"The Unexplainable"
Ch. 2
(The Plateau, 1920's)
Somewhere not to far from the Tree House
"Tell me again, Challenger, why we must go all of the way out here to do this experiment?" Marguerite panted.
"I don't want anything else to get broken," he responded.
"What kind of experiment?" Veronica asked.
"I am attempting to make this machine work. I'm calling it a Tesearect Machine. I am going to see if it can mold space and time to my will. According to my calculations, it should be able to work," Challenger explained. He spotted a small clearing ahead. "This looks like the perfect spot."
They started unpacking the equipment and Challenger started getting to work.

Major Carter's Lab
"Sam, what on earth are you doing?" Trisana asked, carrying her great-great-great-grandmother's journal, which contained spells and things. "Didn't General Hammond tell SG-1 we're relieved of duty till the baby is born?"
"Yeah, but I wanted to finish this project first," Samantha said.
"What is it?" Tris asked.
"A Tesearect device," she answered.
At that moment Colonel O' Neill, Teal'c, Dr. Jackson, carrying the twins baby bag, and the twins arrived at the doorway.
"Carter?" Jack asked.
"I know, sir. I'm almost finished," she said. The five clabbered inside the lab. "It's finished, sir"
"Sweat, turn it on," Jack said.
Sam nodded and paced out goggles. Once everyone put them on, she turned on the device. The device charged up. A swirl of blue lights circled the room. The people crowded in the room disappeared.

"Is it ready yet, Challenger?" Roxtin asked, finishing up the unpacking.
"I believe it is," he said, excitedly.
He flipped a switch. A swirl of blue light displayed in front of them. 7 figures appeared before the explorers. The explorers quickly pointed their guns at SG-1. Daniel and Trisana blocked Faith and Hope to protect them. Sam, Jack, and Teal'c pointed zats at Challenger, Roxtin, Veronica, Malone, and Marguerite.
"Hope, danger," Tris said to one of her daughters. A shield of energy shielded the baby. "Sam, what the hell happened?" Tris asked, giving Hope to Daniel and then stepping forward.
"Faith, danger," Daniel whispered to his other daughter. The same energy shield, shielded her.
"By the looks of their clothes, I believe we've been set back in time, again," Teal'c said.
"Thank you, Teal'c," Jack said, still pointing his zat, pointing it between Veronica and Roxtin.
"Jack, I think it would be a good idea to put down our weapons," Daniel said, holding the twins.
"Them first," he jerked his head toward the explorers.
They looked at one another, and then reluctantly put their guns away. SG-1 did the same.
"Who are you people?" Roxtin said.
"We're from the future, I think," Daniel said. "Um, I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson, this is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'c, and my wife Trisana." he pointed to each member of SG-1 as he introduced his friends and wife to the strangers.
"I'm Dr. George Challenger,"
"You can just call me Roxtin,"
"I'm Veronica," she smiled at the twin girls.
"Malone is fine,"
"I'm Marguerite,"
"Well, now that we've semi-formally introduced ourselves, does anybody know what happened?" Jack said.
Before anybody could open their mouths Tris said, "Guys, there are 3 Raptors headin' our way."
"How do you know that?" Malone asked.
"We'll explain once we get to safety," Jack said. He turned to Daniel and Sam. "Raptors?" The two shrugged.
"Come back to the Tree House. It's only a 10 minute walk from here. By the time the Raptors come here, we'll be long gone," Roxtin said.
SG-1 nodded. They quickly packed up and followed the explorers out of the clearing, weapons out and ready to kick some Raptor butt!
