Ch: 11-12
Chapter 11- 1998 Season 2
On their next mission through the gate it wasn't long before SG-1 ran into trouble. They were on a planet called Nassya when the village started to get attacked by death gliders. The village was taking heavy fire and the SGC was evacuating the villagers back to earth.
It was when the villagers were mostly through the gate that things went horribly wrong. Sam started freaking out through her mental link. She had apparently given one of the Nassyan men mouth to mouth to try and revive him (necromantic spells are not on the Hogwarts curriculum so her spell generator isn't capable of it yet). A Goauld had possessed her.
Apparently the occlumency lessons were helping her to hide memories and thoughts that she wanted from the symbiote. She was hiding her mental connection from it along with anything to do with Alterans or earth's true capabilities. Harry bolstered her strength through the connection (the other girls were too far without specific concentration).
He waited until everybody was back through the gate to earth and looked at his possessed wife and stated in a deep menacing voice, "You made a mistake." With that said he stunned her and caught her before she fell. He quickly explained what happened to the others.
Sam could see what the symbiote was thinking even though the reverse wasn't true because of the occlumency training. If the symbiote wasn't arrogant enough to think the host couldn't hide anything from it then it would have possibly been able to detect the hidden knowledge. She was able to feed the symbiote false memories that were what was used in her mind shield to protect against a telepath penetrating her mind from the outside.
Sam said that the symbiote was a member of the Tokra. Her name was Jolinar of Malkshur. With Harry's help Sam was able to copy the memories pertaining to the Tokra from the unconscious Jolinar. Harry then removed the symbiote and put her (symbiotes had no natural sex but could choose a preference) in a symbiote tank.
When Sam was back on her feet they went to the briefing room where they briefed the PM, president, Hammond, and the rest of the team about the possibility of allying with the Tokra. Tealc agreed that the Tokra would make great allies. It would make it easier to form an alliance with Jolinar's help. That would require her to have a host.
With the president and PM's approval they set out to find a woman who was willing to become a host. With a population numbering in the billions it was a surprisingly easy search. They chose somebody who had an incurable by mundane standards illness. They also searched for somebody who didn't have any family that would require Jolinar to come back and visit often.
They found an orphan biologist who had cancer named Lois. She was only 22 years old but had been given 3 months to live at best. When she had signed the non disclosure agreements and had been debriefed about the state of affairs in general in the galaxy they asked her to become a host for Jolinar. As the former host for the Tokra, Sam explained the situation to her the best. When she learned that the Tokra could cure the cancer she quite readily agreed.
Harry was prepared to inject her with a ptel injection that would have cured her should she have turned down the offer but there was no need to tell her that. She was bright enough and young enough that he could have hired her on at Star. When Jolinar and Lois had successfully blended Jolinar agreed to begin treaty agreements between the Tokra and earth. She was quite shocked of all the Tauri were capable of (she knew nothing of what the Alterans were capable of).
On their next mission SG-1 helped a man who was apparently fleeing from pursuit and was then attacked by the local government for giving that help. Their attack was unsuccessful. Before they could do more than stun Daniel Harry took down all of the attackers with his stun gauntlet. They left that planet quickly and declared it hostile.
On their next planet they came across a virtual garden paradise that contained some type of technology interface pods that had unconscious people in them. Some technology tried to stun them again, which seemed to be becoming a regular occurrence. The only reason that Harry hadn't given the rest of SG-1 shields is because it made it easier to use more of his technology and powers when they were unconscious. That way he wouldn't have to modify their memories later on.
When Alice had taken control of the local electronic systems and disabled the stunning device he instructed her to interface with the pods and figure out what was going on. From her explorations and Harry's use of telepathy on one of the people in the pod devices he found that they thought their planet was ruined like it was when they went in. It turned out that the one who did maintenance on the technology and controlled the virtual environment that they were in was keeping them in there so they wouldn't destroy the planet again. Alice started waking all of the people at Harry's command. When the team left that planet Harry left with the plans for the pod technology in Alice's memory.
On the next planet SG-1 traveled to Harry was glad that he had redesigned the MALP series for the SGC. It didn't have any fancy sensors beyond what the old MALP had but it did now move by a small anti grav drive. It also had a small cloaking generator built in so it could disappear once it exited the gate. The planet they were on was apparently a naquadah mining planet.
They watched as a contingent of Jaffa sent a shipment of naquadah through the gate. They followed a woman through the woods. When Jack said it looked like she was going to jump off a cliff Daniel did a very stupid thing. He ran out and tried to save her. Two Jaffa came up behind Daniel with their staff weapons pointed at him and told him to get away from the princess. Harry released a burst of stunners at the two Jaffa and the princess.
He then turned around and proceeded to fire into the trees where the rest of the small group of Jaffa was emerging that the life signs detector on the ptel satellite that he had launched when he got to the planet told him were approaching. They all went down before they could return much fire which all missed.
He approached the princess and used telepathy on her to figure out the situation which he then explained to the others. The planet was left to be ruled by this woman's father as long as he kept shipments coming to the minor Goauld who knew about this place. It appeared the minor Goauld kept the planet hidden from the other Goauld in return for the naquadah.
The ruler used a sarcophagus which apparently was having less and less effect for more time spent in the device. He was apparently very old and going quite insane. The rest of SG-1 had learned to stop questioning how Harry acquired the information or did the things he did. They would just get the same answer as always. It's proprietary technology of Star Enterprises.
It was decided that since Harry had just taken out most of the Jaffa contingent on this planet that they could take it the rest of the way pretty easily and claim it in the name of Chlorel (wink wink). The operation to capture the planet went smoothly without much resistance. The slaves in the mine were happy to be free.
Star Enterprises acquired a new planet to mine while area 51 got a second sarcophagus to study. They couldn't use them more than once without negative effects so they were studying them in hopes of fixing the flaw in the technology.
The next mission that SG-1 went on had them visiting a planet devoid of atmosphere. They were going into an ancient structure following energy readings to what appeared to be an orb. Alice interfaced with it and discovered that it was a time ark of sorts for a dead civilization. It would open and start rebuilding the species that left it once it was in a breathable atmosphere planet. That information made O'Neill change his mind about bringing it back to earth.
They decided to send the orb through the gate to the primordial planet that they were scheduled to visit next before they went back to earth. That idea lead to the formation of the alpha site where all artifacts were to be routed to be cleared as safe before heading to area 51.
SG-1 had some down time because Jack and Sam were receiving the airman award for their work at the SGC. Daniel and Tealc were staying home because Sharai was really close to her due date. Jack, Sam, Harry, and Hammond took Harry's personal grav car to Washington. Unlike
the normal grav car this one had a full set of inertial dampeners to make it a really smooth ride. It also was space capable and had almost no limitations on it's sublight speed and maneuverability.
It was basically capable of flight anywhere in the solar system. When they got to the award meet and greet Hammond sprung the surprise of inviting Sam's father General Carter. Harry and the general got along well enough. He and Sam on the other hand weren't exactly super close. The man tried his best to raise his kids after his wife died but had a lot of trouble because he was deeply in love with his wife. The man did the best he could and if Harry said so himself did a pretty good job with the way Sam turned out (even though she mostly raised herself at that point).
