        (Divided into two parts, as it's somewhat long)

        12x12 "Occam's Razor"
        Synopsis: The Alpha Site is attacked during SG-1's tour of the base, but the reasons for the assault aren't immediately clear.
        Spoiler:
        Trudging through the thick forests that surround Earth's latest Alpha Site (the old one having been destroyed in the events of "Retaliation, Part 2"), SG-1 is discussing this particular world's merits; it has an over-powered magnetic field that scrambles sensors of nearby ships, and it has a vast mountain range which an underground base can be built into for defense. It also lies within a nexus of two major hyperspace routes, which means help is never far away should it be required.

        As the team walks along the winding path back to the base entrance (the mountain peaks can be seen in the distance), a dull roar starts to build in behind them. The five of them turn around just in time to see an al'kesh soar overhead, heading toward the Alpha Site. At once, they set out at a dead run, trying to make it back in time to help. Mitchell asks who could be attacking, but Vala thinks the answer is fairly obvious by this point; Garrin's rogue brance of the Lucian Alliance.

        SG-1 emerges from the forest at the top of a small rise that overlooks the entrance to the Alpha Site, and there they see a dreadful sight; two al'kesh are hovering over the area, pummeling it with plasma fire. A few dozen soliders can be seen valiantly trying to fight them off with rocket launchers, but the al'kesh are already ringing down squads of Jaffa and human mercenaries to take them out. Carter and Mitchell get up and start to run forward, but Teal'c calls out for them to stop; the five of them can not hope to do anything now, and they should retreat into the forest to hide and make a plan.

        Once they're sufficiently deep in the forest, Mitchell radios the base and asks for Col. Shefield, the commander of the Alpha Site. But all he gets in response is an recorded message asking all personnel to evacuate the area. Finally, the sound of weapon discharges slows and stops, indicating that the fight at the base has ended, no doubt in a loss for the Earth forces. Teal'c points to a nearby tree that rises above the rest of the canopy, and Carter quickly shimmies up to get a better look at the situation. She's able to see the two al'kesh landing just outside the base entrance, and a large number of enemy troops heading inside. Once she has this information, she drops back down to the rest of the team.

        She quickly tells the others what she saw, but also mentions that it would be impossible for them to take out the sheer number of men that have been brought in. So for the time being, Daniel suggests they scout the area. That being decided as the best course of action, they head for a small bunker about two miles southeast that was built to store extra supplies and munitions from Earth.

        As they make their way through the forest, Vala asks how Garrin could have located the Alpha Site, seeing as no one is supposed to know its location. Daniel reminds her that this planet's gate address was given to the other Alliance members following the attack on Heliopolis, so it's possible one of them betrayed them (it should be noted that this is the first time anyone from Earth has expressed doubt about the Alliance). But both Teal'c and Carter argue that only the leaders of the respective factions recieved the address, and they would not give it to one of Garrin's men under any curcumstances... so they believe.

        Nearing the bunker, Mitchell brings up a question; what could Garrin be hoping to accomplish here? Destroying the Alpha Site wouldn't cripple Earth, and they could construct a new one within weeks. Any sensitive information would be purged from base computers as soon as any attack is launched, and there aren't any experiemental weapons here or anything else of real, tangible value. Vala's explanation is that he just wants revenge, but Daniel agrees with Cameron, saying there must be more.

        The team hurriedly rushes into the bunker and into its small armory once they arrive. They grab as much ammunition as they can, then try to raise the base once more. When they continue to get only static, Mitchell suggests they head back to the Alpha Site and try to sneak inside using the surface hatch (like the SGC's, seen in "Foothold"), and the others agree that it may be the only way. But as soon as they come to the edge of the forest, they see the two al'kesh ring up the last of the Lucian Alliance troops and blast into space, seemingly leaving the facility untouched (minus the blasts from the battle earlier). Shocked, Carter quicky motions for them to get inside the base, and they rush to the entrance.

        As they enter, they find the bodies of dead ISGC personnel and Lucian Alliance mercenaries lying all around them. It appears that Garrins men were able to fight their way deep into the complex, but were unable to access the gate room. Seeing no one left alive and no secure areas breached, the team is puzzled as to why the attack occured. They come up with several different ideas, but it is agreed that Garrin most likely wanted revenge. They decide to investigate each area of the base, starting with the labs along the entry corridor.

        Daniel and Carter head into one lab and start looking around, but don't find anything more than notes and artifacts that were being studied. Jackson suggests the idea of "Occam's Razor", that the simplest solution is usually right, and that the only motive for the attack really was revenge. Carter agrees, noting that the actual base itself went untouched. She radios Mitchell and Vala, asking if they found anything in the control room, but they say they're only seeing more dead bodies... which is strange, considering the blast doors leading to that area went unopened. Regardless, they assume some kind of chemical weapon was used.

        Teal'c, meanwhile, is one level downstairs, looking through the crew quarters. He peers in a doorway and suddenly freezes; there are three Lucian Alliance soldiers inside, attempting to slice into a computer console. He goes to contact the others, but is suddenly zatted from behind. At first, it seems no one is there, but then two more men de-cloak, turning off Sodan cloaking devices. They exchange worried looks, knowing that SG-1 is here.

