The generator complete, Sam, Daniel and Michael discussed how they were going to hook it up to the Stargate without being shot at. She suggested that maybe Sylvester could construct an electrical fence of some kind, which would protect them from an attack from outside, but not from above.
That night, Sylvester managed to sneak out of his house undetected, and he met them and Janet at the warehouse. Sam was wary about leaving two children by themselves but Sylvester assured her that he could divert any unwanted attention from them. Daniel asked her,
"Are you sure that Michael should come with us?"
"He won't tell a soul, and he really has to get some idea of what's out there."
She whispered, "He's not part of the programme in the future… that must say something."
"S… Alison, you can't change the future."
"We already have."
Sam and Sylvester connected the Stargate to the generator using various cables, while Daniel and Michael manually dialled an address. Michael asked,
"Isn't there an easier way to do this?"
"Oh there is… it's just that this particular device doesn't come with the easy part."
"Ah… everyone thinks that aliens have it all organised but they're just as bad as us humans."
Daniel chuckled and remarked, "Yeah, something like that."
He pulled the teenager out of the way when the seventh chevron locked and the unstable vortex shot out. Michael asked,
"What was that?"
Sam remarked with a grin, "That, Michael Johnson, was an unstable vortex. It's basically the energy left over after the wormhole forms…"
Michael, awed, touched the event horizon, whispering,
"Oh my God… this… this is beautiful… is it safe?"
Daniel replied, "Yes."
"Where are we going?"
Sam replied as she held the arms of both men, "A nice little place called Tollan."
She turned around and said, "Sylvester, Janet, are you sure that you're going to be ok?"
Janet nodded, staring at the active event horizon, and Sylvester replied, awed,
"Um, yes Ma'am… I mean Alison… When you go, I'm going to make an electrical fence. We'll be fine."
"Look after Janet."
"Ok."
The two members of SG-1 and the teenager walked through the event horizon, hoping that the Tollan would help them.
