Jade had woken up fairly bouncing with excitement, but by the time she'd showered and dressed in her newly-found fatigues or BDUs or whatever they were actually called and joined the assembling team near the stargate she'd put on an appearance of outward calm. It wasn't a trip to Tau, but it was a trip offworld, a trip to investigate mysterious things which had, on the whole, failed to emerge on the planet they were actually living on ( ... )

It was strange how easily his presence had been accepted and his request to join the off-world excursion, although unusual, had not even been questioned. Let alone the leaders asking HOW he knew there was going to be an offworld mission ( ... )

Ron had volunteered to control the group around the gate. After all, he was military and they had needed someone who could take command, in a given emergency. Or to make the hard decisions. Jack's commands of "leave us if no answer" elicited a nod.

He knew Jack hated the chain of command thing, but in circumstances like this, it was impossible not to try and rag on Jack; a little. "Sir, I will keep in touch with base, too. It stands to reason that even though we are separated, we can keep in touch more easily that way.

Even before Will's contacts had told him that Jade was going on the off-world mission, Will had made arrangements for himself. He was kind of nervous about investigating another alien world, but his curiosity got the better of him. Besides, he was (discreetly) armed to the teeth: 9 mm semi-auto pistol, long-range TASER, vibro-knife, and his brand new Small Area Time Decelerator (SATD). Under his desert-colored fatigues Will wore the lightweight bulletproof armor one of his ELE colleagues had invented. The carbon fiber mesh felt like thin nylon thermal underwear. Will knew from personal experience that the fabric worked ( ... )

Once the large group cleared the 'gate and the wormhole blinked out behind them, Ami took a moment to survey the surroundings. She had access to the initial scans and information gathered by GT-2, but photographs and diagrams had nothing on the real thing. Dust and sand, all around, scattered desert vegetation here and there. Once the sun cleared the horizon, it was going to go from cool to warm and possibly hot very quickly ( ... )
