A/N: These characters and the shows they come from are not mine. I just dream about them sometimes. I apologize in advance for any errors. I love the show Stargate, and I miss its' heyday. Most of this is from memory and a few reruns. You could call this story AU for both shows. Anyway, enjoy!
"So was it a Goa'uld ship or not?" Col. Jack O'Neill tapped his fingers impatiently on the table.
"To be honest, we just don't know, sir. There isn't enough data." Major Samantha Carter replied.
"We were lucky to catch the fact that it wasn't a natural meteor, with the main satellites malfunctioning. We do know that it wasn't very large, and that the trajectory it took couldn't be random."
"And what is that trajectory, Major?" General George Hammond asked.
Major Carter pointed to the lighted map. "Telemetry shows it to have landed in Kansas, sir."
"Kansas." Col. O'Neill grumped. "Great, just great. Now tell me how can this have happened, again? How an unknown alien ship can just land in middle of Nowhere, Kansas without us being aware of it first?"
"Jack, you know that the satellites haven't been working right for the past two days. The electromagnetic pulse that those idiots in the NID tried out fried some of the circuits. They're lucky the damage was contained to just some military satellites." Dr. Daniel Jackson finished speaking, looking around the table at his teammates and friends.
In addition to Col. O'Neill, Maj. Carter, and Gen. Hammond, Dr. Janet Fraiser and Teal'c, their alien Jaffa friend was also present. The SGC (Stargate Command) was in a state of alert. All off world activity had been halted, as it seemed that things might be going wrong. Their worst fears had been realized when a threat had come from the sky and not from the Stargate itself. The loss of data from the satellites had effectively crippled them. Much information now came from a few select major observatories, and a very few commercial satellites that hadn't been affected and were reliable and discreet.
"Wonderful. So if the Earth gets invaded we can blame the NID. That's just swell." Col. O'Neill was not a happy camper.
"Actually, it wasn't Nowhere, Kansas sir. The ship, well, we think it's a ship, anyway, landed near a town called Smallville. I don't think it's a coincidence, sir." Maj. Carter continued.
"In 1989, there really was a meteor strike in that location—in fact many meteorites landed. They even call it the Meteorite capital. It's possible that this ship was drawn there by low-level radiation."
Dr. Jackson handed Col. O'Neill a faded copy of a magazine, which showed the horrors of the meteor strike that hit Smallville.
"I dug this out of the archives. Apparently there are meteorites all over the land there. Maybe put together they look like some sort of landing beacon to alien technology."
"So why aren't we on our way?" Col. O'Neill demanded.
"I just wanted to make sure you had all the information possible before you headed out, Colonel. I want to involve the general public as little as possible. Try and keep a low profile." Gen. Hammond said.
"Teal'c, I guess you get to wear your hat." Col. O'Neill said to his friend.
"That will be acceptable." Teal'c rumbled.
"Be careful, SG-1. We don't know what we're dealing with. It might or might not be hostile, or even manned. Take whatever supplies you need—within reason." Gen. Hammond concluded.
"I'm going too, sir. I want to make sure proper containment measures are taken." Dr. Fraiser said.
"Of course, doctor. Try and keep SG-1 out of trouble." Gen. Hammond finished.
"Yes, sir." Dr. Fraiser replied.
The meeting broke up, and SG-1, accompanied by Dr. Fraiser, set out to gather up as much intelligence and supplies as possible as quickly as possible. They were already veterans at going out and exploring new worlds and defending against threats. They just weren't used to having to defend against alien threats on Earth itself. They would find that in this case, they would have an ally.
Again, to be continued.
winthjo, thanks for your comment. I sorta saw this happening in the beginning of season 2, after Heat but before Pete discovers Clark's ship in the fields.
SVCrystalGreen, thanks! I'll do my best.
