Stargate Adventures

Chapter 1: Help

Stargate Command received SG-1's IDC and opened the iris. SG-1 stumbled through the gate, Carter and Teal'c carrying the comatose body of O'Neill on their shoulders.

"Get a medical team down here immediately." Hammond ordered, clearly concerned about the slumped over, unconscious O'Neill. "What happened Major?"

"Colonel O'Neill stuck his head in a repository of knowledge to stop Anubis from finding out the location of the Lost City sir." replied Carter, holding O'Neill up with the aid of Teal'c

Two medics come rushing into the gate room with a stretcher. O'Neill is placed on it and taken to the infirmary.

"Debrief in ten minutes. Go get yourselves cleaned up." Hammond began walking up to the control room. "Get me a cup of coffee please" he requested as he walked by a young lieutenant.

SG-1 went and got cleaned up and quickly informed the general of what happened on P2X-439.

"What do you suggest we do now?" asked Hammond glancing from one member to another.

"Well sir, in the next few days the Colonel will probably start 'Going Ancient' again. When this happens he may be able to point us in the way of the Lost City." Daniel replied knowledgeably. Carter looked uneasy.

"Sir, I think we should contact the Asgard immediately. They will need to remove the repository from his brain if he is to survive and they may be able to analyse it and locate a gate address for this Lost City once they do." Carter suggested, glaring at Daniel for his suggestion. Daniel looked embarrassed but nodded in agreement.

"I agree." Hammond said nodding. "Remember the Asgard are heavily involved in their war with the Replicators. It may not be possible for them to attend to this matter and this time."

"I understand General. But they are in debt to us. Maybe they could help us on this with the Anubis' attack on earth imminent." Carter retorted.

"Very well." Hammond said picking up sheets. "Contact the Asgard Major and inform me of any developments. Dismissed." Hammond got up from his chair with bringing some papers and his coffee with him and retired to his office.

"Sam, you do realise the importance of this knowledge. If the Asgard are unable to find the whereabouts of the Lost City all hope may be lost. You know as well as I that the Asgard can't afford to lend us any assistance at this time. This could be the end." Daniel informed, raising his eyebrows in the process.

"I know it's a risk Daniel." Carter acknowledged. "But we can't risk losing Colonel O'Neill again."

"I understand."

The team exited the briefing room. Teal'c retreated to his quarters to meditate while Daniel returned to his office to try and gather more knowledge from his writing about the Ancients and their City. In the meantime Carter contacted the Asgard.

"Fear not Major Carter. Help is on the way."

Bra'tac crawled up from his hiding spot. He had received an anonymous tip that Anubis was gathering his forces on what was known to the Jaffa as being "Anubis' World."

The veteran Jaffa had travelled alone by cargo ship, in an attempt to measure the firepower Anubis' had at his disposal. His fleet consisted of 10 Ha'tak's, over 80 Al'kesh and Dead Gliders and the feared flagship of Anubis.

Bra'tac knew that the Tau'ri would be in trouble whenever Anubis decided to attack. He retreated to his cloaked cargo ship and returned to P3C-249, where the Jaffa Rebellion was now established.

He must warn the Tau'ri at once.

Thor, General Hammond and SG-1 sit in briefing room at SGC.

"Thor, that's not going to be enough," Argued Carter. "We don't have the defences at our disposal to defend Earth."

"Three Bilskirnir class vessels is all that we can offer," replied Thor, as calm as ever. "However, now that we have downloaded the knowledge from O'Neill's mind we may be able to find advanced technology to defeat both the Goa'uld and the Replicators."

The room sat in silence. O'Neill had spent the duration of the meeting fiddling with his pen while Teal'c and Daniel sat in silence, listening to Carter and Thor while trying to think of a plan.

"How long do you think it will take to find the location of this Lost City?" inquired General Hammond as he leaned foward with interest.

"As soon as we begin work it shouldn't take long." Thor insisted. "I request permission to take SG-1 with me General." Thor rose from his seat.

"You have a go." Replied Hammond, rising from his chair. "Keep me informed."

With that SG-1 and Thor were beamed onto Thor's ship. Once onboard Carter and Thor began going through the data while O'Neill and Daniel began readying weapons and gear required for the mission if they found a gate address.

Back on Earth, President Hayes had contacted world leaders and they had assembled at the SGC, ready to depart for the Alpha Site.

Hammond had been busy also, readying a small group of soldiers, scientists and doctors, just in case SG-1 had succeeded in finding a gate address. Among these were Rodney McKay, Major John Sheppard, Dr Jennifer Keller, Radek Zelenka, Major Evan Lorne and a dozen other USAF soldiers. Also among this group was Bra'tac, as he had arrived through the Stargate to warn the Tau'ri of the strength of Anubis' fleet.

Bra'tac had briefed the General on the strength of Anubis and when offered the chance to join the team, he couldn't resist.

It was all down to SG-1 and the Asgard now.

"Got it," Carter shouted as her face lit with excitement. "It seems to be an eight symbol address, could you translate this piece please Daniel? It might give us some more information." Daniel got up from his sitting position. He had dozed off out of pure boredom, but now a look of excitement emerged on his face as he leapt up and lightly jogged over to the control console, an evident spring in his step.
