Part6
SG-1 was battling for their lives. The situation couldn't be worse. O'Neill felt something wrong the moment he walked through the gate and had been looking for any signs of trouble as they started hiking away from it. Then it happened. Staff weapons began firing at them and they dove for cover. Too far and cut off from the gate there would be no turning back and going forward could only get worse. The sheer number of Jaffa was staggering but that was how most system lords won there battle. It was a relief when Hammond said reinforcements would be on the way and had Carter keep an eye on the gate for their arrival so that they could lay down cover fire for them.
"Anything yet?" He yelled over the noise of staff weapon fire.
"No sir, the worm hole is still open but no one has come out yet."
SG-1 concerned about their back up and what was going on all looked toward the Stargate when all of the sudden something that looked like a missile shot out of it. O'Neill thought that that was exactly what it was and was ready to take cover from the impending explosion when the missile started to fire rounds at the Jaffa and swooped past their position. Carter yelled. "It Murphy sir!"
O'Neill looked again in shock and realized she was right. Then he shouted in excitement.
"ALRIGHT MURPHY!" Alright people. Let's give him some cover fire."
Murphy and SG-1 made an excellent team that day. Murphy shot any Jaffa crouched down firing at SG-1 and SG-1 fired at any standing up firing at Murphy. Some Jaffa had the advantage of high brush that SG-1 couldn't see so Murphy laid down some fire from his flame thrower. O'Neill as well as the rest of SG-1had a sinking feeling when the gliders showed up again but Murphy had the upper hand when it came to maneuverability. Two came up behind him. He stopped short and changed direction heading for and between them. He shot the pilot on the right with explosive bullets and used his grenade launcher on the other. Both crashed into the Jaffa below. A third attacked him now also from behind. It fired at Murphy and missed, the shots passing him on both sides. Murphy challenged it head on firing upon it as he went. The glider exploded just as he passed over the top. The remaining pieces hit a line of trees also where Jaffa had been shooting from. Murphy was hit with some of the shrapnel and had to fly through the fireball but came out okay. Another few minutes and the battle was over. Murphy landed and SG-1 came running up to him."
"That was beautiful!" O'Neill shouted. "When we get back I will personally shine that armor of yours."
"That truly was an amazing feat of an aerial assault." Teal'c Announced.
"I think we owe your dimension a bigger payment. Your worth you weight in gold." Daniel Said.
Carter on the other hand was full of questions. "How where you able to maintain trajectory is it tied into the same program as your targeting."
"Carter!... You can read all his tech manuals when the mission is over." Jack said.
It was then Carter noticed the Stargate was still active and mentioned it to O'Neill. O'Neill grabbed the mic hanging on his shoulder.
"SG-1 to SGC copy." O'Neill said.
"Go ahead SG-1." Hammond replied.
"The gate is secure Sir. You should have seen it. Murphy was a fantastic asset." Jack announced.
"We know Colonel. When Murphy flew through the Stargate under his own power I told Davis to keep the gate open as long as passable so we could watch and record the battle from the MALP. Not only so Washington can see we have the means to hold our own but I just had to see your faces. But seriously I want Murphy to hold the gate secure wile you continue your mission."
"Ah. That could be a problem sir. Teal'c tells me we're not only on a planet with a Goa'uld army depot. This is a Jaffa inhabited planet like Chewlack only the Jaffa around here takes there orders from a different system lord. We have an idea where they took Billing. There's a big honken temple about six clicks away. We can see it from here. You can count on there being a lot of Jaffa settlements between here and there. I don't think we'd make it with out some form of armored transport. Unless we think of something we may have to scrub this mission until we can reinforce our efforts."
"Negative SG-1 the orders still stand. I can not send you military reinforcements or equipment and if you come back the mission will be scrubbed permanently."
"Understood... Let me get back to you sir." Jack replied.
Allen and Hammond stood by the radio knowing that SG-1 was now considering their options when Allen told Hammond that he could help.
