[b]Kay and Rea'c[/b]

“It’s possible.” Kayle admitted though in truth, she had a distinct feeling Ariadne would’ve likely shared that detail when they arrived close to the planet. At least she wanted to believe so because otherwise, it would’ve brought her pleasant opinion down a few notches about the Tok'ra. The second Lt. could the irritation in the Captain’s voice and slightly regretted her first instinct for a moment. However she didn’t make that known while she listened to orders, nodded when they finished. 

“Yes, Sir.” Her hand released from her radio, ending the transmission. Her eyes turned upon the crumpled body of their current ‘guest’ and once more hunched down to examine him. Her fingers gently edged, careful not to agitate the wound in anyway, as she noted the effects of Rea’c’s aim. To be honest, she was rather impressed by the marksmanship compared to her own though she tried to focus on her current task.

When she was finally satisfied the man would be stable enough to be beamed aboard. She retrieved a spare tag she usually carried upon her person and placed it onto the man, securing it there and then reached for her radio to have him beamed up. The familiar white beam flooded her vision before he was gone, not a trace left other than the lingering scent of burnt flesh and his footprints leading from the trees.

“Now that mess is over, where do you suggest we start looking next?” Kay asked as she dusted her hands and stood upright. Her head turned to her companion, her hand was in the process of putting her knife away without sparing it even a glance.

Rea’c put the Zat back in his holster and he scanned the horizon and the footprints of what had been the villagers heading back and forward to and from the river. He scanned around, and at the local mountainous terrain. “We are tasked with checking that there are no ambushes in the area. “I believe that our best bet would be to head to the local mountain terrain, that will also allow us to get a good vantage point of the Ancient Facility where Colonel Blaze and Lieutenant Brown are tasked to try and discover a way into the facility.”

He looked around some more, trying to get a feel for his surroundings. “It does feel like the best course of action. I believe the Tauri have devices for seeing the heat peoples bodies emit? Such a device would allow you to look down from the elevation of the mountain and look for traps.” He looked up at the local face. “It looks to be no more than half an hours walk to the base, and probably a further half hour to the halfway point. I would recommend running however I forget sometimes how long the people of the Tauri can run, as they do not have the same stamina of the Jaffa.”

Kay nodded. “I agree, a high vantage point will be rather helpful. And those tools, they are thermal goggles.”

As she mentioned them, she had already patted her side where her own set was kept. There wasn’t a point in pulling the set out until they reached their destination and motioned for him to lead, her voice added some facts about her own limitations. “Let’s try a slow pace and sweep the area while on route. I rather be thorough and slow, then be too hasty and miss something.” 

With that, she got her Zat back out and held it within her hand. After the man’s appearance, she wasn’t going be caught off guard again or allow Rea’c to get a shot off. Last thing she honestly wanted was a death while on her first mission upon foreign soil, fully focus on not allowing it to happen at any cost if possible. 

[b][i]Ze Spy[/i][/b]

The spy had an issue, he needed files sent back to Earth to go through channels (untracable of course) in order for the new guest to stay. He knew there was no way from he record that the Captain would keep the man on board as were Tonaks plans. He had encoded the files, however now he needed them to get to Earth. Thankfully he had the perfect opportunity. The orders would come through almost instantly of being sent out and the Captain would have no choice but keep the prisoner on as a "consultant". Of course if someone tried to trace the trail it would take years, going through side channels and political/legal loopholes. It would simply look like the IOA trying to screw with her even more than they already were.

Williams sighed, he wouldn't have to make this unscheduled report if medical procedures weren't so thorough- which reminded him to get on the case about Captain Falks blood test. He didn't like people keeping secrets from him, not one bit. Irony at one of its highest levels. He had the report condensed and ready to go, no point in having the gate activated for too long. After all in a situation with raised tensions between two sides with space vessels a massive event such as a open wormhole would appear as a massive energy signature and he didn't want it to seem as if they were attacking. He sent the report down to the gateroom and received confirmation when the message had been sent, the wormhole literally only had time to activate, settle and then was deacitvated once again as quickly as the gate and the computer systems would allow it to happen.

The message which compiled several reports mainly detailed for the request for the computer technician who was going to be Lawsons protegee to come aboard. At the same time he ensured that Lawson was duly informed to head towards the gate room in order to meet and greet her. Especially with the fact that they would be going on a mission so soon there wasn't a lot of time.
