For Prompt: 080 Island
Summary: Too valuable an opportunity to miss…
A/N: this is not supposed to be a mission from the show – if the planet number is one they actually went to ignore it.
A/N2: I’m pretty sure DM was a lieutenant at one point at least in the army…if anyone knows he was higher than that in the American army (at any time) let me know.

Mission Report – PZ539
Background
We learned of the nature of PZ539 from the Tok’ra two months before the mission began. General Carter informed us that the Tok’ra had found a breeding world for the Goa’uld, a kind of hatchery as Colonel O’Neill put it. It was agreed that destroying the facilities on such a world (and perhaps even a Goa’uld queen) would be a severe blow to the Goa’uld, not because the system lords want more Goa’uld competition, but because the larva are pivotal in keeping the Jaffa subservient. However the facility was, understandably, highly fortified, on an island some distance from the mainland which was home to the Stargate. The only people who were ever taken to the island were the Jaffa religious cast who looked after the larva, a hundred or so guards, and those who were to be implanted as priests or priestesses. Small ships left now and then to take larva to the system lords, but these were unarmed cargo ships and so would be unsuitable to try and take the complex with. Any other ships would be immediately caught in the planetary defences and destroyed.
Plan
It was agreed that the only way would be to infiltrate the compound as recruits for the religious cast. In order to minimise the chances of being made into Jaffa Colonel O’Neill decided that Adam Pierson and I should be the ones to infiltrate the compound. Once inside we would disarm the defences and send for SG-3 and the rest of SG-1 waiting on the mainland, who would then storm the facility, try and find the queen and set explosives in the key areas. Once set we would steal one of the ships and fly back to the Stargate on the mainland.
To ensure that Dr Pierson and I would not be without military expertise while infiltrating the compound he recruited one Duncan Macleod whom Dr Pierson recommended as an experienced soldier. After passing clearance Mr Macleod regained his former rank of Lieutenant and began working with myself and Dr Pierson on basic Goa’uld language and culture in order to be able to pass amongst the Jaffa.
Report
SG-1 and 3 took up positions near the gate in case and Dr Pierson, Lt. Macleod and I successfully infiltrated the compound at 1030 (base time, approx. 1500 planet time). We were taken to a pleasant cell on the fringes of the compound and told to wait amongst the other hopefuls. We could not leave the room without raising suspicion and so waited for the guards to return to start choosing people. We were careful to be seen and Duncan was immediately chosen. He left with the guards and Adam and I continued to wait. After a two others were taken I was chosen and followed the guards down a long corridor going deeper into the heart of the facility. I was left in a plain room that seemed to be something like a miniature temple with a tiny alter (not much bigger than a coffee table) on the far wall. After a few minutes a young priestess enter, holding in front of her an ornate glass or crystal, full of a blue liquid with a Goa’uld inside, twisting spasmodically in the small space. She bid me to kneel in front of the altar and I did as she commanded, the guards shutting the door on us, leaving us alone in the small room. On the altar I saw a device much like the one Hathor used on Colonel O’Neill, but smaller, and once the priestess had laid the jar on the altar with a great deal of ceremony she put it on.
I blacked out when she used the device on me, but when I came too I was alone, lying on the floor on my side, the Goa’uld larva dead and covered in burns on the floor beside me, my stomach whole.
I quickly left the room, heading out into the corridor to find my primary targets: the control room or the generator. The Tok’ra had given us the schematics they had to learn, but there were some things out of place. I eventually found the generator room, two guards incapacitated just inside the door and two more dead a little way from the other entrance, like they had run forward to see what was happening and been cut down by a staff weapon. Lt. Macleod was already at the control panel, unscathed, and pulling out control crystals from the unit. He seemed to be having some trouble, but got the right one as I approached and the shield surrounding the naquita generator fell. Working together we managed to disconnect it and brought it with us as we left, heading towards the control room. Dr Pierson was there before us, several Goa’uld dead or incapacitated, and as soon as he saw us he hit a switch which I took to be sending out the signal we agreed to call the SG teams in.
We stayed where we were, Lt. Macleod keeping guard on the door with a staff weapon taken from one of the bodies and taking out the few guards who came our way. It was perhaps thirty minutes before the rest of SG-1 arrived at the control room, SG-3 fanning out to search the compound and take out as many larva as they could find. They had already found and taken out the queen and a number of tanks of larva. We saw more rooms full of glowing blue tanks as we passed on our way to the hangar and destroyed each one as we passed. Within 10 minutes of their arrival in the control room we were on a ship flying back to the mainland and the Stargate with minimal casualties.
Evaluation
Mission objectives completed. However Lt. Macleod will not be staying with us. I would like to note the particular qualities that made him suitable for this mission and recommend he be urged to stay.
I hereby declare the above document is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
