"Good luck and gods speed SG-1."General Hammond said to his flagship team just after the event horizon of the Stargate was formed.
"Okay campers, let's go." Jack said to his team after giving Hammond a quick wave and a small salute.
Daniel rolled his eyes and started up the ramp. Teal'c nodded his head and followed Daniel. Sam and Jack quickly followed Daniel and Teal'c by they stayed behind them rather that going beside them.
"Which way?" Jack asked when they stepped thorough the gate on P8X 582. There were several paths leading away from the gate onto a nearby forest.
"That doesn't make any sense." Daniel muttered looking around the immediate area around the Stargate. "There should be a transportation device around."
"Maybe you need one of those stone thingys." Jack said, "How far to the city?"
Daniel pulled out one of the images that the UAV took and studied it for several minutes. "It's..." he conformed what the picture said, "Three clicks..." Daniel looked at the compass on his watch, "South west, that way." He pointed down the middle path. He then put the picture away and SG-1 started their long walk to he ancient city.
After almost two hours of walking, it was getting darker, and fast. "Daniel," Jack asked, he was starting to get worried that they weren't going to make it to the city before dark, "When's nightfall?"
Daniel stoped walking, "Umm.. Well this planet's orbit and rotation is similar to ours and.."
Jack waved his hand in the air, "Ah, in simple language please." Jack heard Sam let out a small giggle.
"It should be night in a little over an hour."
"And why didn't you tell me this before?" Jack asked, he was slightly annoyed.
"Umm.." Daniel couldn't think of a reason.
When Jack realized that Daniel didn't have an answer he sighed, "Are there any caves around here that we could use for the night?"
Daniel pulled out the planets map and studied it for a moment. "Nope, none."
Jack thought for a moment, "All right here's the plan, we'll go a little off of the trail, find a good spot then set up a camp for the night. At first light tomorrow, we'll move out and continue on to the city.
"Yes sir." Sam said and followed Jack off the path and into the forest. Daniel and Teal'c nodded to themselves then followed their CO.
Half an hour later, SG-1 had found a spot, their tents were pitched, and four ration packs were being boiled over a crackling fire. After several minutes, Sam emerged from her tent ant poked at the M.R.E.'s.
"Hey guys!" She called out in the general direction of the tents, "Dinner," 'If you can call it that' "Is ready." Soon Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c quicky emerged from their tents, collected their meals, and sat around the fire. Daniel and Teal'c on one log, Jack and Sam on the other.
"Carter." Jack said around a mouthful of food, "You take the first watch, then, wake me up after two hours. I'll wake Daniel up two hours after that, then Daniel, you wake Teal'c up two hours later. Teal'c at day break you'll wake up everyone." Everyone nodded their heads. "Okay, good, now it's bed time." Daniel and Teal'c went into their tents but, Jack stayed behind.
"Sir?" Sam asked looking over at him.
"Ya know," he started in a playful tone, "I'll need some help to haul my ass out of bed in two hours."
"Sir?" Sam questioned again. 'Oh god, what does he want me to do?' Sam was starting to get really worried.
Jack heard the worried tone in her voice. 'What does she think I'm talking about?' he thought. "I'm talking about coffee Carter." Jack heard Sam let out a breath of air, "What did you think I was talking about?" Jack asked narrowing his eyes.
"Nothing sir, I was going to make coffee for myself anyways sir, but I'll save you some."
"Oh, okay, thanks. Goodnight Carter."
"Goodnight sir." Sam said as she watched him go into his tent. 'I really need to get my mind out of the gutter!' She thought then continued on making coffee.
Two hours later, Sam picked up the cup of coffee that she had made for her CO and headed over to the Colonel's tent. "Sir" She said cautiously opening the flaps on his tent then quietly walking in.
Jack was laying on his back and was softly snoring. Sam quietly walked to his head and crouched down. "Wow, he looks so much more relaxed and peaceful when he is sleeping.'
Sam started to slowly wave the cup of coffee in front of Jacks face. "Colonel, time to get up."
Jacks POV
Jack had woken up when Sam had entered his tent. 'What's she doing? Why is Sam crouching over me?' Jack felt something moving over his face 'Mmmm... Coffee.'
Normal POV
Jacks eyes opened. Jack pulled one arm out of his sleeping bag and took the cup of coffee from Sam. "Mmmm..Coffee." He said and Sam giggled.
Sam stood up, "You've got five minutes until my watch ends sir." She then left Jacks tent and returned to the hot, crackling fire.
Four minutes later, Jack joined Sam by the fire, "Any more coffee?" He asked as he sat down beside her.
"Yes sir, a little bit, but you might want to make more or you'll have an impossible time waking Daniel up." Sam shivered
Jack chuckled, "Okay, you go get some sleep now."
"Yes sir." Sam stood up and started to walk over to her tent. "Goodnight sir."
"G 'night Carter."
