A really really short chapter that I wrote out of boredom. I was going to start a serious story but I keep finding myself writing humor. Well, as humorous as I could make it! Reviews are great, really like reviews.

"Daniel, what's up?" Jack asked, a hint of worry laced through the words spoken so casually.
Daniel waved Jack away distractedly without breaking the quiet discussion with the locals. Jack knew it was serious when there were none of the enthusiastic gestures or animated expressions on his face; the whole group, in fact, was quite subdued.
Sam cast the colonel a look that spoke volumes while Teal'c remain ever vigilant to their surroundings. "Whatever it is, sir, it couldn't have been us this time."
"This time, Major?" Jack teared his gaze away from the increasingly agitated group to raise an inquiring brow at her.
"A majority of the problems we've encountered with off-world cultures could be traced back to the moment of our arrival." Teal'c stated it as a matter of fact.
Jack turn his eyes to the Jaffa, "doesn't mean it was our fault!"
Sam slid an involuntary glance to Teal'c before replying, "yes, sir."
"Carter, if you're implying--"
"Jack? We've gotta go." Daniel was hurrying back to his team, the locals hard on his heels and looking either angry or fearful; it was hard to tell with the overall panic in their body language.
"What's going on?" The colonel in O'Neill demanded even while his trust in his friend urged his team to get moving.
"Some sort of ritual we, uh, accidentally interrupted. We just don't want to be here." Daniel's pace quicken as he replied.
"What will happen if we were to remain?" Teal'c asked, though he show no outward concern.
"Um, I'll explain later." Their cultural expert cast a backwards glance before breaking into a jog.
"It doesn't involve us being frayed alive, does it?" Typical cynical Jack question, but it elicited no response from Daniel.
"Does it?" Jack enunciated each word carefully.
"Well..."
"Our timing really really sucks."
Sam couldn't help agreeing whole-heartedly.
