AN: I have moved the city of Corinth from a futuristic alternate reality version of Power rangers' earth to another planet. The City of Corinth is now the original city of the world Corinthum and it was settled by a group of colonists 9,000 years ago that were onboard the city ship Corinth. I got this idea from re-watching Lost Galaxy and the two cities look quite a lot alike if you think about it.

General George Hammond touched a picture on his desk and closed his eyes. This day marked another day since the death of his granddaughter. He had been a big part of the girl's young life and he spent many days watching his younger granddaughters trying to recreate the bond he had had with the young girl. His finger glanced over her beautiful bronze hair and her soft doe brown eyes. The news had crippled him when he had learned of her death while on a visit overseas after her graduation.

Standing up he made sure his uniform was neat and that his appearance would not give away what a sorrowful day today was for the older General who just couldn't seem to find it in him to retire. SG1 kept him going and he had no doubt that the report they had for him would not disappoint him.

Going through the door to the briefing room his eyes cast towards Colonel O'Neill who was lounging in a chair at the table with his feet up on the table and his BDU's rumpled. If one didn't know Colonel O'Neill they would think he was lazy and insubordinate. He might be insubordinate however he was far from lazy he just preferred to throw around the lazy and dumb routine so people wouldn't ask too much of him.

Jonas Quinn who had recently filled the place of Dr. Daniel Jackson stood by the window that looked down at the stargate thoughtfully eating a banana. Jonas Quinn was a brilliant man who was exiled from his home world because of his willingness to make things right after his people caused the death of Dr. Jackson.

Teal'c who was a Jaffa sat across from O'Neill and if you didn't know him well you would think he was having a staring battle with the Colonel. In reality it was more probable that the Colonel was having a staring battle with the former first prime while the Jaffa sat in deep concentration of the upcoming briefing.

Major Dr. Samantha Carter stood by the white board trying to figure out some equation that had either been written by another scientist or putting final touches on a theory she was going to present. Her cropped hair frazzled around the edges led him to think that she was onto something big and had been working through their down time that had immediately followed their return through the stargate.

The General coughed into his hand and all four members of SG1 sprung to attention as they stood at their places at the table. After he had taken his seat at the head of the table they followed suit. "What do you have for me today?"

Colonel O'Neill rolled his eyes, "Well sir we have finally encountered a world that is equivalent to our level of technology or rather it was before they created a damn virus which nearly wiped them out!"

General Hammond nodded, "Are you positive that you are not infected."

Major Carter responded, "No Sir, it wasn't that kind of a virus."

"It sure wasn't," Colonel O'Neill responded, "the big nasty bug was a self-aware computer virus. It seems that all the people out there who could be our potential allies wipe themselves out with their own technology."

"You have to give them credit though." Jonas Quinn added in, "Even though they are at Earth's technology level they demonstrated that they were much more involved with their intergalactic community for lack of better terms despite not knowing the existence of the stargate or having reliable space flight technology accessible to them."

"You mean other than that honking big ship they called a city." Colonel O'Neill responded, "You know the one they said can't fly?"

"With that said it is doubtful that they would even know how to fly it even if it was able to fly." Jonas replied, "From what Dillon was able to tell us they have been on that world for 9,000 years."

The General leaned forward, "What did you find out about the planet itself?"

Major Carter organized her files, "The planet we have designated as P3Z-2X1 but we now know is referred to as Corinthum by the inhabitants. The address to the planet was on the ancient cartouche but not the Goa'uld. From MALP telemetry the planet appeared to be a barren wasteland we were originally going to categorize it and visit it at a later date as a potential colony world. However the MALP picked up a highly decayed radio transmission. It was undecipherable but held interest so we went through to investigate."

General Hammond looked down at his copy of the report, "Did these inhabitants know anything of the Goa'uld?"

"They did not General Hammond." Teal'c replied with a nod of his head

"In fact, Sir, if I could hazard a guess I would say with all probability that the Ancients may have been behind their relocation." Major Carter nodded her head.

