A/N: Triple drabble.
What’s happening to the people of Cimmeria, all the deaths that have already occurred, that’s SG-1’s fault; the whole team knows it, and General Hammond, despite playing devil’s advocate, probably knows it too. They destroyed Thor’s Hammer to save Teal’c, one of their own, and now that defence no longer exists, the Goa’uld have shown up in force, intent on enslaving a free people.
Jack and his team can’t just turn their backs and let it happen; they have to do something. What, exactly, they don’t know just yet, but they’ll figure it out when they get there and talk to any survivors.
Doing something isn’t as easy as they’d hoped, however. Landing pads are under construction to receive pyramid ships, more Goa’uld will soon arrive, and the team, even with the help of the Cimmerians, are vastly outnumbered. They only have a limited amount of C4, and they’ll need to keep some in reserve for when the ships arrive. Their only hope is to contact the Asgard and hope they’re willing to help.
Just like everything else on this mission, that’s easier said than done. The Hall of Thor’s Might does not contain the hoped-for advanced weaponry, or much of anything else, except for the mighty Thor in hologram form, and a puzzle to solve. A test to see if the Cimmerians have evolved enough for the Asgard to make contact. Solving it gets them an audience with the real Thor, still a hologram, but it’s progress.
He isn’t what they were expecting, not a huge Viking, more like a Roswell Grey. Explaining exactly what happened to his hammer isn’t fun, but he takes it well. Fortunately, what he lacks in physical stature he more than makes up for in technological superiority. Just goes to show, size isn’t everything.
