Planet: Vis Uban Planet Description: Ancient ruins Inhabitants: Nomadic tribes Emulated Culture: Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
Daniel is given the name Arrom, meaning "Naked One."
Jonas theorized that the Lost City was the City of the Lost, possibly Vis Uban, an Ancient city which was still under construction when the plague broke out that wiped out the Ancients. However, his translation of "Lacun" as "of the lost" was in error.
Vis Uban translates as "Place of Great Power."
SG-1 visited the last of the planets entered into the computer by O’Neill using the knowledge of the Ancients, believing it may be Vis Uban, later designated P4T-3G6.
The Lost City was hidden. The Ancients made it lost to other people that might try to find it, probably by using camouflage and removing all reference to it from written history.
Anubis’s superweapon is what gives him a clear advantage over the rest of the Goa’uld motherships. He is quickly decimating the forces of the remaining System Lords, and is in a position to dominate the galaxy.
Yu pledged to bring the full force of the remaining System Lords’ fleet against Anubis, but he instead diverted the fleet to Chodawa.
The X-302 is now referred to as F-302 (Fighter-302). It can use the naquadria powered subspace engines only in short controlled bursts. It can be disassembled, sent through the stargate, and reassembled on the other side.
The code name for the F-302 mission is Air Strike.
Both General Hammond and Technician Davis go off-world.
Colonel Reynolds commands SG-3.

Enemies’ promises were made to be broken. [Shamda]
And yet honesty is the best policy. [O’Neill]
He that has too many friends has none. [Shamda]
Ah, but birds of a feather… [O’Neill]
Kind of an over-the-top, cliché bad guy, black cloak, oily skin, kind of spooky. [O’Neill]
Why am I here? [Daniel]
Hey, why are any of us here? [O’Neill]
Did I mention you owe me fifty bucks? [O’Neill]
Has your hair always been that way? [Daniel]

Never mind. [Daniel]
I am unable to kelno’reem as I once did since I began using tretonin. [Teal’c]

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Through the mind probe, Anubis has gained all the knowledge of Jonas Quinn, and he has taken the stockpile of naquadria from Kelowna.
The Kelownans, Tiranians, and Andaris did go to war, and Kelowna used the naquadria bomb. The effects were devastating, but it brought the three powers to the table to negotiate a cease-fire.
Jonas returns to Kelowna as the Kelownan representative of the new joint ruling council of the planet.
Lord Yu is the oldest of the System Lords and has reached the point where he is unable to take another host.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
Haven’t you guys ever heard the story of the dog and the dancing monkeys? It has something to do with getting along and… dancing. [O’Neill]
Hey Daniel, feed my fish? [Jonas]
Dinner’s at seven, don’t be late. Teal’c gets a little cranky when his blood sugar gets low. [O’Neill]
It’s not that I mind rejoining SG-1 and exploring the galaxy, meeting new cultures, jeopardy, saving the world, that kind of thing… We get paid for this, right? [Daniel]
Loki is the god of mischief in Norse mythology. As a scientist and former geneticist with the Asgard Ruling Council, he was stripped of his stature and banished after being caught performing unsanctioned experiments on humans 19 years ago.
Human bodies are similar to the Asgard’s original form thousands of years ago, before repeated cloning caused genetic deterioration.
O’Neill’s ability to acquire the data from the Ancients’ repository of knowledge suggests that he is physiologically advanced and a significant step forward on the evolutionary path. O’Neill is legendary.
The Asgard had safeguarded O’Neill’s genetic coding for his own protection. A marker was placed in his DNA to prevent any attempts at genetic manipulation.
O’Neill’s security ID indicates his full name is John J. O’Neill, birthdate October 20, 1952.
O’Neill has not mentioned having a sibling.
O’Neill reads "Cracked" magazine.
Harlan Beck is now a lieutenant colonel from the 10th Air Base Wing at the Air Force Academy. As a lieutenant, he had served with O’Neill in Special Ops, in Operation Proven Force out of Incirlik, Turkey, during the Gulf War.
The X-302 is now referred to as the F-302 [Fighter 302]. The pilots wear an F-302 patch showing the F-302 in flight, and 7 stars, representing the victims of the Columbia disaster, February 1, 2003. A second patch shows "Snakeskinners 1st SFW". The training mission was dubbed Blue Phoenix.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:

Daniel, until recently, you were an ascended being. You broke the rules, you got yourself kicked out of the Oma Desala Fan Club, and had your memory erased. [Young O’Neill]
I’ll go set up a PlayStation. [Carter]
Hey, I realize that it doesn’t actually say ‘colonel’ anywhere on my uniform, but it should. [Young O’Neill]
I’ll drag the little tyke kicking and screaming through the gate myself. I didn’t come all this way to watch him die like this. [Daniel]
This plan sucks. [Young O’Neill]
Look, I know you don’t think I am who I am, but as far as I’m concerned, I am… who I am. [Young O’Neill]
Wow, you know, I’m really much taller than I think. [Young O’Neill]
How long was I asleep? [O’Neill]
Seven days. [Carter]
That’s a record. [O’Neill]
I just woke up, haven’t had coffee, let alone a pee in seven days, and I find out you stole my ass and made a… Mini-Me. [O’Neill]
I was stripped of my stature after I was caught performing unsanctioned experiments on humans. [Loki]
What, you’ve got sanctioned ones? [O’Neill]
Well, easy to see why they kicked you out of the science club. [Young O’Neill]

Planet: Erebus Planet Description: Death camp and naquadah refinery Inhabitants: Jaffa prisoners of war Emulated Culture: Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
After Ba’al led the allied fleet against Anubis at Kelowna, his empire expanded further and faster than anyone expected. Ba’al now controls the combined forces of the "United Alliance of the System Lords" against Anubis.
According to Greek mythology, Erebus is a place where condemned souls pass as soon as they die. Erebus recently came under the control of Ba’al. It is used for the construction of ha’tak vessels and the purification of the naquadah to build them, using forced labor of Jaffa prisoners of war.
When Bra’tac dials the Alpha Site, the address includes the glyphs: 4-5-8-33-25
The Ambush of Kresh’taa is the name given to the meeting of the rebel tribes in which 106 warriors were slaughtered leaving only Teal’c and Bra’tac alive [see "The Changeling"].
SG-1 was accompanied by SG-2 and SG-3 on the rescue mission to Erebus.
"Kek" means both death, and weakness.
Daniel translates:
Jaffa Hol! Kal vak! Rin nok! ("I do the bidding of Ba’al, shut up…")
Kel mar tokeem! Tel mak kree! Meg tal! ("You’re poisoned, you’re cursed by the wearer of horns, you’re sloppy…")
Without a symbiote, kelno’reem is unnecessary, and Teal’c has discontinued the practice, although it does make him feel better.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
O’Neill. I believe his offering of colored gelatin was his attempt to sympathize. [Teal’c]
Fraiser says Teal’c needs a little pep talk. I’ve been practicing in front of a mirror for an hour. [O’Neill]
Not peppy enough? [Daniel]
Not really. [O’Neill]
Daniel Jackson, for a successful kelno’reem, there is one element required above all others. Silence. [Teal’c]
"I do the bidding of Ba’al, shut up…" [Daniel]
Shut up? [O’Neill]
Yeah, I’m paraphrasing. [Daniel]
It’s time for Plan B. [O’Neill]
We have a Plan B? [Carter]
No, but it’s time for one. [O’Neill]
You have had a physical advantage over me for a long time, and yet, I have never lost a sparring match to you. [Bra’tac]

NOTES OF INTEREST:
P3X-289 is about 6000 light years from Earth.
The atmosphere is completely toxic, containing sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ammonia.
When industrial growth poisoned the atmosphere 400 years ago, the dome was created to maintain the community. The original population was over 100,000.
The geo-thermal vents that supply the town’s power started to cool about 200 years ago, and the dome began shrinking some time after that. The current population is 1373, living within a dome about 2.2 kilometers wide and 500 meters high.
The inhabitants know the stargate as the Gate of Mahg Mar, discovered 563 years ago, and believed to have been of ritual significance in the worship of the goddess Morrigan.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
A dark star would pass close enough to Talthus’s sun to cause a flare that would engulf the planet. Three ships were built, including the Stromos, to carry the chosen survivors of their race in an evacuation from Talthus to Ardena, a voyage of hundreds of years. Over one thousand souls were aboard the Stromos.
A consciousness cannot survive the restoration process without signifcant loss of memory and intellect. For this reason, the consciousness is separated from the body. Each cryogenic capsule contains an active matrix module sufficient to sustain one single mind. Its systems are connected with those that regulate and sustain the corresponding sleeper’s body. There are failsafes to prevent one from returning to any other body than one’s own, unless the sleepers’ bodies are dead. Only then can the failsafes be overridden and the consciousness purged from the system.
Pharrin carried twelve souls within his body, and downloaded at least another twelve into Daniel.
SG-4 retrieves SG-1 from P2A-347.
SG-12 returns to P2A-347 as backup with Carter and Teal’c.