When Jack went to get a drink at a local bar he was approached by a local reporter who had been contacted by a leak at the SGC. Harry told him he would handle it. Harry used telepathy on the man to find the source of the leak. It was an NID operative who worked for the same people Kinsey worked for. Unfortunately the corporate CEOs that were behind Kinsey were still out of the country so they couldn't be legally arrested unless they came back into the country. If they kept interfering in the stargate Harry would be forced to send a squad of his people after them to erase their memories of anything to do with the Stargate.
Harry spelled the reporter so that he couldn't tell or transmit information about the Stargate program in any form to another person. He then pointed the leak out to Hammond who had the man arrested and charged with treason. When Harry got back to the party Sam was upset from having another argument with her father about him trying to get her into the shuttle program. Harry managed to calm her down.
On their way back to the SGC they got a call that Sharai went into labor. A team of Star doctors/healers was helping with the birthing process. Some discrete numbing charms made the labor much less painful for Sharai. By the time the team arrived at Daniel's house baby Henry Jackson was born. It quickly became apparent that something was wrong with the baby.
Some diagnostic charms showed that the problem was mental so Harry used telepathy to determine the problem. The Goauld genetic knowledge that was passed on was overwhelming the boy's conscious mind. It wasn't so much as the amount of information as what they passed on with the scientific knowledge that was causing the problem. It was in essence the Goauld philosophy and mentality. It appeared that the information gained was an all or nothing deal.
Harry blocked off all of the knowledge from the child's conscious mind. That meant the Goauld philosophy and the technology information. The Jackson's were extremely grateful when he informed them of the problem and that he had fixed it. They didn't even bother asking how. Harry mused that he had trained them pretty well.
On SG-1's next mission they came across a seemingly abandoned civilization. What they found instead was a seemingly endless swarm of a large insect. One of the little bastards tried to get Tealc but Harry's draconic senses and reflexes dealt with it before it could attack him. When the main swarm began to approach Harry's stunner gauntlet was shooting at full speed non stop and still didn't make a dent.
When they made it back to earth the planet was marked extremely dangerous. When Harry later examined the life signs screen that showed the data coming from the ptel satellite that Harry had the time to launch when they first got there he saw that the planet was swarming with the insect but no human population.
About a week after the insect planet SG-1 was sent on a mission to the Tokra home world. They had wanted to start negotiations for an alliance. One of the things they asked for was help in finding hosts when their current ones were too old or injured. It just so happened that one of their elder Tokra, Selmak, was in need of a new host. They promised to look for a host as soon as they got back to earth. Harry injected the current host with enough ptel to keep the host alive for the next few days.
When they got back to earth Sam got the news that her father was dying of cancer. When they went to visit him they decided to make the offer for him to become the new Tokra host. They didn't really expect him to accept because even if he didn't they could cure the cancer. Making the offer allowed them to brief him on the Stargate program. They were surprised when he accepted the offer. His reasoning was that it would give him a chance to work with Sam and it would keep him from getting bored in his retirement.
Later that day the SG-1 returned to Vorash, the Tokra home world, with Jacob Carter to find the place in a frenzy of packing and moving. Apparently there was a spy in the Tokra ranks. Harry ended up catching the spy when the Tokra was practically screaming feelings and thoughts of guilt. Harry may have not wanted to actively fight a symbiote when it was conscious but his empathic abilities had no trouble against them. When they projected their thoughts there was no problem for his telepathy either.
The Tokra temporarily returned to the SGC with SG-1 until they could find a new planet. Thanks to the ptel injection given to Selmak and host they were capable of being moved. The host switching was performed and the burial ceremony (cremation because of the nomadic nature of the Tokra) was performed for Sarush, Selmak's former host.
It was decided that the best place to hide for now was a planet currently off the stargate grid. To accomplish this Scara swung by in one of the Hatac (mother ship class vessel) vessels and picked up the Stargate and DHD from Vorash. It was then taken to a planet that was habitable but completely off the grid.
The next interesting thing to happen was when Harry got reports from a mining operation that Star was running to mine a mineral called Tritium. A side effect of curing the werewolves of their former affliction was that they all became wolf animagi. Harry had shared the animagi ritual that he had used with the people of Star and all of the animagi had consequently gone through it.
As a result they could smell other animagi in their human form. So it was rather disturbing that the wolf security team that provided security for the operation smelled animagi in the animals that were watching the camp. Harry traveled to the mining camp via the gate he had at the lab complex. His energy sight confirmed that they were indeed using energy to shift form.
Harry was very glad that he had all of his operations erect wards that prevented energy flow between the wards so it was unlikely these beings could tell that the EAs were using what Harry had taken to simply referring to as A energy (short for Alteran Energy).
Harry, being the most powerful A energy user, walked out to the tree line where several of the animals were watching him and proceeded to shift into his smaller dragon form. He then turned back and addressed the animals. "We come meaning you no harm." "As you can see we know what you are." "I would like to speak with you about trading for this mineral that is on your planet."
When they finally shifted to reveal their true form a nice long discussion and negotiation ensued. It turned out that these spirits as they had taken to call themselves hid when the Goauld came to their planet until the Goauld stopped bringing more troops through. They waited until they were sure they could eject the Goauld from the planet for good.
Needless to say when the Goauld lost an entire battalion of their Jaffa and many Goauld they stopped coming to the planet. These beings had taken over the legends of the people that the Goauld had transplanted through the stargate to this planet. They weren't numerous enough to take on all of the Goauld so they stayed on their planet.
They agreed to exchange equal amounts of the synthesized phoenix tear crystallized metal (ptcm) for tritium. They would leave the possibility open for future trades at a later time. They were happy with the mining techniques employed by the Star team. Mining EMs were much less wasteful compared to their mundane counterparts.
The next bit of excitement actually took place at the SGC. It looked like the entire SG-10 team would be working at Star from now on. The retrieval team would need to replace them with golems at an earlier time. Between the SGC and Star the best people in their fields usually worked in CS. Because of the apparent deaths from this hazardous job a lot of them were transferred over to Star with the help of some time travel.
This trouble came when the SG team dialed earth but their GDO code was running a lot slower than it should have been. When Hammond ordered the earth gate to dial back and the video feed came back in the red spectrum with the signal running at longer wavelengths Harry knew something was wrong. When they tilted the camera up and saw the newly formed black hole Harry immediately went to the computer and tried to shut the gate down.
Unfortunately when Harry tried to mental interface with the gate his fears were confirmed. The black hole stabilized the wormhole and was completely powering it. Short of destroying this stargate the wormhole wouldn't disengage. When Harry explained the situation to Hammond and recommended the base be evacuated immediately he agreed and gave the order.
When it was just Sam, Harry, and the rest of SG-1 he ordered a device be sent over from Star. It was basically a weapon they were working on that would detonate varying amounts of the exotic particles drawn from the dimension that A energy came from when it was drawn in higher amounts. It had a delayed detonation time using a second EM.
Being the world's leading expert on the theory of quantum gravity Harry knew the best method to shut the gate down would be to destabilize the wormhole. The best way to do that would be to overload it. It was lucky that it was an outgoing wormhole so that this had a better chance of success. When the device showed up Harry set it up in front of the gate and fired it into the wormhole. The gate immediately shut down.
A few days after that incident Harry was extremely excited because Alice informed him of some pictures that a MALP the SGC sent out for their next planet sent back. Alice could access Harry's mind and used that to translate the Alteran text that the pictures showed. They had found an Alteran knowledge repository.
