SG1 helped Kali and Braiyn to get ready for another mission. Kali being the translator for them as Daniel continued to work on getting their language right. Soon they were all geared up and read to go.

They waited in the gateroom for the Stargate to activate. SG teams 2 and 7 were going along for the ride as well.

WHOOSH!

The shimmer began.

"Ok… this is a simple search and rescue operation." Jack said, standing on the ramp, facing the men and women. "Kali and Braiyn will be leading us through… I don't want you to stop for anything unless absolutely necessary or you could get separated from the rest of us…. Any questions?"

Everyone stayed quiet as Jack's eyes scanned the heads of the members lined up waiting to go through.

"Let's go then!" Jack turned and headed through the event horizon, the children and the SG teams following him. Once the last man was through the gate powered down.

"Good Luck Colonel" Hammond said as the blue shimmer quickly died down and the room was thrown into slight darkness.

On the planet, originally designated as P3X – 197, now known as Yayda, the sun was up and there were birds flying high in the sky, singing their songs as they flew. A few clouds scattered across the sky indicating that it was going to be quite a nice day for travelling.

Daniel looked over his shoulder at the two kids and saw that Kali was staying very close to Braiyn. She now had her mother's necklace around her neck, and walking through the tress, where the sunlight hit it between the branches it glistened and twinkled.

"Hey, Kali!" Daniel called as he moved closer to the girl. "How long will the journey take to get to your town or city."

"Maybe about 8 hours." Braiyn replied. Daniel looked at him in slight shock at hearing him speak English.

"Ok… how long have you managed to speak like us?"

"A few minutes!" Braiyn said with a smile. "Kali has taught me." his smile grew winder.

Daniel patted the boy on the shoulder sub-consciously. "That's good." The archaeologist nodded as he continued walking along with them both.

Kali soon stopped by a large tree and watched as a small lizard ran up the dark bark close to the ground. She then held out her hand in the lizard's path and it crawled over her hand. Moving her hand away from the bark and began to carry the little lizard along the path with her.

"You sure you wanna be doing that?" Daniel asked as he watched Kali gently stroking the dark green lizard.

Her head turned to look at Daniel and she smiled. "The Lizard won't bite. He has no teeth." She then opened her palm allowing the lizard to crawl up her arm. It soon rested on her shoulder and there it stayed, not moving any more. It's chest only moving in and out with each little breath it took.

Up ahead Jack had stopped walking and had one hand help up by the side of his head indicating everyone should stop talking and walking. He then slowly crouched down to the ground as he heard voices. The soldiers from the other SG teams followed suit and readied their guns.

Daniel quickly located a large tree with a thick trunk not far from where they stood. Tapping the two children on the shoulder they moved over where they hid, Teal'c watched as they moved and quietly his made his way closer to the trio and crouched down where he had a clear enough view of the surroundings, giving Daniel, Kali and Braiyn some protection.

Everyone was now staying perfectly still.

As two people stepped closer to area they were unaware they were being watched. They stopped for a second, only a few feet away from where Jack was hidden. They took out a scroll and looked at it. Each had his head buried in what ever was written on the light brown parchment. With the sun behind them and shinning onto the scroll, black markings could be made out, markings which looked as though they could be small icons. After a minute or two One of them began to roll up the scroll and as it was moved away from their faces they saw what was ahead of them.

Jack had come out of his hiding position and was now holding a Zat in front of him, armed and ready to fire on the two Jaffa.

"Morning lads. Nice day isn't it?" Jack said.

The two Jaffa quickly reached for their weapons, but Jack, being ready, fired on each of them, they slumped to the floor, unconscious, the scroll rolled for a couple of feet and stopped.

At the sound of the zat the rest of the group came out of hiding.

"Hey, Daniel… you might want to take a look at this." Jack called as he threw the scroll though the air to the translator slash archaeologist.

The unprepared man fumbled around as the scroll came flying towards him, hitting him right on the top of the head and falling to his left side. Braiyn quickly caught it in his hands before it fell to the floor. He then passed it to Daniel, who was rubbing his head from where the wood had hit him.

"Sorry." Jack called back as he noticed Daniel was giving him an icy glare.

Ignoring his head he turned his attention to the object in his hands. The parchment was smooth, but now slightly grubby from landing in the dirt. He unrolled it from its central wooden stick and studied it carefully. Teal'c moved to stand behind Daniel so he was able to see what it was the other Jaffa had been looking at.

The black in on the parchment clearly showed was appeared to be a map of some sorts. Writing in Goa'uld up in one corner, most likely directions.

Unlike any pirate treasure map that would have been found on Earth this map had no large "X" to mark the spot of where the treasure was. Whatever it was they were after Daniel was either going to have to translate the writing in the top right hand corner, or if that didn't give any clues, follow the directions himself.

"What is it Daniel?" Sam called back, noticing the group surrounding Daniel.

Hearing his name began to move forward, still studying the map. Teal'c, Braiyn and Kali moved with him, also not wanting to take their eyes off the scroll.

"Umm." Daniel began still lost deep in thought of the map. "It looks like map!"

"Indeed. Daniel Jackson is correct. It is a map." Teal'c replied and broke away from the group quickening his pace to stand side by side with Jack, keeping a close eye on the two unconscious Jaffa. He looked at their marks. A curly central X with a wavy line beneath it, a large dot at the top of the X and a smaller one beneath the wavy line. It was not one he recognised from his services with Apophis.

"A map of what?" Jack asked. Daniel was now standing just a few feet away from Jack.

And looked up at Jack, his face now in direct line with e ray of sunlight. He squinted his eyes so he could just about make out the shiloutte of Jack. "I have no idea." He paused and looked at the two Jaffa. "But they might have been following it, so it's most likely a map of here."

Kali pulled down on one of Daniel's arms hoping to get a better look at the map. "It is!" She called out instantly recognising one of the icons. She placed her finger on a large triangle shaped icon with a squiggly circle above it. "Is this is the mountain close to our town."

"And that is the river that runs through our town." Braiyn added as he pointed to a curvy line running the whole length of the map.

"Treasure hunting Goa'uld." Jack said. "Not their usual daily routine." He said and turned around ready to move off. Daniel's words quickly stopped his feet from moving.

"Don't you think it's worth taking a look to find out what they were searching for?"

Jack shook his head. "No Daniel I don't… I think trying to help Kali and Braiyn is the most important thing to do right now." With a wave of his hand jack indicated that they should keep moving.

After Teal'c and a couple of Lieutenants had tied the two Jaffa up to a tree, preventing them from alerting their lord to their presence they moved off. The sun was now high in the sky showing at was around mid-day and there was still a long walk till they reached the town.