"Mr. Fuguer as I told you I can not allow a civilian to go through the Stargate."
"I was just thinking you may not have to. What if I could get there under my own power?"
"Now hold on there. I think I understand what you're saying but I can't ask you to put yourself in that kind of danger."
"I wouldn't be by their side during the mission I can stick with Murphy near the gate and they can radio me if they need help."
"Hold on. Lets see If SG-1 can handle the situation be for you make any hasty decisions. SG-1 has seen difficult missions before and took the odds even when they weren't in there favor. They may still take this mission on there own If not I can't stop you from going where you want. But I have no knowledge of what you do until you get there understood?"
"Yes sir. Mission impossible 101. Disavow any knowledge. Got ya."
Just then the radio sprang to life.
"SG-1 to SGC copy." Colonel O'Neill's voice said over the radio.
"Go ahead Colonel." Hammond replied.
"After conferring with the rest of SG-1 we have come to the conclusion that this mission isn't feasible. As much as I hate this we feel the mission must be scrubbed. Those damn snake heads win this round. Sorry Sir. We will be on our way back."
"One moment Colonel, their may be another option."
Hammond looked toward Allen who grabbed his keyboard and Hammonds radio and Allen began to play*.
"Make sure you stay at the gate and out of Sg-1s hair."
"Yes sir." Allen replied.
The IDD that formed was right in front of SG1. To them it looked as if the control room of the SGC was just a few steps away. Allen walked through and the IDD closed at the same time the Stargate shutdown.
"Wow! It worked. That was the first time I'd tried using the IDD to transport within the same dimension." Allen said.
"Okay Fuguer. What gives? What's with the orders that command can't send any support and why are you here?" Jack asked wanting answers.
"Kinsey." Was Allen's one word reply.
That one word spoke volumes to O'Neill as he remembered how hard the Senator worked to get the Stargate program shut down.
"Oh Man! For Cryin' Out Loud!"
"Murphy's not military and although the General couldn't send me through the gate, I could still get here without it so I came to see if I could help."
"And just what did you have in mind." Jack asked.
"You said something about armored transportation?"
"Well yeah...Okay that's a start...Something fast maybe maneuverable."
"And you can call me on the radio when you think of something else because I promised Hammond that I would stick to the gate and Murphy till you got back."
"Sounds like a good plan. Okay where our transport?"
"Coming right up."
With that Allen began to play.* The IDD opened once more to a place that looked like a parking garage. Allen then stepped halfway in keeping a foot in both realms and called out.
"Why can't we hear him Carter." Jack asked.
"I don't know sir, I think even though the doorway is open there must be a membrane of energy that we cant see, that can hold back the sound waves between each dimension. Sam replied
"Why would that be?" Daniel asked.
"Each universe has its own harmonic signature. I'm guessing if the two harmonics were exposed to each other it might be disastrous but it's only a guess." Sam theorized.
O'Neill turned back to the IDD and was surprised to see a black trans am rolling out of it.
"What the hell is this Fuguer? I asked for armored transport. This isn't a joyride."
"You also said fast and maneuverable and what you got is all that and more."
"He's right you know, I may not have a cannon sticking out of my windshield but my molecularly bonded shell makes me as safe as a tank. A voice came from the car."
O'Neill tried to peer through the smoke tinted glass but couldn't see anything
"Who's in there? Who's driving this thing?"
"Introduce yourself Kitt." Allen said.
The tinting faded away to reveal no one inside as Kitt spoke.
"I am the Knight industries two-thousand. Kitt for short."
"Kitt works for a government agency called fflag. The foundation for law and government, designed to help put away criminals that work above the law."
"What was that about a molecularly bonded shell?" Carter asked.
"He's bullet proof. I've seen footage of Kitt plowing through volcanic magma."
"Really!" Carter said surprised.
"I'm sold." Daniel said.
