Chapter 28: A Digging Do
"Jacob where's the first aid kits?" Jack shouted.
"Near the FRED. Have you seen the location device?" Jacob shouted back looking franticly.
"Wow this think is so cool." Cris said looking around.
"Just don't touch anything some of the equipment I don't even understand." Jack warned. "Found it."
"The location device?" Jacob asked hopefully.
"No the first aid kit I don't even know what a location device looks like that's Teal'cs and Sam's department. Oh wait this looks goauldish." Jack said picking up a small gold control thingy with lights on it with one hand while his other held a pressure bandage against his head.
Jacob walked up and took it off Jack "Nope that's the personal emergency signalling beacon."
"Oh yea I should have totally have known that." Jack said sarcastically.
"You know Jack I could always put a couple of stitches in that while I'm stitching your mouth closed." Jacob said slightly annoyed.
"No it is ok I'll live. Hey what about this?" he said spotting a long gold device.
"Nope this is no use I'm just going to use the ships sensors it would be quicker." Jacob said heading for the helm.
"But Jacob what about the population of this planet…" Jack asked.
"They'll love this thing we all knew that you weren't from our planet so this won't be too much of a surprise." Cris said walking up to Jack.
"How did you know when we didn't even know?" Jack asked shocked.
"From what Mr Philips said there is a small physiology difference. I was told to keep my eye on you but when it appeared you weren't a threat I stopped reporting to him."
"Well that's nice you were sent to spy on us."
"At first yea but know I think you're one of my best friends, Sam's the other."
"Well isn't that nice. See Jacob and you thought I couldn't make friends." Jack said turning to Jacob.
"You both better hold on I'm going to take off." With that he turned on the engine and got the ship off the ground.
"Hi we're here to help Sam told us to meet her here." Theodore said as he walked over the rumble with several other men.
"Great we need to move this rumble to find a big metal ring that's some where under here." Daniel explained Theodore indicated to the men to get working and they did.
"So where's Sam?" Daniel asked.
"Right here" she walked up behind him with some more men and a few women all holding either food or drink. "We brought refreshments. While you men work us women are going to keep you supplied with all the goodies needed to do some proper work." She said as Kasty set up a table to put the stuff on she then turned and put the jugs she was holding down onto the table.
"You know Sam you could help you know." Daniel said Sam was trying to think of a reason on why she couldn't help without letting it slip that she was pregnant.
"She's in charge of refreshments." Freya said. "Wouldn't want you going thirsty?" It worked Daniel just nodded and got back to work with the other's.
"Thanks Freya." Sam said relieved that she didn't have to lie to one of her best friends.
"Don't worry about it; you are in charge of refreshments." Just then the Tokra communication device she always had on her bleeped. "Yea?"
"Hi Freya its Selmak, we have had to use the ships sensors I couldn't find the Location Device. We will be there in a minute could you warn the others and get everyone away from the rumble while I run a scan." She had changed to Anise.
"Yes I will do that. The location device is in the engine room by the way." She then turned to the men on the heap and changed back to Freya.
"Can everyone get down from there for a couple of minutes? While we just find out where exactly we should be…"
"What the hell is that?" Glen said looking to the north.
"That's a ship it's just going to run a quick scan then we can get back to work." Daniel said. It was now right above them and Teal'c noticed the rings coming down from the ship. Next minute both Cris and Jack was stood in the middle of the confused crowd.
"Cool." Cris said as his mum stepped forward. Jacob got on with running the scans
"Isn't it just. Hey babe I hope you weren't doing any lifting?" He said in a whisper to Sam.
"Nope I'm refreshment manager." She said hugging him just then Freya's communication device bleeped again.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Finished I'm just going to park I'll be there in a minute tell them to work towards the back of the building. That is where it is. Tell Sam the DHD is still intact as well." Jacob said.
"Will do see you in a minute." She said, she then waved at the ship and it sped off. "Sam the DHD is intact and the men can get back to work, they just need to work a bit further back they aren't close enough."
"Ok then." Jack said. "Guys back to work, Jules put Cris down he's ok we need him in one piece so he can help." He gave Sam a quick kiss then went to join Daniel and Teal'c who were both already throwing pieces of rubble away.
