Why This Must Be Read: On the surface, this seems at first glance to be a fairly straightforward 'mission gone wrong' story, but read on, and that perception turns sideways and upside down more than once as the plot unfolds. This is an artfully constructed story, beautifully written and highly entertaining. In particular, the aliens are an amazing creation and the black humour is especially well delivered ... but really, I absolutely love the entire thing, start to finish!
O'Neill quickly glanced over his shoulder as did Teal'c. At least fifty more aliens, also clad in thin white or purple robes, filled the empty space behind the gate. Where the heck had they come from?
Daniel smiled pleasantly, despite the tense atmosphere. He raised his hand casually. "Hi."
Two aliens in front of him, one clad in white, the other purple, stepped closer and both emitted low clicking noises that sounded like light switches flicking on and off. They blinked their eyes rapidly.
"Um, my name is Daniel Jackson. We come from—"
The aliens, the whole kit and caboodle of them, started clicking emphatically.
"Fans of yours?" O'Neill prodded lightly. He tightened his grip on his weapon. He didn't like the feel of the situation at all.
"I … have no idea." Daniel was as confused as his teammates.
