"Wake up, MacUseless!"
Jack then woke up again, in his pup tent, back on the dusty valley floor of 2R3.
A low rumble emanated from the mountain range bearing north. The tinny voice of Lt. Harolds, one of the SG-5 outpost pickets pitched eight clicks off, crackled through Jack's radio.
"Colonel, we're eyeballing an atmospheric disturbance, about thirty degress above the horizon. Looks like the blast plume of a ship in a descent-deccel profile, sir. It's closing in rapidly."
Jack bore out of his tent at a flat run towards the Stargate. Sam Carter was already standing at the low, gray form of the DHD.
"Get that gate dialed, Major!" he said, slapping in a fresh clip to the P90.
"Already going, Colonel." she replied, pressing at the glyphs. "Spin up the MALP, sir, if you'd please."
Jonas and Teal'c came trotting in behind them, Jonas skidding to a stop in the loose dirt. "What is the problem here?"
"Apparently our trouble may be that." Teal'c said, pointing north. In the purple hue of the dawning sky, a dark rippling spot of vapor was slowly arcing towards the planet, growing larger as its distance shortened rapidly."
Jack clicked at his radio. "SG-5, evacuate your camp immediately. Get into the Humvee and get back here ASAP. I say again, ASAP."
"Roger that. Evac camp, pronto."
The rumbling sound intensified. Jack looked up to see that the head of the trailing snake of vapor or smoke was approaching closer.
"Sir, at the velocity that object is coming in, the hypersonic shock wave that'll come off it is gonna?"
Sam was cut off as a loud *BOOM* hammered at their heads, followed a half a second later by an even greater shock of air that physically pushed everyone off their feet.
