Chapter 5: Hidden Shadows

O'Neill glanced quickly around the corner of the entrance, all clear, he moved quickly onto the steps of the temple and looked all around the clearing then to the forest surrounding this old temple, all clear, in fact, O'Neill noted with a frown, no sign of the Unas anywhere, even the dead bodies had been removed. Something didn't feel right here.

"All right people, we're heading for the gate to rendezvous with reinforcements then we're coming looking for RSG-1, lets go!"

The StarGate team members rushed down the steps of the temple, trying to cover the exposed space in as little time as possible, Carter getting to the bottom of the steps first, and running on towards the forest.

A solid thunk made O'Neill look up as Carter bounced off an unseen object and hit the ground.

"Carter!"

She didn't move, O'Neill cursed and carefully made his way over to her. Teal'c probed forward with his staff, quickly hitting the cloaked object. He moved closer, and felt the shape of it with his hands as O'Neill and Daniel saw to Carter, SG-11 providing cover.

"O'Neill! It appears to be a cloaked Goa'uld vessel"

"Well, any bets as to where RSG-1 are?"

"No bet, Daniel" O'Neill thumbed his radio on, "Sierra-Golf-Charlie, this is Sierra-Golf-One, come in."

"SG-1, this is SG-2, we are at the gate, SG-3 and five are with us."

"Roger that, be advised we have a cloaked Goa'uld ship here."

"Damn, SG-2 and 5 on-route, SG-3 is covering the gate, catch you in 5."
