Chapter 2:

Daniel's Search & Discovery

Five hours earlier Dr. Daniel Jackson knocked on General Hammonds office door to hear, "come in," voiced. Daniel stepped into the room to see the General at his desk with some paper work on it.

"Uh sir, I have heard that SG1 has made no attempts to contact the SGC, they're late in reporting back" Daniel observed and General Hammond set both hands onto his desk, folding his fingers together and leaned forward as Daniel moved to stand in front of his desk.

"You are correct Dr. Jackson, I have just told SG6 to stand by, I am going to send through a MALP in the next thirty minutes if we do not hear back and then I may send them through" General Hammond informed him and Daniel put his hands into his pockets.

"If I may, sir, could I go through first on my own?" Daniel requested. Knowing fully that in his time of going off world that good and bad things can happen and prevent one from being able to contact the SGC when supposed to. At times it can be something to do with the actual world to make complications.

Daniel watched as the General thought about the request and most likely the same thoughts going through his mind as Daniel's. Finally he nodded, "alright Dr. Jackson, I'll give you a window of one hour while over there to find out what is happening."

Taking his hands out of his pockets, a small smile came onto Daniel's face, and then one on Hammond's. "Thank you General" and with that Daniel left his office.

Thirty minutes passed since the conversation between Daniel and Hammond, now the Stargate is dialing to the planet where SG1 had gone. Daniel standing at the bottom of the ramp with a MALP sitting in front of him, all of his gear is on, wearing no hat as he and those in the control room watch the gate open. Within seconds the rush of what looks to be water surging out to go back into the center of the gate came out and now only the watery looking surface remains.

"MALP going in" came a voice over the speakers for the little machine to drive up the ramp and disappear into the blue. After a few moments of waiting, Daniel figured that Walter was relaying the normal information to Hammond in the control room.

'Please be alright you guys… for all I know you could have gotten into a fight… or the locals have hidden the Stargate from you guys… again… perhaps it is life threatening to get to the Stargate' Daniel's train of thought was interrupted by Hammond's voice over the speaker.

"Dr. Jackson, you can go through" Hammond said and with that Daniel walked up the ramp and through the Stargate. Coming out he was relieved to see that there is a small village just ahead, people walking around and trees surrounding the place. 'Okay… where are you guys? No sign of a fight…' he quickly observed as he headed down the pathway and to the village.

Once there he noticed immediately he was getting some funny looks, looking around Daniel couldn't help but wonder where he should start. 'Hmmm… the locals are welcoming…' Daniel thought as Teal'c then stepped out of a building on the far right, wearing his black shirt and cargo pants.

Hurrying over Daniel couldn't help but feel relieved, "Teal'c! What has been going on?" Daniel asked and noticed Teal'c looked confused so Daniel gave him his well-known quizzical look. "What?"

"I am sorry, have we met before?" Teal'c asked and Daniel felt even more puzzled, Teal'c put his hands behind his back like he normally does. Daniel put his hands into his pockets.

"Teal'c… we work together…" pulling his hands out of his pockets to aim both sets of fingers at himself, "Doctor Daniel Jackson" he said for Teal'c to tilt his head to the side.

"I do not recognize your name" Teal'c said in return for Daniel to rub the back of his head with his fingers.

'Oh crap… why does this feel so familiar?' Daniel closed his eyes shut tight in thought. Opening his eyes he looked left and right to see that Teal'c had walked by and is headed for the fields of crops. Hurrying after him Daniel ran up to be in front of him.

"Hang on… we work at the SGC, on Earth" Daniel started, his hands out wide in trying to ask him to stop moving. Teal'c finally stopped, looking down at the young man before him. His eyebrows furrow as he starts to remember something, standing in a row at he end of the ramp with O'Neill, Carter, and Dr. Jackson all in uniform with the Stargate before them.

Noticing the look on his face Daniel held up his hands, almost in desperation, "what? What do you remember?" he asked and Teal'c finally looked at him.

"Standing with you in a room, with O'Neill and a blonde woman…" Teal'c answered for Daniel to fight back the urge to get excited.

"Yes… the blonde woman is Major Samantha Carter" Daniel coaxed and Teal'c suddenly had a flashback of fighting along side of each person. Looking up at Daniel, Teal'c's eyes showing confusion and recognition. "Something more?"

