Ch: 10 part 1
Chapter 10- 1997 New Adventures Begin Season 1
It was now 1997 and Harry and the girls were all living in CS to be close to Sam. She was still working for the US government. All of the girls had completed their respective degree programs. All except Sam worked for Star Enterprises. Most of Harry's time was spent researching for the company, running the company, or running interference in Britain with the wizards.
Harry still felt like he had to hold the wizarding world's hand. If Harry wasn't able to create golems it would have been a serious headache. Harry was planning on proposing to the women on their next vacation in the tropics. Harry already had the rings picked out and enchanted. They were portkeys capable of taking the girls to any of the properties Harry owned. They also would forge a mental bond between all of the women and Harry.
The project that Harry gave to the computer engineer a few years ago to create a computer using modified wizard portrait spells finally came to fruition about 3 months ago. He modeled the computer after Harry's four ladies. It was tricky to get a model of Sam without her knowing but they cast the spells when she was asleep. The engineer was able to embed the computer in a pocket dimension in a watch. It had a connection to the pnet which could access the regular internet from just about anywhere.
Harry called his watch Alice after his godmother. He didn't have her consciousness as a component but he couldn't think of a name with all four of his girl's names combined. Harry could mentally interface with Alice or verbally. It could project a holographic screen in a frequency that only his energy sight could pick up. Alice could access the entire internet and use every computer in the world if she needed extra computing power. This was very unlikely though considering it was like having four super smart geniuses at Harry's beck and call.
Four super smart geniuses that could access their own subconscious minds. The subconscious was a powerful tool. Harry was brought out of his thoughts by Alice alerting him that the pnet was picking up the biggest energy disturbance that Harry had ever heard of on the magical energy spectrum. What surprised Harry even more was that it was originating in CS.
Harry pinpointed the exact location and was disturbed to see that it was the air force base that Sam was currently at. She left on an away mission earlier this morning. Harry was worried that the mundane government was doing research that would allow them to detect the magical world. He wasn't worried about an attack because Harry had given Sam a panic button that he told her would alert Harry to her being in trouble. What he didn't add was that it would also portkey her to a very heavily warded room near Harry's lab while it alerted him (should she be within portkey range, which was not extra planetary).
Harry decided that he needed to investigate this himself. To this day he always carried his 2 wands, sword, knife, and trunk. The trunk was always kept up to date in food stock, potions ingredients stock, and ready made potions. Harry never knew when he would need a place to stay.
Harry was wondering if this disturbance had happened a few days ago too, because the satellite over CS had been damaged by a micro meteorite and needed to be repaired. Sam had already been at the base 2 days ago when the satellite was down so Harry wouldn't have detected the disturbance. The satellite was just brought back up this morning. A lot can happen when the satellite was offline for 2 days.
It took Harry an hour to get on base and down to the level where all of the activity seemed to be centered around. Harry was invisible and had heavy notice me not charms on himself but he still couldn't walk into anybody. There were also a lot of keycard checkpoints that he had to wait for somebody to pass because he didn't want to give away his presence by having Alice do it.
When he got to the level with all the activity he now understood why Sam was so excited and why there was so much activity. There was a giant metal ring. What Harry could sense about the ring was two very important facts. The first was that it was the most advanced piece of technology that Harry had ever heard of. When he tried to mentally interface with it he realized that it would be a long time before he could control this device.
The second fact was that it was made of a material that could channel the magical energy that Harry and every other magical being used. Harry made his way up to what appeared to be a conference room overlooking the ring room. Harry found a bald man doing paperwork at his desk who by the ranking on his shirt was apparently a general.
Harry stood in the corner of the room and started using telepathy on the man to figure out what the hell was going on. Apparently 2 days ago a group of aliens came through the ring that the air force called the stargate. The aliens killed a bunch of air men and took a woman with them.
A team that Sam just happened to be a member of then went on a mission earlier this morning to the planet Abydos that was visited back in 1994. Then about an hour ago Sam and her team went on to another planet on a rescue mission for the wife and brother in law of a Dr. Daniel Jackson along with the captured air force woman. That was the situation as they knew it now.
Harry needed to act now to deal with this situation. It figures the US government would hide something like this from the other countries. Harry knew this couldn't get out because of the fact that the stargate was made of a material that could channel magical energy. Harry was relieved that from the memories of this general Hammond that none of the scientists could reproduce the material.
Harry hit Hammond with a sleeping charm and proceeded to search the man's desk for all the information he could find related to the Stargate program. Harry glanced over all of the relevant documents. Harry also instructed Alice to hack the pentagon and find any and all information available pertaining to the stargate program. One really nice feature about Alice was that no firewall on earth could stop her, at least none yet.
Harry also instructed his private anti grav jet to take off for the UK. One downside to traveling as a mundane was that he couldn't just appear in different countries without dealing with customs. He had Alice schedule an immediate appointment with the new British PM. One of the perks of being a multibillionaire genius who won the Nobel Prize was that it got you in certain doors rather quickly.
They could apparently fit him in later this afternoon. The jet had a golem to act as him during flights. He would just shadow travel over when they got through customs. No reason for him to have to sit through a long flight. When Harry was finished in Hammond's office he applied an invisible runic array to the conference room and Hammond's office. The array was a neat invention that allowed Harry to observe conversations in a room, both audio and visual.