"Now that's a big surprise. The Goa'uld enslaved us and the Asguard meddled so why not have the Ancients interfere as well? We know that they were here, we have even thawed one out of the ice." Colonel O'Neill threw his arms up as he exclaimed.

"Sir, Ayiana was millions of years old we don't even know if the Ancients had contact with humans or not." Jonas replied, "The people of Corinthum claim to have been transported to their world well during Ra's reign here on Earth."

General Hammond looked back down at the report, "Tell me more about this young woman you encountered first off."

Colonel O'Neill leaned back in his chair and laughed, "Good Ole Tenaya, she was an interesting one. For a blind girl she had a lot of spunk and put us in our place a time or two."

Major Carter shook her head, "Correction she put you in your place a time or two."

"I found her interesting; she was able to put a lot into perspective for me." Jonas smiled, "Of Course her brother seemed to hate me."

"I do not think that Dillon trusted any of us." Teal'c responded

"How did you come about meeting this Tenaya?" General Hammond asked as he looked around at the team in front of him.

Jonas nodded, "we had arrived to the planet and the Colonel was making his jokes about barren wastelands and how we always find trouble on them. I heard screaming and yelling. I ran over the side of the dunes to find a group of about ten people dressed in tattered clothing beating up a young woman.

CORINTHUMSG1

Jonas came through the stargate and looked around, "You are sure that this planet was on the ancient cartouche? I was under the impression that all other worlds that were of Ancient origin had some sort of artificial structures that served various purposes near the gate.

Major Samantha Carter nodded as she checked the MALP, "We have found other ancient worlds that were desolate but what is interesting is that the MALP indicated that there is some form of a radio transmission on this planet however it couldn't decipher what it was the signal was so far degraded."

"None of the other Ancient worlds have ever had anything resembling your radio frequencies." Teal'c raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly so we need to find out why this planet is different from other abandoned Ancient worlds." Sam explained to the team.

Jonas turned around as they were discussing the radio signal, "Do you hear that?"

Jack looked at the team's nerd, "Hear what?" but then he quickly started to run over a nearby sand dune that revealed a wall of cliffs behind them. At the base of the cliffs were a motley gang of people fighting.

Teal'c aimed his staff weapon just past the fighters and hit the dirt causing an explosion that forced the group to stop what they were doing and cower in fear.

"What do you people think you are doing?" Jack protested as they started to move in towards what they were fighting over

A person turned to face them, "Get your own! She has food and we will have it!"

Jack sized the person up. They were wearing an outfit of tattered rags that were literally tied together by the threads it was made up of. All the people seemed much uncivilized however he could now see the girl on the ground was wearing nicer clothes and aside from newly formed cuts and bruises seemed healthier.

Sam quickly set her pack down, "If you stop fighting we can give you some food, surely she doesn't have anything for you."

"You have food!" another looked eagerly towards them

Jonas nodded, "yes we have food but you can't attack us."

"Please we only want to feed our children and she wouldn't give us the food that she normally gives us." Another one of the attackers responded

Jonas quickly began handing out rations to the people, "we don't have much with us. But what we have we will share."

Sam moved closer to the girl laying on the ground and lifted her up so that she was standing next to her leaning on Sam. After the group had each received some of the rations that they had brought along Teal'c took the girl from Sam and they carried her back towards the stargate.

As Teal'c walked along the girl regained consciousness and began to kick and scream. "Let me go, I don't have anything for you today. Our supplies are very low!"

"Oh for crying out loud we don't want anything from you!" Jack rolled his eyes as he stood next to the girl, "We just rescued you from those people although we will probably regret it later."

Jonas held out his canteen to the girl, "Do you want something to drink?"

Teal'c set the girl down and she reached out in the general direction of Jonas' voice and fumbled around looking for the canteen.

Sam noticed this and quickly came over to the girl and shined a light towards the girls eyes, "Are you alright?"