Harry immediately dialed up his stargate and traveled through to the planet. When he got there he walked across the room while stepping across the activation ring. When the repository came out of the wall he walked right up to it and stuck his head where it reached out and grabbed it. The machine proceeded to download the entire Alteran repository into his subconscious.
When it was done the machine went dead. The history stopped about 5 million years ago when the Alterans left this galaxy in their city ship Atlantis, the crown jewel of the Alteran empire. Harry waved his hand over the dead repository and it detached from the wall. He used his telekinesis to levitate it into his trunk. The device just required power. It only had enough for storage and then discharge of it's knowledge.
The wall closed up where the device came from. Harry walked back over to the Stargate passing over the DNA scanner that was there for the single purpose of making sure he was of Alteran descent. He was glad he decided to come before the official mission because O'Neill was of squib descent and therefore Alteran descent which would have activated the device.
He channeled what he had previously called A energy, wizards thought of as magic, and he now knew was called Zero Point Energy (zpe) from his mind into the stargate. He now knew how every facet of the device worked. The stargate activated and was tripped over to the Star Enterprises gate by Alice sending a signal to power the DHD at the lab.
When Harry got back to the lab he had a lot of information to absorb. He now knew the complete history of the Alterans up until they left this galaxy. Their civilization was over 10 million years old. They had been exploring space for most of that.
About 9 million years ago the Asuran race split into 2 races because of opposing views, the Alterans and the Ori. The Ori wanted to rule over the less advanced races while the Alterans wanted to let them evolve naturally. This difference of ideology led to the Alterans leaving their home galaxy and exploring space for many years.
They traveled through many galaxies exploring and eventually came to the Milky Way. They seeded life throughout the galaxy and built the Stargate system. Their physiology started advancing to the point where they could manipulate zpe with their will alone. They then discovered how to create zpe modules to harness this energy in vast quantities to power their ships.
They eventually built the crown jewel of their space fleet, Atlantis. They made friends with 3 other races, the Asguard, Furlings, and Nox. The Furlings eventually left to explore other galaxies like the Alterans originally did and hadn't been heard from since. The Nox and Asguard are still around.
The real question is when did the Alterans return to this galaxy. The virus that decimated the Alteran civilization was a virus that ravaged their souls. Harry could see that it was similar to the lycanthropy virus. According to the database they didn't have any research into soul energies before they left. They apparently did some before they returned because that was the only explanation as to where the soul magic tomes he had learned from came from.
The Alterans returning was the only explanation as to how EAs were around today. The Alterans left behind were infected with the plague and none would have survived to procreate. They must have also evolved more physiologically because their powers weren't as strong before they left and they were usually only few in diversity. Different Alterans would be able to heal, or use telepathy, or telekinesis, etc.
According to their information he shouldn't have been able to absorb all of that knowledge and still have the powers he did. Harry tested his powers and he still had all of them. The powers would have taken up usage of over 60% of his brain while the information would have taken 70% so there was definitely some physiological development. Harry suspected the soul fragment he absorbed from Riddle also helped a bit.
Harry did agree with one thing of the Alteran ideology very strongly. He would not interfere in the development of humanity too much. The Alterans had helped civilizations develop before and they grew dependent on the Alterans, always coming to them for help instead of figuring out problems themselves.
Harry started updating the plans for the ships he was currently building. The Alterans had drone weapons that would penetrate almost any shield they came across. Harry suspected that if he incorporated the exotic particle generation and detonation technology into this weapon it would be increased in deadliness exponentially.
He wasn't going to fall into the pitfall of previous Alteran ship designs and not put beam energy weapons on their ships. It was always good to be diverse. He would be able to build the components under the effects of time dilation fields so that the construction would speed up but he couldn't assemble the whole thing in the field.
Certain powered up components wouldn't react well to the field when they aren't within the containment field that the completed ship could provide. Over the next few months in his down time Harry constructed constructor bots. These metallic spider like robots were what the Alterans used to build their technology faster when they couldn't just materialize their designs with energy to matter (e to m) converters.
Harry also upgraded the e to m converters he currently had to be able to create more sophisticated technologies from thought. He now had electrically powered devices that could do most of what he could do with zpe. This would be good if he had to use devices in front of the less advanced populations.
It was quite comical when SG-1 did actually travel to that planet and didn't find anything. Daniel tried talking to whoever built the place. That place was built specifically for that repository. They eventually got fed up and left.
The next planet that the team traveled to they encountered an old man named Ma'chello. He tried to trick Daniel into touching a device that would have caused them to swap bodies. The man had just woken up from stasis. Harry offered the man in private immortality through transferring his consciousness to the android body technology that Harry acquired from Harlan if Ma'chello worked for Star. The man would have all the sensations he had now with no need to sleep or eat again.
The man had the choice between that and death of old age. The man chose the android body. They took him back to the SGC where he was cleared. Harry took him to Star where he did the procedure. He gave Ma'chello a job of developing new technologies to use against the Goauld.
Harry knew that with the Alteran technology he could create he could wipe the Goauld from existence if he wanted to reveal his identity but it was always good to think of new ideas. Besides, it would give Ma'chello something to do.
Before the next mission Harry started programming the updated address of every stargate in the galaxy into the SGC computer. He also started writing a good deal of the dialing protocols used in the DHD programming into the computer. He could tweak them later but it would prevent a lot of problems from arising later. It would have prevent the gate from connecting to the black hole planet the second time.
On their next mission they came across a race of painted beings who were apparently naked. One of the team almost stepped on some weird plant on their way to the village but Harry managed to grab them out of the way on time. He was glad later when he did.
He had seriously updated Alice's hardware. She now had a full set of basic Alteran sensors in her array. She also had upgraded hardware so that she could process information much faster. Part of her processor core was under a constant time dilation field so that most of her calculations that would take forever without the field appeared to be instantaneous.
Apparently there was a specific frequency above the human hearing range traveling between the beings and the plants. It seemed to be central to their physiological stability. It was so nice having the Alteran's biological knowledge so he could understand these things. They left that planet without further incident.
About a week later the stargate activated with an incoming wormhole and the iris opened. Alice traced the path of the iris control back to another console in the SGC. Sam fought it for control of the system but the code being used at the other console was superior to hers. A small boy walked through. Harry wasn't too worried because wards were set up to alert Harry if there was a being coming through the gate that meant harm to someone at the SGC or earth in general.
The boy said he came to give a warning. Harry used telepathy on the boy and discovered that a creature called a Retu was the one that opened the iris. Harry immediately had Alice create enough sets of glasses using an Alteran design that was capable of seeing beings that were out of phase. He also modified his stun gauntlet to fire at the Retu phase.
The boy explained about the rebel Retu faction wanting to eliminate all possible Goauld hosts. When the rest of the team and Hammond were skeptical Harry handed them the glasses that allowed them to see the creature. They were much more open minded after that.
The Retu that the boy referred to as mother gave them coordinates to the planet where the rebels were located at. Hammond insisted on sending a threat assessment mission. The recon team found that there were at least a hundred Retu on the planet. A 5 man team of Retu ended up following the recon team back to the SGC.
They didn't get 10 feet from the gate when the wards that Harry had tied to himself to let him know of a threat had detected them. By that point the gate had been shut off and almost everybody was out of the gate room. Harry happened to be the last one near the door.
He used his interface powers to close the doors and then he turned his gauntlet on the assassination team of Retu. He unleashed a hail of stunners that were at a multiphase frequency. He didn't stop firing until all of the Retu were dead. That ended the Retu problem.
