Chapter 1: The Search for Dr. Jackson
Riley sat down at his computer to find Dr. Daniel Jackson. He had already found the few articles that Daniel had written. He had even found the research that Emily had been talking about. But no one in the archeological community had any clue on where Dr. Jackson had disappeared to. One thing Reilly was sure of, Dr. Jackson wasn't dead.
In the end, Riley took a chance and he started hacking into various government databases to find the information he sought. Finally, he managed to find some classified documents that might have some relevance. It took him a little while, but he hacked into the air force database. There he found what he was looking for.
"Ben, I think I've got something. It says here that Dr. Jackson is a civilian who is consulting for the Air Force. I found the payroll records."
"What would an archeologist be doing working for the United States Air Force?" replied Ben.
"Dr. Daniel Jackson has earned three P.H.D.'s--archeology, anthropology, and philology. Wow, smart man," spouted off Riley
"Where can we find Daniel Jackson?" Ben said as he looked over Riley shoulder.
"Well, his file is all blacked out--which means he is probably in with some pretty classified stuff. I always had a suspicion, besides the fact that I believe Area 51 exists, that there was something below NORAD." Riley said excitedly.
"NORAD? You mean Colorado?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, Colorado Springs to be exact."
"Reilly, see if you can hack into NORAD and see if there is anything linking it to Dr. Jackson..."
"Yeah, I'll get that as soon as I can." Riley interrupted sarcastically.
Riley, I know you can do this." Ben said, confidence in his voice.
"Let's go do some digging then, shall we!"
Meanwhile at Stargate Command
Daniel was sitting in his lab staring very intently at a new tablet that SG-5 had picked up on P62-4X on their most recent mission. The tablet definitely had Goa'uld writing on it, but it also contained Mayan symbols as well.
This was very interesting to Daniel because that would mean that at one point a Mayan ruler had taken his people to another world and finding out what the tablet said was Daniel's main priority right now. SG-1 was on stand down for a week because Teal'c was off visiting Ry'ac and Ishta.
As Daniel was researching on his computer he noticed something that wasn't right. Just then Sam walked into the lab.
"Hey Sam, I need you to take a look at something."
"Sure, what's up?"
"I was just translating this tablet when I noticed this." Daniel pointed to the computer screen. On the screen was something that Sam had only seen one other time.
"Let me take a look."Sam scooted over Daniel over to look at the computer records. "This is very odd. I developed this program after the incident with Colonel Simmons to alert us if anyone tried to get into the base computer and our personnel files again."
"Can you figure out who it is?" Daniel asked.
"They are definitely not on the base." Sam tapped away at the keyboard."Better yet, they aren't even in the state."
"Why would they even try to hack in? I mean what are they after?"
"I don't know Daniel." Sam was determined, "But I'm going to find out."
----------
"I got it!" Riley exclaimed excitedly. "Our mysterious Dr. Jackson works for the Air Force, but he also works for a very top secret program called Stargate Command."
"What is Stargate Command?" Ben asked.
"It looks like in 1928 an alien piece of technology was discovered near the Great Pyramids in Giza. This device, from what the files say, sends people thousands, maybe even millions of light years away from earth to travel to other planets."
"Well that's interesting." Said Abigail.
"That's not the best part. It looks like Dr. Jackson just recently acquired a tablet that looks remarkably like ours." Riley drew in a breath. "But the best part is that he lives in Colorado Springs and I have his address."
"We need to talk to Dr. Jackson and see if he can help us figure out those symbols."Ben said.
"Well," Abigail smiled in excitement. "I guess we're off to Colorado."
