"Is it ready yet?"
"We're going live in three, two, one, General."
"Hi there George, hows the weather?"
"Well its uncloudy and bright here Jack but I believe you're
about to change all that."
"Sorry about that George can't be helped. I've got SG-1 here
with me, all lined up to say hello, and we've also got Professor
Heslop with us, temporary secondment from the scary Lake. Walters
here in a minute making capacity, he'll wire you a hard copy as
soon as.."
"Heloo people, very nice to see you all. I'm hoping we're
going to be able to find a way to neutralise General O'Neill's worst
fears. What have we got so far?"
"Good morning Sir, its lovely to see you."
"Likewise Colonel. General O'Neill, General Greer, Major Davis
and myself have been discussing your Interim P7X 377 Fact Finding
Mission Report."
"What do you think Sir?"
"Interesting. Several interesting things Colonel Carter. A
decision has been made in accord with General O'Neill's concerns
and we are now elevating the status of the Base to Ready Status,
DEFCON Four."
"Yes Sir, I understand General. General O'Neill notified his
senior staff at O seven fifteen hundred hours. We have a Directional
assembly later in the day."
"I see Doctor Jackson and Teal'c are there with yoou, and
hello to yoou too Eamon, its been a long time."
"Okay folks lets get down to it. Firstly George, you're aware
we're awaiting the Skullduggery and the Nebulium home world Statements."
"Yes Jack and lets hope together they're going to deliver
us a defensive capability."
"Hope so General. Right then Daniel, floors yours."
It was ten o'clock in the morning. General O'Neill had spent the
previous evening at the home of his friend General George Hammond.
It had been his second trip to Washington, D.C. in almost as many
days. The Meeting between the Generals, O'Neill, Hammond and Greer
had produced the unprecedented tactic of pre-emptive defence against
an unknown enemy. It was left to General O'Neill to determine the
nature of the defence.
"Well first off I'd just like to say hi, its really good
to see you General, you're looking well."
"You too son. And I'm sure everything will work out just fine."
"Thank you General, that means a lot. Okay. Quetezalcoatl.
We've come across something, humanoid as far as we can tell, occupying
the pyramid on P7X 377, in an out of phase environment. Its.. ..they've
been hibernating for over a fourteen hundred years. If not, then
we have to beg the question, what have they been eating in an environment
non conducive to vegetation. That's where it starts to get a bit
gruesome. Sam!"
"Thanks Daniel. General, General. Sirs we've contacted all
our allies, most have gotten back to us, with negatives. However
we are still waiting to hear from the Asgard. Teal'c believes the
Asgard are simply not talking. For reasons Daniel will go into a
little later, we can tie two of the Great Races, the Asgard and
the Ancients, as well as the Goa'uld to the 'Mayan Pyramid'.
As yet my father's not been able to get anything out of the Minor
Goa'uld except to say there is recognition of the Nebulium foe.
The one Minor Goa'uld hes certain knows something of the Nebulium
is entirely reluctant to disclose a single detail. Hes working on
it. Apparently it's a very sore subject."
"Yeah Carter on that one, Thor's still out of town, still,
but I've left my name and number and he will get back to me."
"Yes Sir."
"Colonel Carter you think the Asgard know these Nebulium?"
"General the Asgard use holographic projection technology,
seems the Nebulium do as well. A sharing of similar technology usually
suggests a crossing of paths at some stage. In addition to which,
as Daniel will brief you, we've found text references as well as
Runic markings with Asgard orthology."
"I See."
"Daniel, Quetezalcoatl?"
"Thanks Sam. Generals. Okay we've managed to dig up, so to
speak, a lot of information from the little we initially had to
go on. I think a suitable ground to consolidate to is Quetezacoatl,
the name, the meaning and the man.. ..humanoid we think. The Nebulium
we're sure."
"Go on."
"Thanks Jack. Okay Quetezalcoatl a well know g_d amongst the
Mesoamerican classic pantheon. Its got to be one of the longest
names I know."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Oh apart from one of his other names, avatars, Tlahuixcalpantecuhtli"
"So how many letters is that?"