It also recorded the data on a computer that was housed at Star. The array only activated when there were people talking in a room so that the array wasn't recording useless information. Alice could filter out the mundane conversations for him. Harry then went back to Star and informed Hermione, Nym, and Fleur what was going on and what he was about to go do. They agreed with him and told him their wishes.
Later that afternoon, after the golem cleared customs, Harry was waiting to start his meeting with the new PM Tony Blair. Harry had only met the man once but generally found him agreeable. When Harry was ushered into the man's office he wandlessly cast an illusion over the wizarding portrait that projected an image to the portrait that normal everyday activity was occurring.
Harry greeted Tony and then got down to business. "Tony I assume you have been briefed on the other British Minister." At Tony's startled look at Harry's knowledge of the wizarding world Harry continued. "You don't get to where I do with out detecting advanced physics technologies
in the world." "Yes that's right, it isn't actually magic." "It's just really advanced physics but don't tell them that."
Tony looked relieved at that bit of information. "The reason I brought them up is because I just erected a hologram around the portrait over there that will make it think only ordinary things are going on in here." Harry passed him a remote control that he tied the illusion to. "That control will turn the hologram on or off whenever you want." "I suggest doing so whenever this subject I'm going to tell you about shows up."
"I'm only going to ask you for one thing for bringing this to your attention but we'll get to that in a few minutes." "As we speak a team of American air force officers is on a mission to rescue some captured people and assess a threat on the other side of the galaxy." "They accomplished this feat by means of an artificial wormhole generator that they call the stargate."
Harry passed him a copy of the pertinent top secret documents that he had liberated from the SGC and the pentagon. Alice had a spell generator built in that allowed her to conjure the documents from her files and Harry's memories. Alice just informed Harry that the team had returned to earth and was debriefing in the conference room.
"They have apparently encountered a hostile alien race called the Goauld." "This being apparently is able to burrow into the neck of a human and take control of the person's body." The PM blanched at that statement. "I still am getting updates as we speak of the situation." Harry tapped his ear to give the impression that he had an earpiece in.
"The United States plans to explore the galaxy using the stargate network by forming teams to continue the exploration." "I am sure I can get myself on the teams if I wanted to by offering my services as a genius but it would be a lot easier to do if I had the backing of the British government." "I don't think the US has the right to go start wars in the name of earth without consulting more of earth's government." "They are currently forming 12 teams."
"My proposition is that the UK picks up half the cost and put half their people in as team members and base personnel." "Their current projected budget is 7 billion but 1/7th of that is power consumption alone." "I will install a power generator in the base that will eliminate that cost." "I'm sure there are other areas where I can help them cut costs with my technologies."
The PM sat for a while thinking over the proposal. Finally he agreed and asked what Harry wanted for bringing the information to his attention. "I simply want to be on SG-1 and have 2 of my people on SG-2." The PM immediately agreed. "Sir I have another gift for you that I think you'll like very much."
Harry pulled a mirror out of his pocket that he had just conjured. He wandlessly hit it with the charms for communication. "This is a telephone except that it does video as well as audio." "It's voice activated, so all you have to do is say my name or the US presidents whom I will give
one too when I go to meet him." Once the mirror was set up and they talked over what to arrange with the president Harry took his leave and sent his jet back to the US.
He shadow traveled back to Star and informed the girls what had happened. Hermione told him she wanted to stay at Star and research there solutions to problems that arose as a result of gate travel. Therefore the 2 spots on SG-2 were for Fleur and Nym.
When Harry estimated that he had allowed sufficient time for his jet to get to Washington he himself then teleported to the city. He was promptly given a meeting thanks to the PM calling ahead to organize it. Harry gave the US president the same remote to control an illusion over his wizard portrait. He was pleased and even more so when Harry set up the mirror for him. Once the conference was started Harry and the PM started to deal with the situation.
The president quickly realized he needed to make peace or he was going to cause a world war. He agreed to the proposition when he realized he would save more than 3 and a half billion dollars a year plus would have more support if the secret ever came out. The fact that he would have the man the world thought of as the next Einstein to help with problems was certainly easier to swallow.
The president called up Hammond and explained that James Evans would be the new fifth member of SG-1 while all the other teams would be half British. Alice had been informing Harry of the problem with one of their people being infected by a Goauld parasite. They were currently in an operation to try to remove it.
By the time Harry's plane got back to CS he had been back for a few hours relaxing from his trying day so far. Harry immediately headed on over to the base and made his way down to the gate level for his official tour. Harry was waiting in the gate room for his tour guide when the gate activated. Then came in the man who Alice reported from the conference room video was a major Charles Kowalski.
He was the one who was recently infected with a Goauld parasite. Judging from the man's reactions and behavior the operation to remove it wasn't too successful. The man charged Harry full on. Harry started fighting the man hand to hand. Apparently this Goauld was able to enhance the man's strength. Harry was glad for his dragon strength or he would probably be getting his ass kicked right now. Harry decided to end it before somebody else intervened.
He quickly positioned himself behind the man and made it look like he hit a pressure point on the man's neck when he actually channeled a small wandless stunner through his finger tip into the man's neck. He dropped like a puppet with his strings cut. A security team soon showed up to take the man away.
Just then Sam walked into the room along with her team and Hammond. Sam did a double take when she saw him. "James!" "What are you doing here?" "Hi honey nice to see you too." She
blushed a bit so Harry went on to explain. "Well it seems I'm the newest member of SG-1." General Hammond then took everybody up to the conference room where he briefed them on the changes with the British members.
