Author's Notes: To continue my mission to bring Stargate Down Under I bring you another story, better idea where this one is going. It will contain references to Trace Elements so you'd be best to read it first. Any Aussie slang will be featured in the glossary at the end.

Disclaimer: I own Fiona, Alex, nameless technician and storyline. All else is borrowed.

Fiona Cole ran up the stairs and into Mainframe Control.

What the crap happened? She yelled. Departure Section was in chaos, teams running everywhere.

I don't know. The safety shielding didn't respond to commands! The technician answered just as irate, fingers flying across the keyboard. Swearing in as many languages she knew, which wasn't many, Fiona broke the glass on the emergency box in Mainframe Control and pulled out the zats and grenades.

How many got through? She asked throwing weaponry around to various personnel in the room.

Ten, max. Alex Philips responded. We got four maybe five in the first wave. The others got loose. If they make the fence we're screwed. Spinning grey eyes flashing Fiona spoke to the Technician.

Do we have that thing electrified?

No, power circuits were irreparably damaged during the power surge that accompanied the incoming wormhole. The same grey eyes narrowed.

How did you get the shielding closed?

The safety protocols are set to divert all back up power to close that shielding to prevent further attack. The government designed the system Fiona, we got it at clearance auction. Fiona sighed, it figured. Quickly barking orders her troops dispersed, they had to neutralise the Goa'uld threat before it reached the perimeter.

Three bodies hauled themselves up and over the high chain link fencing. They had been underestimated, gold eyes flashing in the pitch black they hit the ground on the opposite side running.

Well, this has been begucked up royally. Fiona said. We got two, so we've got say three Goa'uld running around outer western Queensland. Fanstatic. Get me the files.

Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, I had to recall you because there's been an incident in Australia. It appears they managed to get their hands on a Stargate. Two mouths in front of the General hung open. Major Carter found her voice first.



Unsure Major, all we know is they have a trio of minor Goa'uld running around loose. I can't locate Dr. Jackson or Teal'c. I know this is supposed to be downtime but this must be handled. You're to head over and meet Alex Philips, he'll take you to the head of their program Fiona Cole. You'll have to be careful, the program isn't government run.

Jack exclaimed. Sam glanced at him eyes wide.

Colonel, take the file. Need I remind you how urgent this is. There's transportation waiting for you at the airport. Take the equipment there and contact me upon your arrival. The pair stood briskly and nodded. They were heading back.

Hey on the upside we can get some more Jaffas Carter.... Sam rolled her eyes as they headed to the surface.
