Daniel was walking down the street with Thai, glancing at the peoples and
the places.
"So you're the only person on this planet who can speak my language? There's so many species on this planet, some that we haven't even encountered yet besides and none can speak English," he said in awe.
"Yes, I am the only one. The Lights tend to stay with the same species, same language though they, the Lights, have their own language that they communicate with. We, the hosts also know the language so we can talk to each other without any cultural problems. The written language you've already seen," she explained.
Daniel narrowed his eyes.
"I have?" he said, confused for a moment.
"On the stone tablet you were looking at when you first came here with your friends. We record our history on those tablets and place them by the Tulna in the event of fleeing this place. I'll translate it for you later if you'd like," she told him.
"If it's not too much trouble," he replied, looking over at a nearby farmer. "Man, I wonder why Jack has such a problem with you people already?"
"What? You mean he's that cheerful self all the time Doctor Jackson?" asked Thai with a laugh.
Daniel nodded with a smile.
"Most times anyway. He's usually been the one to be slightly wary about new cultures that we come across and please, call me Daniel," he told her.
They passed a group of people who were staring at them, not noticing an intruder approaching behind them from the woods. A growl was heard and then there was much scrambling. Thai started to shout orders to them as she ran towards the creature and the others ran away. She stood in front of it as it growled at her. It started to lunge toward her. She took a step back and shielded her face.
"No!!" screamed Daniel, jumping in between the two.
He was pushed to the ground as he felt a sting in his right arm. The two wrestled for a bit before the animal had him pinned down to the ground. It was pulled off him and he gasped for air as he held onto his injured arm. He was shaking all over as Thai knelt by him and looked at it along with all the scratches on his entire body. He groaned in pain as he laid there.
"Doctor Jackson, you need immediate medical attention. This type of bite can be deadly if left untreated," she told him, kneeling beside him and looking at the wound on his arm.
She pulled the torn cloth away on his lower leg to reveal a long and deep scratch.
"What exactly was that thing?" he asked with pain obvious in his voice.
"That was a charst. It's a wild animal here. Now come. My home is not too far from here," he told him as she helped him up to his feet.
The two walked to the house and Daniel limped onto the bed. He continued to gasp for air as he laid his head on the headboard.
A man walked into the room. He appeared to be reptilian with all the scales over his body. To Daniel, he was very blurry, the effects of the wound now kicking in. He squinted his eyes to see him. He heard two voices talking faintly in the distance and felt something being wrapped around his arm, then his leg.
"Thai, who is that?" Daniel said, slurring his words.
"This is Torna. He is my mate. He's going to be joining us back to your planet through the Stargate as you call it. In my condition, he just wants to make sure I'm alright and you are as well. The attacks have been increasing daily. That's one of the major problems now," she replied.
"You mean they're quickly multiplying? That means the place will soon be overrun and will be uninhabitable by humans or anything else," Daniel quietly finished.
"We have to leave. It'd be too dangerous to stay too much longer. We're already in the process of moving to another planet. Many have already left for the Tok'ra homeworld to locate a suitable homeworld for everybody still here. Now take this medicine and sleep," Thai said sadly, putting a hand on his good arm.
She gave him the medication and his eyes were soon drooping. He gave a yawn and he fell asleep on the bed.

Teal'c, O'Neill and Carter walked onto the strange planet. They started to head towards the town and Carter leaned in towards O'Neill.
"Sir, are you sure it's wise to come back? I mean, after the situation with Teal'c and all, maybe we should've just waited until Daniel came back to the SGC with her," she asked.
O'Neill stopped and so did the other two almost immediately.
"Major, we can't let Daniel have all the fun. Besides, we need to show these people that we won't hurt them," he replied.
"I don't know sir. You pointing your gun at an apparently high ranking member of the population might make them think otherwise," Carter protested.
"You know, I was wrong. After, they aren't the Tok'ra or the Asgard or even the Tollan. They actually might help us. Seriously, I don't see that happening but it's worth a shot," O'Neill replied.
"Of course it is O'Neill. We just met these people. We have no clue to their technology. We have to be patient to see what they can offer us," Teal'c said.
The two looked at him.
As they reached the edge of the village, two of the people looked up from what they were doing and ran over to them. They started to talk very fast.
"Carter, what are they saying?" asked O'Neill.
"I'm not sure sir. I mean Daniel can't even understand them and he's the best I know," she replied. "Though I have a feeling they want us to follow them."
They quickly followed them into a house, where they found Daniel asleep on the bed.
"What the heck happened?" asked O'Neill.
Carter looked him over. She came across the bandages on his arm and his leg.
"It looks like he was attacked sir. It appears to have been by a carnivore. Look at all these scratches all over his body and I think he might have sustained a couple of bites by the look of it," she told him.
"Oh man, are these people going to get it now," the colonel growled.
Teal'c looked at the table next to the bed and picked up a piece of paper.
"Major Carter, what about this?" he asked, handing her the note.
She took it from him and read it.
"Colonel, I think you'd better take a look at this before you go right through the roof," she told him, holding out the note to him.
He took it from her as he gave her a strange look. He read it and sighed, balling it up and throwing it across the room.
"He saved her life and now he's paying for it sir. We can't help that," she said. "Maybe we should do as she asks and let him rest for a while before heading back to Earth."
O'Neill had two faces staring at him. He sighed and nodded his head.
"Let's go then," he sighed.
The three wandered outside, the two guards following closely behind them.
"Colonel, the more that I think about it, you're right. Her hair does look like Sailor Moon's only it's brown instead of blonde," Carter whispered to him.
"Yeah, I know. I am, after all, the one who mentioned it to General Hammond. I still don't trust her. She's given us the impression that she doesn't trust us after all. Especially Teal'c because they're in danger from the Goa'uld," O'Neill replied in his usual tone of doubt.
"She never said they were currently in danger from the Goa'uld O'Neill. I believe she mentioned they were under attack several years ago," Teal'c put in from behind them.
"Yeah, whatever. One way or another, I want some answers from this woman when we get back to the SGC. Too many things are already very suspicious in their direction, especially Thai's," O'Neill angrily explained. "They are already on my borderline of species I can't stand already."
