As O'Neill, Mitchell and Alisana run back through the corridors, the others are still in the power room, standing still and in shock at what they see standing in the doorway, the alien is around 4 feet tall, has black skin, a thin skinny body and a large head with big eyes, it resembles the appearance of an Asgard.
Vala slightly leans over to Daniel, "Why is it just standing there staring at us?" she whispers.
"I don't know." replies Daniel.
"Shoo...go away." says Vala, flicking her hand.
"Vala!" says Daniel through his teeth.
"What?. It's freaking me out." she replies.
Daniel does his 'Vala you're so annoying look' then leans towards Carter, "Maybe we should try talking to it." he whispers.
Carter gently points towards the alien, "Knock yourself out." she says.
Daniel takes a breath and then steps forward a few feet, "Erm Hi...I'm Daniel...Daniel Jackson." he says.
The alien looks at him with curiosity but doesn't reply.
"Can you understand me?." asks Daniel, "Are you Asgard?" he asks.
He still gets no reply, Mitchell, O'Neill and Alisana come running around the corner of the corridor , they skid to a stop when they see the alien, the alien turns around when it hears them.
"Wooahw." says Mitchell, as he and O'Neill raise and aim their P90s.
"Don't don't don't...don't shoot." shouts Daniel lifting his arms.
"Where the heck did that come from." says O'Neill, looking in shock at the alien.
The alien just looks at them for a moment and then starts slowly walking towards them, O'Neill braces his P90, "Hey hey hold it." he shouts, the alien continues walking.
"General." says Mitchell, unsure what action to take.
"Stay right there." shouts O'Neill.
As the alien gets closer, O'Neill fires a warning shot in front of it near its feet, the alien stops walking and quickly looks at the floor where the bullet hit and then looks back up at O'Neill, it then turns and runs off down another corridor, Mitchell and O'Neill run forward and as they look down the adjoining corridor they don't see the alien.
"It's alright its gone." says O'Neill, as the others come out of the power room.
"I think you scared it off." says Daniel.
O'Neill looks at Alisana, "Any idea what that was?" he asks.
"No, I've never seen anything like that before." replies Alisana.
"OK...am I the only one who thinks that thing looked like an.." says Mitchell.
"Asgard." says Carter, finishing off his question, "It did look like one." she adds.
"Should we pursue it, O'Neill?" asks Teal'c.
O'Neill thinks for a moment, "No. We need to get to the bridge and contact the Daedalus." he says, "Come on. Watch your six." he adds.
SG-1 make it to the bridge of the ship and with power now restored, with a push of a button the doors open without problem and they go inside, the bridge room is circular, a captains chair sits in the middle of the room with another two seats with consoles sitting in front of it, to the left and right of the room are many consoles and displays running along the walls, there is a large dome shaped window at the front but its covered with a metal shield.
Carter sits at the left console at the front of the bridge, "Systems are coming back online Sir." she says, interacting with the console.
"Do we have communications?" asks O'Neill.
"Yes Sir." says Carter, "They're active now Sir." she adds.
O'Neill stands next to Carter looking at the console and a little confused, "Where's the microphone?" he asks.
Carter smiles, "You can use your radio Sir, I boosted the signal." she says.
"Oh" says O'Neill.
"Daedalus this is O'Neill, do you read?" says O'Neill over his radio.
"This is the Daedalus, good to hear from you General." says Caldwell, "We were getting a little worried about you. How is it going down there?" he adds.
"Well we're alive, Carter managed to get the power going, the ship appears to be in pretty good shape." says O'Neill, "Oh..and we encountered what we think is an Asgard." he says.
"Asgard?" says Caldwell.
"That's what I said...Asgard." replies O'Neill.
"Should I send a team down to assist?" asks Caldwell.
"Err...negative. We're fine for the time being, we just wanted to get communications online so we could let you know what's going on." says O'Neill, "Just keep the channel open and stay close, we'll be in touch." he adds.
"Copy that." says Caldwell.
While Carter gets to work trying to figure out how to salvage the Lantis, Alisana is checking the condition of the ship and its systems, Daniel and Vala are going through the database and logs, Teal'c and Mitchell are by the door, O'Neill has made himself at home in the captains chair.
Suddenly they hear a rumble and scratchy metal sounds, the lights flicker and the ship shakes briefly, it only lasts a few seconds and then stops.
O'Neill gets up from the chair, "Carter?" he says.
Carter is looking up at the ceiling and listening, "It was just a light tremor Sir, seems to have passed." she says.
"Should we be worried?" asks Daniel.
"We'll be fine in here." says Carter.
"I think I found the alien." says Alisana, standing at a console.
O'Neill, Vala and Daniel go over to her, "Where?" asks O'Neill.
Alisana managed to activate the ships internal sensors and apart from their own, she has picked up another life sign, "There it is." she says, pointing at the display, it's a layout of the level they're currently on and shows a round light indicating a life sign in one of the rooms.
"Where is that?" asks O'Neill.