The girl shook her head, "I am blind and as far as I know I have always been blind. You can take that light away from my eyes. I have photo sensitivity due to my blindness."

Sam shut the light off, "what do you mean as far as you know?"

"I had my memory scrubbed two years ago when I was captured by Venjix. Any remnants of my memory files were unable to be retrieved." The girl explained as she finally reached for the canteen and guided the bottle to her lips, "You can call me Tenaya though."

Sam looked at Tenaya, "How do you go about having your memory scrubbed?"

"I don't know the exact process, but our enemy which we have deactivated erased mine and my brother's memories. It isn't a common practice however Venjix was able to do it as part of his hybrid experiments."

Jack looked around nervously, "Who is this Venjix?"

"Venjix was a computer virus that was created as a probable theory on how we could create a defense shield that could be used to protect our world from any possible invaders. The virus mutated and took over our entire world and even contracted with the enemies that we were trying to keep out. Luckily they never attacked and were kept at bay by our allies." Tenaya explained

Jack nodded and looked at the girl, "Alright Tenaya, why were you being attacked by those people."

"My brother and I are relief workers from the only surviving city. I was supposed to stay with the car while my brother went looking for more supplies. I heard what sounded like a child crying so I ventured away from the car. I was then attacked by those people who don't understand that we can't carry an unlimited amount of food in our trunk." Tenaya explained but then panicked, "My brother! I need to get back before he returns, he worries about me so much!"

Tenaya lunged to her feet but stumbled back down from the pain that came from her injuries.

Jonas grabbed her, "we can take you back to your brother, can you help us?"

Jack shook his head, "She is blind how can she help us?"

Tenaya crossed her arms and pouted, "I do have a sense of direction and if you can just get me back to the cliffs where I was being attacked I can point you in the direction that I came from."

Teal'c helped Tenaya to her feet and guided her back over the sand dunes towards the cliffs where they had found her. At the cliffs Tenaya spun around slowly before panicking, "The Sun has already set!"

"The Sun has only just recently set," Teal'c informed Tenaya.

Tenaya shook her head, "No we need to get out of here now, it isn't safe after dark, those raiders that attacked me were brazen. Most do not come out till after dark and when they do anything goes, there are no rules." Tenaya looked around, "which way did the sun just set? I walked towards the sun to get where I was attacked. My car should be on the other side of the dunes, it will be tight but we should be safe there for the night. The nomads don't try to get into anything that is locked."

Jonas pointed them in the direction Tenaya announced that she had come from so they started walking towards the sand dune.

Crossing over the sand dune Jack made out the shape that rested at the bottom of the dune. "Carter is that what I think it is?"

Sam gazed at the shape and nodded her head, "it certainly does look like a car."

"If you tell me that we have somehow wound up in some weird future I am going to seriously hurt you." Jack shook his head.

"There was no solar activity of any significant magnitude that would have affected the star gate." Sam shook her head before turning to Tenaya, "can you tell us what planet we are on?"

Tenaya twisted her face up with a confused look on her face, "You are on Corinthum of course, are you sure you are all alright?"

"Yes we are alright. We were just checking because no other planet we have traveled to have had cars like what you and your brother own." Jonas explained

Tenaya looked at each of them even though she couldn't see them, "You come from another planet?"

Sam nodded, "Yes we come from Earth, you might know of us as Tau'ri."

"I know of Earth, not as much as some of my friends but I know enough. I know that Earth is held in regards as the mother world which we came from." Tenaya nodded as they stood on the edge of the sand dunes.

Teal'c caught sight of a figure moving towards them from the other side of the dune. The person saw them standing there and began to run to the car. When he saw that the car was empty he yelled out Tenaya's name in panic.

Tenaya called out, "Dillon, I am here."

Dillon ran up the bank and took his sister by her arms, "Tenaya I told you to stay in the car!"

Jonas stepped forward, "we saved your sister, she had been taken by some raiders as she called them."

