After spending a few hours looking over every inch of the ruins in search of a dialling device and anything that can give them a clue as to where they are they came up empty, the ruins are so old and that if anything had been there in the past then it has crumbled away and turned to dust a long time ago, the odd looking Stargate is the only piece of technology they've found, they gave up searching some time ago and have since just been sitting on the ground staring quite literally in to space around them.
"I can't read any of this, its gibberish!" says Daniel.
For the best part of an hour he's been trying to make sense of the text engraved on the ring of the Stargate, its written in the same language as the text he found on P3X-474 but he still can't make heads or tails of it, he rubs his eyes feeling tired and then walks over and sits on the ground by his team mates.
"Does anyone have any food, I'm starving." says Vala.
"Yeah..me too." says Sam.
"Starving." says Mitchell.
"We finished off the last of the water a while ago." says Jack.
"What about food?" asks Vala.
"It was in the packs." replies Jack.
"Why didn't you bring it with you?" asks Vala.
"Why didn't I bring it with me?" says Jack, sounding a little annoyed, "The planet was breaking up...saving the rations wasn't exactly my top priority. I'll tell you what, the next time we're in a life or death situation I'll be sure to check that we have enough food and water before we start running for our lives." replies Jack.
Teal'c reaches in to his vest pocket, "I have a ration bar, O'Neill." he says, pulling the bar from his pocket and fiddling with the wrapper.
"Way to go Teal'c." says Jack.
Everyone except Daniel stands up and gathers around Teal'c, he clutches the ration bar and pulls it close to his chest.
"Well come on muscles, split it." says Vala, getting impatient.
"Should we not ration it?" says Teal'c.
"Its a ration - bar...its already a ration." says Mitchell.
May be its because of their current situation or because of lack of food and water, or just because they are who they are, but they suddenly all erupt and grab Teal'cs hands fighting for the bar.
Daniel hears the commotion and gets up and goes over to them, "Heeey!" he shouts, they all stop silent and look at him, "Stop it." he says.
"What..you don't want any of this?." says Jack.
Daniel lunges in to the huddle and forcibly grabs the now slightly mushed ration bar from their hands, he breaks off pieces and hands them out to everyone, "...for you, some for you and some for you. Okay you all have a piece, now eat it and shut up." he says, then walks away and sits back on the floor.
Jack looks at Sam's piece, "Hers is bigger than mine." he shouts.
Daniel sharply turns his head to look at him with a frustrated expression.
"Never mind, this is fine." says Jack, shutting up and eating his piece of the bar with the others.
Once they had all consumed the ration bar they returned to just sitting and wondering around aimlessly, as tiredness, hunger and thirst began to set in, they lay on their backs on the ground next to one another looking up at the planets and stars around them, they start to see trails of colourful dust particles moving in space from many directions and appear to be flowing towards each other and they all suddenly sit upright in wonder.
"I'm hallucinating." says Jack.
"No, no you're not...I see it too." says Sam.
The trails converge at the far edge of the ruins and emits a bright glow of light, they see something forming within it and when the light eventually fades they see something appear in front of them, everyone gets to their feet and looks, they don't know if whatever it is is friendly or hostile so they stay alert.
"Daniel." says Jack.
"Jack." says Daniel.
"What's that?" asks Jack.
"I don't know." says Daniel.
"Well go find out." says Jack, nudging Daniel's shoulder.
"Yeah, Daniel. Go find out." says Vala, slightly hiding behind Teal'c.
Daniel shakes his head a little, thinking to himself 'why is it always him who has to do this stuff' , he takes a few steps forward, "Err...Hello" he shouts, he looks back at the others, they stand there flicking their hands urging him to continue.
"We err...My name is Daniel, we don't mean you any harm. Hello?." says Daniel, after a few moments he turns around and steps back to the others, "I don't think it can hear me." he says.
"Then go over to it, get closer." says Sam.
"No thanks, I'm good right here." replies Daniel.
