"No?" Hammond eyed him.

Categories: gen
Excerpt: The first planet they try is covered by desert. The gate is housed in a small pyramid structure - smaller than any Teal’c has encountered before - surrounded by sand dunes as far as the eye can see. It reminds him of Abydos, and the deep pain of those memories momentarily wells up through the cold weight of worry he carries for Colonel O’Neill and Captain Carter. There is no sign of either of them, no hint that they or anyone else has been on the planet in many years. SG-3 completes a circuit of the pyramid and the dune it is on, just in case, before they file back through the gate.

Era: Seasons 1 - 4
Categories: Off-Screen Missions, Gen, Episode Tag
Author's notes: Spoilers for Tin Man and Double Jeopardy. Canonical character deaths.
Excerpt: At least some things never change, Jack thinks as SG-1 are thrown into the village jail on the first planet they visit after the team all agrees they’re not going to be good little copies and bury the gate on Altair. No one was enthused about spending 11,000 years in a decaying underground factory, comtrya constantly echoing in their ears, when the whole universe was at their fingertips.

Author's notes: Notes: Many thanks to Fignewton for organizing this Alphabet Soup challenge and for her quick and insightful beta. This story attempts to show what happened to SG-10’s mission to P3W-451 (s2e15, A Matter of Time) while correcting the scientific errors made by the writers of the show. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I've made some errors of my own, as I'm no astrophysicist either.

Excerpt: Sam emerged from the Gate and immediately regretted forgetting to pack her sunglasses. PY4-893 was even brighter and sunnier in person than it had appeared in MALP footage. The small moon offered the interstellar traveler stable weather, plenty of open space, and a complete lack of habitation. Perfect for the first test of Merlin's device.

Word count: 1200
Characters: Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson, Teal'c
Era: Season 8; missing scene for 8.4 "Zero Hour"
Categories: Sam POV, gen
Excerpt: "Really?" Sam groaned as she came around the last curve of the current hallway to see yet another familiar intersection looming up ahead. The stark sandstone walls common throughout this particular abandoned Goa'uld base were virtually indistinguishable from one another-- but the big, visible X-shaped markings drawn at head-height on two of the other three corridors' walls were not.
Just like the last intersection they'd been through, and the one before that. She sighed, lowering her P-90 to take the grease pencil back out of its pocket in her vest, and marked their current route with yet another heavy X and a sequential number. They were up to twenty-three already, and the far corridor would make twenty-four; she wasn't sure she wanted to know how high that number was going to reach before they found the exit.

Excerpt: "Really?" Sam groaned as she came around the last curve of the current hallway to see yet another familiar intersection looming up ahead. The stark sandstone walls common throughout this particular abandoned Goa'uld base were virtually indistinguishable from one another-- but the big, visible X-shaped markings drawn at head-height on two of the other three corridors' walls were not.
Just like the last intersection they'd been through, and the one before that. She sighed, lowering her P-90 to take the grease pencil back out of its pocket in her vest, and marked their current route with yet another heavy X and a sequential number. They were up to twenty-three already, and the far corridor would make twenty-four; she wasn't sure she wanted to know how high that number was going to reach before they found the exit.

Excerpt: So that's where he'd parked, cross-legged on the floor leaning back against the wall, facing the light fountain, armed with a radio and a foil packet of nausea-inducing electrolyte and glucose-laden syrup Dr. Fraiser had sent over especially for him. And that's where he was, the packet at his lips, reluctantly sipping orange glop, when without warning the lights went out.
