MEMENTO TRANSCRIPT (by M. Uli Kusterer) TAG Shot of the Prometheus (X-303) orbiting Earth. Inside, a man jumps down a ladder and walks offscreen right. Colonel William Ronson walks into the room from ahead. Ronson: All right everyone, on your toes! Major Gant, Report He walks past the major, who is checking out the console she's standing behind. Gant: A ship has just exited a hyperspace window off our port bow, Colonel. Goa'uld vessel, Sir, Hat'tak class. Ronson: Sound General quarters (???) He sits down in his seat next to her an Major Peter DeLuise's (!) consoles. Gant: Goa'uld vessel is closing in on our position at fifteen thousand meters. They're arming their weapons, Sir. She sits down at her console as well. Ronson: Shields at maximum! I want missile bays one, three and four, and charge the primary weapons systems. Klaxons start going off in the background. Gant: Yes Sir. Still inside, a couple of crewmen (and women) in blue overalls run along a corridor, past another one who is checking out a box on the wall. They run past a door, where Teal'c and O'Neill just emerge. O'Neil exaggeratedly stumbles out of their way. O'Neill: Excuse *me*! God that's annoying! They walk up the corridor, Klaxons still sounding in the background. Teal'c: I believe Colonel Ronson has issued a call for battle stations. O'Neill: *again*. Teal'c: Have we not been assigned to participate in the damage control effort. O'Neill: Yes. And if there's *ever* any damage, I'll do my best to control it. Right now, I wanna talk to Ronson. On the bridge, Major Gant is sitting at her console as the two enter. Gant: Goa'uld vessel is in range, Sir. Ronson: Weapons Officer, prepare to fire on my command! O'Neill (low, to Teal'c): He's the weapons officer, you'd think he'd already be prepared. Teal'c: Indeed. Ronson: The bridge isn't exactly where you're supposed to be during the battle drill. O'Neill: Nnnnoooo... I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Ronson: can it wait, until we're not in the middle of a drill? O'Neill: *When* are we *not* in the middle of a drill? Ronson glares at Jack calmly, who looks down for a second, then raises his hands in defense. O'Neill: Okay. We'll talk about it later. (Ronson doesn't believe his sincerity) Teal'c, prepare to assist in damage control. Teal'c: I am prepared, O'Neill. O'Neill: See how melodramatic that sounds? It's unnecessary. He turns to leave, Teal'c follows. The camera focuses on Ronson, who sighs voicelessly. His face sets. Ronson: Where were we... RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON STARGATE SG-1 AMANDA TAPPING CHRISTOPHER JUDGE CORIN NEMEC DON S. DAVIS EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS MICHAEL GREENBURG RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON DEVELOPED FOR TELEVISION BY BRAD WRIGHT & JONATHAN GLASSNER SCENE 1 Inside the Prometheus, a dark corridor, personnel walking around busily, but not as hectic as before. O'Neill is sitting at a console in a brighter part of the room, talking intently to someone as a crewman passes behind him. O'Neill: To be honest with you, Sir, I feel like we're getting *in the way* here. Onscreen is Hammond, a geeky-looking scientist can be seen in the background. They're probably at Stargate Control. Hammond: SG-1 has valuable experience with both hyperspace travel and the Prometheus itself. Besides, your mission to P7X009 shouldn't take more than a few hours. General Greer and I just want you there for the shakedown cruise. O'Neill (who has been looking around idly the entire time): In the unlikely event of an emergency... Hammond: Something like that. Enjoy the ride, Colonel. Hammond out. The screen goes static, and we see O'Neill staring unhappily ahead, nodding. EXT., the Prometheus still orbiting Earth, probably above the Antarctic or a huge cloud bank. Ronson (v/o): This is Prometheus, ... INT., the bridge. Ronson is walking in front of his seat. Ronson: ... requesting go-ahead for mission start. MEMENTO Voice via wireless: Prometheus, this is Van-den-berg (?), you have an affirmative for hyperspace window activation. Ronson sits down between Gant and DeLuise. ROBERT FOXWORTH Ronson: Roger that. (to her) Major, we have a go. JOHN NOVAK Gant: Yes Sir, activating window. She types somthing on her console, and we switch to... EXT. Prometheus, a white, cloud-like hyperspace window opens in front of the ship, and it swishes into it with a bright glare of light. With a swosh we find ourselves... EXT. Inside a Hyperspace channel that is vaguely reminiscent of the inside of a Stargate wormhole, but without the screeching noise, and a lot more cloudy and tunnel-like instead of flying through the stars. The prometheus swishes past the camera, which pans to follow, and we cut to... INT. A wide corridor on Prometheus, two crewpeople, Ronson followed by Gant are heading towards the camera from a doorway. MIGUEL FERNANDES Ronson: Run Level One Diagnostics on all weapons systems, including shields. Gant: Ring transports? Ronson: Hit all of them. INGRID KAVELAARS ALEX DIAKUN They walk through a hatch and turn left. Ronson: Also, set up a hull breach simulation for 0500. That's all. CREATIVE CONSULTANT MARTIN WOOD Gant: Yes Sir. She turns and heads back while he continues on his path, finding Colonel O'Neill waiting for him, leaning against the side of the lift with arms crossed. CO-PRODUCER PETER DELUISE Ronson: Jack. The sliding door closes behind the two. PRODUCER DAMIAN KINDLER O'Neill: Got yourself a fine crew here, Ronson. Ronson: Yeah, you got a pretty solid team yourself. They stand, facing each other, not quite friendly, not quite hostile, taxing. PRODUCER ANDY MIKITA O'Neill: Yeah, I was speaking of that. SUPERVISING PRODUCERS JOSEPH MALOZZI & PAUL MULLIE Ronson: Jack... I know that in the event of a real situation with the Goa'uld, you feel that your place would be on the bridge. The door slides open and they exit the lift, Ronson leading the way. CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCER N. JOHN SMITH O'Neill: Well, if not me, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of Teal'c's expertise, and Carter's a genius! Ronson: You're absolutely right. But you're just along for the shakedown cruise. My crew needs to be able to count on me and on each other after you're gone. They have stopped in a crossing and are facing each other again. Jack sighs. O'Neill: I guess I can respect that. Ronson: Besides, I highly doubt we'll run into the Goa'uld on this mission. EXT. space, black with stars. A flash of light, and the Prometheus pops out of hyperspace with a "whoosh". INT. Prometheus, Jack and Ronson look baffled. Ronson: We just dropped out of Hyperspace. He steps around Jack and heads off. The camera stays with O'Neill, who pulls out a small radio. O'Neill: Carter, Teal'c, meet me on the bridge! He follows. We cut to the bridge, where two female crewmembers are fussing over one of those fancy starchart glass