The Road to...
Chapter 2
... P3X-4921
Daniel started his presentation. He was explaining the historical aspects of what their mission was going to be and where they were going. They were searching for an ancient city of riches hidden deep in a jungle.
It was El Durado, the city of gold. Hidden away in the heart of an endless rainforest, the city is beautiful and full of gold and valuable jewels. Nobody has seen it for thousands of years and some used to say that it is protected by an Aztec god, the Gold King, also called El Durado.
Daniel told them how the story had come from Central America, and that some writing on ancient ruin actually hinted at the city—or the legend. SG-5 had documented with digital pictures some ruins they'd found on the planet P3X-1576. Their pictures showed glyphs that were very similar to Aztec. Daniel, working with a team from South America, had managed to translate some of the writing. It recounted the story of El Durado. The most exciting thing they had recovered was the beginning of a string of Stargate co-ordinates. The rock the symbols had been carved in had been broken so only five symbols remained.
"We're not sure, but the edges of the rock look like they might have blast marks from a Jaffa staff weapon." Daniel was saying, "Using the dialing computer, Sam found all of the possible combinations that would connect, using the symbols we found, with Earth as the point of origin."
Sam continued talking from there. She told the team, "We got three positive locks with the possible Stargate addresses. One, when we sent the UAV through, was apparently in the middle of a rainforest. The UAV crashed into some really tall trees, but we think this world might be it."
General Hammond drawled, "Teal'c have you ever heard of this city?"
This whole time Teal'c had been trying to remember something he had heard once years ago. The Tau-ri, they always were wanting him to recall legends and rumors and myths from the Jaffa culture.
"I once met a man who was from a ship that had been beyond known space. He spoke of many things, and said something about fighting in a jungle." Teal'c paused for a moment, unsure of weather it would be wise to add that he had actually interrogated and executed the man who had been accused of heresy and insanity.
"Most people think the El Durado was just made up by the Spanish so they could conquer South America, but we may have found it!" Daniel concluded. He was clearly enthralled with the whole thing.
"Well, not quite yet," General Hammond said, "but that is what you are going to P3X-4921M to find out. In two weeks you are to send a report back, detailing your progress and any technology or resources that you find."
"Yes, sir." O'Neill said as they were dismissed from the brief.
AN: Hi! Okay, the next chapter is better! Tell me what ya'll want to happen or whatever!
Wait a minute! Here's the Disclaimer! The TV people own Stargate, not me! Duh... but there you go!
