Shen Xiaoyi
Summary
Shen Xiaoyi was the Chinese representative on the International Oversight Advisory. Note: the Chinese convention is to list a person's surname first, given name last. Shen was one of the delegation who visited the Gamma Site on a tour. While there, the facility was overrun by a scourge of alien bugs. Though she was injured during the escape, her group and their protection detail, SG-1, were rescued.
Character Biography
Shen Xiaoyi was a graduate of Beijing Foreign Studies University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. She was formerly an attaché to the Chinese mission in the United States. Ms. Shen later became the Chinese representative to the International Oversight Advisory. She expressed a great deal of admiration for Dr. Jackson's reputation. They exchanged a light conversation in Mandarin, possibly at Col. Mitchell's expense, until realizing he could also speak the language.
Shen expressed her government's frustration at the lack of technology shared by the United States military with regard to the Stargate Program. Too much was off limits. "Military" items were not subject to the protocols of the "Gate Alliance Treaty." Daniel made several attempts to discern her veiled comments as to what China's plans were regarding the Stargate program. She eventually sounded Daniel out on whether he would have been willing to join the Stargate Program if it had been in China's hands, rather than the United States'. He responded in the affirmative so long as the priority was exploration to benefit the planet as a whole. She cryptically responded: "I may hold you to that someday."
Shen, along with Mr. Chapman, Mr. LaPierre, and Mr. Woolsey, were escorted by SG-1 to the Gamma Site. Once there, the delegation was given a tour by the base commander, Col. Pearson, of some of the science labs, She took copious notes on the tour, and expressed her irritation that so many areas were deemed off-limits. She was present when the facility was overrun with alien insects designated as R75 that were later determined to be the latest weapon in the Priors' arsenal against the Milky Way.
Shen and the rest of her delegation were escorted towards the research outpost, ten kilometers away from the base, by SG-1 and two of Colonel Pearson's men. En route, they discovered the bugs had escaped the base and were now spreading across the area. They took shelter in a rocky cave. Shen was visibly frightened, but fought to control her panic. Later, SG-1 determined their only chance of survival was to reach the research outpost and try to contact the rescue ship, Odyssey when it reached orbit. Otherwise, if the insects did not get them, the poisonous payload Odyssey was likely to release would.
During the final sprint to the outpost, Shen broke her ankle in a fall down a steep incline. She limped into the building with Dr. Jackson's assistance. Lt. Col. Carter successfully boosted the communication signal, and both the delegation and SG-1 were beamed away before the scourge could overtake them. Shen took an indefinite leave from her position on the IOA due to her injury.
