The briefing room of the Stargate Command was a rather ordinary place for a military complex. It had a big table where briefing and debriefings were done and Flynn had taken seat at this table many times. The office of the General George S. Hammond was connected to it as always. The place was already lit up, briefing folders were placed at each seat and the general was waiting on his seat as Flynn arrived first. This was the first time that SG-17 was heading on a mission since the team was reformed after the loss of the team. Flynn was temporary placed as a Team Leader because he was the most experienced soldier from the new team with quite a few missions for the SGC. He entered the briefing room and saluted. The rest of his team should be arriving any time now. He was assigned with 2 nerds and anther soldier so the team was quite balanced. It made for a nice exploratory team." General Hammond." He said with a smile.
"It's alright Captain, you can skip the formalities." The general stated and gestured for him to take a seat." I take it you've already spoken with your team? I know this was a little bit of a sudden gathering, but we've been pressed for action sooner than expected." Hammond stated and Flynn quickly took his seat, opened the briefing folder and gave it a quick read over. He raised an eyebrow in a manner similar to another member of the SGC who wore a jaffa sign on his forehead." We shall wait for the rest of your team to arrive and take their seats first, Captain." Hammond added.
"Of course, General." Flynn stated, running the details he was seeing here. This was about to get interresting and he sure as hell hoped his team was ready for what was about to happen from now on. There was no time for training wheels here it seemed. They were going to be moving on a mission mere days after being assigned as a team together.
The general waited until all the team members had arrived before her started the briefing speech." Alright, I know that this may be a little bit sudden for you all to start working as a team, but I have utmost confidence in the abilities of all four of you. As members of this program you are among the best and brightest humanity has to offer. In the past we've send SG teams with even less time to learn and train as a team, so I'm sure you all will do a perfect job." Hammond stated and gestured for them to open the folders." For this mission SG-17 will be heading to P7Y-496. An mining world under the control of the Goa'uld Baal. The world's supply of naquadah has been depleted for centuries so the world is considered abandoned by goa'uld forces. You can expect minimal resistance if any." Hammond stated with serious voice." As we all know, Baal is responsible for the capture of Colonel Jack O'Neill. The task you're going to have at hand is contact a spy in Baal's forces. A Tok'Ra agent should be there to provide you with supposed crucial for our operations intel. We all know that the incident with Colonel O'Neill happened because of the Tok'Ra and they are aware of it too. This has put a strain on our relationships, but as things stand, the Tok'Ra need us more than we need them, so we can take this as an olive branch or redemption." The general explained and opened his own folder." The Tok'Ra you will be meeting there is named Kahlan. They will approach you when you arrive. To be sure of their identity, you will ask the other party if They've found Egeria. They should reply with 'Her light forever guides our path'. Apparently the Tok'Ra is in good position within Baal's forces so they cannot leave for long without reason, but they've arranged for this visit under the guise of finding new naquadah vein. The news are fake of course, so the window of opporunity is narrow. You leave right away and have exactly till tomorrow to meet up with the contact there. Staying any longer could lead to troubles. If any of Baal's real forces show up, you're to abandon the mission and return right away. We cannot risk exposing this Tok'Ra." Hammond finished his speech and looked at the team." Any questions?"
