Why This Must Be Read: One of the lighter aspects of Heroes was the happy discovery that SG-1 does not have a monopoly on teamy goodness. Who didn't love Colonel Dave Dixon and his merry band, other known as SG-13?
Maya treats us in Routine Mission to Dixon and the rest of the team, hiding out from dinosaurs - and utterly unfazed, because hey, this kind of insanity is a perfectly normal part of their lives. Great banter, teaminess, and wacky scientists - what more could you want?
"Hey, you think this'll make it to the top ten strangest alien animal encounters, back at the SGC?" asked Murdock.
"Dunno. I've seen stranger," Dixon said, with an offhand gesture. It was true. Somehow, added to the fact that an unsettling amount of his off-world time revolved around baby-sitting a procession of people obsessed with rocks and stones (archaeologists: old stone ruins; paleontologists: stones, with fossils in them; geologists: rocks, stones and pebbles, even; philologists: really dirty old stones with writings on them;), his life had turned into the freaking Discovery Channel. SG-13 was responsible for four of the entries on that particular top ten list.
"I wish I'd been with you guys that time you met the Sphinx," Takamoto said, with what Dixon privately considered an idiotic amount of enthusiasm. He had to give the man credit, though, for being unfazed by his recent near-death-or-at-least-horrific-maiming experience. A lot of the scientists he'd dealt with weren't nearly as resilient. Plus, he may have dropped the camera, but he hadn't dropped his gun, which scored him points in the Colonel's book. Maybe he wouldn't be too hard to keep alive.
"It was just a Goa'uld robot," Wells said, responding to the Sphinx comment. He had the blasé air which came with more than two hundred off-world missions under his belt. "We haven't met any true mythical beasts yet."
"I hear SG-1 once fought an actual dragon," Murdock said.
"Hologram," the Colonel said dismissively. "Doesn't count."
"I still think that SG-3's last entry doesn't belong on the top ten," said Takamoto, distracted by one of his pet grievances. "Even the guys at Area-51 agreed that they were just hamsters! Radioactively-mutated hamsters, but still!"
