Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate SG-1, MGM and Showtime do.

Author's Note: Don't know what happened to the first chapter, but this takes place sometime during the fifth season.




Stargate SG-1
"Asguard to the rescue...as...usual"
Chapter 2






"The humans are not yet ready," Thor told his fellow Asguard. "They may be young, and think they're ready for what lies beyond their gate, but they are not."

"They are still so young. How can we keep them from destroying themselves?"

"By giving them back something they lost. It seems that Colonel O'Neill and his people will continue to explore even if they knew one day they would die, even if we buried and hid the stargate they would find it and reopen it. It is one of the things I like about him."

"He is willing to explore even if he would die from it?"

"Yes."

"I do not believe you," he told Thor.

"It is true, I know Colonel O'Neill, SG-1, and many members of the Tau'ri. They are people who will do anything for freedom, they help those they know, and even those they do not. Even those who would call them primative," a voice from the other room told Thor's companion.

"And who may I ask are you?"

"I am Narim, I came from a world called Tollan, the humans as you call them save me and a group of our people. We were about to die on our planet. We shared our technology with peoples much like the Tau'ri on a planet in our system and they used it for war. It destroyed their planet and sent ours out of alignment. The Tau'ri fought against the people on their world who did not understand and helped us. They helped us. We went with the Nox and then to our new planet we named Tollana. There my government later aligned themselves with a Goa'uld without telling our people. The Tau'ri team known as SG-1 helped me fight against the Goa'uld and his weapons of mass destruction that we help him build. Tollana was destroyed, but then I found myself here. Thor had saved myself and Schrodinger. Later, he told he had also saved a handful of my people and relocated them."

"I see."

"They have great potential, and they will meet their potential if we help them."

"How? How can we help the Tau'ri?"

"By saving one of them," Narim told him.

"Colonel O'Neill," Thor began.

"We had a ship named after him. It blew up."

"That is correct. He and his team were about to leave a planet when Apohias and his guards arrived. Samantha Carter was killed by one of the guards. When she died, I knew that if there was any hope for the rest of the team to continue it was to believe that Apohias had taken her."

"But he has not. She is dead."

"Samantha is or rather I suppose was a very kind person. She may be from a people who seem young to us, but he heart fills in the rest," Narim said as Schrodinger came in. Narim picked up the cat, "Samantha gave me Schrodinger as a gift I had never seen a real animal before and she showed me many. She was a truly wonderful person."

"What can we do Commander Thor?"

"We can save her, and then send her through the stargate with Narim and the animal."

"Then we should get started."