things in the back of the room, while closer to us, the weapons officer stares at his console in surprise. Ronson enters, followed by Jack. Gant is sitting at her console, focusing on something on her screen. EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ROBERT C. COOPER Ronson: Major? Gant: We were supposed to be in hyperspace for another nine minutes, Sir. I don't know what happened. Sam and Jonas enter the room, and Sam immediately heads for Gant's console, looking over her shoulder. Teal'c is hardly visible following them in. WRITTEN BY DAMIAN KINDLER Ronson sits down in his chair, turns to DeLuise on his right. Ronson: What's our position? DeLuise: 40.62 light years short of the target, sir. Sam: Something must have caused the hyperdrive to shut down automatically. We see a schematic of the Prometheus on Gant's screen labeled "Prometheus X-303 System Analysis: Systems visual display mosule" Jonas: The only way that would happen is if the computer detected some instability in the Naquadria powering the engines. DIRECTED BY PETER DELUISE Gant: He's right sir, diagnostics show a massive power surge in the hyperdrive. The failsafe's kicked in to shut it down. Ronson: Have you begun restart procedures? Gant: I've tried, but the computer wouldn't let it start up. We see "Engines offline" flashing on her screen. O'Neill: Carter? Sam looks up from Gant's console to O'Neill, standing between Jonas and Teal'c. She attempts to say something as he continues. O'Neill: You promised me it would work!!! Sam: It did work. O'Neill: No it didn't. Sam: The hyperdrive was fitted with a buffer, like a surge protector. It was designed to modulate extreme fluctuations in the energy coming from the Naquadria. This shouldn't be happening. Teal'c: Yet it is happening. O'Neill: Yet it is!!! Gant: Something must have damaged the buffer. Sam (to Ronson): Sir, with your permission I'd like to take a look. Jonas: Yeah, me too. Ronson: Take Major Gant with you. Report back to me as soon as possible. Sam: Yes sir. While Gant removes her earphone, Jonas and Sam head for the exit, followed by Gant. Jack looks annoyed and disappointed, like a pouting child. INT, we're looking down at the reactor through three bars. it consists of two, roughly spheric bodies, one of which appears to be transparent, while the other appears to be gold and black. Cut to Gant's unbelieving face, whose view we very likely just saw, behind her we can blurrily make out Sam at a console. Sam: Well, we were right. Something caused the buffer to overload, it's more or less fried. Gant: I don't understand. It was created to handle massive amounts of energy. The camera pans around her, and in the background past a long console, where another female crewmember sits, enters... Jonas: Gravity waves! I just checked the ship's sensor logs: We passed through an intense gravity wave from a collapsing star while in hyperspace. Sam: That would explain it, it was too much for the buffer to handle. Gant: But the hyperdrive engines are still intact, and we still have the Naquadria, so... Sam: Yeah, but we have no way of regulating it. There's no way to calculate the distance we've travelled because of Naquadria's inherent instability. Jonas: We could end up anywhere. Sam turns at Jonas's comment, obviously not happy. EXT. Prometheus in space, floating along majestically. INT. Sam and Ronson in front of a large schematical display onscreen. They turn, and in comes O'Neill: Well, if he was going to help out, he would've shown by now. Ronson: Who? O'Neill: Thor. Little guy? Grey? Ronson: I know who Thor is. O'Neill nods. Teal'c: The Asgard have proven valuable in similar situations. O'Neill: Carter? Sam: I'm afraid it doesn't look good, sir. Even if we were able to write a subroutine into the computer to bypass the buffer, we'd still risk the reactor going critical. Ronson: Well, use whatever need to repair the buffer. Cannibalize whatever system you deem necessary. Sam: With all due respect, Colonel, I can't. O'Neill raises his eyebrows in disbelief. Teal'c inclines his head as well. O'Neill: Carter? Carter: Sir, I helped design the buffer module. I can tell you right now there is no possible way I can make it operational. Not with what we have on the ship. It's like an ... a lightbulb that has burned out: You can't just fix it. O'Neill: Do we ... have any extra bulbs? Ronson: There is no redundancy for that particular system. O'Neill: So you're saying there's no redundancy? Teal'c who's zoned out by now, enjoying something on the ceiling, looks back at O'Neill at that repetition. Ronson: Even if we were to plot a course for Earth, using maximum sublight thrust, it would take years. We don't have the supplies! Sam: Not to mention the relativistic effects. O'Neill doesn't get that last comment. Ronson: That buffer has to be repaired. Jonas, who was invisible behind Ronson all the time, takes this opportunity to join in. Jonas: Actually, there may be another solution. We see a screen with lots of Stargate symbols (the 39-symbols flavor) in a nice checkered grid. Jonas: According to the cartouche, there's a planet .38 light years from our current position, ... Jonas is standing at the funky glass starchart and marks a white dot with his cool blue marker. Jonas: ... P3X744. We've tried dialing it unsuccessfully in the past, but if it's on the cartouche then there had to be a gate there at some point. Teal'c: perhaps it may be buried. Jonas: Well, if we can make it there and gate home, we can get what we need to repair the ship. Gant: We're still talking about a four month journey using sublight engines, we'd never make it. Jonas shakes his head, then nods as Sam says... Sam: We use the hyperdrive. Ronson, O'Neill and Teal'c raise their heads in surprise. O'Neill: I thought we couldn't do that? Sam: For a protracted period of time, no. Gant (nodding): 744 would be a pretty short hop. Sam: The shorter the burst of energy required, the less the chance of instability. Jonas: That's what I'm thinking. O'Neill (to Ronson): It's your call. But I don't see how we have much choice. Ronson: Major Gant, plot a course four 744. EXT. Another shot of the prometheus Swooshing off into hyperspace. EXT. The Prometheus swooshes out again in a flash above an Earth-like planet. INT. The bridge, Jonas and O'Neill walking around the seats in the background towards Teal'c. DeLuise: Now orbiting P3X744, sir. O'Neill: [Aye Port to Stowaway ???] Ronson: Good work, people! A short peek at a schematic of the reactor on Gant's screen which suddenly turns red. Gant: Sir, computers are detecting a rapid energy build-up in the Naquadria cells. Ronson: Shut down power to the reactor. Gant: Controls will not respond, sir. Reaction is continuing uncontrolled. Sam (next to her): jump must have triggered a power surge that overloaded the reactor control systems. Sir, without the buffer we have no way to stop the build-up. We have a few minutes before the