Colonel O'Neill stepped through the Stargate and onto solid land. He looked around to see the rest of his team standing around the area before his stare came to the landscape. It was a large field, with a forest in the distance. A few buildings were nearby and a number of civilians were as well.
"Colonel, this looks like a more primitive planet than us," Carter called to him.
"Appearances can be deceiving Major. Remember the Nox?" he reminded her.
"I remember that sir," she replied, walking away.
O'Neill glanced at a small stone tablet hidden in the grass near the gate and saw writing on it.
"Hey Daniel, come over for a minute. Here's something for you. Think you can translate this?" asked O'Neill, kneeling in front of the stone.
The doctor hurried over to where the tablet was laying. He studied the writing carefully. Teal'c and Carter were soon there as well, watching him.
"What do you make of it Daniel?" asked Carter. "Can you read it?"
"It's amazing. This is a language I've never come across before. It doesn't even resemble anything either I've ever seen either. I'd want to study it longer and possibly translate it if I had enough time," Daniel said, obviously fascinated.
"Fine, stay here until we get back. Major, stay with him and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble," O'Neill ordered, turning around. "Teal'c, let's go check out the people here."
He came face to face with a sword, as did Teal'c, Carter and Daniel when they turned around.
"On second thought, maybe not," O'Neill said with a sigh.
Two of the turned towards each other and started to talk. Daniel closely listened to them with obvious curiousity.
"Hey Daniel, any idea what they're saying?" whispered Carter.
He shook his head.
"It's a language I've definately never come across. I don't think anyone here on this planet knows English," Daniel replied.
Teal'c raised an eyebrow as the two people continued to talk in their strange language. They ran off, heading to a nearby village.
"Their garb is most unusual and so is their language," he mused. "I am not sure what will happen once they return."
"Yeah, the problem right now is what the heck were they saying? Heck, if neither you or Daniel know what they're saying, we could be going to our deaths for all we know. I don't want that to happen yet," O'Neill complained. "And their voices sound really weird, just like the Goa'uld or Tok'ra."
"It is probably not their fault O'Neill," Teal'c told him.
"But it still gives me such a warm feeling just knowing that. Some other race that reminds me of those things called the Goa'uld. Slimy parasites," he replied sarcastically.
"But we are not of the race of the Goa'uld dear sir. We are a different race altogether and I sincerely hope you don't compare us again with that evil," came a female voice. "For if you do, I do not care talk about what we could do."
The four looked to see an approaching woman, dressed in a white robe, along with the two that left the group. They were astounded by this statement and stared at the woman with awe.
"Carter, did she just say what I think she said?" asked O'Neill, glancing over at her.
"Yes, she did sir. She just spoke English," Carter replied.
