It's an ordinary day at the SGC, very uneventful with nothing much going on, due to the injuries sustain by members of SG-1 during their last mission, they've been off duty for the last four weeks and just hanging around the base.
Vala has been with Daniel helping him to catalogue various artefacts and literature, Carter has been up and about in her lab using the time to catch up on some of her old projects, Mitchell and Teal'c have been down in the gym working out and helping to train some new recruits, Alisana's unique physiology allows her to heal rather quickly, in just three weeks she was fully healed and is now as fit and healthy as ever, she has been spending a lot of time in her quarters studying for tests given to her by O'Neill and learning about Earth cultures.
Carter is in her lab sitting at a table in the middle of the room typing on her laptop, she's trying to find a way to increase the efficiency of the Naquadah generators, Dr Jeremy Hanson, a fellow scientist assigned to the Naquadah generator project and working along side Carter comes over with two cups of fresh coffee.
"Here you go." says Jeremy as he places a cup of coffee on the table next to Carter.
Carter is engrossed in her work and didn't hear Jeremy, "Sam?" says Jeremy.
"Huh" says Carter, "Oh..thanks." she says as she turns and sees the cup.
Carter picks up the cup and takes a few sips, then places the cup back down and gets back to work, she's distracted by strange sounds entering the room but shrugs it off.
A few minutes later and the sounds are really starting to bug her, she tries to ignore them but can't, "What..What is that?" she says as she looks at Jeremy.
Jeremy turns and listens for a moment, he shakes his head, "No idea." he says.
"Well it's annoying." says Carter, she puts her hands on the table and pushes back her chair and stands up, she leaves the room and enters the hall, looking side to side to try and figure out where the sounds are coming from she finds a direction and heads towards it.
As she walks down the hall the sounds get louder, Walter is walking down the hall in the opposite direction, "Morning." he says to Carter as he passes her by, "Morning." replies Carter, she stops and looks back, "Do you know where those sounds are coming from?" she asks.
Walter turns and points down the hall, he's pointing towards Alisana's quarters, "Thanks." says Carter.
Carter reaches Alisana's quarters, she knocks on the door, opens it and steps inside, as soon as she opened the door the sound became deafening, it's very loud music coming from a stereo in the corner of the room.
Carter sees Alisana near the back of the room with her back turned singing and dancing..badly, "Alisana" she shouts trying to get her attention, "Ali..." she begins to say and then walks towards the stereo, she turns the music off.
Alisana continues dancing and singing for a few more seconds before she realises the music has stopped, she turns and sees Carter standing firmly by the stereo with her arms folded and looking at her with a little anger in her eyes.
"Oh hi Sam." says Alisana.
"Yeah hi. What are you doing?" asks Carter.
"Errm..dancing." says Alisana with a cheeky little grin, "Was the music too loud?" she asks.
Carter nods gently, "Just a bit." she says.
"Sorry." says Alisana biting her lip.
"Aren't you suppose to be studying?" asks Carter.
"Oh I've finished." says Alisana as she walks to the bed and picks up a bunch of papers.
Carter looks a little shocked, "Already?" she says, "Let me see." she adds, Alisana passes her the bunch of papers.
After looking at the papers, Carter can see she has finished and done pretty good work too, "That's not bad." she says.
"Thanks." says Alisana.
"OK well can't you find something a little more productive to do than this?" asks Carter while pointing at the stereo.
Alisana sits on the bed, "I don't know what to do, I've done all the tests and read all the books." she says.
Carter sympathises with her but can't really help her right now, "Well you'll have to find something, I need to get back to my work." says Carter, "Keep the music volume down, OK?" she adds.
"OK. Sorry." replies Alisana as she watches Carter leave the room.
Alisana drops backwards to lay on the bed with her feet hanging over the side, she lets out a breath feeling really bored, a few minutes later she grabs the end of the bed and pulls herself up, she then heads out of her quarters.
Daniel is in his research room with Vala going through books and items brought back from the Yaculum, the facility used by the alliance of races to store all their knowledge and technology.
Vala has been going through a large box of books, while Daniel is at the table in the middle of the room, the table top is covered with various objects while he enters pictures and descriptions of them all in to his database, Vala is taking books out of the box and placing them on a table near the door.
Vala coughs as she places a large book on the table and a plume of dust hits her in the face, "*Cough*...do you really need all these?" she says, wafting away the dust with her hands.
"Yes." says Daniel.
"They're just a load of old dusty books. Why can't you ever find something valuable." says Vala.
"Vala, these are valuable." says Daniel, "Not everything of value has be made of ..gold and jewels." he adds.
"Of course it does, people buy gold and jewels, who wants to buy a pile of old books...apart from you." replies Vala.
"You can't put a value on the knowledge these books can provide, they're ..." says Daniel who then stops mid sentence as he looks at Vala, she has her back turned facing the box of books and wiggling her head about, he knows she's making faces, "Are you making fun of me?" he asks.
