Meanwhile, back at the negotiations...
"It is agreed!" announced Dirkah. He clapped his hands imperiously. "The naquada is yours, my friends. Now we have only to seal the pact according to tradition."
The entrance of the large tent was flung open and the music swelled as a crowd of heavily-draped figures danced their way in. The dancers swirled gracefully through the banquet hall, the only skin visible from graceful hands and coquettish eyes. As the music reached a crescendo, they peeled off into two lines across from each other and dropped their cloaks to reveal oiled, athletic, naked bodies.
"All right!" Blair exclaimed softly and Jim snorted and bounced an exotic fruit off his head. Teal'c sat there dignified, only his eyebrow expressing his agreement.
"Um." Daniel had a sinking feeling he knew where this was headed. "What is this tradition, exactly?"
Dirkah beamed genially. "It is the symbol of our agreement, the union of our peoples. It expresses the love between allies and brings us closer, so that we may never betray each other." He waved to the dancers. "Choose any of them and it will be well done. We welcome all here."
The SG-1 team studiously ignored the goat being dragged into the tent, tail frisking cheerfully. The dancers had their complete attention.
Beautiful, bosom-heaving maidens to the right. The team's eyes slid to the left. Slim, muscular lads flexing their pecs. Their eyes turned pleadingly on Daniel.
"No," said Daniel firmly. "This is supposed to be gen. Time for all that funny business later on."
The men sighed in disappointment and took one last longing look at the lusty opportunities lost to them, as Daniel began explaining quietly but firmly that unmarried sexual relations were taboo in their culture.
The room fell abruptly silent and Dirkah frowned furiously. A wave of his hand and suddenly there were many sharp, bristly weapons pointed in their direction. "I'm afraid we must insist."
The other members of SG-1 grinned and began hurriedly divesting themselves of their uniforms. Daniel realized he'd lost control of the gen and hoped Jack would understand when he read the mission report. With luck, the team wouldn't be too severely traumatized.
"Wahoo!" yelled Blair, as he leaped naked upon the nearest welcoming native and proceeded to seal the pact. Jim and Teal'c weren't far behind.
Right. He couldn't leave his men to suffer through this alone. After all, Daniel was in command.
