sam had found what she thought might be a way to the surface but wasn't sure and Jack didn't want them getting lost in a maze of tunnels when Teal'c spotted 2 other cave entrances. Daniel busied himself with writings on the walls and Teal'c watched over him. Jack and Sam sat by the gates steps chatting.
"No I swear I caught one this big at my cabin" he held his arms about a meter apart to indicate the size of a fish.
"Really" she replied in a tone that sounded less then believable. Jack just smiled at her. They did this often when Daniel got distracted, talking about things that neither really cared about, there gentle flirting kept them close but not over any lines drawn by their military ranks.
"Sir, it looks like Daniel is going to be a while, maybe we should explore a cave or 2, if we both go we can keep track of our way better" Sam suggested. Jack was bored and a chance to be alone with Sam was appealing even if they were just exploring a cave.
"Alright Carter, we'll go and let Daniel play with his new toy." He said indicating the walls with what looked like a bunch of scratches to him.
"We're going to check out a couple of these cave entrances keep in radio contact." Jack ordered as he and Sam left towards the nearest cave entrance.
They hadn't gone far when Sam thought she felt a tremor.
"Sir, did you feel that?" she asked
"Yeah I was just about to ask you the same question" he replied. He pressed on his radio, "Daniel did you guys feel that?"
"Yeah" Daniel replied "Maybe you should head back" another tremor, much stronger hit.
"We're on are way" Jack said. The ground shook again and Sam stumbled, Jack grabbed her arm to steady her, contact between them sent electricity through both of them. But the moment was lost when another tremor hit and rocks began to fall. They ran as fast as they could back towards the gate. By time they came into the main cave where the gate was the tremors had gotten worse, knocking rocks loose and causing them to stumble. Daniel was already dialing home at the gate. The wormhole was established and Teal'c sent the code through. Rocks fell everywhere and Jack and Sam dodged as many as they could.
"Go!!" Jack screamed. Daniel hesitated and Teal'c had to pull him through the gate before he was crushed by a rock. Sam and Jack were closing in on the gate. We're going to make it Jack thought, but just then a huge rock smashed open the ground in front of them and they fell over 10 meters to the rocky bottom knocking them both unconscious.