Naquadria reactor goes critical. Ronson: Stand by to jettison the reactor module. Gant: Yes, sir. Jonas: Wait a minute, if I'm wrong about there being a stargate on this planet, we're losing our only means of getting home! Teal'c: It would appear there is little choice. Ronson: Bring shields and sublight engines on-line. Sam: We're not gonna be able to get very far away before it blows. Ronson: Then we're about to find out just how good our shields are. (via comm) All hands, brace for impact! (low) Reactor module separation on my mark. 3, 2, 1, mark! Gant pushes a button. EXT. Somewhere on the side of the Prometheus, towards the planet, a door opens and the reactor is jettisoned out, slightly spinning. INT, bridge. Gant: Module jettisoned. Ronson: Get us clear! Full military thrust! DeLuise: Sir. EXT, Prometheus above P3X744, the reactor, a small blue light, is flickering, drifting away from Prometheus, which accelerates away from the planet in a curve. The reactor blows noisefully, a huge, spheric, blue discharge around the explosion that is expanding, slowly but steadily catching up with the fleeing ship. INT, Prometheus, bridge. As the wave hits the ship, we see sparks flying, the sound of the hull deforming, Sam is shaken a little next to Major Gant. Ronson, Teal'c, and Jonas are seen bracing themselves against the impact, and Jack is holding his ears shut at the noise. Somewhere a pipe burst and spits out white smoke or gas, and Teal'c hurries to close it off. Ronson: Damage report! Gant: Electromagnetic pulse penetrated the shield, sir. Primary computer systems are down, all we have are artificial gravity and life support on most decks. Ronson: Casualties! Gant listens into her earpiece. Gant: None reported. Ronson: How soon until we get systems back on-line? Gant: It's too early to say, Sir. Sam: I'd like to assist, if I may. Ronson: Please do, Major. DeLuise: Colonel Ronson, I'm picking up atomic bogies originating from the planet's surface. Closing in on our position-- heading this way! Ronson: Can you identify them? DeLuise: Velocity and size indicate some kind of long-range ballistic weapon, Sir. We're under attack. Another alert goes off beeping in the background as Sam, Teal'c, Ronson and Jack react to this news. We see the radar console's screen with two red blips approaching towards the Prometheus in the center. DeLuise: Missiles are on an intercept course. Ronson: Evasive action, take us out of orbit. DeLuise: We can't maneuver, sir. Ronson: All right. Arm weapons, we'll try to take them out! Gant: Weapons control is down, sir. Ronson reacts. Jack: How long before they hit? DeLuise: Three minutes. Sam: That's not enough time to get the systems back on-line, Sir. Jonas: Colonel, they only launched their missiles after we exploded our hyperdrive above their athmosphere. It could have very well looked like an attack from their point of view. Sam: I agree, sir. based on the weapons they fired, they're obviously a very sophisticated race. the E.M. pulse that knocked out our computer systems could have had the same effect on their planet. Ronson: Then how were they able to launch missiles? Sam: Ballistic missile sites on Earth are shielded for E.M.P. O'Neill: Let's talk to 'em. DeLuise: Two minutes to missile impact. Gant: Sir, I can broadcast on multiple frequencies. If they're listening, they'll pick it up. Ronson: Do it. O'Neill puts on a headset while DeLuise pushes some buttons. O'Neill: This is Colonel Jack O'Neill from the United States Air Force vessel Prometheus, can anyone hear me down there? (static) The *explosion* that just happened in orbit over your planet was an *accident*. The resulting E.M. Pulse damaged our ship and we are defenseless against your attack. (more static) ... We've come a long way to meet you folks ... so, if there's anything you could do to, you know, stop those missiles...? DeLuise: One minute to impact. Ronson: (comm) Lock down all compartments and brace for impact! "Red alert" noise goes off. O'Neill: We'd very much like the opportunity to land and introduce ourselves, but ... if you destroy our ship, that's going to be ... very difficult... ? (more static) Teal'c, Sam and Jack listen intently. (Where the hell is Jonas???) We see the blips coming closer on the radar, then we see out the front viewport of the Prometheus where, miraculously, the rockets blow up in a bright flare of light, shaking the ship . DeLuise: Missile self-destructed at seventeen thousand meters. Ronson throws the surprised O'Neill a relieved look. Kalfass: This is Commander Kalfass of the Tegrean security force. We will transmit landing coordinates. Kalfass out. O'Neill: Not exactly an engraved invitation, but... Ronson: I would prefer not landing until we have our shields and weapons back on-line. Gant: We should have systems back up within a few minutes, sir. EXT. Tegrea, the Prometheus is landing on a huge field. against blue, slightly foggy sky, the sun shining down brightly (no lens flare there, luckily). INT, Prometheus. O'Neill, Jonas, Sam and Teal'c are headed down a corridor. Jonas: The guy you talked to was Commander Kalfass. The name of the planet is Tegrea. O'Neill: Kalfass. Tegrea. Got it. The four enter a room that seems to have a large, empty space in its middle. Sam: Sir, I've been scanning for Naquada traces with the ship's sensors, in an effort to determine the location of the stargate. So far I've got nothing. Teal'c: Could the information on the cartouche be incorrect? Sam: Hasn't been wrong yet. Jonas: If they don't accept our apology, finding the Stargate is going to be the least of our problems. O'Neill signs to a man a little off, who pushes a button on a panel in the wall. The camera zooms back to show SG-1 standing in the middle of a circle on the floor, which opens and a ring transporter swooshes up and engulfs them. They're transported away and the guard returns to his seat at a console. EXT. Prometheus on the field. SG-1 are walking away from it, and we get a nice sweep upwards, showing us the Prometheus and a whole lot of small gunships, the size of small round zeppelins or large balloons, and a similarly undefinable mixed design obviously guarding our spaceship. The greeting committee, about three tanks and two gunships, and a whole load of soldiers in uniform, with who we'll learn is Kalfass standing leisurely in front of one tank as if he owned it. As SG-1 approach across the field, they are encircled by loads of camouflage-clothed soldiers with strage rubber neckpieces, vaguely reminiscent of Jaffa-armor without the animal head, but without shoulder pads. The tank behind Kalfass turns its turret with two small guns, and Kalfass in front of it glares at our heroes as he approaches in his earth-coloured uniform (think "V for victory" if you care about the way it's cut). We get our first good look at him as he commands... Kalfass: Drop your weapons. Immediately. A line of soldiers approaches towards