"James what generator do you have that could completely power this place," Sam asked. "Well Sam I might tell you later at home but everybody might just want to get used to hearing Star Enterprises proprietary technology." "Now as for your sick major I believe we have a treatment at Star that will fix him right up." General Hammond quickly agreed to try the treatment.
The major was transported to Star. Harry used a medical diagnostic charm to locate the portion of the parasite still in the man's brain. Apparently the creature could survive even though a good portion of it's body was detached. It apparently manipulated brain chemistry to overwrite it's memories into the major's brain. Harry used telepathy to erase the Goauld memories.
Harry used some healing charms to speed up his recovery time. Harry and the major drove back over to the base where they were met with a warm welcome after Harry assured everybody that the major was completely recovered. SG-1's leader, Colonel O'Neill, appeared to warm up to James after saving his best friend's life.
That night's discussion at home was one of the hardest of Harry's life. Sam appeared upset at first at all that Harry hadn't told her about but eventually got over it when she realized all that she hadn't told him. She was most upset about the part of him being a ten year old when they first had sex. He then explained about it being ok because he was a different species. He also pointed out that he was older because of so much time spent within a time dilation field.
She agreed and then got quickly distracted by the time dilation field and all of the other technology that Harry started showing her. The next day Harry had the girls draw straws with varying lengths to see who went first. He then took each one of them into a time dilation field for about an hour which was a little over a day inside the field. He had prepared the most romantic setting he could inside the field where he proposed to each girl.
He was overjoyed when he was finished and all four ladies had accepted. He explained about the enchantments on the rings. Harry gave all of the ladies a watch like Alice with a personality tailored after himself. He also gave Sam a special trunk that he had been working on for the last several years. It was custom made for her so that she could safely operate everything inside.
Her watch also had a small spell generator that would be able to cast most of the Hogwarts spells for her. It followed her mental commands. That technology was only going for Sam for now. There was no way the world was ready for it to go elsewhere. Harry and the girls all got wizarding tents to use instead of their SGC issued gear. If they were going to explore they would do it in style.
As soon as he informed the British PM about his plan to provide free power to the SGC Alice had messaged the manufacturing division of Star to start producing 5 of the power modules that Harry used to power all Star Enterprises facilities. They drew power from the magical energy field and converted it to electricity. It would take 5 of them spread throughout the base to provide enough power.
When Harry and the girls went into the base for the mission debriefings he brought the modules and showed the base technicians how to hook them up. The first planet that SG-1 ended up going to had a people that were of apparent Mongol decent. They apparently had a problem with women showing their faces or speaking in public. Harry was about to kill them for threatening to kill Sam when the rest of the team managed to calm them down because they saved one of the local's lives.
When Sam was properly attired according to the local custom Harry had to suppress a laugh. Thanks to Harry's continued efforts over the years Sam knew that she was hot. She knew this outfit brought out her beauty but damn if she hated male chauvinism. They were staying in their own personal tent which included an extensive set of wards. Harry showed Sam how to use the spell generator to generate a hologram of the hard light variety over her normal clothes to make it look like she was wearing the dress.
Later on that night when Harry was attending a celebration that Sam wasn't invited to he felt somebody trying to breach the harmful intent wards. They couldn't find the tent because they meant to do it's occupant harm. Harry snuck back over to the tent and observed the boy they had saved earlier wandering around. Harry used telepathy on him to find out why he was trying to harm Sam.
He found that the boy was in love with the daughter of a rival chieftain. He wanted to sell Sam to the man to buy the man's daughter. The fact that Harry knew how love made you do crazy things was the only thing that kept Harry from obliterating the boy from existence. Harry went into the tent and explained the situation to Sam. He decided to help the boy the next day.
The kid had given up last night after a long time of not being able to find the tent. Harry tracked him down the next morning and told him he would help him. Sam's computer watch that she had creatively named Harry would be able to easily generate a hologram of Harry being there while he was away helping the boy. They traveled to the camp of the rival chieftain.
Harry was able to find out about an old custom that if anybody managed to defeat the chieftain in a challenged combat that he would become the new chieftain. Harry told the boy to make the challenge and Harry would take care of the rest. Harry told him to claim that he was a wizard.
During the combat as soon as the boy claimed he was a wizard and pointed towards his rival Harry used his special handgun to shoot the rival chieftain in the head. The conjured bullet
would disappear later. Harry didn't feel bad shooting one of these people when they treated women like they did. They raped them, beat them, killed them, and sold them into slavery.
Harry made the boy promise that he would never treat a woman poorly again. He told him if he did he would drop dead where he stood. After Harry's display of power the boy was quick to agree.
After that mission was over SG-1 had managed to procure a sample of the anesthesia the Mongol descendents used. If Harry had discretely acquired an extra sample that Star could study no one was the wiser. It was amazing how much one could buy easily in less advanced cultures with spare galleons. Harry decided to start carrying more gold with him on missions.
On the next mission that SG-1 went on they encountered a civilization that appeared to be afflicted by a plague that devolved their people into a caveman like state. Making use of Sam's mental link with himself he asked her to hold an illusion using the spell generator in her watch to make it appear that Harry was still there. Since the consciousness for the computer watch was modeled after Harry and had all of his memories it would be able to simulate him easily.
