The story is leading up to when the stargate is being used on a regular basis, all dates and times have come from the original spader/russell movie, happy reading, hope you like it, bacardi.
FEEDBACK: Please leave feedback, It would be nice to know what you think :-).
All conversation by our other worldly friends are in italic.

Just a Matter of Time and Mind
I've had what most people affectionately call the sixth sense from as long I could remember, although my abilities are more than just seeing and talking with the long since passed. My best friends are a long time dead their names, well, they;re Kowalski and Nephritis. I do have other abilities I'm not going to go into detail just as yet but sometimes I am able to see little snippets of the past and near future, not always a gift I might add.
I've been well aware of the Stargate for quite some time now, I must have picked up on it when I met Catherine Langford outside Dr Daniel Jackson's lecture about the Pyramids a while ago. For days after I saw men excitedly digging in the dessert, Catherine and her father looking on as the cover stones of the Stargate were unearthed and when the gate was raised upright, I saw the look of shock and wonderment on their faces when they found the fossilised Jaffa, the year was 1928 and the location was Giza, Egypt.
I watched as the gate was eventually taken to the military installation of Creek Mountain, Colorado and as Catherine and her team tried to decipher it, she had gone to see Daniel to pull him in on the project, some new blood as it were, and sure enough he cracked the code in just 14 days, both Nephritis and I were impressed with his abilities to learn so quickly.
My mind skips ahead and they are showing Daniel the gate, Colonel O'Neil has entered into the picture now, a troubled soul, I feel for him, no one should have to bury their child under any circumstance. I see Daniel identify the seventh symbol and then my mind jumps to them going through the gate and winding up in the Kalium Galaxy on a planet named Abydos.
I can't help but laugh as Daniel winds up married and O'Neil winds up with Skaa'ra nipping around his ankles, I think he's starting to get quite attached to that lad. Then everything jumps backward, I'm suddenly in the North African Dessert 8000bc watching a ship land, a boy is taken ( I later learn from Nephritis that I saw Ra's host before he was taken as a slave), I'm back with O'Neil and the rest of the team moments later, there's an uprising, the people are fighting against Ra ( De Ja Vous, didn't that happen here as well?).
The bomb that O'Neil had brought with him can not be switched off, both he and Daniel say " I have an idea " simultaneously and give Ra a present that he will never have time to forget.
Daniel has deciphered the glyphs and the team are going home, but he has decided to stay with his new family, it is nice to see everyone happy and at peace with themselves for once.
It was a while before I had anymore visions( as Nephritis calls them), the gate has been opened again ( why did they move it to Cheyenne Mountain anyway? ), I see O'Neill throwing a box of tissues through the gate and moments later I couldn't help but laugh when It's returned, " thanks send more ".
General Hammond is in charge now and has sent the original team through to Abydos to get Daniel, they explain to him about the man with glowing eyes that surprised the SGC not so long ago but Daniel states it can't possibly be Ra, the man must have come from some place else. Daniel shows O'Neill the address room that he found on Abydos and I watch in horror as Daniels wife is taken along with Skaa'ra. It is not long after that that they all decide to return Earth ready to go to war.
" They don't know what they are getting themselves into " Nephritis says
" Tell me more " I ask her.
" Well there isn't really much to tell, they are a race that are called Goa'uld, they resemble what you would call an snake I suppose or possibly an eel, they can not survive outside of water unless they have a host to reside in " Nephritis told me with a hint of sadness in her voice.
" So they're parasites " I say aloud, shocked at what I have just heard.
" Yes, in effect that is exactly what they are. A while ago they started impersonating Tauri Gods, Ra, Apophis, Hathor etc and they took many from your world as slaves, I used to be host to one that broke from their ranks, her name was Egeria. Both Egeria and her offspring are called Tok'ra and It was with Egeria's help that the people of the Tauri banished Ra and buried the Chaapa'ai 10,000 years ago" Nephritis told my proudly
" Chaapa'ai ? " I asked her confused, I have never heard the word before.
" The stargate, that is what many of the people who use the system call it ", She explained.
" Would it not be a good idea to make contact with the Tok'ra? I mean if It's going to get that bad we could use the help couldn't we " I asked my friend, slightly more worried than I had started out.
" Would they really see the difference between the two races? " she asked me in a matter of fact tone of voice that I have come to expect as part of the norm around here.
" They would if it was spelled out to them in idiot proof English " I reply, even I can not believe that our defenders could be so useless at being human.
" You would have to make contact with them " Nephritis notified me with that knowing smile of hers, she know's that I like to keep myself to myself and having to make contact and letting them know what I can do makes me terrified out of my mind.
" Yes but that can be done without telling them who or where I am " I state, but who am I trying to convice? Nephritis, or myself.
" We will need to attract their attention, or they will think you insane " My friend mused aloud
" That's easy I'll just give them the Chaapa'ai 101 from past to present, that should get their attention, especially if I use names and dates don't you think? " I asked with a hopeful smile planted firmly on my face.
" You know this just might work my friend " Nephritis stated, laughing at my forced grin.
There was a pause in conversation as we both thought about how to proceed, I do so hate silence, things tend to happen when everything falls silent.
" So, you were a Queen eh ? " I ask my friend, I have to admit I am very impressed.
" I was " She replied proudly
" Sweet " I say to her and she smiles at me as I make our first contact with the SGC.