SG-1, who are still holding on to their weapons. O'Neill: Howdy fellers! Colonel Jack O'Neill. United State-- Kalfass: Several powerful weapons are aimed at both you *and* your ship. O'Neill: --s Air Force... Kalfass: Disarm yourselves, or you'll be fired upon. This is not negotiable. Teal'c: I believe he is being sincere in his threat, O'Neill. Jonas (stepping forward): Oh... I guess we'll have to start trusting them at some point. (he shrugs toward Jack) O'Neill: Yah... They put down their rifles, Sam fiddling a little with hers. EXT. The main city on Tegrea. Lots of factories, industrialized, two TGV-like trains zooming by towards us on several levels of tracks. INT. Some Tegrean council room. Ashwan, a female council member, SG-1 and Kalfass sit down at a triangular table. A number of guards (may I say SFs?) in the background next to some palmtree-like plants. O'Neill: I take it we have you to thank for destroying the missiles before they hit our ship, thus saving our lives? Ashwan: There was something in our voice that I trusted. O'Neill (pleased): Oh! Did I mention we're sorry? Ashwan: And knowing that the E.M. pulse caused damage to your ship I'm willing to accept that it was unintentional. Kalfass: I'm not so willing. Ashwan: Power has been restored to the cities affected, Kalfass. Kalfass: There was considerable impact on our economic systems. Ashwan: They will recover! Kalfass: But we still don't know the extent of the damage! Ashwan: Nothing! Compared to the event of meeting a race of people from another world for the very first time. It is a profound moment for us. You've said that Tegrea holds the key to returning to your home planet, could you be more specific? Sam: Chairman Ashwan, we believe that you possess a piece of alien technology that is capable of transporting living matter across the galaxy. The hosts are at a loss. O'Neill: We'd like to borrow your Stargate. Ashwan: I'm sorry. Our star-gate...? O'Neill: Kind of a ring-thing? Comes with a dialer with symbols. It spins around and lights come on and it kinda (makes a motion with his hands) flushes sideways? Ashwan shakes his head. Jonas pulls out a large notebook, probably one of Daniel's diaries, and points at a full-page drawing of the Stargate in the SGC, including the ramp that leads up to it. Jonas: It looks like ... this! Once it's activated, it is able to transport you from one planet another instantaneously. In this case from Tegrea to our planet, Earth. He hands around the book. A black council member stares at the drawing, then hands it on with furrowed brow, Kalfass glances at it and smiles derisively, then shows it to Ashwan, commenting as if they were talking of the Yeti... Kalfass: They seek the 'ring of the gods'. O'Neill: If that's what you wanna call it ... 'ring of the gods' is good. Ashwan: Please, understand: This ... device you seek, the ... Stargate, I regret to tell you-- Kalfass: It's a myth! Ashwan: There's never been a shred of evidence to prove its existence. The whole table is quiet, Sam and Jack look at their hosts with desperate eyes. Teal'c begins to smile slightly as... O'Neill: Have you looked around? ... just...? Sam: If you could grant us access to some of your historical data, we might be able to shed some light on this situation...? Kalfass: Nonono... Your freedom of movement is not negotiable. Once this meeting is over, you're to return to your vessel and stay there until further instructed. Ashwan: In the mean time I will have some basic historical data delivered to your ship. Kalfass: Mister Chairman! Ashwan: If you do somehow succeed to prove the existence of this Stargate, we will be glad to help you locate it as an act of good faith between our two worlds. O'Neill: Thank you, Ashwan. They all nod their graceful goodbyes and SG-1 leave the room, Jonas waving goodbye awkwardly. Kalfass turns to Ashwan and chides him... Kalfass: They may well be gathering information for an invasion! Ashwan: Even if you're right, knowing our history will do no harm. But Kalfass, what if this ring *does* exist? Imagine, after all these centuries, finding a piece of our past! Kalfass: And what if our past was buried for a good reason? Ashwan: Travellers from another *world* are seeking our help. INT. Conference room of the Prometheus. Sam, Jonas and Teal'c are sitting at a table covered over and over in books, notes etc. Jonas has a laptop. There are also two female and one male Prometheus crewmembers with them. They all look up as the sliding doors open with a loud swoosh and Jack enters the room. Jack: How is the homework? Jonas: Well, besides the language, there is almost nothing to indicate how these people got here. There's no archaelogical data, no ancient writings, no documentation of any artefacts... Teal'c: I have found no mention of the Cha'apa'ai nor any other technology used by the Goa'uld. O'Neill: Well that's a little weird. The Goa'uld are damned litterbugs. They usually leave a lot of crap behind. He sits down at the table next to Carter. Teal'c: That is most often the case. Jonas: If this is a comprehensive history of Tegrea, it's a joke. Sam: I know, there's nothing here dating back more than 300 years. O'Neill: Maybe a year is longer on this planet? Sam: Maybe sir, but even so. Without an idea of where the Tegreans came from, we have no way of finding the Stargate. Jonas: So either they are hiding something from us, or... Teal'c: Or their entire past has been erased. O'Neill reacts. EXT. The Prometheus with all those nice little hot-air-balloon thingies floating around it. INT. Outside the Elevator on the Prometheus. The doors swish open and Ronson stomps out angrily, followed by O'Neill and Carter. O'Neill is wearing his "I'm begging even though I hate doing this" look. Ronson: You invited them for dinner?! O'Neill: I was thinking more of a ... brunch... Sam: To be honest, Colonel, we offered it in exchange for access to their central archives. O'Neill: A library pass for a tour of the ship. Carter grins at that comment as they continue meandering through various corridors on the ship. Ronson: And when were you going to inform me of this little arrangement? O'Neill and Carter stand opposite Ronson like two kids just caught making out behind a bush, avoiding his eyes and staring around. O'Neill shrugs and dons his puppy eyes... O'Neill: ... Now? Ronson sighs, pauses and attempts another tactic. Ronson: You know, I can appreciate that you want to get home, but my first priority is the security of this ship and crew. O'Neill: Ronson! Your ship and crew are going nowhere unless we find that gate. Ronson: I just don't like the idea of giving a guided tour of Prometheus to the same people who've got gun batteries aimed at us! O'Neill: We'd do the same damned thing. Sam: Colonel Ronson -- we need these people to get home. And we didn't exactly make a good first impression. Ronson looks at Sam, his face tense, considering. He pauses a little