"I think we should go back to P3C-423," Daniel said, pacing the debriefing room. "I know there is something there that can tell me what is going on."
"Daniel, there was nothing on that planet," Jack said, slightly annoyed at his endless pacing.
"Not that we saw," he admitted. "But we hardly saw anything of the planet. There *has* to be something there. I don't know, maybe they live underground or even further away from the Stargate, but I know there is *something* there!"
"Now, just slow down, Dr. Jackson," Gen. Hammond said, tired of watching him pace the room. "If you will just sit down, we can go over what options we have to handle this situation." Daniel nodded and sat down across from Sam. "Maj. Carter, what are your thoughts on this situation?"
"Well," Sam started slowly, "I think that since all of us, except for Teal'c of course, since we all saw the same thing at the same time, there must be a reason. Maybe Daniel's right, maybe there is a race of people on P3C-423. They could have technology similar to the Nox and we just couldn't see them."
"*Or*?" Jack demanded as she trailed off.
"Or maybe the vision had nothing to do with the planet and we're just seeing a ghost," she said simply.
"Ah, damn!" Jack muttered. "We're all going crazy."
"Not according to MacKenzie," Janet pointed out. "Except for the vision you shared yesterday, you're all perfectly healthy."
"What's your personal opinion of the situation, Doctor?" Hammond demanded.
"Honestly, I don't know," she admitted. "I may be sceptical, but I'm going to chalk this one up to good old-fashioned ghosts."
"It's the Ascended," Daniel said out of no-where. "One of them is trying to contact us."
The whole room turned to stare at him. "Where did that come from?" Jack demanded.
Daniel shrugged, looking as shocked as they all felt. "I have no idea. It just came to me and I had to say it."
Sam turned away from Daniel and looked at Gen. Hammond. "Sir, I was just about to say the same thing," she admitted. "Somewhere in my mind, it just seemed to make sense."
"I thought the same thing," Jack said grudgingly. "I think we should go back to P3C-423 and find out what the hell is going on." Gen. Hammond nodded his consent.
Before he could give the command to prepare for departure, a thought sprang into Janet's mind. "Why is it Teal'c is the only one who never saw the girl?" An odd silence filled the room when no one could think of a logical answer.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Sam said as walked into the locker room to get ready for embarkation. Jack looked up at her in the doorframe as he finished lacing up his boots. She suddenly shook her head and corrected herself. "No, not bad, weird. It's like, if we leave, we're going to miss something *here*."
He nodded. "I know what you mean. But we're not going to find anything if we don't go looking for it. She's not just going to appear through the Gate." They both looked up as the familiar warning sounded throughout the base. "Is it just me, or does it look like we're not going off-world anymore?" Jack asked, as they hurried to the Gate Room.

"Unscheduled off-world activation," the gate technician confirmed.
"Do we have a team due back?" Hammond asked.
The technician shook his head. "No, sir. But... it appears to be the Nox," he commented at Lya passed trough the Iris, a blindfolded girl holding onto her shoulder. The girl stumbled and fell onto the ramp as SG-1 hurried into the Gate Room.
"Oh my god!" Daniel exclaimed as he looked at the girl.
"It's her!" Sam said, unable to contain her shock, both at seeing her and knowing her gut feeling had been correct. "If this is what it's like to be psychic, I don't think I like it."
"This is too weird," Jack muttered.
"The girl is cold," Lya informed them. "Can you not do something for her?"
"I think we should go back to P3C-423," Daniel said, pacing the debriefing room. "I know there is something there that can tell me what is going on."
"Daniel, there was nothing on that planet," Jack said, slightly annoyed at his endless pacing.
