CHAPTER TWO

"What is it, sir?" Sam asked.
"This is a door, isn't it Daniel?" Jack asked, still peering through the hole.
Daniel smiled. "Yes, but there's no access panel or anything that would seem to open it."
"Teal'c," Jack said, looking back at him. He took his staff weapon and aimed it at the wall, charged it and fired. When it hit the wall, electrical currents snaked around the part of the wall that was the hidden door and in a few seconds, the door split down the middle and hissed open.
Inside the room the walls were covered in hieroglyphs of a language they had never seen before and in the center if the room was a young girl of at least 16 years of age, sleeping inside a small glass chamber laid out on a metal table. There were cables and wires attached to the chamber, and there was a monitor next to it.
"Wow," Sam and Daniel said, Sam walking over to the sleeping girl, her long black hair fanned out on her pillow, her right hand lightly sitting on her chest, a lock of hair twisted in her fingers, wearing a black gown and no shoes. Her fingernails and toenails were painted black and she had a gold bracelet around her right ankle.
"Yeah…" Jack said, following close behind.
"I've never seen this language before," Daniel said, walking over to the wall admiring the hieroglyphs. "It could be difficult to translate."
"I wonder how you open this thing…" Jack said absentmindedly, looking around the chamber.
"She's in a cryogenic state…" Sam said in awe. "But I didn't think cryogenics was able to stabilize non-organic material."
"Mmm…" Jack said, not sure exactly what he was agreeing to…
"I have heard of this place…" Teal'c said, looking around. "There were stories of a young girl from an untouchable world who defied the Goa'uld and ran away only to be taken and captured by creatures more powerful than any System Lord…she forever lay sleeping in a frozen dream surrounded the words of every race in the universe…"
Jack raised both eyebrows twice. "Intriguing…" he said. Daniel said something to Teal'c, but it sounded like archeologicalbabble, so he shut him out. He began to look around the cryogenic chamber again for a way of opening it. He found a small blue button next to a thick cable issuing a purple liquid into the chamber. "Hey, I think I found out how to open it," he said, and pushed the button.
