DISCLAIMER: Stargate SG-1 isn't mine. Don't sue me because I don't have anything for you to gain by it. I'm not making any money off this. Just borrowing some great characters for a little while. Also I don't own Battlestar Galactica. You'll see why that's a necessary statement later.
SUMMARY: The Stargate dials a new planet. One that no one in the SGC has seen before. There are a lot of ruins. The team that first travels there sends for Daniel when they find an amazing library that seems to be pretty much in tact.
SPOILERS: None really. Knowing the show helps to understand the characters that are here.
"General, the MALP shows a breathable atmosphere, and suitable temperatures. It appears to be a planet well-suited for humans."
"What about scenery?"
"It appears to be a city in ruins with the Stargate right in the middle of it."
"Any inhabitants?
"None apparent."
"What teams are available for this?"
"SGs 1, 15, 22, 23. Of course, SG-1 just came back from a mission."
"They won't be going. That last mission was rough. Things got really nasty."
"Yes, sir. Which team would you like prepped?"
"Let's give this one to SG-15. They haven't been out in a while."
The call went out over the intercom for SG-15 to report to the briefing room.
"Not more than three hours ago, we sent a MALP through the gate to a new address that we had never seen before. It appears to be a planet that humans could live on quite easily. Of course, we didn't see any people. However, that does not rule out the possibility of people being present. I want you to go to this planet and see what you can find out. No heroics. Just go. See what's there and report back. If there's any trouble, either get back here or call for backup immediately."
"Yes, sir." Major Elliot was still fairly new to team command. He looked to his teammates. The team he had gone through training with. They had been split up when they first joined the SGC and then, eventually put back together as a team. Jack knew that the four of them worked well together. Almost as well as the original SG-1. That was a high compliment coming from General Jack O'Neill. Elliot was still glad that he had his training team back together. It was good to work with people who knew him. Looking at his team, he stood up. "SG-15, time to suit up." He turned back to Jack. "When do we leave, sir?"
"Thirty minutes, Elliot. Be in the gate room then."
Elliot and Captain Haley were on point as the team stepped out of the Stargate into what appeared to be a city of a fairly advanced civilization. Looking around, Haley saw the building first.
It appeared to be a library of some sort. There were lions out in front of the building. Or at least what was left of two lions. Haley noticed the steps and what appeared to be paws. There was a head of a lion lying not too far away. She took a couple of steps toward it when Elliot yelled at her. "Haley, stay put!"
She looked around to see an animal of some sort standing not too far away from her. The creature kind of looked like a dog except for the fact that the front legs were longer than the back and it kind of walked like a gorilla. She stood stone still as the thing walked up to her. It sniffed her a few times. Then, it let out a sound kind of like a bark and started jumping around her as if it recognized her.
She reached out a hand and touched its head and it lay down at her feet almost purring. "So strange. It looks like a dog, walks like a gorilla and yet purrs like a cat." She was smiling.
Looking over at her team commander, Haley smiled. "It's a lot like a dog, sir. It obviously likes human company. I think you can put down the gun." Elliot slowly lowered the P90 to his side but did not re-engage the safety. He was still ready to shoot at the first sign that his team was in danger.
Grogan and Satterfield stepped down off the platform the Stargate was on. "What's this?"
"It appears that Haley found a friend. I'm just not so certain that it doesn't just see her as its next meal." Elliot was still highly tense. Haley stood up from where she had been petting the unusual creature.
"Can we check the building out now, sir?" She was curious to see what kind of a race had once lived here.
"Carefully. I don't want to chance running into anything that the MALP didn't pick up." The team headed toward what they assumed to be a library. What they didn't realize was that they were in for an even bigger shock when they saw what was actually inside the building.
A/N: Yeah. I know. Starting a new one while I still have so many unfinished ones is not exactly the brightest idea I've ever had. It crept into my mind and took over. And for those of you who think you know where they are, stay tuned. You just may be right.
