• Absolute Power
    May 17 2026

    Daniel meets up with the Harsisus child and gets a glimpse of what would happen to even him if he was to gain absolute power. And as you might expect, it isn't pretty.

    What do you get when you cross human fighter jet technology with Goa'uld Death Glider technology? Well, we aren't sure, but the bigger question is: Who are we going to get to test it out? Oh, I know, I know, let's pick two guys from our most forward advance team that travels through the gate regularly. I'm sure they're up to date on their test-flight pilot training. What could go wrong?
