Story[edit | edit source]

Teaser[edit | edit source]

  • SG-1 arrive on a new planet, finding what seems to be an ancient ruined temple. Colonel O'Neill orders SG-1 to move on for "safety".
  • Later, in a meadow, O'Neill uses binoculars to check the surroundings, with no evidence of life around. Suddenly, Captain Carter hears some barkings. Then a young boy appears at the top a hill, running, and chased by four dogs.
  • When the boy is caught and bitten by the dogs, O'Neill uses his handgun to scare them away. Then O'Neill tries to communicate with the boy who definitely speaks a fluent English. He introduces himself, Abu from the Shavadai, is happy to see that SG-1 are from the Sea of Ogada (as O'Neill let him believe), but takes fright when he sees Carter coming back to the group; "She's a woman".
  • At the top of the hill, three men on horses arrive. While Daniel Jackson notices that they have Mongol type, Abu urges SG-1 to leave with Carter. Yet it is too late as the men threaten SG-1 with swords, bows and arrows when they see "the woman".

Act 1[edit | edit source]

  • O'Neill fires in the air with his sidearm, scaring the three men. At the top of the hill, a more aged man riding a horse joins the group. This man is Abu's father, fearing that his son was dead since he wasn't back. Abu explain SG1's rescue against the dogs. The man asks about the way to welcome strangers. One of them points out Carter, she is a "woman". Abu tell that they're coming from the Sea of Ogada so they cannot know the customs. The leader asks about the weapons they carry. Carter answers that that's firearms shooting bullets like their bow shoot arrows. The leader is upset as she dared speaking and demands her death. Abu begs his father as the woman saved her life. The leader cancels the order as according to him, "if a woman saves a man's life, hers cannot be taken". The team is now guest of Moughal but the latter says that if they want to cross their territories, they must learn their customs. Carter is reluctant, yet Daniel Jackson says that it is a unique opportunity to learn about a 900 hundred years old culture.
