STARGATE SG-1

"Interests"

Written By: Christopher Edmund

Previously on: STARGATE SG-1

(From episode "The scourge")

INT: Gama site Cafeteria

Shen

In the three years since our nations signed the Gate Alliance treaty your government has made great strides in the field of military technology but left us out in the cold

Jackson

I hate to say it but as long as the US government runs the show that's the way it's going to be

Shen

Maybe that should change

(From episode: "Crusade")

INT: SGC Briefing room

Chekov

Well, as you know the treaty renewal comes up in two weeks, Russia will no longer be participating under the current structure

Landry

What are you saying?

Chekov

I am saying - we are taking our Stargate back

INT: Gate Room

General Landry stands looking up at the Stargate

Colonel Chekov enters the gate room and walks over to him

Chekov

General you wish to see me?

Landry

From the sound of it the ori are planning an invasion of massive proportions in the very near future looks like it may be a vary bad time to be arguing over who gets to use the Stargate colonel but I assume you were counting on that

Chekov

No sane individual country wants to face war at any time

Landry

Telling me about your governments intentions was more than mere courtesy doing it with a Chinese representative of the oversight committee present was meant to point out china's involvement that wasn't in the official notification to terminate the treaty given to the president

Chekov

Ovesly, it couldn't be

Landry (sighs) he's fed up with this

Landry

They offered you a deal to back your own S.G.C programme in truth you don't really know if you like that scenario any batter than the one currently in practise

You did however see the opportunity to use it as leverage....

He looks at Chekov, accusingly, the Russian looks away

Landry

But you couldn't very well present a wish list along with the official notification without it looking like blackmail or have it on the record that you were merely using the Chinese so you left it to me to figer out and as you the question: what is it you really want colonel?

INT: Hallway (just beyond the briefing room)

Jackson and Landry are in an elevator, the doors open

Jackson

So what exactly did we have to give up in the end?

Landry

A 304

Jackson

Really? I'm suppressed the president agreed to that

Landry, they leave the elevator

Landry

Colonel Chekov has had his eye on one for a while the latest was just about to roil out

Jackson

I thought the next Deadalus class ship was due our until next year

Landry

It was a Hugh concession but we didn't have much choice

And now the continuation

EXT: SGC

INT: Landry's office

Landry is sitting behind his desk; Thor is sitting in a chair Mitchell walks in

Landry

Colonel Mitchell I it take you know about Phoenix?

Mitchell

Yes sir she's just completed

Landry

Since you and SG-1 have the most experience fighting the Ori, your test driving

Thor and Mitchell beam out

EXT: Earth orbit

A band new BC-304 orbits the planet, with an Asgard ship in orbit along side

INT: 304 bridges

Thor, along with SG-1 (with Vala) the ship's crew are at their stations accept for the three main bridge positions

Vala (looking to Mitchell)

This is?

Mitchell

The Star Ship Phoenix the newest 304 built and it has power

firepower, shield power and better engines than the other 304's

Carter

It's virtually a 304 with the specs of a 305

Mitchell

I though the 305 was still in a design phase?

Carter

It is but that was just an analogy

Vala

305?

Carter

Yes it's going to be a little larger than a Ha'tack; there is more armour, weapon launchers and fight

F-302 bays

Vala

When will it be ready?

Carter

A year to a year and a half we don't know really

Vala

You said this ship is more powerful than the other 304 vessels, how so Colonel?

Carter

The rail guns are Mark 3, the ship uses Mark 8 Nuke warheads and missiles she also has a confinement of 4 Mark 9 warheads

Vala

Gate busters?

Carter

Yes

Vala

You think a Gate buster can penetrate Ori mother ships' shields?

Carter

It may be able to breach the shields or at the least weaken them; the ship also has double the rail gunfire power and the same with the nukes

Vala

It has about as much firepower as a Ha'tack; how good is it in combat?

Carter

That's why we are here, were taking her out on a shake down cruise

Thor

Have fun were here to "hold down the fort" as you guys would say

Vala

Why doesn't the earth ships have Asgard weapons?

