I suppose I'd better get back on track now… so, the second of my "instalments" in one day! YAY.
Chapter 6
Alex gasped as the Stargate opened. He had never seen it open before, only when the event horizon had fully settled. There was a loud whooshing, then a big bubble of what looked like water came out from the Stargate before it settled.
General Landry said over the intercom, "SG1 and SG13, you have a mission."
With that, they walked through the gate.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAlex staggered out of the gate, feeling very sick. He was lucky there weren't any Jaffa. He would have thrown up all over them. As it was, he was quietly sick in a corner. He looked up to see Sam looking at him. He looked at his shoes, embarrassed.
She smiled at him. "Don't worry, you get used to it after a while."
Alex merely nodded. There was no way he could talk.
Jack was giving instructions but all Alex heard was, "SG1, follow me."
So he did.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgThey had walked for about 15 minutes before they came to gleaming white building, which somewhat resembled an insane hospital. There were two Jaffa standing outside the door, guarding. Daniel sighed.
Jack glanced at him. "What?"
"Are we gonna sneak in or shoot them?"
Cameron frowned. "Shoot them I think. If we break in there will be an alarm or something."
Jack cast him an annoyed look. "Thankyou, colonel. Just remember who's in charge here."
Sam smiled into her sleeve.
"You got a better idea, sir?" Cameron asked innocently.
"No… but we're gonna zat them. Less noise."
SG1 nodded. Jack smiled. Good. His team hadn't forgotten the chain of command in his absence.
"Alex, let's see how you are with a zat."
Alex smiled to himself, took out his zat and shot the two guards before they even realised that they had been hit.
Cameron whistled softly. "Nice shot."
Alex smiled. "Thanks. How long with they be out for?"
Everybody looked at Sam. She blushed, like she always did when she didn't know the answer.
"Long enough."
Jack smiled softly at her. "Good enough for me."
SG1 ran down the hill and into the complex.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgIt was Alex that found the holding cell for the "lab rat" slaves. There were four of them, with only one guard sanding outside the door.
OK, Alex thought. They were aiming to do this with minimum hassle. Which meant not being discovered. Which meant only shoot when necessary. Alex shrugged. What the hell. He pulled out his zat and shot the guard.
He then sauntered past him, pausing only to pick up the keys to the cell.
He walked in and unlocked the cell to find all four slaves sound asleep. There was also absolutely no way of knowing which one was Vala. Rats. He woke them all, silencing them by outing his hand over their mouths. "Shh."
Their eyes widened. There were two men and two women. One of the women had a black eye and a cut on her leg. The other was pregnant. One of the men looked like he had a broken arm. Alex frowned. This was gonna be harder than he had first thought.
Just then an alarm went off so loudly that it was all Alex could do to put his head in his hands and run away. Instead he swore violently, but he couldn't hear himself anyway. Beckoning to the slaves to follow him, he ran out.
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgDaniel had been walking along with Jack, stealthily. He stopped at a wall covered in hieroglyphics. Of a type he hadn't seen before! A look of pure delight entered his eyes. He reached out and touched one of the symbols. Then an alarm went off, making Jack jump and deafening Daniel. Jack scowled at him. "Did you touch something?"
Sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sg1sgAs Alex approached the gate he yelled to SG13, "Open the gate!"
Immediately a member of SG13 started punching the buttons on the DHD. A familiar whooshing sound was heard and the four "lab rats" dived through the gate.
Alex took up a position behind the DHD and pulled out his gun. He glanced at SG13. "Get ready for some action guys. And girl." He said as he noticed the one female member of SG13.

As soon as Sam, Cameron and Teal'c heard the alarm go off they had started running
back to the gate, hell for leather. Behind them, Jaffa started pouring out of the building and firing staff weapons at them.
As soon as they neared the gate, they took up defensive positions and started firing back.
Daniel and Jack ran up, under heavy fire. The Jaffa had also taken up positions, at a distance. Alex ducked as a bullet pinged past his head. He yelled to Jack, "Should we go back, sir?"
Jack nodded. "Teal'c, Daniel, get your asses through that gate!"
Teal'c and Daniel dived though the gate, closely followed by SG13.
Jack looked at Sam. "Now you, Carter. Rider, cover her."
Sam got up and ran for the gate. Just as she did, Alex felt something coming at him. He was hit with tremendous force by an invisible force. He was thrown off his feet and winded.
A yell came from Sam's direction. Crap. She was hit. He heard Cameron yelling at him from a distance. Ignoring the pain in his ribs, he got up, picked Sam up with an effort and dived through the gate. Then he thankfully let the floor knock him out.
