Chapter 5

- P3X-747, City of Largos

SG-1 stepped through the event horizon, and walked off the stone stairs onto the fresh green grass that surrounded the Stargate-area.
'Alright, Danny,' Jack said, as he looked around.
'Your turn.'
Daniel Jackson was already bent over a large stone block, of which several were scattered over the field surrounding the Gate.
'I think these blocks once formed a building of some sort… Perhaps a chamber or temple for the Gate…' He said.
'So?' Jack asked.
'Wait, this is interesting… This didn't come up on the pictures from the MALP. These stones are covered in writing…'
Daniel took out a small notebook from his pocket, and flipped through some pages.
'It's seems to be related to the Ancient-language. But the texts are in terrible shape. Most of it isn't even translatable…'
'And that helps us… how?' O'Neill asked.
'Well, it could mean that these people had contact with the Ancients at some point in time. Perhaps even learned from them. Maybe that indicates why they are so technologically advanced for their culture.' Daniel said, standing up.
'Right.' Jack responded.
'O'Neill, ' Teal'c appeared on Jack's side.
'I have located a pathway. It seems frequently used.'
'Well then,' Jack said, putting on his sunglasses.
'Lead the way.'

The path went downhill, and ten minutes later they saw an oval-shaped lake. There were buildings placed in a half circle around the lake.
It didn't take them long to reach the small village.
'Hello? Anybody home?' Daniel was standing in front of the first house, the others were standing behind.
After a while, a tall woman appeared through the open doorway. She had long curling chestnut hair, grey-blue eyes, and was wearing a white top with a long light-brown skirt.
'Hi,' Daniel said to the surprised woman.
'Who are you?' She responded. She looked beyond Daniel, and her surprise grew when she saw the others.
'You did not come from Tulumna.'
'No, no, we did not.' Daniel said.
'My name is Daniel Jackson. We came from a planet called Earth. Not… Tulumna.'
'You… You came through the Portal?' The woman asked, even more amazed.
'The Portal? The Portal, the Stargate! Yes, we came through the Portal. Or, Stargate, as we call it.' Daniel said.
Jack had come forward and joined Daniel. The others also came closer.
'Hello.' He said.
'Jack O'Neill.' He held out his hand.
'I'm Lana.' The woman said, and she hesitantly placed her hand in Jack's.
'We go through the Stargate to explore the universe, to meet new people.' Daniel said.
'I'm guessing you do not use it as we do.' Jack added.
'No.' Lana said.
'The Portal has not been used for generations. We do not posses the knowledge, and no one ever came through it before.
Come,' She said, taking Daniel's hand and leading him inside.
'I will take you to the others. They are all in the garden.'
They followed Lana through her home, through a backdoor, into the garden…

'Yes, sir.' O'Neill said.
He, Teal'c and Logan were standing by the Stargate, as Jack reported to Hammond via the MALP.
'Carter and Daniel have stayed behind. They are already making friends.'
'What's the situation over there, Colonel? Are these people willing to help? Do they have technology that can help us defeat Anubis?' Hammond asked.
'Well sir, hard to say. They are currently working on some high-tech device. Carter is all over it, as you'd expect. Daniel is trying to figure out what the connection is between the Ancients and these people. And we know they have large quantities of naquadah in ground. They seem friendly. They have invited us to stay for a while, we could get to know each other better, maybe even start some trade-negotiations.' Jack said.
'Alright Colonel.' Hammond said.
'You may stay. Next contact in twenty-four hours.'
'Roger, sir.'
'Hammond out.'
Jack stood up straight and turned to Logan and Teal'c
'Alright, boys… Seems we have to go find ourselves some jammies for tonight.'
