STARGATE SG1
Episode 319
"NEW GROUND"
By
Heather E. Ash
Another Planet. Two people, a male and female are staring at
the gate as the chevrons start locking. They look as if they
have no clue what is happening.
Control Room
TECHNICIAN
Chevron four locked.
Hammond comes in.
HAMMOND
Report
SAM
We just got our first hit with the cold
address program - P2X- 416.
HAMMOND
Prepare the MALP.
Jack walks in.
Two people on other side looking more scared by the second at
the gate as it dials.
WOMAN
We must leave, Nyan.
The gate activates and they dive out of the way. They get up
and look at the gate confused. They walk towards it, cautiously.
WOMAN
Nyan! You'll drown!
NYAN
Doesn't feel like water.
Nyan pulls his hand in and the MALP that comes through makes
him back away.
In the control room...
DANIEL
What's up?
SAM
Cold dialing program made a positive
hit on P2X-416.
Daniel sits next to Sam.
DANIEL
Wonder why...
SAM
Looks like the locals have unburied
the Stargate after the computer last
dialed.
JACK
Now see, that's what I don't understand
- how does a computer know how to do
that?
SAM
It doesn't Sir. I created the cold dialing
software to periodically redial cartouche
Stargate addresses that hadn't connected
the first time. This is our first hit.
JACK
Oh.
SAM
Receiving MALP telemetry... now.
See on computer screen landscape that has a beaten up flat clearly
with mountains and trees. Basically like British Columbia. MALP
looks, Danny looks. We see `Nyan' and that... woman.
WOMAN
Nyan? What is it?
NYAN
I don't know.
Nyan walks out of MALP view.
DANIEL
Could you uh... can you follow him?
MALP follows. Daniel puts on headset.
DANIEL
Hello Nyan. Don't be afraid. Uh, uh...
my name is Daniel Jackson.
View from other side half way through Daniel talking.
NYAN
Are you a mechanical life form?
DANIEL
No. I'm communicating to you through
that device.
NYAN
From where?
WOMAN
This is a trick. We must report this
Nyan.
NYAN
No not yet.
Woman takes Nyan to the side.
WOMAN
(whispering) Why?
From Control Room...
DANIEL
Sir, request permission to visit P2X-416?
JACK
Wait a minute...
DANIEL
Jack they're obviously intelligent.
Judging by their clothes and tools they
appear to be close to our level of technology.
JACK
Has anyone seen a DHD in this transmission?
MALP looks for one. See Nyan and the other person talking, but
no DHD.
SAM
He's right.
HAMMOND
Maybe you should take a Naquadah reactor
with you so you can dial up the gate
manually.
View from P2X-416 (nice name)
NYAN
(walking closer to MALP) Mallen (finally
a name for the woman!) I believe we
found the Gateway.
MALLEN
There is no gateway. That is Optrican
legend.
NYAN
Then how do you explain this?
MALLEN
This could be very dangerous Nyan. Do
you realize what this could mean? (Well
we sure the hell don't)
NYAN
It would mean we were wrong. And the
Optricans were right.
DANIEL
(over the MALP) Nyan is it all right
if we visit you?
MALLEN
(whispering) No!
NYAN
Yes.
DANIEL
Okay, we'll be with you shortly. Uh,
try to stay close to that mechanical
device I'm talking through. And try
to avoid that splash you saw before.
It's kinda dangerous.
Mallen starts running away.
NYAN
We will be waiting to welcome you Daniel.
Stargate turns off. Nyan sees Mallen running.
NYAN
Mallen! Come back! If you tell them
they might kill whoever comes through!
Mallen! (Oh yeah, couldn't have told
the Heroes that could ya?)
Opening credits.
Wee! Little scene where they travel through the gate. The blue
one with the spiral thing.
P2X-415. We see Daniel and Sam come through hauling a reactor,
Teal'c and Jack follow. Gate shuts off. Sam and Daniel put down
the reactor. Daniel goes over to Nyan.
DANIEL
Hello Nyan.
NYAN
You're... you're human.
DANIEL
Yes. I'm uh... Daniel Jackson. The person
you talked to before. This is Major
Carter, Colonel Jack O'Neill, and Teal'c.
We're from a planet called Earth. You
all right?
NYAN
Then the legend is true...
DANIEL
What, uh, what legend is that?
