"Carter, come in." Jack called over the radio.
"I'm ready in you sir."
"We've found a good area to set up came about three quarters of a click west of the gate." Jack relayed.
"Do you want us to come to you or are we waiting here for you to get back sir?"
"Move them out. We'll meet you half way." Jack instructed.
"Yes sir. Carter out." Carter turned to where the men were sat waiting. "You heard him move out. Daniel, take the lead, Lieutenant you walk FRED and watch our sixes."

"So you know any ghost stories?" Jack asked as they sat around the camp fire. The planet worked on a different time scale to Earth, days were shorter so it got dark early. So at 1730 they were sat around talking it being too dark to work.
"No." Daniel mouth to the scientists.
"Teal'c any Jaffa jokes? Exciting adventures to tell us about?" Jack asked.
"Not that I wish to share at this time O'Neill." Sam smiled at Teal'c's response.
"Carter?" He asked.
"Why don't you tell us more about this rocket you were going to build to fly to the moon sir?" Sam suggested.
"You know you're a real riot there Carter."
"I try sir. But if you really want to go to the moon, wait a few months and I'm sure General Hammond will let you test fly the X301 around the solar system, the moon shouldn't be a problem."
"Sweet."
"Colonel, the sun will start coming up in another ten hours, why don't we all turn in because I'd like to get an early start."
"Carter, it's 1730. It's the middle of the day on Earth."
"Jack, hate to be the one to point this out to you but we're not in Kansas anymore. Beside you were moaning earlier that you wanted to sleep in this morning, an early night will do you good."
"Fine, you scientists know how to fire a gun?" Jack asked.
"Sir, I haven't fire one since basic training." Lieutenant Harmon replied.
"How the hell did you get to Lieutenant if you can't shoot a gun? Carter, remind to talk to Hammond about it when we get back."
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
"What about you?" He asked the Dr's.
"Colonel, it's only there second mission off world. They usually work on base." Sam pointed out.
"Teal'c we'll check the perimeter, teach them how to shoot a zat while we're gone. We'll sort out watches when we get back." Jack instructed.
"Yes sir." Sam watched Teal'c and Jack walk off. "Okay guys, time for zat's 101. This is a zat gun." She held one up. "It's a Goa'uld weapon. Zat is short for zat'n'itkal, but the Colonel prefers we call them zat's because it's easier to say. You push the button here to open." The zat opened, you point and pull the trigger. One shot affects different people different ways, some people it momentarily stuns, others it knocks out for a few minutes or longer, a second shot kills, no matter who it is. A third shot disintegrates; only use it if absolutely necessary. Most of the time a single shot will do it gives you enough time to get away, and if its only for watch duty one of us will wake up. Any questions?"
"Do we have too?" Dr Thomas asked.
"Watches are important. We'll all take two hours. The Colonel will probably want to take first watch then Teal'c, then probably all three of you together; it'll help keep you awake. Since it's my turn to make breakfast Daniel then me. You should turn in as you'll be up in four hours, you too Daniel."
"Remember I like my coffee strong. Night" Daniel said as he crawled into the tent he was sharing with Teal'c.
"When don't you. Night Daniel."
"Good night Major." The scientist called as they crawled into the tent they were sharing leaving a tent vacant for Jack and Sam.
"Where did everyone go?" Jack asked as he and Teal'c returned.
"I sent them to bed. I thought you and Teal'c would take first and second watch, my scientist all on third watch since they're new to it. Daniel's on fourth watch since it's my turn to make breakfast."
"Fine, Teal'c go kel'noreem. I'll take first watch, Carter bed."
"Yes sir. Night Teal'c."
"Sleep well Major Carter." Teal'c said as Sam crawled into the tent.