That's all O'Neill had to hear as well. He couldn't complain but that didn't stop him from trying.
"But a trans am. Couldn't you get something more... I don't know ... manly. Like a tank."
Carter smiled as she said. "Sir, this vehicle would be safer for us to drive than a tank. If a tank were to get hit with a zatgun its occupants would likely be stunned, where as a car would protects the occupants because of its rubber tires, but if its not manly enough for you I could drive."
"No. That's okay. I can be secure with my manliness. You can have shotgun."
"Shotgun? Oh that reminds me Colonel. Kitt is a defensive vehicle only. He can't be used to kill, so you'll have to roll down a window if you want to shoot anyone."
"Oh that just great, Fuguer. Tell you what. Why don't you send this thing back and pull my pickup from the SGC parking lot and we'll take our chances."
"Excuse me Colonel can your pickup give you a 3D typographical lay of the land or run interference for you like I can."
"Well no...Are you sure about this, Fuguer?"
"As sure as I am about Murphy." Allen replied.
"Alright then let's go. Everybody in." Jack ordered.
Everyone piled into Kitt and O'Neill told Allen to stay out of trouble and out of sight and then they were off.
Part7
SG-1 and Kitt had only gotten two miles away from the gate when Jaffa started crawling out of the wood work. Kitt took a hit to the windshield which scared the hell out of SG-1.
"Well, at lest we know that molecularly bonded shell thing works." Daniel Announced.
"We have to find a way out of here fast Kitt what about those maps you were talking about."
"Thermal imaging tells me there are no inhabitants on the other side of that divide. Getting to the other side should provide us with a mile or two of military free open desert."
"Okay, but the key word is "divide". Unless you see a bridge around here there's no way over there."
"If you allow me to take over I believe I can get us out of this." Kitt replied.
"What... You mean drive?" Jack asked.
"Yes. I've been at this a lot longer than you have and I'm the one getting shot."
"Colonel, maybe you better let the car drive. I would think it has better control over its systems than any of us." Sam said.
"Oh, I know I'm going to regret this. Alright Kitt show us what you got." Jack said.
Kitt took over and easily maneuvered his way around Jaffa and their staff weapon blasts.
When SG-1 looked forward they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The car was headed for the divide. O'Neill tried to turn the wheel to no avail as he started yelling at Kitt. "What the hell do you think your doing? Your going to get us killed." By then it was already too late. Stopping wasn't an options and a button on the dash flashed on that read turbo boost as the car became airborne. The screams from inside the cab could be heard outside. Even Teal'c drew a breath as they left the ground. For a fraction of a second O'Neill knew they weren't going to make it. The next fraction he was almost sure. The next kind of sure and then he thought. I'll be damned we might just make it. All four of Kitts tires hit at once with a bounce and the first person to speak as Kitt continued driving was Daniel.
"Why aren't we dead? I mean not that I'm not grateful that we aren't but why aren't we splattered across the windshield?"
"My seatbelts work on the principle of inertia." Kitt replied.
"Okay, I could understand that if we were actually wearing seatbelts but we're not." Daniel replied.
There automatic and work on focused energy particles. Kitt announced.
"You mean a force field." Sam asked.
"No, but I suppose you could say it were the beginning of something like that with some development." Kitt reasoned.
They would have had no problems after that had it not been for the glider shooting at them from above. Even at Kitts top speed of over two hundred MPH he couldn't evade it. Kitt took evasive action and told O'Neill he needed help with his new game plan.
"Colonel, the only systems that I am not capable of initiating myself are the buttons behind the panel I'm now opening. Please press the green button."
Without thinking of asking first O'Neill pressed the button. Marked S.P.M. and SG-1 watched as the front end seemed to grow and stabilizer fins shot out of the sides.
"Aright, now what's happening?" Jack asked.
Before an answer came there was a sudden burst of speed and the members of SG-1 felt themselves being pressed into their seats from what almost seemed like a G-force.
