The Goa'uld invasion of Steveston, Oregon was an event that took place in 2002 during the Tau'ri-Goa'uld War.
Prelude[]
After Dr. Richard Flemming and Dr. Peter Stofer of Immunitech Research cloned a Goa'uld, there was a lab accident and Flemming was taken as a host and Stofer disappeared.[3]
Battle[]
Because the symbiote was immature they were only able to control the host while they were asleep. Flemming proceeded to infest the majority of the population of Steveston, Oregon and began building a ship to escape the planet. Flemming realized what was happening and contacted Major Samantha Carter but was run off the road and killed in a car crash. His body was removed and never found to cover it up. SG-1 minus Colonel Jack O'Neill traveled to Steveston and began investigating. They searched Flemming's house and accepted a package containing a syringe that was sent from Flemming. The next day, Jonas Quinn noticed several of the residents behaving strangely and that the shipyard had seen recent activity despite it's closure two years before. After breaking into the shipyard, they discovered the ship and realized the townspeople were infested with Goa'uld. SG-1 retrieved computer discs from the shipyard and Carter worked on decoding them, eventually discovering the truth about what was going on after breaking the encryption. That night, while Carter worked on the decryption, Teal'c and Jonas staked out the warehouse and were detained by NID Agents Cross and Singer. They explained that they have been monitoring the situation for three months and are waiting for the Goa'uld to complete the ship. At the hotel, Carter discovered the syringe contained an antibiotic designed to kill the symbiote and injected herself before the townspeople kidnapped her and implanted her with a symbiote. When Cross realized the situation was out of control he radioed a containment team, but Singer had been taken as a host and shot the three of them with a Zat'nik'tel. Luckily, Carter's symbiote died shortly after implantation and she was able to pretend to be a Goa'uld, learning that the townspeople, who infected Cross, intended to have him and Singer infect the NID with more symbiotes. Carter told Cross and Singer that she had been writing a report on her computer and sent them to get it before the containment team could arrive. She then claimed that Jonas and Teal'c needed to be killed, but actually used the zat she threatened them with to stun the townspeople holding them captive and left them for the containment team. Still pretending to be a Goa'uld, Carter confronted Cross and Singer with the idea that she infect the SGC with the symbiotes and then stunned them with her zat.[3]
Aftermath[]
Afterwards, the townspeople were treated with the antibiotic, killing the Goa'uld who would harmlessly break down in their bodies afterwards. The townspeople were told they were treated for a meningitis outbreak and the incomplete ship was taken to Area 51 for study.[3]