        Back upstairs, the rest of the team is on the verge of giving up; it seems nothing is here. Mitchell begins dialing Earth to tell them about the attack, but suddenly the power goes out, sending the dialing computer offline. Vala guesses that the circuit breakers were overloaded in the attack, and she and Mitchell go to reset them. In the meantime, Carter and Daniel begin turning on flashlights and exploring more of the abandoned base (the sun is beginning to set outside).

        As the second group (Carter/Jackson) head into another wing of the base, Carter notes how strange it is that there are still dead bodies everywhere. But Daniel re-iterates the idea of a checmical weapon, saying that the Lucian Alliance no doubt heard of the Trust's great success with such tactics in the past ("Endgame"). Carter, worried that they may be exposed, pulls out a scanning device and runs a scan for checmical weapons. The result confirms their fears, and a fast-acting nerve gas is detected. However, it appears to be remarkably short-lived, and has already dissipated.

        Some distance away, Vala and Mitchell are getting close to the power room. When they arrive, they find the blast door open and the body of a technician on the floor, dead. Mitchell surmises that he was attempting to reroute power to the automatic defenses (machine guns) that were mounted outside the base, but was killed by whatever killed the others here. Either way, they know they have to get moving, and quickly bring the facility back online. But as they turn to leave, a group of Lucian Alliance men de-cloak and stun them.

        As Carter and Daniel begin to head back to the gate room, they find a strange sight; one of the armory's is unlocked, and several ARGs and P90s are lying scattered on the floor along with more bodies. Jackson doesn't understand, as only the nerve gas reached this level of the base, not enemy troops. Why would there be such a mad dash for weaponry? Carter thinks the soldiers here were probably just desperate to go help their comarades, and they move on.

        As they enter the gate room, Carter glimpses a shimmer in the air, which she immediately recognizes as a cloaking device. She pulls out her P90 and opens fire, with Daniel following suit. One of them men goes down, becoming visible as he does so. Jackson pulls out a zat and shoots the metal floor, sending a weak electric charge throughout the room and shorting out the other cloaking fields... revealing seven armed men behind numerous cover positions. There is a brief but intense shootout, in which half the Lucian Alliance men are taken out.

        The remaining soldiers demand Carter and Daniel's surrender, claiming that their al'kesh are still in orbit waiting to pick them up, and could easily drop off more troops. Daniel replies that that doesn't make sense; why would they leave in the first place? But Carter already knows the answer; it was a trap to lure SG-1 here. They must have figured out they were here, or gotten the information from one of them scientists on the Alpha Site. The soldiers merely ask again for their surrender, saying that they already have the rest of SG-1. They claim they came here for the database, to learn the location of Earth's other outposts, and now they have them. Getting SG-1 was just the icing on the cake.

        But then Carter remembers something; the Alpha Sites were equipped with nerve gas dispensers that would trigger in case of a foothold situation once all personnel had escaped. But what if there was no time for that? That would explain the technician Mitchell found (and reported to them) in the power room; he was overriding the failsafes to dispense the gas now and protect the base, since they were all dead anyway with no way out. That would mean that someone really bad had to have been here, worse than a few human and Jaffa mercs.

          More "Occam's Razor" (see above post for first part)

          Spoiler:
          And that's when they see it walk out from the corridor... a human-form Replicator. Somehow, Garrin managed to get his hand on one and set it loose on the Alpha Site. That explains why there were dead with signs of wounds inside the blast doors—the Replicator just melted right through. The machine stands alongside the Lucian men, claiming that there are things far beyond their comprehension, and tells Carter and Daniel to give up now or she will kill them. Carter stands and begins arguing with it as Daniel reaches down and, after a moment, comes up with... an ARG! He had grabbed one along with some extra ammo from the armory, and fires a single burst into the Replicator, but it does nothing. This one must have the cipher.

          The Replicator sees and charges at the two SG-1 members, who barely escape into the corridor in time. With the machine and the Lucian Alliance men hot on their tail, Daniel and Sam make their way to a lab on the far end of the base, trading shots with their enemies. Finally, they reach the lab and seal the door, though they know it won't hold the Replicator off for more than a few seconds. But still, they use their time to shimmy into the duct system where they'll be safe.

          While they crawl along, Carter wonders how in the world Garrin got his hand on a Replicator; Daniel suggests that it was left over on a world not affected by the Dakara weapon ("Reckoning, Part 2"), but Sam finds that unlikely. Still, it is disturbing that he was able to get one regardless of the way. But then she has an idea, and they hurry through the vents again.

          Back in the gate room, Mitchell, Vala, and Teal'c are coming to. One of the Lucian Alliance soldiers begins prodding them for information, revealing their true reason for coming here; the team's first guess was right, and they have decided to try and wipe out Earth's interstellar holdings (which confirms Earth's fears from "The Relic" and "Manifest Destiny"). Now that they have the coordinates of those bases, thanks to the Alpha Site, they can destroy every last one. But they still need to know more, particularly what defenses other facilities will have. The soldier tries hurting the trio to make them talk, but no amount of pain seems to break them. Then he raises his gun to Vala's head...

