Depending on how quickly she falls asleep she will get at least some. She's woken up when it's still dark by Ronon nudging her arm. "Shhh, I think I heard something you need to be awake. Stay quiet."

Jenna was managing to doze or something along those lines. She hasn't been woken up like that before so it's a bit of a shock and also she's not in her bed so she's confused and worried for a moment but then she remembers. It wasn't a dream. She doesn't shout or anything but it's a close thing. "What's going on," she whispers, as quiet as she can.

"I'm not sure. I heard something rustling though and maybe the sound of voices. There's no animals on this planet so they must have come through the ring. It's probably not wraith but we should be careful."

Permalink

If it's not wraith, it could be new companions? Still, she doesn't know anything about how anything works here, and she'll defer to his expertise for the moment. (Though if she can, it might be a good idea to encourage him to make friends. But better to be careful for the moment.)

"Do you want to hide here or come with me as I go look?"

On the one hand, she can handle herself in a fight, and she doesn't want to lose her friend (and potential kissing friend stop it Jenna) as soon as she's made him, having him die while she stays in the safety of the cave and then she mourns his loss for the rest of her life. On the other hand, it's much safer here, and there are people here with guns, and people with green skin and claws that could tear her to pieces or do whatever creepy thing that... no, she shouldn't be letting that get in her way. She's on an adventure and has magical powers. She opens her mouth to say that she should come with him and... oh wait. "If you're going to be sneaking," she whispers, "I'm probably not very good at that yet, though I'm sure I'll pick it up quickly. But if that's a problem I should stay here." Even though she really really doesn't want to. (Except for all the ways in which she really really does. But besides that.)

He visibly considers this. "We should stick together. Watch where you put your feet and take each step carefully and slowly. If you can avoid stepping on leaves and twigs."

Permalink

She nods silently in agreement. There's not a lot of light at the moment, but there is moonlight, and hopefully she'll learn fast. 

Permalink

"You should bring your bag, I don't know if it will be safe to come back."

Permalink

She hadn't thought of that. (This is what friends are for! Imagine leaving all of her tastes of home this behind or even worse imagine leaving the notebook behind. Thank goodness he knows to warn her.) "Right," she whispers. She goes and puts it on her back. "Thanks. Lead the way."

He walks much more slowly this time since stealth is a priority. He whispers a few comments about places she should avoid that aren't covered by his initial summary.

Eventually, they come up towards some people moving much more loudly through the forest. He signals for her to crouch down.

There's a woman who's slightly taller than her.

Permalink

And a man a bit shorter than Ronon. They're both carrying guns that look a bit more like the ones she's seen on TV. They have flashlights mounted to their guns and are shining them around as they slowly move through the forest.

Permalink

It's hard to see in the dark, but are those Earth weapons? Like, machine guns from Earth? They couldn't be, Earth is somewhere else. They do look like the same sort of black plastic thing that she's seen in movies and tv shows though her mom doesn't like it when she watches that sort of thing so she's only mostly managed it when she's not home or with friends, but these don't look the same as any guns she's seen before on tv. They seem to have similar technology to earth, though. Maybe the technology here is on par with her own? She hadn't expected that. 

Regardless, she stays as quiet as she can (she's picked up some things about being stealthy already but she's clearly not as good as Ronon yet and if there's people moving around with flashlights it's probably best to be really really quiet and still) and follows Ronon's lead.

Ronon gestures to move back a little and does so himself while drawing his gun.

Permalink

The strangers play their flashlights around and one of the beams is about to be pointed right at them.

Permalink

Jenna wants to tell him to put his weapon down, these people are definitely armed but they might not be dangerous (okay they're probably dangerous they look well trained but hostile, that's the thing, they might not be hostile) but she doesn't trust herself to make a noise to tell him not to.

And then when the light gets close to them, Jenna, not wanting to be seen, ducks instinctually, trying to stay out of their sight. 

Unfortunately, in doing so, she takes a step back, and steps on what is clearly an exceptionally loud twig. 

Permalink

They start to react but Ronon is faster. His gun fires with a pulse of bright red something with a sizzly noise and then another right after and both of the strangers are on the ground unmoving.

Permalink

Oh no no no no no no no. "Did you you just kill them?" she asks, worried. "They might not have hurt us, I didn't meant to make a noise, they didn't have to die, they didn't, I'm sorry," no no no no no no, she can't have made people die, by accident, why did she think this was a good idea, oh no...

Permalink

"They're just unconscious. Calm down, there could be more of them."

Permalink

Oh. Oh. They're just stunned. They were just knocked unconscious with his sci-fi gun (she needs to think harder about how how good technology is here because she was clearly wrong about it before) and not killed. Though now of course if there are more of them like he said they could see their unconscious friends and think that they're dead and then try to kill Jenna and Ronon and then more bad things will happen and she doesn't want any of that. But she also doesn't want their friends to be alerted to them so she does her best to calm down like he said she should do (they could have been dead!!!) and wait and see what happens. Ronon is the expert here. The scary, slightly trigger-happy (though it just knocked them out so it's okay) expert. 

Permalink

He waits for her to calm down and then he walks over to the fallen strangers. He picks up one of their guns, briefly examines it and then does a few things with it and pulls two things out of it. Then he repeats it with the other one. He slings the guns by their shoulder straps over his shoulder and then he picks up both strangers the man over his shoulder and the woman in his arms and gestures with his head before starting to walk back in the direction of the cave.

What... what is he doing? (Also wow he's strong. Really strong. Incredibly strong. Okay, staring at muscles later, caring about what he's doing now.) "What are you doing?" she hisses, as he starts walking off, trying to be quiet but also confused and concerned. There's no reason to pick these people up and take them with them... right? 

Permalink

"Taking them back to the cave. We can ask how many more of them are around when they wake up."

Permalink

"They're going to be really upset when they wake up though. And if they have friends they might be mad too. Shouldn't we... I don't know..." she trails off. What even should they do. Apologize? What if they really are dangerous and are also mad about being knocked out and then attack her and Ronon. And they can't just leave them there either they wake up and also be mad. Maybe this is the best plan, to take them back and wake them up gently and find out what they know? No, it can't be, but she's not sure but there must be something better than watching him carry two entire people (stop that Jenna!) back to the cave and then wake them up there, right?