Harry used his time to confound several of the local population so that he could retrieve blood samples. He then shadow traveled back to the forest where they encountered the devolved people. He used his dragon senses to track down several of the infected and using stunners collected more blood samples which he stored in a biohazard containment unit he kept in his portable lab in his trunk.
By the time Harry had returned to the group they were making their way back to the gate to return to earth. The Goauld they had come looking for apparently wasn't there and hadn't been for a great many years.
When Harry got back to earth he sent a mental message to Hermione about the blood samples so that she could retrieve them to have the medical lab look for a cure. The samples had the remote transportation rune that allowed Harry to mentally summon most of his things. They required a password which Harry gave Hermione to incant when she summoned them.
During their debriefing one of the marines that had traveled to the planet with them went berserk and tried to attack Tealc. Tealc easily subdued the man but from the man's mental state Harry started to suspect he might have contracted the disease.
It was confirmed minutes later when two men who were fighting fell out of the conference room to the floor of the gate room. They were both badly injured and would be dead within minutes. Harry summoned 2 ptel injections from his trunk where he kept a good sized supply of the injections for emergencies. The men's physical wounds immediately started to heal and within a minute were completely gone.
When Harry was questioned about what was in the injections he gave the men later by Dr. Frasier and Hammond he told them it was a proprietary drug developed by Star. Unfortunately due to certain parties in the world it could not be distributed to the general population.
Later in the day when Harry was in the shower room taking a shower Sam who had apparently contracted the disease jumped him. She apparently wanted to mate with him. What followed was one of the most enjoyable sessions of sex with Sam he had ever enjoyed. It was quite rough but Sam didn't seem to care and Harry's draconic physiology kept him from even being bruised.
Afterwards Harry used Hufflepuff's healing device to try to cure her of the disease. It took quite a lot out of him but it worked. It also took care of any injuries she had from the rough sex. Soon the base was dealing with a mass amount of cases of the infected. By having Alice access all of the medical files of all of the base personnel and using the data provided from the blood samples analyzed by Star Alice concluded that the uninfected people, besides Sam, Harry, Fleur, Nym, and a few other people all took heavy antihistamines.
Harry informed Dr. Frasier of this fact who promptly began treating all of the infected. Harry explained figuring it out by saying he cross referenced all of the medical files. It was true; he just omitted the part about the blood samples. They went back to the planet the next day with tranquilizers guns of the antihistamine to cure the infected or touched as they were called.
After that day new protocols were put into place at the SGC. They basically required all personnel to carry hazmat gear offworld in case of such troubles again. Harry took it a step further. He was able to devise a personal ward that filtered all air that went through it for dangerous contaminates. It would block harmful levels of radiation and filter out infectious diseases. It would also alert the wearer's computer watch to the fact that it was filtering something harmful.
Harry tied Sam's to the spell generator in her watch. It was now standard protocol for anybody in Harry's in the know group to use this shield at all times. It was also standard protocol for any Star employee to use the ward. The ones who didn't have the watch computer would be alerted by a slight buzzing on an enchanted watch they wore. It was decided that all Star employees and their families used the ward all the time. It meant a significant decrease at the Star hospital with sick people.
Hermione's parents had long since moved to Star and started jobs in the medical research division. They were the only other mundanes that had the computer watch technology with spell generators. They too had the ward that was dubbed the infection ward tied to their watches.
Harry added the infection ward to the already large ward scheme on all Star Enterprises facilities. It would protect against radiation from mundane nuclear weapons. Harry found that the computer watches could now create more complex new spells and wards. It would take them
forever to do if Harry hadn't given them a permanent link to processing hardware that was constantly kept under a time dilation field.
On their next mission through the gate Harry was glad for the infection wards radiation shielding properties. The planet was one whose sun put out much more harmful radiation levels than most stars did. They were there to retrieve a missing team that failed to check in. The leader of the team was a guy who Sam was once engaged too before she met Harry, a captain named Jonas.
They encountered a member of the team named Connor on their way to the teams last known location. He informed them of how Jonas had gone insane and was lording it over the local populace as a god. They came across the team's anthropologist who Connor had burned to ash. Harry couldn't bring him back with conventional means. He wasn't ready to reveal his other methods of bringing the man named Franks back.
The other method was using time travel. Harry had used his status in the wizarding world to acquire a time turner and had his people study the technology. They had been able to replicate the field that the time turner created. It was included in Alice's capabilities to be able to generate the field. The department was still studying the technology but it would probably be many years before they made any significant progress beyond being able to go back longer than a week.
Thankfully Franks, the anthropologist, didn't have any family left according to Alice's copy of the personnel files. Harry had Sam generate what was becoming the standard illusion for when he needed to get away and proceeded to travel back to the point a few minutes before Franks was killed, the time of which he took from Connor's mind. Harry created a golem to take Franks place.
He then basically took Franks aside and gave him a choice. He could change his identity to a new one that Harry would provide for him and take a job at Star or he could go back to the fate that would have happened to him before Harry decided to save him. Obviously the man agreed so Harry put him into an enchanted sleep and placed him in his trunk until he got back to earth. The man would be spelled to make sure he told none of Harry's or Star's secrets. He would never be able to go back to his old life but at least he was alive.
