One day, while playing poker with the guards in the Gate Room, the Stargate suddenly activated, much to everyone's shock. Enraptured by the device's activation, Airman Carol Weterings ignored her colleagues's warning and cautiously approached the Gate. She was later grabbed by Apophis's First Prime, Teal'c of Chulak. Fearing hostile intent, Weterings's colleagues responded by firing back but the other guards were all tragically killed in the process.