Chaka continues to live on the planet where he led an Unas uprising, then brokered a truce which established a fragile but successful peace between the humans and the Unas who were formerly their slaves.
The Unas of P3X-403 were formerly slaves of the Goa’uld. Their ancestors had been worked to death in the naquadah mines, now sacred ground.
Resonance scans of P3X-403 reveal a deposit of 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.
The experimental X-302 is now Fighter F-302.
The experimental X-303 is now Battle Cruiser BC-303.
General Vidrine at the Pentagon has been put in charge of BC-303 production which requires vast naquadah resources.
Colonel Edwards commands SG-11 with Major Lorne, Lieutenant Menard, and Lieutenant Ritter (killed in action).
Other SG teams on the planet include SG-3, SG-12 and SG-17.

The Loop of Kon Garat is sponsored each year by Tech Con Group, and the winner is awarded an extremely lucrative contract with Tech Con’s Deep Space Exploration Project.
The course consists of four distinct stages: defense (attack drones), navigation (within the coronasphere of the sun), maneuverability (asteroid field), and speed.
Ten ships entered the 59th Loop of Kon Garat, including Warrick Finn and co-pilot Carter (of the Seberus), Golon Jarlath (of the Oran), La’el Montrose, Muirios, and Shibo (of the Tritan).
The Tech Con family of products includes: TCNN Network, Tech Con Ultra Sport Beverage, Tech Con Group’s Friendly Gaming Kiosks, Tech Con Group Funeral Services, Radon Shield 55 from Tech Con Cosmetics, Ion Pro Engine Additive from Tech Con Propulsion Systems, and Corso’s Temporal Eatery, part of the Tech Con Group family of restaurants.

The theory had been that the gate network must undergo periodic correlative updates every couple of hundred years in order to compensate for stellar drift. It is believed that the gates dial each other automatically to transmit the new coordinates that apply to each address.
The random dialing of 7 symbols chosen from a pool of 38 non-repeating candidates results in about 63 billion possible combinations.
The spread of Avenger 2.0 caused each DHD to be unable to establish an outgoing wormhole, although the gate could receive an incoming wormhole. The Earth gate was the only one able to dial out because it does not rely on a DHD.
Avenger 2.0 was named after the Amazing Avenger, a comic book hero with green tights and a purple cape.
At the moment, Ba’al has the largest fleet among the Goa’uld. With the gate system down because of Avenger, he is taking advantage of the situation, attacking the other System Lords on several fronts, and winning.
In all, 15 teams had been off-world, 3 teams returned, and 12 were stranded until the gate system was back online.
P5S-117 is the planet under the control of Ba’al to which the Avenger 2.0 virus was first uploaded.
P3C-249 is the planet where O’Neill and Teal’c met to negotiate with Rebel Jaffa leaders.
P3L-997 is the planet where Daniel attempted to relocate the inhabitants due to the decaying orbit of their moon.
P4F-221 is the planet from which a mining team returned when off-world teams were being recalled.

Thirty years ago, Moloc decreed that only male children would be allowed to live, as only they could strengthen his armies and lead him to victory in the war of the gods. Any female child is to be sacrificed in the ceremony of fire immediately after birth.
These Jaffa children have been genetically altered to depend upon symbiotes once they reach the age of "prata", or puberty.
The female Jaffa warriors who fight against Moloc refer to their planet and to themselves as "Hak'tyl", which means "liberation".

Planet: Ramius's Planet Planet Description: Forests, open fields, pyramid Inhabitants: Ramius and his Jaffa Emulated Culture: Egyptian Episode Guide |

