As Daniel stepped through the event horizon he saw Jack helping Sam up and Teal'c standing there with a wicker glint in his eye, he would so have to ask him about that later on when they were alone. Daniel looked up as Jack said

'OK then Teal'c and Carter go that way for her samples and me and Daniel will go this way, any questions?'

'Um..Jack?'

'Yeah space-monkey?'

'Well wouldn't it be better if I took Teal'c to look at my artifacts because you know you will get bored and at least you can help Sam whereas all you could do is sit and annoy me.'

'Hey' said Jack trying to sound offended, though he was really very relieved, 'Fine is that ok with you Teal'c?' Teal'c nodded his head in answer and the group split into two pairs and went off in their separate directions.

'Stay in radio contact' Jack shouted after Daniel and Teal'c, and then he said to Sam,' you know how Daniel manages to attract trouble, only safe way to look after him.' Carter giggled like he knew she would and they carried on walking in silence to the area she wanted to do her scientific research or whatever it was she wanted to do, he wasn't quite sure.

As soon as Daniel and Teal'c could not see or hear the others anymore they doubled back and went back to the stargate. As Teal'c kept guard of the surrounding area in case a certain Colonel and Major came back Daniel removed part of the DHD as Janet had shown him how to, he quickly pocketed the piece and they went on their way to see Daniel's 'rocks' as Jack insisted on calling them.

Later when they had all returned to base camp, Teal'c was checking the perimeter, Jack and Sam were putting up the tents and Daniel was cooking the food. As soon as he was sure that they weren't looking he quickly added the mild sleeping powder, which Janet had also given to him, to two of the finished meals. He stirred them to make sure they couldn't tell it had been added and made sure he didn't mix the meals up, he then called the others over and they all started to eat, none of them really talking for they were all extremely hungry after their hectic day. Daniel nodded to Teal'c to show that he had successfully completed his part of 'The Plan' for now.

'So Daniel, how were your rocks?' Jack asked in-between mouthfuls of what was meant to be Macaroni and cheese.

'Great, I think they date back almost 2000 years and seem to tell the tale of when Christ was born, indicating a connection to earth, and that the people who used to live here, or do live here must have been taken from or had close links with earth at some point.'

'Wouldn't that mean that the Stargate was around even then? And then why are some planets way more advanced than us, if we were closely linked?' added Sam.

'I wish I knew Sam, I'm going to have to go back tomorrow and take some samples to carbon date when I get back to earth, to know exactly how old the racks are.' but he was not able to finish his sentence for Jack let out a sudden whoop of joy

'See I knew you thought of them as rocks as well, and now I have proof!!' Jack more or less shouted at Daniel. Daniel let out a sigh and wondered how much longer it would take for the sleeping powder to take affect. As if on cue Jack and Sam suddenly toppled over backwards and were heard to be breathing evenly and deeply, but they seemed unhurt.

'Finally' said Daniel 'I thought it was never going to kick in and I had no idea what to say back to Jack about my 'rocks, as he likes to call them.'

'Indeed' replied Teal'c, as they both stood up to carry out their individual parts of the plan. Teal'c got up and slowly and carefully moved Jack and Sam towards one of the tents, while Daniel went to their bags and quickly put in a chocolate kiss in Sam's with a little card and a pair of Simpson's Valentine socks in Jack's with another little note. He then returned to the fire to keep watch.

Five minutes later Teal'c appeared from one of the tents looking flustered but was smiling slightly to himself. Daniel got up looked in the tent and also smiled, for there was Jack and Sam curled up together in each others arms sleeping peacefully. He was kinda sorry he wouldn't be around for their awakening the next mourning. Daniel and Teal'c stayed up and kept watch for most of the night and then at dawn set off towards the rocks after leaving a note for the others when they awoke in about half an hours time. They could not wait to see if they said anything about it later on, and ask how that had in the end ended up in that position, and why they hadn't been woken to be on watch, hopefully they wouldn't have to answer the questions though, if there were lucky, and General Hammond called on time.
