The Unexpected Visitor

The stargate gave a loud wush as the wormhole stabilised, within a few seconds the men of SG-3 stepped onto the ramp.

"Wormhole disengaged"

"Any luck?" General Hammond asked from the observation room microphone, SG-3 shook their heads, "Very well, briefing at 0200 hours"

The briefing was yet another blow to SG-1, not only had SG-3 failed to make contact with Thor but nobody on Cimmeria had heard of anyone called the Furlings or Sondra/Sondré.

"I don't suppose you have any good new do you?" Jack finally asked irritably, General Hammond turned to him with a frown, "If you have any ideas Jack then feel free to share them. You're not the only one who wants to find them, the president himself has taken an interest in our attempt to make an alliance with both these races and I can't very well turn around and tell him we can't, that could be disastrous for this complex."

"I understand sir" Jack nodded, a little shocked at the stakes, "But it seems to me that we are going to have to wait for the Asgard"

Hammond nodded, "Any luck with finding out more about the Furlings Dr Jackson?"

Daniel shook his head, "No, the text is difficult to translate, it's not in any language I know, and I can't find any direct mention of them in Earth history"

Jack narrowed his eyes, "Direct?"

"Well, yes, but that might just mean we gave them another name or that they were here before writing was invented"

The room waited, Jack got annoyed, "Any ideas?" he ventured, Daniel looked puzzled, "Maybe, I looked into Norse mythology, the people who Thor looked after. And I found some reference to semi-divine beings so I cross referenced it with other culture and they seem to show up quite a bit."

Hammond nodded, cutting Jack off, "And if we're to assume these are the Furlings, what next"

Daniel shook his head; "I have no idea" the room sat in silence for a few minuets.

A white beam of light entered from the ceiling to the floor, as quickly as it came it went and standing their was a small, grey alien with wide, dark eyes.

Hammond and SG-3 looked unnerved, "Do I have to call security Colonel?"

"No sir!" Sam said standing up, "General, SG-3, this is Thor, Thor this is the general and SG-3" Thor nodded in their direction and continued to gaze at each of the rooms occupance in turn.

"So" Jack began resting his hands on the table, "What you doing here, erm…Thor?"

Thor slowly turned his gaze to him and began to speak, "Upon arrival to your planets gravitational orbit we received word from the fleet at Cimmeria that you wished to speak to us"

Jack looked at the others, "Yes, we did. Erm, if you don't mind me asking, what were you doing here before you got the message?"

Thor blinked, "Traveling to the Onapa system, we rest in you gravity field and study for a while" Jack blinked a few times before shaking his head and looking the the other members of his team.

Sam lent forwards, "Thor, what can you tell us about the Furlings?" Thor stared at her, eyes wide, "Very little I am afraid, Captain Carter. We lost contact with them a very long time ago. They used to live on Earth before the Gau'old came"

"Thor, do you know what our ancestors called them?" Daniel asked quickly, as though it were a major brainwave he was afraid of losing, Thor was silent for a while, "I believe you fathers called them Ljósálfar and their enemies Svartálfar, why do you ask?"

Daniel was silent so Sam answered, "We found ruins a few thousand years old containg a language of the Furlings"

Thor nodded, " I see. I am afraid I must now take my leave. I wish you luck with your search, we will speak again" he then disappeared within the white beam that had brought him.

"Alright!" Jack exclaimed ignoring the General and looking straight at Daniel, "What was he on about" Daniel came out of his daze, "I'm not sure, Ljósálfar is old Norse for light-elves and Svartálfar is old Norse for dark-elves"

"Did I ever tell you how much I hate a cliché?"


Myths wise, this is as accurate as i know and believe me I love myths and have no life!

Oh, it's also as accurate as possible language wise as well.