"It's in that lab we were in earlier." replies Alisana.
"Alright, we'll check it out. You lot stay here." says O'Neill, he heads for the door, "Teal'c, Mitchell you're with me." he says, Daniel follows.
They run back down the corridor to the lab room, when they reach it they take positions at either side of the door with their guns at the ready, "Okay, open it up." says O'Neill, Teal'c pushes the button to open the door and it slides open.
Mitchell is the first to swing around with his gun and enter the room, the others follow him in.
"What the hell?!" says O'Neill, looking down at the clean and shiny floor.
"Where did all the glass go." says Mitchell.
"What do you mean...what glass?" asks Daniel.
Mitchell looks at Daniel, "The last time we were in this room we got bombarded with vials from these walls, there was broken glass and liquid everywhere." he says.
The floors are completely clean and there isn't a single piece of glass or drop of liquid anywhere, and all the vials appear to have been replaced in to the side walls.
"Sooo...where's the alien?" asks Daniel, he jumps and turns around when he feels something touch him from behind, "Never mind." he says.
O'Neill and Mitchell aim their guns, Teal'c readies his Zat gun, the alien is standing in the corner of the room near the door and staring at them again, occasionally blinking its eyes and tilting its head.
"Guys I think you should lower your weapons." says Daniel.
"Or not." says O'Neill.
"Jack, I don't think it wants to hurt us." says Daniel, "It doesn't have any weapons." he adds.
"Or pants, apparently." says O'Neill.
Although the alien does resemble and Asgard, it clearly has reproductive organs. (That's all I'll say on that matter).
Daniel approaches the alien but still keeping his distance, "Hi do you remember me..Daniel Jackson." he says, the alien doesn't respond.
"Did you clean up the floor in here?" asks Daniel, "I don't think it understands a word I'm saying." he says.
Suddenly the lights start flickering and the ship shakes again and a loud rumble can heard above them, they hear a loud creaking in the ceiling, "Take cover." shouts Mitchell, as the ceiling begins to buckle and bits of metal fall down, they jump to the floor at the back of the room and place their hands on the back of their heads as the ceiling collapses.
As the rumbling stops they look around and see the crumbled and broken ceiling suspended in the air, "Why aren't we dead?" asks Mitchell, they turn and look over to the alien while getting to their feet, the alien is holding out its hand towards the ceiling.
"Everybody out." says O'Neill, looking puzzled.
They all slowly head out of the room cautiously passing the alien and keeping their eye on the ceiling, as they exit the room the alien comes out behind them, as the doors slide shut the ceiling in the room collapses to the floor.
"I think it just saved our lives." says Daniel, as they all stand looking at the alien.
Carter comes over the radio, "Sir, you need to get back to the bridge." she says.
"On our way." replies O'Neill, he stares at the alien unsure if its friend or foe, "Come on guys lets go." he says to the others and they head back.
They make it back to the bridge and run inside, Carter is stood with Alisana at a console, "What's going on Carter?" asks O'Neill.
"Are you okay?" asks Vala, seeing their hair and uniforms covered in dust.
"Yes, a ceiling collapsed but we're ok." says Daniel.
"Well I managed to get the shields working which should help hold back the rock." says Carter.
"So what's going on?" asks O'Neill, again.
"We were going through the sensors and we found more life signs." says Alisana.
"More aliens...how many life signs?" asks O'Neill.
"At least two hundred" says Carter.
O'Neill shares a look or concern with Mitchell and Teal'c, "Can you close off the area of the ship and contain them?" asks Mitchell.
Carter looks at Alisana, "Well that's the thing...they're not on the ship." says Carter.
"Then where are they?" asks O'Neill.
"Outside." replies Alisana, "Right out there actually." she says, pointing to the bridge window.
"Outside?, I thought we were surrounded by tonnes of rock, how can they be outside?" asks Daniel.
"We're trying to open the bridge shield so we can find out and..." says Carter.
"I've got it...I've got it." says Alisana, interrupting Carter, "Power has been rerouted." she says.
Carter goes over and sits at the left station at the front of the bridge, she finds the control and activates it, a loud jutter is heard and the metal shield covering the dome shaped bridge window slowly begins lifting.
Everyone gathers behind Carter and look towards the window with wonder, the ship lightly shakes as the shield continues to lift up and they see rocks falling and rumbling down around it, they hear another loud noise as the shield fully raises and locks in to place, looking out of the window is like looking at a wall of rock as rocks are still falling in front of the ship.
The number of falling rocks steadily decreases and eventually they stop, a cloud of dust slowly dissipates and their view out of the window becomes clear.
"Oh my God." says Carter.
As they stand looking out of the window in disbelief, they see an opening in the rock in front of them, through it they see a cavern at least two miles wide and across, and at least half a mile high, on the cavern floor they see a large city made of stone, some of it in ruins but most still in tact, rivers and small areas of vegetation are scattered all around.
"It's a city." says Daniel, looking both bemused and excited.
