Prolog:
SG-1 stepped out of the event horizon on R54X-133, followed closely by SGs 4 and 9. Colonel Jack O'Neill scanned the area for any hostile activity; this was the last known location of SG-19.
In spite of the tenseness of the situation he heard a female snicker to his left. Still checking out the area he frowned.
"Carter?"
"Look, Sir, no trees!"
And there weren't any trees, or bushes, or even grass, hell there wasn't even any dirt, just rocks as far as the eye could see.
"O'Neill, there appear to be numerous burns from staff weapons."
"They seem to concentrated around that cave over there. Martinez, you and your team are with us. Chang, your team will stay to secure the gate."
In well-practiced military style they covered each other while working their way to the mouth of the cave. On O'Neill's signal he and Martinez threw flash-bangs into the cave. Securing the cave, they found what appeared to four graves covered in stones. Each with a niche carved in the wall with what proved four sets of equipment and personal effects. Carved into the wall was a message, mostly in English.
"Am I the only one who thinks that this being in English is weird?" Jack asked.
They all agreed it was very strange. Jack started to read aloud while Sam and Daniel started to take pictures of the wall, graves, and surrounding area.
"Found on this planet, Earth date unknown, dead approximately one…help me out here Danny."
"Asguard."
"One Asguard day, Colonel Simon Silverstein, USMC; Major Debra Hastings, USMC; Master Sergeant David Running Fox, USMC; and Gunnery Sergeant Allen Jones, USMC; along with seventeen…"
"Jaffa, O'Neill."
"Seventeen Jaffa, including the…"
"First Prime."
"First Prime of Anubus. I used a…"
"Za'ni'katel."
"To dispose of the Jaffa. I took some weapons from the Jaffa and Marines along with a tent, sleeping bag and some MRE's. The MRE's being slightly betters that Asguard food. I took no personal items. I the Marines had an electronic device that I did not recognize the purpose of. So that it did not fall into enemy hands, in case it was important, I destroyed this devise. I would very much like to know what the hell members of the United States Military were doing so far from home. Does earth even have a…T?"
"Cha'pa'ai"
"And its signed V E M O. Anyone have any ideas who this Vemo is?"
"O'Neill, the electronic devise appears to be the GDO."
No one had any suggestions that that might be.
Jack stood frowning at the message.
"Is there something wrong Jack?'
"I don't know, Daniel, there seems to be something familiar about that name. I know I have never met anyone by that name, but it feels like I should recognize the damn thing."
"Sir, maybe something will come to your later."
"Maybe so, Carter, maybe so."
