"Close the door!" Rodney whipered urgently.
"Why?" Jack asked while Ronon closed the door.
"Lifesigns detector detects 50 lifesigns coming this way" Rodney explained.
"Oh, so that's where they've been"
The 50 lifesigns walked straigth past them and entered the gateroom.
"This could be a problem" Sheppard noted.
"Indeed, 50 Ori soldiers is a formidable force" Teal'c agreed.
"Wait, wait, 30 or so are disappearing... I think they're going through the gate" Rodney said.
"That's good isn't it?" Sheppard said.
"Except when they're heading back to the Falcon" Luke answered.
"They got a stationary turret in there don't they? And I left them with an anti-prior device" Sam replied although not entirely confident they could handle it alone.
"Anyways let's get going , I don't wanna stick around here too long. What do we know about the tangos inside the gate room? Any priors with em?" Jack queried.
"I could take a look if that vent shaft leads where I think it goes'" Fisher replied.
"I could just send a Delfly sir?" Sam asked.
"Do it Carter" Jack ordered.
"Damnit, recon doesn't seem to be neccessary anymore these days" Fisher thought in himself.
"Cam shows 4 priors, the rest ordinary soldiers. I think we got a problem sir, the prior-inhibiting devices can only jam 1 frequency at a time, if we get the one from the powercore we're still 1 short if we want to block the Ori as well." Sam reported.
"Could they detect grenades strapped to a Sodan cloaking device?" Daniel suggested.
"We don't have much of those do we?" Jack said.
"Luke you brought those cryoban grenades?"
"Yep got two of them"
"Cryoban grenades?" Jack asked.
"Cryoban grenades rapidly cause everything to freeze in a four meter radius, by use of a supercooled liquid that freezes on contact. We theorised the priors wouldn't see it as an explosive if they detected it, and they'd be pretty surprised, and thus distracted, when they explode" Luke explaind.
"So if we send in Mckay, Teyla and Daniel who each place a grenade near a prior and then run away, Luke could do his lightsabering, we shoot the surviving priors while they're distracted. Did I miss anything?" Jack suggested.
"Ehm I don't think so sir" Sam said.
"Good plan sir" Sheppard said.
"Indeed" Teal'c agreed.
"OK let's do it then, be sure to move out of the way after placing the grenades so we have a clear shot" Jack ordered.
The door to the gateroom opened, the priors and soldiers looked up but saw nothing. Suddenly 3 round objects appeard at the feet of the priors. A prior picked up one of the grenade, not sensing an explosive but a super-cooled liquid. The grenades exploded and the middle of the large room where the priors were standing became filled with ice. The priors were frozen in to their waist, the one who had picked up the grenade was frozen completely.
Before the priors had the chance to use their powers to remove the ice, Luke jumped in with his lightsaber buzzing, while the others opened fire with their P90's. The bullets all stopped in mid air, but Luke sabered 3 in a violent fury of light before the last one was able to block his saber with the prior staff. The Ori soldiers stood stunned, partially from the cryobans and partially from the death of 3 priors.
"Those who are prideful and refuse the light of the Ori, shall be made low onto dust"
"They really love that line don't they?"Jack said sarcastically.
"You don't need to do this. If the Ori were gods how can it be we are alive?" Luke tried to convince the prior.
"We are mere mortals.. we cannot begin to question those with the knowledge and understanding of the infinite universe" the Prior spoke.as he swivelled his staff away from the stalemate to bring it onto Luke. Luke blocked and moved away making a 360 to add power to his blow but the prior blocked. Luke thought about his previous fights with Dark Jedi, this one was a not too shabby swordsman.
Suddenly the prior's head went to an awkward angle, further till it had made a 180 degree turn. The prior fell to the ground as Teyla decloacked.
"Thought you could use the help"
"Thanks, he's pretty good" Luke thanked.
One of the Ori soldiers opened fire on Luke, but he directed it back at the soldier. Instinctly a few other soldiers opened fire as well and subsequently were shot.
"We're lucky the other half of the soldiers are still frozen in" Sam noted.
"Yeah" Jack agreed while knocking on the ice. "Sheppard get in the jumper, the rest of us will go by foot. "Daniel dial the gate".
Dantooine
The gate activated, a jumper flew out, and the others stared in the barrels of 16 rifles.
