It's kind of a cross between my own cool experience, Stargate, Star Wars, and Star Trek. Since I really don't know Star Trek that well, it's probably not going to work, but what the hey?

Captain Archer sat back in his chair on the bridge. "On screen." Immediately, the screen before him, which had previously shown only streaming stars, changed to show a man in red robes wearing a black headdress. "I'm Captain Johnathan Archer of...." With a flick of the man's wrists, he found himself staring down at Earth.

"I can't shake him!" Luke cried, desperately trying to escape the vessel following them out of the Maw.
 
"We've got a bigger problem, kid!" Han warned, pointing to the starboard side of the forward viewport. His eyes widened. He'd never had any urge to become so personal with a black hole.
 
A loud cheer echoed down the hall: "Yes!" It was soon followed by a new Jedi by the name of Corran Horn.  Just as he entered the cockpit, his jaw dropped. "Is that what I think it is?"
 
"Yeah," replied Han.
 
"Luke?"
 
The Jedi shook his head. "I'm doing all I can." His voice sounded strained. "The engines aren't doing much. I'm trying to use the Force to help pull us away."
 
"Your Force isn't helping much, kid!"
 
"Han, will you..." Just then, the rickety ship they had borrowed lost hull integrity, pulling all three out into space and nearer to the event horizon.

SG-1 sat in yet another briefing. This one focused on some significance of a special gem on PS9-356. Apparently, it might hold the key to safely removing symbiotes from their hosts. Jack really didn't care.
 
Just as he thought he couldn't take any more, he saw a bright, white light. He grinned, thanking Thor for his brilliant timing.

"...the Starship Enterprise." Archer stared. He was just in the Expanse. How could he be home already? He looked around, where he noticed three other people in the small room with him, floating weightless, as was he. A blonde woman floated at the other end of the module, and a graying man was by a small computer terminal. He heard a bark, whereupon he turned around to see his dog, Porthos.
 
The gray-haired man spun around, a gigantic grin on his face. "Hey, Carter!" Then he looked around again. "This isn't Thor's ship..."
 
She nodded. "No, sir, it isn't. I'm not entirely sure, but I think we're aboard the International Space Station."
 
Archer frowned. "The ISS? The space station built in the early 2000's?"
 
"Yeah....?"

"How did I get here?"

The graying man frowned. "Thor didn't beam you? Sure looked Asgard to me." He looked back to the other woman. "That look Asgard to you?"

She nodded. "Yes, sir."

"Who are you?" Archer questioned.

The man indicated himself. "I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill, and this," he said, pointing to the woman, "is Major Samantha Carter."

The captain nodded, extending a hand to shake the colonel's hand. "Captain Johnathan Archer of the Starship Enterprise."
