The next day General Ryan showed up and talked to them all and congratulated them all on a job well done. Hammond gave SG1 a week off. Jack got Thor to beam him and Sam up to his cabin. Jacob left the next day, he headed back to the tok'ra, to let them know what was happening.
Jack and Sam stayed there for all that time, talking, going for walks, fishing, and swimming, even making love. When it was time, a car showed up, it was Daniel, he went to collect them since they didn't have a car with them. When they return back to work. Daniel wanted to return back to the planet to do some more translating. So since they want to have a treaty with the people there, it was granted. So they pack few things for a week there. When they arrived back there, they were greeting by Julius and others there.
"Welcome back my friends, it is good to see you all, come, many things have change since you were last here" He show them a big single story house.
"This is for all of you when you and your people come and visit"
They all walk in to a large room with table and chairs about with bowl of fruit that was just put on the table; they notice ten doors on each side of the room.
"These are your room where you can stay in, go and chose. Jack, Sam come with me, if you will"
They followed Julies out side and walk about twenty meters, when they came to a clearing through the trees they both stop. It was a log cabin, when they walk inside of it, there was table and chairs, and they could smell the fresh wood. They look around and notice a stone fireplace.
Sam walk to one of the doors and open it, it was the bedroom. It had got a big bed in it and a desk with a chair. Jack went to another door, where he saw the pottery hand basin and jug as well toilet like Julius has got at his home. They could see the windows, but closer look, there was none.
"This is for you two when you come to visit, I know it's not complete, but we will in time"
"Thank you, we can help out, you know, windows, drapes, bedding for us" Jack said.
"We can also sort out a shower unit for the bathroom, I know that there is a lot to do, so when can make a start since we are going to be here for a week" Sam said.
"Good, come we are having our lunch soon, please come and join us"
"In few minutes, we will meet you at you home Julius" jack said.
"Of cause, I'll go and see how your friends are doing" Then he left them alone.
"Well Jack, what do you think of this place?"
"It's great, we better make a list of thing we will need from earth" they went into the bedroom and put their packs down.
"Shell we"
They both left the cabin and headed to Julius home, when they arrived there Teal'c and Daniel were already in the dinning room talking to some of the other folks there. They both sat down and started eating, drinking and talking.
After lunch, Sam went to call Hammond and give him the list of things that she ask for, when finish, she headed back to the cabin where she got change into her bikini, but she wore shorts and tank top.
Once change she walk over to the river where Jack was, he was with teaching the young kids how to swim, when she showed up, Jack look up and smiled, which she did in return.
She put the towel down on the rock where his is and the big bag on the grass, then she put her goggles on before diving into the river, they other watch her dive in. When she surface about twenty seconds later, she got a hand fall of triennium, then she walk out of the river and put the pieces in the bag before doing it again.
Jack got the kids to help Sam out, which they did to. With in no time at all three bags were full. Jack asked Sam to help him teach the kids how to swim properly, which she agreed to it.
They were all having fun, few hours later the kids left to go to their home since the sun was starting to set. Jack and Sam collected the three bags and their towels before heading back to the to their cabin.
When they got there. There was a plate of chop up meat and another of bread and fruit, as well jug of juice and cups. There was even wood stack up next to the fireplace, as well oil lamps they're also for light for when it got dark. They both sat down and ate their dinner.
"What the plan for tomorrow Jack?"
"Well I was planing on talking about the treaty, you know start getting the ball rolling, what about you?"
"Well I'm going to start getting the triennium pieces sorted out and get started on making stuff like a shower for us, goblets, jugs and knifes for starts"
"Ok, you will need a lot of the triennium for that?"
"I know but at lest it is a start"
"True"
They talk about other things as well, before it was getting dark, so Sam light the oil lamps, they didn't need the fire going since it was a warm night, they talk about what they going to do when the six months trial is over. What plans they going to take to make sure that they are on the same team?
It was getting late, so they went to bed, all they could do is sleep in their sleeping bags for the time being. The next morning Daniel and Teal'c showed up after breakfast when they saw the cabin. Jack and Sam were walking out the door, when they showed up.
"Morning guys, how the translating coming along Daniel?" Sam asked
" Morning. It's going good, we were told what the people here have done for you two, a cabin?"
