"Lt. Commander Tiffany Jefferson's log Stardate 66103.43185565717, we are scheduled to meet the Warrior at Starbase 12 to dock with the ship and proceed out on our first 5 year mission on the ship. We just left Alpha Centauri with three cadets from the Starfleet Academy, who wants to be part of our crew aboard the Warrior for their first training with active officers in the field. Our course will take us close to Altair IV to pick up Ensign Andrew Stout."
Lt. Commander Tiffany Jefferson plotted a course to Altair IV with Lt. Lea Waterson sitting at the ops Lt. Iris Grant sitting at Science/Tactical, and three cadets Ashton Ghilrist, and Codie Ryder, and Oscar Godfrey are sitting in the lounge getting familiar with the Warrior's specs and design for when they arrive on the ship. The last crewmember they are picking up before returning to the ship is Ensign Andrew Stout was on Altair IV doing some research.
Tiffany ask everyone the runabout to join and eat dinner in the lounge since it was getting on to dinner time for them and rotating of flight operations on the shuttle since it will take about a day and half to arrive at Altair IV at warp 5 to reach the destination. When the runabouts complement arrived in to the lounge they began talk about their vacations before proceeding to join the Warriors crew.
"So cadets what are you looking forward to being crew members aboard the Warrior?"
Cadet Ashton Ghilrist replied "I'm interested in being able to study under the chief engineer and learn how to be a chief engineer when I reach the right ranks and learn the skills needed."
Cadet Codie Ryder replied "I'm interested in learning command and leadership, I would like to command my own ship one day."
Finally cadet Oscar Godfrey replied, with "I don't not know which path I would like to pursue as an officer of Starfleet. That's why I would want to have a chance of each path before I feel relaxed and calm in the position." Ashton asked an interesting to Tiffany "What got you to join Starfleet Tiffany?" "Well Ashton, I join Starfleet because there was a calling inside me and said my skills would be very useful to whatever comes up in our current mission when we meet up with the Warrior" "What do you mean by that?" Codie asked.
"Well I have a gut instinct that we are going to enter what looks like a wormhole and send us back in time to earth but not of this year but another year in the past and we are need to help someone but that's all I know." "WOW! Tiffany that really interesting, but how do you know what's going to happen." "I do not know cadet but all I know is that we have to do that but I do not know if we will be able to return to our present timeline." "Lea can you cover the helm until we arrive at Altair IV?" Lea replied, "Yes I can Tiffany."

As it got on to 1800 hour Runabout Galileo finally arrived in orbit of Altair IV. "Lea to Tiffany, please report to the cockpit we have arrived at Altair IV." Tiffany plotted a landing course to land the runabout near the archaeological site where Andrew was doing some research on the planet when some mysterious objects appeared on the planet out of know where. Andrew started searching where did the objects come from but he noticed that the artifacts had early Egyptian hieroglyphs on the objects but he wondered how or why they appeared on the planet. When he took the tricorder to the first object, which looked like a canopic jar from over 10,000 years old, it did not have any of the markings that it belonged on Altair IV but looked like it belonged on earth. As he continued to scan all the artifacts one of them read please deliver this to the Tau'ri the team called SG-1 will know what to do but he was wonder what or who the inscription was any talking about and when was this planted on this planet. He also found a sarcophagus and was wondering who or what was inside sarcophagus from what the tricorder was displaying on the screen it was showing a wired life form attached to the humanoid's lower neck.
"Tiffany to Andrew how is the archaeological dig going?"
"I am just about finished here and ready to return to the shuttle. I did however found some unusual artifacts on the planet and one the items had a message for a team called SG-1 in the glyphs on the artifact. And then a sarcophagus with a humanoid life form inside."
"Can you land the shuttle I would like to take some of the artifacts I found to study more closely when we get aboard the Warrior?"
"Permission granted Andrew, follow standard quarantine procedures."
The runabout Galileo finally landed, Andrew Loaded asked for help to load all the objects into the cargo hold for study in the science lab on the runabout. Andrew cataloged all the objects into the Galileo's cargo hold manifest describing each of the artifacts that looked like early Egyptian artifacts found on earth but how did they appear on Altair IV. The list comprised two Canopic jars fully intact, some Naquadah, ten Zat'nik'tel, and humanoid life form inside a sarcophagus, which he could not explain why they were on the planet.
"All artifacts secured in the cargo hold, and ready for departure."
"Tiffany to all the occupants of the runabout Galileo prepare for departure for Starbase 12."

As Lea sat at the science station the panel started to blink with temporal rift warning on the screen she turned to Tiffany. "Tiffany, I'm detecting a rift of the port bow it looks like it is forming next science module."
"What do you mean a temporal rift forming?" "Tiffany to Andrew" "Tiffany here one of the artifacts is acting up with some unusual particles in space forming around us." "Cadet Codie prep two Class 6 warning buoy probes set one for a course to earth and the other of planetary warning of sector is experiencing ruptures in subspace and time distortions. In the probe bound for earth include the list of artifacts that Andrew found on the surface as well." "Warning buoys prepped Tiffany" "Lea, Launch the probes now." "Warning buoys, away." "It looks like gravimetrics distortions are pulling us into the rift, all hands brace for temporal wakes wave and possible power loss in the runabout as we enter the rift."
