Five times Daniel lied about a translation (2/2)shinealightonmeJuly 11 2009, 09:29:19 UTC
4. Buried beneath the ruins of the city of Nel'tash lies a weapon capable of unimaginable destruction.
"Well, Dr. Jackson?" the war chief demands, looming over him. "We don't have all day. The rebels could attack the city again at any moment. Does the tablet say anything useful or not?"
This sort of thing never ends well.
Daniel purses his lips and stalled for time. "Well, there's a rather interesting bit here about agricultural development in the northern regions of the continent - "
"Daniel, do we need to have another talk about the use of the word 'interesting?'" Jack is grinning, though, because these antics are funny when they're happening to someone other than him.
"I remember quite well from the first thousand or so talks, thanks."
"Well, than I suppose our work here is done," Jack stretches. "Pack up and let's head for the gate, boys and girls."
5. "..."
Daniel's eyebrows shoot up into the air and he starts to choke on his coffee.
"Was it something I said?" Vala asks, all girlish charm.
"Could be," Cameron grins. "What'd you say?"
"Oh, I don't know," she shrugs. "Just a little something I...picked up on a planet, once. I don't know what it means."
"Really," Daniel scowls once he can breath again. "You don't know what that means but you just happened to hear it somewhere, remember it this whole time, and just decide to whisper it in my ear?"
"Yup!"
"Come on, man, we're dying to know," Cameron laughs. "What'd she say?"
"Nothing interesting," Daniel huffs and tries not to blush as they proceed to pester him about it for the rest of the day.

I love #4, and Daniel's perception that new weapons will not help the situation. These are all very much in keeping with the diplomat Daniel was originally brought along to be.