"Don't know err.. ..twenty one.
"Ah not even close Daniel."
"Whats that Jack?"
"supercalerfradgerlisticexpiallerdoscious."
"Longer? Is that even a real word."
"You betcha."
Daniel was giggling. Colonel Carter and Teal'c sat open mouthed
listening to the exchange. You could tell General Hammond would
have told Jack off, if only he wasn't so far away. Professor Heslop
found it real funny.
"Fascinating gentlemen, Daniel, General, however, when you're
ready please."
"Go ahead Colonel."
"Thank you Sir."
"Professor Heslop's provided us with a low down on the various
avatars attributed to Quetezalcoatl. Professor."
"Thank you Doctor Carter. Its long been accepted in ancient
Mesoamerican mythology that extraterrestrial g_ds came down to earth
to exert their power and influence over man. Its not an altogether
stretch of the imagination to find ourselves with an ambitious extraterrestrial
who having familiarised himself with local custom could then used
that custom to acquire all that he needed. Be that need worship,
riches, and as seems the case in this instance, a slave population."
"Déjà vu."
"You agree Eamon, with Doctor Jackson's conclusions?"
"I do George, wholeheartedly. The young Doctor's examined
every aspect of this project and his conclusions appear sound."
"Very good, that's just swell, we're making headway. Its not
usual to have more than one scientist agreeing at the same time."
Everyone in the Briefing Room laughed including Major Davis who
was just in screen, far left.
"References to Quetezalcoatl are extremely frequent in the
codices we have been studying, additionally the name is to be found
in Sumerian, Atlantian, Egyptian and Peruvian texts. Mr Teal'c would
you be so kind to read off my notes."
"Indeed Professor Heslop. Yes I will. Quetzalcoatl. Gukumatz.
Nine Wind. Nine Snake. Kukulcan. Kulkulcan. Ehecatl. Tlahuixcalpantecuhtli
and Ce Actal.
"Good grief Teal'c, all these names belong to one g_d and
you say no ones talking. Someones got to know something."
"Yes General Hammond, your postulation is accurate. And to
that end General O'Neill and Jacob Carter are conspiring to make
someone talk."
"Very good son."
"Thank you General Hammond."
"Now then, a particular Quetzalcoatl manifestation, one in
which Doctor Jackson has been eager to pursue is that of Ce Actal,
the Morning Star, aka Venus, interestingly here we have a g_d of
the dawn and Venus as the morning star. Doctor Jackson?"
"Thank you Professor. So now as well as the general consensus
that extra terrestrials were brought down, beamed down to Earth,
with the Nebulium we have more astronomical and cosmological associations.
Venus was considered to be the patron planet of warfare. People
believed light from Venus could cause terrible harm. In short the
ancient Mesoamericans were greatly influenced by observable celestial
events."
"So how come the bad light from Venus Daniel? Light, you can
see, even when its dark, but bad light, that's not something you
can observe, unless of course we're talking meteor showers, pretty
lights in the sky but we all know how bad and harmful they can be."
"Right Jack. Bad light but not meteors, which leads us to
believe that this particular bad light was nothing at all to do
with the planet Venus, but all to do with the threat from Quetezalcoatl."
"The Harvesting of Human slaves."
"Without a doubt Sam."
"Doctor Jackson are you referring to bad light emanating from
the Crystal Skulls? You believed the people were cottoning on to
the Skulls as a teleportation device.. ..a harvesting device?"
"Yep. That's it General."
"The locals had worked out that the g_dly icons, the Skulls,
were some form of quantum teleportation unit. I guess knowing that
they'd have a lot to be afraid of. Especially when the things start
to fire up, all bright lights and glowy. Do you think Venus was
the name they gave to the Skulls?"
"I never considered that Jack but it really fits the bill."
"The text references to Venus could support your observation
General O'Neill."
"Really? That makes sense does it Professor?"
"Yes it makes an awful lot of sense to me."
