DISCLAIMER: Neither Stargate SG-1 nor Battlestar Galactica belong to me. I can wish though. Just borrowing familiar characters to throw a new idea at you.

SUMMARY: SG-15 has been sent to a planet that until now was unknown to the people of Earth. They found a city in ruins with a possible library. What they find inside that library is something totally unexpected.

SPOILERS: None really. Knowing the two shows will help you understand the familiar characters in this one.

A/N: I know that Elliot died during the episode Last Stand. I'm changing that a little. Lantash died, saving Elliot in the process. Elliot was found by SG-1 and Jacob used the healing device on him.

Looking around the inside of the building, the four members of SG-15 realized that they would need help and lots of time to discover the people that had once lived on this planet.

Jennifer Haley was in heaven. This was a library all right. It was a library the likes of which she had never seen on Earth. It could take months, maybe even years, to go through everything in here. She scanned the signs on the walls, most of which were faded with time.

Finding what she was looking for, she left the group heading straight for the area which seemed to be where newspapers and such like would be. The first paper she picked up showed a headline, "Peace Talks to Begin with Cylons".

"Major Elliot!" She waited until her CO came over to where she stood looking at the paper. "Look at this. It appears these people had been at war with another people known as Cylons for around 1000 yahrens, whatever that means. This paper says that they were about to start peace talks with these very enemies. I wonder what happened. I wonder how long ago this all happened and what went wrong."

"I think we need to call home. We'll need a scientific perspective on all of this."

"And maybe have them bring a generator so we can work at night if necessary."

"You work too much, Jennifer."

She smiled and shrugged. "That's why I have no friends outside the team."

"When we get back, we'll have to work on that," Elliot smiled, clasping one hand on her shoulder.

She smiled too as the team headed back out to the gate to call for help.

Since General O'Neill was standing in the control room when Elliot's call came through, they didn't have to wait too long.

"General, so far we haven't encountered any humans. However, we found a library and there are a lot of newspapers and such which might explain what happened to the people here."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a human came charging at the team, screaming. He attacked Satterfield.

"They're all dead! All of them!" he screamed as Grogan pulled the man off Satterfield. "It's all your fault! Your fault!"

Satterfield stepped away from the man, rubbing at her throat where he had been strangling her. "What's your problem?" she demanded in a raspy voice.

"You! You're a frakin' Cylon! You slaughtered everyone!" He was still glaring at Satterfield as he spoke.

"What in the hell is a Cylon?" Elliot demanded stepping in front of his teammate.

"Cylons are machines. Evil machines that caused this whole mess. They attacked and those they didn't kill fled." The man took a deep breath. The thought was going through his mind that maybe these weren't Cylons. Maybe they were human after all. "There weren't enough ships for everyone to go so some of us got left behind. I was only 6 yahren when the attack happened. They occupied the planet for so long that some of us began to think that they would never leave. Then they started to realize that only certain models could survive here for long. The weather was just not meant for machines."

"Okay. Now, let me explain something to you. We're human. My name is Jason Elliot. I'm from the planet Earth. This is Jennifer Haley, Kristian Grogan, and, the young woman you attacked is named Kathleen Satterfield."

Just then, they heard Jack's voice coming through the MALP. "Elliot! Elliot, what's going on? Talk to me, Elliot!"

Elliot stepped back over to the MALP in front of the Stargate which was still open. The man went slack in Grogan's grip when he saw the gate open. "Sorry, sir. Had a small situation that I had diffuse." He went on to explain what had happened.

"I'm sending SGs 1, 22, and 23 along with 3, who just returned, through to help you. If there are other people there then you might need a few extra people to back you up. Dr. Lam and Dr. Lee will also accompany the teams."

"Yes, sir. We'll wait right here by the gate."

The transmission ended and Elliot turned back to the man. "What's wrong with him?"

Grogan shrugged. He had let go when the man went slack. "I don't know. He just dropped when he noticed the gate was open."

"You travel the path of the Lords of Kobol?"

"Is that what you call the Stargate?"

"Yes. According to our history, only the Lords of Kobol and their descendents knew how to use the great rings. No one else could open the gates and walk the Star Path. They were the only ones who knew the codes." The man was now sitting on the ground. He felt awful. He had attacked these people who had traveled by a means only used by the ancestors. People who apparently had mastered traveling the Star Path.

"Are you going to be alright?" Haley asked, squatting down beside the man.

"I will be fine, my lady. Do not trouble yourself about me. Where did you say you came from?" It had just hit him where they had said they were from.

"Earth. Why?"

"Earth is where the thirteenth colony went according to the old writings. It was written many millennia ago that twelve colonies left the planet Kobol and settled these twelve planets. The thirteenth colony had left many yahren before. The other twelve had left to find them and managed only to make it this far before they could go no further. No one knows what happened to Kobol after the colonists left."

"Do you know where there might have been more codes for the gate?"

"The only place that they might be is in the ruins of Commander Adama's home. He was a direct descendent of the Lords of Kobol. He had many of the old writings in his home."

"Can you show us the way?"

"Of course. Everyone knows where the Commander lived. We occasionally go there to restore our hope that our people will return for us."

"Once the others get here, we'll leave some here and take others to the house. Cover two bases at a time." That decided, the team settled in to wait for the backup to arrive.