"Yes, well the last time I was here I was telling them about my cabin back home, they ask what it was made out of, things like that, I didn't relies that they build one for us"
"You want to come and have a look"
"Sure" then a boy ran towards them
"Jack, Jack, the stargate"
"Woo there, what about it?" when the boy stoped in front of jack breathing hard
"It started spinning"
"Guys grab your weapons"
Sam and Jack ran inside to get there P90 and zats, Daniel and Teal'c did the same, then they ran toward the star gate but stayed off the trail just in case. When they got close to the stargate, they had a closer look; they all relax when they saw who it was, so they all walk out from where they are.
"Sir, this is a surprise, strange but a surprise"
"Colonel, major, we decided to come and see it for our selves, Major we brought what you ask for, but you know that the president want's to know why you wants all of this gear?"
"Of cause sir, there is a good reason, she well" they all carry things back to the village as well the three Fred full of things as well. When they all arrived, Julius walked over to them.
"Welcome you all from the planet earth, my name is Julius, leader of this village"
"Julius, may I introduce to you General Hammond and General Ryan, they are our leaders from where I am from"
"Ah yes, I have heard many stories about you General Hammond, you people here serve you well"
"Thank you, we are here to help with the negotiation and to check out the fruit we have heard so much about" Julies laugh
"Of cause, come, I'll show you to your rooms"
"Thank you" they walk to the house.
They left every thing out side before walking into the place. Once settle in, Jack and Sam show them their cabin.
"Well sir, you can see why I ask for windows for here" Sam said
"Yes I can see what you mean"
They showed them around the village, even where the triennium pieces are. They even show them the temple where the marriage stone is. They had a closer look at it. Then Daniel told them about the writings on the wall, how they talk about the soul mates, every thing. Then they had some lunch while talking to the others there.
After lunch, Sam got started working on the triennium pieces with SG5. They brought three gas tanks and other equipment that was needed to soften and joint the triennium pieces together. Jack got the kids to gather more pieces for Sam.
While SG3 and 7-started working on the carpenter side, showing the others there what they could do to make things more comfortable and also gave them some tips as well. Other people from other villages showed up when their was news of the soul mates have return to visit, so they showed up and ended up leaning for the others who came from earth.
By the end of the day, Sam and SG5 have made the floor piece of the shower as well, a drainpipe for the out let from the shower. They even made four, forty centimetre round serving dishes five chopping knifes and ten pairs of wedding rings for couples who gotten married. They all got together to talk about what they have done for the day. Sam showed them the rings that were made.
"Major, SG5 you done a good job here, so far, both General Ryan and I have talk and decided to leave SG3, 5 and 7 here. Col O'Neill will be in charge, so you all report to him, when we head back tomorrow morning, you three team can come back and collect what you need for the remaining of the week. Just remember one thing, make sure you all have time for some fun"
"Yes sir" they all said, with a grin on their faces.
The next morning they all left to head back to earth to get some more things. SG1 carried on working. Sam and Teal'c were making serving plates as well started making goblets. Jack and some of the kids were clearing a proper path between the cabin and the guesthouse.
While the others were diving for triennium pieces, Daniel carried on translating at the old wall. The three-team that return with sheep and goats with them, they were able to make a temporally fence to keep them in one place till things are properly set up for them. Once they got their gear sorted out, they went to find jack to see what the orders are. When he did and found out what they brought back with them.
He got SG3 to start making a fence with a gate for the goats and sheep. Three of the boys took them to where they could use bamboo as part of the fence. So they left to start working on that. Jack sent SG5 to help Sam with her project and he got SG7 to start putting the windows in the cabin and to start building a front porch as well.
They work till lunchtime. The Windows were all put in around the cabin. When Jack called out for a lunch time brake. They all talk to some of the people from the village their while having there lunch, which was brought to them.
Sam showed Julius what she has done so far with the triennium pieces. He was please with what they have all done so far. After lunch, Daniel was working on the translation when he came to a part on the wall where it talked about yellow triennium.
That got him interested Do he tried to work out the map An hour later he work it out, so he ran to find Jack, when he did find him
"Jack"
"What?"
"I did some more translating, there is a map it is talking about yellow triennium, and where it is keep"
"Where is it?"
"Come with me, I think Sam should be there as well"
"Well let's get going" they went to get Sam then they followed Daniel to the river when he stops.
"What the river?"
"No the waterfall Jack, it is behind it"
"Well what are we waiting for, lets go" they walk over where the water fall is and stop.
"I think we better get change," Sam said.
