Disclaimer: Okay, so a few of the characters in this story actually belong to me, but I'm still not making any money off the others. But please, go ahead and sue me anyway. If fact, I'll make you a deal. You help me gain fame and notoriety -- and I'll help your lawyers spend all that retainer money! Summary: When super advanced alien weapons technology falls into the hands the Goa'uld, SG-1 and the Tok'ra need all the help they can get. Can an Immortal strike force really make a difference, or will Basic Training bring them to their knees? Author's note # 1: This story was completed just prior to September 11, 2001. I was at a loss as to whether to release it at all, but given my personal affinity and longtime affection for those in the military I've decided to offer it now as a show of support to my many readers in uniform. I hope in some small way it helps to at least alleviate some of the tension between rounds. Author's note # 2: This is the third volume in an ongoing series. For those of you who'd like to read books one and two (recommended), they can be found at Heliopolis (http://www.SG-1-heliopolis.com) or with all the rest of my work at Ather's Fiction Library (http://www.athersfictionlibrary.co.uk/main) and in the Files section of my update list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ecolea). Personal note: Many thanks to Arameth, for diabolical and fiendish torment of the author, guidance and without whom none of this would be possible -- and for once again volunteering to defend the sovereign soil of the United States and of her allies. His Gracefulness Charles, for wonderfully supportive comments when I needed it most and for helping to save so many lives at ground zero. It meant a lot to me knowing you were there when I couldn't be at home. My thanks to Captain Average, for flying to my rescue and doing a superb job of beta-ing this story. And to Karoshi, too busy to nit pick, but always an inspiration. Ditto Astrochick for just the facts. Thank you, ma'am. Note to canon junkies: This is a crossover and an alternative universe tale of derring do. It's a good bet you'll find something to get annoyed over. Dedicated to Master Sergeant W. R. J. Bearcatt, U.S. Army, Ret., for being such a good sport and indulging a lowly civilian. And to all those brave men and women who serve in the Armed Forces. Some of us have always loved you.
