PROLOGUE
The members of SG-1 were all seated in the briefing room, discussing their new mission. Jack and Daniel were seated to the right of General Hammond and Teal'c was seated to the far left from the general. Samantha Carter stood in the front, showing footage from a planet they had sent a MALP through.
"We redialed P7X-247 this morning and sent a MALP through soon afterwards," Sam said. She pointed to the video, to get the attention of her team.
All that could be seen was snow. All that could be seen was pure, white, snow, glittering back at them. There were no mountains, it was flat land. The snow came down heavily.
Sam continued, "We thought that it was only snow on P7X-247 until we sent SG-12 through the Stargate."
"SG-12?" Colonel Jack O'Neill interrupted, as usual.
"We were unsure if it was safe to send SG-1 through. There's no way to tell if there are any wild animals," Carter continued. "What they found was very interesting." A smile crept on her face; she seemed excited and pleased all at the same time.
Photographs of a large building were passed out. The top reached over forty-five feet; it looked to be constructed out of silver and steel. There were foreign symbols covering one side. The one side looked like a door that would possibly swing backwards. The top of the building was flat. Snow rested at the top and around it; it nestled in the area.
"Did they happen to enter it?" Jack asked, tossed a photo over to Teal'c.
"They couldn't figure out how to open it," Sam sighed.
Teal'c's usual frown became more prominent as he stared at the writing on the building.
"What is it, T?" Jack asked.
"I have seen these symbols before."
"Yeah, it is familiar," Daniel Jackson jumped in.
Teal'c looked up, "I have seen it in Jaffa stories of a great race who killed a Goa'uld system lord."
"You mean we're not the only ones to have killed system lords?" Jack said sarcastically, acting surprised. He threw his hands in the air. "Phishah!"
The Jaffa cocked and eyebrow at Jack's show. "They used to be Tauri."
"What do you mean, used to be?" Sam asked, her curiosity growing by each moment. She walked slowly over to the table to be included in this discussion.
"They were genetically altered."
"By Nerti?" Daniel asked, not surprised.
"No," Teal'c said, now surprising Daniel and the rest of the team.
"But Nerti was present, she learned some of Callisto's tricks but did not master it," Teal'c explained.
"Callisto," Daniel thought. "Used to be human...but ate from the tree of the gods."
"Greek mythology," Sam remembered.
Jack stared for a moment and also remembered something. "Oh! I saw that one on Xena: Warrior Princess!"
Daniel glared at him and went back to the photographs.
"So how dangerous is this mission?" General Hammond asked.
Teal'c responded, "They are a myth. They were thought to be Haktor, but they fooled Callisto and became more."
"Whoa! Haktor? Aren't those things Goa'uld super toys?" Jack blurted.
"Haktor are a myth, they were never successfully created," Daniel pointed out.
"That's what Nerti tried to make those people--," Sam began.
Jack waved his hand, cutting her off. Jack thought, How could he forget those mutated humans? Nerti had promised them so much, but they all would have died had SG-1 not came there in time. She also changed Jonas's DNA and later on he momentarily could see the future. Scary stuff. That all also reminded Jack that Jonas and his Kelownan friends would be coming in a couple of days to work on relations with Earth. Jack missed the geek.
"When do we head out?" Jack asked, impatient.
"0700 hours," Hammond replied. "Take SG-12 with you."
"Explosives too?" destructive Jack added.
Hammond nodded, and then added, "Be careful."
