"Well, we need to get to it first, which is the hard bit." He wants to tug Seth along because they really, really should get moving again but he doesn't think Seth would react too well to that considering Daniel just aimed a gun at his chest. Brilliant deduction there, Jackson. He takes a few steps forward, hoping this will prompt Seth enough to get him walking again.

"I can draw their attention, it's not a big deal." Yes, casually murdering a couple dozen individuals isn't a big deal, clearly. Daniel wonders what kind of awful first impression he's making before realizing that, evidently, this isn't the first impression he's made. Which is confusing. Moving on. "Your job will be to get to the pedestal in front of the gate, looks sorta round and has a bunch of symbols on it. I'll show you the ones you hit to dial Earth."

And here's where it gets complicated. Well. More complicated.

"The important bit: you can't go through right away. You do not go through until I say, understand? I have to input the right code so we don't die the minute we step through." He has to make an effort to slow down to make sure Seth gets all of it and not go at his usual breakneck pace. "Transfer itself takes about oh-point-three seconds, it's just the setup we have to be careful about."
