"Wonderful, they're early." I mumble a little sleepily towards my cellmate Reuben.

"You know Aleron, maybe you should apply for the job of timekeeper, you would be a wonderful candidate."

I smile at him as I sit up against the wall in my little corner where I usually sleep. A lock of dark hair invade my eyes and I sweep it away with my dirty left hand. "Why do you say that?" I ask my dear friend in the other corner.

"You always seem to know, when things are happening early or late. How do you do that?"

The lock falls back where it was just moments before. 'I give up. It can just stay there!'

"The morning guards haven't passed our cell yet and the guards that take us to our workplace have already come to take our neighbors." Reuben gives me a look of disbelief. "I can hear the cell doors opening… okay?"

Reuben gives a little laugh and sits back against his wall eyeing me with much admiration. "See, you always know. Now tell me Timekeeper, when do they set us free?"

I lower my eyes to my hands, which was folded in my lap. I do not answer his question. I don't know the answer. I haven't known the answer for four years and I don't think I ever will. I hear something shuffle towards me and when I look up, it is Reuben who moved to sit next to me. He takes my one hand from my lap. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you little timekeeper."

I give him a little smile. "And I didn't mean to show weakness." I answer him and squeeze his hand before releasing it and standing up. "The guards will be here soon to take us to our work for the day."

My words are answered by the lock of our cell door turning and two guards entering taking each of us roughly by the arm and steering us into the hallway.

I know the hallways well, I've walked this way many times. Some other ways as well, in my many attempts to escape in earlier days before… I got punished many times for my wrongs.

The way we are walking leads to the workplaces. Many prisoners are already there and we are standing in a big hall waiting to be sorted in different groups. Each group does a different work. I usually get sorted into the water carrying or boiling room work. Mainly because in their eyes I'm just a boy and I'm not strong enough to do other work like mining.

As I suspected, I am sorted into a water-carrying group. I know now that I will be carrying water to the miners all day long. It is tiring, but I prefer it to the boiling room. Reuben is sorted into a miner group and taken in the opposite direction.

My eyes follow him till I cannot see him anymore. Since I have been here Reuben has been my only true friend. The only one of all the prisoners I know I can trust. Maybe because he's the only one that knows my secret, the secret that can cause my death if known by the wrong people.

A strong hand on my arm invades my thoughts. I'm pulled toward the door behind me where I join the other water carriers.

"Aleron! Aleron wait!" I turn toward the voice of another boy who is running in my direction.

"Seyton, good morning to you too." Seyton reaches me and pulls me by my arm to one side.

"Aleron…" he takes a deep breath and tries again. "Do you know why the guards are early this morning?"

"You have noticed?" A guard walks by and we both wait till he has past before we continue.

"Yes I noticed. Do you know why?"

I shake my head and look over toward the guards standing in the doorway watching us. "Look Seyton, I think we should start working. I don't want to get us in trouble."

"Some of the other prisoners says they're having this big ritual thing today. That they will be at this big ceremony with lots of food and wine and…"

"Seyton, not now… I will talk to you later." Seyton nods and walks toward some of his friends.

I am interested. What if this is another chance for me to escape. I should really stop thinking like that. 'Well, here goes another day of carrying water. Life is such a bliss.'

Everyone but Daniel is in the gateroom. The Colonel seems restless and Teal'c… well Teal'c is just… Teal'c.

"I'm here, I'm here… okay we can go now." A voice rings from the door before a very out of breath Daniel appears through it. "Sorry guys, got a little held up by…"

"Yeah, yeah Danny, just get your butt to this ramp before I kick it all the way to Chulak." The Colonel says, rolling his eyes and stamping one foot on the cement floor. Daniel lengthens his step a little and reaches the ramp in two steps flat.

"O'Neill, I do not believe it is possible to kick DanielJackson's butt to Chulak." Teal'c says lifting an eyebrow towards the sky.

"Teal'c." The colonel gives him a warning glance.

"Another Tauri saying O'Neill?" The colonel just sighs and throws his hands up in the air. He's been really impatient with everyone lately. 'Note to self: ask the colonel what's wrong before situation gets out of hand.'

The Gate starts to turn. I can't wait. This may be the new breakthrough earth has been waiting for, a new mineral, a new plant, maybe a new civilization. This is what I love about working at Stargate Command, discovery.

"Chevron three encoded." Lieutenant Simmon's voice rang over the intercom. I look up to where he's sitting behind the computer. I sometimes wonder if he doesn't wish to go on a mission himself, instead of just sitting behind that computer dialing other people through the gate and into the galaxy. "Chevron six encoded."

Something pokes me in the ribs. I turn and come face to face with an annoyed looking colonel.

"Chevron seven… locked." Before I have a chance to think about the Colonel's doings the gate comes to life and the brilliant wave of the event horizon comes splashing towards us. I'll never get tired of that sight. I make my way to the ramp still feeling the colonel's eyes on my back.

"SG-1, you have a go." General Hammond's voice rings through the gateroom and I make my way up the ramp toward the event horizon with Teal'c on my tail. I love this ride, it's the most thrilling thing I've ever experience. No roller coaster or fighter jet plane can ever come close to this experience.

I step down the steps from the gate immediately scouting the surroundings for threat. Not that there is any, just out of habit. You never know. Teal'c is standing next to me looking at the trees on the other side of the big grass field that surrounds the gate. The landscape looks pretty much like other planets we've seen in the past. A big patch of grass that stretches from the gate to the forest, huge trees going to who knows where and beyond that the blue shadows of mountains.

"Ah, trees. Well Carter, let's go get your rocks." I was so caught up in the scenery I didn't hear the colonel come up from behind. Bad Major, what if it was someone else, you could get killed that way. The gate shut down and I start walking towards the forest, the rest of SG-1 behind me. 'Something is really wrong here. It's too quiet. No birds, no animals, not even the sound of wind through the trees.'