The next problem was the boy who had named himself Charlie's physiology. Scans showed that he wasn't going to live much longer in his current state. There were multiple options for fixing this problem. The best option that Harry could see was to have an old Alteran designed healing bed delivered to the SGC.
These were what was used before the advanced Alteran physiology made it obsolete with healing powers. Harry had been meaning to update the SGC's medical facilities for some time but never seemed to get around to it. Dr. Frasier (soon to be Dr. Lupin) was ecstatic with her new equipment when it was delivered. It was basically the equivalent of ptel but with many more options as far as capabilities go.
It had a holographic scanning feature that would tell the doctor exactly what was wrong with the patient. It then recommended several treatments to choose from and would then perform the chosen treatments. It basically had the ability to treat any physical wound or illness. The bed in no way used zpe, so Harry was going to start having Star selling it to hospitals all over the world.
Using the bed they were able to heal Charlie so that he was a normal child. Unfortunately the modification that his mother made to his brain that allowed him to see and hear her wasn't natural so the bed took that away. Harry fixed that by giving him contacts that would allow him to see her and an ear implant for the hearing.
It was decided that Charlie would stay on earth with his own kind. He could visit his mother or she could visit him. There was no danger with the ward Harry put up around the gate. Charlie was going to be adopted by the Lupins (I'm just going to refer to Dr. Frasier as Dr. Lupin from now on since they are engaged). Cassandra would now have a little brother.
Harry mused to himself that if this kept up they were going to need to start an orphanage from all the kids they got from offworld.
Right before they went on their next mission Sam cut herself on the hand the day before. Hammond got a weird look on his face before Harry could heal it in private. When they were about to go through the gate he slipped Sam a note that he told her not to open until they got to the other side. When they went through the gate Harry felt a surge in the wormhole and he really wished he had decided to put more of the DHD protocols on the SGC computer system.
When they got there the gate disappeared and the gate room looked more like the nuclear missile silo it was in the past, complete with the missile that was about to launch. Harry interfaced with the control system and shut down the launch.
Harry had done enough time travel to know when he was doing it no matter how unconventional the method. The pnet not being around the earth was a dead giveaway. When they started to get interrogated about being spies they had a general idea for when they were in. Harry used telepathy on the guards to find out it was 1969.
The Alteran research into time travel was extremely limited. Their ruling council outlawed time travel research after learning of the serious consequences that could arise as a result of changing the past. Harry agreed that the past must not be dangerously altered. Obviously the Alterans had changed their laws slightly after leaving this galaxy because otherwise time turners wouldn't exist.
Harry didn't rule out the thought that the creation of time turners was against the Alteran laws. Harry did agree that serious changes shouldn't be made to the past but didn't rule out the possibility of bringing somebody who died in the past, if you could make it look like they died in the past, into their future or your correct time.
Harry would have to further research the possibilities once they got out of this mess. When the team was being transported elsewhere for probably more interrogation they made their escape. They ran into the younger version of Hammond who Harry made sure understood what he needed to do in the future with the slip of paper. The dates immediately told Harry that they were the times of solar flares.
They needed to find the stargate. Harry discretely launched one of his seriously upgraded pnet satellites when the rest of the team was recovering their supplies. Harry used the satellite to locate the naquadah that the gate was made of. It wasn't too difficult considering it was the only large deposit of naquadah in the US. There were other smaller ones but the gate was unique.
Harry told the others where the gate was located and explained the fact that he knew where it was away as him looking up the complete history of the stargate. Unfortunately they had to get rid of most of their supplies using the zat gun they carried to vaporize them. They couldn't be seen walking around with that get up. Fortunately Harry had an e to m converter and a philosopher's stone in case they needed supplies or gold for money using the stone.
Harry told the others he carried around about 50,000 dollars in petty cash for emergencies. It was rather funny to watch Jack and Daniel's eyes bug out at the amount Harry considered petty cash. Being a multibillionaire certainly had its perks.
Hiring a small charter plane to take them to where the gate was located, no questions asked, wasn't too difficult with a few thousand dollars. The Alterans were pretty damn good at
predicting solar flares so Harry had the satellite orbit the sun and give them real time data of when the solar flare was going to come. Unfortunately this meant that he couldn't take the satellite with him when he left. Fortunately it could cloak so Harry instructed it to stay cloaked and undetectable until Harry got back to earth in his normal time after this mission.
Harry himself was able to power the gate while they went through. When they got to the other side Harry immediately stopped all of his scanners and sensors and resisted the urge to use telepathy on the person in front of them. This was in response to the fact that the person in front of them was a 20 to 30 year old looking Cassandra.
This meant they had arrived into their future and there were things they shouldn't know yet. Harry knew her age could and probably was deceptive with the likely hood that he had provided her with a means to stop aging whether it was one of the Alteran database methods or the myriad of other methods he could think of.
She explained to the group that they had arrived too far in the future so she was there to send them back to their correct time. Harry's suspicions that he did pursue research into time travel using this method were confirmed because Cassandra was able to know exactly when to send them back. This was definitely confirmation enough for Harry.
Chapter 12- 1999 Season 3
AN: Since Hathor is currently sharing a cell block with Apophis the season 2 finale and season 3 premiere episodes never took place. Since it looks like Apophis was deposed by his son Chlorel and not SG-1 the goauld don't realize how serious a threat earth is to them. Therefore Episode 3: Fair Game never took place. Harry is trying to avoid letting the Asguard know he is back because they are currently in a treaty with the goauld. The GRA (Great Races Alliance) prevents him from using his technology to aid earth without the alliance's approval, which he isn't going to wait around for.
The next mission that SG-1 went on turned out to be on earth. The Tokra had been doing a census on the Goauld system lords and they lost track of Seth around the time of the uprising and subsequent gate burying done by the ancient Egyptians. Jacob Carter/Selmak was the Tokra representative who came to earth to explain their theory that Seth was still alive on earth.
After Jack's comments about it being a needle in a six billion strong haystack nobody really expected to find him easily. So they were then surprised when a few hours later Daniel had tracked him down using the CIA's records and various other historical sources. Harry checked the pnet scans showing naquadah sources distributed throughout earth and confirmed that the location for Seth's cult near Seattle was one such source.
The newer upgraded pnet satellites were the only version so far that could scan for naquadah sources. The old version couldn't. There were so many sources of naquadah left lying around
after the various cultures throughout history that used it left that it would likely never all be investigated.
When they got to Seth's compound and scouted out the guards and compound layout they returned to the perimeter to find ATF telling them to drop their guns. After a pissing match between O'Neill and the ATF commander that was resolved by a call to the president they developed a plan to capture Seth.
Selmak figured that the method of control was Nishta, a mind control programmable organism that is inhaled. Harry was pretty sure that the infection wards they all wore would stop it. When Sam pointed out that Jacob and Tealc couldn't go in because of the goauld they carried Harry pointed out the same thing for her with the naquadah in her blood.
It was decided that Daniel, Jack, and Harry would go in. When they got to the end of the escape tunnel, they had discovered, Harry sensed the rings above them. He warned the others right as they activated. When they were rematerialized they were surrounded with guns pointing at them.
When Seth tried to use the Nishta on the three it didn't work just as Harry suspected. Before Seth could react Harry told Jack and Daniel to get down. Harry fired off a massive area effect concussion EM, which he would later explain was a Star concussion grenade. Everybody but Harry was stunned and dazed into unconsciousness.
