Chapter 4

Sam, Jack and Daniel sat on one side of a large wooden table. They had been called to a roomy tent, which was apparently the destined location for their negotiation talks. Jack wondered again why the villagers still lived in tents; as far as Jack could tell, they were quite capable of building structures and houses. He looked around, trying to figure out which materials the villagers had used to construct their homes… Some animal skins, probably, Jack thought. Suddenly, Daniel cleared his throat, as a hint for Jack to refocus his wandering eyes and pay attention to the men now entering the tent. Among them were Tanno, Deran and two unknown, slightly older men. The elderly looked at Sam oddly, but kept quiet and sat down across the three members of SG1. Daniel had explained to them that women were equal to men on earth, and for now the leaders of Eroga seemed to accept that.

"Friends," Tanno started, "it is my honour to introduce you to our great leaders, Heram and Nolus. They rule various villages on our world, which together form a unity. Deran and myself rule according to their will in this village, but it is they who are the true leaders." Daniel stood up and extended his hand. "It is an honour to meet you, Heram and Nolus. We would like to thank you for welcoming us to your community and for sharing your knowledge with us. We have found your planet to be an extremely agreeable and hospitable place." The oldest man nodded and signalled Daniel to sit down. He looked around the table and his eyes rested on Jack. "You are their leader?", he asked. "Yes I am", Jack answered, serious for once. "You have been welcomed properly?" the old man continued. "Yes we have," Jack replied, "Tanno and Deran have been wonderful hosts", he added. The man nodded again and looked at his colleague, who then spoke up. "You have interest in our potions, is that correct?" he asked. "Yes we do," Jack replied again, "we could really use some of them on our home planet. People aren't in touch with nature as much as you are, and we have many diseases that your medicines may cure." "We will not supply you with anything lethal or dangerous, do you understand this?" Jack nodded. "For this reason, you shall receive small flasks of selected potions, which you may test on your home planet. When you establish their effectiveness, you may revisit and we will sit together to work out the details", the man concluded. Jack rose and smiled. "Thank you, we want to assure you that we only wish to cure, not harm. We're very grateful and will offer you whatever you need in return." Deran, Tanno, Nollus and Heram all rose and shook his hand, then left the tent. Jack, still standing, looked around at the hopeful faces of his team members and whispered "wow". Daniel smiled. "You know Jack," he started, "if these things work, the whole Stargate programme is validated once and for all…". "Yeah…" Jack said, not quite knowing what to say, but feeling quite impressed with the events.

SG1 packed up and exited the stargate within the hour. After a long mission debriefing, the samples were turned over to Dr. Fraiser and her team, and the members of SG1 were granted some well-deserved downtime.

Jack O'Neill was woken up by a series of very persistent knocks on his door, followed by a much too familiar voice calling out his name, loudly: "Jack!", he heard, "Jack, wake up!", the annoying voice continued. Jack O'Neill only grunted in response. He was having a very nice, if not somewhat X-rated dream about a beautiful blond military officer, and he had no desire to leave this dream and return to reality. "JAAACK", the voice persisted. Jack sighed, opened his eyes and crawled out of bed. He dragged his tired body to the door, opened it slightly and snapped: "Yes?". On the other side of the door stood a very chipper and impatient Daniel Jackson, which only irritated Jack further. "What is it, Daniel?", he practically spat. Daniel blinked, but spoke up, nonplussed by his friend's rude behaviour: "I just wanted to tell you that Janet finished her experiments on the medicines we brought back", he smiled, "General Hammond called a debriefing, in 20 minutes", he finished. "Right", Jack sighed, rubbing his face. "Thanks Daniel, I'll be there", he told the younger man, before closing the door in his face.

Jack went over to the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water in a foul effort to wake up, all the while trying to wrap his mind around the possible impact of the results of Janet's research.
