General George Hammond sat at his desk absentmindedly flipping through the report in front of him. He had so many thoughts running through his head that it was hard to concentrate on one piece at a time. There was the fact that aliens had arrived through the Stargate and killed several of his people before kidnapping another. A fact that he had been assured should be impossible.
And then there was the seemingly unrelated event that occurred on August 4th, 1969. The day he committed treason and helped four suspected Soviet spies escape from military custody; based solely on a note he had written to himself.
His attention slowly drifted back to the report in front of him. Contained in its pages was the unbelievable tale of a mission to another world, one where parasitic life forms apparently sought to enslave humanity.
He knew these were only a few pieces of a much larger puzzle. Luckily, he had been given a key to figuring it all out. It was one of the reasons he had agreed to this seemingly dead-end post buried deep beneath a mountain in Colorado.
There was one common factor tying this convoluted string of events together: Colonel Jack O'Neill. Once he had seen that name on the reports of the mission to Abydos, he just knew he couldn't refuse the position. Of course, he couldn't help but notice the irony that he had ended up back where this had all started: Cheyenne Mountain. He was destined to be involved with the Stargate, wherever that may lead him. Finally, after nearly three decades of waiting, he hoped he would start to understand what had been set in motion so many years ago.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come," he called out. The door opened to reveal Major Samuels standing next to a familiar looking man. Which was odd considering this was supposed to be the first time the two had met.
"General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill," Samuels announced.
But he had barely heard the introduction. He knew exactly who this man was. It was a slightly surreal experience. The colonel looked almost exactly the same as he had when he had last seen him. Right before the man had pointed that strange weapon at him and knocked him unconscious.
But that was in the past. And right now he had a major situation to deal with, namely finding out why the Stargate was active again. He had already waited this long, he could wait a little longer. Sooner or later events would come full circle. And he would have his answers.