NOTES OF INTEREST:
Ramius and Tilgath had attempted an alliance to battle against Anubis. Anubis’s strategy is to assassinate any minor Goa’ulds vulnerable to attack, absorbing their troops and resources in preparation for battle with Ba’al and the System Lords.
The Ancient device was designed to heal, but it is so powerful that its effects on human hosts is devastating. It was discovered thousands of years ago by Telchak, who used the technology to create the first sarcophagus.
After Telchak created the sarcophagus, but before Anubis attempted to ascend, Anubis went to war with Telchak for possession of the original Ancient device. Anubis defeated Telchak, but never acquired the device.
The Ancient device was probably the basis of the "Fountain of Youth" mythology. Nicholas Ballard believed the source of the Fountain of Youth was alien technology used by early Mayan tribes around 900 BC, and attributed to Chac, the Mayan god of rain.
Cantina LaLupita is 20 miles outside of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The Ancient device was buried to the south of there.
Anubis’s drone warriors are referred to as "warriors", "supersoldiers", and "Kull Warriors".
The warrior is genetically engineered for strength, not longevity, and may have a lifespan of only a few weeks. It is given life after it is grown, using technology similar to the Ancient device.
The warrior’s armor is made of a fiber similar to Kevlar which can be penetrated by a small sharp dart, but which uses advanced energy absorption technology that makes it impervious to armor-piercing weapons, machine guns, staff weapons, zat guns, tranquillizers, force fields, claymores, and C4.
Tartarus is a seemingly unoccupied planet on the edge of Goa’uld controlled space, used as a base of operations for Anubis.
SG-1 was accompanied to Ramius's planet by SG-3, under the command of Colonel Reynolds, and SG-12.

O’Neill, Burke, and Woods had been close friends and teammates years before. Woods betrayed them and planned to set himself up as a mercenary. He turned his weapon on Burke, and Burke killed him, but out of respect for Wood’s wife, he testified that it had been a friendly fire incident.
A symbiote is spawned with the genetic memory of the maternal bloodline, however it is possible for a queen to deliberately minimize her brain wave pattern when she enters a spawn cycle in order to prevent passing on her genetic memory. The offspring would be blank slates with no free will.

Planet: Gas cloud in space Planet Description: Similar to a nebula Inhabitants: Emulated Culture: Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
The hyperdrive engine used to bring Prometheus home was taken from an al’kesh and designed for a ship one tenth the size of the Prometheus. Regular cool-down periods are scheduled approximately every 49 light years.
The ship’s sensors are unable to identify the actual content of the gas cloud. It is more likely made up of a denser group of gases than that of a typical nebula or gas giant, and the gases are corrosive to the ship’s hull.
Although the gas cloud’s makeup prevents engaging a hyperspace window, Carter is able to dial down the power flow to the hyperdrive emitter in order to cause a partial shift into hyperspace, essentially taking the ship out of the cloud’s space-time just long enough to eliminate its effects on the sub-light engines.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:

Naquadria is not native to P2S-4C3 and does not occur in nature.
Thanos was the Goa’uld who occupied P2S-4C3 (Langara) 3000 years ago. He developed a process to convert raw naquadah into naquadria. Historical documents indicate Thanos was destroyed in a cataclysmic event which released subatomic particles and triggered a chain reaction that converted the first vein of naquadah.
In another 10,000 years the converted naquadria would have decayed back into naquadah, but the Kelownans mined it and set off the naquadria bomb which triggered the conversion of the second, deeper vein which threatens to destroy the planet two years later.
The heat and pressure formed by the conversion of the larger, deeper vein of naquadria would result in an explosion that would destroy half of Kelowna’s land mass and render the entire planet uninhabitable.
The Deep Underground Excavation Vehicle, originally designed to mine naquadria, will drill through 20 kilometers of solid rock to deposit a small nuclear device that will trigger a shift along a fault line and isolate the advancing naquadria to break the chain reaction of conversion.
Langara is the new name of P2S-4C3, taken from an ancient dialect common to all three nations and chosen by committee as a symbol of the planet’s new unity.
Madronus is approximately 14,000 light years away, and may or may not be the same as Madrona. (see “Touchstone”) The Madronans are a peaceful and advanced society with sufficient resources, but will not be subjected to the likes of the Langarans.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
Well, you see, we actually like the Madronans. They’re nice people. And we’ve decided there’s no way we’d subject them to the likes of you. Deal’s off. You’re toast. ...That’s what you get for dicking around. [O’Neill]
Judging from what you have to deal with back on Kelowna, I’m not surprised. I mean, I’d take life-threatening danger over one of those council meetings any day of the week. [Daniel]
Sarah mentions doing her doctoral thesis at Cambridge before coming to Chicago, where she met Daniel. She was in love with him, but his obsession with his research destroyed their relationship, and she finally broke it off with him when he worked through their anniversary.
Pete Shanahan is a friend of Carter’s brother, Mark, who introduced them. He is a cop from Denver, a career he chose because he admired a particular cop who had taken an interest in him as a young man and who made a difference in his life. He is divorced.
Osiris may have used the modified memory recall device on Daniel rather than Anubis’s mind probe because the way in which Oma erased Daniel’s memories of his ascension might have made it impossible for the mind probe to access the subconscious.
Osiris has access to the Asgard beaming technology because Anubis once probed Thor’s mind.
The jamming device jams the frequencies the Goa’uld use for communication and for the remote control of devices like the ring transporter. It disabled the Asgard beaming technology because it had been interfaced with a Goa’uld command device.
The SGC is classified under Section 11-C-9 of the National Security Act, and it continues to use deep-space telemetry for NORAD as its cover story.

