A hurried looking man in uniform - a lieutenant of some sort - comes rushing out from the glass doorway. He's clearly out of breath, and you can see his obvious cyberarm as he leans against the concrete wall.
"I'm -" He pauses for a moment, still breathing hard "- so sorry about the wait. We just had something of an emergency, and your briefing got lost in the chaos. All resolved now, you can come on through." He says, leading them into the briefing room. A blonde general, her hair tinged by more than a few strands of grey, stands beside an AR holoprojector; the semi-circular table facing her. After you take your seats, she begins.
"Team AR-S1 has two objectives for this mission - the first, to infiltrate a Goa'uld stronghold on a remote slave-world and steal their archives. Secondly, they are to return any personal-scale technology they feasibly can that they encounter. The target location is known as 'The Library of Gohtan'; located on the world of the same name. It's primary exports are slaves and foodstuffs, so it's quite primitive even by our standards, but the Jaffa forces guarding the Library are said to be pulled from the elite guard of a Goa'uld known as 'Apophis'." The general paused, then waved her hand at the projector.
An image of a man in retro-futuristic armour with a huge, bird like helmet appeared. He carried a long staff with a counterweight on one end and a bulbous head on the other. The general motioned to a man who was almost certainly a Firewatch team leader.
"This is your standard Jaffa palace guard. The armour is made from an alloy that we don't currently understand, and resistant to most small arms fire. APDS rounds have proven to be effective, but the armour is still incredibly tough. What's more of a concern is the men and women underneath it. They're not quite trolls, in terms of physical strength and toughness, but they also possess incredible dexterity and reflexes. At the moment, we believe them to be a new metatype or the product of extensive genetic engineering. They're equipped with a staff weapon that fires powerful plasma bolts, though it's hellishly inaccurate. Our armour does provide some protection against these weapons, but they're still very powerful and liable to deal damage through impact alone; leaving aside their incredible heat. At the moment, we've yet to see any awakened Jaffa." The Firewatch team leader said, and the AR display changed to aerial surveillance photos of the target area, and the area between it and the stargate.
"Any questions?" The general asked.