Harry then waited invisible until SG-1 came and examined the ashes of the golem and his other self left before replacing the illusion. From the research that was done on time travel it appeared that there was a time stream that Franks did die in but this now wasn't one of them thanks to Harry's meddling with time. That event caused a diverging alternate reality.
The team soon bunked down for the night. Harry placed up proximity wards in addition to Tealc's placing electronic equivalents. Sometime in the night the wards went off altering Harry that they were under attack. The group managed to ward off the attackers by releasing a barrage of gunfire and Tealc firing off a staff blast. Connor was hit with a tranquilizer dart and the attackers tried to silently spirit him away but Harry intervened.
Their darts just bounced off his draconic skin and he fought them off with hand to hand. The next morning Connor was awake and fine so the team moved out to find Jonas and his team. They arrived at the indigenous people's camp for lack of a better description to find that the people were being worked to death in order to build a temple for the false god Jonas.
O'Neill went off to scout out the surroundings. Sam eventually decided to go talk to Jonas when one of Jonas team started beating one of the workers. Harry claimed that he was going to stealthily follow Sam to keep her out of trouble to the rest of the team. As soon as he was out of their sight he turned invisible and followed Sam.
Harry mentally cheered Sam on when she decked the slave labor enforcer. When she was taken to Jonas Harry listened as the insane man ranted about his master plan to take the people out of squalor. The man was clearly insane. Harry used telepathy on the man and discovered the man's plan to use a Goauld device that was left behind that apparently did much the same thing that the infection shield did in regards to radiation.
Harry had heard enough. He snuck up on the guards and put them all to sleep with a silent sleeping charm. He used the incarcerous spell on all of the members of Jonas team that had helped enforce the enslavement of the people. He snuck back up on a scene where Sam had a gun pointed at Jonas and he seemed to be taunting her to shoot him. Harry none too gently proceeded to beat the shit out of the insane man until he was unconscious.
A quick incarcerous charm later and Sam and Harry were looking over the device. The device apparently filtered the light that got through to non harmful levels. It appeared to do it using the element the gate was made out of for power. This was the same method that Harry had observed the DHDs (dial home devices) used. Harry suspected that it was a design the Goauld had scavenged from the gate builder race.
Harry was convinced the stargate network was built by a race far more advanced than the Goauld. The gate technology was truly incredible. Such a race wouldn't have to result to tactics that the Goauld used to get what they wanted. Contacting the rest of SG-1 they found out that the rest of the team had not been just sitting around.
Tealc knew about the device of which the system required 2 to work. Daniel, Tealc, and a native had located the second device. Relations between the locals and earth were somewhat repaired when they showed the locals how to work the light shield devices. The native that helped Tealc and Daniel was a big help in repairing relations. The people were further grateful when Harry used a ptel injection on all of the men who were tied to the stakes in the sun. They all made a very quick complete recovery.
With the promise of the SGC's immediate aid with medical supplies and food along with teachers to help them rebuild their society to greater levels than before SG-1 headed through the
gate back to earth along with the captured team members and Connor. When Harry got back he delegated one of his people at Star to set Franks up with a new life and job.
On the next planet that the team traveled to they encountered yellow sand and pits filled with broken crystals. Harry's energy senses screamed at him that there was serious energy in the area. When he caught Colonel O'Neill about to touch one of the crystals Harry stopped him and berated the hell out of the man for his stupidity. He then told him about some sensor readings that he had taken that showed that touching that crystal would have likely killed him.
Alice had been able to pinpoint the energy to the crystal. It appeared that she could communicate with the energy in the crystal. It appeared to be an energy being like himself only it contained it's consciousness in an immobile crystal. Soon with some coaxing from Alice the crystal formed a face with which it explained the story of why it hid.
Apparently the Goauld had come and destroyed all of the crystals beings when one of the Goauld was killed from energy overload. They were now afraid to show themselves to outsiders. Apparently there weren't many crystals left and it would take time for them to grow their numbers again. The being was lonely. This part of the explanation was left out from the others ears.
Only Sam and Harry could hear because of their watches. The being contained the same energy that they used but just in a different form. When O'Neill decided that the team should head back to earth because there wasn't anything else on the planet Harry decided to leave a golem behind to keep the beings company and to study them. The communications technology that used the energy that magical beings used to transmit information could relay data quickly from anywhere in the galaxy to anywhere else in the galaxy.
The golem could send it's findings back to earth. The golem was pretty much a copy of Harry except it didn't need to eat, sleep, or do many other things Harry had to do to survive. It also had the Harry's fighting skills in hand to hand, minus any draconic traits Harry had. Never the less it was a formidable opponent because it had it's own enhanced strength and speed.
It would defend the crystal beings from further attack and notify Harry in that eventuality. Harry had decided to start carrying spare golems around for situations like this in his trunk after his first mission.
It was during the break between missions that Harry and the girls were married. There was a mundane ceremony privately held where friends from the SGC were invited. This included Hammond, O'Neill, Tealc, Daniel, and Dr. Frasier who the girls had become good friends with. There were also the employees of Star Enterprises. This was considered a Star Enterprises secret so the ceremony was never made public.
In the wizarding world all of the women became Mrs. Potter. In the mundane world they became Mrs. Evans. The wizarding records were sealed so that Harry's mundane identity was kept secret. It was perfectly ok for a lord to marry that many women in the wizarding world. It was doable in the mundane world in England thanks to Harry being very good friends with the queen. He personally briefed her on the Stargate program and kept her informed.
