Forehead crinkled in thought, Daniel wrote yet another language down in the journal he carried. He'd begun cataloguing the texts and had taken some rubbings, hoping to get a better idea of what he was looking at and what references he might consult or at the very least recomment for the archaeological team, should he not be able to return himself.

Moving to the center pillar, Daniel circled it, not a little intrigued: The same text was written on all four sides... one line, in what looked very much like the language of the Ancients. Tracing his fingers over the script, Daniel muttered under his breath... very suddenly, he collapsed

Coming to the top of the ridge overlooking the ruins, Jack continued to scan the horizon. Sighing, he clicked his com.

O'Neill clicked again. "You see anything, Teal'c?"

Jack sighed again. "You hear that, Daniel?" he asked, his eyes traveling to the structure below. "We're gonna flag this one for an archaeological survey and head back home. You have as long as it takes us all to get back to your position to get what you need." He paused. "No arguments." Jack stared at one of the pillars, imagining Daniel to be there. After several moments of silence, he went back to his com. "Daniel?" Another pause. "Come in, Daniel." O'Neill sighed for a third time and started down the ridge, certain SG1's civilian had lost himself in his work again.

As Jack neared the ruins, he scanned for Daniel. Not seeing him, he went back to the radio. "Daniel." He called out in a semi sing-song voice. "Dr. Jackson... paging Dr. Daniel Jackson" he mocked. "Daniel! Yo!" he forsook the radio, this time choosing to shout through the ruins. "Daniel! Where the hell are –" and then he came upon his unconscious friend. "Dammit, Daniel." He cursed, running up to kneel at Daniel's side. He leaned over, listening for breath sounds. "Carter!" he half-shouted into his com. "Back to the ruins, now. Teal'c, get to the gate double time and bring back Fraiser. Daniel's in trouble."

"On my way, Sir." Was Sam's hurried reply.

Immediately following was Teal'c's own confirmation: "I shall endeavor to return as quickly as possible."
