Jake had suggested that he would stay behind while Jack checked out the area and Daniel worked on the writings in the buildings. He knew there were other people who had come through the gate too but they were most likely guarding the gate for now. Hammond would never just send a team of two. He had gone back to the old camp grounds to pack things up but he wanted also to set his leg and make up a brace for it. He still hadn't told them about it yet.
Once he was back at the camp, he sat down on the ground and took his hat off, rolling it up to give himself something to bit down on. He took a two strips of metal and placed it on either side of his leg before twist his leg when he felt the bone settle back in place. He held pressure on there. Using his free hand to feel the area to make sure it was in place. The had had muffled his scream while had had been sitting his leg. It was rough but it was the best he could do. He had taken some boot lace to the strips of metal in place before pulling his pant leg back down.
Then he went to work on back everything up. When he found one of the many med kits they had with him, he swallowed a couple of aspirin before getting back to work. About twenty minutes later, he was using the MALP to move half of the gear towards the place they had felt would be safer than being out in the open. It would take two more trips before he had everything carried to the site. His leg was throbbing by the end of that hour and half. He was sitting on the ground, leaning back against the MALP, taking his time drinking a bit of water. His leg stretched out in front of him. He wished he has something alcoholic instead of water. He knew there was cider, tea, juice and some poweraid drink mix in with the MREs even milkshake mix but he didn't feel like digging around in the crates for them.
The place they had picked out was one of the more sturdy looking buildings. He figured he could take some wire and use some of the jaffa's armor to make an secondary alarm system. They had good first one but he wanted something that could do some damage if it was tripped instead of making a loud noise. He wasn't sure what was lurking on this planet but he wanted to be sure everyone was safe. They sky was starting to grow darker as the hours passed by. He wondered how the others were making out as he stood up slowly to get working on making that secondary alarm system.
About two hours later, he had the system up and even the trip wires set in place. Everything for that was in place about thirty feet from the building they were in. Surrounding the area and the traps were about five feet between each other. Jake also had unpacked the sleeping gear and got that laid out in the building. There were some old bunks there that he had fixed up to make comfortable and give them something else to lay their sleeping gear on other than the floor. Everything else had been moved inside but not touched yet.
Jake had been leaning against the MALP with his head down against it. The metal felt cool against his warm forehead. He felt sick to his stomach from the pain. He knew sleep wasn't going to be easy tonight but he didn't want to use up the medical supplies or take anything stronger than an aspirin. The whole being ready and alert thing came first. He wasn't sure when Daniel or Jack or whoever else would be coming back but it was time to take this break.

Jack, shortly after he made his way by the suggestion of the captain, made his way around the area. He found a few jaffa weapons cashes, and a few supplies. After getting it unraveled, he put some of the weapons back at base camp and hauled some of it to the outer perimeter. He saw that jake, was also setting up a secondary perimeter. Using an elaborate system of strings and attachments, he made it so that an almost crippling alarm would go off when someone tripped the wire, and it would set off some of the machine guns that he also had set up.
After bringing the staff weapons and the zat guns back to base camp, jack approached jake and leaned up against the MALP. "Ok, primary perimeter is set up and i saw that you have a secondary perimeter in case mine fails." said Jack as the sun was still pretty high in the sky. "Everyone here hopefully knows how to use goa'uld weaponry, cause i found a whole case full of zats, and staffs" said Jack leaning against the MALP with his P90 facing down. "Ever use one?" said Jack looking over at jake. His head was down on the metal of the MALP and he did not look well. "You alright Donely?" said jack as he put one hand on jake.

Daniel, like always gitty as a school boy, reading the symbols on the wall's. He stood up and walked further down the building's wall to read the the symbols he then bent down and then continued to read.
he then felt puzzled what he read. according to the text on the wall it said, In order to Get the gate to dial out you must get to the 2nd DHD, this was by the stargate was to fool enemy's of Ra. But there is the other DHD he thought.
He read further into the writing until he walked way, he did not seem to excited anymore, He made his way over to Jack.
"Well Jack, i think we are in alittle trouble here, it seems that there were 2 DHD's on this planet, the one by the stargate, is not the matching one for the gate. But Ra took it with him when he left this planet."

