When the ship entered hyperspace, Catherine couldn't help it but stare at the swirling blue mess on her screen. She has of course seen it before on the other 304s, but it still got her every time. [i]Vorsprung durch technik[b]*[/b],[/i] she thought with a smile before checking out of the bridge to go catch some shut-eye after overseeing the final preparations. It would take over a day to reach their destination, which gave her plenty of time.

As the door opened, Kat got a good look at what would be as close to home as it would get in the next few months, hopefully longer. The cabin was not too big - something she preferred actually. The whole room was very spartan, with nothing but a closet, bed, desk and a few chairs present. It only was a few paces away from the bridge as well, which suited her just fine. Finding her two bags lying on the bed where they were beamed, she unpacked rather quickly, took a fast shower and slipped under the sheets.

A few hours late, Mr. Williams finally called a briefing. When Black entered the room, she spotted the familiar microphone. "Můj bože, zase tohle?[b]**[/b]" she muttered for herself as she took a seat. Wondering if the secretary was in the adjacent room, captain waited for Williams to start. Her eyelids promptly slammed shut so he couldn't see her rolling eyes as he talked into the microphone, stealing valuable seconds of her life.

Finally getting to the interesting bit, the briefing provided food for thought. The gate was working before, meaning the locals probably buried it after the rebellion succeeded, although the IOA probably suspected otherwise, and for once she could agree that expecting the worst was good idea. Searching for the gate by scanning would take quite long, and if SGC could be bothered to try dialing while Langford's gate was disabled, detecting the power spike in the buried gate would be much easier. She also wasn't a fan of needing the locals' approval to explore the ancient facility, not with the Asgard transporter on board allowing them to just beam right in, but she was willing to leave this matter to Williams quite happily.

When he was done, Captain took over. "No direct evidence of Goa'Uld presence to date, but there is that possibility, along with Alliance or other factions." she said, answering Lt. Zaken's question, "We will drop out of hyperspace on the outskirts of Tolia's system to avoid detection if any ships are present. The [i]Langford[/i] carries two 302s modified for recon the SGC wants tested, and this is a perfect opportunity." she explained, the screen behind her showing a schematic of Tolia's system. "Once we drop out, the 302 will make a short jump to Tolia. If no ships are detected, we'll send a subspace signal to SGC and have them try dialing Tolia's gate. If it is buried, the 302 should be able to pick up it's power signature and pinpoint it's location." Black continued, the graphics behind her showing the plan with additional data on the planet.

"Once the 302 gives all clear, we'll move in and bring our gate online to test the calibration of it's navigational system. If it fails to locate the gate, [i]Langford[/i] will proceed with planetary scanning while colonel Blaze's ground team proceeds to the ancient facility. The recon 302 will remain at your disposal, but as Tolia is a former Goa'Uld occupied world, I believe we shouldn't send in either the Jaffa or the Tok'Ra until we confirm the locals will not shoot them on sight." she finished, looking around for any other questions.
