Over the next few months, Sam and Jack spent all of their spare time organising the wedding, with huge amounts of help from Janet, Daniel, Teal'c and Cassie. They settled into a familiar routine, going off-world together. They had a review every couple of weeks with General Hammond to check that their behaviour was indeed still professional. They passed every review. Then, two weeks before they were supposed to be married, on their final off-world mission before the wedding, something went wrong. Very wrong.

It was just a standard mission. SG1 left the gate room at 1400 hours.
"Alright SG1, you have a go. Radio in every 24 hours" General Hammond said from the control room.
"Move out campers" Jack ordered his team. They stepped through the wormhole as one, all four team members in a line. They were met by a three people who looked very similar to business men back on Earth. They were wearing dark suits with silver shirts and ties and silver bowler-like hats. The strange thing was they all looked exactly the same. Kinda like Smith in the Matrix, actually.
"Howdy folks" Jack smiled at the natives as they appeared to be friendly and, for once, weren't pointing weapons at them.
"We are peaceful explorers from Earth and mean you no harm" Daniel started his standard greeting.
"We know who you are and where you are from" The aliens spoke English, without a trace of an accent, which made them sound, well, creepy. The fact they all said it at exactly the same time didn't help either.
Jack raised his eyebrow at their comment. "Ya do huh? Well that's strange"
"We have heard of your deeds. Please come and eat with us. We will talk". Again they spoke in unison. Daniel looked pleadingly at Jack. Jack sighed at said "Sure, why not?" He knew he was going to regret it. There was just something suspicious about them.
They followed some distance behind the strange, almost-robotic like aliens.
"Carter, is it just me or do these people seem a little, well, freaky?" Jack asked under his breath
"No, you're right. The whole time they spoke the facial expressions didn't change. It's unnerving sir"
"I agree with Major Carter's assessment O'Neill" Teal'c also spoke quietly.
"Come on guys, give them a chance" Daniel begged "They could become powerful new allies" Then Daniel turned round and saw an entire army of the aliens, exact replicas of the three who were with them, with strange pointy sticks aimed their way. They didn't look nice. "Then again maybe not." Daniel sighed.

Jack was the first to speak up.
"Erm guys, is there anythin' you wanna tell us?" He shifted nervously, scanning the crowd. All three aliens turned back towards SG1.
"You will pay for what you have done to our Gods. You have killed more Go'auld in the last seven years than any other species has in the hundred before that. You will pay" When they spoke this time the whole army joined in. The noise was bordering on deafening. Jack had given up hope when he heard the words 'Gods'. Daniel, however, hadn't.
"The Go'auld are an evil and vindictive people. They are not Gods"
"They care for us and have given us everything we have today" Sam winced when they spoke again.
"Whoa, can we just talk to one of you" One of the ones who had previously leading SG1 stepped forward.
"Okay first who the hell are you?"
"We are the Kelanians. Drop your weapons or we will kill you". Jack scanned the crowd once again and saw they had no choice. He motioned to Sam, Daniel and Teal'c to lower their weapons at the same time as he was doing.
They were immediately surrounded by ten or twelve of the Kelanians and prodded with the shiny silver sticks. They gave off what was similar to and electric charge and Sam guessed the fired in a similar way to a zat'nik'atel.
"You will come this way. You will be punished for what you have done" And with that they were pushed, poked and prodded to a large silver building.

They were put into separate cells with what seemed like nothing in between them except a slight shimmering of the air. Daniel was at one end with Teal'c next to him then Sam then Jack. Glass doors were slid in front of them with some kind of metal walls behind them. However, the cells, fortunately, weren't soundproof so they could talk.
"Everyone ok?" Jack shouted, so Daniel could hear.
"Yes sir"
"Indeed O'Neill"
"Never better Jack"
"Daniel, have we ever heard of these people before?"
"Nope. I thought they must be humans who the Go'auld have forgotten about and therefore they believe that the Go'auld are kind to them" Jack snorted
"So they're being totally fooled then?"
"Apparently"
"And I don't suppose you can talk us out of it?"
"I seriously doubt it"
"Remind me never to let you do this again" Jack's head slipped into his hands with his elbows resting on his knees.