"O'Neill, it is understandable that once having discovered
the true nature of the Skulls, the population would indeed come
to fear their presence."
"Mr Teal'c you have something there. We do know the Mesoamericans
built but later abandoned a great many majestic pyramids. There
was a specific pyramid, the pyramid of the sun, built in Ce Actal's..
..Quetezalcoatl's honour, however that too was duly abandoned. The
Skulls were doubtless placed in the pyramids."
"Which supports your theory George, the locals cottoned on
and split. Are we all agreeing on this"
Oh yes, everyone was agreeing with the General. But what was next,
because these fluffy floaty friendly enemy of our enemies were rapidly
becoming, sneaky, calculating, lying, kidnapping, extra galactic
fishy foes and good gad Ossiferous, what had they been living off
for the last fourteen hundred years.. ..stuck in a pyramid and with
no late night shopping!
"Okay Daniel, Teal'c, Professor Heslop, tie in the Asgard
and the Ancients. You can go first though Carter, with the Goa'uld."
"General. Sirs. Professor. Teal'c can we just hear Professors
Heslop's notes on the Goa'uld connection."
"Yes Colonel Carter, I have them here. Quetezalcoatl literally
means Quetzal-bird-snake. Coatl in the old Olmec language means
serpent. Taken per se we have, serpent with feathers of the quetzal
bird."
"There you go again with that deuced snake bother. I can sniff
a Goa'uld lurking somewhere here."
"Indeed O'Neill, Professor Helop's notations provide alternative,
proven names, Feathered Serpent, Winged Serpent. Feathered Snake."
"Feathered hey, well I suppose they do have an elaborate arrangement
of fin work. Flying fins.. ..feathered snake."
"Yes, quite."
"Right then, wings, feathers, it slithers, it slides, we've
got a snake and it flies. A flying feathered snake. Doesn't that
tell us something, have we got ourselves a smoky cloudy phasing
Goa'uld roaming the pyramid?"
"Erm, maybe not exactly Sir."
"Yeah Jack, maybe at one time definitely, not sure about the
phasing bit though, unless it was Annubis, doubt it. Anyway it seems
that the Goa'uld have long since flown the coop."
"Are you saying the flying snake bird flew away Doctor Jackson?"
"Eh, the snake fled General but not with feathers and not
with wings. From what Teal'c and Sam have come up with, it transpires
the Nebulium were experimenting on the Goa'uld. We've recovered
skeletons from the pyramid and Sam informs me their condition was
tantamount to having endured physical and chemical trauma in keeping
with prolonged experimentation."
"To what end? Was it something like the Pangaron episode?"
"It was not General Hammond. We speculate that the Nebulium
were interested in the Goa'uld ability to occupy the human body
over an extended period. It is this ability alone that has afforded
them an existence of unlimited power. Defeating all who oppose them
and enslaving whole worlds to appease themselves. In their natural
snake form they would be able to do none of these things."
"Yeah, good point T, they wouldn't be able to talk either,
that'd be nice."
"Jack?"
"Oh sorry George, thinking out loud. So you're saying snakes
in the Mayan Pyramid?"
"Yes Sir but something went wrong because we end up with a
badly corroded, but nevertheless evident, half etched symbol of
korosh-Ni on the outside entrance to the pyramid. Teal'c, Daniel
and Professor Heslop have now translated the Goa'uld glyphs set
close to the Goa'uld warning symbol."
"Yeah that's right Sam we've come up with a list of what we
can only guess are names. The interesting thing here is that taken
by itself you can't pronounce the names but when Professor Heslop
applied a particular Isthmian character, the same one in all cases,
we've come up with a list of nine names."
"Daniel any idea of whose names they are?"
"Not a clue Jack but Professor Heslop has mentioned that there
are nine levels of the underworld. By the way, when Jack and I found
Nick in the Smithsonian he was repeating the name of the underworld.
Xibalbah."
"An addendum I'd like to mention. I have failed to enter one,
possibly significant, detail in my notes. In Xibalbah, the underworld,
one g_d was assigned to each of its nine levels."