          ...and is zatted! Carter and Daniel drop down from the vent in the gate room, and Carter immediately begins taking out the soldiers left. Daniel rushes to the other corner of the room, where he disappears behind a doorway. Just as Carter takes out the last man, though, the Replicator enters and, seeing her, charges. Sam tries zatting it, then runs up the steps of the gate, hoping to hide in the empty area behind it. She leaps through the portal itself and crouches behind a crate, with the human-form about to head up the steps.

          But then, in an instant, all seven chevrons flash on and a wormhole forms, the "kawoosh" enveloping the Replicator and destroying it. Daniel comes back into the room, explaning that Carter remembered the spare DHD kept here (following the example of previous Alpha Sites, "Gemini"). They then planned this, knowing the kawoosh would take out the Replicator with ease. Glad to be freed, the team radios ISGC (Daniel dialed Earth) for aid and waits...

          Back at the ISGC, Landry says that the Delta Site (a military test facility) was also destroyed by the Lucian Alliance, but now that they know what's going on, they should be able to protect other Sites.

          While she's working in her lab, Carter is visited by Daniel. He feels bad for suggesting the idea of Occam's Razor now, as it led them to an assumption that almost got them killed; had they gone for the more complex theory rather than the simple one, they would not have assumed the things they did about the evidence they found. But Carter assures him that it's not his fault, as no one can ever know all the facts. Still, at least Garrin was stopped... this time.

            SLIGHT spoilers for "Ark of Truth"


            12x13 "Homefront"
            Synopsis: When someone attempts to assassinate President Hayes, the team is dispatched to figure out who was behind the attack.
            Spoiler:
            It's a beautiful, sunny day in Washington, D.C. Riding alone an interstate highway into the city, President Henry Hayes (who was re-elected in Season 11) is making his way home from a trip to Western Europe. Also in the limo with him are numerous aides, all busily typing on their laptops or making calls on their cell phones.

            As they draw closer to the White House, Hayes remarks that they really should start travelling by puddle jumper, seeing as it's much faster and no doubt more secure. But one of the aides replies that the Atlantis Expedition can only spare a few, and they are all being used by the ISGC at the moment, though his comment will be taken into account at the next opportunity for more.

            Suddenly, a burst of plasma slams into the ground just ahead of the motorcade, incinerating two police officers on motorcycles. The limo swerves to the side barely in time to avoid a second strike, which destroys a second car travelling behind them. A third blast follows on the heels of the previous two, but the driver is able to avoid them both, nearly crashing the car in the process. Finally, though, a forth burst of plasma rips through the driver's side of the limo, and it erupts into flame.

            Secret Service agents pull Hayes from the car, quickly getting him into cover behind the wreckage. Now the attacker's pisition is revealed; a staff canon has been mounted on a nearby building, and it rains plasma down on the location of the President. But just as the Secret Service is about to be overwhelmed... it suddenly stops, and the rooftop on which the canon is mounted explodes, taking any remaining evidence with it. Hayes looks on, shocked, wondering what, exactly, just happened.

            A day later, SG-1 is being driven (in civilian clothing) to the White House, surrounded by police and Air Force soldiers. Washington is in a panic, and no one can quite figure out how the assassin was able to get so close to the President's motorcade, considering the Aurora was in orbit scanning the area. International news is blaming Jaffa extremists, given the type of weaponry used in the attack, but the Pentagon thinks that Islamic radicals that purchased alien munitions are behind this.

            As they wait to arrive, the team bounces their own ideas off one another. Daniel and Mitchell both think that an Earth-based group was behind the attack, but they doubt it was any sort of terror group, more likely the Trust. Carter, on the other hand, believes Garrin and his men launched the attempt, hoping to cripple Earth's political field. Teal'c and Vala are both neutral on the subject, not knowing enough about international politics to make an accurate guess.

            Finally, the car pulls up to the entrance to the White House, and SG-1 is escorted to the Oval Office, where they find Hayes already waiting for them. The President, looking very worried, tells them to be seated and offers them a drink. He paces around his desk, detailing the assassination attempt the day before, trying to offer what insights he can. According to Hayes, they were travelling along a route they've always taken back from the airport, and have been for years. It wasn't as if that day provided a new opportunity, so there had to be some reason for the particular time.

            Daniel asks if any important talks with the Middle East were coming up, something that could trigger militants to want to eliminate him. But the President replies that he hadn't scheduled a trip to that area for another few months, and that with the stargate public knowledge, American aproval across the world has soared anyway, even in Arab nations. Times have changed.