Thor

That is one of the reasons I have arrived the IOA wishes to discuss

that matter in hindsight of the earths ships effectiveness in combat

against the Ori

Vala

And the Wrath

Thor

Earth ships can fight very effectively fight Wrath star ships, if I

am not mistaken earth has destroyed 9 hive ships, one scout ship and

instigated the destruction of 2 other hive ships and started a civil

war with in the wrath and not only this, you have in earth terms you

have "dewrathed" an entire have ship I do not think that earth ships

are so "ineffective" against the wrath, if you will excuse me

General Landry is expecting me

Thor beams out

Mitchell

Daniel take the helm Teal'c your on weapons, Sam you have

engineering. Vala I need you on the sensors

The team move to their positions, and Mitchell takes his perch on

the captain's chair, he hits the comm. Unit on the control arm

Mitchell

Phoenix to Vandenberg, permission to depart the system?

Vandenberg officer

Granted good luck Vadenburge out

Mitchell

Thank you, Daniel set course for the P2R-871 and engage hyper drive

The Phoenix moves out of orbit and away form Thor's ship after which

it enters hyperspace, a few hours later the ship emerges form

hyperspace

EXT: Hyperspace

The ship sails through the hyperspace window

INT: Mess hall

Vala sits looking out of the window and Daniel comes in and sits down

Vala

Daniel?

Jackson

I need to talk to you

Vala

About?

Jackson

A lot of thing really but about Adira

Vala

What about her?

Jackson

In many ways you are going through what I had to

Vala

Excuse me?

Jackson

I never told you why I first joined the SGC did I?

Vala

No

Jackson

12 years ago is when earth first opened the Gate and we killed RA, I fell for a person called Shar're my wife

Vala

Your married?

Jackson

Not anymore, 2 years later Aphopis attacked the SGC and Abydos so they could capture potential hosts and Shar're was captured and became a host to Amonet Aphopis' queen

Vala

I'm sorry

Jackson

You probably know that she was killed three years later

Vala

No I didn't know that, I was not a host then

Jackson

Teal'c killed her

Vala

Teal'c?

Jackson

I was in a ribbon device grip, she spoke to me through the ribbon device Amonet tried to kill me, and I got a chance to say good by before Teal'c killed her

Vala

I'm sorry

Jackson

What I am attempting to say is if you need to talk about your daughter you can speak to me

Vala

Thank You

INT: Bridge

Jackson

Mitchell, I'm getting a distress call

Mitchell

Who is it from?

Jackson

It's from a Chinese Military base!

Mitchell

What?

Jackson

It's Chinese

Mitchell

What's going on?

Jackson

They're under attack by three Lucian Alliance mother ships

Mitchell

Set a course engage hyper drive, Battle stations!

Teal'c prepare to unload on those mother ships the second we exit hyperspace

Teal'c

Understood

Mitchell

What's our ETA?

Jackson

11 minutes

Mitchell

Sam, can you boost power to the hyper drive?

Carter

Yes, diverting to FTL drive

Mitchell (he presses the internship communications)

All F-302 pilots report to your fighters stand by for launch

EXT: Hyperspace

The Phoenix plummets through hyperspace

INT: Bridge

Vala

I didn't know that other nations of earth has off world bases

Mitchell

They don't god knows how they got out here

Jackson

Emergence from hyperspace

Teal'c

3 mother ships orbit the planet

Mitchell

Deploy 302's, Teal'c open fire all rail guns, stand by missiles

EXT: Space

The Phoenix unleashes its firepower on the lead mother ship, 12 F- 302's launch and engage the lead ship with cover fire form the Phoenix

INT: Bridge

Teal'c

I suggest we deploy missiles

Mitchell

Target the hyper drive with 3 missiles all mark 8's

Vala any sign of Lucian reinforcements?

Vala

No

EXT: Space

The ship moves closer to the Lead ship and fire

three missiles form

her forward launchers they stream away form the

ship, the F-302's

race away form the ship to avoid the detonation of

the missiles, the

missiles hit the forward shields and one gets

through causing some

large amounts of structural damage causing a small

explosion

After seeming the explosion the Phoenix starts to

pummel the mother ship with rail gunfire and

destroys it, with several more hits form Mark 8

missiles the ship is destroyed

INT: Bridge

Vala

One ship destroyed, were taking hits on the

starboard shields

Mitchell

Route auxiliary power to those shields retarget to

another mother ship and open fire

Hail them!

Jackson

Channel open

Mitchell

This is Colonel Cameron Mitchell commander of the

Star ship Phoenix stand down and prepare to be

boarded

Vala

There taking heavy damage;

There opening hyperspace windows

Mitchell

Keep firing until they have entered hyperspace

We are not going to allow them to assault an earth

facility and get away with it, lock and Fire!