Planet: Alpha Site Planet Description: Forested, SGC base now destroyed Inhabitants: Evacuated to the Beta Site Emulated Culture: Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
The location of the Alpha Site was compromised when Anubis used his mind probe on Jonas. The site was relocated, and the SGC brought the gate in a Tok’ra ship to a new planet with a completely new address. The security leak that led to the destruction of the new site is unknown. Jacob believes that the prototype weapon was the reason for the attack.
One month after finding Telchak’s reanimation device the SGC and Tok’ra had cooperated to develop a prototype weapon designed to counteract the reanimation technology and neutralize Anubis’s drones. With the upgraded power unit, the weapon is effective against the Kull Warriors.
The Kull Warrior’s armor is impervious to energy weapons and regular firearms, however a missle at close range might be effective. Kull Warriors apparently do not possess sensors or tracking equipment, nor a particularly accurate aim.
Tok’ra operatives have orders never to allow themselves to be taken alive, and they take special precautions to ensure that the brain is not left intact, so that no revival in a sarcophagus is possible.
Earth’s tendency to provoke direct confrontation with the Goa’uld has resulted in the deaths of more Tok’ra than in the previous hundred years combined.
More System Lords have fallen in the past seven years than in the previous 700 years.
M’zel is never named in the episode. He wears the tattoo of Heru’ur, and served Apophis after Heru’ur’s defeat, before joining the Rebel Jaffa.
Anubis has won a major victory against the forces of Olokun. Both Rebel Jaffa, and a Tok’ra spy were within Olokun’s ranks.
Selmak is a member of the High Council of the Tok’ra, however, an increasing number of High Council members are coming to doubt Selmak’s true loyalties, fearing strong sympathies with Earth.
Both the Tok’ra and the Rebel Jaffa choose to leave the Beta Site, and bring an end to the Tauri-Tok’ra-Jaffa alliance.
SG-3, under Colonel Reynolds, joins SG-1 to search for survivors at the Alpha Site. They are joined by SG-11 and SG-21.
Selmak doesn’t like coffee.

The official purpose of the documentary is to chronicle the 1000th trip through the stargate. The unofficial reason probably has more to do with political posturing since the current president is leaving office and doesn’t want to look bad if and when the stargate program ever goes public.
Senator Kinsey and his running mate are running for election to the presidency.
Planet P3X-666 is not identified by name until part 2. SG-13 found the ruins of a city built by the Ancients, and no sign of recent Goa’uld activity.
P3X-298 is the planet from which Daniel recovered a mask fragment that was carbon dated to match the predynastic period of Egypt here on Earth.
P2X-787 is the planet which SG-13 had earlier explored and had encountered a particularly scary alien comparable to the ultrasound image of Well’s unborn child.
The list of O’Neill’s injuries includes: severe hypothermia, nanite technology artificially aging him, shoulder punctured by an alien time capsule device, three knee operations, the whole Hathor incident he’s asked never to be discussed, and exposure to an ancient incurable disease, but fortunately there was a Tok’ra symbiote in need of a temporary host at the time that managed to do the trick.
The Earth gate draws 10% more wattage than off-world gates, probably due to the way that the super-conductive crystals inside the gate absorb electrical energy, but also possibly due to the DHDs somehow producing a purer, more efficient form of power.
Kevlar will not stop the energy blast from a staff weapon. The armor plating in other bullet-proof protection gets super-heated from the plasma, so while it would stop the penetration, the wearer is essentially trapped in what becomes their own personal microwave oven. Dr. Lee has developed a new ceramic polymer that will resist the heat, stop the blast, and fits into a standard-issue SG vest.
SG-13, under the command of Colonel Dave Dixon, with Bosworth, Wells, and Balinsky, completed the mission to P3X-666.
SG-1, SG-3, SG-5, and SG-7 were sent as backup to P3X-666.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
I like vanilla over chocolate, my favorite color is peridot, I think Tibet should be free, and if I could have dinner with anyone in the world, it would be Mary Steenburgen. [O’Neill]
Sure. It’s really cool. Steam comes out of it and everything. [Carter]
I'm going to put my money on trees, sir. [Bosworth]
Bosworth’s disqualified for being a smart-ass. [Dixon]
All-night screaming, projectile vomiting, nuclear diapers... you have no idea. The reason they make them so damn cute is so you don’t suffocate them in their sleep. [Dixon]
Officially, it’s to chronicle the 1000th trip through the stargate. [Carter]
One thousand, you say? There should be a cake. [O’Neill]
Dr. Jackson’s going to die when he sees this. [Balinsky]
What, again? [Dixon]
I thought as much, sir, and I just wanted to express my deep and unyielding... love for you, sir. [O’Neill]
I did not say much. [Teal’c]
Really? That is surprising. It’s usually so hard to shut you up. [Carter]
Fire away. I hope shots of my ass serve you well. [O’Neill]
See, that’s the thing. When there’s action, I’m too busy to be pointing a camera. I’m, you know, running, shooting, translating what the bad guys are saying... [Daniel]