Dillon looked them over and cursed under his breath, "You aren't raiders yourselves are you?"

Tenaya placed a hand on Dillon's shoulder, "they come from the Mother world, they are from Earth."

Dillon shook his head in shock, "How the hell did you get here from Earth? Space traffic has been on hold since the Venjix virus over took us."

"We came by the stargate." Sam tried to explain, "It is this large circular device and it can connect to any world that may have a stargate on it."

Dillon shook his head, "you will have to explain this to the Colonel and the leaders of the city. I don't know if I could even begin to understand it." He then looked at his sister, "And you need to get looked at, some of your injuries are troubling."

"I am fine, Dillon, don't make a big fuss over me. I don't like it." Tenaya shook her head

"It is my job as your big brother to watch over you. This isn't the world we grew up knowing and it can be dangerous and unforgiving to people as special as you." Dillon shook his head before addressing the group, "It will be a tight fit but we should be able to fit in our car for the drive back to Corinth. If we leave now we should be there by sun up."

Getting to the car Dillon instructed that SG1 climb into the back and attempt to make them somewhat comfortable however Tenaya climbed in after three people had made their way into the backseat, "You can sit next to me Jonas, there is enough room up front for one person."

"Tenaya, they can all fit in the back." Dillon nodded

"I insist that someone sit here next to me." Tenaya frowned, "I will sit next to you and they can sit next to the door."

Dillon nodded and climbed into the driver's seat.

Tenaya closed her eyes, "will you tell us more about Earth? All we have are fairy tales that are thousands' of years old."

Sam leaned forward, "What do you know about Earth? Do you know how your people got here?"

Jack shook his head, "Carter it is obvious they were brought here by the Goa'uld!"

Sam shook her head, "No sir it is not exactly probable. If this was a Goa'uld world then the address would appear on the Goa'uld cartouches but this doesn't it only appears on the ancient cartouche."

"Major Carter is indeed correct. This world is far from any known Goa'uld controlled space." Teal'c added in.

Tenaya tilted her head, "I know that Earth is our mother world and that the Eltarians brought us here almost 9,000 years ago. But other than that I don't know too much."

Jonas nodded his head, "Do you know how these Eltarians brought your people here?"

Dillon spoke up, "We came here in the great ship that we named this world after. Nine Thousand years ago the Eltarians sent to Earth a great domed ship and selected people from all over the world to travel on it. We called the ship Corinth and the city that existed in the ship still lives on today and was even our safe haven during the war. Nowadays we called it the domed city of Corinth but the existence is the same."

Just as the sun began to peak over the hills Dillon drove the car over a dune that allowed them to see the early morning light glint over the dome.

Jonas shook his head and smiled, "it is amazing!"

"That thing is a ship?" Jack asked as he leaned forward

Tenaya nodded her head, "Corinth is capable of being sealed and environmentally pressurized. If you enter the underground compartments under the city you will find the engine cores."

Dillon nodded as well, "although the engine cores have been stripped down and now function as a prison. However before that was done it was determined long ago that the ship would never fly again. The cells of the engines were only meant to make one journey and that was to get us from Earth to here."

Dillon pushed the car onward towards the dome and the open gates that no longer needed to be closed although they were guarded in order to keep an eye out for any nomads or raiders who might mean Corinth harm.

Tenaya looked towards her brother, "Are we going to the school or the garage?"

"I am taking you right to the garage. It is still early so I hope Dr. K and Ziggy are still there. If not I will go to the school and bring them back." Dillon replied as they drove down the street inside the city walls.

SG1 noted how normal this city looked even by earth standards. The city was well maintained and every now and then there were cars parked on the curb outside of residences. Some things were off compared to a city on Earth but most things lined up with an uncanny similarity right down to early morning joggers jogging with their dogs down the sidewalks.

Dillon turned the car into an ally and then into a large open building which aside from additional features in the building it looked like it served as a garage complete with all the tools needed to repair cars of various sizes. There were two other cars and a motor cycle lined up facing another door in the garage.

