Description
Just a quick opener. I figured that if I didn't start this story soon...I'd never get around to it.

NOTE: The time frame of this one is somewhere in Season 5.

Tooth and Claw

Part I

“Well so far I’m unimpressed.” Jack growled.

“Jack, we’ve been here less than thirty seconds.” Daniel countered. “Sam and Teal’c haven’t even made it through the Gate yet.”

Daniel waved his hand at the active wormhole just as Teal’c stepped through, followed quickly by Sam. Jack looked them over, looked around at the heavily forested world, and then back at Daniel.

“Okay, we’re all here...can we go home now?” Jack asked seriously.

“The Tok'ra seem to believe this world has suddenly become important to one of the Gou’ald that they watch.” Teal’c stated. “Should we not explore it?”

“No.” Jack said firmly. “If the Tok'ra think it’s so important *they* should be exploring it.”

“Sir, they don’t have the resources.” Carter pointed out. “They asked us to come here as a favour.”

“I’m getting sick of doing them ‘favours’.” Jack said sourly.

“Jac...” Daniel started.

“Half and hour, then we’re going home.” Jack said firmly. “Carter, send the MALP back through.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Sam went over to the DHD and dialed the Gate back to the base. Daniel looked around the immediate vicinity and when he found nothing of interest he started to wander off down the path that led away from the Gate.

“Daniel,” Jack called “where are you going?”

“Half an hour isn’t much time to explore an entire planet, might as well get started.” Daniel replied over his shoulder.

“Teal’c go with him...try to keep him out of trouble.”

Teal’c nodded and headed down the path that Daniel had taken. Sam watched the active gate snap shut just after the last of the MALP slip through the event horizon. Turning around she found Jack looking generally irritated.

“Something wrong, Sir?”

“Yeah...we’re wasting our time here.”

“You think the Tok'ra have sent us on a wild goose chase.” Sam smiled.

“The thought crossed my mind.”

“I doubt they would do that. If the Gou’ald are interested in this planet, there must be something here.”

“It’s the ‘if’ part that concerns me.” Jack looked around.

“Colonel?” Sam asked in concern.

“I don’t know.” Jack answered the implied question. “I just have a bad feeling about this place.”

“You say that about a lot of planets.” Sam chuckled.

“And notice how often I’m right.”

“Jack?” The radio squawked in Daniel’s voice. “We found something.”

“What is it?”

“Ruins. An altar of sorts.”

“Alright, Carter and I are on our way.”

“Okay.”

“Daniel?” Jack asked.

“Yeah?”

“Don’t touch anything.”
