<p>He waited patiently as his best team filed into the room.</p>
<p>“So...what’s up?”</p>
<p>He hid a smile as Jack questioned him and spoke with his customary bluntness.
“There have been reports that the Goa’uld have taken an increased
interest in a planet called Arda.”</p>
<p>“Do we have the address, sir?” Samantha asked.</p>
<p>“We do. The gate has recently been uncovered; they’re preparing
to send a probe through as we speak.”</p>
<p>“What is the Goa’uld’s interest?” Teal’c
enquired.</p>
<p>“Unknown at this time,” General Hammond replied, “but
whatever it is, I don’t want the Goa’uld getting their hands
on it.”</p>

the Ranger said soothingly to the magnificent horse as he patted its neck.
“All is well.”</p>
<p>“Well, I do not know about your horse, <a href="#" title="Translation: my friend" onClick="return false">mellon
nín</a>, but after having the ground move under me I would not be
so inclined to accept your assurances that the world was fine.” The
humour-laced melodious voice caused Strider to look over his shoulder at
the elf that had accompanied him on this trip. “Though you are <a href="#" title="Translation: human" onClick="return false">adan</a>,
so perhaps having the ground move is perfectly normal.”</p>
<p>“This from the elf that can balance in the most storm shook tree
in Arda?” Strider returned with a chuckle, causing Legolas to laugh
from where he stood stroking his own horse’s neck.</p>
<p>“That is no great feat,” Legolas replied</p>
<p>“Not for a wood elf,” Strider returned, before becoming serious
again. “If these fellows have calmed down we should go see whether
that tremor destabilised anything.”</p>
<p>“Strider, who, bar insane Rangers, even travel out this far?”</p>
<p>“Well us insane Rangers would like to know if the terrain has changed
before stumbling across it one dark night,” Strider answered smiling
back at his friend.</p>
<p>“Very well, let us go update your Ranger map,” Legolas replied,
chuckling.</p><br />
