Daniel stood up after a tiny bit. He wavered on his feet only a few seconds, his hands on his chest, then arms. Finding his weapons gone, everything in his pockets gone. His glasses still gone.
"I think we should go." He suggested carefully, looking to Teal'c.
The Jaffa had been staring at the sky and only turned his head a minuscule amount to observe the archaeologist. Then he too stood, walking carefully to the Colonel and bending to offer him a hand in rising.
Jack accepted said hand, groaning inwardly as he was pulled vertical. He could barely put any weight on his legs, let alone appear that he could, but he was the stoic type. Sometimes.
"Good idea, Daniel." He affirmed, leaning against Teal'c until the world stopped spinning so madly. Then he turned his torso towards the gate, the tip of which could be seen just over the trees. Stupid trees. "Carter . . ."
Sam, who was picking herself up, re-orienting herself, nodded slightly. "Yes sir." Daniel moved to her side to offer support and they went off together, Teal'c and the Colonel taking the slower, easier route.
"I am most confused, O'Neill."
"Yah, so am I."
"It is not a concern that we have not completed our original mission?"
Jack looked up at the big guy holding him up basically and sighed, stopping the forward momentum they had managed to achieve for a few seconds. "Carter got her samples, I determined the planet hostile, end of story."
Teal'c was silent for a moment then finally nodded his head in understanding.
"Very wise, O'Neill."
"Thank you, T."
Ahead of them the stargate ka-wooshed, ringing through the woods and the Colonel let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know what had happened.
They had found a planet of sentient beings, plants and mountains and rocks and water that was living. It was a twist on what he knew as reality that he simply did not care to revisit. But he at least knew a few more things about his own planet that he loved.
Plants didn't attack on earth.
Water didn't speak on earth.
Mountains didn't swallow people whole on earth.
That put a few things straighter in his mind.
