Some notes before reading:
A. This is not meant to be canon, but that's why it's FF. If you wanted to force it in canon it would be after Time, but before Justice. It explains what happened with the water.
Chapter One:
Eli Wallace sat, Kino in hand, on a bench in what was now the mess hall of the Destiny. His documentary was coming along rather well, but one thing was missing. A simple, ordinary day. Every day on the Destiny had been nearly fatal. With his life almost always in jeopardy, he began to desensitize himself from the fear of death. Of course he still dreaded the day when he took his last breath but after zooming through a sun several billion light years from home, it was hard to worry about death without thinking about what he had lived through. To his left, Chloe was resting her head on Scotts shoulder. Figures he thought to himself. But before he had the time to dwell on his feelings, Rush bolted in.
"The Destiny dialed up a new planet. Scott, Eli we need to hurry. We have-" he looked at his watch. "About six hours before we're off. We need to get whatever we can from this planet or-"
"We all die! Ahhh!" Eli said sarcastically. He was laughing at what he said when he noticed everyone around him had death-looks on their faces. "What? Isn't that usually the idea? C'mon! I can't be the only one that noticed that!” Still the looks remained. "Oh fine.” He got up and followed Scott and Rush out of the mess hall.
In what Eli was now calling the Gate room, TJ, Rush, Greer, Young, Scott and Eli were gathered around the display of the Kino. Eli had sent it through moments ago, and the images looked appealing.
"Looks like a jungle planet." Eli thought aloud, gazing at the beautiful vista.
"It seems like it should have what we need." Rush replied to Eli's thought. Rush moved from his spot, and grabbed three large bags. “Inside of these are containers. We need to fill these with fresh water, if we find it.”
"Maybe this time the water won't kill us." Greer said, scowling at Rush.
"Ok, Save the fighting for later. Let's just go through the gate." Scott suggested, grabbing Greer’s arm. Greer nodded and shrugged off Scott’s hand. He didn’t’ t look back as he walked through the event horizon. TJ, followed by Young and Scott went through next, their rifles in a ready position.
Here we go again Eli thought to himself as he took his pre-gate breath of air.
"You do know that you don't have to hold your breath when you go through the gate right?" Rush asked quizzically. Eli shrugged. They both walked through the gate bags strapped to their shoulders.
~*~*~*~
Eli was falling. Suddenly, he was submerged in water. It filled his nose as he hit the surface of a lake. He broke through the surface of the water and saw that everyone else was having the same predicament.
"See! That's why I hold my breath!" He yelled at Rush.
"Eli! Why didn't you warn us! You're the Kino guy!" Scott yelled at him from a few feet away.
"When have I ever had a reason to check the ground!?"
Greer, who had found solid ground twenty or so feet away, called out to them. "You'd better look up..."
All six heads looked up in unison at the gate that was floating above them.
"This complicates things." Rush stated.