"Well that's a curious coincidence. Lets hear those names,
see if we recognise anyone."
"Of course General O'Neill, if Mr Teal'c could do the honours."
"Thank you Professor. Kuuslel. Ingsa Vas. Nscek Khying. Na
Dthu. Janganah. Colingg. Gensa Vas. Chengisa. Ou Nee."
"Anyone?"
No one. No comment. Not a jot. A new faction, living in a niquadria
weighted atmosphere, possibly named after levels of the underworld.
Known, non mobis. Allies, non nobis. Enemies, non nobis, as yet.
"Goa'uld?"
"Highly unlikely Sir. Daniel's Chronology Statement specifies
a date on those glyphs of at least two thousand years before the
symbol of Korosh-Ni."
"What about those Xi'Linvris?"
"Jack are those the ones without the naquadah content?"
"That's right General. A known faction as Teal'c describes
them, whats left of them, but they are the only ones we know about
up to now without the naquadah."
"I'd still say a no on that Sir."
"Okay Colonel. Teal'c, if those names are scribed in Goa'uld..
..letters, mainly Goa'uld, and then a Goa'uld warning symbol is
later placed next to those names, do ya think the warning applies
to the names as well as the place?"
"Indeed I do O'Neill. This would also account for the symbol
being placed so high above the ground. So it can also draw attention
to the names."
"Nebulium?"
"Don't think so Jack, they seem to be going for the more influential
names."
"Gotcha. Another set of Goa'uld enemies in.. ..or out, of
the pyramid."
"Doctor Jackson do you think this could be an entirely different
group? Colonel Carter's Interim Report stated that apart from the
Nebulium the presence of other.. ..beings, either human or humanoid
is inconclusive."
"Yes General these names do indicate that, but still as yet
inconclusive, on going Sir. Em, I can say though that expounders
of the Archaics, Isthmians and Olmecs claimed the dead souls who
went to Xibalbah or Mictlan, the underworld, returned to Earth every
so often."
"How often?"
"No records of that General."
"I see, thank you."
"Carter, draw conclusions if you will."
"Sir. Professor Heslops provided us with the fact that Mesoamerican
cultures held the belief that certain g_ds were carried down from
the heavens to Earth within the vessel of a great serpent. We are
supposing that that is a metaphor for the attempted either blending
or experimentation of the Goa'uld by the Nebulium. Searching for
a better vessel, a longer lasting body possession.
From that we then have the surveillance of the outer pyramid structure,
revealing a partly etched petrogylph of the symbol of Korosh-Ni.
Indicating the end of relations between the Nebulium and the Goa'uld.
Daniel's date approximation is mid first millennium. Moving us on
to conclude three things..
One. The Nebulium were in contact with human civilisation and the
Goa'uld, during the three thousand years up to but not exceeding
600 Common Era. Two. At some point before that time, approx. 400
CE, Gao'uld symbioses blended with human slaves and fled P7X 377.
In addition, three, the fact that there is evidence of a symbol
of Korosh-Ni indicates that whilst the Goa'uld were almost certainly
in contact with the Nebulium that contact was soured and unwilling
on the part of the Goa'uld. They became firm enemies."
"Jack, could these Nebulium have intended to team up with
the Goa'uld?"
"Well it sure looks that way, but then something went wrong.
That'd be right though, making deals with the Goa'uld 'll only get
ya dead. Must have been the experiments, obviously did take to kindly
to it."
"I agree with that Sir. Lastly, less of a conclusion and more
of an observation, is the fact that the Nebulium kidnapped whole
populations over time. These people were enslaved, never to be seen
again. Sergeant Siler's video footage showed a total lack of surface
water resources. And studies carried out inside the pyramid proves
no sustainable development. The observation is that the captured
humans would have to eat to survive, as would the Nebulium.."
"Begad Carter, imagery! Inspiring terror an'all."
"Sir we have to examine all the possibilities."
"Yes we do Colonel. Even the unimaginable ones."
"Yes Sir."