NYAN
The Optricans believe that humans were
brought to this planet by aliens who
traveled through a gateway. But during
the Upheaval, the gateway was buried
so the beings could no longer come through.
DANIEL
What was the Upheaval?
NYAN
A period of violent earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions covering most of
this continent almost 2000 years ago.
SAM
If the Stargate has been buried for
that long, how did you know where to
look for it?
NYAN
I was not looking for it. I was hoping
to find a primitive settlement that
was here before the Upheaval. I was
hoping to prove the Bedrosian theory.
JACK
What's that?
NYAN
That human life was created on Bedrosia
without a gateway.
JACK
Ah.
SAM
So this, this country is called Bedrosia?
NYAN
This continent.
DANIEL
Then who are the Optricans?
NYAN
A rival continent.
JACK
Rival as in... what?
NYAN
We believe that we were created on this
continent and they believe that their
holy gateway is on this continent. Therefore
we've been at war for decades.
JACK
Okay, Carter, you wanna make sure that
reactor's all hooked up, just in case?
You mind if I ask how close to the front
lines we might be?
NYAN
A great distance. There is no need for
concern.
Jack nods, looks at Daniel.
Teal'c (Who hasn't had a line yet) is looking around. He hears
a noise and looks ahead and above. See three ships coming over
to them. One goes left, other goes right, third keeps going straight...
TEAL'C
O'Neill! (Points his staff towards the
ship)
Nyan, Jack, Daniel look and see them.
NYAN
(Whispering) Oh no. (Aloud) We have
to hide.
JACK
I thought you said they weren't around
here?
NYAN
They're my people - Bedrosians.
JACK
Good guys?
NYAN
Those are not the first words I would
use to describe the ones who approach.
JACK
Ah.
NYAN
We must run. Now.
JACK
Okay.
SAM
I need five minutes before I can be
operational Sir.
NYAN
This way, quickly. (Runs away)
JACK
Screw it. Let's go. Come on.
Jack, Sam, Daniel all go to run but shield from the ship that
is now over-head appears in front of them. Daniel goes for side
but gets blocked. Sam goes for another side, fails. Soon they
are completely surrounded. Jack fires his weapon at ship, causing
no damage.
Teal'c fires staff from the bushes close by.
The shield slowly closes in and one by one they get touched and
fall unconscious on the ground. Shield goes away. Teal'c runs
deeper into bushes. He looks and sees another ship. He hides
and waits.
Close by the Stargate
People inspecting the MALP, reactor, and some guys have weapons
pointed. Zoom out to see that it's SG-1 minus Teal'c cuffed,
and on their knees (gotta feel sorry for Jack with his bad knees).
JACK
Do you believe we come in peace?
Guy walks with weapon to Jack's side.
JACK
Got a commanding officer around here?
No answers from anyone.
JACK
Wow, though crowd.
SAM
What happened to Nyan?
JACK
I'd imagine he's saving his own butt
right about now.
Bushes
Teal'c looks around. Hears noise, points staff in front of him.
Sees a soldier guy with a weapon searching around. Guy slowly
leaves. Teal'c hears twigs breaking behind him. Teal'c suddenly
turns around and fires staff weapon at the local. At the same
time, the soldier guy fires his weapon hitting Teal'c right
about at the eye. They both fall down. (Oh no!)
By Stargate again on planet.
Doors to a ship open while SG-1 are still guarded. A guy with
a limp (who will be known as Limp for a while) walks out, followed
by two guys with weapons.
LIMP
Mallen.
Mallen walks out of ship, followed by a woman... guard... person.
LIMP
You said there were aliens here.
MALLEN
Yes Sir. Those people came through the
gateway.
LIMP
No. They didn't. It's a trick.
See Jack looking around.
LIMP
A contrivance.
MALLEN
Perhaps. But one of those aliens is
named Daniel. He talked to Nyan through
the machine that came through the circle.
LIMP
A shuttlecraft will take you to my base.
(Nods to someone) We will question you
on this matter further.
Guards take Mallen back into `craft'. Limp and UNW unnamed
woman and another guy head over to SG-1.
LIMP
Either this Nyan fired at my craft or
another Optrican is out there. (Stops
walking) Either way I want them found.
GUARD
Yes Sir.
Guard walks ahead of the other people.