"The button you pressed was my Super Pursuit Mode. It increases my speed up to 40%. It will buy us some time as I try to lock onto his alien systems and jam the pilots control over his cannons." Kitt announced.
"I don't know if that's possible but on the off chance that you can the ejection seat controls would work for me."
"I'll keep that in mind however your stop is coming up fast. I suggest that you get ready to hit the red button and then the green afterward." Kitt said.
They came up to a tree line on the side of the temple walls when Kitt told O'Neill to hit the button and the Super Braking System deployed stopping the car abruptly. O'Neill then hit the green button once more and Kitts fins concealed themselves. Daniel looked at his watch and commented that they sure had made good time.
"Yeah, well let's just hope our boy is in there." Jack said.
"Surprisingly there are very few solders in this facility. However there is one badly injured man in a cell on the north side of the complex." Kitt replied.
"Okay and you know this how?" Jack asked.
A Three dimensional display of the interior of the temple with read dots showing the Jaffa movement was shown as Kitt explained.
"I can detect their heat signature."
"Whoa. Sir the people of Kitt dimension must have put the same technology in to him as we put into our satellite systems. This is amazing." Sam said.
"Thank you. As a matter of fact I had several NASA specialists working on my systems during my development. Kitt announced.
"Well, I'm sure this is all fascinating but does anybody have any suggestions as to how we get in? We can't just stroll in the front door." Jack wondered.
"Well, that only leaves over the wall Jack. Should we brake out the climbing gear? Daniel asked.
"That won't be necessary." Kitt Announced. "I can get you over the wall but it will have to be quick. That glider will be approaching and will soon detect me."
Alright what did you have in mind? Jack asked.
Kitt went into stealth mode silencing the sound of his engine and pulled alongside the wall. Opening the T-top he asked O'Neill to stand on the seat and he would boost each of them up one at a time. O'Neill got the idea and exclaimed.
"Ejection seats!? Who's your normal driver James Bond?"
"Michael Knight actually." Kitt told him.
"Aright. Aright. Lets do this. I'll go first then Sam, Teal'c, and then Daniel. Kitt will keep the Jaffa busy letting them chase him." Jack said.
As O'Neill stood on the seat Kitt gave him instructions.
"Okay Colonel, lean slightly toward the wall and when you feel yourself descending step forward."
"Ready." Jack said
O'Neill shot up in the air and like Kitt instructed upon his descent he stepped forward and he landed on top of the wall as easily as a bird coming to land on a branch. Quickly everyone followed with the same graceful ease and was undetected as they climbed down the other side, crossed the courtyard and made there way inside."
Part 8
As they made there way down a hall they came to an archway that led to a type of thrown room where two Jaffa were reporting to a Goa'uld.
"Has the prisoner given us any information yet?"
"No first prime, He is still claiming to not know the new iris codes but I know he will break soon." The Jaffa said.
"Very well keep trying. Wile the Asgard are busy with the replicators it will be our best chance to invade Earth from two fronts. Once you have the information send it to our god through the knowledge base. There is a rescue attempt in progress by the Ta'uri as we speak so once you send the information destroy the knowledge base. The battle plans must not fall into Ta'uri hands."
"It will be done first prime."
The first prime went to the corner of the room and stopped he pressed a gem on his gold wristband and rings came from the ceiling and transported him away in a matter stream to what the SG-1 members surmised must be a mother ship in orbit. Seizing the opportunity they shot the two Jaffa that had been talking to the first prime. Three times each with a zatgun so they would disintegrate and leave no evidence.
"Okay Teal'c what's this knowledge base they were talking about?"
"It is a Goa'uld computer." Teal'c explained simply.
"That's what I thought. Any chance you know how to make it work?"
"Wile I can read Goa'uld and operate their computers an access code would undoubtedly be required to access any relevant information."
"Disappointed he looked to his second in command. "Carter?"
