Lost Footsteps
O'Neill walked into the gate room to see the rest of his team, including the temporary member in Lieutenant Skylar. He sighed before heading towards the gate.
"Everyone ready?" he asked them as he walked past them.
They nodded their heads as they watched him. Daniel glanced at Skylar, who finished putting her things into a bag.
"Nervous?" he asked her.
"This is my first mission with the four of you, so yes, I am a little nervous," she replied.
Daniel smiled as he looked at the event horizon on the gate.
"Let's go. After you Lieutenant," Daniel told her before stepping up to the gate, an arm leading the way.
She smiled as him before stepping onto the ramp with the others. The five stepped through the gate and onto the other side, where they found a lush planet. O'Neill whistled at it as they walked away from the Stargate.
"This is some place. Hope there's no one hostile here," he whispered to himself. "But I know it's going to be too good to be true."
Carter looked around the place, seeming curious yet slightly confused by their suroundings.
"There doesn't appear to be any signs of life here, sir," she called out to him.
"Well, let's go and find out if there is or not. Usually, we find someone. We will have to wait and see if they're hostile or not," O'Neill replied as he started off away from the Stargate.
The others followed him. Skylar gave knowing and nervous glances around the area and Carter noticed this.
"Lieutenant," Carter suddenly said.
"Yes ma'am?" said Skylar as she looked at her superior.
"Have you or any of your people been here before?" she asked.
Skylar was a but surprised by the question but eventually nodded.
"I was here not too long ago and it seems like yesterday that I arrived on the planet. If I remember right, it was a dangerous place. I am unsure if it still is. We have to be careful. Very careful. Even better, we should leave this planet," Lyna replied, as she took over.
"Colonel!" Carter cried out to him.
"What is it Carter?" O'Neill wanted to know, slight impatience in his voice.
"We have a problem," Carter said to him.
"What is this problem Major Carter?" wondered Teal'c as O'Neill hurried over to them.
"Nothing serious I hope," O'Neill told her.
"Lyna's been here before with Skylar as the host a few years ago. She thinks it's still dangerous and that we should go back to Earth before anything should happen," Carter replied.
Daniel and O'Neill gave each other horrified looks.
"And you know this how?" demanded O'Neill as he stepped up to her.
"You doubt me?" Lyna wondered as she cocked her head.
"Whatever gave you that idea?" replied O'Neill, his well known sarcastic tone in his voice.
"I got that idea by the way you have been treating me ever since I arrived at the SGC. You treat me as though I were an alien," explained Lyna.
"That's because you are," Carter put in.
O'Neill gave her a slightly annoyed look as if to say 'I can do this myself Carter' and she backed off, not saying anything else
"I may be an alien Colonel but my host isn't. She is of your world. She always will be, no matter what," was all she said before heading back to the Stargate.
The four looked at each other, wondering what was going on. The five headed over to the Gate when it began to be obvious that someone was dialing up the Stargate. Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter and Teal'c all prepared themselves with their weapons as the five hid behind some nearby bushes. They watched as three figures walked through. More appropriately, two someones dragging another between them. The third was protesting violently as she was being dragged along. The group could see that the thrid figure was gagged.
"Naraka," whispered Skylar as she looked at her friend with sad eyes.
Daniel and Teal'c both looked at her. Daniel now became worried. He recognized the name and face of the captured person because of the Light inside of him.
"Jack," Daniel quietly yelled over to O'Neill.
"What is it Daniel? We have a slight problem here," replied O'Neill.
"You have no idea of the problem we have right now," Daniel told him.
Carter and O'Neill looked at him, amazed. Teal'c raised an eyebrow, curious in his own way. Daniel could tell that they were surprised with this news.
"What was that Daniel?" wondered O'Neill. "How could there be a problem?"
"He's right. We have a major problem," Skylar agreed. "They're doing it again."