Jake had already lost too many people and the last thing he wanted was to lose anymore. So he was going to do what it took to keep everyone alive. Good thing he had two cases of various P90s, Machine guns and handguns here to help him out and glad Jack had gone with that. His secondary system wasn't using anything like that just things like heavy objects, traps in the ground and some spiked objects that would come flying at a person. He also set up the alarm system they had around the original camp that would go off if anyone walked passed one of the trip systems. It would be loud enough to wake them up and hopefully scare anyone away..
He was running a list through his mind, trying to figure out what else they needed to do. A fire was needed, get something to eat even though he didn't feel like eating. It was important to get rest and energy. But was also trying to think if he forgot anything that needed to be shared about all that went down. His head turned slightly in his arms as he heard Jack coming in. A slight nod of his head was given. "That's good to know. We still have a bunch of P90s and 9mm here among a few zats too. I had taken what I could from everyone that I could. So those weapons were added to the two cases we have here of that stuff and rounds too."
Jake had cleaned up the paint off from his face and there was a cut running down the side of his face from his hair line but it wasn't anything to serious. His leg was the real problem but there would be no way he would ever let on about that. "I used one before but I'm better as a sniper."He had tucked his head back in his arms and against of his cool metal. His body tensed up but was still trembling a little under Jack's touch. He was also burning up from the fever had but he kept pushing himself so it wasn't helping him get any better.
"I'm fine. Just hard watching everyone die around you. He said not sure if it would be brought or not. When Daniel had come in, he lifted his head back up and turned slightly as he listened. Things didn't sound too good. While he had his head down against the metal a few moments ago, he had remembered something. He pulled out his tape recorder and moved towards Daniel, limping still. "The guy who turned against us, started to speak these words I never heard before. It's nothing like those snake heads speak but it sound really angry. Maybe you can figure it out." He held the tape recorder out to Daniel.

Jack "Alright, so there's one with staff experience" said Jack as he turned around to see daniel. He had been deciphering some of the characters upon the walls that littered with goa'uld symbols. HE heard the bad news from daniel about the dhd being taken by ra. "So essentially, we are dialing another stargate to earth?" said Jack as he made his way back to jake.
"Ok since you are a sniper, you might wanna take point over there Donely. Myself, and a few others will use the staffs and be on patrol through rotations through the night." said Jack turning back to daniel. "Daniel, try to see more about that weapon hammond was talking about." said Jack as he turned out the door. "Now if you will excuse me, im going to play golf." said Jack as he turned out the door, and carried a makeshift of a golf bag.

Daniel moved in closer to get a better place to hear the recording better, He stood there staring at the ground, his mind contracting very hard on the recording, then he heard something.
'noo ani abicierum .......Noo Ani Da replicator....fugit ciruculum." We are not to give up, We are...replicators......All must End. Daniel said out loud, His face worried, He knew what one word meant, even jack did. One thing for for sure there were replicators on this planet. Daniel turned his toward Jake,
Where did he start acting Weird?
Daniel bent down and grabed his P-90.

Jake had been trained in many weapons, more than he could count. Chances were if it was a weapon, he knew how to work it or soon would. He was trained to be a killing machine. His unit was suppose to be the next advanced soldiers out there on the front lines but Army lost the funding for their secret unit and a good amount of the men had been killed in the line of duty or be put in a mental institution. Jake was one of the few who managed to come out normal in the end but it was the help of his family which made the real difference. But he really didn't know how to let people get close to him or show his emotions all that well.
"So that would explain why Richards found that set of gate address.. One of them has to have a way for us to get home." He said, trying to be hopeful even though he wasn't sure how good the chances were of them getting home. It was hard for him not to live just in the moment. His eyes moved to look over to where Jack had told him to be and he gave a nod of his head. "Looks like a good point to be. I'll get things set up there soon. One shot, one kill or at least I hope so.. With those creatures, I would hit them point blank and they should have died but kept coming. We have a bunch of C4 and other explosives here. I set up some of too. It seemed the best to work on those creatures." He said.
Jake raised an eyebrow when Jack took his golf bag and left to play golf. A shake of his head given wondering how the man could be that relaxed and up for playing around during at time like this. It wasn't something he got. He turned back to Daniel as he started to talk about what was on that tape. "Didn't see any of those robot bugs the whole time we had been here. During those weeks nothing happened until that attack." Jack limped back over to the MALP and got the rifle he had be using to help him walk.
"As for that guy. He started to act stranger after he was bitten by the creature. The creature fell over dead afterwards.. And his body turned into that goo liquid just like the man's body after I killed him. I didn't have a choice, it was either him or Brown." Jake carefully lowered himself onto one of the cots, stretching his leg out.

