Stargate Page #2

Synopsis: In 1928, in Egypt, a strange device is found by an expedition. In the present days, the outcast linguist Dr. Daniel Jackson is invited by a mysterious woman to decipher an ancient hieroglyph in a military facility. Soon he finds that the device was developed by an advanced civilization and opens a portal to teletransport to another planet. Dr. Jackson is invited to join a military team under the command of Colonel Jonathan 'Jack' O'Neil that will explore the new world. They find a land that recalls Egypt and humans in a primitive culture that worship and are slaves to Ra, the God of the Sun. But soon they discover the secret of the mysterious "stargate".

Chevron two is holding.

"Engage."

Chevron two is locked in place.

We're at 35 per cent.

We got a condition red in the gate.

Evacuate all personnel.

Area secure. Heading back.

Seal off the door.

It was under the cover stones?

Yes. My father found it in 1928.

Made out of a mineral

unlike any found on Earth.

Chevron five locked in place.

Chevron six is holding.

Chevron six is locked in place.

This is as far as we have

ever been able to get.

Chevron seven...

"Engage."

Chevron seven is locked in place.

Send in the probe.

Let's go! Let's go!

Yes, sir.

Record all information

from the Stargate.

Clear inner silo for approach.

"Clear inner silo."

Everybody outta here!

Let's go, let's go.

It's guiding itself.

Can you believe that?

The beam has locked itself

onto a point somewhere...

...in the Kaliam galaxy.

It has mass. It could be a moon

or a large asteroid.

Where are we on that map?

The blue dot.

That's right, Jackson.

It's on the other side

of the known universe.

We're losing the signal.

This is the information

the probe sent back to us.

Freeze and enhance.

You can clearly see the gate

on the other side.

Both gates must have functioned

as a doorway between our worlds.

These readings tell us

it's an atmospheric match.

Barometric pressure, temperature...

...and, most importantly, oxygen.

These markings are different.

They don't match the symbols

on our gate.

That's why we may have to abort.

This project is for naught

without a reconnaissance mission.

Once on the other side...

...we'd have to decipher

the markings on their gate...

...and, in essence, dial home...

...in order to bring the team back.

Based on this new information,

I don't see how we can do that.

Well, I could do that.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Your call.

You're on the team.

You're understand, this complicated thinks.

That's why I want you, Jack.

We've open the doorway to world, we've know nothing about.

Jackson...

Hello. Hi.

I have something for you.

No, I...

Yes.

I found it with Stargate

when I was a child.

It has brought me luck.

You can bring it back to me.

Back-up storage.

Reserve power on.

All right, we're secure.

Let's clear this area.

Surveillance and monitoring

equipment, reserve power...

...and on.

If anybody has anything to say,

now's the time to say it.

"Vector tracking set."

Molecular deconstruction

in progress.

Jackson, it's all right.

It's over. Stay with him.

Jackson, listen to me. Keep moving.

It wears off in a minute.

What a rush!

Prepare to move out.

Three teams. Let's go.

"White team, go."

Brown, Freeman, bring up the rear!

"Team two, move up."

Clear. No contact.

Freeze. Hold for sounds.

"One-two ratio stable."

Conditions are similar to inside.

I wanna take a look around.

Kawalsky. Feretti.

"Move up there."

I knew it.

"Point three, three, two."

Report.

Our quarter-mile perimeter survey

is just about complete, sir.

Wrap this up and

get everybody back inside.

I want you all back through

the Stargate within the hour.

You're coming with us,

aren't you, Colonel?

- Sir?

- Jackson!

Start working on the Stargate.

- What's that all about?

- I don't know, Feretti.

I'm gonna need more time.

There's bound to be

more structures here.

Or some other traces

of civilisation.

Not this trip. Just get back

in there and re-establish contact.

It's not so easy. This is a replica

of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

We won't find any hieroglyphic

inscriptions or carved relief.

I mean,

we really need to look around more.

Your job is to realign the Stargate.

Can you do that or not?

I can't.

You can't or you won't?

I can decipher the symbols

on the Stargate...

...but I need an order of alignment.

Those co-ordinates were

on tablets back on Earth.

There must be something

like that here and I just...

I just need to find it.

Find it?

What do you mean, find it?

You didn't say anything

about finding anything.

Well, I assumed the tablets

would be here.

You assumed?

You're a lyin' son of a b*tch!

You didn't say a word

about finding anything!

Kawalsky.

Set up a camp down here.

Organise our supplies.

Sir...

You've got your orders.

This is hot.

You know, I can't believe

we're stuck here.

Don't be such a doomsayer, Feretti.

- Yeah, give it a rest.

- Yes, please.

If we're not back soon...

...they'll turn on the gate

from the other side.

Oh, no. It doesn't work that way.

If you don't turn it on from here,

we're screwed. Okay?

So I'm tellin' you guys,

we're not goin' anywhere.

Shut up.

This is a nice tent.

Oh, we each get a tent.

That's nice.

What the hell is that?

I got everything here but sun block.

Hey!

- Hi.

- Hey.

Isn't there something

you should be doing?

Like gettin' us outta here?!

Foot powder. Great (!)

Base camp is up, sir.

Where's Jackson?

It's okay. It's okay.

Shh, shh, shh...

That's a good boy.

Good boy.

It's okay.

Good boy.

What?

What do you want?

You want some of this?

Here you go. You like that?

I wouldn't feed that thing!

It's got a harness!

It's domesticated!

- Damn it!

- Let go of it!

Do something!

Help me!

You okay, Jackson?

Kawalsky.

You dropped these.

Brown.

Get away from me.

Easy...

All right, Jackson.

You're on.

Me?

You're the linguist.

Try to talk to 'em.

Hi.

What the hell did you say to him?

Nothing.

Hey...

Hm?

It's okay.

It's okay. See?

"Quartz primary element."

I can't make it out. It sounds

familiar. A bit like Berber.

Or maybe it's Chadic or Omotic.

Thank you.

Mmmm!

Bonni...

Bonniwae!

Bonniwae?

Bonniwae!

Bonniwae. Bonniwae.

What's that mean?

I have no idea.

He's inviting us to go with him.

How can you be so sure?

Because he's inviting us

to go with him.

We were looking

for signs of civilisation.

Obviously, we've found it.

You want me to get us back home,

this is our best shot.

Colonel, he's right.

I took some readings

on what they're mining.

This is the same material

as the Stargate.

Radio base camp.

Tell them to keep that area secured

until we get back.

Yes, sir.

The eye of Ra.

It's the Egyptian sun god.

They think he sent us here.

Yeah. Wonder what could've

given 'em that idea.

Ra.

Ra?

Where are they all going?

Come in. Come in.

Feretti, I can't hear you.

Sir, I can't make this out.

Feretti, say again.

We have to abandon base camp!

Repeat,

we have to abandon base camp!

It's useless!

It won't work in this!

Freeman, let's go! Let's go!

Everybody back inside!

Come on!

Take batteries!

We're gonna back, right now.

Wait!

Stay here!

What is it colonel?

Sand storm, coming this way!

And what about,

excellent reason to shoot everyone.

We'll stay it's over.

Sorry.

The pyramid! Back to the pyramid!

Where the hell did that come from?

Kawalsky, Brown, do you read?

Hey, Jackson. I don't think

we should eat any food here.

I don't know.

They might consider that an insult.

Well, we don't want to offend them