Teal'c gave a curt nod, "Indeed, a memory that we have fought together… if it was a memory" Teal'c added and Daniel shook his head.

"Okay… do you have a place where you can be on your own and not be disturbed?" Daniel asked to receive a nod. "Alright… I want you to go there and concentrate on remembering, where is this place so I can find you later?"

"The place where you met me at, bottom floor, second door on the right" Teal'c told him and Daniel smiled, giving a nod to watch Teal'c start to head back. He followed after him to see a large silver ball come up and onto the Chrome stand.

Many villagers came out to watch it including O'Neill, Owen, Cillian and Stephan. Daniel remembered seeing the same ball on Apophis's ship a while back. What came up on the ball wasn't Apophis though; he felt his heart rate pick up as Carter came up and onto the screen. Seeing her wrists bound, vest off; looking over at Jack he notices right away his expression is passive.

Looking back at the ball he watched as two Gua'uld came up and onto the screen, "what is the symbols to your planet?" the big guy asked and Daniel watched as she said nothing for his partner to hit her in her mouth. Making her lip split and bleed.

Upon seeing the strike, Teal'c's fists tightened, in the corner of Daniel's eye he watched as Teal'c went stiff.

"What is the symbols to your planet?" the smaller one demanded and again Carter said nothing, in return the smaller guy delivered a punch to her stomach. "This room is nice and small… if we don't get to you, the heat surely will" the smaller guy stated as the bigger one came up again.

'Hold on Sam… I'll come and get you once I can and once I find out where you are being held' Daniel thought as he hurried along through the village, none of the villagers even noticing him leaving except for Teal'c.

Running up to the Stargate, Daniel looked around to be sure no one was watching and dialed. Quickly going to the MALP he moved to being in front of the microphone and camera, once the Gate opened he punched in his code to the SGC.

"General Hammond?" Daniel asked while looking into the camera.

"I am here Dr. Jackson, what do you have to report?" came his voice through the MALP speaker.

Placing his right hand onto the MALP while crouching down, "I found Teal'c and O'Neill, when I met up with Teal'c he didn't remember me. But he seems to be remembering bits and pieces; this is looking similar to what happened on P3R-118, sir. I have yet to speak with Jack and Sam has been captured by Gua'uld but I have yet to find out where they are keeping her" Daniel informed Hammond.

"How do you know that Major Carter has been captured by the Gua'uld, have you seen Dr. Robert Parkins and how are the locals acting?" Hammond asked for Daniel to take a deep breath.

"In the middle of the village a large silver ball appeared, it showed Carter being held up by chains and then being questioned by two Gua'uld. She has given nothing to them… Teal'c reacted to her being hit and the villagers seem weary of me… standoffish. I have yet to find Dr. Parkins" Daniel answered feeling Hammond should know of what is happening to Samantha.

"See what else you can find out about the Gua'uld on that planet, do what you can to get Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c to remember as much as possible and then report back" Hammond instructed him for Daniel to nod and look off to the bushes to his right.

'This is not going to be easy…' crossed through Daniel's mind before he looked back at the camera. "You got it" Daniel said in response and then the gate shut off.

Turning around to look at the village, he looked up at the sky as he started down the path towards the village once again.

Once there Daniel had a quick glimpse around the main area. "If I were Jack, where would I be?" he wondered and decided to go around in behind of the buildings to the left to hear a chopping sound. Going in behind the restaurant he felt relief to see that Jack is chopping wood.

"Hey Jack!" he called out as he came over, O'Neill brought the axe down and split a good chunk of wood in half. Setting the axe down, "yes?"

Walking to stand in front of the stump where the chunks of wood go to be chopped Daniel licked his lips in thought of how to approach him. "Do you recognize me?" Daniel asked and O'Neill's right brow rose.

"No… should I?" he asked, giving Daniel a wondering look as he rests both hands onto the bottom of the handle.

"Yes, I am your friend Doctor Daniel Jackson, we both work together with Teal'c and Major Samantha Carter for the SGC back on Earth" Daniel tried to jog his memory and O'Neill thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Nope, sorry… must be mistaking me for someone else" O'Neill said like it was as simple as that while grabbing another chunk of wood to put it onto the stump.

Shaking his head, "no Jack… think hard, you had a son named-"

"-No" Jack interrupted him but not yelling, in a calm manor, looking at him, "I have never had a child" O'Neill stated it like a fact. No if, and or buts.
