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.

Jonas sighed as he looked at the various papers scattered across his desk. For the past four days he had been trying to translate these writings, all to no avail. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get them to make any sense. He knew Sam was impatient because she desperately wanted to figure out the device technologically and she couldn't until he figured out the writings, and General Hammond wanted a report on the status of the mission. He'd been staring at these papers and computer screens for hours, he'd had a headache for two hours and he refused to ask Dr. Frasier for anything cause he knew he would be put in an MRI just to be sure it was a normal headache. He found himself rereading the same line, over and over again. Finally he decided to take a break and go for a walk.
He aimlessly walked not sure where he was really going. It was so confusing, what was the language, what was the device, what could it do or be that it needed to be defended? And why were all of those glyphs hidden within the platform of the device? It all just made no sense. He kept walked and suddenly found himself at Amy's office, the door was open, but she wasn't there. For some reason he decided to go inside anyway. He glanced at the books and papers on her desk. It looked like she was comparing all the religious and philosophical findings that had been found through the Stargate and was comparing them with earth, similarities and differences. From what Jonas understood her job was like a chronicling of all the things the SGC had done the past seven years, putting it in a conservative perspective. He glanced through a few more pages of her work, when Amy came to the door. She just stood there and stared at him, her arms folded as he read her work.
She cleared her throat, "Umm, I don't want to interrupt but can I help you?" She said with a smirk.
Jonas looked up," Hey. Sorry I went for a walk, ended up here, and your work caught my eye. It's really interesting." He said putting the papers down.
She walked into the office," Well I'm glad you like them. I finally got everything organized, and I was told to get started on this. From what I was told my job is basically temporary, to see if they like what I do before I'm hired with a more permanent position. Personally, all this confusion gives me one big headache."
"Tell me about it, I've had a headache for the past two hours from staring at computer screens and books nonstop; that's why I decided to go for a walk."
"I had heard you were working on some big finding from the Ancients. Trying to translate and stuff like that."
Jonas gave a confused look, "How do you know that?"
"Major Carter told me. I saw her in the commissary this morning and we started talking. She said you seemed really frustrated."
Jonas sighed," Frustrated is an understatement. It's as if there are all these pieces to this puzzle and no matter what position I try them in they just don't fit. One small piece may fit at one point but it doesn't fit at another point. It's just so confusing."
"Well," Amy began," Maybe taking a break will help you to think clearer. Sometimes stepping away for a few moments really makes a difference."
Jonas shrugged. "Yeah I guess."
Amy gave him a thoughtful look." You know you still haven't show me around base yet, you did promise me you would."
"But one of the airmen already showed you."
Amy nodded, "True, but I haven't seen the gate room yet."
"I don't know Amy, I really should get back to work."
"Jonas is fifteen minutes, really going to set you back that much?"
He shrugged," Probably not, I'd just end up rereading the same sentence over and over again."
"Good, then let's get on with the tour."
They walked out of Amy's office. "You know," Jonas began," I could get in trouble for this."
"For taking a five minute brake when you didn't even have breakfast, I don't think anyone will mind."
"True." Jonas paused," Wait a minute, how did you know I didn't have breakfast?"
"Major Carter said that she asked you to join her and you said you weren't hungry and wanted to work on the translations instead. By the way, she's seems a little worried at the fact you weren't hungry."
Jonas started laughing. They headed down the corridors and made it to the gate room, Jonas used his security card, and they walked inside the gate room. Amy just stood there for a moment and stared at it. Mouth slightly open, and eyes in amazement. She stood like that for several moments, and then walked a little closer." You know I had heard people talking about it and the Stargate being mentioned. But this is unbelievable, I mean it almost seems unreal."
Jonas smiled," Isn't it something? The first time I saw the gate on Kelowna I couldn't believe it either, it was memorizing. I'll never forget it; I thought it was an odd joke at first. It just didn't seem like it could be real to me."
Amy looked at the gate for another minute, and then looked at the door and back at the gate with a pondering expression. Jonas noticed this," What?"
Amy smiled, "Oh, it's nothing I was just wondering something."
"What?" Jonas asked again.
Amy bit her lip," Well-how did they get the gate in here?"