Dillon spoke to Tenaya, "Scott, Flynn and Summer are all here so I am guessing that Gem and Gemma are as well."

"It has been a while since we were all together." Tenaya smiled before addressing Jonas and the rest of SG1, "lately it is usually just Summer around here. Flynn is in charge of rebuilding our computer network while Scott, Gem and Gemma are a part of our premier military group known as Eagle squadron."

Twin doors slid apart at the sound of their arrival and a girl who couldn't be out of her late teens walked through the doors wearing a lab coat. SG1 had to wonder if this was Summer or Gemma. They never expected Dillon to climb out of the car and address the person as Dr. K.

Tenaya groaned as she slid across the seat that was vacated by her brother and felt her way over to the two of them.

"I was surprised to hear you drive in. I was told you had been receiving the relief supplies that have been sent out to you." The person explained with authority in her voice. "What happened to you Tenaya?"

Dillon shrugged, "She had a run in with some nomadic raiders yesterday. This group of soldiers rescued her." Dillon pointed to SG1 as they took the cue to climb out of the car, "I brought them back to the city because their story needs to be heard by the leadership committee. Do you think that can be arranged Doc?"

"First I need to check them out. You know all visitors to the city need to be checked out. All we need is for Venjix to be hiding in some hybrid." Dr. K clicked her tongue as she reached for a scanner on a table behind her.

The girl approached them, "I see it in your eyes that you are confused about who I might be. I am Dr. K and yes I am a real doctor. I need to scan you to make sure you are not hybrids here to take over the city." She held out a scanner and scanned each member of SG1 but evidently nothing in their bodies made her scanner go off. "Apparently you all are human or at least organic. The scanner is confused about you." She pointed to Teal'c, "but none the less you don't have any mechanical parts."

Dr. K turned towards Tenaya, "You need to get into the lab so that I can have a look at you." Dr. K took Tenaya's arm and led her into the large adjacent room.

Dillon stood with them and crossed his arms. A few minutes later there was noise above their heads as a person came down the metal cat walk that lined the walls of the second story. A woman with bronze hair came down the stairs and took Dillon's hand.

"Hi I am Summer, I heard some commotion out here so I came down to check it out."

Jack stepped forward and made the introductions, "I am Colonel Jack O'Neill, this is Major Samantha Carter, the big guy is Teal'c and then there is Jonas." Each member of them team acknowledged Summer and Dillon as they were introduced.

"They claim to have come from Earth." Dillon replied to Summer, "I don't know if I should believe it or not. No one has ever met anyone from Earth.

"I have but only once." Summer said looking at Dillon before smiling, "A few years before the virus my parents took me on a vacation to KO-35. There are a few people from Earth living on that planet; most of them serve with the rangers. I got to meet one but only because my parents viewed her as successful. They treat rangers differently on KO-35; they are public members of their military there is no greater title than to earn the title of ranger."

"How come you never told me before about your off world vacations?" Dillon asked with a surprised tone in his voice.

"I never said anything and you never asked. I don't like flaunting my former wealth around." Summer shrugged.

"This KO-35 how far from here is it?" Sam asked curiously wanting to know if she could figure out if they could find this planet and the reported people from Earth.

"I don't know the distance, I only know it took about a week but our cruiser that was rented for us didn't move at top speeds, speeds reserved for military craft." Summer shrugged, "I do know that GSA space is quite vast and is only interrupted by the Onyxian sector where it is reported all that is evil lives. And that Earth is on the edge of GSA space."

Jonas tilted his head, "What is the GSA?"

A man wearing red came down the stairs, "GSA is the Galactic Space Alliance and all worlds that make up the GSA call themselves by another name, our military on Corinthum is Corinthum Space Alliance even though we technically aren't in space yet we still participate in the program."

Summer nodded, "That is Scott Truman and what he said pretty much explains it all, he is Colonel Truman's son by the way."

