A/N: This is post Janet, pre season 8. I don't know when I got the initial idea, but I found the teaser today, and decided to go from there. I hope you enjoy, and please don't forget to R&R. Your reviews are always welcome. Thank you. Trekkie Lizard
A team of four people walk through a liquid wall of blue shimmering water. The leader of the base walks to the bottom of the ramp atop which the secret 'Stargate' sits, over looking the room in which it stays.
The elder, leader of the base General Hammond, smiles, "Welcome back, SG-1. How was the mission?"
"X42 went well, the people were really nice. Daniel can tell you more about them." Jack O'Neill forced a smile.
The all looked wet, well, all that is, except Doctor Daniel Jackson, the team's archaeologist. He looked dry to the bone, and wasn't wearing his glasses.
Not really understanding the scene before him, George Hammond ushered them past and into the infirmary.
Upon arrival within the cold and sterile environment, the entire team was checked over thoroughly. They waited for the test results to come back from the lab.
While they were waiting, they started talking about the mission. They were all in fresh clothes now, and seemed glad to be back home again.
"So, Daniel, what did you learn about them?" Jack asked, looking directly at his long time friend.
Daniel shrugged, "Not much really."
Jack felt as if there was something wrong with Daniel because he would never stop there. Daniel was the type that liked to run on and on about everything he knew on any particular subject. It was rare that he wouldn't go into detail.
But then again, perhaps he was just tired from the mission. He didn't sleep much, and was away from the team most of the time, learning about the people on the planet that they were visiting. Yeah, Daniel was just tired.
"Sam, T, are you both good and dried off?" Jack asked, relaxing in his warm and dry clothing.
The other two nodded, but Teal'c looked perplexed. Sam asked the question he was most definitely thinking of, "Why didn't Daniel get wet?"
"I told you, the storm wasn't in the part of the village I was in." Daniel explained, defensively.
Sam was taken aback, "Gee, nothing to get up tight about."
"She's right. That storm lasted for hours. How come you didn't get a drop on you?" The team commander intervened.
Daniel rolled his eyes and shrugged. He had already explained himself several times. When would they just shut up and believe him when he said something?
"Well, I got the results back", the doctor said, flipping through the mountain of paperwork in her hands to find their charts, "Colonel O'Neill, you're free to go. Major Carter, also free to go. Teal'c, you're in perfect health. Doctor Jackson, I need you to stay."
Just as the other team members were leaving, they heard the doc telling Daniel that he had to stay for observation and probably more testing. Something aroused suspicion in the rest of the team, but Daniel didn't seem bothered.
Agreeing to stay, the rest of the team walked off with strange looks on their faces. There was something about Daniel, and they didn't know what was going on with their good friend.
