Chapter 1: The Pyramid
Now in the Briefing Room, we see Colonel Jack O'Neil, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c sitting down as General Hammond enters the room. "So Major," he says as he sits down, "What can you tell me before I authorize the mission."
"Well sir," she says, "As you know the Planet is what we call Mars. Now the information the MALP gave us is that the Stargate is in what seems to be a Pyramid."
"Is it of Goa'uld?"
"No sir, There is a written language in there that, according to Teal'c, Is not of any Goa'uld dialect, but it looks like some Rings were later installed to the roof suggest that the Goa'uld probably made Mars the way it is today. Now I looked at some classified Mars pictures from NASA, and it looks like there are more Pyramids. I guess NASA didn't want this to go public."
"Alright, well I think y'all should know that both NASA and Russia want their astronauts to be the first to walk on Mars."
"Oh goodie," said Jack remembering all the past problems they've had with Russia.
"So you will be accompanied with NASA and Russian astronauts that will be the first to go through. We will also be recording it by MALP, so that when the SGC is revealed to the public we can show the public the first men that walk on Mars, Dismissed."

Now in the Gateroom two astronauts, from both NASA and Russia, SG-1, and General Hammond had just entered the room as we here the sound of the inner ring of the Stargate moving. All but General Hammond are wearing spacesuits.
"Welcome to the SGC," said Hammond to the astronauts, "I'm General Hammond this is Colonel Jack O'Neil, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c."
"Chevron 1 encoded," said the Technician.
"And this of course is the Stargate."
"I'm Dr. Allen Brown and this is Walter Ingram," said one of the US astronauts.
"Chevron 2 encoded," said the Technician.
"This is very impressive. I read all y'alls' mission reports on the way here. Y'all have been through a lot."
"Chevron 3 is encoded."
"Yes we have," said Jack, "And y'all are?" he asks to the Russians.
"I am Leo Tchaikovsky and this is Professor Anton Dostoevsky," said one of the Russians.
"Chevron 4 encoded," said the Technician.
"Well, I hope you've decided who's going to step through the Stargate first."
"I was thinking about, maybe, drawing straws," said Jack.
"Chevron 5 encoded," said the Technicians.
"If we don't go first…" said Leo.
"You'll what," said Jack, "You don't have a DHD or even a Stargate any more. You have no hold over us."
"Chevron 6 encoded," said the Technician.
"Just because y'all needed us, to solve your problems with Teal'c getting trapped in the Stargate, and y'alls gate being destroyed."
"Chevron 7 Locked."
They look to the Stargate as it activates.
"Wormhole established."
"Why don't y'all go at the same time as our astronauts and SG-1 will follow," said Hammond.
"MALP is in position."
"Fine!" says Leo as he and the others put on their helmets and the astronauts head through the Stargate.
"Another day, another Cold War," said Jack as he and the rest of the team go up the ramp and through the Event Horizon.

Now on Mars Walter and Leo are preparing to plant their nations' flags, Daniel and Allen are studying the writings, Cater and Anton look around the pyramid doing smart people things, Teal'c is helping Daniel and Sam with anything that is Gou'ald, and Jack looks outside preparing the MALP to record the flag planting.
Carter continues to dig around 'til she finds something. "Hey Allen," she said, "Take a look at this skull."
"Whoa!" said Anton, "It has one eye socket."
"We should take this back with us."
"I agree."
Back outside O'Neil is walking around and as he gets to the top of a sand dune, and then gets a weird look on his face. "Crap," said Jack as he turns on his radio, "Ah, Houston…we have a problem."
SG-1 appear next to him and they look wide eyed at a giant sphere that looks like the Death Star off Star Wars still under construction, sitting on a building.
"That isn't what I think it is? Is it?" said Jack
