Five Times SG-1 Almost Destroyed The World


1. It was big. It was red. It was the only thing in the doorless room that the stargate opened on to, and Daniel almost pushed it.

"Aaahhht! Daniel! Don't touch!" barked Jack, before he could do so. They looked around for a while, could find nothing else of interest and went home. Anubis' Plan B for destroying the universe was foiled.



2. The Gredians had just started to study the broadcasts of the Tau'ri five Earth years previous, and Dallas had offended them mightily. They had been planning an attack on the offending planet to remove the blot on galactic culture, and SG-1's arrival had given them the information they needed to find Earth, but Jack convinced them that they needed to watch The Simpsons first. They decided that a planet that created a program starring beings that looked just as attractively yellow and stubby as they themselves did was okay by them.



3. The Knufflaxians declared galactic war on the strangers who came through the gate and their planet, unless a member of SG-1 could beat them in a running race. Given their huge size, and long legs, things looked pretty hopeless, but Daniel asked to see how they ran.

"It's the same problem as a human racing a horse," he said.

Jack insisted on choosing the course, and chose Sam to run it, because she'd run track in high school. The humans won handily.




4. The giant pyramid ship of the Goa'uld Hapi was cloaked with an Ancient technology he'd secured. Other Goa'ulds and the Tok'ra could not penetrate the cloak but the ships of the Asgard could. Hapi followed Jacob as he approached Sol with Daniel and Sam on board on his way to rescue Teal'c and Jack in the recalled glider. He would destroy the Tau'ri and become a System Lord. Thor didn't like that plan, and evoked the Protected Planets treaty. Hapi didn't call his bluff.




5. The Frangans were very, very, very jealous that the Asgard had elevated the Tau'ri to be the fifth race. The thought that they deserved the honor, not to mention the technology. They resolved to eliminate the competition. Too bad the Asgard had been watching them and knew them to be not just unworthy, but evil. The Asgard installed the necessary shielding on the Tau'ri ship to keep them safe, but in choosing the place to commit suicide, they ensured that the resulting radiation would inundate the Frangan's planet, putting a permanent ending to their schemes.

Yes aaaand Number 3 makes little sense, because I dashed this piece off early yesterday evening, in a bit of a rush before I had to get dinner on the table, and I didn't take the time to think that not everyone knows how to ensure that a human on foot can beat a racehorse. To people who know, it's obvious (make each leg of the course short with a 180 degree change in direction each time), but others must be left scratching their heads.

Oooops! It just goes to show, post in haste, repent at leisure!

Anyway, glad I could make you smile.

Oh, #1 could really happen! A nice, round, red button ... of course Daniel has to touch it. *g*

And I like the idea why the Gredians like the Simpons. *bg*

And thanks for the explanation of 3 - of course it makes sense with the 180 degrees change. (And that's the reason I'm not on SG-team, I'd never had came up with such an idea. *g*)

Yeah, sorry the explanation wasn't in the fic. I was hurrying too much!

Forget Daniel. I would have had trouble not pushing that button. Wouldn't you? Personally I'm an optimist, so I'd be feeling that something good was likely to happen. Otherwise why would they build that room? Unfortunately, sometimes being curmudgeonly can sometimes be a good thing, as little as I'd like to admit that.

I'm glad you enjoyed these.

Of course I would have pushed that button! *lol*

And on one of my mailing lists somebody posted this video:

A red button, in the middle of a square, and lots of people push it. *g*

OMG thank you for sharing that link! It has definitely filled my quota for delightful weirdness for today, which had been sadly lacking until now.

I love these! The names you came up with for the aliens are very lol-worthy. *g* Now, #5 could be considered a bit of a downer, but on the other hand at least you've given the Asgard suicide a broader purpose!
