Has been for my own sake as well as yours. Leda, everything you've done for me, I w. The second things start gettin' a little squirrelly-ĮXT-LEDA'S HOUSE, AND A POND IN FRONT OF IT If we leave now, who knows what could happen? I could help them understand what they're facing, make them see it's not the end of the world. Daniel, we're always stickin' our collective noses where they don't belong. If we hadn't chosen to pay them a little visit. If what you say is true, things are going to get a little out of hand over there. The 'Gate being activated has given them all the need to prove that they were right all along. Now before we made contact with them, these people were considered zealots who took the ancient texts too literally. Now these people think that all life on the planet was created by ancient gods, and that these gods will someday return and reward them for their faith.Īnd, by coming through the Stargate, we confirmed their beliefs.īecause the 'Gate was activated in a public place, the Rand government has been unable to prevent the rumors from spreading. Uh, a group of religious fundamentalists led by a man named Soren. There's actually a third element which has me a little more concerned. Each nation has enough weapons to wipe each other off the face of the planet. The Rand Protectorate and the Caledonian Federation have been locked in a state of cold war for decades. Mainly that we'd tell the Caledonians too much about the Stargate. Apparently Gareth had nation security concerns. My time with their representatives was severely limited by the Rand security forces.
I wish I could give you more, but our medicine is in short supply.Ĭaledonians? Not so well, actually. INT-BEDROOM IN LEDA'S HOUSE, PRESENT TIME However the activation of the Ring may well cause a stir amongst those few who still follow the old ways. Of course, we know these are merely legends from our ancient past. The Great Ring was supposedly the source of their power.

(gesturing toward the people wearing necklaces with ring-shaped pendants) We call it the Stargate, and our people share the same hope, Commander. It is unlike anything we have seen before. Well, believe it or not, there's actually a good reason for us being human.Ĭolonel, I hope that once we gain each other's trust, you'll be able to shed some light on the technology that powers the Great Ring. One of our artifacts suddenly coming to life was a little surprising, but that pales in comparison to its purpose. We've made first contact with a lot of planets, but this is the first time we've found ourselves coming out of a museum piece. But please come we have many questions, as I'm sure you do as well. It is a pleasure to finally meet you all face to face. This is Teal'c, and Doctor Daniel Jackson. In the name of the people of the Rand Protectorate, I welcome you. It's thought that the peculiar symbols on the Ring itself represent the names of the gods, however no one has been able to decipher. And, while its origin remains a subject of debate, many believe it was created by ancient worshippers to honor their gods. Researchers estimate the ring to be at least several thousand years old. You're alive, and considering what you've been through, that alone is a miracle.įirst discovered in the Curillian wastelands over one hundred and fifty years ago, and the highlight of our antiquities collection…the Great Ring of Avidan.