UNW takes small container over to SG-1. She has a needle in her
hands.
JACK
Okay. That's a needle.
Guy behind Jack zaps him with the staff looking type weapon.
Needle goes in, needle comes out.
JACK
Ow!
UNW gets handed another needle. Goes over to Sam, needle goes
in, needle comes out. Same with Daniel (Danny whumpers don't
get the satisfaction of seeing it. Damn.)
LIMP
Which of you in Daniel?
JACK
I'm in Command. Colonel Jack O'Neill
here.
LIMP
I am unfamiliar with that Optrican designation.
SAM
We're not Optrican. We're explorers
from another planet.
DANIEL
We traveled through the Stargate.
LIMP
This type of psychological warfare simulating
the Optrican gateway fallacy to undermine
our most basic beliefs, will not work.
(Huh? LOL.)
JACK
Yeah. I know that can be hard to believe.
So why don't you let us show you how
the Stargate works, and if you're still
not convinces, we'll just take our stuff
and go. Fair enough?
Limp looks at Jack, then at Sam.
LIMP
Erect a quarantine field.
Limp walks away.
JACK
Hey!
(If you commercials when you were walking this, it would go to
commercial right about now. Depending...)
Bushes. (Yay, again.)
Teal'c is lying on the ground; apparently unconscious Nyan comes
by and touched him. Teal'c grabs his throat.
TEAL'C
State your purpose.
Nyan tries to speak.
NYAN
... Nyan... (Great! You know your name!
Now, tomorrow we'll learn how to count!)
Teal'c left him go, giving him a little push, causing Nyan to
fall on the solider guy that Teal'c killed. (Remember everyone?)
Nyan is scared, gets up, and goes over to Teal'c. Helps him sit
up. They hear a shuttlecraft and look around.
NYAN
We have to get away from here. (No...
Sherlock...)
TEAL'C
Where are my friends?
NYAN
Captured.
TEAL'C
I will not leave my friends.
Teal'c moves his hands around, searching for something.
NYAN
We can't get to them. Rigar (A name!)
has set up a quarantine field. And as
soon as he find the solider you killed...
Teal'c is still moving his hands around, looking for his staff,
which is almost right next to him. Nyan finally gives the staff
weapon to Teal'c. Teal'c gets up.
Nyan waves hand in front of Teal'c's face, getting no reaction.
NYAN
You're blind. (Nooo!!!)
By the Stargate.
Ship comes down and goes through the force field. Two guards
are checking out the MALP. Others are digging.
GUARD
They were starting to dig here.
RIGAR A.K.A LIMP
Finish for them. I want to know what's
in there.
Rigar heads over to the UNW (UnNameableWoman) from before.
UNW
I have the results from the blood analyses.
There is a 98% correspondent. They are
definitely human. But none of them are
showing the particle match with the
Bedrosian registry.
RIGAR
Then that proves they are Optrican.
No answer. (LOL)
RIGAR
Does it not? Say what you were thinking.
UNW
(Whispering) What if they are telling
the truth? What is it is the gateway?
And the Optricans were right.
RIGAR
No. It's a lie.
UNW
But how can you be sure?
RIGAR
I am sure because we have not spent
our lives praying to a god who does
not exist. And many of our people have
not lost their lives fighting a meaningless
war. I won't accept that. I have studied
the book of Nefertum (I spelt it wrong,
so, you can correct it if you want to)
word for word. Cover to cover. It is
the truth.
UNW
What if it's not?
RIGAR
It is the truth. We began here. That
device is a fabrication to fake the
Optrican myth.
UNW
To what end?
RIGAR
To sow the seeds of doubt among our
people. To create dissension from within.
I will not allow our people to have
their faith to be attacked in such a
cynical way. (Nicely said. Man he may
be a jerk, but ya gotta give him credit
with the way he can put together a sentence.)
UNW
What do you want to do?
RIGAR
We will not allow the events that have
transpired to leave this place.
UNW
Then we must find this Nyan and the
forth... Optrican. (Awww come on! Be
on SG-1's side!)
RIGAR
Yes. And we'll find out what we can
from the three we have in custody. Then
we will dispose of them.
Rigar walks away. The Un Nameable Woman follows.
UNW
(muttering) Yes Sir.
A cave. (Nice.)
Nyan is escorting the blind Teal'c in.
