A/N: I do not own these characters or the shows they come from. I'm just borrowing them for short while.
Inside the lead van, Major Carter was looking at computer printouts. A map of the Smallville countryside was laid out on a desk, with a red dot in a certain area.
"That where the ship is?" Colonel O'Neill nodded to the dot on the map.
"So far as all the current information we possess, including data from the advanced commercial satellites on loan and the telemetry extrapolation-"
Col. O'Neill cut Maj. Carter off in mid-sentence. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Are there any residences in the area?" Dr. Jackson asked.
"Fields." Maj. Carter replied. "Lots and lots of fields." She held up a printout. "According to the intelligence that General Hammond sent us, the field that the ship is in-and we're not even completely sure it's a ship-is owned by a local organic produce farmer named Jonathan Kent. The main house appears to be some distance away, and it's possible that no one has discovered the object yet."
"And if someone has? What's our story supposed to be? I've heard that some of these farmers have shotguns and aren't afraid to use them." Daniel looked a little perturbed at the thought.
Col. O'Neill patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll think of something."
The walkie talkie sitting on the table by the map suddenly crackled to life. "Uh, Colonel? We have company." The driver spoke to them.
Col. O'Neill answered. "What is it, Sergeant?"
"Sir," the driver replied. "There is a vehicle approaching us at great speed from the direction that we are heading. It's possible that they might have seen something. You asked to be informed."
"Thank you Sergeant. Pull over and stop the other vehicle. If they're locals, they can tell us the road to the Kent lands." Col. O'Neill finished.
"Yes, sir." The driver replied.
"If they've been in contact with the alien object, they need to be checked out, sir." Dr. Fraiser said.
"I'm aware of that, Doc, and that's why Maj. Carter is going to do her own check as well." Col. O'Neill was referring to her ability to sense the parasitic alien Goa'uld that could take over a host body. She had come by that ability the hard way, but it had proven useful on numerous occasions. Maj. Carter nodded, and the team tensed for action.
to be continued-really sorry! I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I had a whole scene laid out in my head when I was supposed to be working g>, and when I got home to write it, it disappeared :( I'll make up for it with a longer chapter next time. Thanks for your reviews!
