SOLITUDES - Eposode #17
The SG-1 team gets separated when the Stargate malfunctions, sending Jackson and Teal'c back to Earth, and Carter and O'Neill to a supposed other planet.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- The mission to P4A-771 was aborted after coming under attack from energy weapons, possibly Goa'uld.
- Teal'c joined the rescue missions under Major Castleman of SG-3.
- O'Neill has had nine broken bones, including a skull fracture sustained in a parachuting mishap over the Iran/Iraq borders during an "unoffical" mission in the 1980's. There was no rescue, and he made it out on his own after nine days.
- Theoretical explanation of the stargate wormhole: The gate is a giant superconductor that creates an artificial wormhole that transfers an energized matter stream in one direction along an extra-dimensional conduit. A power overload, possibly from enemy fire, caused a malfuction redirecting the energy stream to the second earth gate.
- A second stargate might be placed on a planet if the first becomes lost. Each gate would have a unique point of origin, but both would have the same 6 coordinates as an address and thus could not dial each other, the result being similar to a "busy signal."
- A serpent guard was found buried in the ice.
- The second Earth gate, located 50 miles outside of McMurdo Air Force Base, will be secured by SGC.
Injuries:
- O'Neill: fractured right tibia, 3 fractured ribs, internal bleeding, severe hypothermia, critical condition
- Carter: sprained right knee, scrapes and bruises, moderate hypothermia
- Jackson: knocked unconscious, minor concussion