NYAN
We come here for shelter. We also keep
supplies here.
Nyan turns on a light.
NYAN
Are you injured in addition to your
eyes?
TEAL'C
I will be fine.
Nyan takes Teal'c over to the other side of the cave.
NYAN
You can sit here. Here.
Teal'c finds the spot and sits. Nyan looks in a container. He
gets out a canister and gives it to Teal'c. Slowly opens it and
drinks.
NYAN
It's water. It's amazing how one discovery
could change everything. For years I
have searched for proof that we were
created on this continent by Nefertum.
TEAL'C
Nefertum? Blue lotus blossom of Ra.
NYAN
He is represented in our text by a clue
lotus blossom. But what is Ra? And how
do you know about Nefertum.
TEAL'C
Nefertum was an under System lord to
the one named Ra, with whom I did battle.
NYAN
I do not understand. Nefertum was and
is the creator of all of us. He created
this planet and this great continent.
TEAL'C
Correction Nefertum was an alien who
most likely brought your people through
the Stargate as slaves many of thousands
of years ago.
NYAN
That is what the Optricans say.
TEAL'C
They are correct.
NYAN
Oh great Nefertum this is blasphemy.
But if it is true it could change everything.
I must show my colleagues at the research
academy.
TEAL'C
Can you be certain they would believe
you?
NYAN
They are scientists as I am. They will
realize they are wrong when presented
with the evidence.
TEAL'C
Your military has the Stargate under
its command.
NYAN
Not the gateway. You are proof.
TEAL'C
I will not be the proof. And I will
not allow my friends to be imprisoned
as they are.
Teal'c stands.
TEAL'C
You must help me rescue them.
`Junior' Teal'c's symbiote moves from within.
NYAN
Let me see.
Nyan moves to take a look, but Teal'c stops him.
TEAL'C
Do not.
NYAN
You could have a serious injury.
TEAL'C
I will be fine.
NYAN
I have something that will help. I'll
bring it back with the other supplies.
Nyan scampers off, leaving blind Teal'c alone.
TEAL'C
Nyan.
Teal'c tries to follow Nyan, hits cave wall, disturbing bat like
animals. They swarm over Teal'c but he bats them off. (LOL.)
Now Teal'c has a bite or cut on the back of his head. (Yay.)
By Stargate, but now we have a bit tent compound looking... thing.
(Huh?)
Jack, Sam, and Daniel are in little metal caged. Jack sticks
his foot out and touches the metal. Zap! Electrical charge in
the cage. (Well, just getting better and better huh?)
JACK
That hurts.
DANIEL
Well this day just keeps getting better
and better huh...
Jack looks around.
JACK
Yeah.
Cave.
Teal'c has staff weapon in hand, prepared the shoot Nyan's head
off by accident of course. He hears some noises.
Inside `structure' where SG-1 is being held. Rigar picks up radio
that in on the table with all the other crap they carry around
all the time. (Wow.) You can see three grenades, three GDOs,
six clips for MP5, a MP5, two 9mm, three radios, two journals,
three watches, three compasses, and much, much more! Rigar walks
over to Jack after putting the radio down. Jack is in his cage,
no Sam and Daniel, but two guards.
Rigar takes weapon from one guard and the two guards leave, just
leaving Jack and Rigar in the room.
JACK
We should talk.
RIGAR
Yes. Let us talk of your friend in the
words.
JACK
I have no friends. In the woods or otherwise.
Now Daniel is in the cage instead of Jack.
DANIEL
We're not spies. We're peaceful explorers.
(Yes that's what we all say.) We traveled
through what you call your gateway.
Switch to Sam.
SAM
Fine the Stargate but that's what we
came through.
RIGAR
All four of you?
SAM
All three of us.
RIGAR
It is impossible for one to travel to
other planets, much less through a circle
of stone.
SAM
The Stargate isn't made of regular stone.
If given enough power a wormhole forms
within the circle that allows us to
travel to other worlds.
RIGAR
Wormhole?
Jack's turn.
JACK
Giant worms. Huge.
Daniel turn.
DANIEL
Wormhole is just an expression. It has
nothing to do with worms. It's a tunnel
through space.
RIGAR
And how is this illusion of water created
that I have heard described?
DANIEL
Well, you're right in that. It is an
illusion. It's not actually water.
