The Doctor said goodbye to all. “Well, companion, shall we go?”
Illumirie sighed. “Stop calling me your companion. I actually know MORE than you.”
The Dcotor grinned yet again. “We shall see… you lost the bet on Chalak-5 remember?”
“Don’t remind me.”
Everyone watched as they went to explore time in the TARDIS.
O’Neill clapped his hands. “WELP! Time to go to some random planet on a mission. AWAY WE GO!”

O’Neill grinned. “WELCOME TO THIS RANDOM PLANET-“
“PX-3456” Carter said.
“-WHICH WE REALLY NEED TO FIND A BETTER NAME FOR!”
The stargate closed behind them.
The scenery was grassland, with some buildings in the distance. They appeared to be of a somewhat advanced society.
Celia tapped the gate. “It’s sideways.” Celia was the System representative chosen to accompany SG-1 for the current week. The System always had a few representatives running around the base, each one generally assigned to one of the SG teams. SG-1 always had one.
Carter looked at the gate. “Huh. It’s upsidown too. The final chevron is on the bottom…”
“Odd.” Daniel muttered. “Who would put a stargate upsidown? It naturally stands on its bottom. . .”
Celia scratched her yellow hair. “I can flip it over. Give me a few secs.”
Then her voice changes slightly, getting a little deeper. “Okay grass, flip the gate…”
Teal’C had still not gotten used to the fact that Celia was inhabited by a Goa’Uld like creature called a Wisp. And that the Wisp and Celia exerted equal control over the body they shared.
Celia wrapped some grass around the top of the gate embedded in the ground, and uprooted it. Then she tensed. She gave the grass metallic properties. “Well that was weird…”
“What?” Carter asked.
“It’s as if the stargate wants to fall up. Into the sky. As soon as I dislodged it form the ground it started pulling on my plants really hard… I hope they’re okay…”
Her voice shifted. “CELIA! They’re just PLANTS.”
Celia got annoyed. “Yellow. They’re OUR plants. Our little friends…”
Yellow facepalmed.
Celia got angry. “That’s my face too you know.”
Daniel turned around while Celia argued with herself. “Okay. Not weird at all.”
O’Neill nodded. “Try not to think too hard about it. Well, we should probably head for the city over there shouldn’t we? First contact and all that.”
Daniel nodded. “These are the first people we’ve seen even close to our level of technology.”
Teal’C shook his head. “Do not get your hopes up Daniel Jackson. Goa’Uld are known for wiping out any people who achieve any sort of technological advancement. The city could be in ruins.”
O’Neill sighed. “HELLO! The only way we’re going to find OUT is by GOING THERE.”

Patema had snuck out again. She was walking through the danger zone, but that didn’t’ matter to her. She was adventurous. She appeared to be about 13 or 14, but was in reality seventeen years old. She had always looked young. But that didn’t stop her adventurous spirit.