"Colonel Carter that's a supposition we will not draw on until
we have proof."
"Of course Sir. Moving on if I may Sirs?"
"Sure, carry on Colonel."
"Thank you Sir. Okay Daniel I think the Generals want the
Asgard and the Ancients next."
"Theres much erroneous interpretation in relation to the g_ds,
extra terrestrials, who came down from the sky. Luckily Professor
Heslop has identified the material directly relevant to our current
knowledge of precisely what can and can not.. ..come down from the
sky.
"Em, the Sun Pyramid, the one dedicated to Quetezalcoatl on
Earth. A number of theorists are ascribing it as the work of the
last of the Atlantians. Others say it's the work of the lost tribes
of Israel. Yet others have it as Egyptian, we have however certified
that its not Goa'uld. The Phoenicians are mentioned and so are the
ancient Orientals."
"So basically what you're saying is they don't have a clue
who built it?"
"Yep Jack that's it. Theres no deeds on the place. But we
do have an identical outer structure intact as in the P7X 377 pyramid.
So we now believe that the texts regarding the Quetezalcoatl pyramid
on Earth to be true."
"Whoa there Daniel, slow down. For all of us in this room
and those in another room far from here and in a sunny place, lets
have that again, because I'm sure you just said no one knows who
built the place."
"Yeah I did. Oh yeah, sorry about that. I should put it in
another way. The fact that there is no false information, no misinfo
on the pyramid leads on to the conclusions we've made on the issue
at hand."
"Pray do tell."
"Thanks Jack. Erh Professor would you mind."
"Delighted dear boy. Thank you Doctor Jackson. As my colleague
informs you, we take the basis of the next issue to be as fact.
However there is no record of the interpretation we offer since
no one before has ever been privy to the informational knowledge
archives housed here at The SGC.
We are able to take ancient records, verbal and textual, and apply
our SGC knowledge base, thereby elucidating a plausible description
of events surrounding the Nebulium's occupation of the P7.. ..seven
et al pyramid. At a time approximately 400 common era.
I have not had the privilege of meeting the Asgard High Commander
Thor but I do know he is a good friend of yours General O'Neill.
Perhaps when you speak to him next you can confirm our theories."
"I'll do that Professor. Its been suggested the Asgard are
being slow in giving us their take on this situation but just as
soon as he gets back to me I'll let you know, you can meet him if
you like."
"That would be the highlight of my year General, thank you.
As Doctor Jackson outlined earlier, the Mesoamerican Sub-Boreal
period yields the first signs of static social living. All the peoples
before that time were nomadic, the Archaics and the Paleo Indians
before them.
The Sub-Atlantic period commencing later, say 2700 BCE provides
real signs of society. It also provides the means for a predatory
foe such as the Nebulium, to abduct members of that society on a
regular basis.
Now with the formation of a stable society comes a method of written
communication, firstly through pictures, later in their development
we have the glyphs and later still we find the written word. 400
BCE was a time when the Mesoamerican written word was used.
We therefore have accurate records of the following. A story, legend
of two brothers, twins, Xbalanque and Hunahpu. They defeated the
evil enemy leaving the Earth safe and fit for humankind.
The significance of this is that these twins are said to have ascended
into the heavens, the records go on to say that the twins became
the sun and the moon, that could well be based on unseen celestial
events."
"Yeah a number of things could account for that belief. The
ships could have looked like a dark round.. ..globe, something moonlike.
The propulsion systems must have released massive fire sparkage,
glowing like a sun.. But the essence of the story is the hero twins."
"And?"
"And Jack.. ..the Asgard and Ancients, one or the other ..possibly
both. They are part of the same alliance."
"Daniel all the members of the four Great Races are Non interventionists."
"Well we know that's what they are now.. ..but Sam, someone
dropped by and from all accounts dealt with the Nebulium, sent them
packing. It was round about the time of the collapse of the great
Mayan civilisation."