in his speech as he replies... Ronson: We'll do this little Barbecue of yours, but that's as far as I go. He steps around Jack, who turns and looks after him. Sam does likewise, not sure whether to shake her head or be relieved that they got Ronson this far. Jack looks after him, turns to Sam, looks after Ronson again... O'Neill: Do we have a Barbecue??? Sam's head snaps to O'Neill, she shakes her head, smirks, turns and leaves him behind without a word. EXT. The familiar view of the Tegrean's main city, factories, trains and all. INT. A huge library full of books, the camera goes sideways following one of the people walking while reading books, one man with a short "the kid from Addams Family" haircut next to one of the larger bookcases, other people in the corridors between the shelves. At a table we see Jonas with a couple of open books in front of a computer terminal, going through two batteries of CD-ROMs, and Teal'c next to him. Teal'c looks suspiciously after a man walking past them with a book, oblivious of their presence. Jonas: How many planets has SG-1 been to? Teal'c: a hundred and thirty-three Jonas: And on each of them -- the ones inhabited by humans at least -- has been some indication of their origins, right? I mean temples, ruins ... Teal'c: It is indeed a mystery, Jonas Quinn. A Goa'uld would not bring this many Tau'ri to a new world and not force them to build monuments in his honor. Jonas: Well, I don't care how hard you try, you can't erase history. Something has to remain. We just need to find it. Teal'c turns his head to see the man near the shelf, who suddenly feigns an increased interest in the scrolls next to him. Teal'c: We are being watched. Jonas: The guy half hiding behind the bookshelf? Ph! He's been chasing us since we got here, ... The man attempts to put a scroll back on the shelf with some others, bringing them all down noisily. Teal'c looks slightly pained by his follower's ineptitude. Jonas smirks with a pitying look on his face. Jonas: ... and not very well either. INT. The Prometheus. Yet another of these numerous corridors, or maybe we're even looking down one onto the bridge. Jack, Ashwan, Sam, Kalfass and the two nameless council members head up the corridor towards us. Ashwan: Most impressive. And you say much of the technology incorporated into your vessel is of ... alien origin? Jack: ... Yyyyesss. Sam steps forward to save her Colonel upon his gesture Sam: Most of the key systems, in fact. (See,) it's one thing to build a ship, it's another to fly it across the galaxy. O'Neill: We haven't quite gotten that part straightened out yet... Sam: We use a rare element called Naquadria to power our hyperdrive engines, but it can be extremely unstable. In fact, that instability ultimately led to the explosion above your planet. We (waves her hand) had to eject the reactor. Ashwan: But why use such a dangerous substance to power your ship? O'Neill: I've asked the *same* question! They turn, Sam probably glaring at him, before turning back and resuming their conversation along with their leisurely slalom walk along various corridors on the ship. Sam: For the time being, Naquadria is our shortcut to interstellar travel. More stable forms of energy simply don't provide enough power to run the hyperdrive. Ashwan: Several of my advisors have expressed concern that this is a military vessel, what would you have to say to them. Jack (from behind them): That ... they're right. Sam: Prometheus was designed primarily for defensive purposes. Kalfass: From these Goa'uld you mentioned? Sam: Yes Kalfass: Without your main source of power? They stop at a corridor, grouping a little, Sam and Jack on the left, Ashwan on the right, Kalfass and the other two in the middle but heading toward Ashwan. The Camera steps aside to show Ronson joining the party. Ronson: With or without the Naquadria reactor, this ship is more than capable of defending itself against ... attack. Sam: May I introduce Colonel William Ronson, Commander of the Prometheus. Ashwan: It is an honor. The two nod towards each other in a polite manner. Kalfass seizes the opportunity to take Ronson up on his offer of testing the waters. Kalfass: I assure you Colonel, we would not attack without provocation. Ronson: There are several gun batteries aimed at my ship, Sir. Kalfass: Well, we must defend ourselves from any action you might take. For instance, should Chairman Ashwan and I fail to appear at a specific time, my men have orders to fire those batteries. Ronson smiles a little forcedly, but can't resist getting in an attempt at getting his will. Ronson: Then perhaps we had better continue the tour. He steps out of the way. Ashwan stretches out one hand towards Carter. Ashwan: Please, Major Carter, after you. Sam: Thank you, Sir. O'Neill motions to Kalfass offscreen. O'Neill: Sir. They walk down the narrow corridor in single file. INT. Tegrea, the library. The man with the weird hair and a turtleneck pullover that just misses being retro peeks out from behind his bookshelf, obviously looking for our two aliens. In the backgound, a few SFs can be seen guarding the exits. The man walks down one of the aisles between the bookshelves, and suddenly Teal'c and Jonas are behind him, stealthily having turned the tables on him. He notices Teal'c's heavy step behind him and turns, smiling awkwardly in a Daniel Jackson kind of way. He's obviously a scientist. Teal'c: May we be of assistance? Terek: Forgive me, I did not want to intrude. (he bows deeply) My name is Terek Salamen. I'm a professor of mathematics here at the university. He grins, as if expecting them to be impressed. Jonas: Well, I'm Jonas Quinn, this is Teal'c. Uhm... if you're curious about us, you should just come over. Terek: With respect, Mr. Quinn, it is not you I was curious about, it is what you seek that interests me. Teal'c: Continue. Terek: I've heard that you seek evidence of the 'ring of the gods'. I believe I can help you find it. He smiles at them proudly, and Jonas raises his eyebrows in surprise. Our two aliens turn towards each other and exchange a look. INT. Prometheus. The heavy doors to a room slide open, and several crewmembers with plates filled with food (looks like meshed potatoes or rice, and peas, plus a little meat ... yummy) enter. We follow one of them to a neatly but spartanically set-up table, which has Major Gant, Carter and O'Neill on one side and The male council member, the woman, Kalfass and Ashwan on the other. O'Neill and Ashwan sit at the front of the table to the side of Ronson, who is hosting the dinner. Ashwan is performing a fascinated vivisection of his meal, while Kalfass and the others seem to be still building up the resolve to attempt it. The plates are set down in front of Carter and Gant, and O'Neill and Ronson are going to be served soon. Ronson: I hope everything is satisfactory. We weren't expecting to host a formal dinner when we started this mission. Ashwan (holding up a fork with peas stuck to the top): It's fascinating! To realize we are eating food, grown and prepared on a world, millions of lightyears away! The female council member smiles acknowledgingly, Kalfass seems to barely suffer it. O'Neill (lifting his glass of water): And frozen, millions ... of ...years ... ago ... ?! Sam has started eating as well, and Ashwan nods in recognition of O'Neill's words. Gant: It's the best we have on board. We see Kalfass examining his fork with interest, then aptly using it to pick up a litthe meshed potatoes with sauce from the top of the heap. He lifts it to his face and smells on it suspiciously. The female council member still seems a little at odds with the purpose of her fork. Sam: Mr. Chairman, we couldn't help but notice in our research that your history seems limited to the last 300 years. Ashwan pauses a little, eyes on the food, considering his words under the scrutiny of Kalfass. Ashwan: Prior to our ... recorded history, our people endured a long and terrible ... dark age. One they desperately wished to forget. And thus only after Tegrea emerged from this black era, the historians began again to record events. Sam: But that means that you're missing thousands of years of the past? Kalfass: Yes. O'Neill: Aren't you ... curious? Ashwan: Well it's hardly a question of choice, Colonel. Even if we wished to know our ancient history -- there is none to study. All evidence of it was destroyed centuries ago. Kalfass: We believe that what came before year zero has no intrinsic value to our society. The society of the new era has no need to know how they suffered. Ronson: On Earth, we study our past to learn from it. Kalfass: Whereas we believe that Nostalgia is a sign of weakness. They exchange challenging stares, then go back to hide behind polite but forced smiles. O'Neill stares ahead, obviously trying to think of a way to save the situation, then turns towards Sam. She picks up his look and quickly offers... Sam: I'm sure both points of view have merit. Ashwan: Well said, Major! Ronson and Kalfass pull back, the situation diffused -- for the moment. Ashwan: A drink: to history. And to the future. The Tegreans raise their drinks to their foreheads for the toast, while the Earthers toast lower. Ashwan mimics Earth-style. It takes O'Neill a while to attempt an uncomfortably-looking Tegrean toast. Kalfass doesn't appear very pleased at anything Ashwan has said so far. INT. A corridor on Prometheus, Ashwan and O'Neill lead the group around a corner, followed by Sam and Kalfass, then the other two council members. Kalfass: Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, the meal was ... interesting. Sam: Glad you liked it. O'Neill: He didn't say *that*. Ashwan: Well, I did, thank you. O'Neill: Yeah, you know, now that we got to know each other a little better, you think that having those guns pointed at us is completely necessary? Kalfass: Would your Colonel Ronson not be as vigilant? Jack has marched a little ahead, not noticing the others have stopped. He turns and shrugs. O'Neill: Yesss... I'm sure he would. Kalfass nods in agreement, then motions towards O'Neill with his right arm. Kalfass: Mr. Chairman. Ashwan (does likewise): Go on Kalfass, I will join you in a moment. Kalfass pauses, then gives in as he, Carter and the two nameless ones go ahead, leaving O'Neill and Ashwan behind. Ashwan: I apologize for Commander kalfass' behavior, diplomacy is not his strength. O'Neill: Yes, we share that quality in common. Ashwan: Since I took office, I have been perceived publicly as being weak in matters of civic defense. As a result, Kalfass has growing political support. O'Neill: Our arrival hasn't helped things much, has it? Ashwan: No. My only hope is that mistrust does not interfere with your quest for the Stargate. I believe finding it would be a great discovery for our people. INT. The office of Terek Salam. Numerous wooden "toy airplane models" (or maybe they're of paper?) that look like crosses between DaVinci's flying machine and steam train engines are hanging from the ceiling. Besides that, it might be Daniel's office at a University. Full of books, crates of stuff, and a heavy wooden desk with a couple of books and artefacts neatly arranged on it. There are two chairs in front of the desk and one behind it, in front of a colourful glass window. Teal'c enters and regards everything, not quite comprehending. Teal'c sits down and Jonas, while speaking, does likewise, curiously playing with the lid on a vase. Terek: Please, excuse the state of my office. Jonas: So! You said you could help us find the ... 'ring of the gods' ... how? Terek: Ah... with these... I spent a ... a lifetime collecting them. Relics from before my people tuned their back on their god. He bends down complicatedly, opens a trunk behind him and pulls out a couple of objects. An Ankh, a little Sarcophagus with a golden Tut-Ankh-Ahmon-style mask and other trinkets. Teal'c: To which god are you referring? Terek: Our creator, Horus. Only a few of us dare believe in him. He pulls a chain from his neck that has a golden hawk on it. Teal'c: The symbol of Heru-ur! Terek: You know him? Teal'c: Heru-ur is not a god. He is a Goa'uld. Terek (unbelieving): He's the one who made us! The relics speak of him as the creator of all life, the one who spoke us into existence. Jonas: More likely he's the one who enslaved your ancestors and brought them here from Earth. Teal'c: Heru-ur must have abandoned your people many years ago. When the resources he sought were depleted. Jonas: Then the Tegreans must have tried to destroy all evidence of their former gods in an act of defiance, including everything to do with the Stargate. Terek: They did not destroy everything! This remains. He turns and takes out an old piece of scripture, written on parchment. Wrapped in rough, brown fabric for protection. It has red writing on it, hieroglyphs, and in the middle there is a drawing of the Stargate, Chevrons around a circle, and wavy lines indicating water in its center. He hands it to Jonas, who exchanges a meaningful glance with Teal'c: This is it. Terek: My understanding of this language is extremely limited, but it appears to be an etching of something called a Chap'ai? Teal'c: Cha'apa'ai. Terek: Aha. Jonas: This text is a slight variation of pre-dynastic Egyptian. It is beautiful. The section right here says: "heru-ur's Stargate we found in the great desert to the north" Terek: Oh, it must mean the wastelands of An-hur. They lie far beyond the city. I found many of my artefacts there. Jonas: Really? Another meaningful glance. then Jonas looks back to the two unhappy SFs that have been trailing them all the time. Jonas: Guys? We'd like to take a little field trip. INT. Tegrean council hall with the triangular table. Kalfass enters, obviously ill at rest and toying with the holster of his gun at his side. Opposite him, in his usual place at the