They headed back and told the others what Daniel said, so they waited till they were change, then headed to the river. The three of them swan up to the waterfall and got out on one side. Every one was watching them disappeared behind it.
There was a passageway so they got their torches out and turn them on before moving down the hallway. Jack was first with Sam second and Daniel last. They all walk for about fifteen meters when there was a dead end.
"Daniel it's a dead end"
"What, it can't be"
Daniel went up the front to look around. Sam was shining the torch around when she spotted some thing shining from the torchlight, so she moved over to one of the walls and moves some of the dirt out of the way.
"Jack I've got some thing"
"What is it Sam?" Once Sam moved the dirt out of the way, there was a yellow shinny box
"Well this must lead to a door or some thing"
"Well there is only one way to find out, push it Sam"
So she push the square button, then there was movement at the end of the cave, they move their torches to where they could see the dirt moved away from the wall, then a big stone door appeared. So they decided to try and push it open.
"Hang on I'll go and get Teal'c to help us" Jack said. He went back to where the waterfall is.
"Teal'c we need your help to open a door up"
Teal'c strip down to his tee shirt and boxer, then he dived into the water and swam over to where Jack is. When he got out he followed Jack to where the others were. When they arrived, they were able to push the door open far enough to get though to the other room. They use their torches and look around; they were shock to see tons of yellow gold triennium pieces every where.
"Holly Hannah, Jack do you know what I can make with all of this?"
"Lots of wedding rings?"
"Yes, that and goblets and serving dishes at the wedding breakfast that they have"
"Cool, well now we have to some how find a way of getting this stuff out"
"A raff with a rope on each end should so the trick Jack we could put so much in the raff pulling it back and fourth"
"Ok, that's the plan, she we, we better take some of this back with us"
They grab some pieces before leaving the room. When they reach the waterfall they all swam back to the other side and got out. Julius was waiting for them
"Have you found some thing?" Sam showed him one of the pieces, he was shock
"Did you find it behind the water fall?"
"Yes we did, SG3 stay here and make sure no one goes behind that waterfall, till we get back"
"Why is that?"
"Cause it's not safe, Sam and I are going to call Hammond and ask him to send some things through that we needed, then we can safely get it all out and start working on makes things for you guys"
He just nodded. Jack and Sam headed to the stargate and called Hammond, which told him what they have found and even send some of the pieces through the gate. Hammond told them that they well send the thing that they ask for soon as it arrived, once the gate shut done, they headed back to the village where Teal'c stood guard near the waterfall while every one else went back to doing what they were doing before.
Jack got couple of empty bags and went over to the water fall, he fill them up half away then blow air into them before sealing them up. He was able to swim back across the river with them and took them to Sam.
Some of them men from the village help Sam and SG5 make goblets, serving dishes as well finishing off making the shower for the cabin. Sam used the yellow triennium to start making different size wedding rings as well goblets for the wedding feast.
By the end of the day all the windows were in as well the drapes so they could have some privacy, the bottom of the shower unit and two of the three walls were finish. Five fifty centimetre round serving dishes were finish, ten knifes were done as well fourteen goblets and three four litter of jugs were done.
With the yellow triennium four goblets and fourteen wedding rings were done. When Julius and his wife showed up, they showed him when was done so far. They couldn't believe what was done is a short time.
"Julius, I would like for you and you wife to have these two goblets for you to use at all wedding feast in the future" Sam said
"How do we know that they are ours?" she asked
Sam turned it upside down and showed them the SG1 symbol with earth point of organ on the bottom of it.
"Thank you, we will use them when we have out next wedding feast"
"Here I would like for you to try these on to see which ones will fit you" Sam showed then the rings
"What do we do?"
"Here let me show you" Sam pick up a ring and slip it onto her ring finger.
"Like this, if you can find the one the fits you comfortably, I'll put a small design on top of it, so it would only ment to be for you only and it won't get mix up with any one else's"
So they both tried different rings till they found the ones that do fit their finger. Then they gave it to Sam, then she walked over to where their gears are and use an engraving pen, to make the design, few minutes later she return and gave them their rings. They look at then on top of the ring was star and on the inside was earth point of organ and a dove.
"Thank you, what do these mean?"
"It means that some one from another planet" She pointed to the star
"Who came here in peace" She pointed to the dove
"And where they came from" She pointed earth point of organ.
"Thank you, we will treasures these for years to come"
