Historythe law of gravityWest is recruited to the SGC in August, 2003, by Major Hurst, around the same time as Lance Corporal MacGrimmon, Sergeant Markham, and Lieutenant Thompson.
The four of them form a temporary training team. Under the supervision of Captain Briggs, they are put to a series of tests on the Milky Way Alpha Site and offworld on other planets. During one of these, MacGrimmon is put in charge despite being a Lance Corporal, to test their ability to follow someone's orders regardless of rank. The training scenario involves Captain Briggs pretending to be a Goa'uld chasing them. Markham is knocked out by an in'tar round, and West is ordered to stay behind and guard him while MacGrimmon and Thompson push forward to disable an IED. Within three months of coming to the SGC, West is assigned to SG-9. |
