Thanks to everyone for all the great reviews.
I got an email about where in Stargate continuity this goes. I place it between "Heroes" and "Inauguration."
A number of you have asked which Doctor will be in this story. The answer… you'll find out in the next chapter. I was also asked why did I choose Jo Grant? Simple… I like Jo. I could've easily had Liz Shaw working with UNIT but I thought Jo was a better choice for story purposes. And it's funny you should mention Sarah Jane…
Anyway here's part three. Enjoy. And please keep the reviews coming they really do help me keep going even if I am a extremely slow in answering them.

PART THREE
Cheyenne Mountain, early the next morning.
There was a knock on the door and Major Paul Davis, the Pentagon's liaison to the SGC, entered the office of General George Hammond. "The plane carrying the UNIT people touched down ten minutes ago General. They should be at the mountain within the hour."
"Very good." Hammond motioned for the young major to sit. "SG-1 has a recon to P5X-063 this morning. Doctor Jackson is anxious to check SG-7's report of finding some ruins with writing that might belong to the Ancients. I've scheduled a briefing with all department heads and commanders of the SG teams currently earthbound for 1500."
"It's bound to be an interesting briefing Sir. In the nearly thirty-five years UNIT has been active they've stopped over a dozen attempts to invade Earth."
"I've read the reports Major. Their record speaks for itself." Hammond offered Davis a cup of coffee. "What bothers me is the fact that we've been kept in the dark about UNIT. Had we known about it when the SGC was first created we could've had a global coalition against the Goa'uld built years ago."
"From what I understand Sir the President himself decided against involving UNIT with the SGC sighting security reasons. Wanting to keep UNIT our secret last line of defense. I'm wondering what changed his mind?"
"The President is nearing the end of his second term and according to the latest polls there's a good chance that Henry Hayes will be our next Commander-In-Chief."
"Which means Senator Kinsey will be the next Vice President and in a perfect position to take control of the Stargate once and for all."
"The President is hedging his bets Major. By affiliating the SGC with UNIT it becomes a helluva lot more difficult for Kinsey or the NID to take over."
"So will we be under UNIT command?"
Hammond shook his head. "SGC personnel still report to me and I still report to the President. The UNIT people will be under the direct command of Colonel Kaine."
That reminded Major Davis of the other reason he came to see General Hammond. "The last of the personal files on the UNIT people arrived." He read off the names as he handed them over. "Captain Reed… Sergeant Coleman… Major Zebenlova… and Alyia Lareen."
Hammond gave them all a quick glance before setting them on top of the files for Colonel Kaine and Doctor Grant, which arrived the day before.
"This file is incomplete Major." Hammond said as he handed him back the one on Alyia. "It only covers the five years she's been with UNIT."
"Yes sir we noticed that as well. We made some inquiries and were told that any questions we have concerning Alyia Lareen should be directed to Doctor Grant and no one else. The Joint Chiefs tried to push the matter but the UNIT CO told them matter of factly that Miss Lareen was Doctor Grant's personal responsibility and that was the end of it."

Colonel Jack O'Neill stood on the platform in front of the Stargate, the event horizon of an open wormhole shimmering behind him, looking at his watch while the rest of the SG-1, Teal'c and Doctor Daniel Jackson, stood off to the side checking their gear, for a third time. They both looked up when they heard the heavy door slide open.
"Nice of you to join us Major Carter."
"Sorry sir." She said as she took her place on the ramp next to Colonel O'Neill. "They needed my help in setting up the computers on Level 20 for the UNIT personnel."
"Let's get this recon over with General Hammond wants us back by 1500 for a briefing with those UNIT people." The four members of SG-1 made their way up the ramp. "What's this planet called again?"
"P5X-063 sir." Major Carter answered.
O'Neill shot her an annoyed look. "I meant the name."
"I believe the inhabitants call their world Ataris O'Neill."
"Thank you Teal'c. Now was that so hard?" He asked Carter playfully.
Sam rolled her eyes as she followed them through the wormhole.

The planet Ataris.
"Where are we going?" Where are you taking me?" The young girl shouted at the back of the man running in front of her.
It took a few seconds for the man to realize that the girl was not behind any longer. He quickly turned around and found her sitting on a large stone. "My Lady we must hurry. The guards will not know of your escape until morning, but we must keep moving if we are to reach our destination and return before the Jaffa discover we have gone."
"I'm not taking another step until you tell me where we're going and what you're going to do to help me get my friend out of there."
The rebel Jaffa saw the determined look on this young girl's face. "I cannot rescue your friend alone." He pointed into the distance in front of them. "We are going through the Chapa'ai to find those who will help us."
"Chappa what?"
"I believe the Tau'ri call it the Stargate." He put his arm around her shoulder. "Now come Lady and fear not. With Master Bra'tac's help we will rescue your friend."
The two of them started down the path again unaware they were being observed by a Jaffa patrol.
The girl looked back over her shoulder at the fortress from which she had just escaped. "Hang on Doctor, I'm going to get you out of there."
