Chapter 4

When Chris and Greg caught up to Sg-3, they signaled Royce and Corbin to come to their position and around the other side. As Royce arrived, Chris got a radio message from Lt. Ford saying "Sir, we are through the gate and awaiting your orders".

Chris responded "Ford, set up an ambush about 100 yards closer to the gate than we are. Line up on both sides of the path and as the enemy arrives close in and we will turn to attack again. Then once they are dead, we can proceed to the gate and leave. Call me when you are ready. We will attack once you are settled. Chris out."

Lt. Ford clicked his radio in understanding. Chris then ordered his team to their positions. Their first objective would be to take SG-3 back, so the odds would improve. Then they could make toward the waiting ambush. Once everyone was settled, they waited for the

signal from Lt. Ford.

About two hours after talking with Lt. Ford, SG-X received the signal that showed Ford was ready. Chris then ordered everyone to go. Chris stood and immediately zatted the two guards nearest him, just as Royce did the same. Everyone proceeded toward the guarded tent. Once they were inside they woke SG-3 and handed them zats. Then Chris and Greg went out of the tent. They ran to the other tents and setting off grenades destroyed several tents. Guards starting shooting at Greg, and Royce led Sg-3 out of the tent. Greg responded by blowing up several lines of claymores he had set in the tree lines, earlier for distractions.

Several guards started calling on what appeared to be radios, requesting help. Chris started aiming random shotgun blast at large groups of guards. Everyone took of for the treeline once an opportunity arose. Chris and Greg took rear shooting at guards as everyone took of running to get to the ambush. Greg took a shot to the shoulder, but Chris was there to grab him and drop several grenades to cover their escape. Once they were covered, Chris called Royce back to help him. When Royce appeared, they picked Greg up since he had passed out. They reached the ambush point with guards on their rear. Lt. Ford ordered his teams out and the pursing guards were killed from grenades and gun fire. Chris ordered Ford to assign two people to help Greg. Chris then order Royce with him and they told ford to make his way to the gate as fast as possible. More guards would be behind them, since it seemed that the guards had been close to their base. Chris

and Royce then took of running for the gate.

Once at the gate, Chris dialed up the SGC and told them to send through the extra teams that were suited up. Then he closed the gate. Immediately SG-1, SG-2, and SG-3 came through surprisingly on four wheelers. Chris ordered SG-2 to guard the gate and took one of their four wheelers as Royce hopped on another. They took off for the treeline heading back toward the other teams.

When they were close to Ford's position, Chris tapped his radio and ordered "Ford, we are about twenty-five yards in front of you and on four wheelers. Get here and get on so we can get Greg back to the SGC." About forty seconds later, Ford and the other soldiers appeared a few yards away and Greg was loaded onto Royce's four wheeler. Chris then ordered everyone but himself, Sam, and Teal'c back to the gate. They would provide interference for the teams to get back.