            Seeing that route as mostly dead (especially when Hayes tells the team that the CIA just reported that no jihad groups have claimed responsibility), Carter moves on to the possibility of offworld action. She asks for the Aurora's sensors logs from the day before, but they don't reveal any unidentified ships entering Earth orbit. A total of twenty-three ships came and left the planet, mostly Jaffa cargo ships and numerous human vessels, but all of them were extensively scanned for weaponry before given clearance to land. Still, it is possible that the attackers smuggled themselves aboard and had weapons already on Earth. Mitchell and Teal'c decide to check with the CIA and follow that lead.

            After those two leave, Daniel decides that they should see if the Trust has been active recently, and he, Vala, and Carter ask Hayes if they can meet with agent Barret of the NID. He gives them the go-ahead, and they depart, as well.

            At the NID headquarters, Barret does have a few leads for the team. Apparently, Trust operatives all but dropped off the map the week before, with only scattered reports from New York and Virginia. Of course, they now realize they must have been heading to D.C. for the assassination. He says that one of the Trust's frontrunners, a man named David Shore, owns a bar in downtown Richmond. They should head there and see if they can pinpoint his location on the day of the attempt. Barret himself is too busy with another problem, though, can cannot come to help them.

            Meanwhile, Teal'c and Mitchell are meeting with a CIA agent, going over the Aurora's sensor logs. One ship, a small cargo craft from Hebridan, deviated slightly in its course on approach to the newly-build starport outside of New York City. It's possible that it dropped off the attackers there, but no agents have been dispatched to check the area just yet. With that in mind, Mitchell calls for one of the ISGC's jumpers to give them a lift to New York.

            In Richmond, Daniel, Vala, and Sam have arrived at Shore's bar. They're doing their best to look inconspicuous, but they're now known around the world, and it's not easy. But after a few minutes of waiting, Shore himself appears, talking with a few men in the back of the dining area. Carter and Daniel draw their pistols and head over, intending to take him to the local police station for questioning. But just as they're about to arrest him, he turns to reveal a zat, and stuns Carter. Daniel shoots him in the leg, bringing him down, and Vala grabs Sam's gun. But the men he was talking to have also drawn their weapons, and a tense standoff ensues.

            The three thugs tell SG-1 to lower their weapons, and Daniel demands that they lower theirs. One of the men points his pistol at Carter's head, and says that if they don't stand down, he'll shoot her. Daniel thinks it over for a moment, then starts to lower his weapon. At the same time, the two other thugs raise their guns at Jackson and Vala, intending to shoot them, but are suddenly shot themselves! SG-1 turns to see a group of NID agents in the doorwar, rushing inside. Apparently, agent Barret felt bad about not being able to come himself, and sent some cavalry. It took them a while to figure out the team was still in the bar, but then they rushed over to help. Jackson thanks them for the assistance, and they round of Shore and his men for questioning.

            At the police station, Daniel gets a call from Mitchell, who's jumper is just setting down in a large field several miles outside NYC. They're going to start looking for clues, and will keep the others informed. Jackson thanks him for the heads up, then goes to the interrogation booth, where a refreshed Carter is watching the NID talk to Shore. Vala joins them after a moment with coffee, and they listen in; Shore denies working for the Trust at first, but eventually he admits that he is part of the organization. He's managed to avoid implantation from a symbiote thanks to the shortage of Goa'uld following the downfall of the System Lords and, more recently, Ba'al. But he adamantly claims that the Trust had nothing to do with the attempt of Hayes' life, and that it had to have been someone else.

            While the three back in Richmond struggle to figure out what's going on, Mitchell and Teal'c have only found faint footprints in the field. They're about to give up when they suddenly recieve an order to get back to the jumper from the CIA men helping them; a craft is inbound. They rush back and get onboard, cloaking the ship just as a tel'tak approaches over the horizon. According to the CIA agents, it snuck past the Aurora and the other two new 304s (first mentioned in "Takeover"), the Frasier and the Valiant under the cover of a cloak, and only de-cloaked as it approached the field.

            The tel'tak quickly lands nearby, and they watch as a car drives up from the other end of the area. The car parks next to the ship, and two men get out, both clearly Jaffam, but dressed as humans. They get onboard the ship and it starts to rise into the sky, cloaking in the process. Mitchell and Teal'c order the CIA men to go after it, and they follow, tracking the ship by its faint energy signature. Unfortunately, they cannot contact any of Earth's ships, as it would give away their position to the enemy.

            As the tel'tak soars past the Frasier, it makes its way into Earth's shadow, out of sight from the other ships. The jumper follows, and watches as, finally, it de-cloaks in preparation for a jump to hyperspace. Now able to lock onto the ship with the jumper's weaponry, they fire a drone into its engines, knocking them offline, and alert the Aurora. They position their ship directly in front of the tel'tak, staring through its windows at a shocked group of Jaffa and humans alike. They're not going anywhere.

            Some time later, the team is reunited in Washington, having dinner at a local restaurant. Apparently, the assassins were former followers of Origin, and attacked Hayes in order to destroy the leader of the people that brought down their gods. Daniel reminds the rest of the team that not everyone was shown the Ark of Truth, or was near enough to a Prior to be affected by it, so there are no doubt some radicals still out there. But at least that mystery is solved, and an element of the Trust taken down.

