I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but with school and all, I just had to take a little vacation.

I don't own SG 1

Legato with vengeance

Can There Ever Such a Thing as an Unusual Day at the SGC.

Chapter: 6

"Jack, that smile scares me," Daniel glanced at the very ecstatic Colonel beside him, sitting with a small travel pamphlet nearly touching his nose as the car glided along the interstate smoothly.

"Aw, lighten up, Space Monkey, I've always wanted to come here," Jack flipped over the page, his eyes widening, "Oooo, today it looks like there's a parade for the anniversary of the first sighting!"

"Jack, we all know it really because of Teal'c that you want to come here," Daniel looked out the window wishing for his office back at the SGC and with the potato powered clock that he left running a Gou'ald encryption devise.

"Not when I was little," Jack looked as though he was about five, looking franticly looking for another brochure in his travel bag, when Sam made a half screaming noise and Teal'c slammed on the breaks.

"What?" Jack and Daniel both chorused from the back seat, then giving each other death-glares.

"I just saw a space ship!" Sam leaned her head over the dashboard to see if she could see it again.

"Oh, come on, Sam, you don't actually believe those superstitions about little green men from Mars?" Daniel assumed a posture that betrayed his impatience at this vacation that was literally going nowhere right now.

"Try little men in snake headed armor," Jack leaned his head between the two front seats trying for a glance.

"No, Sir, it was an Asgard model." Sam tried to engrain the image of the ship in her head.

"Uh… Teal'c turn it around, lets go home now." Jack desperately tried to grab the wheel from behind.

"I am afraid that even if I wanted to turn this car around I could not because I am on the wrong side of the highway to go west, Colonel O'Neill. However, I wish to investigate this matter further so I will continue to this Roswell." Teal'c put his foot back on the gas and sped on down the sparsely populated highway.

"Just what I need now Thor and a mutiny," Jack leaned back in his seat draping a brochure over his face.

"If it helps anything, I'm all for going straight home," Daniel offered, keeping his eyes glued on the horizon.

"Be quiet, Space Monkey, and stop being on my side, that's just wrong," Jack picked the paper up off his face and began to flip through it again.

"This is our exit, is it not, Major Cater?" Teal'c consulted a small map before looking up to see Sam nod in agreement.

"Please, Teal'c, buddy, I beg you," Jack grabbed onto the back of Teal'c's seat as though he was bowing. Just then Teal'c swerved to avoid some obstacle in the road that Jack couldn't see. That caused Jack to slip; yanking the lever to recline Teal'c's seat, the Jaffa warrior coming down with a thud on Jack and the car narrowly avoiding hitting a wall thanks to some quick thinking from Sam.

"Sir!" Sam shouted, trying to look under Teal'c's chair.

"Jack!" Daniel shouted at the same time as Sam, only more harshly and then throwing his arms in the air.

"Jack O'Neal, are you injured?" a calm, small voice asked from the space between Jack and Daniel's seats.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! YOU ARE NOT THERE!" Jack shouted, then continued in a whisper, "It's all just a bad, bad, bad, bad nightmare."

"Jack O'Neill, I must speak with you," Thor looked, unblinking at Jack.

"No way, I'm on-" Jack was cut off by Thor.

"I understand that you are currently on a respite from your occupation, however, this problem concerns this planet, so I thought I should bring it to your attention." Thor looked up and SG-1 was beamed aboard his spaceship.

"Jack O'Neal, SG-1, I want you to look at this monitor," Thor moved some crystals around, a holographic screen appearing before them. "My fleets have detected an unknown amount of Gou'ald heading in the direction of your planet." A picture of the fleet appeared on the screen.

"Hold it, those don't look like Gou'ald ships." Jack put his hands up, feeling a sneaking suspicion that something was definitely wrong.

"I believe that Daniel Jackson has the answer to that question, Jack O'Neal." Thor gave Daniel an utterly emotionless glance.

"Uh… I don't- no wait," Daniel's eyes suddenly lit up, "Um… It was back on Abidos, I was reading some of the Gou'ald records and I stumbled on an interesting-"

"Cut to the case, Space Monkey," Jack rolled his eyes desperately wishing that those aliens had kept their stupid viruses to themselves and Janet hadn't prescribed a little 'family' vacation.

"Ok… well in short it listed the names of Gou'ald system lords and who they worked under, for instance Ra was at the top of one column, as well as Apopfis, and Anubis. However, The columns were further divided into as many as… uh I don't know… maybe ten groups and Ra and Anubis and Apopfis were all in the same group, labeled with an average Gou'ald ship. The other columns were also labeled with ships of various designs. I think the designs symbolize where the Gou'ald picked up their names." Daniel elbowed Jack a little, Jack having faked falling asleep while standing up.

"Very good, Daniel Jackson, these Gou'ald trace their origins to the Greco-Romans, and their leader's name is Cronos." Thor zoomed in on the mother ship which, like the others, looked just like a normal Gou'ald ship expect instead of having a pyramid it had a parthonon-like building.

"So… what does this have to do with us in particular?" Jack looked around.

"You are earth first defense, Jack O'Neal, I felt it imper-"

"No! That's General Hammond! We are earth's stupid soldiers!" Jack got a little carried away, throwing one of Thor's crystals at the holographic screen managing to beam them back to their car.

"Are you sure that was wise, Jack O'Neal," Teal'c pulled off at a gas station.

"Oh, don't worry he'll be back," Jack nodded to himself, a felling of dread setting in.

"I don't think it–" Daniel was cut off by Jack.

"I don't want to hear it, Daniel," Jack leaned against the side of the car, glad at a little fresh air.

"Oh, come on, Sir, you're ruining the trip for all of us," Sam stepped out of the car.

"… Oh crap…" Daniel looked out at the sky from the front door of the gas station.

"What now, Daniel?" Jack gave Daniel a killer death-glare.

"I just saw a Gou'ald ship."