She apparently thought he was charming and he had taken a liking to her. Naturally she received wedding pictures. Their honey moon was six months in a time dilation field in a pocket dimension that Harry had crafted to look like a tropical island. It was quite realistic. They had house elves taking care of all their needs. The girls loved it. After that it was decided that each wife would get one Sunday a month in the time dilation field with Harry, which would be a month on the inside of the field. This allowed Harry to always be caught up on his work. After all it would be awfully hard to have sex for a month straight, although they put up a good effort.
Their next mission was prompted when a visiting government official wanted advanced technology and Tealc told him where to find some. The description of invisibility caused Harry to worry about it being another magical race. He decided that from the abilities of wizards to detect magic performed he would most likely look like a normal mundane if he kept his illusion ward up and didn't perform any active magic.
Assuming they didn't detect his pocket dimension within his trunk and watch immediately, which was highly unlikely, they probably wouldn't detect it at all unless they knew to look for it. This meant that magic could be done in the trunk and within the pocket dimension that housed his spell generator. Both were shielded from the flow of energy between the inside and outside except through designated places, like the spell generators focal point.
This was decided to be the new standard procedure for Harry and the SG team member girls on planets that had possible indications of magical energy capable worlds. If the Goauld knew the true threat of earth they would attack it immediately and with great force. They would also want wizard hosts, although Harry suspected that if a Goauld tried to take a wizard host the wizards magic would fight back and kill the Goauld.
As far as a Goauld's capabilities against magic went, they couldn't perform it. From Kowalski Harry determined that the Goauld could draw and channel energy from the naquadah in their blood but it was of a nuclear type. They could channel it through their technology to have certain effects. This was what gave them their godlike powers.
Harry didn't want to try telepathy on an awake and active Goauld symbiote. Harry suspected they could sense it through the changes in brain chemistry and therefore counter it. Tealc's mind appeared to be impenetrable to telepathy when he was in his unique state of mediation. That was what caused Harry to start instructing Sam in the meditation techniques along with occlumency. She already had mind wards on her but it never hurt to be safe.
When they got to the world with the invisible flying creature the gate disappeared. The team decided to continue searching for the creature. When they came upon it Harry observed what appeared to be a disillusionment charm on the creature. Soon they discovered that Apophis was on the planet hunting the creature.
O'Neill and the rest planned an ambush that Harry had a bad feeling about. So when it came time for the ambush Harry stayed right beside Sam to keep her safe. When Apophis showed he had a personal energy shield and Harry knew the ambush was a bust. When Jack and Daniel were killed Harry told Sam to wait for Tealc to get hit and then they would take them into his trunk and revive them with some quick necromantic spells.
But Harry saw a chance when Apophis caught a staff weapon from one of his Jaffa. Apparently the shield didn't stop lower kinetic energy objects. Harry through his Slytherin dagger at the Goauld and cut off the hand that held the shield and hand device. Apophis' escape was covered by fire from his remaining Jaffa as he fled without his hand.
The bodies of those who had fallen had disappeared. Apophis' hand was dissolving under the venoms and acids imbued into the dagger. Harry discreetly retrieved his dagger and the hand device for later study. From what Harry had learned from Tealc about Goauld he thought Apophis might survive the venom in his blood if he were to get to a sarcophagus. Luckily for them he would be using all of the Goauld healing power until then just staying alive.
Harry's priority was retrieving Jack and Daniel before they were past the point that he could revive them without messing with time. It would be a shame for them to have to work for Star under a new identity. Tealc and Harry were able to track them down pretty quickly thanks to Harry's sense of smell.
They found them apparently already revived in huts built by a family of forest dwelling beings. These beings could manipulate the energy that magical beings used. Harry was weary about revealing himself for what he was to any other magical race. They could apparently use necromancy to great effect. They were also communicating with each other using telepathy. They must not have realized that Harry could sense it. He refrained from communicating with Sam or Alice while around them while he verbally told Sam when they were alone to do the same with her computer watch.
When the beings apparently learned to speak English very quickly Harry felt validated that he needed to know more before revealing himself to them as a magical being. They were obviously very intelligent. They then learned about Shackle, a Jaffa that Tealc used to lead, being revived in another hut.
Harry walked far enough away from the hut to communicate with Alice without being heard verbally. He had her conjure a ring and enchant it with a few spells. The ring wouldn't be noticed by Shackle. As soon as he went through the gate next time a powerful obliviate spell
would hit anybody within a ten meter radius of him. It would replace their memories with those of a fruitless search where they found nothing of interest on this planet. The only thing of interest that happened to them on this journey that they would remember would be Apophis getting his hand bitten off by a very venomous creature. Then a tracking charm would activate that would tell Harry wherever Shackle was in the galaxy.
This would allow him to track Apophis thanks to Shackle being in Apophis personal guard. Harry unfortunately couldn't tell the rest of SG-1 besides Sam about the tracking without revealing things he was unwilling to reveal.
A little while after Harry slipped the ring on the unconscious Shackle's finger he escaped, knifing Tealc and Lya, one of the Nox women, in the process. Tealc would heal by his symbiote soon enough. Lya on the other hand was unconscious and would soon bleed to death. Harry quickly injected her with ptel before anybody else could move.