            Carter also mentions, grinning, that Hayes has recieved his own private puddle jumper, courtesy of Atlantis. The group laughs, going back to their meal.

                Okay, I was going to post 12x14 later tonight, but after watching an old episode of SG-1, I've had a new idea for an episode, and I'm gonna try and whip up that ASAP.

                Anyway, anyone besides the regular posters here have any criticisms? I'd really appreciate feedback, especially negative. I want to know what I'm doing wrong, if anything, so I can fix it and improve. Thanks!

                  You gave me an idea about President Hayes assassination attempt. On my next chapter, President Hayes going to a joint session of congress to reveal the existence of the stargate and life in the universe, just as he make the speech, he gave an executive order to arrest all Trust agents, safe houses and mercenaries and after that speech, Trust Agents assassinates the President on the podium.

                      12x14 "Duo"
                      Synopsis: A stargate malfunction leaves Mitchell and Jackson isolated on a barren world, cut off from anyone with knowledge that could save them.
                      Spoiler:
                      The team is gearing up for a mission in the gate room, apparently to a Jaffa world for talks about possible trading options with Earth civilians. Vala doesn't see much of a problem with letting them just trade as they please, but Carter points out that they can't just have humans rushing through the gate everyday; this is a military facility, after all.

                      Walter starts dialing up the gate, and Mitchell asks what world they're heading to. Teal'c informs him that it's a large Jaffa world in the heart of the Free Jaffa Nation, with a population of roughly 1.3 billion. That gets a reaction out of the Earth-born members of SG-1, who were under the impression other planets did not grow much. But Teal'c simply replies that they only saw a handful of worlds out there, and that many have populations rivalling Earth's.

                      Now the gate comes online, and the wormhole is established. Carter, Vala, and Teal'c quickly head up the ramp, but Mitchell lags behind, waiting for Jackson to finish tying his boots. Finally, Daniel is done, and the two jog up the ramp. But just as they step into the event horizon, one of the power conduits overloads, sparking and ignighting the others. The puddle flashes for a moment, then disconnects. And as the gate room crew looks on, they all wonder the same question... what happened to the last two members of SG-1?

                      On another planet, we see an active stargate suddenly flash, and Daniel and Mitchell are thrown through, landing heavily on a rock surface. The gate shuts down behind them, leaving them in total darkness. Luckily, Mitchell quickly pulls out his P-90 and turns on the flashlight, revealing a spacious rock cavern that appears to be somewhere underground. He helps Jackson to his feet, and the two start to search the area for a way out.

                      While they look around, Mitchell asks the obvious question; how did they get here, and where are the others? Daniel says he has no idea, but remembers that O'Neill and Carter once went through an ordeal like this during the first year of the Stargate Program ("Solitudes"), and it was due to a large amount of energy hitting the gate at once, which caused it to "jump" to another gate. His guess is that there was some technical problem back at ISGC, and the same thing has happened to them.

                      As Daniel heads around the back of the gate, his spirits drop. This planet's DHD has been destroyed by falling debris, and it's doubtful they can get it working again without Sam. Mitchell calls him over then, pointing out a row of computer banks built into the wall. Obviously, someone once used this place, so there must be a way out somewhere. So the two of them head deeper into the cave structure, hoping to find a solution to their problem.

                      Meanwhile, on the Jaffa trading world, the other members of SG-1 are very concerned. They redial Earth and asks why Mitchell and Jackson have yet to arrive, but they say that they stepped through the wormhole... right before the gate overloaded. Apparently, a faulty connection in the power lines sparked, and that caused the surge. Sgt. Siler is looking into it right now, hoping to get it repaired. But until then, the ISGC won't be dialing out anytime soon, so they're on their own.

                      Carter suggests they head to the Beta Site and try and figure out what happened; she has an idea, based on something that happened to her in the past, but knows that it won't be easy finding them if she's right. Teal'c mentions that the Jaffa representatives will not be happy if they just leave, but Carter is adamant that finding the others take precedence over any diplomatic trip. That settled, they dial the Beta Site and get going.

                      Half a galaxy away, Mitchell and Jackson have made it to a larger area of the cave, this one full of computer banks, monitors, and other technology. This place is beginning to resemble a military control outpost, as Mitchell points out, and Daniel sits down at one of the computers. After a few minutes of fiddling with the wiring, he gets pwoer restored and boots it up. While he's doing that, Mitchell heads over to a row of power switches and, after a few seconds, gets the emergency lighting on, as well.

                      The Colonel comes back to where Jackson is hard at work typing away; luckily, these computers don't have any passcodes or firewalls, probably because the people that used them never expected anyone to make it in here. He quickly brings up a file on this facility, and what he finds causes him to freeze; this place was one of the rogue NID's old hideouts, which would explain why they were able to power it up so quickly (all items have been stripped of things like brand logos, though, it seems). Back in the days before Col. O'Neill and the Asgard caught them ("Shades of Gray"), they must have used this world as a base to launch raids.