Seth started to recover faster than anybody else but Harry surged towards him and hit him with stunners from his gauntlet until he went down. Harry started tapping all of the Nishta infected people with a finger as he channeled a small amount of electricity into it from the power converter EM, after securing Seth. Harry woke up Jack and Daniel and the rest of the backup was called in.
It was quite comical to have Seth, Hathor, and Apophis sharing a cell block. SG-1 seemed to get a kick of visiting once a month and verbally taunting the prisoners. Escape was not an option for the goauld captives. The president had given Harry carte blanche in his designs for the prisoners as long as they didn't escape.
One of the best features of the prison was that if they managed to get to the door on the cell block the wards would strike them with a big enough lightning bolt to kill them instantly but small enough that there was something left to revive in the sarcophagus. The same thing would happen if they tried to jump hosts to one of the guards or visitors. Jacob and Selmak highly enjoyed the chance to taunt the former system lords.
On their next mission SG-1 ran into one of Ma'chello's weapons against the goauld. Everybody thought Daniel was hallucinating when he became infected with the weapon that was out of phase when it was trying to dispose of a goauld that wasn't present in Daniel. Harry used telepathy and found that he really was seeing the visions he said he was. Alice recognized the
symptoms from one of the weapons designs that Ma'chello had entered into the Star database. He was quickly able to deactivate the weapon. Harry decided that weapon would need some work because of it's nature of being indiscriminate against goauld whether one was present or not.
On the next mission they came across a civilization that used a procedure where a select group of child researchers gave a brain cell to every other member of their civilization when they were done with their assigned project. The nature of the procedure left the child's mind reverted to an infant state. Harry found this out through telepathy and foresaw the problem immediately. O'Neill would get attached and try to project his views and morals onto an alien cultures, probably offending them in the process.
Earth had managed to make a trade with these people for naquadah reactor technology. Harry informed Hammond of the situation and they managed to distract O'Neill for the time that the child was there to help Sam. Harry may not have agreed with their methods but he wasn't going to try to force his will upon another culture.
Harry later went back after having one of his research departments study the method that was used to pass on the knowledge. The knowledge wasn't actually gone; well it wasn't gone from the soul anyway. Harry had the research team construct a device that would replace the removed brain cells with new blank ones. The device then extracted the memories from the soul of the patient and transferred them to the conscious mind restoring them to full health.
His conditions for the device were that they simply didn't tell anybody about the device and where they got it from. It was amazing what the Star research teams could do now that they had access to the Alteran repository that Harry had made available after copying it onto the mainframe. The employees were bound by oaths and EMs to not use the knowledge from the repository except on work issues, or anything Harry or his wives said they could.
The next big project that Star output to the general public was the medical bed that he gave to the SGC. It was cheaper than the combined medical equipment that most hospitals purchased. It seemed to reinforce Harry's image as being a genius on the level of Einstein. It was unfortunate that Harry couldn't release that he wasn't the creator of the technology because that just wouldn't do.
Over the past few years Harry had purchased most of the company's that supplied the world's house building materials and food products. The economic backlash from releasing the grav cars was getting progressively worse. The oil industry was a rather large industry before cars that ran without fuel came onto the market.
To offset this Harry was going to start releasing extremely low price building materials and food made by Alteran technologies like the e to m converter. In this way people's needs were met at extremely low costs. Harry used his newfound wealth to start getting into the banking industry.
He was making it so that people who hit hard times wouldn't have their homes foreclosed on. Those who lost their jobs because of new technologies were finding that the bank was giving them really good deals.
Harry was tinkering around in the lab when Alice altered him that the quantum mirror had just come on. Harry had to smile to himself. It was always fun to play around with ARs. He also wouldn't have to hide the fact that he was Alteran. Who came through was also a surprise. It was Sam and major Kowalski. Harry immediately had Alice make 2 arm bands to alter their energy signature slightly.
It turned out that in their reality the earth had just been conquered by the Goauld, Apophis in particular. Harry immediately prepared a special probe while the major and Sam were settling in. This probe which Harry had the constructors build a while back was designed for missions where ARs were involved. It used the same technology that the quantum mirror did to access ARs except it didn't need a counterpart in that reality.
The orb would go to the reality that the major and Samantha (going to refer to her as that for simplicities sake) had arrived from. The reality frequency was relayed from the mirror to the probe. Alice was giving him information from the probe cloaked in the AR. It looked like Apophis only took the 2 ships. It also looked like there were no Alteran descendents in that reality. There were the occasional squib but it looked like no counterpart of Harry. They probably killed themselves off with war long ago.
When Harry went to speak with their guests he found his wives speaking with Samantha and Kowalski. He found that Samantha was married to Jack. Samantha and Kowalski were shocked to learn they were being hosted by the race who built the stargates. They were even more shocked when Harry offered to retake their world for them. The casual way he mentioned defeating the Goauld on earth left them in a dumbfounded state.
When Harry learned that Jack had only been dead for 3 days in the AR he figured he would have him brought back through the use of the time turner. Hell he figured it might not be so bad to bring back all of the SGC personnel if it was easily doable. Harry called all of his wolf teams that weren't on assignment together along with the teams that would do the recovery with the time travel fields.
He briefed them on the situation and they formed a plan of attack. They didn't need to use the quantum mirror to get to the AR any more than the probe did thanks to armbands with the mirror technology built in that Harry named AR bands. The golems that the recovery teams used for these purposes only had enough memories to simulate the method in which their real life counterparts would have died, without any feelings. They weren't full copies of the consciousness, which would have been cruel.
The teams were invisible and out of phase, much like the Retu to keep from contaminating the timeline, using a field generator that Harry had used the Alteran knowledge to modify based off of the Tollan devices. Pretty soon the recovery teams returned with all of the formerly thought dead SGC personnel. The intel that the telepaths were sending back informed Harry that Apophis would be arriving at the half destroyed SGC the next day. The only person left alive on the base was Hammond who was the Goauld prisoner.
The team replaced him with a golem and came back to their reality. The wolf teams would take care of the rest of the Jaffa and Apophis the next day. Meanwhile there were many surprised SGC personnel being reunited with perfectly healthy friends who they had thought dead, and in some cases watched die.
Samantha was very grateful to Harry for bringing Jack back. Harry just told her that he would do anything for his Sam no matter what reality she was from. That earned him kisses from all of his lovely wives.
The next day the wolf teams along with Harry arrived at the AR to find the Jaffa bowing to Apophis and then watched with silent laughs as Apophis tortured the Hammond golem, which was nothing more than a very sophisticated but unfeeling computer. The team then decided they had enough fun and took out all of the Jaffa and Apophis in under 5 seconds. All of the Star personnel carried stun gauntlets at all times for safety purposes. All of the prisoners were imprisoned for the SGC personnel to decide what to do with later.
The team started to repair the base with abundant use of the reparo EM and permanent transfiguration. When they were done it looked brand new. When the Star teams brought the SGC personnel back from what they referred to as a vacation in heaven they were amazed at the state of their base and the 2 newly acquired Goauld Hatac class vessels that wolf teams had liberated from the remaining Jaffa earlier.
Harry had taken the liberty of replacing the beds in the infirmary with his new medical bed. He also gave Samantha a computer watch with a significant portion of the Alteran database in it. He told her to call him if she ever needed anything. The watch would be able to communicate with him easily.
