Thought I'd put the newer part where people can find it easier.

*******

Jolinar laid awake, attempting to determine her whereabouts. Strange music played, and a dog barked in the distance. Otherwise, she couldn't hear anything. She got up and found the off button on a black box marked "compact disk digital audio" that displayed 6:02 on the front in green.

She cracked open the bedroom door to reveal a fluffy black mutt, who immediately began barking his head off. Behind him stretched a short, dark hallway, a few other wooden doors, and stairs. She whipped the door closed and looked for a crystal panel with which to activate the locking mechanism. When she realized that she was still on Earth with the Tau'ri technology, she was finally able to lock the primative thing.

With her back against the flimsy door, she glanced around the room, still trying to find evidence of her location. A frame on the wall proudly displayed "Friends Forever" over a photo of two smiling, young teenagers. A blue backpack rested on the floor beside a worn, black chair. A young one, she thought, drawing on her host's experience for the knowledge. Her parents will not be pleased. It is a pity that she seems to have vanished from here as I have from that "SGC."