                      This gives Mitchell hope, as the rogue NID weren't the type to give themselves only one out. There should be at least one other way out of this place, and he's determined to find it. But Daniel's cyber-search has revealed something else, too... this planet was taken over by a minor Goa'uld five years ago, and chances are he's still here, hiding from forces like the Free Jaffa Nation. Mitchell thinks that he would've been killed by now by the Replicator invasion, but Jackson reminds him that RepliCarter mostly targeted the System Lords. If this Goa'uld was working alone, he could very well have slipped by. Either way, there could be a very dangerous foe waiting just above them.

                      Leaving Daniel to keep looking through the files, Mitchell heads deeper into the cave, poking through long-abandoned rooms. Jackson gives him periodic reports over the radio about things such as when the NID left, how many people worked here, etc. At length, though Cameron comes across what appears to be an armory, eases the door open, and slips inside.

                      At the Beta Site, Carter has assembled a team of scientists to help her figure this out. She guesses (correctly) that what happened to Mitchell and Jackson is the same as what happened to O'Neill and herself eleven years ago, and that they can find the two of them the same way (Vala and Teal'c are waiting patiently at the door, not knowing how to contribute).

                      Carter's plan is simple; they'll determine the coordinates of all the stargates between Earth and the Jaffa world, then dial each one and radio through to see if SG-1 is there. If not, they'll deactivate the gate and try again. It's not the most elegant idea, but it should get the job done. With that decided on, the team gets to work plotting out coordinate grids.

                      Meanwhile, Mitchell has emerged from the armory with an armful of C4, and he proceeds down the corridor again. He seems to be on to something, and after a few seconds of jogging, he grins and tells Jackson that he thinks he's found their way out; a massive blast door lies just ahead, no doubt leading outside. He begins placing C4 charges on the door at key points, then places a few detonators around them. All the while, Daniel is asking that he make sure the area is structurally sound before he goes and blows it, but Cameron seems sure they'll be fine.

                      In the command center, Daniel brings up a schematic of the facility on his computer, and begins checking the area where Mitchell is preparing to blast. As he scans over, his eyes start to widen, and he grabs his radio. But Mitchell already has the detonator primed, and has retreated around a bend in the corridor. Just as his radio clicks on and Daniel's voice comes through, he blows the C4.

                      The blast door is blown apart at once, sending a blast of rock and metal into the next chamber. Mitchell grabs the radio and asks Daniel what he wants as he goes to see how his handiwork did... then stops cold; behind the blast door was a bridge leading to the next area, and he just destroyed half of it. Now a wide chasm separates them from the second half of the base, which, Daniel adds, looks like it had the surface exit.

                      A frustrated Cameron demands to know why he didn't tell him that before, but Jackson says he only just found the schematic files; had he waited a moment, this could have been avoided. Mitchell shouts for him to come up with a plan then, and shuts off his radio. The colonel then heads into the nearby rooms, trying once more to find a solution.

                      Back in the control room, Daniel is trying to get the base's subspace transmitter working, but it looks like it's been damaged on the surface. He mutters that he wishes Carter was here, as she'd probably know how to re-route something to get this working, sighs, and goes off to find Mitchell.

                      Carter, meanwhile, is in the Beta Site gate room, dialing yet another planet and calling for her teammates. Apparently, they determined that there are 269 stargates between Earth and the Jaffa planet, and they've only contacted 17 so far. Worse still, depending on planetary conditions, they might not be able to get a radio signal through to them, or the amount of energy that hit the gate on Earth could have pushed them farther out of the way than they anticipated. This is clearly a long shot at best, but they have nothing else. Seeing that planet 17 is useless, Carter orders number 18 dialed...

                      Jackson arrives at the far end of the area to find Mitchell gathering up as many pieces of debris as he can find. He has a good-zied pile of scrap metal lying in the corridor, with more being tossed onto it every so often. Daniel asks what, exactly, he's doing, to which he replies, "Building a bridge." He ruszhes back to the armory and grabs a staff weapon, then asks for Jackson's help in assembling a long strip of scrap metal. Once he has a few pieces laid out, he fires the staff weapon over them, just barely skimming the tops. The superheated plasma fuses them together, and in this manner they begin to build their walkway.

                      About an hour later, it's done. The bridge they've built should be long enough to reach the other side of the chasm, and they should be able to get out. But the cavern begins to shake as they move their bridge to the edge of the corridor, and Daniel mentions that blasting all that C4 may have destabilized the area. Now hurrying, the two of them position their creation and prepare to cross. Slowly, as the cave shakes again, they begin walking across, Mitchell first.

                      Above ground, a group of Jaffa warriors in combat armor have arrived outside a well-hidden underground hatch, and are clearing the brush around it. The lead Jaffa reports that this must be where the "tremor" originated from (they no doubt are referring to Mitchell's C4 blast). He tells his subordinates to go inform their Goa'uld master, then blast the hatch open with staff blasts and begin lowering themselves down.