After getting back from that mission Harry ordered a team to Antarctica to repair the Alteran outpost there. It only took them a few hours to reach the buried outpost which had held up pretty well considering it had been buried under a few miles of ice for the last five million years. Harry had the constructors start to repair the facility. It's ZPM was depleted but that was easily remedied.
ZPM's worked by drawing the zpe from an artificial dimension (like Harry's trunk) within the natural dimension referred to as subspace or that dimension which most hyperspace windows traveled through. When ZPM's became depleted it was because they had drawn all of the zpe
from that artificial dimension that it could without exotic particles starting to be drawn in dangerous quantities. To "recharge" it all that had to be done was to open a new artificial dimension. The Alterans had never built recharging devices, although they could, for similar reasons to them never building healing devices.
They could use their natural ability to manipulate zpe to reset the dimension. Harry did so with the one at the outpost. Harry had the constructors start making more of the drone weapons that the outpost could fire when he saw that the outpost only had enough to repel one fleet. He also ordered construction began on another chair weapons platform at the CS Star facility.
He wouldn't be able to use the weapons until a time of great need because the excuse of the technology being proprietary to Star would be hard pressed to cover this advanced of a technology. Harry ordered the Antarctica facility to be placed under the same wards as his other facilities.
To accommodate Harry's desire to study time travel he had one of his probes capable of traveling to ARs search out a reality that didn't have any life in the Milky Way. He then sent constructors to that reality to build testing equipment to experiment with wormholes, high gravity fields, and the plasma energy fields generated during a solar flare. These were all of the fields that interacted when a stargate sent it's travelers back in time.
Harry had a computer consciousness that could control the constructors do the experiments so there was no risk. It would send along updates periodically with it's results in case the experiments ended up destroying that particular AR. Harry didn't expect results for quite some time. This method completely got around one of the problems the Alterans had with studying time travel. The second major problem was the ability of the technology to be misused. Harry would put safeguards in place to prevent that should the experiments succeed.
On the next planet SG-1 traveled to they were searching for a downed UAV. Harry had the pnet satellite search for any other humanoid life signs in the area. He found 2. The first one appeared to be holed up in a cave a few miles away and the second seemed to be waiting in the direction they were following Sam's readings to the probe.
Harry suspected an ambush. He told the others he would be right back. He snuck up on the life sign that seemed to be lying in ambush. Harry stunned and secured the man before starting to use telepathy to figure out the situation.
It seems he was a bounty hunter named Aris Boch. It appeared he was here to capture a Goauld but when SG-1 showed up he couldn't resist collecting extra bounty or getting help for the Goauld. The man's history told that all but a few of his race was wiped out because their kind couldn't be taken as hosts.
They were also resistant to zat guns. Harry was glad his stun gauntlet was a different energy than that of zat guns. The survivors were given a forced addiction to a chemical that the Goauld would only give them in payment for certain services. Alice scanned the chemical and determined that she could synthesize the chemical. Harry had her use the upgraded Alteran e to m converter she had in her pocket dimension to create a small device that would synthesize the chemical in the required dosages.
Harry was amused to see that Boch had removed the gate control crystals in an attempt to trap them on this planet. His ship apparently had an upgrade made recently to it, a cloaking generator. It seemed the Goauld were starting to steal new technologies or heaven forbid actually create them themselves.
Harry drug the bound Boch back to the others and explained the situation. Harry told them that he would be right back again. He then shadow walked right behind the Goauld Keltar thanks to his life sign readings and stunned him. Unconscious Goauld were a lot easier to use telepathy on. He learned that he wasn't Goauld but Tokra. He healed the unconscious Tokra's injuries with his healing band (from Hufflepuff).
Harry then shadow walked both of them close to the others and revived the Tokra. They all had a nice chat, conscious Boch included. Boch gladly accepted the synthesizer that would free him from the Goauld control. Keltar ended up making it safely back to the Tokra home world while Boch went in search of more of his people to help.
On their next planet they found a Christian based culture that was currently terrorized by a Goauld/Unas in the service of Sokar who was impersonating the devil. While they were waiting for the Unas to return the next day to ambush him they found out that the locals were going to perform a ritual of cleansing on a girl who they thought was possessed but was actually infected with the simple chicken pox.
Harry used his healing band while just telling the rest of the team that it was a much less functional version of the medical bed. This wasn't true because it was actually much more functional because Harry could directly control the band with his mind and augment it with his powers. Harry managed to persuade the local man that the ritual of cleansing which consisted of drilling holes into a sick person's head was a bad idea. Harry gave the priest a communicator to contact him if there was ever somebody sick again to the point where they were going to perform the ritual and he would send somebody to heal them. Harry could have a golem respond to situations like this with a spell generator to heal.
He also decided to send a golem back to start instructing these types of civilizations with at least a basic high school education. It would probably take many golems and many years but having the education level around the galaxy go up would not be a bad thing.
When they were confronted by the local priest that chose who was sacrificed to the Unas about being demons O'Neill decided to argue with him. His argument was cut short when the man activated a piece of technology he was wearing on his ring finger and a lightning bolt came down and struck the ground in the middle of where SG-1 was standing.
Everybody but Harry and Sam was knocked unconscious. The locals were awestruck that the stun weapon had no effect. Harry just fired his own stunner at the man and retrieved the device that he recognized as an old Alteran design from the unconscious man. Harry used telepathy on the man and found that the device was passed down to the people in his position since their recorded history.
When Harry saw the abuse of power that the corrupt official performed he just executed the man. He had killed so many innocent people while in power. Anybody who questioned him was declared possessed. It reminded Harry of the Salem witch hunts that made the EAs go into hiding.
The next day the ambush on the Unas went off without a hitch. When it walked into the center of town which was cleared of people for the ambush and started spouting threats because nobody was tied to the stakes SG-1 just lobbed 2 grenades at the bastard. Even an Unas didn't seemed to be able to survive that explosion. The people were quite thankful.
With the standard wards over the gate along with the pnet satellite in orbit watching them the people shouldn't be troubled by the Goauld further.
AN: With Apophis captured at the end of Season 1 I'm going to assume he didn't consider earth enough of a threat before then to set up the events that happened in Episode 9 so it isn't going to be in here. Episode 11 didn't happen because Sharai is safe on earth with Daniel. Episode 11 ended up being a normal planet because Lanaya was never freed.
Not long after being back from their latest mission Martouf of the Tokra arrived to inform them that Jacob/Selmak had been captured and imprisoned on Natu, Sokar's version of hell. The only person ever to escape Natu was Jolinar. Jolinar had been unforthcoming about how she escaped the hellish moon. Martouf wanted to know if Sam knew of a way to let them escape.
Harry and Sam both had a complete set of Jolinar's memories that related to her Tokra missions. They had gotten rid of memories concerning personal matters. They informed Martouf of the set of rings located on the moon. Harry assured them that he could get the rings working no matter what the setup.
They were soon leaving from the new Tokra home world in the cargo ship that Jolinar had escaped in. When Martouf explained that the engines could only be run at 40% of the speed they were supposed to be capable of because they were damaged Harry disappeared into the engine room of the ship. He started to trace all of the systems of the ship with Alice's help.
When the Goauld scavenged these technologies they made a great many errors that caused the energy to be used inefficiently. Harry started to reconfigure the ships systems. Alice could create any parts he needed using the e to m converter. Without making some major modifications to the systems Harry was able to get the hyperdrive to travel at 2 times the speed it could travel before when it was fully repaired. He also had brought a cloaking field generator which he installed.
