Fiona placed a final sample in it's vial, and passed it on to Fiala. She noticed that woman seemed farway, and Fee heard her whispering. 

The land was far from my eyes when I was young and who knows what would of ....I envy you so much Fiona Just as quickly, Fiala's visage changed back to her usual Major one, and Fiona just nodded. She wouldn't say anything, but she felt badly for Fiala-obviously, the woman's life hadn't been carefree as Fee's-while Fiona's life had been difficult, she knew it was far better than some. She smiled lightly. 

Fiala spoke again, after completing their current task. 

Ok Fiona if you want to continue on to the next location with Kelly, me and Marah can finish here . We be right behind you ....Ok Kelly, you and shadow are to stick to Fiona like glue, she is not to saw leave your sights and your duties is to guards her not serve her ,...iona your on no condition to leave his sight and if you see and animals that may be located around here, your to call for him . Fee sighed, but nodded. She knew that it was useless to argue-she was unarmed, and had no skills for it. She knew that there were certain situations that even her brilliance wouldn't get her out of, and this was one. She nodded, though, and replied. 

Got it, Porcieuk. She made a small face at Shadow. She liked Kelly just fine, but did his dog have to be so BIG?! She'd once read about the SAR work that poodles had done in the UK. Why couldn't the US do so? 

She looked to Liam. 

Well, let's get this holy show on the road...

" Ok Kelly, you and shadow are to stick to Fiona like glue, she is not to saw leave your sights and your duties is to guards her not serve her."


Liam looked at Fiala as she said that to him, nodding a bit in reply.  "Copy that" he replied before getting Shadow up and moving after getting their orders.  As before, Liam spoke to Shadow in German to get him moving, which Shadow replied to quickly.  Liam had Shadow off his leash, but under voice control so he could have both hands on his P90 at this time.  Liam looked over to Fiona, then gave another command to Shadow.  The dog looked at Liam, then at Fiona before they moved out.  He understood that he and Liam would be guarding Fiona closely.

Marah had stayed silent for most of the test watching the team interact and helping when needed. Fiala took control of the team and got them to start their work on the planet and it's features. Marah took over from Fee when she left for the next test area and as she finished the testing and stored the results she turned to Fiala. "Fiala is it just me or is Fee just plain scared of me. I didn't think I came across that way ?" she asked her XO as they both began to pack up the machine they used for the testing.

She listened to the other lieutenants answer to her with interest. She knew to get her team into a good working formation they needed trust. She let out a sigh and then looked into the distance where Fee and Kelly had walked, she spoke in a more serious tone than the one she usually used. "Well I guess your right, It did take us a while back on Delta, even after ...." she trailed off remembering her trial and dismissal from the service after losing most of SG - 6 her last command. Marah looked up and smiled at Fiala, "Don't worry I'm fine. You should know losing friends is hard" she said and began to hum a slow but joyful tune while she finished up.

Fiala listened to Marah's opinion on Fiona and couldn't help but be protective . But at the end of the day she was right, Fiona did seem wary of Marah and had stuck to her Fiala like glue when they stepped through the gate .

" May be it's your South African accent that is scaring her ."

Fiala grinned as she spoke wondering if she was even bothered by the joke .

" She's new and is still settling, have you haven't even got a chance to introduce yourself . A military figure can be a bit daunting when you first meet them . It can be hard getting a team to be one, but it is vital you remember this isn't Delta and there fresh of the line ."

Fiala continued packing up the samples and took hold of the bag . With the bag secure she set foot in the direction the other two had gone,

" No matter how far you try to run, your past is always right behind you and just to let you know, were not friends were just running in the same direction ,"

With that Fiala laughed and slapped her on her shoulder,

" To make you happy when we get down time we get drunk . You not gone light weight ." --

Fee trotted off with Liam and Shadow. She tried to make small talk. 

So, Lt. Kelly. Where do you hail from? She didn't know the man at all, and ditto his wife. But she was trying. She wished that Fiala had come along to protect her, but she had to lead, so Fee was stuck here. SHe wondered if she appeared as uneasy as she felt-Liam's unfortunate combination of male and owning a dog about the size of Fiona herself caused her to worry a little. 

She led the way towards the next field, but she was alert. She hated to be separated from the team-Fee believed in strength in numbers. She just hoped nothing would happen.

So, Lt. Kelly. Where do you hail from?


Liam glanced over to Fiona when she asked him that.  "I'm from West Virginia, ma'am.....and I'm not a lieutenant." he said to her in a respectful tone while Shadow walked next to him.  Shadow glanced from side to side as they walked along, Liam was doing the same thing as he kept his P90 at the ready.  On his left hip was his M9 while an M4 was in the pack he wore as a back up to his P90.  At the same, he took note of what was going on around them as he continued to walk with her, though he knew that Shadow would pick up on danger long before he would.

Fee blushed. She felt a little silly for her mistake. 

OH, I am sorry, you're right, it's Sargeant, isn't it?! I am sorry. West Virginia? I've never been there. I am from Boston myself...Well, South Boston. She sighed. This wasn't working as well as she'd hoped. 

