Hello! You reviewers are just awesome! =) You make me happy. Anyway, here is the next chapter.

Kaylee's assignment was to get to know some of the people on the planet along with Dr. Carrie Nashwell while the rest of their team worked on the finalizing of the peace treaty. They had just stepped up to a new house and knocked on the door. A pretty, young face of a woman answered."Hello?"

"Hello" Carrie began. "We are from the planet Earth and-"

"Carissa, who is at the door?" An older woman bustled up to the the door and pulled back. "I'll take care of this Carissa, go ahead and finish up what you were doing." The woman nodded and left the front door leaving the older woman standing there.

"Are you here for the Peace Agreement?"

Kaylee nodded as Carrie began to explain, "We believed it might do us good to go about meeting some of the people here."

"Well, come in then. My name is Merelen. The woman that was in here is Carissa." She shut the door behind them.

"Lieutenant Jackson. But please, call me Kaylee. Lieutenant Jackson is not only a mouthful, but it doesn't sound very pretty, if you ask me. But Merelen is such a pretty name!" Kaylee grinned and Merelen gave a slight smile, perhaps one of pity.

"Nice to meet you, Merelen. I am Dr. Nashwell, but I suppose that doesnt sound very..." Carrie shot Kaylee a look. "Pretty. Please, call me Carrie."

"It is very nice of you to come and meet us. Although I cannot say that this has not happened before." She gestured to two chairs, silently asking them to sit. Kaylee exchanged a glance with Carrie and took her seat. "We have had quite a few Peace Arrangements, and this is no different, I suppose."

"Has there always been peace on this planet?" Kaylee questioned, leaning forward in her seat looking intently at Merelen.

Merelen shook her head, "Oh no there has been several wars here. Before the discovery of the buried Stargate, as you would call it, there was slavery on this planet between our people. The people who were rich took the poverty stricken people of our world and began using them as slaves." Melelen paused and looked between Carrie and Kaylee. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sure you don't want to hear a complete history of our planet."

"Oh, we would love to hear more!" Kaylee said. "Please, continue." Carrie nodded in agreement.

"Oh! Well the women on this planet usually bore easily whenever they receive a history lesson! Nonetheless, I shall continue. Well, our world was segregated greatly, using other people as laborers. Work they could do themselves! I was only a child then. My parents thought it was all wrong. They weren't the only ones. Along with all of the slaves, they formed an uprising against the leaders who had power. it was an awful time of war. Eventually it was agreed that we can not use our people as slaves and eventually things started getting better. There was much to be done and many lives were lost in the war. About three years after that the Stargate was found along with its control panel. Before anyone on our planet could figure out what it would do, it was activated and a group of people came through. They were running. They hid among us and we let them. They explained what it was and we let them hide. About a week letter another group of people came through, looking for the previous group. They told us that they were criminals and their punishment was that they were to be used as slaves."

"The irony." Kaylee said, crossing her legs and kicking her foot back and forth. "So did you turn them in?"

"Well, that's were things got a little... crazy. Some of the people on our planet still though having slaves would be very helpful and demanded they let us keep the people and fulfill their punishment. Eventually an agreement was formed. In exchange for free reign on our planet whenever they wanted and for a small fee, we were delivered slaves on the first day of every month."

"And that brings us all the way to present day?" Kaylee interrupted again.

"No. For a while no one questioned these mysterious people. But after the slaves continued coming when we thought there could not possibly be that many criminals if they knew their fate. But years later no one has questioned them. We don't want a war. But I know that slavery is wrong and for many years now there has been a group that wants to free all of the slaves. If there was an uninhabited planet somewhere we could send them all there to keep them safe. My husband and I try to save as many of the slaves as we can. They all have their own stories. They were either taken from their homes or they went to the planet to find refuge and this was what they found."

"Have they not tried to form an uprising or something? It looks like there are so many of them. Maybe they are not very strong, but wouldn't they at least try?" Carrie thought aloud.

"Indeed, Carrie, a little more than ten years ago they tried. But someone found out about their plan and took the control crystals from the control panel of our own uh, Stargate and right when they were about to make their exit they couldn't leave. They were captured and punished severely. Now no one tries it and any young or new slaves that get any ideas are soon dissuaded by others. They hate their punishment and only after that attempt was there a need for what we call 'slave drivers'. Anyway, I am sure you are very bored by now and I shall keep you no longer." Merelen finished.

"But we'd like to help you. Maybe not know, but soon. As soon as we can. Our planet has had a little different experience with slaves. but it's all the same: Very awful. Perhaps we could help you somehow." Carrie declared quickly.

"Having another planets help might be very appreciated by many, but the leaders will never allow that to happen. But after the Peace Agreement is completed, they may not expect it."

Kaylee interjected, "But Merelen, we would still be at peace with more than half of the people of this planet. The slaves must take up a great deal of the population and other than that, sometimes there is a time to break a Peace Treaty!" At that moment Kaylee was brought from her inner plans by the "Jackson!" that came from her radio.

"Captain?" Kaylee said into her radio.

"We're wrapping it up. It's time to go." Sam's voice came in over the radio.

"Captain, I think we need to be talking to these people more. Many of them don't want slavery anymore."

"Many, meaning the slaves, Jackson?" He questioned. "You and Carrie need to meet us at the gate in five. We'll discuss this later, Lieutenant."

Resigned she answered with a "Yes Sir." "Merelen, I'm afraid it is time for us to go. Thank you so much for your time. I believe it is good to hope for our return." Kaylee told the kind woman as she stood, Carrie following her lead.

"I believe I will hope for a return. There are many suffering here. Thank you for stopping by here. I hope you will come to visit again." Merelen opened the door for them and bid them farewell, hopeful of their return to help her people.

I hope you liked it, it may have bored you but I think its needed even if it's not exciting.=) Reviews please?
