Dresen Barracks
Alice approached the barracks with purpose, making a list in her mind of everything she would need prepared for the meeting. The guards were easy, just simply request 5 soldiers from the local barracks, but that would require her to make the request to the city guards office, which acts as the head station for police Actions on the plant.
As she opens the door, she sees the Commanding officer sleeping at his desk, with next to no paperwork on his desk. *sigh* "Im not surprised, to be honest. There's next to no crime to begin with, so being a city guard is boring. But it pays decently and most people consider it a noble, if not relaxing job. Except when a emergency occurs, like a natural disaster or military incursion. In which case, they are called in to provide support as needed.
Alice quietly walked forward and lightly tapped the Officer on the shoulder, letting him wake up on his own. She had half a mind to slam her hand on the table just to mess with him, but decided against it.
"eugh, wha-oh, Lady Alice, its you. What brings you here?" the officer asks, grogy and drousy.
"I need to borrow about 5 guards for a small mission. Diplomatic one, so no need to bring out the big guns or anything. Just a small group for the misssion and thats it."
"Well you're in luck, one of my patrols should be back any minute no-" he is cut off as said patrol walks in as he mentions them. "oh, well there they are, we were just talking about you lot"
"yeah yeah yeah, old man, we're back. Hey lady Alice, nice to meet you." one of the guards say.
"Well, hello there. Perfect timing too, as im comandering your squad for a little picnic, and I need to go put together the gift basket." Alice responds to who she assumes is their leader. "Ma'am? What mission are we being dragged along for?"
"Nothing combat related, so you can relax. I just need a token bodyguard for a diplomatic mission. Thats all" Alice explains calmly.
"Diplomatic mission? I thought our lord shies away from diplomacy with other system lords?" The man ask puzzled
Alice responds with a slight grin "Who said we were meeting a system lord?"

The man looks confused as he starts muttering to himself "If its not a system lord, then who could it be? Cant be the Asguard, no reason to talk to them. Maybe the Tokra? No, they wouldnt talk to us to begin with. Wait, no it cant be...." His eyes widen at the sudden realization.
"Yep, its the Tauri, or as the group we are to make contact with call themselves, Stargate Command. They are sending one of their SG recon teams to meet with us, so dont be surprised if they come armed. Since the mission is really nothing more than a simple meet and greet, I thought it best to not bring soldiers along and instead just bring some city guards instead."
"Can we trust the Tauri to not just shoot us as soon as they walk thru the gate?" one of the female guards asks"
"Most of thir orders are usually just to explore and return fire only, so unless we shoot first, I wouldnt worry about it."
"Alright then, Lady Alice, what are your orders then?"
"Simple, bring standard gear minus ruck-packs, meaning just your Staff-Rifles and sidearms, and your police vests. We are not aiming for a fight, so you can just stand there and look ugly. I'll be the pretty one." Alice orders. One of the guards just smirks at the last bit.
"Yes Ma'am. One squad of human statues, coming right up" The squad leader says with a smile.
"Report to the gate by noon. Dismissed" Alice responds, slightly shaking her head while chuckling.

SGC Confrence Room, One hour prior to the Meeting
"This Mission is simple people, just get in, find out what their angle is, and see what they want from us." General Hammond says as he gives the rundown on their mission.
The team around the table double checking their gear, with Teal'c not bothering, since the only weapon he uses is his staff.
"MALP video feed shows what looks like a flat grass plain, and what looks like a small group of Jaffa with what looks like unique staff weapons and a lone woman in some kind of military uniform."
"Alright, 2 things. One, what do you mean by Unique, and what can we tell about this woman? Is she a Goa'uld or something" Daniel asks quizzicolly.
"Unique in that they look more human in design, almost like someone cut off half a staff and stuck a stock, pistol grip, and front grip and sights to make it a rifle of sorts. As for the woman, we dont know who she is, but we confirm that she is a leader of some kind. Not hard to tell, considering her uniform looks like someone stole a WW2 german officer's uniform but slapped bits from our country for the ranks" Hammond explains.
"Alright, am I the only feeling like we're walking into a trap or are we all in aggreance on this one?" O'neil exclaims, very annoyed.
"No, but if a goa'uld is offering a chance to talk then I say its worth a shot at least." Hammond responds.
"Alright then, lets get down to the gate and get this little meet and greet over with then" O'neil orders, and almost a hour after, the team was standing at the foot of the steps to the stargate. As the stargate opens, the team just looks at each other with a collective "Lets just get this shit over with" look and walks thru the gate with....
