SHADES OF GREY
SG-1 travels to Tollana to negotiate a trade. O'Neill becomes extremely
annoyed when the Tollans refuse to cooperate due to their fear that any
weaponry given to Earth would more likely be used on itself than to protect
against the Goa'uld. In an act that shocks the rest of his team, O'Neill steals a
Tollan device as they are departing back to Earth.
Upon hearing of Colonel
O'Neill's deed, an outraged General Hammond relieves O'Neill of his command. When the
Tollans pay a visit and announce that they intend to break all ties with Earth, Hammond has no
choice but to offer O'Neill an early retirement. Colonel Maybourne, hearing of O'Neill's
indiscretion, pays him a visit at his home to make him and interesting offer.
