Anubis could not have missed our arrival.
You are correct. Alkesh and gliders approach. Many.
[Cut to the outside with the hovering shuttle burning through the ice with a white hot beam. In the distance a large swarm of gliders and several Alkesh bear down upon the shuttle.]
They will be in firing range in thirty seconds. More ships approach from the opposite direction.
[turning to the back of the shuttle's cargo bay where O'Neill is] Sir! We are about to get our ...!
[Outside the swarm of Goa'uld ships fly in a tight formation when suddenly two missles hit one of the Alkesh blowing it from the sky. More missles hit, blowing apart gliders and Alkesh as several squadrons of F-302 fighters intercept the Goa'uld ships bringing them down short of the shuttle. Behind the fighters the massive Prometheus slides over the shuttle shielding it from further attacks.]
GHGen. Hammond
[On the bridge of the Prometheus] Protect that scout ship at all costs!
[Jack and Daniel are arguing over Daniel going to Atlantis and find General Hammond in Jack's chair in his office.]
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Jack. I let myself in, hope you don't mind.
GOGen. O'Neill
Absolutely not! Welcome.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Thank you.
GOGen. O'Neill
Miss the chair?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Actually I do.
GOGen. O'Neill
Want it back?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
As a matter of fact I do. My new one just isn't the same.
GOGen. O'Neill
That's not exactly what I meant...
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Doctor Jackson. Nice to see you again.
Likewise. We miss you around here, sir. [Jack gives him an angry stare] So, to what do we owe this pleasure?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
I came to see if you were interested in joining the mission to Atlantis.
Gen. O'Neill & Daniel Jackson: You did?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
He's the most qualified person on this planet, and the mission commander needs someone who can translate Ancient.
GOGen. O'Neill
With all due respect, sir, I think you should tell the mission commander that I need Daniel right here.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
You just did.
GOGen. O'Neill
I did. I did? [pauses] You, sir?
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
Yes. Request denied. Doctor Jackson, you're with me. I'll have this chair shipped to Washington. You can requisition a new one.
GOGen. O'Neill
I'll do that, sir.
MGMajor General George S. Hammond
We leave tomorrow. Oh, and I'll be taking Walter, too.
[Hammond leaves, while O'Neill wears the expression of one who has no idea what just happened]
