Goa'uld remote control

The Goa'uld remote control was a device of Goa'uld design.

Overview
These were palm sized machines which were capable of remotely activating another machine serving as a type of remote control. It was used to switch of the light room in the Goa'uld palace. The control was linked to the palace itself as it drew its power from the structure. If removed from that world, the battery charge slowly went dead and the only way to recharge it was by returning it to the palace.


 * Presumably, the remote was capable of being used on other machines.

History
Daniel Jackson uncovered a Goa'uld remote control after the exploration of a Goa'uld palace. At the time, he believed that it was a hand held computer that contained important information about the base. Whilst back at the SGC, he began to grow frustrated at being incapable of using the machine which symbolised his slow descent into withdrawal from the addictive effects of the palace.

Once SG-1 took Doctor Jackson back to the palace, he asked for General George Hammond for the Goa'uld machine once again in order to decipher a means of escaping the addictive effects of the palace that was effecting the team. When the device was sent to him, he asked Loran for help in deciphering it. It was then he discovered its true function and used it to switch the light room off.