RIGAR
Then what is it?
JACK
Magic.
SAM
It's an event horizon created up of
quantum particles that form a wormhole.
DANIEL
An alien race... the Goa'uld. Used the
Stargate to transport humans from earth.
Rigar goes to get the weapon.
DANIEL
... which is how your people ended up
on Bedrosia—
Rigar zaps Daniel with the weapon. (Hehe... Danny whumping.)
RIGAR
My people began on Bedrosia as did yours.
We were all created by Nefertum.
DANIEL
Nefertum? Son of Sakhmet, "Blue lotus
blossom"? (If they sat that one more
time, so help me.) That's who you believed
created you?
RIGAR
Yes.
DANIEL
Well he must have been a Goa'uld.
RIGAR
A what?
DANIEL
An alien. He must have transported your
people through the Star—
Daniel gets zapped again by Rigar's weapon. Danny looks pissed.
Cave
(Ah!) Teal'c has his hand in his pouch. Yeah, juniors. Nyan comes
back.
NYAN
What are you doing?
Teal'c takes his hand out.
NYAN
You're an alien.
Teal'c puts his shirt back on.
TEAL'C
Come no further.
NYAN
But I though you were all human.
TEAL'C
Speak of it no more.
NYAN
What are you?
TEAL'C
As I have said, speak of it no more.
I did not believe you would return.
NYAN
You are the most important thing that
has ever happened to my planet. All
though I have not decided yet whether
it is a good thing or bad. I brought
something for your eyes. It is a healing
device, among other things can regenerate
the visual nerve. It will help most
of your sight return in a day. Of course
it is designed for human so how you
will respond is—
TEAL'C
I have no need for it. My sight will
return on its own.
NYAN
Because you're an alien?
TEAL'C
The others are human. I am a Jaffa.
I possess within me a symbiote that
accelerates healing.
NYAN
Forgive me, but you do not appear to
be healing at all.
TEAL'C
My symbiote was severely damaged by
my own staff energy blast. It must first
heal itself.
NYAN
How long will that take?
TEAL'C
It could be days.
NYAN
Could it not die itself?
TEAL'C
It is possible.
NYAN
And if that happens?
TEAL'C
Then I too will die.
`Prison Tent'
Jack and Sam are in cages, can't see Daniel. Jack hears a noise
and looks up.
The woman UNW and `guards' come in.
JACK
Problem?
They zap Daniel once with weapon and take him away.
They drag him outside where some people are looking at something
on the ground.
RIGAR
Move!
They move out of the way.
RIGAR
Explain.
Daniel looks and sees the guy Teal'c killed.
RIGAR
Explain!
DANIEL
I can't.
RIGAR
There is a forth. He did this.
DANIEL
No there isn't. I don't know how this
man was killed.
The guards pull Daniel over to the other location, and drop him
on his knees.
RIGAR
Explain this.
They all look at the DHD that is mainly buried. Only the top
is dug up.
Cave. Nyan is sitting on container, Teal'c is sitting on edge.
TEAL'C
What do your people intend to do with
my friends?
NYAN
They are evidence that everything my
people believe in is wrong. That everything
my enemy believes is right. That is
not an easy thing for military minds
to digest.
TEAL'S
They then will kill my friends. Destroy
the Stargate and deny that this event
ever occurred.
NYAN
Probably.
TEAL'C
We must soon depart.
NYAN
To do what?
TEAL'C
Rescue them.
NYAN
You're still blind.
TEAL'C
I will manage.
Nyan grabs the staff weapon away from Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Nyan!
NYAN
You will?
Nyan give the staff back.
NYAN
I will not be part of a suicide mission.
Nyan picks up the healing device.
NYAN
This device only works within the first
30 hours. Do you want my help or not?
TEAL'C
You wish to use me to further scientific
aspirations do you not?
NYAN
You are proof that my theories have
been wrong.
TEAL'C
Then perhaps you would be better of
in I were no longer alive.
NYAN
Teal'c. I'm a scientist. If I find evidence
that my theories are wrong, it's as
exciting as if they were correct. Scientific
advance in either direction is still
an advance.
TEAL'C
You sound like Daniel Jackson. Do what
you can.
Nyan aims the healing device towards Teal'c's eyes and activate
it. A continuous ray of light goes into Teal'c's right eye.