EXT: Space

Phoenix continues to fire on the mother ships one of

them takes heavy damage before getting into the

hyperspace

INT: Bridge

Mitchell (on intercom)

All hands stand down from battle stations, damage

control get to work!

Daniel hail the Chinese outpost

Daniel

Opening Channel

Mitchell

Chinese outpost this is Colonel Cameron Mitchell

commander of the Earth Star Ship Phoenix please

respond!

The outpost does not respond

Mitchell

Outpost Commander, respond!

Daniel

No response again

Mitchell

Close communications

Daniel

Closed

Mitchell

Sam, can we beam down?

Carter

Yes

Mitchell

Carter you have the bridge look out for more Lucian

ships,

Teal'c, Jackson and Vala suite up were going down,

oh, Sam inform General Landry I'm sure the IOA won't

be happy about this

INT: Phoenix Armoury

Mitchell's team suites up with weapons and Kevlar vests

Mitchell

What kind of response will we get down there

Jackson?

Jackson

To be honest I don't know they have breached the

regulations under the Gate Alliance treaty

Vala

How'd they get to this planet did they go through

the gate?

Jackson

No, I don't know

Mitchell

Koralev?

Jackson

Excuse me?

Mitchell

The Russians got the third 304 because they

blackmailed our government

Jackson

They also did it with the Chinese ambassador to the IOA was there

Mitchell

And General Landry deduced that the Russians were

blackmailing us and just using the Chinese to get a

star ship

Vala

What if they weren't using the Chinese

Jackson

There is a possibility, they blackmailed us to get

the ship and assist the Chinese to establish this

base

And the Chinese ambassador Shen Xiaoyi did complain

about the fact that the Chinese were left out in the

cold when it comes to military technology

Mitchell

They betrayed us!

Jackson

The IOA is not going to be happy

Mitchell

No is Landry

Vala

I'm ready to go

Jackson

Have you been trained with those P90's?

Vala

No but I've read up on them it seams easy enough and

I have used Zat guns before

Jackson

Just watch were you point that thing

Vala

I don't have the urge to kill you, yet

Jackson

Excuse me?

Mitchell (using his radio)

Mitchell to bridge

Carter

Go ahead Cameron

Mitchell

Beams us to the front door

Carter

Transport beam targeted ready to transport

Mitchell

Energise!

EXT: Space

The Phoenix orbits the Chinese controlled planet

INT: SG-1 beams down to a small cargo area out side

the base

Vala

Who wants to ring the doorbell?

Mitchell

Does this cargo door even have a bell?

Jackson walks up to the cargo doors side entrance

and knocks a no one answers

Vala

Do you think they'd answer if there violating

treaties

Mitchell

Good point, how do we open the door with out C4?

Vala

A Zat

Jackson

What set on "lock pick" mode?

Vala

It'll work

More than a little sceptical Jackson brings out his

Zat gun and fires it in the direction of the

doorknob, the door opens slightly

Vala (contd)

Told you it would work hum!

SG-1 picks up their p90's and carefully walks into

the base

INT: Base cargo hold

There are several F-302's under construction; they

walk over to a computer station with schematics on

it

Mitchell

Jackson?

Jackson

There schematics for a modified version of the

Deadalus class

Vala

The same plans as the Phoenix?

Jackson

No, there modified plans of the Phoenix it seams

that there working on a ship larger and better than

the Phoenix

Vala

But still based upon the same hull design?

Jackson

Looks like it, if this ship was begin built it would

be as powerful as three phoenix class

Vala

And with the dimensions of three combined ships?

Jackson

Yes

Mitchell

Scroll down see what ales they have

Jackson Ok, those are schematics for Asgard shield

generators, hyper drives

Vala

Daniel can you bring up that diagram?

Jackson

Sure

Mitchell

Weapons?

Jackson

No

Vala

Yes, those are the designs for, Ha'tack energy

canons

Mitchell

There only source of information is form the SGC

Jackson

For Earth yes but how they got the cannon schematics

I don't know

Vala

The Lucian Alliance was attacking, the base they

could have stolen the schematics

Mitchell

Probably and they won't steal form the Jaffa nation

that'd just make us another enemy can we may not be

able to fight the Ori

Vala

How long have they been out of contact with earth?

