h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I assume your weapons training is exemplory. Pick up your basics, ammo packs, flak jacket and tools. Standard issue assult rifle and zat are the essentials. As for your side arm, I'll let you be creative.

Sir, would it be okay if i choose my own rifle instead of using the standard issue one?

*smiles*

Surprise me.

*smiles*

Will do.

*leaves again*

*re-enters fully equipt*

Right, i'm ready sir.

Okay state of play is as follows. Major Scandrea and a small detachment were ambushed on planet MA2-491. The major was captured beifly by a snake-head going by the name of Atum. Thankfully we got her out of there and the colonel is currently undercover on his homeworld.

What we found out though is this Atum wants that planet, or something on it badly enough to send an entire battalion of jaffa there. Which is why we are going back there. Now the rest of SG3 are there waiting on us.

*the major grabs his rucksac*

Incidently, have you ever travelled thousands of miles in the blink of an eye before?

No i haven't, but there's a first time for everything.

*smirks*

Walter can you punch in the code for MA2-491?

*turns to Shatterwolf*

You'll love it. Really.

Well, what we waiting for, lets go.

*Walter punches in the code and the gate comes to life*

Lets find out what was so important about this planet then.

*fretts walks up the ramp to the portal and turns...*

Well what you waiting for, lets go already.

*...then disappears through the haze*

*walks up the ramp and hesitates*

Well here goes nothing.

*steps through the gate*

*sighs*

*picks up his WA-2000 and his H&K Carbine and walks up the ramp and through*

*The gate activates.*

[Walter] Recieving IDC- it's Tok'ra.

*When the iris is lowered, Scandrea and the antelope step through.*

[DF] Scandrea!

*They give each other a hug.*

[DF] God, I was so worried! Are you all right?

[S] Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, do you have your copy of the field notes? I kind of lost mine.

[DF] Don't worry about that. *He produces a notebook.* What happened to you?

[S] It's a long story, and most of it's classified. I'll tell you what I can, when I can.

*They walk to the med bay.*

*walks in*

Walter, what was the most recently dialled planet?

[walter]MA2-491.

Ok can you dial MA2-491 then please?

*walter dials the gate and the gate opens*

Well here goes...
*walks through the gate*

*A Call comes through from the Colonel*

[Colonel] Walter? Walter are you there?

*Walter jumps*

[Walter] Yes Ma'am where are you

[Colonel] In Atum's communications room, without a IDC, are there any teams out on friendly planets where I can get too

[Walter] Major Fretts is on MA2-491, I'll let him know you're coming, I'm sending you gate co-ordinates

[Colonel] Thanks Walter, I'll Gate Hop to make sure they don't follow me

[Walter] Ma'am?

[Colonel] I'll travel to about half a dozen different gates before I get too MA2-491 I should lose anyone who follows me

[Walter] Ok Ma'am I'll let Major Fretts know you're coming

[Colonel] Thanks Walter, Over and Out

*Tannoy*

\/\Major Scandrea to the Gate Room\/\

*Walter dials the Gate*

[Walter] Major Fretts this is SGC

*Scandrea is already on her way to the gate room when called. She's wearing an expression that is usually on a face charging toward mem in Pamplona, almost always underneath horns.*

What's the situation? Has the colonel come back?

*Walter looks at Scandrea's face and swallows nervously*

[Walter] We've had a communication from the Colonel she's on Atum's planet she's looking for a way to escape she says she's going to rendezvous with Major Fretts on 491

*Scandrea shakes her head.*

Is there anything we can do to help her?

[Walter] I think all we can do is wait, you know how Atum's palace works Ma'am

I know.

*Sits down, slumped in a chair with her head in her hands.*

I know /exactly/ how it works.
