Dark Discoveries

When Jack stepped out of the stargate, something very odd happened to the portal behind him. It turned from a watery blue to pitch black. The gate room seemed to be eclipsed by the dark aura of the transformed stargate for a few seconds then deactivated.

"What happened over their Jack?" asked Selmac.

"I don't know. There was this big black dome thing. I think it came from where you said the snakehead research facility was located"

Selmac looking a little amused, "General we must redial the stargate immediately"

Hammond, "Do it".

The engineer went through the process of calling out the dialing process until he reached the seventh. "Chevron seven will not lock, I repeat not lock".

Jack, "Okay, what the hell is going on"!

"I believe I can answer that for you", said Selmac with an even more amused tone.

"Well", said Jack with his usual impatient tone.

Selmac, "I believe that your entrance through the stargate caused a disruption in what ever power source the Goa'uld were experimenting and it went out of control".

Sam, "How is that possible, I mean the stargate is completely separate from the facility it shoudn't do that".

Selmac, "Normally no, but this power source seemed to have some transdimensional characteristics, the wormhole created by the stargate combined with the limited Goa'uld knowledge of it seems to have been enough to cause it to become unstable".

Jack, "So these snakeheads pretty much blew themselves up".

Selmac, "Yes". At this O'Neil couldn't help but grin, which, of course drew a raised eyebrow from Teal'c.

Jack, "What? It's just refreshing to know that.". A bright light enveloped Jack and the rest of SG-1 preventing him from completing his statement.

Where SG-1 reappeared was in a large dark blue room with a metal chair at one end of it. Sitting on that chair was the three foot tall asgard by the name of Thor.

Thor, "Hello Colonel O'Neil and of course the rest of SG-1"

Jack, "Thor, it's great to see you again, but I doubt this is a social visit."

"You are correct in that assumption Colonel O'Neil", said Thor with an odd tone of voice. "I have come here with grave news about the planet you have recently visited".

Sam, "You mean P3X2457".

Thor, "Yes, Major Carter we detected an enormous amount of an unknown energy being released, so we went to investigate, but all we saw was the end result."

Jack, "And, how big of a dent was it."

Thor, "I think you should see this for yourselves." Thor then called up the view screen, except there was nothing on it.

Teal'c, "There seems to be some mistake, there is no planet there."

Thor, "We believe that the explosion completely destroyed the planet".

"That's impossible", stated Sam matter of factly.

Jack, "It is".

Sam, "Yes, sir. Even if the explosion was great enough to shake the planet apart, then there should still be some debris".

Thor, "No Major Carter, I mean it was completely destroyed. There is no debris at all, almost as if the planet never existed.

"What", said all of SG-1 in unison; except Teal'c, he raised an eyebrow.

Thor, "I'm afraid that isn't all, when we reached your planet we detected the same type of energy emanating from several different individuals on your planet".

Everyone on SG-1, even Teal'c, exchanged looks of mixed shock and a little fear.