Vala's head stops moving and she turns to look at him, "No." she says, trying not to look guilty.
"Just...organise the books." says Daniel, and he gets back to his work, he stops again when he hears a loud thud.
"I hate books." shouts Vala, dropping a large book back in the box, "Can't we do something else." she asks.
"No" says Daniel, firmly, he shakes his head in annoyance and gets back to work again.
Vala gets a mischievous look in her eye, she walks around the table to Daniel, she rubs her finger in a circle on his shoulder, "Daniel.." she says in a seductive voice.
Once again Daniel stops working, "What?!" he says, then Vala moves herself around him and sits on his lap with her arms around him, "Lets do something fun." she says.
Daniel clearly isn't interested, "Like what?" he asks, Vala now gently rubs his chest with her hand, "You know." she says, Daniel closes his eyes, lowers his head and let's out a frustrated breath, then he looks up at Vala who is smiling cheekily and sticking out her tongue between her teeth.
A few minutes later, Alisana enters the room, she sees Vala on Daniels lap holding each other very close, she immediately turns around, "Ooooh." she says blushing, "Errm..am I interrupting something" she asks.
"Yes" says Vala, then she turns to see who it is, "OH..Alisana..no, no." says Vala as she quickly stands up and fastens the top button of her shirt.
"What...what err...what are you doing here?" asks an embarrassed Daniel.
Alisana is still facing the door with her back turned on them, "I just came to see if you needed any help." she says.
"Sure, yeah...we could use some help." says Daniel.
Vala goes over and stands in front of Alisana, "Good to see you...how are you?" she says as she leans in and hugs Alisana, while she does that she looks at Daniel with a cringing expression, then she releases her hug and smiles at Alisana and spins her around and marches her towards the table, "Come on in." says Vala.
They all stand around the table looking at and smiling at each other, looking a little awkward.
"So, how can I help?" asks Alisana.
"Well..." says Daniel while he thinks, "Oh...why don't you help Vala with those books." he says with a big smile while pointing at the box of books.
"Yes, help me with the books." says Vala, "I love books. Don't you?" she adds.
Alisana nods, "Sure" she says, then she goes over to the box.
Vala looks at Daniel with hatred and then follows Alisana to the box of books.
Vala and Alisana spend some time organising the books in to different sizes, types and languages, but the table near the door is getting full and soon there's no more room for any more books to fit, Vala stacks the last of the books from the box in to Alisana's extended arms, stacked so high she can barely see over them, "There." says Vala as she places the final book on the stack.
Alisana turns towards the table of books but sees there's no more room, "Daniel, we've ran out of room here, where do you want us to put these?" asks Alisana, struggling with the weight of the books stacked in her arms.
Daniel looks around but can't really see a place to put them, "Just put them on the corner here." he says whiles pointing at the far end of the table he's standing at.
"OK." says Alisana and she walks towards the table, "You could help." she adds while looking at Vala.
"Nah, you're doing fine." says Vala.
As Alisana reaches the table and bends down a little to rest the stack of books on the corner, she slides them on to the table top.
Daniel stands up when he realises an object has been left in the way, "Watch the..." he says while leaning across the table to try and move it out of the way, but he's too late, the stack of books hits the object causing it to fall off the table.
"Oops." says Alisana.
The vase shaped object rolls across the floor towards the wall as Daniel, Vala and Alisana watch helplessly, it hits the wall and cracks.
Alisana looks at Daniel, "Daniel, I'm so sorry." she says apologetically.
"No it's not your fault, I should have moved it." replies Daniel.
"Oh it'll be fine, a bit of glue, some tape..." says Vala while walking towards the object, but she's suddenly knocked back when smoke begins funnelling out from the crack in the object, she backs away from it.
Daniel moves around the table and stands with Alisana and Vala by the door as they watch in shock as the smoke slowly erupts out, as they continue to watch they start to see a silhouette appearing from within the smoke, as it begins to clear, they see a small humanoid thing seemingly floating in mid air.
It floats in mid air with its arms and legs crossed, it's about 3 feet tall it's red in colour and has a small orange horn sticking out of the front of it's head, pointy black teeth, finger and toe nails, wearing a ripped and torn rag shirt, it opens it's eyes which are yellow and appear like those of a cat, it looks around the room.
"Hello." says Daniel, slowly and cautiously.
The thing hears him speak and turns its head very quickly to glare at Daniel, Vala and Alisana stood by the door.
They all jump a little, "Err...Daniel?" says Vala as she hooks her arm around Daniel's.
The thing unfolds it's arms and legs, still floating in mid air, it takes a deep breath, "I...am Molo." it says in a loud deep voice, it can be heard echoing all over the SGC and everyone on base heard it.
Daniel looks at Molo in awe, not expecting such a deep voice to come from something it's size, he then reaches over to the side of the door and pushes the alarm button.
