Calling a halt to alien invasions had been an integral part of Stargate Command’s mission statement from day one. Still, no one expected a spaceship to suddenly land right on top of Cheyenne Mountain, the SGC’s home base. But one did.
The base had gone on full alert as soon as an unauthorized flyover was reported. Radar footage gave a rough indication of the location where the offending craft had landed. When troops arrived to surround it, however, there ended up being a lot of embarrassed standing around and looking for something to surround. That was when a hatch opened, seemingly in mid-air, and someone definitely human came out, although he was not exactly dressed to modern standards. When he saw the waiting cordon, he waved cheerfully and started to climb down. He was wearing very little: sandals, a weird hat and an oversized tee-shirt belted at the waist. Nothing else. Colonel O’Neill was standing almost directly beneath the descending stranger and got an exceptionally good view of the man’s proof of humanity.
“So, what mental hospital did he escape from?” Jack asked of no one in particular. By the looks of the people around him, he was giving voice to the thoughts of just about everyone else.
“A Roman one, by the looks of it.” Daniel remarked unhelpfully. The commotion had been enough to draw even Danny away from his squiggles. As Stargate Command’s greatest linguistic expert, he had been allowed on the site to act as a translator, should one be needed.
“Huh?” was the only response Jack O’Neill could manage. Thankfully, Danny didn’t really need any more than that.
“Loose tunic, sandals and the cap. He’s dressed like a freedman from ancient Rome.”
“You happen to know why, too?”
“Beats me.”
The stranger had reached solid ground by this time and swept the cap off his head in a grandiose bow. “Thank you, thank you. No applause necessary. Hope you enjoyed the show.”