The Nox were amazed at her nearly instant recovery. The Nox then wanted SG-1 to leave for now. O'Neill was against it stating that he wanted to stay and protect the Nox from the Goauld. Harry took him aside and told him that he had dealt with Shackle and Apophis and they needed to leave right now. Jack bowed to Harry's requests. O'Neill was definitely smarter than he let on. He had good instincts on what course of action to follow when it really counted.
When they were at the gate waiting to go through Harry gave the Nox several samples of ptel as a first trading opportunity. To appease the worry of SG-1 for the Nox they showed the team a great floating city. Harry felt vindicated that they were right in leaving. The Nox could take care of themselves. They were invited back as long as they didn't bring weapons. Harry had a feeling that they would be more interested after they analyzed ptel.
When they got back to the SGC Harry simply told the rest of the team that he had injected Shackle with a slow acting poison. The same poison he used on Apophis. He wouldn't make it back to Apophis to report anything, while Apophis would be lucky to survive if he made it to a sarcophagus. The team was much happier hearing about that and Apophis' lack of hand. Harry immediately had his people at Star start to analyze the hand device technology.
On their next planet they explored they encountered a roman type civilization. Alice picked up an energy field that she didn't know what it's purpose was. It seemed to be emanating from a statue that the locals informed them was their god. Harry explored the statue until he found what appeared to be an opening. He had been practicing his mental interface abilities and so interfaced to cause the panel to open. A drawer with control crystals for the field generator opened.
It was easier for Harry to let Alice control most of the more complicated technology because Harry had to center himself and allow his subconscious to do most of the work with the more
advanced tech. He hadn't gotten the opportunity to try the gate yet but he was pretty confident he could activate and power it without a DHD.
The local that was speaking to them was amazed when Harry opened the panel and immediately assumed they were gods. Alice was able to access the memory banks for the device and found many years worth of data. Apparently a Goauld named Pellops was performing various genetic experiments on the local people. He was using the device to generate a field that controlled nanites in their blood.
The nanites artificially aged them so they only lived 100 days on average. It made it so he could see the long term effects of his experiments faster. Harry immediately informed the rest of the team of what he had discovered. The local people were both horrified and thrilled when they found out that they were supposed to live for thousands of days.
They were horrified about what had been done to them and happy to live longer. The SGC would send aid to help them recover. Harry collected blood samples from the locals so that nobody would know he had them. He also managed to slip off and permanently remove the shield generator along with the memory banks of data. He would have Star study the experiment.
It was possible that the nanites could slow aging or even reverse it. Harry suspected that this Goauld had discovered something they didn't share with others of their race. It was probably based similar to what Harry could do with his aging and metamorphic ability.
The next planet SG-1 traveled to was provided by Daniels theory that the Norse gods were in fact powerful aliens that were enemies of the Goauld. When Daniel suggested that the Goauld didn't build the stargates Harry backed him up by explaining that the stargate is so advanced that anything the Goauld have shown so far is inconsistent with that level of technology.
Tealc provided gate coordinates to a known Norse God world. When they got there they were met by a group of men who started laughing and chanting Thor repeatedly. They heard an energy build up coming from an obelisk with a hammer shaped top. Harry should have known there was a damn good reason the Goauld didn't come here. Harry and Alice quickly interfaced with the device and found the power controls. Harry quickly shut power off to the device.
Alice was able to find the devices purpose. It scanned for Goauld in any form and if found transported them to another device that reintegrated them. That was all the device did. Harry walked up to the obelisk and climbed up to the top of it. He acted like he was taking his portable computer pad which he claimed was a proprietary technology of Star Enterprises, which it was, and working on the device.
He used the pad in situations where he used his mental interface powers and wanted to cover that ability with visible technology. The group of local men had run off when the device had shut
off. Harry explained to the rest of SG-1 what the device did and explained that he was modifying it so that it wouldn't affect Tealc.
Soon a woman rode down on a horse followed by the men. She introduced herself as Gerwyn and welcomed them to Cimmeria. She seemed very mistrustful of Tealc, which was understandable. Eventually she grew to be more trusting. She told them that the device sent Goauld into the mountains to a place where the Goauld within them was removed. She introduced them to a former Goauld host named Kendra.
She too seemed to mistrust Tealc. It took a lot longer for her to trust Tealc but she eventually did. She showed them a Goauld healing device. Harry determined from scans of it's energy output that it wouldn't be very useful to him because it was even less powerful at healing than his own technology and spells. She gave Daniel hope because she was able to influence the Goauld that was in her. So the host can survive if they are strong willed. That was good news.
They eventually left that world with an invitation to come back later. Harry knew from the technology that the race who built Thor's hammer was advanced. They appeared more advanced than anything he had observed from the Goauld but less so than the gate builder race. That meant there were at least 4 advanced races that he knew of (Goauld, Norse, Nox, and the gate builders).
The next mission through the gate was again prompted by Daniel. He found video from the pentagon where the gate had been opened years ago and a scientist went through. Daniel informed the scientist's, Ernest Littlefield, former fiancé of what happened to him. She was the one who started the Stargate program in the first place. She got herself invited along on the rescue mission. Harry liked her because of her fiery attitude.
When they got to the planet it was to a decrepit looking stone structure. They were walking looking around when they came upon the naked aged Ernest. He recognized Catherine, his fiancée, after giving a few of the team a naked hug and then turned around and walked away. They followed him down to a room with writing on the walls and a pedestal in the middle.
