Chapter 1: Iris Failures

Teal'c had been practicing for three hours now going through his latest regiment. He had to keep practicing so as not to fall rusty while visiting all the other planets and being a leader to the Jaffa rebellion. While Teal'c was doing this General O'Neil, who had just recently arrived in the room watched. Teal'c didn't notice him for a little while so, at the end of one of his exercises, he spoke up.

"So what's new Teal'c?" General O'Neil asked. Teal'c turned around to see Jack standing in the doorway.

"Nothing much, O'Neil. I am just practicing to make sure I am not caught off guard." Teal'c responded.

"Well that doesn't seem to be working now can it considering that I was here for a minute or so." Jack said arrogantly.

"Yes, you're right. I was too engrossed in training to--" Teal'c tried to explain, but he was cut off by the alarm.

"Warning! Incoming wormhole!" it called out in the usual robotic voice. Both Teal'c and Jack ran out the door, for the control room.


Jack entered the control room and Teal'c followed right behind. "What's happening?" Jack asked.

"The gate has just activated." the private responded.

"Shut the iris." Jack responded back. The private quickly typed something in the computer, but the iris didn't close. "What's wrong?" Jack asked.

"I don't know, sir." the private responded with a hint of panic in his voice.

"Try again." Jack said. The private rapidly typed the same command again knowing that soon something would come through. When he finished, he looked up and stared at the gate as the iris stayed where it was. Then a disturbance in the quantum particles appeared. From it came a warrior of Anubis.

"I want to speak with Daniel Jackson." The warrior said. Then the men surrounding the gate began to fire. The sound of bullets leaving the barrels of the guns was heard all around the room as all the bullets bounced off of the warrior's armor. Then, the side door opened and a sergeant with the special modification to his gun formed the energy ball that shot forward, and hit the chest of the warrior but it had no effect. Just then, another solider came in and shot a Zat. It hit the warrior straight in the chest. The warrior fell to its knees. Another shot was fired, and it hit the armor as it fell to the ground. In the place of the warrior, was an ancient in energy form. The guns flew out of all the soldiers' hands and into the gate just before it shut down. The energy reformed itself into a naked human person. "I wish to speak with Daniel Jackson, now!" the ancient said obviously angered. "If this request is not complied with I will destroy this base before leaving."
