Author's Note: Same as last chapter, but I hope you like this one perhaps a
tiny bit more. I think that it's interesting, some of the things that
occur in this chapter. Just reading it makes me laugh. I hope you enjoy
Chapter Two of 'Lizardopians'.
centerO'Neill: /center A trip through space, it was a piece of cake. Jack O'Neill straightened his sunglasses on his nose a little better, and turned to his team as they stepped down from the dusty platform.
"Well, let's go kids", he said simply, leading the way across the grass.
They didn't know what they expected to find, but Intel reported no expected Goa'uld territory or trouble to worry about.
They continued walking, and saw someone running away from them in the distance.
"Wait," they called to the person, "We won't hurt you! Please, come back!"
"Pleh! Pleh! Sneila era gnimoc!" She shouted.
Jack turned to his good friend and linguist, Daniel.
"Care to translate for us?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's like nothing I've ever heard before." Daniel replied, shrugging, his brow knitted with confusion.
"Nothing you've ever heard? NOTHING!? You speak 23 different languages, and this is NOTHING like them?" Jack was getting angry as they ran.
Finally, they came to some caves, where the girl had stopped. They paused and looked around for her.
centerCarter: /center A barrel of a shotgun rounded a corner, "Pots thgir ereht. Tahw od uoy tnaw?"
"Pots..." Daniel began to mutter, "I think she wants us to stop."
Sam looked at him oddly, and she stopped. Wasn't pots stop backwards?
"Can you figure the rest of it out?" She asked, looking to him.
"It's too fast, I don't know", he commented, looking thoughtful.
After beckoning her, the girl came down to Daniel and Sam. Teal'c and Jack stepped back slightly. The former knelt into the soft dirt, and Daniel wrote his name carefully on the ground with his finger. Then he pointed to himself.
"Daniel", he announced, hoping he could reach her.
"Mi Htebazile Deolcam", she said, writing it in the dirt.
"I think she's called Elizabeth Macleod", Daniel said over his shoulder to his friend.
"Sam", Major Carter added her name to the dirt.
"Ruoy egaugnal si gnorw." The girl spoke, her voice quavering slightly.
At Sam's confused look, she wrote it in the dirt. Daniel nodded and drew and arrow from the back of his name to the beginning of his name.
"Ah, you from Head's tribe. Welcome to Tail land." She said in perfect, flawless English.
"Um, thanks I guess..." Sam said, not having any way of possibly knowing what she meant.