                      Back inside, Daniel has finished crossing the bridge, too, and just in time. Another tremor shakes the cavern, and the walkway is rocked off its ledge, tmbling loudly into the chasm (unfortunately, that clanging makes it impossible for the two SG-1 members to hear the staff blasts above). Mitchell turns to try the door on the other side... but it appears to be stuck. Jackson is incredulous; they came all this way for a locked door!? And ironically, they probably could have overriden the lock from the now out-of-reach control room.

                        (Last bit of "Duo". See previous post for first bit.)

                        Spoiler:
                        So while they wait, the two swap stories; Mitchell reminisces about life with his Grandma in the South, and admits that, in reality, she hated his joining the Air Force. He only mentions her so much because he misses her, and hasn't seen her in years. Daniel also shares a story, and relates an experience of his years ago right after he joined the Stargate Program. He had been visiting an old professor, bubbling with the knowledge that all his theories had been proven right, only to find that his old friend wouldn't even see him because he was now seen as an "untouchable" archaeologist due to his ideas. To this day, the man won't speak to him, even though the stargate is public knowledge now.

                        Suddenly, the door behind them creaks, and is finally shoved open. Mitchell and Jackson turn to face... a group of Jaffa! They raise their weapons and stand there, somewhat shocked. But then the cavern shakes again, and the Jaffa are momentarily distracted. The SG-1 members take down three of them, one falls into the chasm, and the last one surrenders. Daniel demands to know what's going on, and he answers; his Goa'uld master will be arriving shortly to see what caused the tremor, and when he finds this base he will no doubt hack into the computers and learn a great deal about Earth... secrets he can sell to the highest bidder for more resources. Mitchell and Jackson resolve to make sure that doesn't happen though, and they take the Jaffa with them and leave...

                        Now they're back on Earth at the ISGC a day later. Apparently, they were able to sneak past the Jaffa guards to a second stargate on the planet's surface (the one in the cave was the original, but the Goa'uld brought one with him when he claimed the planet as he could find none already there. Since the NID's lacked a working DHD, all gate travel normally went to the surface gate, and only the overload activated the original). Carter had actually dialed their planet early on in her plan, but it connected to the surface one, so she assumed they weren't there.

                        Once Mitchell and Daniel (along with the Jaffa they caught) made it back to Earth, the Aurora was sent to the planet. An explosive device was beamed into the rogue NID base, destroying it and any evidence it may have held. Surface scans indicate that the Goa'uld himself was actually in the base at the time, so anything he might have learned is gone, too. They can consider this one a win.

                        As the rest of the team (Carter, Vala, and Teal'c) leave the infirmary, Jackson asks Mitchell if he'd like to go spelunking some time, to which the colonel adamantly replies, laughing, "Hell no!"

                          So now that is why I call you names, like Carol, Jane and Sue. Like Moesha, Kim and Lilly and Susanne and Betty-Lou. See, regardless of the names I pick, my feelings are quite clear; you're a pain in every day of every month of every year.

                                12x15 "Call to Arms"
                                Synopsis: When members of the rogue Lucian Alliance begin raiding human worlds for weaponry, SG-1 intervenes in an attempt to stop them.
                                Spoiler:
                                The team is offworld, walking through a small human settlement that still bears the marks of Ori occupation (a sacrificial altar and numerous Origin-inspired decorations hang in tatters from the walls of nearby buildings). Daniel is in the middle of saying how this world was one of the last to be liberated from Adria's control, and as such is still trying to get back on its feet. The people here are rather advanced for their culture, too, posessing rapid-fire gunpowder weapons and aircraft.

                                Up ahead is the stargate, around which a group of soldiers are chatting to pass the time. Teal'c mentions that this world seems oddly at ease for one that spent so long under Ori control, and Vala quickly points out that they're probably just enjoying their freedom.

                                Suddenly, the stargate activates. The soldiers nearby immediately pull back and raise their weapons, calling for reinforcements in necessary. SG-1 halts, still a few dozen feet away, watching with interest. They expect it to be more traders, as these people react to any offworld activation as a potential threat. But when a stream of zat blasts comes through the stargate, stunning the soldiers nearby, they take cover at once.

                                A large group of Lucian Alliance men run through the gate, carrying an assortment of weaponry, mostly submachine guns. A few are armed with zats or other types of pistols, and it is assumed these are the officers. A shootout ensues between the surviving human guards and SG-1 on one side, the Lucian Alliance on the other.

                                But despite the valiant actions of the defenders, the Lucian men have the element of surprise on their side. Soon it becomes a contest between dozens of Lucian Alliance soldiers and SG-1 alone, and the Earth team knows they can't hold out forever. Seeing no other option, they pull back deeper into the settlement, hiding in an abandoned building at the edge of the city. They watch (via binoculars) as the humans try to recapture the stargate, but are forced to surrender. The Lucian Alliance has brought in staff canons and a new weapon; a hover-tank with two staff canons mounted on it around the size of a puddle jumper. Three of them have arrived and are patrolling the streets of the city, blasting apart any resistance with ease.