Harry immediately recognized 2 of the languages written on the walls. They found out Ernest had been stranded there alone for a long time and half crazy. The place was apparently the meeting places for the 4 races of the Great Race Alliance (GRA). After getting Ernest clothed he showed them a little of what was in the pedestal.
Daniel got really excited about the information in the pedestal. Harry could reproduce the information on the walls from a printout from his memory later. The pedestal information on the other hand would be trickier. Alice could probably download it but it would probably be easier to take it with him. He hit everybody but Sam with a compulsion charm that made them want to go out of the room and back to the gate room. They would also forget about the pedestal.
There was only one reason that Harry could read 2 of the languages on the wall and that was because Sal made him learn them. This meant this was something important. As soon as he touched the pedestal it's top lit up and he could access the entire contents of it in his mind. It was a brief history of the races. That was the moment when he figured out what he and the other wizards and witches are.
The four great races were the Nox, the Asguard, the Furlings, and the Alterans. He was an Alteran. Wizards and witches were descendants of Alterans. He told Sam through his mind link what he discovered. They were both shocked. As soon as he mentally expressed the desire to take the pedestal with him it immediately detached the top portion from the base which was just a hunk of metal.
He used his telekinesis to float it into his trunk. They then made their way up to the gate room. That's when they discovered why Ernest hadn't dialed home. Harry placed memories in the minds of everybody but he and Sam of Harry powering the device with the power source from the pedestal. In reality he used his mental interface powers (MIP) to power and dial the gate.
As soon as he got back to Star Harry shadow walked to Slytherin Manor. "You knew Sal all this time and didn't tell me." "What are you talking about Harry?" "Don't play dumb with me Sal." "You knew that we were Alteran." "Of course I did." "I was pushing my limits of what I could and couldn't tell you just by teaching you Alteran and Asguard." "But I don't understand." "The last that pedestal says is that the Alterans left this galaxy about 5,000,000 years ago."
"But for that to be true and for we descendants of the Alterans to be here we must either be descendents of the infected Alterans left behind or they returned at some point." "Why did they disappear from history at that point?" "You are very close to the truth my heir but I cannot tell you anymore than that." Harry was unsatisfied with the portraits lack of answers but there was nothing he could do.
He went back and talked with the girls about what had been revealed. The pedestal said that the Alterans were planning on leaving several knowledge repositories throughout the galaxy. It didn't say where they were because they hadn't left them yet but it said they would do that right before they left the galaxy. They apparently took off for another galaxy, where they didn't say, in their great city ship Atlantis.
While Harry was contemplating the information he learned about his people's history and the techs at Star were going over some of the new elements recorded on the pedestal SG-1 was sent on another mission. This one was to Chulak to recover Tealc's son Ryac who was about to have a primta implanted in him.
When they got past the guards at the gate and made their way to Tealc's former home they found it burned out. When Tealc was still grieving for his lost home and what he thought was his lost
family another Jaffa that Tealc knew arrived. Master Bratac informed Tealc that his family was in the camps, mostly likely on the south side of the city.
When the pissing match between Bratac and O'Neill was out of the way they split up. Sam and Daniel were sent back to guard the gate and prepare it in case of a need for a quick departure. Harry sent an invisible golem with her to watch her back. It had a spell generator watch on it. It made the perfect body guard because it would protect it's target at all costs.
Harry, O'Neill, Bratac, and Tealc made their way to the camps on the south side of the city. When they got there Tealc ended up getting in an altercation with the priest who was about to implant the primta into Ryac. He ended up killing the man and getting reacquainted with his wife.
When it was explained that Ryac was infected with Scarlet Fever O'Neill was about to give him a powdered medicine that was carried with him in his pack. Harry stopped him and pulled out a ptel injection. Harry also mentally instructed Alice to conjure an armband inside her pocket dimension and enchant it with an infection ward. It would be able to draw power from the surrounding energy to power the ward like the lightning spell did.
She pushed the materialized band into Harry's hand, inside his bag so the others wouldn't see it appear out of thin air. Harry pulled the band out and placed it on Ryac's arm. It snapped over his arm and the seam disappeared. He then injected Ryac with ptel. His symbiote pouch immediately closed shut and healed up. Harry explained to the amazed Jaffa. "That injection I just gave him rid him of any sickness that was in his body and the band should stop anymore from getting in." "It would still be best for him to come to earth so that if he does get some infection we can heal it."
After Tealc thanked Harry profusely and made a vow to always help Harry in a time of need (some Jaffa life debt thing) the group of 7 headed towards the gate. Along the way they met up with Sam and Daniel. Apparently they had snuck off after seeing priests carrying a symbiote. They had retrieved a symbiote for study in a canister.
The golem informed Harry mentally that he had retrieved the remaining 10 symbiotes from the tank before Jackson shot it up. Jackson had actually shot the hologram that the golem was maintaining until Daniel was out of site of the tank. They were housed in the pocket dimension the golem's spell generator is in within a conjured containment tank. Star scientists would be getting some new specimens to study.
The large group made it back to the gate where Bratac beat the 2 priests and Jaffa they found guarding it into an unconscious state. While everybody was saying their farewells Harry instructed the golem to cast the same surveillance charms on the gate as was used in the SGC conference room. The gate could hold the charms easily because it was made out of naquadah which could conduct Alteran energy.
