RULES OF ENGAGEMENT - Eposode #52
SG-1 stumbles into what looks like a battle between several SG teams and the Goa'uld. They come to find out that they are witnessing a 'war game' set up by Apophis, preparing the young men for a real-life battle with Earth.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- Goa'uld often use humans as fodder in battle. The young soldiers were brought through the stargate from different worlds five cycles ago, shortly after SG-1 destroyed Apophis' ships. They were trained by Jaffa masters and learned about Earth from SG-11 who were captured by Apophis and declared MIA eight months ago on P89-534, but who revealed little about Earth before they died. They were left with standing orders to practice the exercises of battle according to the Rules of Engagement until the return of Apophis, in preparation to infiltrate the Tauri as SGC units.
- The Rules of Engagement are the code of battle during a young Jaffa's training, as dictated by Apophis. The Final Challenge is the day in a warrior's training when first blood is shed, and the games become real.
- Captain Kyle Rogers (real name Rophiapgisy) is acting Quadrant A Commander. His second in command, Captain Nelson (No'var) heads the Jaffa forces.
- Intars are weapons used in training. They can take the form of any weapon, use a crystal power source, and are only meant to stun.
- The vo'cume is a device that projects a recorded audio/video image, used as a symbol of authority.
Injuries:
- O'Neill, Carter, Jackson, Teal'c: shot by intars
