Preface


On February 14th, 2003 a top secret meeting was called in by the US and Russian government, inviting leaders of the other major countries, UK, China and France. In this meeting the Americans disclosed that they are capable of interstellar travel by means of a device referred to as the Stargate. After Senator Kinsey's proposal, to give the NID control over the Stargate on behalf of all five nations, was crushed by the visit of the Asgard Thor, they agreed to let the US military maintain the program.

March 19th, 2004: almost one year later, an Ancient outpost in Antarctica is discovered, revealing the purpose of the 8th chevron to add the capability to travel to Atlantis, the City of the Ancient, in the Pegasus galaxy. A team of international scientists was assembled to go there. By that the Austrian government was let in on the Stargate program and sent two brilliant minds to accompany the mission.

Now in knowledge of the Stargate the Austrian government secretly founded an organization employing scientist to study the gate's technology. While under pressure to come up with new technology and knowledge based on Ancient design, on November 15th, 2008 they finally made a stunning discovery.


Part 5 – Rescue


EXT Your location, The Eye's new campsite

Your arrival at the campsite is not without notice. You see two men running and disappearing in the woods. Unexpectedly, there is no resistance at all. As you look around you find three tents. Smoke rises through the roof of the middle one. As you enter the middle one, you discover Mr. Koch lying on the floor, face down. Carefully, you approach him to check for a pulse. As you reach out to feel his neck he suddenly turns on his back. He has a big cut on his forehead which is bleeding mildly. Obviously confused about what happened he looks at you and says:

KOCH: Where am I? ... Who are you? … W…What happened?

Unsure about what really happened here you brief him with what you have seen upon your arrival.

KOCH: Good god, thank you for rescuing me!

KOCH cont'd: My captures, they were after the symbols.

He takes a deep breath.

KOCH cont'd: And I am afraid that they’ve got what they were looking for.
At least I managed to give them false coordinates for the next symbol, so it might have bought you some time to get there first.

He reaches out for pen and paper, which are lying on a desk just beside him. You help him get up, and he starts to draw something. As he finished he hands you the paper and says:

KOCH: Here is what I’ve found out.

After deciphering the scribbling on the paper Koch gave you, you head out to retrieve the symbol.(Symbol Location)

EXT Your Location Linz, Austria

In the very same moment you pick up the symbol fragment, you hear the crackle of a Eurocopter type Helicopter coming closer and landing on the field to the east. A man in a black suite jumps out the open cargo cabin door and runs towards you shouting:

MAN: The Brigadier send us. Come with me.

Brenner really seems to be “all-knowing”.