"Sir, even if it weren't an alien computer it would take months for me to crack and first I'd need to learn the language."
"Damn, we need that Intel. Earth will be counting on it. Teal'c any chance of strapping it on the back of Kitt."
"Goa'uld computers are quite large O'Neill most require a contingent Jaffa to put in place."
"And Kitt couldn't crack the systems on the glider...Damn." O'Neill thought out loud.
"Sir, we could call Allen and see if he could come up with anything."
"That right. He hasn't let us down yet Jack." Daniel said.
"Alright we make a quick call and then find the scientist."
"Fuguer, are you there? Copy."
"Yeah I'm here Jack. How's it going?" Allen replied.
"Oh just peachy. We just found out the invasion of earth is for real. Listen, I don't suppose you know of a computer expert that can read Goa'uld and get their battle plan out of one by any chance."
Allen was shocked and he felt a sinking feeling as he heard the news of the invasion but the request made him think.
"I might...Yes!... I do! I can bring him right to you."
O'Neill's eye brows shot up as he was going to ask "You do?" but caught himself as the last part of Allen's message registered.
"Negative you stick with the gate. We'll get word to Kitt to swing by your possession and pick him up."
It was then that a new voice came across the radio.
"Colonel this is Kitt. I've been monitoring your frequency and while I'm confidant that I can reach Allen a return trip to this location would be slim at best. These soldiers would have learned from their mistakes and have a trap set by then. Not to mention that two more gliders have shown up on my scanners searching for me."
O'Neill closed his eyes and shook his head before speaking. "Fuguer is there any way you can think of to make this happen."
Allen thought for a moment and said. "Yes Colonel I believe I can. If not I'll make it happen some how."
"Do it." Jack said.
"Yes sir. Fuguer out."
"Alright, new plan. Teal'c, Sam, you two look for that computer. Daniel you're with me. We'll find the scientist."
Part 9
Allen began to play* his tune of choice and the IDD opened. He walked onto an alien landscape with a violet sky. He was out side a large one level white building. He slowly walked up the steps leading to it where a mass of people gathered. He looked for the person he needed among the crowd which didn't take long. He came up from behind and put his hand on his shoulder and said "Hello Data." Commander Data turned and looked at Allen with surprise and said.
"Allen? Allen Fuguer?" Data inquired.
"Yes Data, it's me."
"But I thought you said you would never cross the threshold that separated our dimensions in fear of being stuck?"
"Believe me it was an accident. Where are we anyway?"
"This is one of the moons of Mars just over Utopa-Planetia."
"Utopa-Planeshea? Isn't that were Starfleet builds there ships."
"Yes. It is but this moon is a conference area of the sciences."
"Are you teaching or learning?" Allen asked.
"I have just finished a lecture today. Why are you here?"
"Well Data, I've come to ask for your help. I'm staying in the Stargate universe right now and there just so happens to be an invasion about to happen."
"Stargate? Ah! That was the show that was on your monitor when we first met, the recording of the universe with the wormhole generators."
"Yeah, That one. Well they need an alien computer expert to crack a Goa'uld computer and I was hoping you could help?"
"Starfleet protocol is very specific about giving advanced technologies to lesser developed planets." Data announced.
"I'm well aware of the prime directives Data, but all they need is a computer hacker for an alien system." Allen said.
"Hacker? Accessing. Ah! A computer expert that cracks computer codes."
"If they don't get this help earth will be a ball of ash hanging in space. While you're there you could study the Stargate. I know Starfleet would want that kind of information."
"I will have to go to my shuttle and leave word with my captain."
And Data, I know it's a lot to ask but is there any chance of bringing the shuttle. My orders are to stay near the gate. SG-1 is at a temple about six miles away where you would have to go."
"I believe the risk is too great. Should the shuttle fall into Goa'uld hand the systems on board would make them a greater threat than they are."
"I agree. Alright, I'll find some other way of getting you there." Allen said.
