Chapter 2: Danger!
The ten soldiers poured through the gate, quickly taking defensive positions. Seeing no-one and hearing only the twittering of birds, they hurried to the tree line, quickly entering the cover of the dense foliage of the tropical jungle, and moving stealthily towards the ancient ruins three miles away.
"No birds" Major Williams noted laconically, after they had gone about 2 miles.
"Major Williams is right; I have not heard any birds for quite some time"
"Something must have sent them scurrying since we arrived" Colonel Pierce noted, glancing at the more experienced Colonel O'Neill, who was in overall charge of this mission.
"All right, heads up people, keep your eyes and ears peeled at all times"
They moved slower, stealthier the last mile to the temple where SG-11 was being held by the Goa'uld, a feeling of danger settling over the teams making them jumpy. O'Neill was worried, he could feel eyes watching him from the surrounding jungle, but could see nothing, so he tried, and failed to shrug the feeling of unease off.
SGC
Alert sirens and red lights filled the room, as SF's rushed into the gateroom, pointing P90's, SAW's and rifles at the massive circular trinium/titanium alloy edifice of the iris.
"Sir, receiving IDC, it's the Tok'Ra Sir."
"Open the Iris." Hammond replied.
With a metallic groan, the plates of the iris shifted apart, retracting into the stargate just in time for General Carter / Selmac to step through. Hammond smiled, of all the Tok'Ra, Carter / Selmac was the one he would rather deal with.
"SF's stand down, Jacob it's good to see you." Hammond said as he strode through the blast doors into the gateroom, the SF's filing out behind him, "We got your message, SG-1 and RSG-1 are dealing with it now."
"What message?"
"About the Unas who captured SG-11 on PC-49X"
General Carter's voice turned gravelly as Selmac took over, "We sent no such message, and the IDC hasn't left our person since our last visit."
Hammond stared in horror at Jacob / Selmac for a moment, before rushing back up to the control room followed by a worried Jacob Carter.
"SG teams 2, 3 and 5, report to the gateroom equipped for a rescue mission immediately." Hammond flicked the intercom off, and turned to Master Sergeant Siler, "get a MALP and a UAV in the gateroom and ready to go" Hammond started to turn back, but stopped and added "Congratulations on the promotion by the way, you have more than earned it"
Five minutes later, the three SG teams poured into the gateroom, having bypassed the whole loaded for bear idea, and gone straight to loaded for grizzly. Hammond could see at least 3 SAW's, as well as their usual P90's, pistols and a frankly ridiculous number of grenades and claymores clipped all over their fatigues. Every person had also grabbed a Zat, Hammond blinked, and it appeared Colonel Reynolds wanted to play with the miniguns. Again. Reynolds sure loved those things.
"Dial up PC-49X and send the MALP through."