Jackson

If, the Koralev brought them here then it must be

four months

Vala

Four months with out any information form earth

Mitchell

Unless there are getting information

Jackson

I doubt they'd contact earth and expose them self's

Mitchell

Unless they don't need to expose them self's to get

information

Jackson

How?

Mitchell

All they'd need is a Gate and a DHD and they would

be able to contact the base

Jackson

You think the Russians are running an SGC?

Mitchell

Maybe not the Russians it could be a Chinese

Jackson

This information looks fairly up to date

Vala

Since the Phoenix is just new it would have to be

Mitchell

To bad we can't take a photo of a Chinese officer

Shen (blurting out from the darkness)

Would I do?

Everyone turns around with his or her weapons

pointing at her, several Chinese officers step out

form all sides with weapons

Shen

Surrender your weapons, now!

Vala

Mitchell?

Mitchell

Do it!

EXT: Space

Phoenix orbits the planet

INT: Bridge

Carter

We haven't heard us anything from Mitchell since his

beam down

Landry

Understood, the Deadalus is back here on another

supply mission for Atlantis were having a few

problems, I'm sending Deadalus and Odyssey to assist

you, Colonel attempt to contact the base and

Mitchell when Odyssey and Deadalus arrive contact me

again

Carter

What's the IOA doing?

Landry

Arguing!

Carter

What's the president's point of view?

Landry

All treaties with Russia and China is off

Carter

Germany, France and Great Brittan's position sir?

Landry

They aren't happy about begin "left out" and there

could be problems for the Russians and Chinese, and

the Gate Alliance treaty states that all information

about the gate or anything to do with the gate MUST

at all times be shared, now that they have broken

the gate alliance treaty there is going some heavy

back lash

Carter

What's our tactical position?

Landry

If they should open fire on you take out there base

defences only and inform me

But do not fire first!

Carter

Yes sir

Landry

As for the rest of SG-1 wait until the Deadalus and

Odyssey gets there but draw up a covert rescue plan

Carter

Yes sir

Landry

Landry out

EXT: SGC -day--

INT: Landry office

Someone knocks the door

Landry

Come in

The door opens and mister Woolsey walks in

Woolsey

General?

Landry

Mister Woolsey?

How can I help?

Woolsey

General, the Chinese demanded that the Phoenix leave

orbit of their base and that you recall Deadalus and

Odyssey

Landry

Not a chance in Hell, and I have dispatched the

Deadalus and Odyssey to the Chinese base to support

Phoenix

Woolsey

The Chinese won't like that

Landry

They don't got a leg to stand on and since all three

ships are under direct American control there's

noting they can do

Woolsey

They could take a pot shot or two at the Phoenix

Landry

That's stupid and the Phoenix has orders to fire on

the base if attacked, what are the Russians saying?

Woolsey

They deny any involvement in this strictly Chinese-

only mission

Landry

How stupid to they think we are?

Woolsey

I don't know, there is no second gate on earth,

commander Thor has had his ship scan the planet the

only place with enough Naqahdah for a Stargate to be

present is located in the SGC, the only other traces

are undergoing experimentation

Landry

So they would have to have used the Koralev

Woolsey

Indeed General

Landry

Any new information?

Woolsey

For the time begin the IOA in on "Hiatus"

Landry

Will the show be renewed in the fall?

Woolsey

Funny

Landry

So Sci-fi channel is still debating it?

Woolsey

What?

Landry

I'm joking mister Woolsey

Woolsey

I know, I'll inform you if the series is renewed!

Woolsey walks out of the office with a smirk on his

face and Landry sits back in his armchair with an

expression that says, "You got me"

EXT: Planet

The Phoenix orbits the planet

INT: Shens' office

Daniel is escorted in to the office by a Chinese

army solider

Shen

Doctor Jackson

Daniel a little bitter responds to her greeting

Jackson Ms. Shen

Shen

I am sure you have questions

Jackson

Of course I do Ms Shen

Shen

What are they?

Jackson

Well, a question is why?

Shen

Sergeant, Dismissed

The Sergeant walks out of the office and he closes the door behind him

Shen

Like I said to you in the Gama site mess hall, US

government has kept all signatories to the gate

alliance treaty at arms length when it comes to

military technology

Jackson

And as I said that's the way the things are going to

be, it true that it is wrong for the US government

keeps the technology form you but there are reasons

for them too

Shen

Like what?

