A/N: This is the prologue of the story I was working on when I should have been writing the new chapter of NLK. Sorry, but sometimes ideas get a mind of their own and needed to get this on paper (so to speak) to clear my head. Unfortunately, it only made space for chapter 1 and part of chapter 2 of this story. I won't be posting anymore of this until my other story is finished (which it will be).
Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate
They thought we were prepared.
It was known since the first US soldier was kidnapped through the gate that the Stargate represented a huge threat; one that couldn't be ignored. They wanted to shut it down, bury the gate. It worked for the Egyptians, it should work for us too. But it was too late. The damage was done.
Two men looked to each other, thoughts running parallel. "I have an idea."
They sent ships.
The United States has the ability to send missiles anywhere in the world. Any ship that attempted to destroy us from the air could be shot down in minutes, they said. We can handle any threat, they said. Four people argued themselves hoarse to deaf ears.
From orbit, safe out of our range, two huge motherships brought the world down around us.
