Stargate Fic: Beetle's Nothing
Mar. 2nd, 2007 10:19 pmAN: Obviously, this is a work of fiction. However, the geography and descriptions of Jordan and the Tel of Khirbat al-Mudayna are based on my experiences digging in Jordan during the summers of 2004 and 2005. Some of them have been altered slightly to better fit the story. And some of them, of course, have been blown out of proportion completely.
It took me two years to write the first 4000 words of this. And two days to write the last 6000. A lot has changed. Thanks to my betas Amy and Audrey for picking up any mistakes.
A “Tel” or “mound of ruins” is what the local inhabitants call places where cities existed, were destroyed and then rebuilt again. Mudayna is not a true Tel, but the word has come to also mean “hill with ruins”, so it usually referred to as “the Tel” by the people who work on it. In civilized company, at least.
Spoilers: This spins AU after “Full Alert” in season eight of SG-1 and includes a vague reference to “Letters From Pegasus”.
Summary: The discovery of a new technology in an ancient land puts SG-1 in the path of old enemies…and old friends.
