Episode 1 - "Shadow People"

[General James Phillips]

General James Phillips was in his office reading over some of the recent
intelligence reports that the Resistance had obtained. Part of the reports mentioned a small Goa'uld Installation on A6G-534. The report indicates that it is some sort of ship yard or base they have established for monitoring purposes. The General rubbed his temples lightly and then put down the paper work.

General Phillips stod from his desk and used them Comm equipment near his desk to send a message over the base. The speakers crackled to life within the compound and the unmistakable voice of the General was projected throughout.

"SR-1 report to the briefing room immediately. That is all." He turned of the comm equipment and made his way out of his office and down the hall to the briefing room.

The briefing room was empty except for one of the Corporals. "Corporal load up the pictures to the screen." The Corporal snapped to attention and did as he was told. "Yes Sir General."

The lights in the briefing room went dim and the pictures started to come up. It looked like an icy barren but as the pictures began to change and get closer the outline of a structure was becoming clearer. It was Goa'uld in structure no debate about that.

The General started to pour himself some of the synthetic coffee that they had on base. It was synthesized by Dr. Sorra and sure didn't taste much like coffee but it was the best they had till they could get another shipment from earth, which wasn't any time soon.

He patiently waited for the team.

[Meredith Mardol]

"free your mind...focus..call the target...nothing else matt-" Suddenly the General's voice came over the intercom, Falcon huffed slightly and set her Bow down onto her bed. Being one of the fe Civies in the base made her a little wary and a bit of an outsider, but she didn't mind, she didn't need anyone getting too close anyway.

She hung her bow on the wall and put the arrows back in their case. The Bow was one she'd had made, customized for her. It had a collapsable feature that made it easy to take on covert missions..a bit of Tok'ra technologies made hitting a target more accurate.

Stepping out of her quarters, she adjusted the fingerless gloves she wore, the gauntlets made to withstand the bowstring snapping against them, protecting her arms.

As she stepped into the Briefing room she noticed the General was getting some "coffee" and decided to follow suit.

"General," She acknowledged him as she poured a glass and sat down, turning her gaze to the viewscreen and the pictures it was showing.

[Katrina "Kia" Logan]

Katrina walked into the briefing room walking up to the General. Giving him a warm smile, she embraced him softly and pulled away looking into his eyes.

"That bad huh?"

Turning, Kat made her way to a seat and sat down stretching her arms across the table getting the kinks out of her neck. Then she sat herself in an upright formal position crossing her hands interlocking her fingers before she spoke.

"You know Jim, if you keep this up, you're going to wind up a patient in the infirmary with me sticking needles where you'd rather sit", she joked.

"You need some rest."

Gathering her senses and leaving the joking behind, Katrina herself looked up at the screen wondering just how bad that look she received from the General meant.

"Where's the popcorn?"

[Meredith Mardol]

"hmmm popcorn...such a luxury even saviors such as ourselves can't afford..." Falcon said with a half smile. Kat and Falcon got along quite splendidly, their sense of humor was more on the same line as well as they're independent woman streak. That didn't mean they didn't have their quarrels, but Falcon found herself more at ease with the woman then she did with most...anyone.

"How are things in the Med bay?" Falcon asked her as she awaited the rest of the team knowing full well the General wouldn't start till they were all here...the man hated repeating himself.

[Timothy Black]

Tim was chatting it up with some of the engineers in the gate room. They where trying to explain just how it all worked. It was like the 4th time they had tried and they where determined to get it through but the Colonel he wasn't one for technology, although he always did his best to try and understand it but it was like Dr. Sorra had told him once.

'Colonel I think it would be best if you didn't touch that..'

He heard Jim's voice over the comm and waved a farewell to the engineers. "Maybe next time fellas." They went back to their work as Tim made his way to the briefing room. He was pretty friendly with the General but he always showed his respect to him and always addressed the man as General. Alot of people had gotten very casual with him. It didn't bother Tim to much but he had gotten used to calling him General.

Tim walked in and noticed the lights where dimmed and photos where being presented on the screen.

"Ooo..a picture show how exciting." He saluted the General casually and went to take his seat. He could smell that horrible synthetic coffee he would do just fine without it.

Tim sat next to Katrina and gave her a smile. "Corporal." he said with a slight nod. Then he looked over to Meridith. "Miss Mardol."
He waited for the rest of the team to arrive.

[Dale Schreyer]

Dream state

A jeep stopped outside a building it was an old broken down building not much to look at five men climbed out of the jeep, a young Corporal reached for his sunglasses and placed it on shielding the sun from his eyes. “Corporal Schreyer and Captain Mathews you got our six understood?” A voice came from behind them.

“Yes Major understand.” Corporal Schreyer replied back to the Major. He and Captain Mathews moved behind while the Major and two other people walked closer towards the building. “OK listen up people we don’t know how many of them are in here reports say there could be at least twenty of them in there. I’ll lead you two follow behind us seeing as your new here.” Dale understood what he had to do the team head for the building. Once arriving at the door the Major opened it it was dark inside with bits of light peaking through from the window everything was going fine until a loud blast of energy hit the Major he went down several more appeared all around them. Dale turned to the door when he saw him a Jaffa blocking the door. Captain Mathews fell to the ground next to him he was the only one alive suddenly Dale was hit from behind by a Staff Weapon darkness fell.