"Oh for cryin-out-loud." says Jack, he starts looking around at the ground and then bends down.
"What are you doing?" asks Daniel.
"I'm going to throw a rock at it." says Jack, standing back up after picking up a rock and swinging his arm back.
Daniel grabs and holds his arm before he can throw it, "Wait wait, you can't throw a rock a it." he shouts.
"Why not?" asks Jack.
"Because it is not necessary." says a strange voice.
Jack, Daniel and the others suddenly jump and step back when they hear the voice and turn to see a woman standing just a couple of feet away from them.
"Holy..." shouts Jack, when his heart nearly jumps out of his chest.
The woman looks like a human female, about 30 years of age, 6 foot tall, dark red hair, she's wearing a silky green hooded robe that stretches from her shoulders all the way to the floor.
"I did not mean to frighten you." she says.
"Yeah well ya did." says Jack, "Hey hey hey!" he shouts when she takes a step towards him, "Don't come any closer, I've...got a rock. Don't make me use it." he says.
"Hi, I'm Daniel. You are?" says Daniel, stepping in front of Jack.
"You may call me Nym." she replies.
Daniel smiles at her, being friendly, "Nym. Where did you come from?" he asks.
"Everywhere." she replies.
"Okay." says Daniel, looking a little confused, "Do you know why we're here?" he asks.
"Yes." says Nym.
"Do you want to elaborate on that a little bit." shouts Mitchell, standing behind with the others.
"Come with me." says Nym, she turns and slowly walks to the far edge of the ruins.
Daniel started to follow her but then stops when he realises the others aren't coming, "Come on guys." he says, the others don't look too sure about it, "The only way we're going to find out what's going on and get home is if we...follow her." he says.
"Yeah." says Sam, she walks off towards Daniel.
The others eventually follow and stand with Sam and Daniel next to Nym at the edge of the ruins, Nym holds out her arms to her sides and the planets and stars around them begin to move, the ruins appear to remain stationary and it is space itself that is moving around them, they stand and watch with amazement as stars and countless planets of all sizes fly passed them.
Eventually the speed of the planets moving passed them decreases and slows down, then they stop, in front of them they see a large Earth like planet with two moons and a large yellow sun, on the dark side of the planet they see lights on the land mass below, there's obviously intelligent life on the planet.
"Look, they have a base on the moon." says Sam, pointing towards one of the moons, they see a structure with lights on the surface and a small ship leaving it and heading towards the planet.
"Where are we Nym?" asks Daniel.
"We are a vast distance from your native galaxy, the planet before us is called Uihado, it has a population of over 12 billion." says Nym.
"Okay, obvious question...why are we here?." asks Jack.
"There is something you need to see." says Nym, "Look." she says, off in the distance what looks like a hyperspace exit suddenly appears.
Two small ships emerge and immediately head for the planet, they come to a stop in orbit above the planet and just remain there, the ships look very odd, they have no straight angles or curves and don't appear to be made of an alloy, they appear more rock like in form, if SG-1 hadn't seen them moving like ships then they could have easily mistaken them for small asteroids.
"What are those?" asks Jack.
"Watch." replies Nym.
A few minutes later the two ships separate with one heading for the moon, then several ships come from the planets surface and start firing on them, they're far bigger in size compared to the two little ones, the little ones return fire and destroy them with a single shot, they then turn their attention to the moons and the planet, after a couple of shots both the planet and the moons begin to glow and look as though they're about to explode.
"Get down!" shouts Mitchell.
"Down!" shouts Jack.
SG-1 turn and hit the ground as the planet and moons explode, the ruins appear to be shielded some how as the enormous blast wave, rock and debris explodes around them, once its over they get back to their feet and stand by Nym who remained standing the whole time, Uihado and its moons are gone, the sun is all that remains, off in the distance they see the two little ships disappear through a hyperspace window.
"Oh my God, are they...are they dead?" asks Sam.
Those little ships took out an entire planet, two moons and 12 billion people in a matter of seconds.
