The week had elapsed with a sense of tension not seen since before the 2nd World War, there was an energy in the air that was undeniable, the expected riots had not happened but what had was a sense of excitement and trepidation.

A meeting had been called for the UN by the US President Bill Clinton one that he had stated would enlighten everyone to the events of "The Battle Of Sol" as many were calling it and speculation was rife. There was no denying what had happened, and UFO enthusiasts were demanding answers seeming to all the world to be vindicated.

Many of send UFO enthusiasts had been brought onto reputable TV stations for there "expert" analysis of what happened and who they think were involved but of that was silenced when Bill Clinton took to the podium.

There were no applause, just the President walking to the podium. He shook the hand of the man who introduced him and bowed slightly in acknowledgment to the speaker of the house, and he began.

"Fellow members of the UN and Citizens of the Planet Earth. One week ago, we discovered that we are not alone and that there are forces in this galaxy grater than our own." He said as he looked around the room. "but this revelation is not a new one to the United States Government as we have encountered these forces before. But we first must Discuss how we encountered them before we can get to why they were here."

There was a rumble amongst the delegates that threatened to erupt before the hammering of a Gavel and a call to order was sounded.

"Our involvement Started with a Dig in Egypt in 1928. A renowned Egyptologist named Dr Henry Paul Langford discovered a ring made of a material that was impossible to finds on earth. A material that had such conductive qualities that if replicated could have allowed the US to leapfrog the British and French Empires in radio and radar technologies and to keep it safe from the Nazis he came to us."

there were several scoffs of outrage, but the President was allowed to continue to speak.

"it wasn't until 1940 that the device was again brought into light by the US Army. They had discovered that the ring wasn't a solid piece but there was an inner ring that moved and in 1942 through trial and era project Giza as it was then called managed to activate the device sending one man through, a man braver than most, this man was Dr Ernest Littlefield.

The lights dimmed slightly and screens that had been hidden began to deploy then the grainy black and white film footage showing a man in old school diving gear and oxygen lines enter through a shimmering pool of water then the pool vanished after he had fully stepped through.

There were gasps of horror as the footage ended and the lights came back up. There was a small commotion as uniformed members of the US Airforce handed out thick sealed packages to each sitting delegate.

"it wasn't discovered until decades later that the device was a stable wormhole projector and would allow the transport of people instantaneously through it from one world to another." The rumbling murmur returned but this time it quickly became a cacophony of noise and shouting none louder that the Egyptian delegate.

There was another round of hammering, and it took several minutes before the delegates ambassadors and heads of state had calmed down again allowing the president to continue.

"Dr Littlefield was thought lost and the project shelved as Japan had attacked Perl Harbour and America was brought into the Second World War. It was only through the tireless efforts of one Dr Catherine Langford daughter of the archaeologist who discovered it and fiancée of the lost Dr Littlefield that in the 1970s the Us gave the device another shot."

He took a sip of cool water for his throat and tried to not think about the hatred being channelled at him by even his closest allies.

"this time there were no shortcuts taken we pulled Egyptologists and Archaeologists to find every scrap of information on the ring. We sponsored digs and followed every lead until we had found what we were looking for. But to fully explain that I have brought several members of a Team Called SG1 a Classified team of specialists whose expertise has been absolutely invaluable Dr Daniel Jackson."

The brunette scientist walked across to the podium as the president stepped aside to allow the man to speak, he wore a tweed suit and walked with a confidence that belied his nervousness. He shook the presidents' hand who whispered to him

"good luck."

"thank you." He smiled nervously

"Good morning." He said easily his hand shaking slightly as he straightened his suit jacket "I am Dr Daniel Jackson Linguist; Egyptologists and Archaeologist in September 1993 I was giving a lecture on the origins of the Pyramids of Egypt specifically that they were built by an ancient race of Aliens." you could hear a pin drop as the entire world hung on his every word. "needless to say, I was laughed out of the building, but following that I was approached by the US military they needed help deciphering something and they were told I was the best suited for the roll.

He opened the packet that every delegate had been supplied with and opened it to the 50th page.

"I was given documents that I needed to translate for them. on said documents as you can see in the packets you have been given, Page 50, this language was proto-Egyptian that had pushed my original thesis, it is quite literally the root of all Egyptian languages it took some time bit I was able to fully translate what I would later find out a capstone that had come with the gate."

Again, the lights dimmed, and the screens showed the obelisk, Dr Jackson felt a wave of nostalgia as he explained the intricacies of the language.

"in of October 1993, once I had fully translated the capstone, I discovered that it held an address that could be accessed through the Stargate, the ring device, we call it a Stargate." The imaged changed from the capstone to the image of the white bord where Dr Jackson had explained how the address system worked. "it was later that the Airforce put to gather a team to go through the gate ascertain if the location was a threat if so to detonate a nuclear device that we brought with us if not to return to the base." He smiled slight as he adjusted his glasses "a simple enough mission that became much more difficult when we encountered the native population of the planet known as Abydos."

The Gate's glittering event horizon was the only light the sun having long since gone down, the clouds were think and heavy with perspiration the air was moist and held a charge that she knew would mean a storm was coming.

Carefully she stepped down the elevated platform that the Gate sat upon when the light vanished for a moment the amber lights of the chevron readers died, she was bathed in darkness. But she had memorised the rout months before and she hoped little would have changed.

Suddenly she was blinded by a light forcing her to cover her eyes with her arms. She hated that but knew the security was necessary. Suddenly she found herself surrounded but before she could speak the whirring ring of the transport rings surrounded her and she was once again blinded and disorientated.

"Te'Nak?" the voice was distinctly male even with the natural distortion "we were not expecting you back for weeks." He said carefully "has something happened."

"Lantash, summon the council I have news."

"what?" now he was more than concerned had they been compromised again?

"its our Queen she lives." There was an astonished silence as one of the guards ran down one of the tunnels that branched off from their left. "and the Goa'uld know."

"by the rivers." Came an astonished voice from her right this time it was Martouf.
