Daniel rubbernecked past yet another door, he'd been searching for Teal'c for quite some time now. As he turned his head, Carter caught his eye. He turned, as he walked, asking if she'd seen the former servant of the Apophis and on doing so, tripped. Luckily, the aforementioned Jaffa happened to step around the door and caught the uncoordinated doctor.
"Ah, Teal'c!" Daniel exclaimed as he looked up. "I was just looking for you…" Teal'c's trademark eyebrow rose.
"It would appear that you have found me Daniel Jackson"
"Ah, yes, I, uh, was wondering if you could get in touch with the rebel Jaffa. I need to know if they would like to join the game."
"I have already contacted the High Council and they have just informed me of their decision. They will indeed be joining us and await the arrival of their Intars."
"Good, uhm, will you…?"
"I will remain with SG-1"
"Great, thanks, that's great! Uhm, I need to let Jack know"
Just at that moment, there was a bright flash and Daniel was gone.
"Unscheduled off world activation!" Walter turned to see O'Neill exiting his office. "It's Ba'al sir." O'Neill looked up to see the familiar hologram shudder into existence above the ramp.
"What do you propose?"
"We were thinking that some war games would be a nice 'friendly' suggestion. You see, we have these guns, which shoot coloured balls of paint.."
"Of this I am aware.. Paintball, I believe that this is the game to which you refer… Very unrealistic, I much prefer to see my enemy die. Although, it did make for rather an amusing past-time during my stay on your feeble little planet."
"Yes, well." O'Neill was a little annoyed at being cut off. "We are working on some intars as we speak, making the game a little more 'interesting'. Are you familiar with a planet called Vis-Uban?"
"I am."
"Right, well, we meet there in five days. The Nox will contact you with the details."
Later that day, the designated team from Atlantis arrived. Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla and McKay had bugged Weir from the second that the transmission had arrived in the Pegasus galaxy. The fact that there was an in-person briefing due at the SGC helped. As they stood on the ramp, looking up at the control room, a broad grin broke out on Sheppard's face.
"Right, I should, uh.." McKay never finished his sentences and left the remainder unfinished as he left the room. He would be assisting Carter with the Intars, while the others attended the de-briefing.
Back in the labs, Carter was working on the modification to the Intars. She had discovered that by changing the colour of the power crystal and modifying the base frequencies to rotate between the core frequencies of the humanoids taking part in the games; she could get each intar to freeze the target in a clear crystalline form with a subtle hint of the colour of the weapons power crystal. She was using an apple for testing and was just tweaking the frequency output when McKay stormed in.
"Ahh, you see!" he exclaimed looking at the apple. "I knew you couldn't do it without me!"
Carter, having not noticed McKay until he had spoken up, jumped. Sparks flew from the intar and McKay was frozen in a lime coloured crystal, a shocked expression on his face.
"Oh." Carter looked at McKay, a slight grin appearing as she held back a laugh. She radioed up to the Asgard cruiser overhead. "Uh, a little help please"
"I was about to query your last action Colonel Carter." Heimdall's voice echoed around the room. "I will make the necessary calculations". Carter hit the com, "Medical team to my lab."