Reality

Dale woke from his sleep sweat dripping from his face the sheets where on the floor in a pile. It took Dale several minuets to know where he was. Next second he herd the General’s voice saying that SR-1 was report to the briefing room seeing he was part of SR-1 he climbed out of bed and put his military uniform on and headed to the briefing room. He had been having those dreams nearly every night since the Goa'uld had attacked Earth. He arrived at the briefing room and saw some people there already seeing the General he saluted him. “Second Lieutenant Dale Schreyer reporting sir.” Dale said to the General as he walked in. He also saw the photos where being presented on the screen

[Lazerus Sorra]

Lazerus rushed into the briefing room with his papers and everything and went straight for the table where he laid it all down. He looked at the General and nodded to him. "General Phillips, I may have found a solution to our little problem."

He stood next to the General waiting for the remaining personnel to show up and for John to come in so he could explain the situation to them. He and the General had already discussed all this but they needed to inform the team. Laz noticed Katrina and gave a faint smile.

[Katrina "Kia" Logan]

"hmmm popcorn...such a luxury even saviors such as ourselves can't afford..."

Kat smiled as Meredith sat down next to her. Their relationship had its ups and downs, but isn't that how friendships are so suppose to be? Katrina saw Meredith as a sister of sorts since most of her family were gone and they got along just fine.

"How are things in the Med bay?"

She turned her head towards her and replied with a thankful expression. "Empty for a change. And I'd like to keep it that way", she finished looking back towards the general.

Just then, Timothy entered along with Dale and they sat down. Timothy greeted both Kat and Meredith and Katrina responded with usual gentle smile. Then, the scientist came bursting in as though he needed to express an urgent need to the general.

"General Phillips, I may have found a solution to our little problem."

She gave Laz a grin back and turned towards Meredith.

"I spoke to soon."

[Meredith Mardol]

"I hear that..." Falcon responded to Kia about her comment of keeping the Med Bay Empty.

"..Colonel..what you don't want any coffee?" She teased the man, holding her cup up and swirling it's contents a bit.

When the doctor broke in Falcon couldn't help but smile, it wasn't often that he got excited...too bad it was only ever over some new technology.

It had been awhile since they'd had anything really to do, and Falcon was itching for a mission.

[General James Phillips]

The General Saluted Dale, "Have a seat Lieutenant."Most of the team was here now and time was running out for them, so the General decided to start things. "We cant wait much longer." He turned to the Colonel. "Colonel Black its your responsibility to Inform Captain Johnson."

He made his way over to the screens. "Listen up people." he said in a serious tone it was now time to pay attention. "This is A6G-534, the surface of that world is roughly about 70 % Icy wasteland." The next picture came up it was several shots of a Goa'uld compound.

"This is what we believe to be a Goa'uld Outpost. We have brought you here today for one reason. You need to Infiltrate this compound and retrieve something. Dr. Sorra If you will." He said stepping aside letting the good doctor explain the rest.

[Timothy Black]

The Colonel was slightly turning back and forth in his spinning chair waiting for things to start. He wondered where Andrew was since it wasn't like him at all to miss out on briefings and the like.

He looked over at Meredith and shook his head. "No thanks Fal, Id rather have my appendix removed." He wasn't kidding he hates that synthetic coffee. The General was about the only one who genuinely liked it.

"We cant wait much longer." He turned to the Colonel. "Colonel Black its your responsibility to Inform Captain Johnson."

Tim sat up on his seat and shifted into serious mode. He knew when the General was being business that people better listen in. "Yes Sir." Tim watched the display on screen and shuttered to think that he would soon by in that frozen hell.

[Lazerus Sorra]

Lazerus cleared his throat as he stepped up to where the General was. He put down his papers and looked at each one of the members of SR-1

"First of this compound here is rumored to be a storage and repair station for this part of the solar system. It will most likely have some heavy security but it shouldn't be to bad."

The picture changed to a Stargate covered in Ice. "This Stargate found on A6G-534 is as of right now undiscovered by the Goa'uld. Thats how we have obtained these photos. We haven't gotten to close because giving away the Stargate location is not a good way to go.

He walked back and forth this time and kinda thought about his next words.

"You will have to go in..and borrow a piece of vital equipment that should be housed in the storage. The piece of equipment we need is the compounds shield Generator, it would be most valuable to use because we can reverse engineer it and use it in our own base or ships. As you know right now our shield prototype is not up to par with those of the Goa'uld. With this generator we would be able to take the fight beyond the ground and really have a fighting chance."

"Any Questions?"

[Katrina "Kia" Logan]

The seriousness of the General gave Kat a tingle down her spine which meant this was a delicate mission and possibly a deadly one if not done accordingly. Sitting up in her seat, she took on the photos before her and listened closely to the explanation of both the General and the good Doctor.

A frozen hell. We'll need plenty of blankets if we get stuck there, she thought as Laz finished up his announcement.

"Any questions?"

Kat sat up in her chair and raised her hand, then spoke.

"You say the Stargate hasn't been found yet by the Goa'uld. So, how are we to gain entrance there without lighting up their radar beams once we enter through that gate? Unless we have found some other miraculous form of transportation."

[Dale Schreyer]

The General Saluted Dale, "Have a seat Lieutenant."

Dale returned the salute back to the General and took a seat at the table. Dale listened as the briefing when it came to the part that they where going to an planet that was covered in seventy percent of Ice he didn’t like that one bit, but he went he he was told to. It was part of being an officer when Laz asked the team is they had any questions Dale thought of one.

"Any Questions?"

“Yeah I just have one question by borrow you mean steal right?” Dale asked looking at Laz.

[Meredith Mardol]

"Come on Lieutenant have you known us to ever give anything back?" Falcon teased him. She turned back to the General and the Doctor.

"I'm Game...just don't let me forget my snow suit." Falcon was generally up for pretty much anything, but then, everyone knew that.
