New Horizons 1

Several weeks after the outbreak things are almost back to normal, well as normal as they can be under the circumstances,

The dead have all been removed to Abydos & burnt, SGC has been put back together & scrubbed down as best as it can be. All further attempts to reach the surface have been abandoned following the last collapse, which resulted in nothing more than the death of John Gaule & the crippling of Deacon Frost.

As life starts to settle into some kind of order SG1 & a circle of IS grunts nervously stand in front of the gate. Whilst SGC had a reasonable store of essentials fresh food & water it isn't going to last forever, so with apprehension one of the many gate codes retrieved from Abydos has been keyed & the gate stands open before them.

The first code selected by Schultz, 14.9.13.16.11.2.19, is keyed in & the gate powered up.

Nervously the ATV is directed through & very nearly lost. As it passes through it suddenly tilts & drops over the edge of, well something. Fortunately it is restrained by its power lines & with some considerable blood, sweat & tears is dragged back onto the ramp. A quick inspection reveals only superficial damage however the ATV is bedecked with seaweed & icy water, putting this one down to experience the gate is powered down & a second code selected.

With the ATV dried out the second code is entered, 21.8.22.17.4.12.29, this time the ATV is activated before it wholly goes through the gate.

Kapek looks up from his monitor & gives the other members of SG1 the thumbs up, looks good, smells good, lets do it.

As the surrounding grunts watch SG1 pass through the gate.

Eleven minutes later comm's via the ATV is lost.

Twenty-four minutes later SG1 have not reappeared.

Six minutes later SG2 nervously assemble in the gate chamber unsure what lies ahead . . . . . . .
