Day 55, Day, Off-World, Attn: Lorne, Bates, McKay
When Miles emerged from the event horizon, his eyes popped open to see a clearing surrounded by lush forest. He stepped forward away from the Stargate and looked around curiously.
He'd gone through the Stargate just once, when they were traveling to the Pegasus Galaxy in the first place, and while this had been a shorter trip, he found himself just as surprised as he had when he first arrived in Atlantis.
The sun was shining, there seemed to be birds chirping in the surrounding trees, the sky was blue, the air was breathable, and if it weren't for the fact that he knew he was in another galaxy, he could have sworn he was back on Earth.
It was like the one time his parents had decided to take a vacation because the doctor had told Dad that his blood pressure was too high, and as a result, his parents had planned to drive down to Disney World from Germantown, Maryland. The trees had looked the same in Florida as they had in Maryland, with noticeably less evergreens and more leafy trees.
Of course, by the end of the road trip, his father's blood pressure had jumped, and there had been a moratorium on family trips from then on. Miles had been relieved because that meant he wouldn't have to miss the Real Ghostbusters.
After looking around, he glanced at the others, checking quickly to see if the two military men had unholstered their guns, or if the peaceful surroundings hadn't warranted being ready to shoot the first humanoid they saw full of holes.
