There, on the wall in front of Sam and Jack was a mural. Not just any
mural. Jack wouldn't be shocked by works of art normally, but this was
something scary.
The picture was in a format similar to a cartoon strip. The story it told was scarily accurate. There were two figures travelling through a Stargate and discovering their love for each other. In the final scene of the mural was a wedding between the two. Now, this seemed uncomfortably close to the truth, but what made it worse was the fact that the two characters which featured predominately in the story were the exact likenesses of Sam and Jack. Down to every last detail.
"But.how? Its." Started Sam.
"Amazing? Incredible? Spooky?"
"Yeah." Sam leant forward and touched the artwork. She stroked the paint. It seemed so old, but how could it be. Then her hand strayed to the side. On the wall next to their story, (how was she sure it was even meant to be them? Sam didn't know.) Was a row of cartouches. "Jack, what do you make of this?"
"What? Oh, Daniel stuff. What of it?"
Sam smiled her "I've had a brilliant idea and you don't understand yet ha ha!" smile. "This is right next to the picture Sir, it might tell us how it came to be here, who created it."
"So, we need Daniel, yeah?" Jack took hold of his communicator and spoke into it, rolling his eyes as he did so. "Teal'c, Daniel, come in." "Teal'c? Daniel? Come in," Jack glanced at Sam and drew his zat. Sam took out her gun and nodded as they both started back down the passage slowly, carefully, quietly.
Meanwhile.
"Dr Jackson, I have strict orders to not allow you to stop for anything." Teal'c's booming voice filled the dimly lit chamber. A single, solid shaft of light came down from a dusty window and focussed itself onto a small mirror on the wall.
"Teal'c if I don't go soon I'm going to burst. I'm not hurting anything and I won't stay longer than I have to. You don't want me to have kidney failure."
"Very well DanielJackson."
Daniel stepped behind a rather large column and relieved himself. Just as he finished he noticed a rather strange looking rock. He bent down and picked it up. It was covered in writing, in Goa'uld. He pocketed it and carried n going down the passage with Teal'c.
About five minutes later, Daniel and Teal'c came to a dead end. In a very well lit cavern. The walls were bare and there was nothing in the room except for a large rectangular rock in the centre. The light was coming from various windows around the room, all of which were too high up to see out of. The air was quite dusty and as Daniel stood there looking around, Teal'c sneezed.
"Bless you."
"I was unaware you were also a priest DanielJackson."
"Its, um, a tradition to say that when someone sneezes. It, er, doesn't accompany just priesthood Teal'c."
Teal'c nodded. Just at that moment Sam and Jack entered the chamber. Teal'c saw their weapons and lowered his staff weapon. Daniel turned around and saw all f the weapons pointed towards him.
"Whoa, what's up people?"
"Daniel. Teal'c. Why didn't you answer me when I called you?"
"When was this O'Neill?" Replied Teal'c calmly as ever.
"Sir." started Sam, waving one of her many sensors around. "There appears to be a lot of radio interference around here. That may be why the communicators aren't working.
"Ah,"
"Why did you want us anyway Jack?"
"We wanted you because we found some thing we thought you may find very interesting, Danny."
"Me?" Daniel was very shocked. Usually Jack would do anything to stop Daniel looking at an artefact.
"Yeah. just follow us."
The four of them walked single file through the tunnels. Finally they reached their destination and after gasps and surprised stutters of sentences Daniel finally focussed on the cartouches. "This might take a while guys."
"That's OK we'll just have lunch." Said Jack. He pulled out his rations and sat himself on the ground, the others following his lead as Daniel poured over the writing and scribbled one or two things down in his notebook that he carried everywhere with him.
"Erm, guys. you're not going to believe this."
