Grogan: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:27, 27 July 2023

A young soldier admitted into Stargate Command training simulations alongside cadets Elliot, Hailey, and Satterfield. Grogan had an almost pathologic tendency to get in the way of enemy fire, continually being shot and writing himself out of simulations early on. Despite this obvious problem, he and the rest of his team succeeded at their goal of retaking Stargate Command, learning soon after that the entire event was a training examination.

Grogan was on stand-by, awaiting a slot to open at the S.G.C., eventually earning himself the position of Sergeant on SG-9, under the command of Major Benton). The team traveled to the planet Latona to reopen negotiations with Marul and the rest of the inhabitants. He and the team spent substantial time on the world prior to the arrival of the Goa'uld Svarog and a battalion of Jaffa troops. The rest of SG-9 was eliminated while Grogan managed to conceal himself under foliage, eventually giving aid to SG-1 when the team arrived.

Note: Grogan identifies himself as a Sergeant, though O'Neill later addresses him as a Lieutenant. Based on this it is likely that, unlike his fellow former cadets, he is not a graduate of the Air Force Academy.

-Grogan was on stand-by, awaiting a slot to open at the S.G.C., eventually earning himself the position of Lieutenant to [[SG-9]] (commanded by [[Benton|Major Benton]]) within several weeks.

He and the team spent substantial time on the world prior to the arrival of the [[Goa'uld]] [[Svarog]] and a battalion of [[Jaffa]] troops. The rest of SG-9 was eliminated while Grogan managed to conceal himself under foliage, falling unconscious.

-The next morning Grogan was awakened by [[SG-1]], instructed to make use of his knowledge of the region to aid [[Jack O'Neill|Colonel Jack O'Neill]] in reaching Marul. He led the Colonel into the capital building via a "back door" through the city, and later successfully played on Marul's ego to encourage the leader to listen to reason. Grogan also vouched for O'Neill when Marul believed that Jack might be another liar from the [[Tau'ri]].
