Major Davis answers what questions he can . . .
"The Joint Chiefs now about this? Who else knows about it?
"The President and select members of Congress, the heads of the military, and several hundred people who work at Stargate Command. Several high ranking Russian generals and political members are aware of it as well."
How long have we had this thing? How long have we been using it?
"We've had it since 1922, but we've only been used it for the last five years with any regularity"
What have we gotten from it? Who gaurds it to make sure no one grabs it from us?
"Some advances in military design and several useful items. The facility is under heavy guard in Cheyenne Mountain."
How come these Gould don't attack us using these things? Why do I feel like I just stepped into Star Trek?
"Gate travel is from one gate to another and we have certain security measures in place to prevent anyone we don't want from arriving here. As for Star Trek, Commander Durant, it's not as far off as you may have thought 30 minutes ago."
Major Davis paused a few second to allow Durant to absorb the information.
"Your mission is to recover the remaining people on this list and bring them up to date however you deem necessary in order for them to assist you. These remaining people will be your team - assuming you can recover them," Davis paused, clearly unhappy about what he was about to tell Durant.
"The current Stargate is compromised. We don't know by what, nor by whom - only that it has been. Other primary functions within Cheyenne Mountain have been transferred to other locations - those that weren't compromised. Unfortunately, we can't tell who has or who has not been compromised. The pentagon code experts, the hackers, uncovered the list I just gave you and personnel were sent to recover them for some purpose. Two of them on the list are already dead, we intercepted the officer waiting for you here."
"We are certain at this point that none of the people on this list have been compromised. But they are targets - people with the knowledge, skills and tools, to accomplish what we've set before you."
"Once you recover your team, proceed to Area 51 and recover the second Stargate. Here are the papers with your authorization. Get the second Stargate working and proceed through the gate to the location designated - here. Then open this envelope and follow the instruction therein. Do not read the material before hand, and destroy it if you are certain the mission will fail for that knowledge cannot fall into the wrong hands. Before you think about reading it, then destroying it, one of the compromised personnel we recovered can read minds. Yeah, I know, but we're certain of it."
