Spoiler:
Chapter 4
DIY stargate.
The disturbing fact the wraith named Gabriel had not fed in several days seemed to unnerve her. They sat in silence for most of the day until dusk fell and Gabriel insisted she get some sleep, reluctantly she lay down on the ground under Gabriel’s cloak. He had kindly offered her it as protection against the dirty rocky floor. Sam dared not even sleep. She still didn’t trust him. He it seemed didn’t want to sleep either, instead he stood near the cave entrance looking out into the gloom. Finally dawn approached and Gabriel walked over, Sam heard his movements and sat up. “you didn’t sleep at all did you?” he scowled. Sam nodded “and neither did you.” “that is no concern, you will need concentration to fix the gate.” Sam nodded again but something still puzzled her. “so why do you want the gate fixing so badly? Why cant you just get on your dart and leave?” Gabriel returned to staring at the sun rising over a hill “your people shot down my dart in their escape, no one else picked me up. im as stranded as you are.” Sam digested all of this. “so why did you make us trek to this cave?” “because Samantha I know other wraith have crashed and survived. They will be hunting for food regardless of the broken stargate, they believe their hive will return for them, they are wrong.” “and your saving me because of the obligation?” at this Gabriel laughed. It was a low hoarse laugh. “no Samantha carter not just that. I know you are the only one on this planet who could fix the stargate and get everyone home.” Suddenly Sam sat up and handed him his dusty jacket back. “well better get to work eh?” with that they both marched out of the cave and back along the trail to the stargate. It wasn’t easy with stiff joints and not a wink of sleep since yesterday morning but she’d been in worse shape. Gabriel on the other hand didn’t seem perturbed by the lack of sleep and walked ahead at a leisurely pace. It was fast approaching midday again and the heat was making things worse, after another long, uneventful walk they arrived. Gabriel hung back watching Sam as she looked over the stargate. Pulling off a panel in the DHD she started checking the crystals. She finished her examination and approached Gabriel again “well I can fix it. But it’s going to take time. The reason no one has contacted us is because both the dialing in crystal and the dialing out crystal is fried.” “how long?” “about 4 hours give or take.” “ok get to work we have to be….” He stopped in mid sentence and looked around. “what? What is it?” Gabriel looked at her fear in his eyes for the first time. “they know were here…and they’re coming fast.”