"I will go to my shuttle to get a tricorder and phaser." Data replied.
"I'll wait here."
As Data left in one direction Allen saw someone else he knew.
"Doctor?!" Allen called.
Most of the heads in the crowed turned his way. Being a hall of science they probably were all doctors here. He thought
"Voyager's Doctor!"
The Doctor looked in his direction.
"Allen? Allen Fuguer?"
A few minutes later Allen, Data and the Doctor came through the IDD in front of the Stargate. Data had flipped open his tricorder as to study the IDD and was now pointing it at the Stargate as Allen made the introductions.
"This is Murphy. He's also from another dimension he helped win the battle here."
"Good lord! This field has bodies everywhere." The Doctor announced.
"And Murphy is responsible for about half of them. Alright, now I've got to get transportation I'll be right back." Allen said.
Data pointed his tricorder in the direction of the Allen as he played * and a new IDD formed. Allen went through alone leaving Murphy the Doctor and Data at the gate.
"I'm detecting almost two hundred soldiers in that field." The Doctor announced.
"From what I understand Doctor, the Goa'uld are as arrogant as the Borg. Human lives mean nothing to them. Their Jaffa soldiers on the other hand will protect their God as the Jem'Hadar would protect the Founders." Data explained.
"Well, I'm not too familiar with the Founders or Jem'Hadar. That war happened while voyager was in the Delta quadrant. But I have glanced at the reports and I understand what you're trying to say." The Doctor explained
"Doctor, will you assist me in scanning the Stargate. I do not know how much time we will have to do so and the more information we have the more Starfleet will appreciate our away mission." Data asked.
"Yes, and I'm looking forward to bringing Captain Janeway the information as well." The Doctor said as he scanned the DHD. "It is my hope we can find a way to send one to Nelix back in the Delta quadrant. He could be somewhat annoying at times but I find I still miss him."
"It is unlikely that would happen Doctor. Not only is it impractical but Starfleet would not send a Stargate to a quadrant so infested with Borg."
"Good heavens! I hadn't thought of that."
"Just then the radio on the steps leading to the Stargate came to life."
"Fuguer, Are you there? Copy." Jack called.
Murphy, the Doctor, and Data looked at it. The doctor looked at Murphy and asked.
"Should one of us answer that?"
"Murphy picked up the radio and spoke."
"Allen Fuguer is not in this dimension at this time."
O'Neill was surprised by who answered but angrier about what was said.
"What do you mean he's not in this dimension?"
"May I?" Data Asked as he held out his hand to receive the radio which Murphy handed over.
"He is in another dimension trying to obtain a means of transport."
"Oh Grrreat! Who is this anyway?"
"Lieutenant commander Data. I am the computer hacker you sent for."
"Lieutenant commander?" He must be a navy officer O'Neill thought before continuing. "Well Lieutenant commander, did Fuguer give you any indication as to how much longer he would be."
Just then a IDD opened.
"An IDD is opening now." Data said into the radio.
"Have him call me when you're on your way with an E.T.A."
"Affirmative." Data replied.
O'Neill and the others had really lucked out as they had gone unnoticed so far. When they could they took out as many Jaffa they could sneak up on, hoping to keep their numbers low. A minute had passed when Allen spoke over the radio.
"Allen to O'Neill. Copy."
"Report Allen." Jack said.
"They just left. They should be there in less than sixty seconds. If you can I think you should try to cover them."
"Sam, Teal'c, you two find that computer yet?"
"Yes sir. Just this minute."
"Alright, meet us at the front courtyard."
"Yes sir."
part10
Just as O'Neil and Jackson got to the door to the courtyard Sam was there putting her hand up for them to stop as she was peeping around the doorway. She then turned to speak to O'Neill.
"Three sentries in the courtyard sir, two facing this way."
Just then O'Neil heard a sound that he didn't think he could possibly be hearing. The others heard it as well.
"Sir, that sounds like..." Sam began.