NYAN
Pain is the nerve regenerating. Only
a moment.
Finally Nyan turns it off. Teal'c grabs his eyes in pain.
NYAN
While I was out I went to a place where
I could look upon Rigar's camp. Your
friends are still there. Rigar's men
have dug up a smaller device that looks
related to the gateway.
TEAL'C
The DHD. Perhaps circumstances have
become more favorable.
Teal'c moves his eyes. Now instead of being blind, his vision
is blurry.
TEAL'C
There. There I see a light there.
NYAN
Yes. Good. Then it works on your kind.
TEAL'C
But I can only see a faint light.
NYAN
That was only the first treatment. We
will do it as many times as necessary.
There's no guarantee but it should help.
TEAL'C
Then do it.
NYAN
We must wait between treatments or we
will do damage rather then good.
Prison Tent.
Guards just bring Sam and Jack back in. Daniel is in his cage;
while they put the other two back. Rigar gets a zat.
SAM
Daniel, you okay?
Daniel just gives a sad, cute look. (Aww...)
JACK
Hey Re-gar. You know that "we come in
peace' business? Bite me.
RIGAR
You have one last chance.
DANIEL
I do not know how that man was killed.
We are not Optrican spies.
Rigar zats Sam. Sam hits the back of her cage then falls forward.
Daniel looks POed.
RIGAR
Is there another one of your people
out there?
DANIEL
(sounding like an automated message
with a monotone voice) I don't know
how that man was killed. We are not—
Rigar zats Jack. Jack hits the side of the cage and stays there,
slowly getting electrocuted.
DANIEL
No there is not another one of my team
out there turn it off!
RIGAR
What's he look like?
DANIEL
Turn it off! You'll kill him!
RIGAR
No, you will kill him.
Daniel looks mad. Hear a chevron lock into place.
Rigar looks at Jack. He takes the weapon and uses it to turn
the electrical current off. He leaves with the zat as the Stargate
continues to dial.
Outside, chevron... four locks into place. Rigar and still nameless
woman go outside. Chevron five locks in and the two people stop.
They continue. Chevron six they stop.
On the other side of the gate we see Hammond in the control room.
TECHNICIAN
Chevron seven-locked Sir. Wormhole engaged.
OTHER SIDE
Stargate goes `kawoosh' and the people
almost fall down. Rigar and woman look
scared, or amazed.
ON EARTH
TECHNICIAN
Ready to transmit signal Sir.
HAMMOND
SG-1. This is General Hammond. Come
in.
As Hammond speaks, we see from inside the prison tent. The guard
hears Hammond over the radio.
HAMMOND
I repeat, SG-1, this is General Hammond.
Come in.
The guy leaves with a radio. Daniel looked worried, yet surprised.
Outside Rigar and others are staring at the event horizon.
RIGAR
This is not a gateway. This is a trick.
Guy with radio gets outside to Rigar.
GUY
Rigar Sir.
Gives him radio.
HAMMOND
SG-1, please respond. SG-1 please come
in.
RIGAR
Who is this?
HAMMOND
This is General Hammond of the SGC.
With whom am I speaking?
RIGAR
The one who holds your people.
HAMMOND
I want to speak with Colonel O'Neill
now.
Cave.
Nyan is using the healing device on Teal'c's eyes again. He stops
and Teal'c once again grabs his eyes.
TEAL'C
Our objective is to free O'Neill and
the others. We will lay down cover fire
to enable one of them to dial the Stargate.
NYAN
Getting inside the camp is going to
be our first problem. The quarantine
field is only penetrable by shuttlecraft.
TEAL'C
An obstacle easily overcome.
Teal'c looks at his hands. They are blurry, but not a much as
the light was before.
TEAL'C
My vision has improved.
Teal'c gives Nyan as zat.
TEAL'C
You may use this to defend yourself.
NYAN
I've never used a weapon before.
TEAL'C
I am confident that you will learn quickly.
Teal'c picks up his staff and gets up.
TEAL'C
We must depart.
Teal'c walks ahead almost into Nyan. He turns left and almost
hits a wall. Finally Teal'c finds his way and leaves. Nyan follows.
Right by the Gate.
RIGAR
Tell me, how does this trick work? Is
it some sore of projection?
Earth wise...
