GateCrashers
Part 8 Of The Thundersdawn Series

"Incoming Wormhole!" the tech sergeant shouted over the blaring of the automatic sirens, red lights flashing throughout the buried complex as the gate shook and rumbled, its inner ring spinning around as an off-world gate connected.
With a kawhoosh of energy, the gate opened, the event horizon spilling into the room before dropping back into the confines of the Naquadah ring of the gate.
"Close the Iris" Hammond ordered, running swiftly down the clanging metal steps into the room"
"Yes, Sir" the tech paused as the information scrolling on his monitor shifted, a new message popping up onto its display, "Receiving GDO sir… its Ferreti and SG-2"
"Open the iris, inform Doctor Fraiser we have a team reporting back early"
"Yes, sir"
Hammond looked back towards the gate as armed soldiers poured into the gate room, cocking their weapons at the gate. Hammond sighed in relief as one after another the six man team dropped safely and unharmed into the room, then he cursed loudly, as Colonel Ferreti broke through the event horizon, cradling a battered, blood streaked Anise, her clothes in tatters.
"Medical to the gate room!" he heard Ferreti shout as he dashed out of the control room, down to the gate room.
"What the hell happened?" Hammond shouted as Ferreti handed the Tok'ra scientist over to Doctor Fraiser and the medical team.
"She arrived at PC-690 just as we were about to dial to our second destination sir, before she collapsed from apparent exhaustion she mentioned something about Maktenos having successfully seized the Tok'ra base, intact. She stated that most of the Tok'ra were caught of guard and captured Sir"
Hammond froze, the blood draining from his face as Ferreti spoke, the words drilling icy veins through his body as he contemplated the disaster now unfolding. The Tok'ra had a GDO, they could dial in any time from off-base, maybe an escapee or one who was not on the Tok'ra world when it was captured. Not only that, but many of the Tok'ra knew the location of the Alpha site, many more knew of the SGC's current procedures, or other valuable information on the Tau'ri. Worse than that, they were Earth's biggest source for intelligence and information on Anubis and Maktenos's operations, with only the Jaffa resistance coming close to providing as much information. This was trouble.
"You have one hour, get yourself cleaned up and checked out by Medical, then report to the briefing room"
It was time to send the RSS a heads up.