"Uhm hi?" Jack said.
The men lowered their rifles and one stepped forward throwing a salute. It was only then they noticed bodies of numerous Ori warriors on the ground around the gate.
"Sergeant Blakely, SpecForce Pathfinders, sir, welcome back"
"It seems you've had something on your hand sergeant" Luke replied.
"Not really, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if it were right in front of their noses sir"
"Carter see if you can find a way to disable that supergate" Jack ordered.
"Yes sir" Sam replied as she sat down at a fallen tree and got her laptop out.
"Let me have a look" Rodney said.
"They've removed the ability to dial out with this supergate" Sam noticed.
"Yes obviously, there's no circuitry for it" Rodney marked.
"But I think we can disable it if we detonate a slightly modified Mark IX strapped to a Stargate at a specific point in that section over here" Sam said.
"It'll trigger an overload in the supergate's energy buffer making a few of the sections explode and the rest disconnect each other" Rodney followed up with her race of thoughts.
"Which will destroy the Ori ships, they'll never know what hit em!" Sam continued.
"Uhm folks, I miss one thing here, if we blow the gate, how are we going to go back home?" Jack asked.
"We can set the Mark IX on a time-delay, have the Falcon and the Republic's ships jump to hyperspace as soon as we're through the gate." Sam replied.
"You sure you calculated the detonation power right? If you get it wrong.." Rodney critised, and Sam gave him a "I got a 92FS strapped to my leg want to find out if it's loaded?" look in response.
So why didn´t we try this with the gate in our universe?" Jack asked.
"That one is an older version, they made a design flaw in the new supergate"
"Sweet, let's do it then, Sheppard, take your team through the gate, have Mckay make the modifications and send it to us" Jack ordered.
"Yes sir, we're on our way" Sheppard confimed.
"Fisher, go with em as well, guess we'll see you around?"
"Guess you can beam me up if you need me, see ya around next time you're in trouble" Fisher responded.
"That'd be like, tomorrow wouldn't it?" Daniel said.
Han and Leia came walking out of the Falcon just as Sheppard, his team and Fisher had left.
"See you're all back" Han said cheerfully.
"Glad to see you all OK" Leia added.
Space, nearby Dantooine
Soon they were in orbit above the planet, SG1 in the jumper with the modified Mark IX, Han, Lei and Chewie in the Falcon which used it's docking clamp to take the gate along.
"We're in position, releasing the gate now" Han sounded over the comm.
"Copy that, commencing EVA" Jack confirmed.
"I'm ready" Sam stood in the back in EVA suit she got from Han, far less clunky than an Earth suit.
"You sure about that magnetic doohickey? There's so much wrong with there not being any glass on that helmet" Jack remarked.
"I'll be fine sir" Sam replied as Teal'c closed the mid section door of the jumper.
"You okay Sam?" Daniel asked over the radio.
"Yeah, this feels way more natural than one of our suits" Sam answered.
Sam attached the Mark IX with two straps of duct tape, then fastned the gate to the Ori supergate. After that she went back inside.
"Repressurizing complete" Teal'c opened the door.
Sam opened a comm channel. "I set the timer to 1 minute as you told me, do you have the activation and deactivation commands?"
"Yep got em, thanks for the help, guess we won't be seeing you folks again though" Han said over the comm.
"You never know where we pop up. Goodbye folks." Jack closed the comm. "Daniel, dial the gate".
On a 737 from Colorado to Washington
"Would you like to watch a movie Mr. Fisher?" A stewardess asked.
"No thanks." Fisher replied.
"Not a movie from Maryland, sir?"
"You watched mission impossible?"
"It was that obvious?"
"Yeah, now let's see if what I got to save this time"
Carter's lab, SGC, 13:30 Next day.
"Hey Carter, wanna go fishing? Teal'c and Daniel are already picking up Daniel's fishing gear" Jack asked.
"Well I'm just going over the schematics of the supergate, sir" Carter replied.
"Carter, you got to take a day off sometime.."
'"OK then, it was fun last time sir.."
An alarm went off, followed shortly by Walter's voice over the comm.
"Unscheduled offworld activation, Generals O'neill and Landry to the gateroom"
"Whenever you want to take a day off sir.."
"Yeah" Jack said as he made his way to the gateroom.
The End.