tip of the triangle sits Ashwan, reading some reports. Slowly Kalfass walks around the table to where Ashwan is sitting. Kalfass: They want to be taken to coordinates somewhere in the wasteland. Ashwan: Then take them. Kalfass: I think that's a mistake. Ashwan: Because they may find something you do not wish them to find? Kalfass: If this is some sort of reconaissance prior to an invasion...! Ashwan: You are being ridiculous. Kalfass: And you are being reckless! Ashwan: Representatives from another *world* have come to Tegrea! Another World! Do you understand?! And what's more, they seek our help! They glare at each other, and for the second time in the entire episode, Ashwan clearly seems to be mad at Kalfass and doesn't care to sound calm and polite. There's no doubt they're having an argument there. Kalfass: We do not even know their true intentions! Ashwan: Or what they can offer us. An exchange of knowledge and technology, the Stargate could open up the universe for our people! Kalfass: A universe of potential enemies! I demand that you reconsider! Ashwan: We cannot undo what has happened! (very calmly) The difference is, Kalfass, I would not, if I could. They are here, and we must deal with them, one way or another. I prefer to help. Kalfass: And I prefer to-- Ashwan: And now, have them taken to the coordinates! (nods with finality) Kalfass (nods coldly, hoarsely): As you wish. (he leaves) EXT. The An-hur wastelands, Teal'c, Terek and Jonas are standing in the middle of a plane, where about three very ruined pillars remain standing. In the background, a few SFs and a tank or two can be seen. Jonas is holding the parchment, studying it once again. He points out things to his companions, Terek is intently following his words. Jonas: The Stargate should be located directly in the middle of the second and third monument. Teal'c: Are you certain, Jonas Quinn? Jonas: That's what it says. We fade over to ... EXT. Still the wastelands, between the two monuments. Our three heroes are digging eagerly in the sand. A man behind them leaning against some large of vehicle, watching their efforts. Teal'c suddenly hits something hard. Teal'c: Jonas. He pokes at it some more, and it gives the sound of shovel against stone. Jonas: Think that's the cover stones? Teal'c: Indeed. Jonas kneels down, putting aside his shovel and beginning to wipe away the inch-thick layer of sand, his Colleagues eagerly watching. He pulls out a brush and begins wiping the sand off the stones, uncovering writing in Goa'uld or a similar writing. It's written in a cartouche, not unlike the coordinates on the Giza cover stones. Jonas (reads): Here lies Cha'apa'ai of Heru-ur, false god of the people of Tegrea who'll never know the daylight again (?). Terek: The ring exists! INT. Prometheus. Sam is looking at reactor schematics on the wall screen again. O'Neill is nearby with his radio. Teal'c (radio): O'Neill. O'Neill: What's up, T. ? Teal'c: I believe we have located the Stargate. Quick look back to Teal'c standing in the wastelands. Then we see O'Neill and Sam exchanging surprised looks. O'Neill returns to the radio. O'Neill: Well that's good news. Teal'c: (almost smiling) We will require assistance to retrieve it. O'Neill: We'll talk to Ashwan. (as an afterthought) Nice job! He turns to Sam who's smiling behind him, then both of them turn around, Sam returning to her console while Jack heads off. EXT. The Wastelands, the uncovered cover stones. Now we see an incredible sequence reminiscent of the dig sequence at the start of the movie, the images fading into each other, without any spoken words, just the music building up. We see crowbars pushing into the gaps between the coverstones, trying to get some leverance. Lots of Tangrean helpers here. We see Jonas helping them lift away one of the segments of the coverstones. Then we get a beautiful overhead view of the scene, the coverstones one big stone circle, in the middle a smaller circle with an Egyptian-style drawing of a man (Heru-ur?) engraved and the Cartouche on the circle next to him. At the top of the circle, the workers are removing the first segment, and a hint of Stargate can barely be seen underneath. The image fades several times and we see more and more segments of the coverstones being removed, freeing almost half of the chevrons, then two thirds. To this, the Stargate theme sounds beautifully in strong low-pitched tones. As the final segment is being prepared, we hear Sam's voice offscreen... Sam: Jonas! We see her and Terek in a sand hole, uncovering the DHD. Sam: Looks good! It looks intact! EXT. The wastelands, a little ways off. A couple dozen soldiers are hidden in the grass, and at their peak behind a boulder, Kalfass observes the scene with a Monocular (?). We see the site how he sees it. The people are gathered around a large, thin crane, then we see him remove his head from the glass and he reacts. Meanwhile, at the site, we see half a dozen workers supporting the gate with ropes, while the crane begins pulling the gate upright. We see our three hobby-archaeologists at the winch, observing the process. We see the gate being erected against the sunlight, the camera panning around a lone shovel, giving us a nice view of the dig site. As the gate exceeds 45 degrees, we can see sand pouring out one of the gate's chevrons. The men are straining against their ropes, preventing the gate from falling over in the other direction, and then it stands upright. We pan past the exhausted workers to see Terek and Jonas at the DHD... Jonas: Well, let's give it a shot. He hits nine symbols and the centerpiece, and we can see the Chevrons lighting up in concert with his pushes, and then the wormhole erupts, making the workers take a few steps back in surprise before the vortex stabilizes. Jonas Smiles to Teal'c. Success! Suddenly, gunshots impact to the side of our friends. plowing through the sand, and a little off we see Kalfass at the gun turret of one of the tanks, accompanied by armed soldiers running along at his side. He's firing at them! Our archaeologists react, and as Kalfass' tank almost jumps over the top of a little dune, he is close enough and decelerates. Jonas and Terek stare in disbelief as he comes to a halt, engine still rattling. Jonas: Kalfass, what are you doing? Kalfass: I'm taking back what belongs to my people! EXT. Our view of the city, and yet another pair of trains. I'd really be interested in seeing that schedule. INT. The council room. Ashwan is pacing to and fro in front of O'Neill and Carter, the female council member is behind him, looking emphatically with a futuristic notepad in her hand. Ashwan: His actions are outrageous! O'Neill: Tell him to stand down. Ashwan: I've done exactly that, Colonel. He refuses. He claims to be protecting Tegrea's security. O'Neill: Have him arrested. Ashwan: Kalfass commands a great loyalty among many in the military. Challenging him would only lead to civil