h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A pleasure, I'm sure.

*Buffs up his CAPTAINS bars a little, until the gleam off them is blinding*

So Major, whats the breifing?

The first time we visited this planet was for purely exporitory reasons. However Atum sent an entire battalion of jaffa. Obviously theres something of great importance to him here. We need to know what it is. Now we can secure the gate site but Major Scandreas kidnapping tells us that Atum is within flight distance from here. That means for all we know he may have a presence already on the planet. Or be preparing one.

Our breif is to locate any camp sites of jaffa and find out what secret this planet holds. I want the two of you to start scouting this place. Use the automated gliders to cut down on time.

Gentlemen, we have permission to engage on sight.

Okay, should be easy, peasey lemon squeezy then.

Anything else?

*hands them both a map*

These are the sectors I want you to survey. Your teams are waiting for you.

Good luck.

*Sounds of slaves working on the outcrop echo across the plains.*

*Nods and walks toward his team*

Seargent Pinkella!

[Pinkella] Here Sir!

Inform the Chosen Men about the details and load up the men.

[Pinkella] Chosen Men? Sir.

*Sighs*

Corporals, seargent, Corporals.

*Pinkella turns to his duty as LeRue studies the plan*

<<>> *Walks over to LeRue* Can I help at all?

Yes, thank god. 14 down, large cat, starts with 'O', and it should end with a t.

*Looks up*

Any ideas?

*Behind them the men start to load up the glider*

How many letters?

Six.

Hmm... "O-something-something-something-something-something-t"? Hmm...

*studies map, makes a few markings on it then walks over to his team*

*briefs the team on what they are going to do*

Okay men, load up the glider and be ready to move out

*rolls a cigarette, lights it and starts smoking it*

*Four jaffa are on patrol on the eastern end of the camp.*

*still stuck with the crossword question, Nuge sits and fiddles with his p-90*

OCELOT!

*Writes it in*

okay 7 down, a lovers meeting.

*clips one of those chip things into his P90 and starts patrolling, whistling "Ode to Joy" quietly to himself*

[Pinkella] The glider is loaded up, Sir.

Okay Sergeant.

Nuge care to come along with SG-6 on this one?
