"And how long is this trip going to take?"

Daniel sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.  "Look, the Asgard weren't specific about what they wanted, only asked that Jack or General Landry come along.  It's only a few days to Orilla, a few days there, then home again.  A week, Vala, maybe two."

"I'll go crazy," the dark-haired woman declared.  "There's nothing to do!"

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Daniel answered, packing another translation project.  "Something that doesn't involve harassing me."

"You're no fun," she sulked. "I'm telling you, I'll go crazy."