"Carter even non interventionists are gonna feel forced to
do something, intervene perhaps, if they see an entire peaceful
race being decimated. Maybe just two of the four decided not to
sit back and doing nothing. The Asgard I can understand but whys
your money on the Ancients Daniel?"
"Well you know how you recognised the holographic technology
of the Asgard, and by the way we've found some Asgard lettering
at the P7X 377 pyramid, haven't verified the Asgard put it there
though. Anyway the Ancients phase shift, just like the Nebulium,
well not exactly like them but it's a method of getting around.
From our experiences phasing is something that can be learnt."
"Doctor Jackson you believe one learnt the ability from the
other?"
"I think so. Very similar abilities, what sets them apart
is that the Nebulium are confined, due to their atmospheric requirements.
Jury's still out on that General but I think so. Oh as well, we've
eliminated the Nox."
"Understandable. Hey what about the Furlings."
"Whether they would ever intervene is something we simply
can't assess."
"Daniel do you think the Nebulium could be the Furlings?"
"Colonel Carter, it was a practice among some ancient civilisations
for rulers and high priests to take on the name of a deity. In this
way we rationalised that the alien Nebulium acquired the name Quetezalcoatl
and was not the g_d Quetezalcoatl himself.
We had initial concerns regarding the Furlings. The SGC still has
virtually no inkle as to their identity, however we do have one
crucial piece of detail. On PB2-908 where Daniel Jackson asserts
the Ancient Alliance of four great races took place, each of the
four scribed a wall of text in their own language. We therefore
have some evidence of Furling presence, a presence of which we have
been unable to detect at the P7X 377 pyramid. We do not believe
these Nebulium beings are the Furling. We do however believe the
Furlings to be a powerful and peaceful race. And Non interventionists."
"Thanks Teal'c, that sounds about right."
"Thank you Mr Teal'c. there is one final linkage to other
powerful races and the Nebulium. One we assume describes the exodus
of the Goa'uld from the pyramid on P7X 377. A legend exists, in
fact it is well documented that Quetezalcoatl was exiled by yet
another g_d. He was sent into exile on a raft of snakes vowing to
return for revenge."
"The Goa'uld shipped them off."
"That matches the legend perfectly General O'Neill. Exiled
could imply that the Goa'uld hunted the many systems in search of
the Crystal Skulls and destroyed all they found. That would some
what cut the Nebulium off, a type of exile."
"And the revenge, Eamon?"
"George we can only conjecture but that does appear to be
something they have not, as yet, taken."
"What I'm hearin' is that this enemy is looking to take revenge,
against the Goa'uld?"
"Revenge has many faces General Hammond."
"Yes it does son, and non of them nice."
"Indeed."
"Yes Indeed.. ..they're vengeful and awake. I don't like this
George, really don't."
"I'm with you Jack. We need to act."
"That we do. Professor, anything else?"
"A fair amount General O'Neill. As you can see Colonel Carter's
made an excellent presentation in the Mission Report."
"Always a good read Carter, thanks."
"Sir."
"General O'Neill, the other part of the linkage between the
Nebulium and other.. ..extra terrestrials, is just this. The codices
talk of another deity, Ahmakiq, who would lock up, restrain, the
wind, Nine Wind, Quetezalcoatl, when he was causing to much destruction."
"As in a foul wind a blowing."
"Vile and foul General O'Neill. Which gives us a third extra
terrestrial opposing the Nebulium."
"Teal'c, ideas?"
"Not the Nox and not the Furling O'Neill, but more than likely
the Asgard."
"Not the Ancients?"
"No. A wind force against a wind force although creating much
resistance would cause no restraint."
"That sounds reasonable Mr Teal'c."
"Thank you for your confidence Professor Heslop."
"Professor I think we have one last link. Not local legend
but according to Norse mythology, Asgard, the place of the g_ds,
could be entered by a rainbow, by travelling a rainbow."
"Eh not linking Daniel, at least to P7X 377."
"Asgard transporter technology."
"Yeah Sam, transporter process. From a distance it certainly
could appear to be a rainbow, especially to uneducated older civilisations."
"And the link?"