war. Sam: Sir, we could use the Prometheus. Her weapons would be more than a match for Kalfass's troops. O'Neill: There is still that nagging problem of all those guns pointed at it... Ashwan: I've chosen the commander of those gun batteries myself. He is loyal to me. Colonel, I will give you my word: He will not fire upon your ship. O'Neill swallows. EXT. The Wastelands. Scores of guards with drawn guns at the dig site, the tank, and our archaeologists and their helpers kneeling not far from the gate. A guard is tying Jonas's wrists together with zip-cuffs. Jonas: Kalfass, you have no idea what you're dealing with here. Kalfass: I know our ancestors buried this device for a reason... Jonas: Maybe they were wrong? maybe ... it's time for you to stop being afraid of the past. Kalfass: No, it's not the past I'm concerned about, it's the future. Having assessed our strength, you would undoubtedly return with greater numbers. Teal'c: You have nothing to fear from the Tau'ri. Jonas: We just wanna fix our ship. Our people can become friends, they can exchange knowledge, even trade. We'll even teach you how to use the Stargate. Kalfass: Yes. You will teach me how to use it. INT. Prometheus, the back of the bridge with the star chart. O'Neill and Ronson have just entered. They're heading forward, talking, then Ronson sits down in his chair. O'Neill: They're holding two of our men prisoner. We need the ship. Ronson: Our shields are still down, Jack. If we take take off and they open fire with those guns...! O'Neill: Ashwan. Promised. They wouldn't. Ronson: He just lost control of his government, and I'm going to trust the safety of my crew to his word? O'Neill: Yes. That's what you're going to do. Ronson: Jack, if you're asking me to risk everyone on this ship-- Ashwan (entering with Sam and the female council member): If that is so, Colonel Ronson, then I will be taking the same risk. You may launch your vessel when ready. You'll not be fired upon. Jack shoots Ronson a "Now get it over with!"-look, and Ronson sighs. Ronson: Major Gant? Gant: Sir? Ronson: Fire up the sublight engines. (klaxons go off) Arm all available weapons, and prepare to return fire. On *my* orders only. Ashwan: That will not be necessary, Colonel. He turns, and they leave the bridge again. As Ronson sits down, he warns Jack... Ronson: Let's hope your old man is right, or this is going to be a short ride. EXT. On the landing field. The Prometheus lifts off, and the balloons around it appear to be looking after it longingly, but nobody fires a single shot. INT. Prometheus bridge. Gant is listening into her headset. Gant: No sign of weapons fire from the gun batteries, Sir. I think we're clear. O'Neill gives Ronson his politest "I told you so"-look, and Ronson accepts it with an almost-smile. They're both glad Jack was right. Ronson: Very well. Proceed to the coordinates at one third thrust. DeLuise: Yes, sir. EXT. The dig site. The Prometheus flies in above the Stargate, the prisoners and their guards stare upwards at the huge brick floating above them. Kalfass and the other male council member stare upwards in disbelief. INT. Prometheus. The corridor leading to the ring transporter. O'Neill, Ashwan and Sam are headed out. Sam: Are you sure you're up to this, Mr. Chairman? Things could get outta hand here-- Ashwan: I'm not afraid Major. I should have done this a long time ago. Ronson (comm): This is Ronson. We're in position. O'Neill (into his radio): Roger that. The crewman in the background types on the panel again, making it bleep, and the ring transporter whooshes our party of three... EXT. The dig site on Tegrea. Sam and Jack are standing back to back, rifles primed, Ashwan at their side facing in Jack's direction. O'Neill is talking to the radio on his shoulder. O'Neill: Prometheus, hold your fire until my signal. Ronson (radio): Prometheus has your six, SG-1. Sam turns to look over the Colonel's shoulder, while Kalfass glances at the huge spacecraft looming overhead that just crashed his party. O'Neill and Ashwan look around, but no offer of negotiations is forthcoming. Ashwan takes in the scene, and then begins... Ashwan: Kalfass, this has gone far enough. Release these men. Kalfass: Hold your positions. We can not let him hand this device over to the aliens. O'Neill and Ashwan look around once more, but their situation hasn't changed. Ashwan reconsiders his tactics. He smiles charismatically... Ashwan: Commander Kalfass. (he nods acknowledgingly, looking around to the soldiers, raising a hand almost-pointing at K.) He's a good man, a cautious man. But he thinks as our ancestors did, that it is better to control what we do not understand, to bury it, so it can not harm us. I, too, once thought as he does. But no longer. These ... aliens that Kalfass fears so much are not conquerors. They are long-lost brethren. Kalfass looks around, a little unsure. Are my people listening to him? Ashwan continues in stride, turning towards the gate, pointing upwards at it. Ashwan: Look at it! This ... is where we came from! This is who we are! Our ancestors erased our history, our fear. And yet, without our history, we cannot know who we are! Or what we may, some day, become! I will not make that same mistake. He walks up to Kalfass, addressing him directly, and in a low, well-composed voice. Ashwan: I am relieving you of your command. You and your men will stand down. He turns, but nothing happens. He turns back around, and firmly, with a threatening undertone... Ashwan: I said: Lower your weapons! The guards look around, then slowly, confusedly begin lowering their weapons. Jonas and Teal'c breathe in relief, Sam and Jack exchange relieved looks. Ashwan smiles, then addresses the other council member... Ashwan: Take him away. The man takes Kalfass' gun, and the guards escort him away. O'Neill walks up to Ashwan. O'Neill: Didn't know that you had that in you. Ashwan: Neither did I. They both share a grin. EXT. The dig site in front of the gate. The dust tail and sound of a car driving away can be heard and seen through the Stargate, where we see Jonas, Jack and Sam saying their goodbyes at the DHD. Sam: We'll be back in a few days with some equipment to repair our ship. Ashwan: Until then, Colonel Ronson and his crew will be our honored guests. I hope you will join us at a state dinner upon your return? Sam and Jack both smile in agreement, and Jack walks a little with Ashwan and the female council member while Sam turns to Jonas and Terek at the DHD. Jonas: Hey, thanks Terek! Terek: Oh, thank you. I hope you will soon return. There is much to learn about our history. Jonas: Yeah, we can definitely help you out there, but you know more than most people on your planet. (to Sam) Got a feeling this guy's gonna be getting a bigger office soon... Sam smiles, then hits the seven symbols on the DHD. The camera zooms in on the middle button as we can hear the wormhole engage. (Cool end theme goes here)