How is it there?? That would buy her some time. SHe glanced nervously at the dog. She just hoped that Shadow wouldn't sense her fear and bite her instead.

"Yes it is and don't worry about it ma'am." Liam said to her in reply as he glanced over to her.  "Its a great place to live." he added in reply to Fiona's question about what West Virgina was like.  There was a hint of a country accent to Liam's voice as he spoke to her.  At the same time, Shadow stopped and whined a bit, then hunched down like he was going to spring at something.  Liam noticed it and stopped, holding his arm out to Fiona, indicating for her to stop.  "What is it Shadow?" he said to him, but Shadow didn't move from his position.  Liam glanced up ahead, then around them, something didn't set right with him.

Fiala chatted away to Marah catching up on what happened with Delta after she left as they gained up on Fiona and Kelly position . The forest was relaxing, she was beginning to like this mission and she could only wondered if SV-3 were having as much fun . With one sample down, another on the way, It would be only till a matter of time they'd be on there way and if luck would have it they might even be back through the gate with in the hour .

" So how's the sample going, have we got one yet ."

<tag Fiona>

She smiled as she spoke " Ok than lets get moving and get this water sample . So any idea were the water..." Fiala paused at what seemed to be every bird in forest taking flight, the noise was deafening as the army of birds went straight up trying to gain as much height as possible . Fiala's gut and experience were telling her to run like hell as fast as possible . As the birds continued to swarm at a height she finally noticed Shadow and how uneasy he was acting .

" Kelly respond, what's wrong with him ?" Fiala looked towards Marah on her reaction .

< tag liam Kelly and Marah >

" I have to agree, something is wrong, my gut is telling me to run like hell ," with a breath she spoke again with a shout " You heard her, move, on the double ."

At a fast pace they cleared the forest line only to hear a loud horn blow, the noise echoed through the valley and was responded by more horns letting out a reply . Fiala noticed people moving towards the cliff side on the far side of the village . Like little ants running up an ant hill for safety in to a small cave . It was that point Fiala noticed in the distance a large body of water moving towards there position, Fiala's face went pale at the sight and it was clear as day this vally would be flooded rather soon .

" SV-3 from SV-2 , we have a large body of water moving on your position now get to the gate ." As Fiala put down the radio she made sure to pay attention to Fiona and was ready to drag her up the hill if needed . There life might just depend on it and Fiala was still wondering if they would make
in time .

"I won't..." Aear said, but Koren knew he was ready for anything, "Don't worry." Not gonna happen, Koren thought. Mac spoke up, talking to the strange guardsman.

"I am LCOL Sarah Mackenzie, of the United States Marine Corps. We're of the...how do you say?" Koren gave her an exasperated look. How could she not know? the SGC really was scraping the bottom of the barrel for this expedition, "-Tau'ri race. I am just here for the show." She made sure her arms were dropped to her sides, and her feet a friendly foot apart, and pointed towards the man, then jerked her head behind her.  "That is Lt. Koren Telion, United States Air Force...forgive him of THAT sin, and the other one is Aear Charter. He, too, comes in peace, I am sure..."

The man's smile didn't waiver, but neither did the tension in his body; this man was ready for a fight, and he clearly wasn't ready for his men to put down the bows just yet. "Your words mean nothing to me," He said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Except that you claim to be Tau'ri. We have heard of the Tau'ri in ancient legend and myth, but they were rumored to be great warriors, and you..." He looked the Lieutenant Colonel up and down again, "You are a woman."

He shifted his weight, looking sternly at Mac, "Why do you lead this men into battle? What is your crime?"

Koren stepped in front of Mac, placing his hand out and explained, "In our culture, Women are respected and treated the same as men, no matter what the task is." Koren indicated Mac and then himself, "She is our leader, and I am her second in command."

Koren heard a short, sharp laugh from behind him and turned around to see that one of the archers had lowered his bow and was keeled over in laughter. Koren heard the strange man speak again, "This Woman is your master?" Koren turned back to him to see that he was chuckling as well.

"Well..." Koren said, puzzled and a little offended, "...Yes. Of Course." At this the entire alien outfit began to laugh out loud, keeling over in their places, some kneeling to control their laughter. Koren caught Mac's look and whispered to her, "Just go with it. Don't let it get to you," He said, putting his hand on her rifle to keep it down.

As the man recovered his composure, he called out to his men, "These foreigners are of no threat to us! Back to your houses!" After the men had gone, he turned back to Koren, throwing a very strong arm around Koren's shoulders, "Yours is a strange culture, young man. Being led by a woman into battle...Ah, just imagining it makes me laugh," Then he turned to Mac, "And yet, here it is before me!"

The man then proceeded to bow, putting all of his weight on his back foot, and leaning far back with arms outstretched, "I am Agraj Borkakoti, the leader of this settlement." He straightened up again, "What is your purpose here?"