When Harry learned that Natu was a moon orbiting the planet that Sokar made his home base he brought with him an Alteran weapon that used a ZPM to create an explosion big enough to destroy an entire solar system very quickly. If the chance arose to take out a fleet of Goauld ships he would take it.
When Martouf learned about Harry's modifications to the ship he was amazed. When he tried to question Harry about it the others just told him not to bother. When they arrived in orbit above Natu, now cloaked, they were launched to the planet's surface from the escape pods. Harry found it funny when O'Neill made a big deal about taking weapons with him. Harry still carried every weapon under invisibility wards that he would normally carry. He was literally capable of fighting a war with all of the weapons he had on him.
They made their way into the underground chamber once they had landed. There Sam asked for Binar, the Goauld Jolinar had seduced so she could escape, so that they might learn where Jacob/Selmak was being held. It worked after O'Neill got thrown on his ass by Binar's hand device. They were taken to a pit and thrown in where they found Jacob/Selmak injured. Harry used his wrist healing device to heal all of his injuries.
Soon Sam was taken to see Binar while Harry followed her invisible. Harry listened to the Goauld question Sam until he was about to kill her. At that point Harry snapped Binar's neck. Harry destroyed the body with a fire EM. He checked out the setup on the rings and found that Alice could control them very easily. Harry pulled out the golem replica of Binar that they had made for this mission from Jolinar's memories. It wasn't hard to modify the ruined eye that Binar now sported (apparently Sokar hadn't been too pleased with Binar for allowing Jolinar to escape), the golems could shift forms like a metamorphagus could with simple transfiguration transfiguration.
Harry and Sam made their way back to the pit invisibly. They freed the 2 Tokra and the rest of SG-1. They then made their way back to Binar's chambers and the ring platform stunning anybody in the way with Harry's stun gauntlet. Harry gave the Binar golem the Alteran bomb and then activated the rings to the interception coordinate that Alice relayed to the cloaked Tealc.
They jumped into hyperspace and Harry ordered the Binar golem to go to Sokar and detonate the weapon in his face. It was amusing to watch later as Sokar had a bomb blow up in his face. All of the other's were amazed at the exploding solar system. There was no need to worry about Sokar's fleet after that incident.
After that incident SG-1 came back from their mission to find out that one of the returning SG teams had apparently been impersonated by an alien species in an attempt to take over the SGC. They didn't get very far because of the wards. The wards should have only stunned them but their physiology apparently couldn't withstand the stunner, all 4 died.
Their impersonation method was apparently a holographic device that projected the image of the person you're trying to imitate. It was similar to Harry's illusion personal ward except it didn't use zpe. The 4 devices recovered were sent to area 51 for study and Harry sent a recovery team to rescue the SG team before they went on the mission.
On their next mission the SGC MALP showed a paradise looking planet with sun and white sandy beaches but Harry's pnet satellite showed something different. The satellite showed a lab looking area with decently advanced technology. Harry had Alice make it look like the gate on the other planet was malfunctioning by causing it to shut down and not open back up without a command by him.
He wasn't about to have his team walk onto a planet that reeked of ambush. It was like the inhabitants were luring the travelers to visit their planet with the beach images. That planet was written off as having a buried gate. When Harry later sent an out of phase probe to the planet and observed the actions of the scientist there he felt vindicated in his actions regarding the team not visiting there.
On the next planet SG-1 visited the planet was about to pass through an asteroid field that would have meteors hitting the surface of the planet which would cause much destruction and death for the local people if they didn't leave the planet. A few of the villagers were going to stay behind when one of the village leaders accused SG-1 of just wanting the planets resources for themselves once the villagers left.
The Alterans had some pretty damn sophisticated software. With the sensor data of the asteroid belt taken by the pnet satellite Harry was able to develop a very accurate model of what was going to happen. When he showed the villagers the detailed holographic model of where specifically things were going to get destroyed that convinced any unbelievers to not want to stay behind. If he had to lace a little power into his voice along with a compulsion aura to help he wasn't too concerned as long as it saved lives.
Sure enough when everyone was safely back on earth and they tried to dial Edora (the planet in question) after the shower the probe was crushed as soon as it left. This meant the gate was buried. Scara was able to send a few Jaffa in an Alkesh to unbury the gate and remove the liquid naquadah that had formed an iris of sorts.
Over the course of the next few weeks the SGC was approached by the Asguard, Tollans, and Nox because technology was being stolen from protected planets by SGC personnel. This meant
that the SGC had finally come into contact with the Asguard, but unfortunately it was under less than ideal circumstances.
Harry was going to try to avoid giving anything away in his dealings with the 2 remaining great races that would reveal him as Alteran. Such an action would prevent him from using his technology to fight the Goauld because of the treaty the Goauld were currently in with the Asguard. Not unless he was willing to go and fight an all out war and wipe the Goauld out quickly.
While he was making great progress with his first battle ship he didn't want to take that action in his first war on a galactic scale. That would be showing too much of his hand too soon. That would show one of the true flaws that the great races seemed to have, their arrogance. It was much better in Harry's opinion to use gorilla warfare techniques and always keep your advantages hidden by revealing some of the lesser technologies to draw attention away from the more powerful techniques.
To resolve the situation with the stolen technology the 3 races were willing to take their technology back and sever all communications between themselves and earth. The Asguard were likely to take the earth gate in the process. Harry could put up wards that blocked Asguard sensors and therefore transporters around the SGC but such an action would raise their suspicions. The Alterans had helped the Asguard build these technologies.
To solve the theft problem Jack went undercover by stealing a Tollan device that disabled weaponry when the team was visiting the new Tollan home world on a trade mission. This action lead to Jack being forcibly retired. He was able to "convince" Hammond to let him retire on the recently rebuilt Edora where he had been given a standing invitation to stay with a woman he had become very good friends with, after he was approached by Maybourne to join the team of thieves off world.
Harry had never met Maybourne because the man had always arrived too late to get his goals in most situations where he was doing something shady or unethical. The thief unit had a mole inside the SGC who Jack was able to identify. The operation ended up going very well. When Daniel discovered the ruse he was quite perturbed that he wasn't told. Harry just smirked because he knew and had told Sam, Tealc didn't seem to be bothered by much.
It looked like one operative had been able to use a captured Jaffa outfit to stow away onboard an Alkesh that was leaving from the Hatac that was permanently stationed on earth going on a mission. Once the operative had gotten to a world with a gate he had been able to infiltrate a Goauld world where he stole a cargo ship which he used to pick up more people and supplies for their offworld base. All in all it was a successful operation.
The next planet that SG-1 traveled to was actually one that wouldn't connect before. It was a cold dial program that Sam had created that showed the gate had been unburied since the last
time they had dialed. When the 2 people on the other side of the gate were observed through the invisible anti grav drive powered MALP Daniel started contact through the holographic generator that was an upgrade for the MALP.
When the man who spoke with Daniel, Nyan, invited them through SG-1 was soon on the planet. Harry used telepathy on the man to assess the situation when his empathic abilities picked up the anxiety oozing off the man. Apparently this world was at war over the existence of the Stargate which had been buried in violent earthquakes 2000 years ago. They apparently landed on the wrong continent.
