Why This Must Be Read: While off-world, SG-1 finds some 'artifacts' inscribed with what appears to be Goa'uld script. When they are forced to return to the SGC due to Sam suffering a minor injury, the decision is made to take as many artifacts as possible back with them so Daniel and Teal'c can try to decipher the inscriptions. Do I need to say anything else about the central plot? No? I didn't think so, lol. This is a great Team (mis)adventure story, with all members of SG-1 (plus also Hammond and Fraiser) playing their part in trying to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequence of inadvertently having brought trouble through the door. Imo, the great plot, active pacing, interesting original characters, and oftimes witty dialogue make this story a terrific read.
"Carter, you awake? Carter?"
"Umm? Wha-?" Carter jerked herself upright. "I'm awake, sir." She glanced back at the two Stargate personnel still sleeping soundly in the back seat. Both sets of hands were bound uncomfortably behind them, but it didn't seem to make a difference. "They're still out, sir. Have you been able to contact the base?"
"No, Carter, that's what I want you to do," O'Neill said, trying to be patient, putting the car into a left hand turn just ahead of the red light. He handed her the cell phone that was still in his pocket. "See if you can get hold of General Hammond."
"The phone is dead. You didn't recharge the battery."
"I know that, Carter. You're the mechanical genius around here. Fix it. Power it up from a piece of tinfoil. Do something, Carter. Get me General Hammond."
"Yes, sir." She rummaged in his glove compartment, and pulled out a long black cord still wrapped in plastic.
"What's that?"
"It's a car accessory device for your cell phone. I got it for you last Christmas; don't you remember? I'm going to power your phone from the car battery."
"Oh." O'Neill tried not to feel embarrassed.