O'Neill cut her off in mid sentence as he said.
"Cover them."
SG-1 bolted out the door and shot the Jaffa who was already distracted by the sounds they heard. With the Jaffa in the courtyard dead they climbed up the wall to see a black and white helicopter coming there way with a glider right behind it.
"Sir, that chopper doesn't stand a chance. What was Allen thinking?"
The gilder shot at the strange flying machine. It was then to SG-1's surprise that machine guns popped out of the sides of the helicopter.
"Sir, if the pilot turns to fight, half way through the turn they'll be a big enough target for that glider to hit." Sam said.
But as she finished that sentence the helicopter gave such a burst of speed upward that the pilot was able to achieve a loop. Something impossible in a normal slower helicopter as it would have stalled. In doing so it was now behind the glider shooting at it when a rocket launcher appeared from the bottom and fired, blowing the glider to the four winds. A second glider appeared coming in at its side. However the side door slid open and a man could be seen aiming some type of hand weapon at it. Before the glider could get a shot off the man's weapon shot an orange ray disabling the glider and forcing it to crash into the ground. With no more gliders in sight the helicopter hovered over the courtyard and the man at the side door prepared to jump.
"Sir, he'll never survive from that distance." Sam said.
But the man did jump and when his feet touched the ground he looked as if he had jumped from only a couple of feet. He then walked up to Colonel O'Neill and introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Lieutenant commander Data. I believe we spoke earlier."
O'Neill and the others couldn't help but notice the man's white skin and gold eyes.
"Ah yeah, Your not exactly human are you." O'Neill asked.
"No sir. I am an android." Data replied.
"Okaaay. I'm Colonel O'Neill this is Major Carter, Dr. Jackson, and Teal'c. We better get inside. We're at risk out here. Is the pilot of that chopper going to hang around for a while?" Jack asked.
"Affirmative. Stringfellow Hawk wanted me to relay a message that he will attempt to keep the rest of the gliders busy until we are finished and will be available to aid our escape." Data informed.
"Once inside Sam and Teal'c led the rest of the team to the computer room without running into any problems on the way. Sam couldn't help stealing a sideways glance at Data. She had all kinds of questions but knew that Jack would only tell her to focus on the mission and he would be right. Once they got to where they were going Teal'c and O'Neill guarded the door. Data pulled out one of the tricorders from his belt to analyze the alien computer systems. O'Neill looked back to ask if Data could do it.
"It will take some time but I should be able to decipher its program and retrieve the relevant information." Data announced.
How much time we talking? Jack wondered.
"Fifteen minutes should be sufficient." Data replied.
"Alright Daniel and I will look for the injured scientist." Jack said.
"One moment please." Data replied. "If he is injured he will need medical assistance."
Data took a white badge from his belt and held it up about shoulder length as he pressed the buttons upon it. O'Neill and the others jumped as a man appeared. O'Neill recognized that the second man had a jumpsuit with a similar cut to Data's only in blue and realized that he must be one of the good guys as well.
"Now who the hell are you?" Jack asked.
"I am the E.M.H. and a friend." The Doctor replied.
"EMH?" Sam asked.
"Emergency Medical Hologram. I'm a Doctor."
"A hologram? That's amazing! Is that badge some type of computer?" Sam asked excitedly.
"It's my Mobil emitter it holds my program." The doctor replied.
"Sir this is incredible, this level of technology has to be centuries..." Sam began but was cut off.
"Carter!..." Looking back at the EMH O'Neill asked. "You said hologram? colored lights, that sort of thing right?"
"A bit more than that but yes. That right." The Doctor admitted.
"Well, how can a lightshow help us?" Jack wanted to know.
"I assure you that I am in complete control of my photons if that's what you mean." The Doctor announced.
O'Neill looked to Carter and asked. "Is that what I mean?"
"Sir I think what the EMH is saying is that he can be as solid as he chooses to be." She replied.