Jackson

Like you could use the technology against people on

our planet and the US government is not prepared to

allow that to happen and for that reason the Thollan

never gave us our technology

Shen

The Thollan are, were pacifists

Jackson

No, Ms. Shen they weren't they feared that we'd use

it against our own people

Shen

Do you really think that we would use off world technology against our own people?

Jackson

I don't know if you will but there's always a chance

that could happen

Shen

If you believed the Chinese government would use the

technology against our own, why didn't your

government hold the Russians off, why did they give

them a BC-304 star ship they could've wiped out the

planet from orbit

Jackson

I know that no government of the gate alliance

treaty would do that

Shen

No doctor, the reason you gave him or her a 304 is

cause they were going to take the Stargate back

Jackson

Oh, please we both know that, that was never going

to happened, China and Russia blackmailed the US

government into getting a 304 so you could set up

this side operation nothing more

Shen

Sergeant!

The sergeant comes back in to the office

Shen (contd.)

Escort Doctor Jackson back to the brig

Sergeant

Yes Ma'am

EXT: SGC

INT: Hallway

General Landry walks down a hall; he is met by

Sergeant Hereman who hands, him a memo

Landry looks at the memo its from Mister Woolsey

Landry

Can Mister Woolsey confirm this?

Harriman

Yes sir he said it was came from the horses' mouth

sir and the joint chiefs wish to speak with you

General Landry walks up to a nearby intercom panel

he activates it

Landry (on loud speaker)

This is Major General Hank Landry authorisation code Alpha Tango four; is base is under the protocols of DefCon 3

The bases' alarms sound off

EXT: Chinese planet

INT: The bases brig area

Ms. Shen and several armed guards walks into the

brig room she looks very stern and serious

Shen

Doctor Daniel Jackson, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron

Mitchell, Teal'c and Vala Mal Duran you are here by

formally charged with espionage and will be held

until trail can be convened

Jackson

Excuse me, formally charged with espionage?

Shen

Yes, you riffled through our mainframe computer

core, since the Gate Alliance treaty is on hiatus

you have been formally charged

Mitchell

I wouldn't do that no with a warship that's in a

position to cripple all your defences

Shen

If the American government harbours any hope of your

return they won't do anything

Jackson

Can I speak to you?

Shen Yes, Sergeant escort doctor Jackson to my office

EXT: Chinese planet

INT: Phoenix Bridge

Lieutenant Bradford

Colonel Carter sensors detect that the bases

defences are targeting the ship

Carter

Battle stations! Open a channel

Bradford Open Colonel

Carter

This is the star ship Phoenix stands down or we will

fire on you!

EXT: Chinese Planet

A huge amount of rail gunfire and ballistic missiles

are launched form the surface

Carter (V.O)

Take us out of orbit, target their weapons posts and fire rail guns

The Phoenix leaves orbit and rains fire down on the

base, on the planets surface several of the rail gun

positions are wiped out by weapons from the Phoenix

weapons fire, several ballistic missiles are

detonated just after leaving the launch tubes, a few

seconds later the weapons fire heads for the base

and it is stopped by Asgard Shield Generators

Carter (V.O)

Lock on to the base and fire 3 Mark 8 warheads

T he ship comes closer to the planets atmosphere and

launches 3 missiles, the Mark 8 missiles stream

through the atmosphere and hit there target but the

Asgard shield stops them, after the smoke form the

Mark 8's detonation the bases' the rail gun towers

and missile tubes are turned to dust a few minutes

later F-302 fleet (20 fighters) launch form the base

and head for the Phoenix, they come out of the

atmosphere from their perspective the Phoenix is a

monster as large a giant this does not deter them

from attacking with the rail guns and AIM-121-A

missiles, as they attack the forward "nose" and pull

up to avoid slamming into the shields several of the

F-302's are destroyed by rail gun shots

INT: Bridge

Bradford

Sir we can't get a weapons lock on the remaining

fighters

Carter

Ok, helm set course one-eight-zero mark three-one

half power to sub-light engines engage on my

command, Lieutenant Bradford, prepare a Mark 8

warhead and set it to proximity detonation, the

explosion will take out the fighters

Helmsman

Course set Colonel

Bradford

Mark 8 warhead set to proximity detonation with a

time delay of point five seconds

Carter

Engage, Mister Bradford launches the missile

EXT: Space

The Phoenix files away and launches the missile; it

speeds its way to the fighters when in range the

weapon detonates catching most of the remaining

302's in its blast radius

INT: Bridge

Bradford

Nice tactic Colonel, there are a few left

Carter

Rail guns mister Bradford fire on target

The five remain F-302's are pelted with Rail gun

fire and destroyed

Carter (Contd.)