A man dressed in blue came out of a room that was off the balcony and to SG1's surprise spoke in what sounded like a Scottish accent. "What is this entire Ruckus out here?"

"We have visitors Flynn." Scott said with a glance in their direction.

"Well visitors are good; we don't get many of those anymore." Flynn said as he joined the rest of them on the main floor. "Does anyone want a smoothie?"

Two people of Asian descent came running in the side door and the girl kissed Flynn on the cheek before addressing Flynn, "Can we have…"

"A smoothie please?" The boy finished for the girl.

Scott smirked, "Meet the boom twins Gem and Gemma. They are actually quite brilliant and some of the best fighters I have on Eagle Squadron despite their childish tendencies."

Gem held out his hand, "Nice to…"

"Meet you!" Gemma finished for her brother, "If you are new here…"

"Welcome to Corinth!" Gem said finishing the next sentence for his sister.

Dr. K called out, "Gem, Gemma could you help me with something?"

Gem and Gemma ran into the lab area with a high five to each other.

Jonas shook his head, "well that was…" Jonas couldn't think of a word that seemed appropriate.

"Down right strange?" Jack replied

A boy in green came out of the lab, "Don't worry you get used to it. They aren't as strange as some things we have seen around here."

Summer shook her head as she threw a box of rags at the boy, "That is Ziggy and he is just leaving, it is his turn to wash the laundry."

"Uh no I believe it is your turn Summer!" Ziggy said as he picked up the box that he had fumbled to catch.

Summer slit her eyes and glared, "No Ziggy it is your turn."

"Ok I get the drift. Dillon is here and you want to spend time with him!" Ziggy made a quick exit as he took the laundry and gathered up anything else that was laying around.

"Are you all making nice?" Tenaya asked as she made a return back out the garage with Dr. K, Gem and Gemma.

Dr. K looked at Dillon, "I just told your sister this but you need to avoid fights. It is especially crucial that you follow my instructions. Tenaya was very lucky this time, her injuries could have been so much worse and worse you could have been further out in the wastelands!"

Dillon seemed to cower from Dr. K but stayed silent as he took a protective stand next to Tenaya and regarded SG1 with his original mild disdain.

Gem started to explain, "We have been in contact with Colonel Truman …"

"And he is waiting to meet with you." Gemma finished

Scott nodded, "Where does my dad want to meet with them?"

Gemma started, "City…"

"Hall!" Gem finished

Flynn handed the twins smoothies before grabbing a set of keys, "I will drive."

Tenaya broke from her brother and felt her way to the blue hummer like vehicle and climbed into the passenger side. "I am riding with Flynn!" She smiled with a look of Mischief as she strapped herself in.

Flynn opened the back door to reveal two rows of seats that faced each other, "You can ride along." He said as he acknowledged SG1.

SG1 climbed in and Flynn crossed his arms, "This isn't Dillon's Fury you need to harness up when riding in a car in Corinth!"

Everyone reached for the harnesses attached to their seat and Jack looked at the straps, "A little over kill don't you think?"

"Four point harnesses are the minimum requirement here on Corinthum." Scott said as he opened the driver's door of his car with Summer climbing into his passenger seat while Dillon took Gem and Gemma in his car.

Tenaya glanced back, "what kind of harnesses do you use on Earth?"

Jack grinned even though he knew she couldn't see him but Sam quickly intervened, "Most cars use a three point belt that we call a seatbelt, although some racecar drivers wear up to a six point harness."

Jonas turned to look towards Flynn, "So is there a reason why your accent is different than the rest of your friends?"

Flynn started his vehicle and nodded, "Corinth is a very diverse city as a result of the evacuations from all over our world. We have many different ethnic groups that were brought into this city."

SG1 soon learned that driving was much different than it was on Earth. Although not as extreme as the driving Dillon had done coming through the wastelands it was still a much rougher ride than if they had been driving down a street on Earth. There didn't seem to be as many stop signs although people were courteous of everyone else driving on the street and of pedestrians.

