STARGATE SG-1: Two Roads

STARGATE SG-1: Two Roads

The spoils of war <br /> <br />The Goa€uld have been defeated, and the Jaffa are free. In the power vacuum left behind, the dark underbelly of the galaxy is fighting over the spoils. <br /> <br />Among these thieves and rogues is Vala Mal Doran, on the trail of the fabulous treasure left behind by the System Lord Kali. <br /> <br />But Vala is not the only one seeking the hoard. Back at Stargate Command, Dr Daniel Jackson has made a horrifying discovery €" a doomsday device designed to exterminate the Jaffa who have dared to defy their gods. <br /> <br />Kali€s treasure might provide SG-1 with the means to disarm the device, but only if they can steal it back from one of the galaxy€s most ruthless criminals. Of course, it€s entirely possible that Vala Mal Doran will get there first... <br /> <br />TWO ROADS <br />Jack was waiting at the base of the ramp, arms folded casually over his chest, when SG-9 returned. They had radioed ahead to inform him of their findings, and his eyes locked onto Daniel as the Stargate disengaged. Jack raised his eyebrows at Colonel Getty. €œI thought I told you not to let him touch anything.€ <br /> <br />€œMy apologies, sir. I turned my back for one minute, suddenly it€s the end of the world.€ <br /> <br />€œI won€t judge you too harshly. I€ve been on the receiving end of that myself.€ <br /> <br />€œThank you, sir.€ <br /> <br />Jack glared at Daniel. €œFirst mission after defeating the Goa€uld.€ <br /> <br />€œI€m aware.€ <br /> <br />€œA nice leisurely temple to explore, nothing to get excited about except a few dusty carvings.€ <br /> <br />€œI know.€ <br /> <br />Jack thumped the back of his hand against Daniel€s chest. <br /> <br />€œFirst time leaving your office in weeks and you go and find a doomsday weapon.€
