A long time ago, a race of people known today as either the Ancients or the Ancestors built a ship as part of their interstellar fleet named the Destiny. The purpose of Destiny was to construct and seed a wormhole-generating device known as the Stargate throughout the known universe. For a period of a million light years, Destiny’s long journey took her through thirty-eight different galaxies, planting Stargates and allowing wormhole travel for the people of many different worlds.766Please respect copyright.PENANA4c0UVDDUQa
During her long journey, the builders of Destiny disappeared from existence, and the ship was left abandoned while traveling the expanding universe. Not too long ago, in the year of our lord, twenty hundred and nine, a contingent from a planet known as earth traveled through the Stargate to escape a dangerous enemy accidentally ended up at Destiny. They came a military base known as the Icarus Base, which was destroyed in a surprise attack by a coalition of former smugglers and mercenaries known as the Lucian Alliance. The people of Earth have been at war with the Alliance since twenty hundred and six, and the war has yet to reach an end.
The survivors of the Icarus Base attack were left stranded on the starship Destiny with no possible way to return home. The survivors of the attack are able to communicate with the people of Earth with the assistance of a strange device which look like stones. A famous scientist from earth once described this device as “an Ancient form of communication device that links the users psychically, allowing them to see through each other's eyes.” The stones are used in tandem with another device known as the Long-Range Communication Device.
Colonel Everret Young, the highest ranking military officer onboard Destiny, used the device to communicate with his commanding officer, Lieutenant General Jack O’Niell, and inform him of the current situation onboard Destiny.
“So how is it going out there,” General O’Niell asked Colonel Young, “Really?”
“Well, I don't know what Rush has told you,” Colonel Young replied, “We may not have much time out there. The ship's very old, falling apart.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAMJotJLzRFJ
“Fix it.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAE5QPqmm888
“I'm trying. Even if we can get the life support working, we don't have much food and water.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAJsZsNggPhP
“Well, go get some.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAPUydNk9jD0
“We're not suppose to be there, sir,” Colonel Young explained, “These are the wrong people, in the wrong place. And as a group, they're just not qualified.”766Please respect copyright.PENANATcIUewnIjA
“Oh, please. I wasn't qualified to lead that first team through the Stargate.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUqClyoMC
“I understand that, sir.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAZkksZT0ZcJ
“In the past dozen years or so, we've sent hundreds of teams through that thing. I think the bottom line is, none of us are qualified.”766Please respect copyright.PENANA6MULovzWnz
However, thanks to luck, the survivors managed to live on Destiny for two years while trying to find a way to return to their homeworld. Eventually, the “crew” of Destiny isn’t able to survive forever stranded on a ship faraway from home, so the “crew” entered stasis pods, intending to remain in stasis for a period of three years. They have not been heard from since then.766Please respect copyright.PENANAarGGs6egM3
Dr. Daniel Jackson sips his cup of coffee while he heads towards a meeting in the briefing room inside the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, the location of Stargate Command. The circumstances of the meeting was unknown, but judging by the tone of the message he received from the recently promoted General Evan Lorne, he believed that the meeting was important. He hoped that it wasn't an alien race threatening to destroy the galaxy like the Goa'uld or the villains from science fiction stories. Doctor Jackson was the very man who figured out how the Stargate functioned, and his discovery eventually led to the creation of the Stargate Program. Following an accident with a mysterious device in 2010, Dr. Jackson was aged in reverse to the age of thirty-five and his biological aging has slowed down incredibly.
Doctor Jackson entered the briefing room, where he met the rest of his team, SG-1. His commanding officer, Major Cassandra Frasier, who was recently promoted after Colonel Cameron Mitchell took command of the Alpha Site, was already sitting. A young woman who was born on a different planet, she was discovered by Doctor Jackson and his team when she was a mere child, more than twenty years before. Cassandra, known to her friends as Cassie, was the last survivor of her people, who were wiped out thanks to a bacterial plague, believed to have been created by the Goa’uld System Lord Nirrti. She came to earth where she was adopted by Doctor Janet Frasier, the first chief medical officer of Stargate Command, and a friend of Dr. Jackson.
Standing behind Cassie is the famed Jaffa warrior, Teal’c of Chulak, who originally joined SG-1 in order to fight for the freedom of his people from the oppressive rule of the Goa’uld System Lords. Following the liberation of the Jaffa, Teal’c remained a member of SG-1, having been appointed by the Jaffa High Council as the official liaison between Earth and the Free Jaffa Nation. Teal’c’s distingusing features is the mark of the System Lord Apophis as well as his sideburns and pony-tail.
“Does anyone know why we were called here?” Doctor Jackson asked.
“No,” Teal’c stated bluntly, Cassie also nodded no.
The commander of Stargate Command, General Lorne, enters the briefing room with SG-1. The team sits down after the young general greets them and he hands the members of SG-1 each a folder.
“What’s the situation, sir,” asked Cassie.
“The Alpha Site received a mysterious signal earlier yesterday morning,” General Lorne stated.
“Mysterious,” said Doctor Jackson with a confusing look, baffled as to who would send a mysterious signal.
“Yes, Doc, mysterious,” the General replied.
“Do you know who would send this signal, General Lorne,” Teal’c asked.
“We have no clue, but what we do know that this was sent from a distant galaxy.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAOCR2q4Yj5g
“Which one,” Doctor Jackson asked.766Please respect copyright.PENANAnNKRIOXT8k
“The galaxy where we had lasted contacted the Destiny,” General Lorne replied. Doctor Jackson and Major Frasier exchange glances of shock while Teal’c just raises an eyebrow. Has the Alpha Site found the Destiny, Doctor Jackson thought.
“General, with your permission can we go to the Alpha site to study this signal,” Cassie asked.
“Permission granted,” General Lorne responded, “SG-1, you have a go.”766Please respect copyright.PENANAK5LuzQShaR