Survivor
There were film cameras on the beaches of Normandy decades before "Survivor" debuted on CBS.
Senator Kinsey is the Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Committee, and has asked that Woolsey review Hammond’s command decision regarding the recent attempted rescue of SG-13. Woolsey is authorized to begin a full investigation into the matter as part of a larger examination of SGC strategic policy that the Committee is preparing for the President.
Woolsey has an MBA and LLB from Harvard, was lead counsel for the Army Corps of Engineers for ten years, and later sat on the Defense Policy Board. He was asked to resign last year when it was disclosed that he had financial ties to a large corporation that had been awarded over $800 million in private sector defense contracts by the Pentagon, and has been with the NID since then.
After the ambush on P3X-666, SG-1, SG-5, SG-7, and Fraiser were sent as backup. They are later listed as SG-1, SG-5, Fraiser and the medical team, giving the impression that SG-7 is a medical team.
The standing machines at the back of the gateroom have several purposes, not including Space Invaders.
MEMORABLE REMARKS:
We often talk about those that give their lives in the service of their country, and while Janet Fraiser did just that, that’s not what her life was about. The following are the names of the men and women who did not die in service, but who are in fact alive today, because of Janet... [Carter]
Our armed forces have turned the tide of world wars. Young men and women from our great country’s four courners have humbled history’s worst tyrants. We carve our thanks in stone. We stamp it into medals. We carefully tend to vast fields where the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom now lay. More than ever in our history, we cannot fail to pass these stories of courage to the next generation. We must capture their imaginations while paying tribute to all those willing to die for the preservation of our way of life. [Documentary Narration]
I’ve written a lot of letters to the next of kin. Nothing ever seems like it’s enough. They deserve more. This is something more. [Hammond]

The abandoned industrial complex in Los Angeles was home to a rogue NID sleeper cell that Barrett had been trying to locate for over a year. With ties that run deep, and infinite resources at their disposal, the rogue NID remains very active. Thirty-two people were found dead.
Keffler is the son of a convicted Nazi war criminal. The artifacts in the warehouse go all the way back to Napoleon. The Nazis eventually recovered them and they ended up with Keffler’s father.
Among the artifacts was a canopic jar containing the preserved symbiote of Sekhmet. The rogue NID intended to create a human who could tell them everything a Goa’uld would know, by creating a human-Goa’uld hybrid who would have access to the Goa’uld knowledge that is passed on genetically.
Anna is a human-Goa’uld hybrid, created by Keffler by splicing human ovum with DNA taken from the symbiote of Sekhmet, and using nanite technology from Argos that was accessed from Area 51 to artificially age her. The Goa’uld DNA will eventually overwrite the human DNA, resulting in a painful death. Anna appeared to be over 20 years old, but her lifespan was likely less than three years.
Sekhmet was a Goa’uld who at one time was loyal to Ra. She was a powerful ally of his, and he would routinely dispatch her to rule planets in his stead, quelling rebellions and overseeing mass executions. It is believed she was exiled for plotting against Ra. It is also believed that she lived on Earth for most of his dynasty.
Most of the artifacts in the warehouse are related to Sekhmet and were probably found on Earth, possibly in an Egyptian tomb or crypt. One artifact is Sekhmet’s ark, ordained in the golden motif of Ra, the sun god, possibly a gift to Sekhmet. Four scarabs in the corners turn as a combination lock to open it. The bomb inside contained ten pounds of naquadah.
Among Goa’uld power crystals, the blue is typically for power regulation. The red crystal seemed to control the timer.
Carter is qualified to do the job of a data retrieval team to decode encrypted computer records.

