Funky Jell-O

Cue gate travel:

Colonel O'Neill exited the gate horizon in his usual manner: backwards, running with his gun pointed at the liquid and "Code Red" blaring in his ears. The rest of his team exited in the same manner before the iris shut and the wormhole disengaged. They surrendered their weapons to SFs standing by and heard General Hammond tell them when their briefing was.

"Debriefing will occur at 0800 hours. Shower and have some food." His voice echoed in the large space of the Gateroom.

Teal'c and Daniel nodded, and Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter saluted. As one, they exited the room through the blast doors. They strode out into the corridor and headed off to the locker room. It was currently the men's locker room so Carter went to the commissary and grabbed some food and the last of the blue Jell-O.

Who's Pissed Now?

When everyone was clean and fed, they went up to the briefing room, right on time. Major Carter was still pissed that she had been last to shower and the colonel had made her carry that stupid weapon. The colonel was pissed because he thought Carter had no reason to be pissed, and because she'd taken the last of the blue Jell-O. Daniel was pissed because Jack had pissed off the villagers like usual and ruined his chance to finish studying ruins. And if Teal'c was pissed, well, he was keeping it to himself. Nobody ever said he was stupid. And lived to talk about it.

To put it bluntly, SG-1 was not happy campers, in any way, shape, or form. They stomped into the briefing room as General Hammond got off the phone (the regular one, not the red one) and came out of his office.

Stiffness

Hammond sat down at his seat at the head of the table. He reached for the folder in front of him and looked at SG-1.

"Well, I assume the mission went well. Although, I thought you were studying some ruins."

Daniel glowered at Jack, who ignored him. "The villagers didn't like the way the Colonel spoke to them." He emphasized Jack's rank bluntly.

General Hammond seemed taken aback at Daniel's stiff behavior. "Doctor?"

Daniel glanced at Jack before continuing. "It seems that the ruins were actually a weapons cache…"

Cue Gate Travel…

Several long hours ago…

Cue gate travel:

SG-1 exited the Stargate with their usual décor. The Colonel started scanning the horizon for possible dangers and the MALP that had run off while Daniel stared at the DHD and marked something in his ever-present notebook. Teal'c was stoic as ever and Carter seemed…

"Sir." Her short sentence drew his attention and he followed her pointing finger with his eyes. Some bushes 50 meters away were rustling, absent of natural wind.

The Colonel swung his weapon in that direction and called out in a clear voice. "Come out. We know you're there."

Daniel gently pushed Jack's weapon down, and added, "We won't hurt you." Sotto voice, he told Jack, "Would it kill you not shoot anything for five minutes at a time?"

The Colonel looked vaguely hurt, but the bushes moved again and their attention was drawn to the young villager slowly standing up. He was barely out of his teens and seemed to fit the regular appearance of the locals they usually encountered. His tan clothes, sandals, and a hesitant manner fit the norm. However, unlike the usual darker haired indigenous population, his mane was a dirty blond similar to Carter's mop.
