Five-Minute Stargate


Five-Minute Stargate SG-1: "Proving Ground"

by Miss Ship

[Teal'c and O'Neill run around with these military kids, making it look like something important and exciting's happening. But it's not.]
Elliott: Assessing.
O'Neill: Ignoring.
Teal'c: Come on, O'Neill, let's jet.
O'Neill: 'Kay.

[The Mini SG Team finds Carter (talking in a funky voice) and Daniel, pointing guns at each other.]
Elliott: Uh, what's up?
Carter: Not much.
[Grogan shoots Carter.]
Daniel: Are you stupid?
[Daniel shoots all of them, after talking in the funky voice.]
Grogan: Yeah.
[And then everyone gets up. Darn.]

[O'Neill and Carter yell at the MSGT.]
O'Neill: What did you think you were doing!?! Shooting Carter instead of Daniel!?!
Carter: Yeah, what's up with that?
Satterfield: Daniel's hot.
Carter: Good enough.
Elliott: Oh, and your scenario sucks.
O'Neill: Meh.

Elliott: I'm going to butt-snorkel.
O'Neill: I prefer people who kick my ass, to people who kiss it.

[MSGT meets by the jeeps, yes, by the jeeps.]
Grogan: So, Colonel O'Neill's got some major issues.
Satterfield: Yeah, he, like, hates every one.
Grogan: Oh, yeah. But I was more talking about the whole cliché thing.
Hailey: Okay, pact time. We'll promise never to use clichés.
Grogan and Satterfield: Never ever again.
Elliott: I dunno...if the shoe fits wear it...
Hailey: Oh wait, it doesn't.

[And here comes the "blue jell-o scene"...]
Miss Ship: I'm not even going to bother to five this. Just imagine, jell-o, sarcastic Jack, smiling Sam and tons of ship. Big 'shippy sigh everyone!

[Yet another scene of supposed excitement and importance. But it's not.]
O'Neill: Okay, grab some alien tech, don't die and get to the gate. Go!
Hailey: Are you sure the gun goes with my outfit?
Satterfield: Well, no offence but it's kinda...
Grogan and Elliott: Tacky.
O'Neill: Hello? I said "GO!"
Grogan: Okay, let's go and get me shot.
Elliott: Oh, and this is where I get to fail yet one more time.

[They fail yet one more time, and go to meet Colonel O'Neill.]
O'Neill: You suck.
[Cell phone rings. Menacing, secretive, military talk is heard.]
O'Neill: Go home.
[Jeeps come. Shots are fired. O'Neill gets shot. There's blood. Basically it sucks.]
Elliott: Exciting. Now I remember why I joined the USAF.
O'Neill: Crap, I'm stuck with losers helping me save the SGC from aliens. Yet another day in the life of Colonel Jack O'Neill.

[O'Neill and the MSGT get into the SGC through these escape tunnel things. They get guns and hide in the armoury and hear Teal'c say...]
Teal'c: I'm so evil, I'm so evil. Muhahahaha.

[The MSGT go to Carter's lab and find out the gate has been opened.]
Grogan: It's pretty.
Elliott: Like a big...
Hailey: Puddle. Which I've been through. So basically, I rock.
[Hailey brings up cameras from General Hammond's office.]
Satterfield: Whoa. Daniel looks even hotter when he's evil.
[Daniel makes this artifact thing go all funky.]
Satterfield: Ooo, field trip to Dr. Jackson's lab! Come on, Grogan.
Grogan: Do I have to?
Elliott: Hailey, we're going to shut off the puddle.
Hailey: But it's so pretty.
O'Neill: I'll just stay here.

[Hailey and Elliott get in a firefight with some SF's.]
Hailey: Hey, what's this? A gun? [Shoots it.] Oh, it's "real." Woops.

[Satterfield and Grogan find out the artifact is a Goa'uld Trojan Horse.]

[O'Neill has a weird phone call and stops Hailey and Elliott from shutting down the gate. Weird.]

Hailey: Okay, so these nanabots are making all the SG personnel do funky stuff. It's not just another training scenario to see how we react when we are put in a very realistic situation.
Elliott: Okay, then, I've got a brilliant plan.
Grogan: What? Are you going to suggest taking over the briefing room at the same time as shutting off the gate? Stopping the SF's, creating a distraction that enables Hailey to shut off the gate, while you set C4 to destroy the device giving off the transmissions that are controlling the personnel?
Elliott: Well, I was going to say let's go for pizza...but if we can get pizza after...

[O'Neill makes another weird phone call. Weird.]

[The MSGT meets Carter.]
Elliott: That's it, I'm certain you're evil. Like everyone on the base is evil, so you must be evil. To Colonel O'Neill's office we go.
Sam: Right-O.

[The MSGT and Carter arrive to see O'Neill freeing a SF's restraints. Weird.]
Elliott: See I told you everyone was evil.
Grogan: Ooo, can I shoot him?
Carter: That's my job.
[Elliott shoots O'Neill.]
Elliott: Everyone's evil I tell you.
Hailey: Except Major Carter, we totally trust Major Carter.
Satterfield: Uh, why again?
Hailey: Have you seen her cool civvies?

[The MSGT run off to complete that plan they were supposed to complete a long time ago.]

[Carter and O'Neill chat, even though O'Neill is "evil." Weird.]
O'Neill: So, is everyone being Big Brotherish upstairs?
Carter: Yep.

[Hammond and that guy talk.]
Hammond: So, if you've got five apples, and give two to Harry and one to--
That Guy: So, this just a training scenario.
Hammond: --Sally. How many--
That Guy: And we're just testing them to see if they are "SG team qualifiable."
Hammond: --do you have left?
[O'Neill and Carter enter.]
O'Neill: Three.

[Daniel and Teal'c lounge in Hammond's office, the phone rings.]
O'Neill: Heh, heh, heh.

[Shooting and stuff begins.]
Satterfield: Hey, Daniel, after I shoot you and this whole training scenario's over, you wanna go out for a drink or something?
Daniel: Uh, aren't you, like, twelve!?!
[Satterfield shoots him.]
Satterfield: Thirteen, idiot!
Elliott: Come on, let's go blow up the device.
[C4 counts down.]
Satterfield: What? So, suddenly the C4 of this country has gone downhill? 'Cause if you call that an explosion... well... let's just say, that was not an explosion.
[The MSGT minus Hailey walk into the briefing room to find out...]
Elliott: You got pizza!
Grogan: Uh, aren't you guys evil?
O'Neill: Who, us?
Carter: Well, yeah.
Hammond: But there's pizza.
O'Neill: And no Hailey.
Carter: Now there's a bonus.
Elliott: Oh, right. She's "deactivating the gate." Part of the other part of the part of the part of the scenario.
Miss Ship: Woops.
Grogan: Anyways, is this where I get to go save her and act all heroic?
Elliott: No. Want some pizza?

[An incoming wormhole is activated, the iris is not working, radiation is coming through the gate, and Hailey's "already dead."]
Elliott: Now I remember why I joined the USAF.
O'Neill: The excitement, the drama, the adventure?
Elliott: Have you tried this pizza?

[Everyone heads up to the viewing room, except Elliott.]
Elliott: And here I go, defying orders, closing the iris, saving Hailey, watching the blast doors open to everyone clapping... are they eating my pizza!?!

Hammond: So, you've got the job.
O'Neill: Yep.
Elliott: Lovely.


THE END

Legal notices. You are number ### to shoot O'Neill.
