As the Colonial Fleet gets closer to finding the lost 13th Tribe of Kobol, the new SG1 must find a new ally to destroy enemies old and new with their brethren from afar.

12. New Friends

Chapter 12: New Friends

Setting: Stargate Command, seconds after Chapter 10

The security forces were on high alert. The gate had activated and Daniel had asked not to close the iris. He had a feeling, an instinct.

Three individuals walked through the event horizon of Earth's Stargate – two men and a woman. They raised their arms at the sight of so many guns pointed at them.

"Stand down. Stand down!" General O'Neill's voice boomed through the comm. He and Daniel rushed through the blast doors and the security forces made a path for them.

"Howdy. Welcome to Earth. I am General O'Neill, leader of this facility."

The younger man was the first to speak up. The others looked around, completely in awe. "I'm Captain Lee Adama of the Battlestar Galactica, originally from Caprica. We have been searching for you."

"Yes, we know. I'm Doctor Daniel Jackson. We've learned much of your people and your situation just recently. We know you are on the run from the Cylons."

"Yes, that is correct. Oh, um, this is Doctor Gaius Baltar and Lieutenant Kara Thrace. They are from Galactica as well."

O'Neill turned to them. "It is nice to meet you." They didn't answer as he turned back to Apollo. "We'd like to help with your situation. Walter! Redial Kobol please. Daniel, Mitchell, T – be ready to disembark in five minutes! I need to contact Hammond. If you three would come this way please."

The three members of SG-1 departed to prepare for the mission. O'Neill and the three visitors headed up to his office.

"Yes, General. I'll have Walter use the computer to cross-reference the Kobol address to pinpoint the coordinates of the planet."

General Hammond smiled from behind his desk with the phone to his ear. "Good. I'll let the President know what is going on and that I'm taking the Prometheus for a spin."

"I recommend we escort the fleet to the Alpha Site. Safe haven most likely."

General Hammond nodded. "I'll tell that to Hayes. Just send the coordinates when you have them."

"Yes, sir."

O'Neill, Apollo, Starbuck, and Baltar headed out of the General's office to the large window overlooking the Gateroom. They watched as SG-1 entered the event horizon and the gate shut off.
