711 Evolution 1
Minor Goa'ulds continued to fall as Anubis swept through the galaxy in conquest. There was an air of desperation as the SGC and their allies frantically grasped for technology to fight him. Word had come back to the SGC that Anubis had a new weapon. His land troops were no longer only the faithful Jaffa, he had one stronger and more lethal, he had a super soldier.
Anubis learned of the symbiote poison, this and the rebellion among the Jaffa made his success problematic if he relied totally on the Jaffa. They were vulnerable in body, and have become weak in spirit and belief in the gods. Anubis' scientist Toth had developed the super soldier, grown in their labs. It was single minded on its mission and loyal to Anubis alone, to whom they owed their existence. It was equipped with most advanced armor and weapons. It was the Kull Warrior.
Bra'tac and Teal'c escaped death by the hand of this super soldier. They thought they had brought it down but in truth it died unexpectedly of natural causes. They brought the body back to the SGC to be studied. This new foot soldier was fused into its energy absorbing armor. Its genetically engineered body had oversized organs for endurance but no possibility of a long life. And most disturbing was, it was grown and then, at maturity, animated by technology similar to the sarcophagus.
It was thought that to learn more about these super soldiers they needed to catch one alive. This proved to be a tall order. The Goa'uld Ramius escaped the last known Kull warrior attack and it was thought that he would still be a target. O'Neill and Carter, as well as other SG teams, and Teal'c and Bra'tac and other Rebel Jaffa set up various traps on the path between Ramius' Stargate and his palace. When the Kull warrior emerged from the wormhole it was not contained by the force field, it was not slowed by darts filled with sedatives, claymores did not stop it, neither did C-4, nor a hail of bullets. They threw everything at it and it walked on to its intended target. However, the teams from Earth as well as the Rebel Jaffa were forced to surrender to and were imprisoned by an overwhelming force of Ramius' Jaffa. They were imprisoned and only freed when the Kull warrior succeeded in its mission, slaughtering the god and all who would defend him.
There was still the problem of capturing the super soldier. Using a Tel'tak they scooped up the Kull warrior with the rings and evacuated all life support from the compartment. It was brought back to the SGC where a memory device was used to ascertain the location of its home world, Tartarus, the source of these aborations.
Meanwhile Daniel Jackson and Bill Lee were sent to find an ancient artifact once thought of as a healing device by the Ancients, the object behind the tales of the fountain of youth and most probably the technology that led to the development of the sarcophagus and that which animated the Kull warriors. It was deemed too powerful for humans and therefore destructive. Sam Carter thought it could possibly be developed into a healing device as well as a weapon desired by the Tok'ra to bring down the Kull Warriors. This artifact appropriated by Telchak, too, had been sought many years ago by Daniel's grandfather; he believed it to be deep in the forested land, once ruled by Chac, on the border of Honduras and Nicaragua.
Jack thought this mission to Central America was ideal for Daniel. It was archaeology and would piggyback on research his grandfather had done. And in Jack's eyes, since Daniel has returned, he was now both different and yet the same. He was no longer the soft, mild mannered archaeologist; he was seasoned, tough and well muscled. He was still the peacemaker, the thoughtful diplomate but Daniel could defend himself and succeed in a mission.
No sooner did they find the object than they were abducted by Honduran rebels. And soon thereafter ransom demands were made for the two scientists. Somehow the leader of the band managed to turn on the device and it lived up to its reputation driving men to madness and addiction and most problematic, reanimation.
