 * TEASER
 * FADE IN
 * INT&mdash;GATE ROOM

Five airmen are sitting on duty around a table at the bottom of the ramp, playing poker.

She gets up from her seat and makes towards the covered item.

''The female airman approaches the tarp and starts up the ramp. It starts shaking suddenly, they hear a rumbling sound, and she backs away down the ramp as it shakes along with the table where the other airmen are seated. The four airmen jump to their feet, hands to their guns.''

The tarp flies from the device and reveals the Stargate spinning and active.

''Airman 2 goes to the red phone on the wall as the other stand ready at the base of the ramp. The Stargate activates&mdash;the kawhoosh expands outwards and, he drops the phone. The others fall to the ground as the event horizon billows out towards them. Airman 1 passes out guns, and they ready them, standing and waiting in front of the Stargate. The female airman starts up the ramp.''

''As she reaches the Stargate, a ball drops through it to her feet, glows, and seems to scan her bodily. It falls still, and she bends down to touch it.''

''She picks it up, looking back to them in confusion. Then a serpent guard steps through the wormhole right on top of her, taking a hold of her round the neck and taking her gun. The other airmen aim their guns.''

More serpent guards come through the Stargate.

''The last figure steps through the Stargate, his armour made of gold. He stands in front of his seven guards and reveals his face&mdash;a human face.''

The guard holding the female airman reveals his face, and Apophis turns to him.

Teal'c studies the female airman's gun, then drops it and passes the woman roughly to Apophis.

Apophis brings his hand up and a device emits a glow that latches on to her face, she becomes calm.

''One of the serpent guards fires with his staff weapon, and a fire fight ensues. Teal'c covers the female airman with his body as the bullets bounce off the Goa'uld armour. Apophis sees one of his guards go down. One of the airmen is hit, and he crashes on the card table.''

He waves them back.

''He is hit by a staff blast and goes down. Airmen 1 continues firing until he too is finally struck. The base alarms have started sounding.''

He looks towards the Stargate.

INT&mdash;BASE CORRIDORS

Airmen are running to the gate room.

The Mountain doors close.

INT&mdash;GATE ROOM

''General Hammond and the airmen stream in and take position. All but Apophis, the female airman and two of his guards are gone. One picks up the scanning device. The airmen cock their guns.''

''Apophis's eyes glow, his helmet goes up, and they retreat through the Stargate. The wormhole dissipates. Hammond starts up the ramp and stays in front of the Stargate, shocked.''
