NEW GROUND - Eposode #62
Inhabitants from another planet find a gate that had been buried, and the SGC discovers this and tries to communicate. Daniel is able to get through and asks if SG-1 can come through to explore. Shortly after the team arrives they are attacked by a group that does not believe in the gateway system and taken prisoners.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- Carter's new cold dialing program searches for new stargates by periodically redialing cartouche stargate addresses that hadn't connected the first time. The planet P2X-416 was the first connection made by the new program.
- Bedrosia and Optrica are rival continents that have been engulfed in an ideological war for decades. The Optricans believe that humans were brought to the planet by aliens who travelled through a gateway. During the upheaval, a period of violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions covering most of the continent about 2000 year ago, the gateway was buried and the beings could no longer come through. The Bedrosians believe that the planet and its people were created on Bedrosia by the god Nefertum, without the need of a gateway.
- Nefertum, the Blue Lotus Blossum of Ra, son of Sakmet, was an under System Lord to Ra, and probably brought the people to the planet. The Bedrosians believe he is the creator of the planet and its people, as related in their holy book, the Book of Nefertum.
- The portable naquadah reactor can be used as a power source to manually dial the stargate.
- Nyan, a scientist with the Research Academy on Bedrosia, returned to Earth and will obtain refugee status to remain as a research assistant to Daniel.