Jack managed to hit a few sphere shaped rocks out onto the horoizon before he heard that horrible word. Replicator. He had faced those more then a few times and he had helped construct a weapon against the weapon when he was a genius. "Hey! Did i just hear replicaotr?" said Jack as he came back into the room that daniel and jake were on. Jake was lying down in the cot, and daniel was listening to the tape.
"We don't have the weapons to destroy the replicators. The only ones who do are the asguard, and we don't have any communication with either the asguard or any of our ships." said Jack shrugging his hand on his head.
"IF c4 works that well against the beasts, it would be best to set up a claymore or two along with some c4 so that we don't waste or explosives. Somehow if the replicators are here, those beasts will be the last of our worries." said Jack as he sat down on a chair and sighed.
"Hopefully we can hold them off with the munitions we have here, because as far as I'm known, we don't have any of the weapons to kill the replicators, or space communication equipment." said Jack rubbing the point in between his eyebrows.
Seeing jake limp, he knew something was wrong with his leg. "Daniel do you remember if a doctor came with us through the gate? It looks like Donely injured himself. We don't want in injured person on the field but then again, he is going to be sniper so it does not require too much movement.

Daniel looked over to Jack who was walking over and talking about the dreadful Replicators, Daniel put the recorder down on a nearby tub, and walked over to another tub and opened it.
"Jack, we do have a weapon to defeat the Replicators." Daniel pulled out a large looking weapon , it fact it was the same that jack made on a Asgard ship, when Sam was taken by the Replicators.
We got this back from the Asgard's when they were able to copy it, so i take this were ever we go......Just in case."
Daniel closed the Tub and walked over to jack, He held it out and gave the weapon to Jack. He then heard jack ask if there was a doctor that came with them, but Daniel was not really sure who came with them, Daniel looked at the 4 other men who came through the gate with them. 'Um, Hang on, Medic!! over here.
One men over near the gate came rushing over to Daniel, Jack and Jake.

Jake laid there on the cot, listening and thinking about what Jack and Daniel were talking about. His mind thinking about everything that was here. As he listeneded. "What is we are dealing with a different kind of Replicator.. Not those little metal bugs but something else. I mean, come on. Look at this place. Old buildings, woods. Nothing advance. It's more of a feeding ground for someone like Daniel. No offense Doctor. Jake said, thinking out loud. Before he turned carefully to look at the those to men. Jake should have been feeling tired from all he had gone through and being up most of the night but he didn't feel like it. However he just need a moment to gather himself and get things in check. It was why he was laying on the cot.
He watched as Daniel pulled out the weapon, glad they had something just incase those metal bugs were here. He looked back at Jack when something about claymores were talked about. I put little amounts of C4 about a mile out so it wouldn't hurt us and gives up a better chance just in case those things One the very edge of our alarm system, I placed a few claymores. Enough to do damage to anything that comes in here in trips things without hurting us. I used a total about two blocks of C4.." Jake explained a little more.
When he heard something about a medic, a shake of his head was given. "I'm fine, just twisted my knee. I'll be okay. There is no need for a medic. I just need a moments rest...been up since yesterday morning." He said, hoping it would be brought. He didn't want the others to worry about him. He gave a deep sigh as he saw the medic coming into the building. He sat up, carefully moving his leg.
The medic took his vitals as he sat there. Making little notes along the way. Asking Jake a few questions and getting more no as an answer more than anything else. When he moved to look over Jake's knee. Pulling up the pant leg, he saw the brace there. He felt along the leg which made Jake wince his eyes. The medic pulled down the other's pant leg before turning to look at Jack. "Well Colonel, he has a fever. The cut on his head needs clean. There isn't much I can do for his leg, it might be broken but has been put in a brace. I can't do much for it with the stuff I have here for his leg." Jake looked around at everyone, the last thing he wanted to do was be stuck in a bed for weeks. He could barely sit still unless he was on a mission carrying something else.
"I'll be okay. Been through worse than this." His voice trailed off, wondering what O'Neill would say. After all the other man held rank over him.
