Anxiously Samantha Carter paced the Gate-room, her fingers flying over the many straps of her uniform, tightening and adjusting. Her green cap sat securely atop her short blonde hair. She was looking foreward to this mission, the planet seemed to be littered with abandoned mechanical devices, her own personal paradise. Smiling she glanced up at the control room, wondering how long it would be before they could leave.
"What are you smiling about Carter."
"I can't wait to get my hands on some of those devices, at least one or more of them could help us to defeat the Gouald."
Jack was about to respond when General Hammonds Voice sounded over the intercom, the gate simultaneously Whooshed into life.
"SG-1 You have a go, Godspeed."
Colonel O'Neill stepped onto the ramp followed closely by Sam, he pulled his cap farther down his head.
"You heard the man kids, move out."
Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter stepped into the event Horizon. Unknown to them a powerful storm was raging on the chosen planet. As the two stepped into the wormhole a bolt of lightning struck the Stargate on the planet. In the control room Teal'c And Daniel Jackson paused as the Stargate moaned, sparks of electricity warning them to step back. A loud explosion told everyone that the Gate had overloaded, sending Teal'c And Daniel flying backwards.
Jack was the first one to be thrown from the stargate, landing on the rough ground with a thud, he was followed by Carter who was also thrown from the gate, landing a metre or so from him. Groaning Jack rose to his feet, brushing off the dust. Adjusting his cap he looked around. They seemed to be in a meadow, there was green grass as far as the eye could see. Off to the left was a few mountains, their peaks blurred into the distant sky. Where-ever they were it was warm enough. Breaking himself out of his revere he turned to look at Carter, noticing that Daniel and Teal'c were no-where to be seen.
"You okay Carter?"
Dusting herself off she picked herself off the ground, taking her own moment to look around. She had noticed their missing team mates as well. What was going on.
"I think so Sir"
"Carter, What just happened?"
"I don't know Sir, but this isn't P3X 5789. The M.A.L.P showed that it was supposed to be a desert world."
"Could it have malfunctioned?"
"I don't think so Sir. It's possible that the gate malfunctioned. There was a small storm system moving into the area of the gate, It's possible that a bolt of lightning struck the gate, making the wormhole jump to another Stargate"
"What about Daniel and Teal'c?"
"Well sir...either they didn't go through, or they are either dead, or somewhere else"
"Okay, Dial us home"
"Yes sir"
Sam moved to the DHD and started pressing the seven symbols representing Earth. A frown marred her already worried face. The symbols were not lighting up, and neither was the Stargate. This was not a good sign. Lowering her head, she sighed and dropped to the ground. Time to examine the DHD, hopefully it was a problem that she could fix.
"Problem Carter?"
"Not sure Sir, The gate isn't working. I'm going to open up the DHD. Hopefully it's something that I can fix."
Throwing her wrench to the ground she cursed. There didn't seem to be anything wrong. Her memory drifted back to Antartica, all those feelings of uselessness returned. Sighing she rose to her feet, her eyes falling on the Colonel who was seated on a fallen log. He too was worried, but was masking it well. You didn't spend years with someone without learning to read them.
"Sir, I don't know what's wrong, Everything seems to be working fine. It should work. I don't understand"
He had caught the worry in her voice, once again the two of them were stranded on an unknown world, the gate not working. The odds of them being on Earth like last time, were slim to none, no way would their be a third gate. Putting on his best smile he rose from the log.
"It's okay Carter, Not your fault. Why don't we go have a look around, find a good place to set up camp."
Sighing she nodded in agreement and gathered up her equipment. She had been blaming herself, apparently he had learned to read her as well.
