Sorry, my 10,718 characters can't seem to fit in *one* comment. Heh.
1. Goa'uld Dismay
"My Lord! Good news!"
The Goa'uld's eyes flashed. "You've found the Shol'va?"
"No, my Lord, but we've discovered the sabotage the Tau'ri left behind, and found there was a malfunction in their timing device. We've brought it to you."
Their master studied the inside, nodding. "Yes, the Tau'ri female is not as intelligent as reported. She obviously mistook this for being the trigger..."
"Sire, they've just reached the Chappa'ai. We are moments from capturing..."
Suddenly the Goa'uld shoved the device back into his First Prime's hands and scrambled for the ring platform. "The fool! She connected it to the sukkortra! It could've detonated in her hands! Get it away! Get it--"

Daniel looked back as the SGC iris sealed behind them. "Did you hear something just now?"
Teal'c looked to Major Carter. "The sabotage?"
Sam looked at her watch. "That trigger should've given us fifteen more minutes on the timer."
"And another mission accomplished." Jack slapped his hands together. "Anyone for lunch?"
2. But For a Moment...
Bill Lee hesitated as he hooked up the last few cables. "What are the chances that this will cause problems in another, alternate universe, Dr. Carter?"
The head of SGA research and "You mean considering how many potential universes are out there, and the possibility of those that are inhabited with life and then those that are inhabited with intelligent life right at the point we are directed the event?"
"All right, all right. I know we've run through the permutations, but still..." He just shook his head. "All right, we're good to go."
"Great." Sam's hand hovered over the button to engage the device, but paused for several seconds. She had the oddest feeling. What if this moment the factoring was centered on a universe just like hers? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Bill's paranoia was getting to her. She pressed the button.
*** Cam paused next to Sam outside the lab on floor 19. "Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah," She shook her head. "I just had the strangest feeling."
"As if millions of voices cried out and were suddenly silenced?"
Cam groaned. "Okay, no more Star Wars for you. It's getting old."
"You have to admit his Yoda impression helped when were trying to confuse that smuggler," Vala smiled as she continued to inventory the box of goodies they had retrieved from said smuggler--not counting the minor trinkets she'd stashed in her tac vest.
Daniel eyed Vala suspiciously before turning to Sam. "You sure you're all right?"
Sam glanced back at the empty lab room before smiling reassuringly and following the rest of the team. "Yeah, fine."
