Chapter Thirteen (Present Day—Tok'ra Base)
"High chancellor?"
"Yes?"
"We have received a request from the humans of Earth."
"For what do they ask?"
"Fifty four data storage sensor crystals."
"Why would we be inclined to acknowledge this request?"
"They have as their guest an Alterran."
"A living breathing Gatebuilder?"
"The Gatebuilder, sixty five million years ago she invented the design for the Stargates we know today."
"Supply them with the needed crystals under the condition that we be allowed to interview this Alterran."
"Yes ma'am." The High chancellor, both symbiote and host issued a mental sigh of jubilation.
The original Gatebuilder was a woman!