"General O'Neill please allow me to clarify. I should have
been more specific. The link is in the description of the hero twins
ascending to the heavens. The bright lights, rainbow, can be attributed
to both the Ancient's method of ascending and also to the Asgard
method of transportion."
"Clearly a link then."
"Jack we've always suspected the Asgard had been responsible
for helping us out in the ancient past."
"True George, and I don't know how but they definitely have.
They refuse to discuss these matters. But it seems we've now got
something to pin on them."
"It sounds as though the Asgard are enemies of the Nebulium."
"Wasn't those the exact same words the Queticoti giant came
out with when we first met."
"Indeed O'Neill, 'the enemy of my.."
"I think we jumped the gun by presuming they we're talking
about the Goa'uld."
"Sir you mean only the Goa'uld, sounds like they've chalked
up quite a number of enemies."
"And Nick's proof they've added us to the list Carter."
"Yes Sir."
"Regarding the Nebulium home world Colonel Carter, do we have
anything at this stage?"
"Yes we do Sir. We're following a dichotomy of interests.
Tracing the Stella co-ordinates is a time consuming process but
we are covering a lot of ground. Sergeant Harriman has been extremely
helpful in that area. The search will be completed within eighteen
hours.
Secondly we are exploring the possibility of lifting StarGate addresses
from the markings on the pyramid. To that end Sir we made a tremendous
break through early this morning.
Briefly General the background is, the full details of which appear
in the Mission Report General O'Neill gave to you, markings could
be seen on two of the pyramid masonry blocks, front, ground level.
At first we suspected they were just groves in the rock but high
resolution has revealed them to be a series of bars and dots. We
now know from Professor Heslop that the Olmecs introduced a numeric
system for recording dates.
The break through came when Professor Heslop informed us that the
Olmecs did not employ any of the available systems but rather went
for a vigesimal system. It's a twenty base system Sir.
Using this information we are now in the process of deciphering
what appears to be a seven, eight or even nine digit recording.
I think General, Sirs, we may actually be looking at a StarGate
address. An extra-galactic StarGate address."
"You could have discovered the Nebulium's home address?"
"We're hoping so Sir. In context with the nature of the other
glyphs, signs and symbols scattered around the pyramid, its very
likely."
"Excellent show Colonel, keep it up."
"Thank you Sir."
"Well I think that about wraps it up for now. Good to see
you Davis. Drop by any time."
"Thank you General. After today's Briefing I expect I'll be
taking you up on your offer fairly soon. Thank you Colonel Carter,
Teal'c, Doctor Jackson. Professor Heslop, have a good trip back
to Area 51."
Major Davis left the room and the General's aides withdrew leaving
General Hammond alone and on air.
"Professor you'll be joining us for lunch before you leave?"
"That will be my pleasure, thank you."
Professor Heslop and Walter left the Briefing Room, leaving SG-1
alone with General O'Neill and General Hammond.
"Right, now that we're altogether, Colonel I understand you've
had one heck of an experience this week?"
"Yes Sir. I'm still reeling from it. Have you read the Report
Sir."
"General O'Neill relayed the gist to me."
"Theres only one Report floating around, lets keep it that
way Carter."
"Yes Sir, thank you. Very grateful."
"So Colonel it seems you and your Team have placed a good
deal of stock in your.. ..Report."
"General Hammond Sir, because the contents of my.. ..experience
so closely relate to the current P7X 377 situation, we've fully
investigated all the.. ..messages, for want of a better word. Sir
what these Canopic g_ds told me has actually transpired into a handle
on the Nebulium rising."
"I believe so. In fact General O'Neill has let me know that
it was on account of your.. ..Report that we where in a position
to stand at DEFCON Four, giving us at least a degree of readiness."
"Yes Sir, I'm actually delighted about that. I don't mean
being on alert."
"Its alright Colonel, I know what you mean. Where do we go
from here Jack?"
"Well George as you know two of the essential aspects of SG-1s
extensive P7X 377 Fact Finding Mission are yet to be fulfilled.
