Plot Outline:

            Daniel Jackson warns SG-1 about the impending Goa'uld attack he witnessed, in an alternate reality, on their last mission. They soon find out that the future of the Stargate Program is in jeopardy. Not by the Goa'uld, but by a ruthless senator who is only concerned with financial expenditure. The team tries to convince Senator Kinsey (Ronny Cox) of the Stargate Program's importance to national, even world, security. However, the senator is not convinced and shuts down the Stargate Program. In a last ditch effort to convince the senator, Dr. Jackson tells him of a coming Goa'uld attack on Earth. He also tells the senator that he has the coordinates of where the attack will originate. The senator does not believe him and leaves the base. à Plot Outline by Chad C.
