Running out of meds, needing appointments and the like, and it's pushed this out of the front of my mind. Sorry guys. I'm here now. Let's see what we can do.Ashley grins, enjoying being asked easy questions that she could answer in her sleep that help her look good in front of Colonel Johnson."We recovered the second Stargate when half of SG1 was sent through it one time after a powerful energy discharge struck the gate while they were in transit. We're lucky our gate didn't sustain more damage. We found our people and brought the second gate to Area 51 for safe keeping, but the NID cracked it open and ran their own teams thround for a while before we could stop them. We only recovered it fairly recently.""If there is a third gate, it probably isn't active. Keep in mind that there can be only one primary gate address  for a given set of coordinates, and plugging in a DHD makes that gate the primary. SGC operatives have only come back through another gate once, and remember that we don't exactly have Earth's DHD plugged in. If there was another gate active, we'd probably know about it one way or another. Operating a Stargate causes siesmic disturbances that can be detected fairly easily. The NID had to have someone in the SGC feeding them our gate schedule so they could run theirs right as ours was closing, and doctoring the records so everything looked clean. If there is a third gate, it either hasn't been found yet, or it's being operated concurrently with our own and kept quiet on a need-to-know basis. It just seems incredibly unlikley to me."Ashley looks the small disk over when Julian places it on the table, sighing and shaking her head as she looks up at Julian."It looks a lot like the disk I checked out," she starts, "but given that they probably make copies of all the origional disks that come back through the gate and send those out for analysis, I don't have any way of knowing without comparing it to the one I looked at, and I don't happen to have it on me," she smirks a little as she finishes."That said, if the SGC has two seperate NID datadisks from two seperate worlds they're both doing something very right and running into some very sloppy NID operatives. Somehow, I doubt it's both- we're probably working on the same thing. I looked at it for a bit, but we have boys in crypto staying up all night to work on things like this," she says with a bigger smirk, "so I passed it on. I'd love to see what's on the thing. It would answer a lot of questions. Are you sure you can't crack it?"</blockquote>
