KAWOOSH!

General Hammond stood at the foot of the ramp as the iris opened to admit Major Griff and his three team members.

"Any sign of them, Major?"

"Nothing, sir. It's really strange." Griff said, looking tired and very confused.

"How so?"

"Well sir, we searched several miles into the surrounding forest. There's no sign of battle. Hell, there's no sign of life, SG-1 or otherwise. The M.A.L.P. was just where they left it, the structure nearby looked exactly the same as when they went through, they didn't answer our radio calls and there was no chatter. Their tracks lead directly to the structure and then …just ended. The U.A.V. was still flying a pattern over the ruins when we got there and it didn't detect any sign of them either, and it's getting pretty dark. It's like they just…disappeared…sir."

George once again hid his growing concern well, despite how hard it wriggled in his gut to be let out. "Alright Major. We'll have a full debriefing in one hour."

"Yes sir."