Take us into orbit, hail the base

Bradford

No response

Carter

Open a channel to the SGC

Bradford

Yes Ma'am

EXT: SGC --Day--

INT: Gate Room

Harriman

Sir, I have Colonel Carter on the Phoenix

Landry

Patch it through

Colonel Carter appears on a monitor

Landry

Colonel?

Carter Sir, the Chinese base has opened fire on the Phoenix

we disabled the bases defence weapons and all of her F-302's

Landry

Understood, we just got a message form Richard

Woolsey abut 6 minutes ago

Carter

What's the message?

Landry

SG-1 apart form you have been formally charged with

espionage

Carter

Sir?

Landry

Once the Deadalus and Odyssey get to you, Odyssey

will proved a team of 5 marines each you will lead

them and 5 from Phoenix; to the planets surface and

there you will enter the base and retrieve

SG-1

Carter

What about the palatal fall out from such an action?

Landry

The presidents' precise words are "screw the palatal

side of things get out people out"

Carter

Zats' only?

Landry

Kill as a last resort Colonel

Carter

Yes, sir

Landry

SGC out, Sergeant Hereman place the base under

DefCon 2

EXT: Chinese base

INT: Shens' office

Doctor Jackson walks in escorted by two armed guards

Shen

Dismissed

Guard

Ma'am this person is under arrest for espionage

Shen

You herd me Lieutenant

Guard

Yes Ma'am

Jackson

What do you want this time?

Shen

My government has an offer for you; SG-1 will be

released if you agree to join a team that operates

out

Of this base, like you said you would do as long as

the president remains exploration and defending

earth

Jackson

Yes I did but I will not betray the SGC and you

trying to use technology that we have developed as a

result of off-world travel to attack an Earth ship

especially with one of my friends on it doesn't add

a gold star into China's score card and stealing

technology form off world sources is just presenting

a hint of cowardice with a hint of stupidity

especially from people that can bite you back

Shen

We need that advanced technology to defend earth

Jackson

No we don't, I admit it would be helpful but if we

wanted to advanced technology stolen form our allies

and enemies we wouldn't have stopped the NID side

operation because we need them if it wasn't for the

Asgard bringing us into the protected planets

treaty, the Goa'uld would've wiped us out, and lets

not forget if it wasn't for the Asgard we wouldn't

have ships with shields, transporters and hyper

drives for our ships and stealing form them is wrong

and I won't be associated with any one or anything

that steals from our allies so no thank you

Shen

Ok, and I assume you know that anyone charged and

convicted of espionage faces one punishment

Jackson

Death

Shen

Yes, I'll do what I can to convince my government to

release you in the sprit of international co-

operation, I can't promise you anything Doctor but

I'll try

Jackson

Why?

Shen

Does there have to be a reason?

Jackson

With the state of affairs these days there must me

something

Shen

For one thing it won't be good place to start in any

future relations with America, achieving military

technology exchange would be impossible

Jackson

So it's all about saving China and of course if you

released us it may go some way to minimise the

scansions on china by the IOA and nothing more

Shen

And I would have lost a friend

Jackson

Ok, I'll return my cell

Shen

I'll have you and SG-1 placed in guest quarters

Jackson

Thank You

EXT: Planet orbit

Bradford

Sir incoming message from Colonel Caldwell and

Colonel Emerson

Carter

Patch it through and merge transmission

Emerson

Colonel Carter what's your status

Carter

They base has attacked us we took out their weapons

and their F-302 fighters

Emerson

Has the base tried to communicate with you yet?

Carter

No sir

Emerson

Colonel Carter what is your plan?

Carter

Sneak in, Zat anyone that gets in our way and

extract SG-1

Emerson

How do you plan to get onto the planet with them

knowing about it?

Carter

That's a wrinkle in the plan

Caldwell

If I may interject

Carter

Yes sir?

