At (P4x79?)

Teal'c looked at the small orb in the screen. "We have arrived," he announced.

Everyone aboard crowded into the cockpit to get a glimpse at the planet. Carter gazed in awe at the planet. Although she had traveled to this particular planet on several occasions, it had always been through the Stargate. She had never seen the planet from space. It was almost like looking at Earth for the first time. The forget-me-not blue of the oceans mixed in with the subtle green of the land was quite a sight to see, along with the restless swirling mass of white clouds. Bratak broke the silence that had engulfed them. "Sensors?" he asked.

Teal'c looked down at his instruments and replied, "I am not detecting any enemy vessels."

"They could be cloaked," Jackson offered.

Bratak sagely nodded his head. "We must proceed with caution."

They traveled in silence for several minutes, scanning the space for any sign of an enemy. "There," Teal'c finally said, pointing at the planet. His gesture proved to be unnecessary for everyone soon saw it. In the northeastern area of the planet, a black dot eclipsed the green of the planet. At first it was only a small speck against the vast sea of green and blue, but as they drew near, the black smudge grew in size until it became a ship, and it was very big, larger than any ship they had previously encountered. Carter couldn't believe the size of it.

"Raise shields," Bratak commanded.

"Shields at full," responded Teal'c.

"Is it on the sensors?" Bratak inquired.

Teal'c shook his head. "No."

"Turn us around," Bratak stated, his vision fixed on the growing black vessel.

Teal'c placed his hands on the red sphere, but nothing happened. They were being drawn towards the ship.

"They must have us in a tractor beam," Jeak'ma said.

"And the hyperspace engines?" Bratak asked.

"Still not functional," Teal'c responded.

"The rings?" Bratak said, trying to seek out his options.

"Also not functioning."

Jackson crossed his arms. "This isn't good."

"We are being scanned," Teal'c reported.

At that moment, throughout the ship, a humming noise could be heard, and just as soon as it came, it stopped. Then there was nothing for several seconds.

"What now?" Jackson asked.

The answer came the next second as a beam of red shot across space towards them.

"They have fired," Teal'c reported calmly. "Brace for impact."

Everyone scrambled for something to hold onto. Carter grabbed a piece that jutted off of the wall. The shot hit the ship so violently that the whole vessel shook. Alarms began to wail, and those who weren't seated (everyone except Teal'c and Bratak) were thrown by the shock.

"The shields are down to eight percent!" Teal'c yelled above the noise.

Jeak'ma scrambled to his feet and ran back to the crystals. The ship groaned and creaked as another powerful shot hit the shields. Again the occupants were thrown about, and smoke began to fill the air from one of the pipes. The ship went dark as the power went out.

"We have lost all power! Shields are down, and life support is failing!" Teal'c reported. "Structural integrity is critical!"

Carter could see it all clearly in her mind despite all the confusion, and knew that the end was near. A part of the wall suddenly blew out into space, and just when all were about to be sucked out into the lifeless void of space, the world went white all around them.
