[a Borg scratches Data's flesh arm]
Lieutenant Commander Data: Ah!
Borg Queen: Is it becoming clear to you yet? Look at yourself, standing there, cradling the new flesh I've given you. If it means nothing to you, why protect it?
Lieutenant Commander Data: I... I am simply imitating the behavior of humans.
Borg Queen: You're becoming more human all the time, Data; now you're learning how to lie.
Lieutenant Commander Data: My programming was not designed to process these sensations.
Borg Queen: Then tear the skin from your limb as you would a defective circuit.

Daniel Jackson (Stargate)
Daniel Jackson, Ph.D, is a fictional character in the Canadian-American military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, which is about a military team exploring the galaxy via a network of alien transportation devices. Daniel Jackson is first introduced in the 1994 film Stargate, and is played by James Spader. In the ensuing television series the character is played by Michael Shanks. Daniel Jackson is a civilian archeologist and linguist, who works with the Stargate military project and therefore holds no military ranking. After the kidnapping of his wife Sha're in "Children of the Gods", Jackson joins SG-1 to rescue her.
In his introduction in the film Stargate, the character of Daniel is introduced in a scene in which he is presenting a lecture at an academic seminar. However, he finds little acceptance there of his theory that the Pyramids of Giza are much older than they are thought to be. An aged woman named Catherine Langford approaches him to offer him a job deciphering the cover-stones of a device found in Egypt. Jackson uses his knowledge of ancient Egyptian languages to make the device, named the Stargate, function.

Children of the Gods
"Children of the Gods (Part 1 & 2)" is the pilot episode of the military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1.
Plot
Part 1
One year previously, in the events of the movie Stargate, Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) led a team through the Stargate to the planet Abydos. After killing the System Lord Ra (Jaye Davidson) by rigging a nuclear bomb onto his ship as it left Abydos, O'Neill returned to Earth with two survivors of his team, leaving behind Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader), who remained with his new love Sha're (Mili Avital; called Sha'uri in the movie) and her brother Skaara (Alexis Cruz).
In the present, Apophis and his Jaffa enter through the Stargate, killing several people and kidnapping a female airman. Soon after this event, O'Neill (now played by Richard Dean Anderson) is re-called to Cheyenne Mountain by Major General George Hammond (Don S. Davis). He is interrogated, along with his former teammates Louis Ferretti (Brent Stait) and Charles Kawalsky (Jay Acovone), about their mission to Abydos. When they refuse to reveal anything other than what is in their reports, General Hammond chooses to send a nuclear bomb through the Stargate to Abydos, believing that the aliens could only have come from Abydos and hoping to destroy whoever came through.
With this threat hanging over his head, O'Neill reveals that he had lied about using the bomb to destroy Abydos. He admits that while the alien Ra was killed, the people of Abydos are still alive, with Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) living among them. After talking to his superiors, Hammond allows O'Neill to send a tissue box through the Stargate. The box is returned, proving that Jackson is alive and well, O'Neill is recalled to active duty, regains his rank of Colonel and is given permission to take a team through the Stargate to Abydos to investigate the alien invaders. A team is assembled which includes O'Neill, Kawalsky, Ferretti, and Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), along with several others. When the team arrives, they find a group of Earth weaponry-armed Abydonians waiting for them.
Daniel leads O'Neill, Kawalsky, and Carter to a large cavernous room that has innumerable hieroglyphs on the walls. Jackson reveals that he believes that the hieroglyphs of the cartouche match the various symbols on the Stargate, leading him to believe that the walls are actually a map of the coordinates of a vast network of Stargates across the galaxy. While O'Neill and the others are gone, the Abydos Stargate is opened and the camp is attacked by the same invaders that attacked Earth earlier in the episode. The leader's eyes glow, leading many of the survivors to believe that he was Ra. The invaders take Sha're (Vaitiare Bandera replacing Avital) and Skaara with them. Determined to save his wife and brother-in-law, Daniel accompanies O'Neill and his team back to Earth. When the injured Ferretti is able to reveal the symbols that the invaders used to leave Abydos, General Hammond is given permission by the President to form nine teams who will use the Stargate to gather information about threats to Earth. O'Neill is given command of SG-1, with Carter as his second-in-command and Jackson accompanying him, due to his determination to find his kidnapped wife. Kawalsky is given command of SG-2.
Part 2
O'Neill with his SG-1 and 2 leaves for another planet. SG-1 forges ahead, they meet a group of monks who escort them to the nearby town of Chulak. During a meal they find out that Sha're has been infested by a Goa'uld, when Jackson runs to her they are taken prisoners.
In the prison the team discovers Skaara, Jackson explains that it was not Ra who attacked them, but Apophis, the Egyptian serpent god of night. Before Skaara and the team can escape, Apophis and the possessed Sha're enter with several guards. Several serpent guards come forth and begin to pick people out of the crowd of prisoners who will become hosts to the children of the Gods.