They pulled into a parking lot where a well-built man stood on the curb in a grey uniform. Scott walked up to the man and saluted him before turning to everyone else, "May I introduce Colonel Mason Truman the highest ranking surviving member of the CSA and as such the Commander of the Corinth City Defense force otherwise known as the CCD."

Jack stepped forward, "Colonel Jack O'Neill of Earth and may I introduce Major Dr. Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn."

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Why don't we step into the council hall and we can discuss matters of your unexpected but not unwelcome visit to our city." Colonel Truman replied as he showed them inside to a room with a long meeting table inside.

"I apologize for the arrangements of our meeting place." Colonel Truman explained as they came inside, "Our command headquarters was destroyed in Venjix' final attack on our city and we don't yet have a formal meeting place to replace that. We have had other priorities."

"I understand." Jack nodded, "we have seen some alternative arrangements made on other worlds that we have visited."

"So you are really from Earth?" Colonel Truman asked

"Indeed we are." Teal'c nodded his head

"And how is it that you got here?" Colonel Truman asked in awe.

"We traveled through a device that we know of as a Stargate." Sam started to explain, "It is a huge ring that has different constellations engraved on the rim of the gate. When the gate is activated by entering a set of coordinates it connects to a gate that is on another planet."

"That is amazing and we have one of these gates here on Corinthum?" Colonel Truman enquired.

"Yes it is out in what you call the wastelands a couple of hours near some cliffs" Jonas said pointing in the direction he thought it was in.

Dillon shook his head, "We were out by Guiled Ridge which is in that direction." Dillon pointed in the opposite direction.

"What he said." Jack nodded

Colonel Truman shook his head, "It must have been buried under Ridge city."

"Well there wasn't any city there it was just sand and more sand." Jack shook his head

"When Venjix attacked he destroyed entire cities." The Colonel responded, "Tenaya do you know if Venjix knew anything of this stargate?"

Tenaya shook her head, "I don't recall anything ever having been said but I also can't recall the last couple of months of my forced servitude to the virus. If it was uncovered by Venjix chances are it was most likely by accident. If we had no knowledge of such a device then he wouldn't either."

"How come he didn't destroy this stargate alongside the city then?" Dillon asked leaning forward

Sam shook her head, "Chances are he wasn't able to. There are very few things that can destroy a stargate. It is made of a very heavy element we call Naquadah."

"Well whoever designed this stargate must have been very powerful." Colonel Truman nodded his head.

"We believe they were constructed by a race of beings that we believe were called the Ancients. We came here hoping to find some clue to these ancients as this world was in a list given to us created by that race." Sam explained

"We do not know of a race known as the Ancients." Scott shook his head.

Jonas tilted his head, "Is there anywhere on this world or even this ship that might have some ancient form of writing that I could have a look at?"

Colonel Truman shook his head, "I personally toured this location when we looked at sealing ourselves in here to wait out the virus and there is none of that. Our legends tell that this world was chosen for us and this ship was made with our people in mind. All instructions are written in a language that we have used at different points in our history. Most people today can even still read and write the dialogue." Colonel Truman handed a large book over to them, "this is everything that is written on any control panel in this structure. You can feel free to take a look at it. I have another copy so spend as much time as you need looking over the book. I don't know if you will find anything interesting though."

Jonas flipped through the book and nodded, "Would you mind if I took this back to Earth?"

"No be my guest, we want to be as helpful as possible. It has been a dream of many of ours to one day interact with the people of Earth." Colonel Truman nodded as Jonas put the book in his side bag. "Tell me more about this stargate is travel completely safe, are all worlds friendly?"

"Many of the worlds that have stargates are ruled by a race known as the Goa'uld." Teal'c replied flatly.

"Scott sat upright, "What are the Goa'uld? Are they a peaceful race?"