HAMMOND
I assure that what you are seeing is
real. Now please, let me speak to Colonel
O'Neill. (To technician) Try to pull
up the MALP.
In the prison tent Daniel is sitting there while Sam and Jack
are out cold. The camera on the MALP starts moving.
BY STARGATE
RIGAR
From where do you broadcast? Are you
in Optrican or within Bedrosian borders?
In the prison tent, Daniel notices the camera and starts waving
his hands, trying to get SGC's attention.
Earth side...
HAMMOND
Once my people are returned I will be
happy to discuss an exchange of information
with you.
Hammond looks at a monitor and sees the cages, and Daniel waving.
They zoom in on Daniel.
HAMMOND
See if you can get a clear line of site
on O'Neill.
In the prison tent...
MALP starts trying to move around, not with much progress.
BY THE GATE
RIGAR
You will send the plans for this device.
The nameless woman hears something and looks towards the tent.
Sees a lump hitting the side over, and over.
RIGAR
You will send the coordinates of your
position, and when you have exposed
your entire fraud, I will consider sparing
your operatives lives.
Rigar turns and sees the UNW and two guards head to the tent.
He follows.
In the prison tent the MALP continues to move around. Daniel
is trying sign language. He's trying to say something like, `They
have weapons out there.' Door to tent opens and part of four
comes in.
On Earth, through the monitor they see Daniel is giving the `cut
off', `stop', `end', or `dead' sign. Hammond looks worried.
Rigar and UNW get in and look around. Rigar looks at the MALP.
HAMMOND
You will return my people immediately,
is that clear?
Jack and Sam start coming to. Daniel has the look on someone
who's in trouble. (Bad Danny... LOL.)
HAMMOND
Do we understand each other?
Rigar looks at MALP camera.
Through the monitor on Earth we see Rigar.
RIGAR
If you attempt any sort of rescue, I
will kill your people.
Rigar shoots the camera with the zat. Transmission is interrupted.
TECHNICIAN
Lost all MALP telemetry Sir.
HAMMOND
Shut it down.
Gate shuts down and Hammond looks very worried.
Meanwhile, back at the Prison Tent...
Rigar throws radio back on the table. He shuts the zat and throws
it down.
RIGAR
Call in a transport shuttle. I want
them moved to a more secure facility.
Put them away until it gets here.
Guards head over to them.
Outside... Somewhere.
Teal'c and Nyan are walking through the woods. They find a big
rock and an open spot. They hear shuttle and hide behind the
rock. Teal'c fires at the shuttle and misses. The shuttle lands.
NYAN
Are you sure I should be the one to
do this?
TEAL'C
You will perform well. I am certain.
The doors to the shuttle open and out walk two guards. Nyan zats
one of them. The other one fires his weapon and Nyan ducks. Teal'c
fires staff and misses. Nyan then zats the guard once. Teal'c
and Nyan steal the guards' weapons.
NYAN
Stun don't kill.
They run into the shuttle and the doors close.
Outside tent on planet.
Lots of guards outside. Rigar and more guards come out of tent.
UNW
Transport shuttle will be here any moment
Sir.
RIGAR
I will accompany the prisoners back
to the base. You will remain here to
guard the ring. Be sure—
They look up to see the transport shuttle flying like one of
those drunk pilots would have been flying if they didn't get
arrested. It hits a little ridge and crashes. Nyan runs out.
NYAN
Help me! Help me! He's out there, in
the forest!
Nyan gets on his knees in front of Rigar, begging. UNW pulls
him up.
RIGAR
Who is out there?
NYAN
The alien. He killed the soldiers then
he tried to kill me with his lightning
weapon. But I got away and came here.
RIGAR
Take the shuttlecraft. Find him!
Two soldier run off and into the shuttle.
RIGAR
Put him under guard.
They take Nyan away. Rigar looks and sees the shuttle still there.
RIGAR
Tell them to launch. Now!
UNW
Yes Sir.
UNW walks over to the shuttle.
UNW
Why haven't you launched this craft?
Teal'c comes to the doors and shoots UNW with one of the locals'
own weapons. Firefight starts. Teal'c shoots the one guarding
Nyan. Rigar runs into a tent. They keep firing.... And firing.
Teal'c takes cover in shuttle. Nyan takes zat he has hidden in
his clothes and joins in the fight. Nyan kills a guy, stuns another.
