Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5903124/2/It was their third day of exploration of the alien ruin on Mars. As she sat behind her desk and staring at the data being brought back on the alien ships, not to mention the find of what seemed to be a partially functional alien computer system, it was becoming clear that the information here would be eminently useful to Earth despite already having access to Ancient and Asgard technologies.
They had managed to copy the data from alien system on a pure machine code level, but translating everything into an understandable format would take time. Earth and the Stargate program had actually had it quite easy in terms of languages and being able to communicate with 'alien' cultures, since all of them were essentially human and the Goa'uld language had been a dominant force in the old Milky Way. Now they were confronted with what was essentially a 'true alien' civilization, which had no terrestrial basis in Earth history whatsoever.
They were now forced to return to the theoretical First Contact precepts devised by the Sagan Institute. The only true universal language was mathematics, and from that basis they were slowly brute-forcing the alien language with a combination of pure computer processing power and the Asgard Core.