"Like hell they are a peaceful race. They are parasitic aliens who take human's as hosts and then rule over entire worlds pretending to be Gods," Jack shook his head

Summer covered he mouth in horror, "Could they come here?"

"Indeed they could if they ever got wind of your advanced civilization. They have tried to attack Earth numerous times and even ruled Earth for many centuries." Teal'c replied

"Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves? I think in the future the stargate might be an interesting way to explore our galaxy. But at this time I do not believe we could spare the resources that would be required to defend our world."

"You could bury your stargate but that wouldn't stop an air attack." Sam described, "However we were told that you have allies who protect your space from enemy attack so that may help somewhat."

"Your planet is also far from Goa'uld space so it would take many years to get here" Teal'c responded

"Then it is settled, we will bury our gate until we are more able to defend ourselves." Colonel Truman nodded, "Is there a way that we could get in touch with you if and when we unbury the gate?"

Sam copied down the coordinates to dial Earth on a piece of paper alongside the point of origin for Corinthum. "When you are ready please do not send anyone through to our gate. We have an impenetrable shield that covers the stargate when we are not using it. Send us a radio message and we will come through your gate and make contact with you."

Colonel Truman took the paper and folded it up, "I will place this in my personal vault. I will not let anyone have it until we are ready to make contact."

General Hammond nodded his head, "So they decided to bury their gate."

"Yes but they seemed hopeful that they will be able to reopen it sometime in the near future." Sam responded.

"I found it hinky that they didn't want too much from us." Jack responded shaking his head.

Jonas shook his head, "I don't think it was suspicious at all. They are a proud people who have just won a war against technology. They acknowledged their mistakes, they seem to have the natural resources needed to keep on surviving and they already have space allies who appear to be rather powerful."

"I would like to investigate more into these allies. Maybe they will be able to help us out." General Hammond enquired, "I am also curious to find out more about these people from Earth you learned about that live on the world they know of as KO-35."

"I am already extrapolating potential locations of this world. We don't know what their spaceflight capabilities are so it could be anywhere really." Sam responded as she pointed to her work on the white board which was an incomplete equation.

AN: I know this story leaves a lot of unanswered questions but it is just the first chapter to a much larger story which is a long time in the making. I have had bits and pieces to this story for several years now and I knew I wanted to do a story like this but as I said before I started rewatching Lost Galaxy. I couldn't stand that season before but suddenly with the vision of Corinth it started to fall into place.

I have shifted the timeline quite a bit on the Power Rangers side of the story but Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis which will be implied in future stories is fairly canon. As all the pieces will fall into place eventually I cannot promise when the next chapter will be out. I hope that the pieces for it will fall into place rather quickly.

What is going to happen though is now the SGC is aware of another intergalactic alliance and they are going to scramble to look for it; future chapters will demonstrate this fact. Little does the SGC know is that the answers lie inside their own organization and that the answers are at their fingertips.

Here are some changes to expect from the rangers side of the story: the timeline has been shifted three years earlier so that the rangers debuted in 1990. Countdown took place in 1995. SPD happens concurrent with the rest of PR timeline. Corinth is obviously on another planet and Terra Venture has not left Earth yet. PR characters will be mostly true to their original identities up till Samurai and from there I will be taking a creative license. If you are not familiar with Sentai series that were not adapted you might want to at least be familiar with their suit designs as some of them will be making an appearance. The planet of Onyx will be in a sector known as the Onyxian sector and Zordon's wave did not touch there in fact Zordon's wave only purged the evil that was actively attacking during Countdown and it wasn't meant to stop the war only slow it down and allow more rangers to be active in fighting future battles.

This brings me to my mention of the GSA. I know that in the show the GSA was an Earth based military that was in charge of Terra Venture. For the purposes of this story the GSA is the intergalactic alliance that is made up of all races aligned with the Eltarians, inside the GSA are smaller independent militaries such as the Kerovian Space Alliance (KSA) the Triforian Space Alliance (TSA) the Aquitian Space Alliance (ASA) etc.