                                While they try to come up with a plan, the team debates what's going on. The insignias on the enemy soldiers' uniforms identify them as Garrin's men, but attacking a small world like this hardly makes sense. The planet itself has no strategic value and few precious natural resources. But Mitchell realizes that it does have one valuable asset; it's overprotective military have a vast store of weapons and munitions. And with Garrin now a public enemy in the galaxy, he can't afford to simply buy arms from places like Cindari (it is implied here that Cindari is effectively under Alliance control at this point, presumably the Jaffa or Nox stepped in), so stealing is the only option left to him.

                                Then Carter has an idea. They need to reach the gate and get back to Earth for some assistance, but they're never going to be able to make it with those tanks waiting form them. So she hands Mitchell her pack and tells him to "Go to town" on the other side of the city. While the others look on, confused, he grins, grabs Vala, and rushes off.

                                Later on, Carter, Jackson, and Teal'c are positioned on a rooftop near the gate, their weapons at the ready. Around two dozen soldiers are waiting below, with one hover-tank directly in front of the portal itself. Another tank is at the far end of the street, with the last one a bit farther out. Carter radios for Mitchell to "Do it", and an explosion is heard on the other side of the city... where Cameron and Vala have planted the team's C4 on the support beams on an abandoned warehouse.

                                At once, about two-thirds of the Lucian Alliance soldiers rush off to investigate, with the far-off tank acompanying them. Once they're gone, Daniel, Carter, and Teal'c open fire on the gunners on the tank at the far end of the street, knocking them down. Teal'c gets up and rushes downstairs, leaving Daniel and Carter to hold their own against the now-aware-of-them enemy troops. The tank near the gate immediately fires up at them, blasting whole chunks out of the building and nearly taking out SG-1.

                                Teal'c runs out of the building down below and makes his way (using cover as he can) to the other (and now crewless) tank, climbing aboard and bringing its staff canon to bear on the first hovering war machine. He fires a salvo of plasma bursts into it, chewing through its armor and finally hitting a critical part, and it explodes. Combined with that. Carter and Jackson are able to take out the rest of the soldiers, and they run down to join Teal'c.

                                As they dial up Earth (hurrying now, as the enemy soldiers have realized the diversion and are now returning), Cameron and Vala come around a building and rush toward their teammates, shouting for them to go faster. Daniel punches in the point of origin glyph and they run through the gate just as a hover-tank is rounding the bend.

                                On Earth, the team tumbles out of the stargate, Carter shouting for Walter to close the iris. The device slides shut just in time to catch a trio of impacts (no doubt plasma bursts from the canon), and then the gate shuts down. General Landry immediately demands to know what's going on, but Vala holds up a hand and demands in reply that they be given a few minutes to rest... and perhaps a few bottles of water.

                                Once they've had some rest, the team meets with Landry in the briefing room. Following SG-1's return, he contacted the Tok'ra and asked if there was anything alarming to report about Garrin's actions. Apparently, there is; the Tok'ra have been unable to contact two dozen human planets on the edge of Jaffa space, and the transponder signals of several tagged Lucian Alliance ships (the rogue variety) were tracked around those worlds when contact was lost. The conclusion is obvious; Garrin has been raiding human worlds with moderately-advanced technology, no doubt for weapons.

                                The Tok'ra have also reported that the rogue Lucian fleet is moving from world to world in a somewhat linear pattern, and they think they've predicted which one will be hit next, and it's one SG-1 knows all too well; Langara.

                                Presumably a short time later, the team arrives in the Kellownan capital to find Jonas Quinn waiting for them. He's been busy helping his people rebuild following the Ori occupation of his homeworld (S11: "Holding Ground"), and is delighted to see his friends again. But his mood quickly sours when they tell him what's coming, and he rushes to a nearby garrison to alert the Kellownan equivilent of the National Guard.

                                But before Jonas returns, the gate activates. SG-1 and the few soldiers there immediately fire upon the Lucian Alliance men as they come pouring through the stargate. At the same time, a squadron of death gliders swoops down from above and begins attacking the city itself; Garrin's fleet has arrived.

                                SG-1 and the Kellownan guards hold off the Lucian Alliance men for a moment, but are soon forced to pull back. They head into the streets and try again, this time with reinforcements from Jonas. At the same time, the city's AA defenses start firing at the gliders, and Langaran fightercraft arrive to assist. Eventually, the attackers are repelled, but the ships in orbit are preparing to open fire.

                                Luckily for the Langarans, though, a Jaffa task force arrives in the nick of time to engage the enemy. Landry contacted Bra'tac and asked for some backup... just in case. The Lucian Alliance ships retreat, and their men on the ground head back through the gate in fear.

                                As they prepare to head back to Earth, the team meets Jonas at the gate to ay good-bye. They gladly inform him that Garrin seems to be pulling back and stopping his attacks on human worlds now that the Jaffa and Tok'ra are working together to put battle groups at worlds he is headed to. For now, he's been stalled.

                                Jonas thanks them again for the assistance, then dials Earth and watches his friends head home.
