So when classifying where this story should go, it's fallen into a few categories for my stories.
This IS, I think in plot a MacGyver one, with SG-1, not SG-1 with an appearance, from MacGyver.
That's not to say there's not plenty of SG-1 elements to go around, because there's lots!
So it is, I think a true cross over.
THIS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED ON A03 and completed for a little while I thought it was time to put it on here
It's also vague enough to put the story at the end of season 8 and before season 9 starts of SG-1, where it fits in both my "behind these scenes" and our "bobbsey universe". Having said that you don't need to read any of them to enjoy this, only accept that Sam and Jack are together by the end of season 8 of SG-1 and recognise the unjustified reason they had to write out Maria Romberg in MacGyver (1985) was because all the female fans wanted to keep Mac single! ? ﾟﾤﾣ
I mean it's easier to fantasise that way I suppose! I absolutely love this fact!
So I hope you enjoy... as always comments are welcome but not necessary for you to enjoy it!
"Let's not forget what we know about the symbiote." The man at the head of the long board room table reminded the other men. "They are extremely strong-willed but can be tamed."
"The Tok'ra symbionts deliberately share power." The man to his left with dark eyes reminded them in a sneering voice.
"The Tok'ra are fooling themselves. Basically they are the same as the Goa'uld. Meaning if we find someone strong-willed enough, we can control the host and therefore the symbiont." The man with red hair sitting opposite the leader said.
"Nothing survives of the host." The fourth man with a long-pointed nose said.
"Everything survives. Look at Colonel Carter and General O'Neill-" Redhead said.
"One died and the other left-" Long-pointed noise argued.
"And what was left was Carter and O'Neill. And what about Jacob Carter-" the man at the head of the table said.
"That was a Tok'ra." Long-pointed nose interjected.
"Enough!" The head of the table demanded, banging a fist on the table. "We could go round and round in circles. We all know strong-willed people survive best with Goa'uld symbiotes." He took a deep breath before continuing. "With that in mind, let's not forget one of our main objectives is to take down General O'Neill. The man is a giant thorn in this organization's butt and is quickly gaining power himself. He's just gained his second star and is the new Head of Homeworld Security. In a few years, the man could have the power to track down and put an end to this entire organization. We need to take him down, now." He told the others. "Getting to him is now near impossible. And any direct attack on SG-1 is usually expected. They have the backing of whole SGC with them and he wins. We need a new plan so we need to change our assault pattern."
"How?" The Red head man asked.
"Meet Angus MacGyver." The man at the head of the table said flicking a switch, the white wall displaying an image of MacGyver.
"Wait, isn't that-?" Redhead started.
"No, this is Jack O'Neill's cousin. Striking family resemblance, huh?" The head of the table said. "Lunatic fringe runs in the family." He continued, pressing a button which launched the slide show with several pictures of Mac. "Angus MacGyver has recently come out of retirement when the head of the Phoenix Foundation died earlier this year."
"Wait? The Phoenix Foundation?" One man spoke who had been silent until now, his blue eyes going wide, recognising the name.
"A so-called think tank, which often cooperates with government agencies, particularly the police or intelligence community, with very high security access. MacGyver actually worked in Stargate Command as an independent contractor for a month four years ago and he knows about the program."
"What does Mr MacGyver have to do with the symbiote?"
"Read his file. Back in the eighties, Mr MacGyver, Jack Dalton, and Pete Thornton made an enemy of this man." He said, flicking the switch and another image appeared on the white wall. "A former HIT assassin. He was once labelled the deadliest, until his own downfall through his obsession with killing Mr MacGyver, the one who always got away."
"According to this, he died in 1991." The fifth man looked up from the notes they were given.
"MacGyver himself doesn't believe that man is dead, and with good reason." The man at the head of the table smirked. "We found him." With a click of a button his face filled the wall.
"He's mentally unhinged!" Another man argued, looking up from the file he was reading.
"He's brilliant, resourceful, and strong-willed." The head of the table said. "This is how we get to Jack O'Neill, by getting to his cousin. And we do that through this man." He told them. "I want to put a Goa'uld symbiote in him." The head of the table said. "Finally bring down the thorn in our side." A smile breaking across his face as he finished with a flourish. "Two birds with one stone."