Fee walked along with Liam and Shadow, still not really sure precisely what she was supposed to be doing. She listend to Liam talk, though. 

Yes it is and don't worry about it ma'am...Its a great place to live. Fee nodded. It probably was; Fee hadn't been there, so she was in no position to judge it. She did notice, however, that Shadow began to act strangely, even for a dog. He crouched down, and growled a little. Fee looked around for the offending person, but she saw naught. 


What is it Shadow? Liam motioned for her to stop, so she did. She looked the other way, and saw what might be frightening the animal...the water level was rising. FAST. She bent quickly, and rolled her pants legs up before replying. 

Sgt. Kelly, let's go. Flood coming. We'll need to Gate back. Her wishes had been answered, but she hadn't meant it like THIS. 

From down the radio, she heard Fiala. 

So how's the sample going, have we got one yet?

Not quite, Fiala. We've got a right holy show, though. The three of us will a reáchtáil a dhéanamh chun é...aye, make a runner for it. Um, get to the gate. And someone needs to call Lt. Telion.

"Kelly respond, what's wrong with him?" ........" SV-3 from SV-2 , we have a large body of water moving on your position now get to the gate ." 

Liam herd his CO and went to reply.  "Shadow sensed the flood that's moving in, we are heading back now, out" he replied as he turned and headed back on the double after giving Shadow the command to head back to the gate.  Shadow didn't have to be told twice, the German Shepard tuned and ran as fast as his legs would let him.  Shadow made if back to the gate before his handler did, stopping to catch his breath.  The dog looked at Fiala and the others as he sat there and waited for Liam to return.  Moments later, Liam entered and walked over to him, getting his leash back on while speaking in German.

" SV-3 from SV-2 ," Fiala's urgent voice crackled over the comms, "We have a large body of water moving on your position now! get to the gate!"

Koren shot a look at Mac, then turned to a distraught looking Agraj, "This area is about to flood," He said, looking directly into the man's eyes, "Is there anywhere you and your people can seek shelter?"

Agraj lowered his voice, suddenly serious, "No," He said deeply, "Our nearest village is at least a 2 days walk from here. We will try to find high ground and wait out the waters,"

Koren turned to the LC, "Mac," He said, screw protocol, "We can't just let these people die. We have to take them through the gate with us,"

<TAG Mac>

"Dr. Harrison will find a way. We can spare the rations; we have Shiva coming to resupply." Koren looked defiantly at Mac and grabbed hold of his P90, "I'm not leaving here without these people. I'll stay and ride out the flood if I have to. These people will need the help rebuilding."

<TAG Mac>

"Good," Koren gave Mac a wrap on the shoulder and keyed his radio, "SV-2 to SV-3," He paused, realizing how crazy this might sound and tried to find a way to soften the blow, "We've got a couple people who will be coming with us."

As the man recovered his composure, he called out to his men, "These foreigners are of no threat to us! Back to your houses!"

Being led by a woman into battle...Ah, just imagining it makes me laugh," Then he turned to Mac, "And yet, here it is before me!"

"You know The Noizy Tribe is one of the few Meowtian units that doesn't have a female commander. Generally women are more capable in magic and are better warriors. They also tend to have better tactics." Commented Aear putting his pre-casts away for later, returned his processing to combat ready and lowered his arms as the men returned to their homes.

Aear's ears flicked about as he heard something, a thunderous roaring noise, not a frequency the humans would be able to pick up it was too low. It took him a moment to figure out what the noise was. He turned to Koren a mix of shock and fear on his face as the Fiala's voice came over the radio.

Aear considered what of his spells would be useful in this situation, he could maybe put up some barriers but they would last very long against such force. He couldn't blast his way out of this one unless...

"Fee can you computer calculate how many explosions we'd need to keep the wave away from the village? If I launch enough Hraesvelger... Magic Missilles maybe everyone can get out alive." Aear called out telepathically over the radio. There was no way he could evaporate the entire wave but he could do something at least.

As they approached the gate Fiala heard Koran's reply over the radio, " We've got a couple people who will be coming with us." Fiala's eyes widened at annoyances at the idea of how many people he really ment by a couple .

Her attention shifted towards SV-2 for a second, her accent seemed to grow stronger as the situation heightened " Ok Fiona dial us up, Inform command were taking back guest, Kelly I want you to lead are guests through when they get here . We won't have time to waste, so keep them moving ." Fiala walked backwards in the direction of the village guessing Marah wouldn't just leave SV-3 here ," Kelly your priority is to get you and Fiona through the gate,"
As soon as she finished speaking she turned and went full speed towards the village . The nearer they approach the village the louder the rushing of the water became, she had roughly calculated from experience they had less than ten minutes or less . As she entered the edge of the village she found herself fighting through a growing crowd of people and trying to find SV-3 all the while shouting at the Korans couple of people,

" Keep moving to the ring, you've no time to waste ."

Finally Fiala noticed Koran and Mackanzie, " Sergeant Kelly and MacCafferty are at the gate ready to lead the group through . But we need to pick speed ." < tag all >