Caldwell

When Deadalus has to deploy for covert

reconnaissance missions we usually deploy Atlantis'

8th puddle jumper you could launch form Deadalus in

the cloaked Puddle Jumper

Carter

That solves the problem we'll use the jumper but

Colonel well need a pilot with the ATA gene

Caldwell

No worries

Bradford

Incoming Transmission form the Chinese base

Carter

Lets hear it

Shen

This is Ambassador Shen to the Earth star ships in

orbit, if you try to rescue SG-1 they will be

executed under the charge of Espionage; it will be

considered an act of war end of message

Caldwell

Perfect what do we do?

Carter

I'll consult with General Landry

EXT: SGC --Day--

INT: Control room

Landry

Go ahead Colonel

Carter

Sir we just got a message form Ambassador Shen she

informed us that if we attempted to rescue SG-1 they

will be evacuated under the charge of Espionage and

it will be considered an act of war!

Landry

I doubt that they are willing to take us on given'

that we have three ships that can destroy china form

orbit, of course we won't use them that way, I'll

consult with the IOA, the president and the joint

chiefs but for now hold your position, if they

evacuate them Colonel your orders are to destroy the

base with a much fire power as necessary

of the Earth star ship Phoenix, what is it you want?

Kotarn

form the Alliance I am under orders to destroy this

base

Carter Commander, this base is involved with an extremely

sensitive matter concerning Earth's Interstellar

matters, we were intending to go down to the base

and investigate this bases' activities if they have

stolen information and technology form the Lucian Alliance they will be returned to you in the

interests for future relations with the Alliance

Kotarn

Unlike most people in the Lucian Alliance, I

actually appreciate what you, SG-1 and Earth have

done to rid the Galaxy of the Goa'uld Empire, but my

superiors won't let your rep involved in there

decision making but to sure that you keep your word

as you have in the past my vessel will remain here

Carter

Carter

INT: Landry's office

Woolsey walks into General Landry's office

Landry

Mister Woolsey what's going on?

Woolsey

The Chinese are not backing down

Landry

The Russians?

Woolsey

Nothing from Moscow

Landry

What's the IOA's position?

Woolsey

There arguing, if they were to come back to the gate

alliance treaty there would be considerable

sanctions and for the Russians

Landry

What do you mean, "If they come back to the gate

alliance treaty"?

Woolsey

They have Wright drawn form there seat, there the

only government that has knowledge of the Stargate

that is not bound by its restrictions

Landry

That means that they are in a position to expose the

Stargate and everything ales

Woolsey

Yes

Landry

Anything more on SG-1?

Woolsey

Unless Colonel Carter has still to inform you off;

there is no news coming form the Chinese embassy,

the IOA wishes to know of any new information form

Colonel Carter

Landry

To prevent SG-1's deaths I have decided to keep that

information classified if you wish to know what it

is you will have to speak with President Hayes

Woolsey

Understood General

Landry

Any news form Great Britten and the other

signatories to the treaty?

Woolsey

Yes, they're backing us up but there insisting that

some potions of the treaty be modified

Landry

Which points?

Woolsey

They believe that the Russians and Chinese have done

what they did cause of the lack of new military technology coming their way

Landry

I though the treaty stated that the US government

must share all technologies procured and developed

as a result of Stargate travel

Woolsey

That exists they mean about the US government having

control of the only fleet of ships in space, and the

lack of off world bases so they can start a star

ship construction program

Landry

We have no way of knowing if they will steal

technology form other people

Woolsey

Like the rouge NID did, if the treaty is amended we

can stipulate that they cannot steal from other

worlds

Sergeant Harriman knocks the door to General

Landry's office

Landry

Yes Walter?

Harriman

Sir we just got a message form the Deadalus it seams

that the Chinese base has been stealing information

and technology form the Lucian Alliance

Landry

So they have been stealing form off-world sources

Woolsey

I will have to update the President and the IOA

committee on this development

Landry

The Chinese have withdrawn form the Gate Alliance

treaty, and it seams that there a little pissed

conserving that we meaning the US government has

control over the fleet of ships in space

Mitchell

Is that all?

Carter

The Russians are staying quite not saying anything

ut it seams that they must have used the Koralev to

get to that world and the President has ordered all

bases to DefCon 2

Jackson

DefCon 2?

Carter

Yes

Teal'c

It is equally possible that the Chinese government

knows that you've freed us

What ever the Chinese government does as a response

it will not bode well for a peaceful revaluation to

this crisis

Carter

Yes
