It was three days since their original mission to PX5-742 and now SG1 were
on their way back to the planet. Daniel had been puzzling over the
translation constantly and he hadn't quite managed to translate it. He'd
been so busy in fact; he'd still managed to neglect the heavy stone which
was still bouncing in his coat pocket. Sam and Jack had been spending most
of their time in the rec. room playing pool (at which Sam was surprisingly
good at) and Teal'c had been trying to learn to play, but the purpose
eluded him. So, he went to the base library and read the newspapers, which
always fascinated him.
Now, as they arrived back on the planet, they were faced with the sudden shock of the cold. Patches of ice had formed on the ground and some of the rocks which had littered the floor had obviously been moved. They prepared their weapons and Daniel shone the huge flashlight they had bought with them this time around the room. It was deserted. Eerily so. If they had found someone, anyone, dead or alive, they wouldn't have felt so unprepared. So at risk.
Jack started forward, and then stopped. "OK people." He said. "Maybe, they just buried some more people here, or tomb raiders or something dropped by."
"Something?" Repeated Daniel ominously, glancing around the cavern.
"Right, well, let's set up camp. We're going to be here a few days and we want somewhere we can easily run home from if the event arises." Jack noticed the looks he was getting from Sam and Daniel and quickly added "which it won't."
They all set about preparing camp and Teal'c impaled various bamboo canes in the ground surrounding the camp, and then lit the paraffin lamps on top of them. All at once the cavern became a room and a lot less menacing, except for the shadows. But only Daniel seemed freaked out by them. He kept remembering the feeling he had had, if only he could place where he'd felt it last.
Sam and Jack loved the candle-like effect of the canes. It made the whole set up that little bit more romantic and encouraged them. Not that they needed any encouragement. They'd already convinced Daniel and Teal'c to let them share a tent. (Even though they were indoors, they still put up tents for "privacy")
Teal'c didn't really think about the lights because to him, they were just lights, nothing more.
***** Later that night.
Daniel sat next to the fire. It was his turn on watch. He yawned sleepily and leaned over to grab the coffee. The thermos flask was empty. "Nice to know Jack taught abut me." He sighed and he moved the staff weapon from his lap and walked over to where the coffee granules were kept, next to Sam and Jack's tent.
Sam wasn't quite asleep. She saw the figure of Daniel moving around outside her tent. Probably looking for coffee. She turned over and looked at Jack. Her hand strayed to his cheek, slightly rough with the beginnings of stubble. She couldn't wait until she would wake up next to him every day. To always be there for him and him for her. She stroked his cheek and he stirred. He opened his eyes and grinned at her. He semi-blew her a kiss and closed his eyes again. Sam smiled. It was little quirks he had, like that, which had made her love him. In that moment she was laying there, everything seemed to be going right.
Then she heard Daniel give a cry, as if in deep pain.
