-AN: I know that I took Scully back to being a little skeptical about the life out there but it's the only way I can write her.

Antarctica

Mulder and Scully looked at each other and then just stared at the pyramid for a few minutes before either of them moved. "The gunmen got that picture from a MILSAT transmission? How do we know that this isn't a classified experiment, Mulder?" Scully asked as they were sliding down the snowy ice wall.

Mulder looked at her then continued walking. "Scully look at the crater we are in. This could only be created from an object that fell from an extremely great height. Then look at the walls, the scorches could only be created by high heat friction. This was not built on this planet."

Scully just stared at her husband. After everything she had seen and experienced first hand it was still difficult to admit if only to herself that life did exist in the furthest reaches of the universe. They got to the nearest wall where they got their next shock."Mulder, if this wasn't built on Earth then explain how these hieroglyphics got on it."

Mulder bent down to examine them more closely. "You know about seven years ago I ran across a book by an archaeologist named Daniel Jackson,"

"Why were you looking at books by archaeologists?" Interrupted Scully.

"I was about to tell you." Mulder started rubbing his hand over the hieroglyphics and continued, "Anyway, this Dr. Jackson, put forth a theory that the pyramids of Egypt weren't built by the ancient Egyptians but by aliens."

Scully was looking as if it were Mulder and not Dr. Jackson who had gone completely nuts. "Mulder, where is this Dr. Jackson now?"

"Last that I had heard he dropped off the face of the earth the day after he was laughed off the stage of his last public address." That very moment the glyph Mulder had brushed his finger over turned and the wall slid up revealing a hall. Stunned into silence Mulder and Scully looked down the dark hall. Mulder reached into his pocket and pulled out two camp flashlights and handed one to Scully. She just raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure we should go in." Mulder shrugged then headed in. The moment they had crossed the threshold they discovered that the flashlights would not be needed, as the hall lit up automatically. Mulder and Sully both drew their side arms and proceeded down the gold hallway. They passed no more than seven doors on either side. The hall ended with a large door in front of them. As soon as they stepped in front of the door it opened automatically on an elevator. They stepped on board cautiously on the side there were nine triangles in a column the biggest in the center. Scully hit the center triangle causing the doors to close and the box to move up. The box stopped and opened on a hallway slightly shorter then the one before. They walked down and stopped next to the largest set of doors yet. They did not open automatically so they started to check the glyphs. Mulder let out a little "aha" as he found the same glyph that opened the main door. He tried to push it but it wouldn't budge so he turned it causing the doors to open on an expansive room.

"Scully what does this remind you of?" The room had a window in the front where they could look out on the white horizon. In the center of the room was a dais which seemed to be the control center of the room.

"This looks like the command center of a battle ship. Could this be an alien attack ship, Mulder?"

"Could be. Look out on the horizon." Mulder was looking out the window Coming closer were two Artic Cat Snowmobiles. "Looks like we have company." He turned away and was investigating what looked like a black tank while Scully was tracking the progress of the four people who just exited the artic cats. "AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHGH" Mulder's scream broke the silence of the room. Scully ran to him.

"Are you ok?" Yeah, I'm fine this thing must be electrified. I touched it and got a bad shock." Mulder was holding his hand to emphasize the fact, but there did not appear to be any dammage.

Arctic Cats

O'Neill looked at his watch and then at Col. Carter. "Thirty minutes huh?"

"Well sir, these aren't going as fast as I thought" Carter replied. O'Neill just grinned. "Look Sir we're almost there." O'Neill looked up from the file he had brought to review and grabbed a set of radio headphones.

"Daniel, T'ealc we're almost there. Get ready for anything." They stopped just short of the pyramid and piled out of the snowmobiles. T'ealc pointed to the side of the crater leading to the open door. "O'Neill we are not alone here." Jack looked where T'ealc was pointing and cocked his P-90.

"Ok kids lets move out." They headed to the open door.

Inside

Scully grabbed Mulder and steered him to the door. "Come on Mulder. The military is here we need to move." Mulder slowly shook his head stared around as if he didn't know where he was. His eyes suddenly cleared and started moving of his own volition. They got to the elevator but when they got there the doors opened and there stood SG-1. Each group raised their weapons and aimed them at each other. Cries of "Put your hands up, and your weapons down!" echoed up and down the hall. After a few tense minutes where neither group moved or said anything Scully spoke up, "I'm Special Agent Dana Scully and this is my partner Fox Mulder. I'm going to lower my gun and grab my credentials." Slowly she lowered her 40mm SIG and reached into her inside jacket pocket to pull out her ID. Daniel lowered his weapon and raised his hand to get SG-1 to do the same.

"What exactly are two agents of the F.B.I. doing in a military installation without proper clearance?" O'Neill asked.

"We head a section that investigates cases of the strange and unsolved. They're called the X-Files." explained Scully. So far Mulder had just been watching this in the background but finally spoke up. "So who are you, what exactly is this so called military installation and where is all the security, huh?"

O'Neill had been waiting for those questions. "We're representatives of the United States Air Force. I am Brigadier General Jack O'Neill, that's with two L's." Gesturing to the other three "This is Col. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Murray. As to this place, we're in a new biosphere where we can learn how to live on planets such as mars. That's where Dr. Jackson comes in. He has been leading this project and helping us in this endeavor. As to the security we have already evacuated the personal so that we can raze the place so that intruders don't break in. I guess we're to late for that."

"Biosphere huh. Well I guess we should be going and I apologize for coming where we don't belong." Scully was looking incredulously at Mulder as if she couldn't believe he was buying this obviously false story. "Come on Scully, lets go and leave these people to do their thing. The two groups swapped places in the elevator. Mulder pressed the button for the main level. Scully was still watching Mulder apprehensively.

"Are you alright Mulder?"

"Oh yeah I'm fine. I'm just ready to get back to Washington."
