Jack:
I didn't want to leave her, but apparently we had put on a good show. Jonas looked at me like I had killed his best friend. Teal'c was ready to shoot me and I'm sure that he would have if I even took the slightest move toward Sam again.
We had been moving south for about 10 minutes when we came across a series of stone structures. Ruins by the look of them. Daniel would have been in heaven here, I walked up to the nearest wall and pushed at one of the stones, I don't know why, something just seemed …odd about it.But it moved beneath my touch and the energy beam caught me blind.
Sam:
I had to admit that I was nervous . Did Jack understand 'when did he become Jack to you Sam'. Was there going to be any way out of this hole they had dug for themselves.
At least Conway, Mallory, Nichols and Brower would have a hard time figuring out what was going on, and hopefully they would try and 'persuade' either me or Jack over to their side soon, . The sooner the better as far as I was concerned, I didn't know how long I could keep up the 'damsel in distress, what'll I do without the man I love' routine. I just hoped that they were buying it. The president hadn't told Hammond and Hammond hadn't told me anything about what the NID agents wanted, just that they were coming that morning in airforce uniforms with orders to be assigned to SG1. I just hope this works to keep them from getting to close to the truth and I hope that we can make this world seem boring enough so that their interest would be focused elsewhere. If what Jolinar remembers about this world is true then there is a lot to be gained, keeping the NID distracted by the drama of our 'relationship' was going to be vital. 'Jack, be patient." SG-19 continued west along what appeared to be a game trail. We had been going along the northern rim of a forest from the time we left the StarGate. Just ahead the tree line turned north and the stone steps leading up a steep slope lay just beyond and disappeared into the low canopy. Two stone pillars stood on either side of the steps, covered in some kind of writing.
"This looks familiar" Teal'c chimed in tentatively. " Should we not contact Jonas Quinn to attempt to translate the writing?"
"It says!" Interrupted Brower giving Major Carter and Teal'c a 'why me' look. "Enter all ye who are pure, be not conflicted, bring ye no contention through my doors. Let anger be soothed, let fear be comforted, be at peace. So say I, so let be, that our souls may be lifted and our demons may be purged. Welcome ye seekers to the Temple of Lo'da"
"And exactly how do you know that Captain?" Carter questioned.
"You're not the only officer with a PhD Major, I suggest we take a look."
"I SUGGEST, that we call the Colonel, and meet up before going into any temples with such ambiguous greetings on the door." Unfortunately Brower was already headed up the staircase.
"Sounds like you need your boyfriend to come bail you out of an uncomfortable situation, Major. Can't handle command for even an hour on your own.?" By the end of his statement he had disappeared above the low canopy.
"Captain Brower!! I do not take insubordination lightly, get back down here now!"
There was no response, "Captain Brower !?" What choice was there other than to follow him up and bring him back down, she hated to let arrogant jerks like him win.
She put her foot on the first step before something from her memories said that this was a VERY BAD IDEA …"Teal'c!"
Teal'c:
I was unable to do anything except watch as the green lights danced across Major Carter at the foot of the stairs, as she disappeared I was once again able to move. I looked over at Airman Nichols who seemed somewhat amazed at the situation. "Airman Nichols, please contact Colonel O'Neill and inform him of our current position and situation, then remain here until he arrives. I am going to attempt to follow Major Carter and Captain Brower."
" Uh, I think I should go with you. " It was almost more of a question than a statement.
"I do not believe that would be wise Airman Nichols. Please do as I have said." I did not give him another opportunity to disagree with me, as I too disappeared from his view as I stepped between the stone pillars.
*************************************************
Airman Nichols stared after Teal'c or at least the space where Teal'c had been, he was kind of glad to be rid of the both of them .. Teal'c was pretty much an oversized lackey, basically the dumb soldier type. And Carter, how she ever got to be a major He would never even try to guess. Messing around with her CO, 'I guess the blond isn't just in her hair color.' At least now he could check out what was around here without worrying about their self righteous drivel about leaving worlds alone. No O'Neill was the only one he had to worry about and from the sound of it things wouldn't be to difficult once they were back on earth and the Colonel was dealing with the fallout from a board of inquiry concerning his relationship with one Major Samantha Carter. Nichols was still laughing to himself when Brower came down the stairs again.
"Captain?"
"Airman. Where are Major Carter and Teal'c?"
"They both disappeared when they tried to enter the temple sir, Carter tried to go after you, and Teal'c went after her after he told me to contact Colonel O'Neill."
" Oh Great, we come all this way to keep a closer eye on SG-1 and we loose them before the day is out!!" He turned his back on Nichols. "Mallory, Major Conway. Come in please. We have lost Beauty and the Beast, repeat we have lost Beauty and the Beast. They just disappeared."
Mallory, moved away from where Major Conway stood with Jonas Quinn. "I read you Brower. Ahab disappeared too, Pinocchio is still here though. And he is a scared little puppy, we found some ruins and Ahab decided to play with some rocks. "
" Well We found a temple, and I thought Id try to play with some rocks, but I didn't find anything the temple was empty, apparently Beauty tried to follow me and got all glowy, and the Beast went after her."
"I'll brief Conway and we'll check in with you shortly, Mallory out"
Brower turned back to Nichols. "I guess we wait here."
I didn't want to leave her, but apparently we had put on a good show. Jonas looked at me like I had killed his best friend. Teal'c was ready to shoot me and I'm sure that he would have if I even took the slightest move toward Sam again.
