Season six (set before Full Circle)
Spoilers: Prophecy, Metamorphosis, Sight Unseen, and Meridian.
Characters: Jonas, Sam, other, Col. O'Neill and Teal'c.
Category: mystery, angst.
Summery: A mysterious artifact from the Ancients may lead the team to a discovery that they never envisioned possible.
Side note: I made up the planet P69-321, the character Amy Smith, and the book philosophies through the ages. If there is any similarity in planet, character or book, it was merely coincidental. ( Also I made Dr. Smith's position up. This story was possible only by God's help, because truth be told. I'm not that smart to think up something like this.(

"Ahh, there's nothing I like more than water in the ears and mud all over and inside of my boots. Jonas, you better be finding something new to translate." Colonel O'Neill said as he came back into the main cave where the rest of SG-1 was.
Jonas sighed," I'm working on that, Sir."
"Please work harder, I think I have a hole in my raincoat and this weather does not look like it's going to let up." He turned to see Sam crunched over fiddling with the main platform. "Carter, what are you doing other there with that thing?"
Sam looked up." This platform has an access panel; I'm attempted to see if there's a way to remove it, Sir."
"Is that not the platform that the original device that knocked us unconscious was located?" Teal'c asked.
Sam nodded, "Yes, it is."
"Is that wise?" Colonel O'Neill asked.
"It appears to be. The energy signatures from this are barely visible, my guess is the device holds the charges, and this is almost like a battery for the device. We've been able to study and get close to the device on base without any major problems, so it should be all right looking at this as well. If I can get inside the panel and access it I may be able to find a way to see how the device actually works and what it is."
"Well, be careful." Colonel O'Neill said.
"I will, Sir." Sam said.

Two hours later Jonas went to the edge of the cave and looked out on the watery landscape. It had been nonstop downpours since they had arrived there, and it was not letting up; the downpours were so severe that one could barely see something more then ten feet away. However, with the type of vegetation and the buildings of the local village, his guess was this was a rainy season for this planet, maybe even just this part of the planet. He chuckled to himself; maybe he should stop watching the Weather Channel so much.
"Trying to escape are you." Colonel O'Neill said behind him.
"Just taking a break for a moment, Sir. I've been looking at those walls for the past five hours. My eyes are getting tired."
"Don't worry about it. Find anything?"
"Nothing, I know there must be something there. I'm just missing it. None of the writings even mention the device, it's as if it's not supposed to be there."
"Could it be a code or something in the writings?"
Jonas shook his head," All the writings talk about are the people being taken from earth by the Goa'uld and them settling on this planet. How they were oppressed by the Goa'uld, and then how 'friends from above' freed them. Probably the Asgard or someone like that. The device isn't even indicated. Even on the device itself. It's really strange."
"Well, don't worry about it, if you can't find something Carter will. She always has some great idea up her sleeve."
"That's for sure." Jonas stated
"Hey, there's an idea."
"What?"
"Maybe you should borrow Carter's sleeves and pull out an idea." Colonel O'Neill joked. Jonas just started at him oddly." Never mind it's all the water, it's making my jokes rather soggy." Jonas smirked," Now you see that was a funny joke." Colonel O'Neill said
"Colonel! Jonas, come here." Carter called.
They both went back inside," What is it Carter?"
"I've loosened the panel enough and was about to remove it."
Colonel O'Neill nodded," Go ahead."
Sam pulled the panel off and as she did a dim light came on and it seemed to highlight glyphs written on the inside of the panel. "Hello." Colonel O'Neill said.
"There are hundreds of glyphs in here. Jonas, come here." Sam called.
Jonas crunched over and glanced at them." Oh, yeah this is defiantly the Ancients; it looks like a newer dialect though. I'd need better lighting and some of the base translators, but I might be able to figure it out." He touched one of the glyphs and the whole platform lit up, Jonas jumped back. Glyphs suddenly appeared everywhere on the inside of the platform and all over the outside of the platform.
Colonel O'Neill looked at it," Well what do you know, the lights are on and somebody's home."
"Well, this is defiantly the Ancients technology, but for some reason the glyphs were hidden." Jonas said.
"Why would the Ancients wish to conceal knowledge?" Teal'c asked.
Jonas shrugged and looked at Sam. "I have no idea," Sam said.
"Only one way to find out." Jonas said. He went to his bag, got his camera and started taking pictures of the glyphs. "There's no way I can do even a quarter of this here I need some of the things I have on base. And in all honesty with all these glyphs, the translating will take awhile."
"Carter, you need anything else here?"
Sam shook her head. "Honestly Sir, I can't really figure this out until I know what the writings say, until then I really have no idea what I'm doing."
Colonel O'Neill nodded, "Okay then, in that case, let's pack up, go home, and dry off."
