"You built a Stargate into B5?"
 
   I don't believe it. You actually included it. I didn't take you seriously when you mentioned it a while back. I really should have known better. Now for a few questions:

What of the SGC, or at least some of the characters? I'd like to see most of SG-1 around, and maybe Hammond.

Are you going to include any of the aliens from Stargate? Of so, how? After all, we already have Asgards.

Just a few questions I haven't seen yet.

... Huh?

I've only seen the movie, so I'm not sure what you mean with those acronyms. (I assume they have something to do with the TV series.)

At any rate, the exact events behind the location of the IPO's stargate pair (after all, there must be at least two) have yet to be revealed, but looking at the situation, exactly what need would we have for an ill-tempered Air Force general, a suicidal squad commander, or a professor of Egyptology in the IPO Technical Division? The stargate's operation is really pretty straightforward, even if Android hasn't quite figured out how the thing actually works yet. (Something about verteron cascades and a simultaneous converging sub-etheric wormhole phenomenon - gives me a headache... )

>Are you going to include any of the aliens from Stargate?

Well, Ra was obviously a Reticulan Gray, they're not exactly uncommon. Hell, there's an episode of Babylon 5 in which we see one getting sued by a human for beaming up and ass-probing the human's great-grandfather. By UF standards, those guys aren't so tough.

They are. The SGC was created when it was discovered that there was more then two Stargates, and that Ra had a lot of friends that were very pissed off at Earth for nuking him. Units such as SG-1 have the mission of travelling through the stargate to various planets in search of technology and allies that will help defend Earth. SG-1 is the main team, consisting of O'Neal (Who is nowhere near as crazy as the movie version) Jackson (Resident historical genius, who is still needed for some annoying reason) Major Samatha Carter (Resident Mad Scientist... well, sort of) and Teal'c (Guy with alien living in stomach. Defected to Earth in the pilot episode, been around ever since).

I figured it was like the tv series, where there were thousands of Stargates across the galaxy. They replaced the ill-tempered Air Force General with someone without a sword up his ass, and Richard Dean Anderson refused to play O'Neal if he was as dark as the movie version, which resulted in the man being someone you
can tolerate. I figured that someone, maybe the WDF, would be using the Stargates for exploration or something.

But, since you've only seen the movie, I guess that idea's a flop.

Pretty good show they managed to cook up, in my opinion. I'm especially fond of how they relate the worlds beyond the Stargate as pretty much being universally unpleasant places filled with alien governemnts typically just as dishonest as the one back home. I wish I could see it more often, but my own local broadcast station is a hybrid of a couple of the lesser networks and therefore has to split the difference, typically.

Just because a piece of technology exists in UF, doesn't mean the attendant characters from that series are always there.

There isn't any need for an SGC in UF, AFAIK. The SGC in Stargate: SG-1 is an exploration/defense group exploring the stargate network left by some ancient race long, looooong ago and fighting the Goa'uld.

Not quite like the Asgards in SG-1. Thor isn't that short. :)

Very True. Let us also add the fact that you need to know where the other stargate is (to an extent) and that the opening of the other gate isn't blocked... Assuming that said gates are relics, they may all be burried, rendering them unusable. (remember that's how they originally sealed the gate in the movie....)

All in all, I'd expect that if something similar to the SG-1 team existed, it's personell would be composed entirely of WDF personell. Possibly even a good job for q, if he's still around (Since pFloyd isnt).

Major Lara Croft, WDF Exploratory Force.

Why the JK part?? all in all, it's a perfect job match... She combines the resident sex goddess, tough military mind, and archeologist all in one zaftig package. All she'd need is a few nameless red-shirts for cannon fodder, really.
