SHADES OF GREY - Eposode #61
After having no luck trying to convince the Tollans of sharing their technology, O'Neill snaps and decides to steal from them. Upon returning to Earth, O'Neill is given an ultimatum of a court martial or early retirement. The Colonel takes the latter and winds up working for Maybourne as part of a covert team that steals alien technology.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- The Asgard and the Tollan approached the SGC with evidence of theft of technology by the SGC. They, and the Nox, threatened to sever diplomatic ties. The Tollans insisted that the SGC apprehend their own rogue team, and the Asgard insisted that O'Neill be the only one involved.
- Maybourne led the rogue SG organization, described as an "offshoot" of the NID, with command coming from very high civilian levels. Their mission statement is to use whatever means necessary to acquire goods and technology that could help Earth in the battle against the Goa'uld, or other unforeseen aggressors.
- PX3-595 is an Asgard protected planet. The natives, known as Tiernods, are primitive, and hide from predators in caves, using an Asgard device to vanish. The mission to PX3-595 was to steal the Asgard vanishing device for the rogue organization.
- O'Neill gave the (unconfirmed) story that a secondary SGC base was to be established offworld as a backup, with O'Neill in command, but the Pentagon didn't grant the backing.
- Jack O'Neill plays chess, listens to opera, and reads Mad magazine.
