And if you do not, may the ancestors protect you. If you wish to follow, join us at the stone ring. And though their world seems far, it is only a step away. If you go with them, you will never see your land again. Do you not see what they are doing? They want us gone, so they can claim our lands for themselves. Year after year the fire rain comes, goes and harms no one. If just one big meteor lands within a few miles of here, the resulting explosion could wipe out the entire village.
As a precaution, we'd like to take you all back to our planet until the threat is over. Back to the village, ASAP.įolks, we think the fire rain is going to start hitting the ground pretty soon. Perhaps this cave provided a means for a small number of Edorans to survive the last meteor bombardment.
Which probably means that at some point, a number of people spent time here. I've never seen the fire rain in the light of day. That way there'd be no conflict of interest… Well, if you'd like, I'll negotiate this treaty with your mother.
My mother taught me to be wary of men wishing to be closer friends. Medicine, technology, education…we'd become friends. There are a lot of things we could help you out with. It's very important to us.Īnd in return for taking this naquada from our soil? Well, you remember how excited Carter got, the day we got here? Many of my people are most curious to know what it is we have that you could possibly want. We're only interested in fair trade, Sir. Our fields, those few buildings…our children. There is nothing more than meets the eye here. They say you've come through the stone ring. If not, we'd be saving the last of a people, Sir. If that's the case, we can send them home in a few days. There may only be a small number of strikes locally. We can't evacuate an entire planet, Major.Īs far as we know, these are the only descendants of a people brought to Edora by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago. I see no reason to withhold the truth from these people, Daniel Jackson.Īccording to the observations I made last night, the near miss we experienced was the just the first of hundreds of crash-sized asteroids directly in the path of Edora…P5C 768. Well, we only know that it has happened, in varying degrees of destruction every hundred and fifty years or so.Īnd it appears that is precisely the amount of time since the last impact. You see, something like this happened on my world millions of years ago and nearly wiped out all life. I'm not really sure that uh, cool, applies to this. They represent naquada dust thrown up by impact events. You see, the further down these striations we go the further back into Edora's past we travel. I figure the decay rate differential between the naquada is about a hundred and fifty years, give or take, so… Sir, I'd like to go back to Earth and input the data I collected from last night's observations into the base's mainframe. He and a young girl go there from time to time, though I don't know why. Garren can show you the way to the caves. Who's going on Daniel's little geology field trip? But there is a tale of the ancestors, that on the second day of the fire rain, there was a distant thunder, and the horizon burned as though the sun never set. Can you ever remember the fire rain striking the ground? So certain orbits in certain years must pass through a denser debris field. The problem is, the asteroid belt isn't uniform. Now as you pass through the millions of tiny rocks and particles, some of them burn up in Edora's atmosphere.Įxactly. Now it orbits your sun in a big circle like this and crosses through an asteroid belt up here at its widest point. See this bright dot? It represents your world, Edora. I'm gonna check the…geological record in the morning. I'll make some more observations tonight, Sir. Though it grows more spectacular every year. If that meteor had struck the ground instead of bouncing off the atmosphere… I was…rather concerned for a minute there, Sir. What do you think, Jack? Was it worth the effort? In our culture, you're supposed to make a wish. That's uh, that's what we call fire rain where we come from. When I was a child, my father told me that the fire rain was the tears of our ancestors, longing to be reunited.Ī falling star. I mean, unless the planet's orbit travels through a debris field like an asteroid belt, in which case… The same night every year? That doesn't make sense. How come you're sure it's gonna fall tonight? Laira, we haven't seen anything you could call fire rain these past few nights. Can O'Neill and the team ever return home? But suddenly, wayward asteroids bombard the planet, destroying the Stargate. SG-1 visits the friendly planet Edora and gathers to watch the annual meteor show that lights up the sky like a fiery rain.