"That's correct." The Doctor said.
O'Neill walked over to the Doctor and put his hand on his shoulder and announced. "You feel real...Aright, you'll go with me and Daniel to get the scientist. Carter, you help Data. Teal'c, guard this door. Contact me on the radio when you've got the information."
Data gave the Doctor the tricorder, med kit and phaser he'd been carrying while the Doctor was deactivated and O'Neill team went out the door while Data got to work on the computer.
"Where is this Scientist anyway?" The Doctor whispered to Jack.
"We don't know. We believe he's somewhere in the north side of the building being interrogated." Daniel said.
"I see. Maybe I can help." The Doctor announced.
The Doctor pulled out his tricorder and flipped it open.
"There are several life signs moving about. There is one stationary with very weak life signs down that hall and to the right but he's not alone."
Following the Doctor's directions they crept along the halls and made it to what seemed like the holding cells. Hearing Jaffa voices yelling and someone screaming they crept passed cell after empty cell until they reached one where two Jaffa were torturing the scientist for information with a Goa'uld pain fork. Light came from the scientist eyes nose and mouth as they poked him. The Doctor offered to play decoy and lure the Jaffa away from their prisoner and O'Neill agreed. The Doctor stepped in front of the cell and said.
"Excuse me I believe this periods Geneva Convention doesn't approve of the torturing of hostages." The doctor said spouting the first piece of trivia that entered his memory system.
The Doctor then backed away in the opposite direction of which he came from to draw attention away from O'Neill and Daniel. They came out of the cell barking orders in Jaffa which the Doctor surmised was something like halt or we'll shot. O'Neill and Daniel shot them three times and rushed into the cell. The Doctor took readings of the sciences life signs and with a grim expression said.
"I'm sorry it appears we arrived too late. He's gone."
"Jack, torturing him like this, they must have known this would happen so they must have a Sarcophagus around here somewhere." Daniel suggested
Shocked the Doctor said. "This man is barley cold and you're talking about burying him?"
"No. No. A Goa'uld Sarcophagus is a type of healing devise." Daniel explained.
"Healing devise? But this man is already dead." The Doctor said confused at what Daniel was getting at
"We've seen this devise bring people back from the dead at lest a half hour after all signs of life have ceased even with injuries worse than this." He replied.
"I would be very interested in seeing this medical wonder." The Doctor replied in wonder.
"Yeah well, we have no idea where it is and I don't no if we have the time to find it."
"I believe I can." The Doctor said as he pulled out his tricorder once more.
"It would save on the paper work Jack." Daniel replied.
"Alright, alright, are you picking anything up doc?" Jack asked.
"Besides the computer room there are two other energy sources. One is in the corner of a large room in the center of the building."
"That would be the transport rings in the thrown room." Daniel Responded.
"And then another down that hall and to the right." The Doctor continued.
"Well that has to be it." Daniel announced.
O'Neill immediately threw the body of the scientist over his shoulder. With zatgun in hand they quietly moved down the hall. It turned out to be empty. As they rounded the corner into the room where the Sarcophagus was the radio came to life.
"Colonel O'Neill there seems to be an increase in Jaffa activity on this side of the complex your assistance is required." Teal'c announced.
"Grrrreat! Doc you're going to have to handle this on your own. Daniel
with me." Jack said.
"But how do I active it?" the Doctor asked.
"It's automatic." Daniel replied and they were off down the hall once more.
"Automatic? What do you mean by automatic?" the Doctor tried to ask but there was no answer as O'Neill and Daniel were already gone and the Doctor was left holding the body of the scientist. Unsure of what to do he put the body in the Sarcophagus and was going to use his tricorder to figure out the alien box when the Sarcophagus closed and made a slight hum.
"Oh! That's what they meant by automatic." He said to himself.
As the box continued humming the Doctor used his tricorder to find out what was going on inside and found it amazing and said so out loud several times throughout the process.
