By the time Sam and Jack reached the Stargate Daniel had already begun to preoccupy himself with the small hand held tablet. He sat indian style with his back resting against F.R.E.D., book in one hand, tablet in the other and two other books on the ground in front of him, pages flapping slightly in the warm breeze. Along with the books, was a single notebook page covered in Daniel's unmistakable scribbles.
Daniel, you're the only man I know of who can calmly and patiently sit down on an alien planet and translate the writings on some old rock. said Jack. Daniel didn't move other than to write something down. Where'd you find this thing? The question was directed at Teal'c.
While we were headed back to the Stargate Daniel Jackson tripped over a small box buried within the sand. The tablet was inside. he answered.
Is the writing goa'uld? asked Jack.
said Daniel never looking up, Save it, Daniel, what does it say?
Daniel just held up a finger telling Jack to wait, to with which Jack responded to with and exasperated sigh. Daniel flipped through the pages of one of his books until he found what he was looking for and punched the book with the finger that had been pointing at Jack. was all he said.
Jack said a bit forcibly.
Okay, Okay, I think I got it. Daniel said standing up, wiping the sand from his pants. Okay, basically, it says that they,' whoever they' are, don't have a way to activate the great ring' of this world with the great ring's paired devise'. But, apparently they' do have a way to open the interjected Jack, Daniel scanned the tablet, as the second globe of fire, the sun, ascends above the land the way to our people will be revealed. Follow the road that will lead to the nearest village, there our wisest will activate the great ring for your return.'Roads. The lines you observed through the UAV footage? Teal'c asked of Daniel.
It would appear so, yeah. So all we have to do is wait for these lines to appear on the ground, follow the right one and see if they' are willing to help us, said Daniel.
Right one? How are we going to know which line...road to follow? asked Jack, slightly confused.
Well, I'm pretty sure that it will be distinguished somehow or have its own set of specific writings, I'll just have to translate them when they appear, Daniel answered him.
So our best shot of getting out of here is to find this village? asked Jack and pointed to the tablet in Daniel's hand.
Daniel nodded. Jack sighed.
Ok, as soon as that sun peaks we grab our gear and head out, Jack finally said getting a good look at his team. Sam walked off a ways from the rest of the team towards the stargate and Teal'c and Daniel began gathering books and notes for the upcoming translation. Everything seemed clear, so he just leaned on the DHD and kept watch.

(oh, yeah, I don't know if the Indian style remark offends anyone, if it does, I'm sorry. I really don't mean it in any negative way, truly and honestly)