There is reason to believe that the rogue element within the NID has not been entirely eliminated and may be stronger than ever. At the time of the assassination attempt on Kinsey, something made him a liability, but afterward, a reconciliation presented the opportunity to propel Kinsey onto the presidential ticket with the promise of the full control of the Stargate Program that the White House affords.
The disk of evidence against Kinsey which Maybourne and O’Neill retrieved from Kinsey’s computer and turned over to Hammond, has been turned over to Woolsey, and to President Hayes.
Senator, now Vice President, Kinsey’s first name is Robert.
Hammond is a 30-year veteran of the US Air Force.

NOTES OF INTEREST:
President Hayes effectively shut down the SGC for a three-month review process during which a newly formed government department will take the place of Stargate Command. Hammond is relieved of command and replaced by Dr. Elizabeth Weir, a civilian and expert in international politics.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir started her career as a political activist lobbying against the government’s spending on the military. She speaks five languages, including Russian. She mediated a negotiation in North Africa, and brokered a dozen of the most sensitive international treaties in modern times, including several for the UN.
Hammond and President Hayes have known each other for a long time. Both were lieutenants when they last spoke.
Kinsey brought in a lot of financing to Hayes’s campaign, and delivered Florida in the election.
SG-2 discovered a colonnade on P3X-439 with Ancient writing. SG-3 (commanded by Colonel Reynolds) and SG-5 (commanded by Major Harper) provide backup for SG-1 when they return to the planet.
“Up, down, charmed, strange” is a reference to different types of quarks.
In the language of the Ancients, “derentis” means “insane, crazy”.
The SGC has gone to DEFCON 3 (yellow).

Oh, please. Teal’c’s, like, one of the deepest people I know. He’s so deep. Go on, tell him how deep you are. You’ll be lucky if you understand this. [Daniel]

LOST CITY (part 2)
Planet: Praclarush Taonas Planet Description: Ancient outpost completely covered by lava flows Inhabitants: Uninhabited Emulated Culture: Episode Guide |
Pictures
NOTES OF INTEREST:
Each symbol on the stargate has a corresponding sound so it can be spoken aloud, like an alphabet. Praclarush Taonas isn’t just the name of the planet, it’s also the gate address:
= pra
= cla
= rush
= ta
= o
= nas
= at
“Praclarush Taonas” means “lost in fire.” The SGC had dialed the planet two years ago but couldn’t establish a wormhole because the gate was buried under lava flows.
It is possible to use the coordinates of a gate address to calculate a planet’s position in space in order to reach it by ship.
As O’Neill’s mind is overwritten by the knowledge of the Ancients, he begins speaking Ancient words, recognizes the gate symbols as spoken sounds, begins packing without knowing why, adjusts the hyperdrive crystals to increase the speed of the cargo ship, controls the Ancient chair on Praclarush Taonas, heals Bra’tac’s knife wound, modifies the transport rings, and activates the Ancient defense chair in Antarctica to destroy Anubis’s fleet.
O’Neill begins speaking the language of the Ancients:
Things just popped into my fron. = “head”
A bit cruvis. = “wrong”
A little fron-ache. = “headache”
Terre Atlantus = “Earth, Atlantis”
Subo glaciuse = “under the ice”
Dormata = “sleep”
Aveo amacuse = “goodbye”
The transport rings have a limit to the thickness of solid matter they can penetrate. The transmission beam cannot penetrate a mile of solid ice.
President Hayes shares information about Anubis’s impending attack with the governments of Russia, Great Britain, France, China, and Canada.
President Hayes informs Kinsey that he should consider his resignation accepted.
The SGC goes from DEFCON 3 to DEFCON 1.
The Ancient defense chair, the zero point module crystal power source, and the glowing defense drones do not yet have official names.
General John P. Jumper is the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, DC. A biography can be found on the Air Force website.
