Why This Must Be Read: Here's some classic teamy goodness for you: the team down, but not quite out, struggling to get back to the Stargate with Jaffa on their heels. The plot twist is fairly obvious, but you'll be enjoying your time with the team so much that it won't matter!

Great Jack voice. Competent Sam. Incredibly stubborn Daniel. Even Teal'c, who spends much of the story unconscious, is satisfyingly himself! Read this one and enjoy.

"Rel'shok." Daniel had swung into lecture mode, though in deference to the recent departure of the foe he kept his voice down to a mere whisper. "Roughly translated, it means 'whizbang'."

"So much for the translation," O'Neill told him peevishly. "What is it?"

"Teal'c would be able to explain it much better than I can--"

"Do your best, Daniel." O'Neill was not in a waiting mood. "Teal'c's taking a nap."

"Basically, it's the visual equivalent of a sonic grenade. Whereas a sonic grenade causes unconsciousness through noise--"

"--this one hits the optic nerve," Carter finished grimly. "Colonel O'Neill and I are blind. What about Teal'c?"

"He was closer to the blast," Daniel said. "I think it knocked him out. I'm hoping that he'll come around soon."

"So am I," O'Neill told him. "It's gonna be tough to find the Stargate and get out of this hell hole without him. How long does this blindness thing last? A few minutes?"

Silence.

"A few days?"

More silence.

"Daniel?"

Silence had never been so loud.

"I don't know, Jack," Daniel had to admit.

More silence. Then--

"Crap."