Teal's keeps firing.
Nyan grabs a few of the Bedrosian weapons and goes into the prison
tent where everyone is wide and awake.
SAM
Nyan...
Nyan uses the end of the weapons to unlock Sam's door. Sam gets
out. Nyan gives her a weapon.
NYAN
Hit the side button to shoot long range.
DANIEL
Where's Teal'c?
Nyan unlocks Daniel's cage.
NYAN
He's outside.
Nyan unlocks Jack's cage. Jack kicks the door open.
JACK
Daniel, dial us up. We'll lay cover.
Daniel puts on his glasses and follows the others outside.
Teal'c keeps on firing, killing, and stunning. Jack opens the
door and fires the sat. (Not like he shot anyone) Jack zats a
few, while Sam and Nyan start firing.
Daniel runs to the DHD and starts dialing while everyone else
fires weapons. Daniel dodges a few, but Jack shots the perpetrators.
Firing continues, Daniel finally gets the gate open.
On Earth...
TECHNICIAN
Unidentified traveler.
HAMMOND
Close the iris.
The iris closes.
TECHNICIAN
I'm not receiving a GDO code Sir.
On the planet Teal'c being the only one smart enough to have
a GDO enters the code.
On Earth, the computer has the flashy name `SG-1' there of being
the code.
TECHNICIAN
It's SG-1 Sir.
HAMMOND
Open the iris.
On Planet...
TEAL'C
GO!
Guys fire at Teal'c, but he hides deep in the shuttle. Daniel
runs to the gate and jumps through to Earth. (Ouch. That landing
must hurt; even through we don't see it!)
JACK
Go!
Sam runs and goes through.
JACK
Nyan, can you cover me?
NYAN
I will.
Jack runs to shuttle, almost getting shot. He turns around when
in the shuttle and shoots the guy who fired at him. Jack almost
shoots Teal'c.
JACK
Teal'c! Gaah! You look a little rough
there Teal'c.
Rigar comes out of the tent with a weapon. Two more shuttles
are heading towards their location.
JACK
We ready to go?
Teal'c nods. They pause for a second.
JACK
All right... Go.
Jack starts blasting away with the zat. Nyan runs to the gate
with them but gets shot by Rigar. Jack sees Rigar. Rigar takes
a deep breath and aims the weapon at Jack. Jack shoots Rigar
with the zat once.
JACK
Teal'c!
Teal'c helps Nyan up.
TEAL'C
He is coming with us O'Neill.
They all run to the gate as one of the two incoming shuttles
start firing at them. They get through the gate.
TEAL'C
General Hammond he is a friend.
HAMMOND
Stand down.
Nyan and Teal'c basically fall down.
JACK
A little help here.
Janet and two nurses run to the ramp and start to assist. Teal'c
doesn't look good and Nyan passes out.
Infirmary. Teal'c is nicely in the bed.
FRAISER
Well Teal'c all I can say is Junior
is one resilient little guy.
NYAN
Who's Junior?
Nyan has a small bandage on his forehead for a cut.
TEAL'C
It is the name Colonel O'Neill has given
my symbiote.
Fraiser walks off to Nyan. Sam, Jack, and Daniel walk in.
SAM
Do how are you feeling?
Jack signals guards to leave Nyan's bedside.
TEAL'C
Greatly improved Major Carter. Thank
you.
JACK
Here's some good news. The Air Force
has agreed to get you refugee status.
Which means you can stay here with us,
if you'd like.
NYAN
What would I do here?
Daniel gives Nyan a small, book kind of shaped box.
DANIEL
Well I think we have a little job for
you Nyan. If you're interest, I have
a back of ancient artifacts gathered
from previous missions, and I could
use a research assistant. It would also
be great way to learn about the history
of your ancestors.
Smiles from Nyan, and from Sam.
FRAISER
But for now you both need to rest.
JACK
And we'll leave you to that.
Jack, Sam, Daniel, and Janet leave.
NYAN
Thank you Teal'c.
TEAL'C
You have saved my life as well the lived
of my friends. It is I who should thank
you.
NYAN
I still wish I could show you to my
friends in the science community. They
would have been fascinated.
TEAL'C
Perhaps one day the situation on your
planet will improve. And you will get
this opportunity.
Nyan smiles, and Teal'c goes to sleep.