Nyan knew if the officials of his continent found out they would call SG-1 optrican spies and kill them. Harry quickly took control of the situation when his pnet satellite told him that there were transport crafts headed their way. He had Alice dial the gate while he explained the situation to the others. Harry put a put a portkey on the gate that would take it to the capital building on the other continent which he located using Nyan's geography knowledge and the pnet satellite.
Alice would activate the portkey after SG-1 got back to earth. Alice could manipulate the transport field to encompass the still buried DHD and take it with it. When that was accomplished they stepped through the gate back to earth not a moment too soon as they could see transports coming towards them in the distance.
On the next planet they came to they encountered a huge Mayan pyramid that apparently housed a compound that could slow down neutrinos enough to create Lepton radiation. The infection ward would protect against the radiation that was a result of the collision of neutrinos with the compound.
When they got into the structure and made their way over to the skull that was identical to the one Daniel's grandfather, Nick, had discovered years ago and claimed was a transport device. Harry was busy paying attention to Alice's scans and listening in amusement to Sam talking about the discoveries she was making. She and Hermione could be so alike.
When Alice informed him of the radiation spike that was consistent with dimensional phasing transportation Harry was distracted by the readings and therefore wasn't able to stop Tealc in time before he fired his zat gun at the skull. Daniel disappeared and the energy spikes calmed down. Harry just sighed internally as he questioned why somebody would shoot a device that was a foot away from their friends head when it was powered.
Harry used the life signs feature of his satellite and had it filter for higher dimensions. He found Daniel lying on the ground in front of him, apparently unconscious. Harry had Alice use her spell generator to focus an enervate on the dimension that the satellite told him Daniel was currently in phase with. When Daniel was awake Harry explained for the benefit of those who didn't share a mental link with him or have a computer watch that Daniel was in another dimension and that he should follow them back to earth.
Taking the skull with them the group made it back to earth. Harry had the rest of the team go pick up Daniel's grandpa Nick while he worked on the skull. The man's account could be helpful in figuring out what the skull normally did. While they were gone Harry discovered that the skull was made of liquid crystal nanites. It was designed to phase beings into a specific dimension. Placing the skull back where it was on the pedestal should fix the problem.
When the others got back with Nick he informed them that he could see and hear Daniel. They decided to head back to the planet with Nick so that he could translate for Daniel. This option made it so Harry didn't have to reveal more of his technology than he absolutely had too. It was one thing to be able to see the Retu when they could react with normal matter but quite another feat to be able to detect higher dimensions. He didn't want that information leaving Star for a long time yet.
It turned out that they met an energy being when they got to the other dimension that was an enemy of the Goauld. He selected Nick to stay and provide a cultural exchange. They all headed back to the SGC for a very well deserved rest.
A few weeks later SG-1 was on leave when Jack was transported out of the base before he could even leave by what Sam assumed was an Asguard transporter. The pnet confirmed that it was indeed Thor's ship. Harry prepared his new transport ship for action. There was an old Alteran designed transport that was designed to fit through the gate.
Harry had copied the design but with a few modifications. This ship which he named the puddle jumper had shields as well as the standard cloaking device for the design. It also featured a supply of drones that would match the complement of drones in the Antarctic outpost. It held the extra drones in a pocket dimension for calling when they were needed.
Another feature that it had that wasn't required for the normal model of this design was a hyperdrive. This model of ship was used in all of the Alteran cities but didn't usually have a hyperdrive because of it's capabilities of traveling through stargates. It was mostly used for exploration and as a fighter in conjunction with the larger battleships.
The ship could generate an illusion field using what the Alteran's termed hard light so that Harry could hide the fact that it was an Alteran design. This feature took more power over larger volumes. This required the ship to be powered by a ZPM for full use of it's capabilities. After the standard Alteran shields and the invisibility generator the ship had the ability to go out of phase. This feature should protect against anything but multiphase weaponry.
It wasn't long after that Jack contacted the SGC using a hologram. When he informed them of the situation with Thor's ship being overrun with mechanical bugs Harry's blood ran cold. It sounded like constructors. In order for constructors to be doing what Jack described somebody would have had to seriously alter their programming.
The constructor technology was developed over the period of about 10 years by a team of Alteran scientists. They were designed to be resistant to most forms of energy attacks. They were built to overcome problems and challenges they were faced with. They were one of the most resilient pieces of technology the Alterans built. For this reason the safeties against harming living beings were immense.
No Alteran would have altered their programming without a team of others for fear of the replicators going out of control. There were ways to destroy them that the Alterans had created as a failsafe but using these techniques were way beyond earth technology. He would need to tread carefully in this situation.
Harry was banking on the fact that the Asguard had not been very successful in the usage of zpe. If this was the case then they wouldn't know how to detect variations in the zpe energy levels and would therefore not be able to shield against it.
Not only was the puddle jumper a modified design but so were the drone weapons. Harry had improved his circuit rune designs using the Alteran knowledge. Each drone, which was directed mentally by an Alteran controller, now had circuit runes that allowed it to be out of phase and invisible. Alteran shields were multiphase to protect against an object from another dimension bypassing them.
Harry had added a multiphase shield to the stargate iris since the Tollans started walking through the old iris. Harry suspected they did it just to prove to earth that no matter what they did that Tollans would still be able to bypass their efforts.
When Jack beamed up the weapons he had ordered to fight the metal bugs as he called them SG- 1 was along for the ride. Jack wasn't experienced enough at the controls to know that they were hitching a ride. When they got aboard the ship Harry confirmed that they were constructors.
They made their way to where Jack and Thor were located. Jack was upset when he saw them but quickly got over it. Thor was in pretty bad shape so Harry quickly activated the stasis feature on the life pod he was in. Harry quickly scanned over the schematics of the ship.
The Asguard ship designs had obviously improved over the course of the few million years since they interacted with the Alterans. One of the improved features was the dampening field for explosions within the ship. This would make it next to impossible with conventional explosives to destroy the ship. The Asguard never felt the necessity for a self destruct mechanism.
Harry told the others to proceed to the airlock with Thor's pod. They knew to trust Harry's judgment in scenarios where they were over their heads with the local level of technology. Harry picked up the rear. They passed a lot of constructors on their way to the air lock but whatever modifications that were made to their programming seemed to direct them to not attacking unless they were attacked first.
Just before they made it out of the airlock to the docked puddle jumper that was still cloaked Harry snapped up the nearest replicator in a portable time dilation field that would slow time to a near standstill. If given enough time the constructor would probably overcome the field. Harry had a field surrounding the time dilation field that would disrupt the bonds between the individual blocks. It was one of the fail safes the Alterans designed.
When the puddle jumper was safely away from the Belisinger, Thor's ship, Harry stopped and aimed the puddle jumper viewport to allow the ships occupants to observe the constructor controlled ship. Harry activated 5 drone weapons and mentally controlled them to their targets.
The schematics told Harry that the Asguard vessel was controlled by 5 neutrino-ion generators. Without these generators the internal dampening fields wouldn't work. The out of phase drones traveled through the ship to the locations of the generators and phased back in right as they exploded. The entire ship went up in a massive explosion, the backlash of which washed across the puddle jumper's shields without effect (have to love zpm powered shields).
When everybody was safely back at the SGC they sent Thor's pod through the gate to one of the Asguard world's in the Ida galaxy. Harry then went to his private lab at Star to start studying the data he had collected from this mission as well as the replicator before it figured out how to counter the time dilation field.
