This is a story based on the SG-1 episode '2010'. There will be 11 short chapters each based on a year... basically what happened between 2000 and 2010, some things we didn't see and some things we did. And now - Chapter One!

2000

They had met the Aschen. They had achieved their ongoing goal of Stargate travel. They found a race that was going to save them, Earth. Ambassador Joe Faxon had just sealed the deal.

Jack found his way into Sam's lab that night. He sat down on her desk and picked up one of the doohickeys he found there and started to play with it. Sam quickly grabbed it from his hands. "Sir, please."

"Sorry Carter."

"I would just... appreciate it if you wait until I knew what it does before turning it on and blowing up the mountain."

"This little thing,"he pointed to the offending device Sam had placed back on the desk, "could blow up the mountain?"

"Well, we don't really know yet, do we Sir?"

He paused. "Good point," he said finally.

"Did you come down here to tell me to get a life again, sir?"

"No, though that still stands. I... have a bad feeling about these Aschen."

"They do seem too good to be true, don't they sir."

"See, that's not exactly it. They seem to have all the technology and... doohickeys to accomplish all of their claims. It's just... why? Why would they offer that to us, essentially free of charge?" He gestured wildly with his hands.

"Maybe they are just a generous and kind race. People like that must exist, right?"

"The vast, vast majority of... aliens we've met have been bent on galactic tion. It's hard to believe we found the one with everything we need."

"They're everything we need to achieve our mission objective, that part of it is true."

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "I guess you're right."

"We should just... accept that we've found exactly what we need."

"I still have a bad feeling about this."

"I know," she said softly.

Even though he knew she was trying to calm his fears, it just made them worse. They had even brainwashed Carter. And that thought scared him more that anything else about the Aschen.
