Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods Page #3

from the Pentagon.

I take it you're Colonel O'Neill.

Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.

But, of course, you go by Sam.

HAMMOND:
Let's get started.

-Colonel?

-All right.

For those of you on your first trip

through the gate,

you should be prepared

for what to expect.

Well, I've practically memorized

your report from the first mission, sir.

I'd like to think I've been

preparing for this all my life.

I think what the Colonel is saying is,

have you ever pulled out of a simulated

bombing run in an F-16 at eight-plus Gs?

Yes.

Well, it's way worse than that.

By the time you get to the other side,

you're frozen stiff,

like you've just been through a blizzard.

That's a result of the compression

your molecules undergo

during the millisecond required

for reconstitution.

Here we go. Another scientist.

General, please.

Theoretical astrophysicist.

Which means?

Means she's smarter than you are, Colonel.

Especially in matters

related to the stargate.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Well, you can believe me, this has nothing

to do with you being a woman.

I like women.

I've just got a little problem

with scientists.

Well, Colonel, I logged over 100 hours

in enemy airspace during the Gulf War.

Is that tough enough for you?

Or are we gonna have to arm wrestle?

(SAMUELS CLEARING THROAT)

I don't mean to throw a damper

on your enthusiasm,

but I still say the safest

and most logical way

is to bury the stargate,

just like the ancient Egyptians did,

make it impossible for the aliens to return.

It's the only way to eliminate the threat.

-Except it won't work.

-lt worked before.

How do you all think the stargate

got to Earth in the first place?

Good question.

They've got ships, General.

Ra had one as big as the great pyramids.

They don't need the stargate to get here.

They can do it the old-fashioned way.

Now, with all due respect

to Mr. Glass-ls-Half-Empty over here,

don't you think maybe

we should use the stargate

to do a little reconnaissance

before they decide to show up again?

I'll give you exactly 24 hours to either

return or send a message through.

No Kleenex boxes, please.

Otherwise, I will assume the worst,

and send a bomb through.

Understood.

-Try to follow orders this time, Colonel.

-Sir?

This time, you bring Daniel Jackson back.

Is that clear?

Move out!

My God! Look at this!

You can actually see the fluctuations

in the event horizon.

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

Lower your guns.

Hello, Jack. Welcome back.

-Skaara.

-O'Neer.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I did not think to be seeing you again.

How are you, Daniel?

Good. You?

Much better, now that I know

everybody's okay.

Greetings from Earth, Dr. Jackson.
