Chapter 17- 2004 SG-1 Season 8 Atlantis Season 1
AN: Between the last chapter and this one this story is really going to start to diverge from canon Stargate Universe.
Now that Anubis was eliminated the last of the powerful Goauld had been defeated. All that was left of the Goauld were the minor Goauld which the golem system lords kept from trying to dominate the galaxy. There were still many of these minor Goauld that the system lords did not keep track of. They would have to be eliminated as they were discovered.
The Asguard had been out of contact for some time, probably dealing with the replicator problem and their genetic issues. SG-1 was authorized to go on a mission to the Ida galaxy in a PJ to
deliver the ARG technology to help the Asguard deal with the replicators. While they were gone Dr. Weir would be preparing an expedition to Atlantis. Harry had approached the IOC with the proposal that they form an expedition that he would allow to study on Atlantis.
It was rather funny when he told them that he was claiming Atlantis as his. They wouldn't even be able to find it if it wasn't for Harry. To get there they would have to travel for 3 months in their fastest 303. Harry still controlled the power supplied to the SGC and could simply not allow them enough to gate to Pegasus. The fact was that every piece of technology that Harry had ever provided to earth he had built overrides into that would allow him to take control anytime he wanted.
This meant all of earth's defense fleet would be incapable of moving. The IOC had no choice but to obey his wishes in this matter. Dr. Weir would run the expedition while an air force officer named John Sheppard, who Harry had personally chosen because of his record, would run the small military contingent allowed by Harry under the command of Dr. Weir. The expedition was informed of the wraith threat that drove the Alterans from Pegasus but they all still agreed to go. Apparently Harry's wives insisted that Elizabeth choose a young Dr. Jennifer Keller as well as a Dr. Carson Becket as medical officers for the expedition.
The Doctors would be doing medical research more than anything else because every Alteran on Atlantis was provided all of the bands Harry had created so far, except for the earth expedition members. They were provided every band except the age band. Theirs still had the ptel synthesizer but not the straight elixir synthesizer that would make them immortal, except for Elizabeth (who the wives finally seduced). Harry suspected that the young Dr. Keller was going to be getting an upgrade soon too.
One of the first modifications besides the TTE technology that Harry made to his ships was a new drive that was discovered after Atlantis went to Pegasus. It was a drive that worked by wormhole travel without the use of stargates. It could literally take a ship from Pegasus to earth in less than a minute. It took a lot more power but was much faster than the 2 hours a normal intergalactic drive would take. Harry incorporated this tech into his PJs and Aurora class ships.
Harry used this new drive to take SG-1 from earth to the Ida Galaxy. He had to drop out a good distance from where the replicator infested planet used to be. Sensors now showed it was a black hole. Thor's ship hailed them and explained that the Asguard had collapsed Othala's sun in order to destroy the replicators. Harry explained that they had just acquired technology that should destroy the replicators for good from the Ancient repository.
They all watched as the replicators formed into a mass and began pulling away from the black hole. Once they were far enough away Harry fired the ARG and watched as the energy wave caused the replicators to disintegrate. Harry transmitted the designs for the ARG technology to Thor who gladly accepted them in case they encountered more replicators. The Asguard would
be a long time in rebuilding and would still have to deal with their genetic issue. Harry got Thor to promise to keep them updated on the genetic issue and they head back to earth.
The next day after they got back from the Ida Galaxy Harry went on a mission that he had been planning for ever since the mission where SG-1 ended up in 1969 and he had started his time research. He was going back to that night in 1981 that his parents were killed. He was also going to stop over and pick up Sam's mom. He wanted it to be a surprise for his wife so he took Arista instead. Harry had been updating the rescued Alteran's genome at a steady pace to allow them more versatile use of their abilities like his wives and lovers had. He had also converted Freya (Anise's host) over to an Alteran. He decided that if they wanted it he would be converting all of his lovers to the newest version of Alteran (none of them ever turned him down).
When they arrived back in 81' Harry replaced his parents with golems with spell generators. He watched as Riddle deactivated the golems and was ejected from his body. Harry's parents were amazed when he explained who he was. It was a tearful reunion; his mother wouldn't stop hugging him. It was rather weird because he was now older than his parents by quite a bit, due to time travel and time dilation. Harry just went with it as the craziness that was his life.
They traveled up to the day Sam's mom was killed in a car crash. They replaced her with a golem and watched as it was deactivated in the car accident. Harry made sure they all watched the golem's deactivation so they knew to avoid that fate. When Sam's mother, Karen, was introduced as one of Harry's mother in laws they were all first dumbstruck and then shocked at his use of the words one of. James couldn't take the grin off his face. Harry just looked at them and said, "What you guys left me the heir to 6 lordship titles."
There was again shock when they were informed that Arista was over 10k years old. Harry took the resurrected parents back to AP where he offered to upgrade their genome to new Alteran (it's what I'm going to call it). When Karen saw the powers Harry had she accepted. Harry had Alice send Jacob a message to come to earth (he wasn't currently on any missions). He told Sam to bring her father over to AP in one of the transporters when he arrived.
Up until now Jacob hadn't been told of the full Alteran empire that Harry and his people were rebuilding but Harry decided it was time. Harry explained to Karen and his parents about the Tokra so that they understood about Jacob and himself. Karen asked the question that Harry had half been hoping to hear her say. She asked if it was possible for her to become a Tokra so that she could be with her husband. Harry told her that she could and that he knew of the perfect symbiote for her.
Egeria had been healed enough to leave Harry for about a month now but hadn't yet because he would miss her. Karen would be the perfect host because she was now as important to Harry as Egeria was because she is Sam's mum. The group went over to see the Longbottoms. Alice totally flipped when she saw Lily. There was a lot of hugging, crying, and laughing. If Harry
wasn't an empath he was sure he would have been as lost as the rest of the men looked at how to handle the emotional scene. Harry had gotten a lot of practice in over the years at dealing with emotions.
When Sam and Jacob arrived from earth the same incident ensued but was much stronger because it was because of the return of family instead of best friends. When they were calm enough to speak again Harry explained what had happened and took the 2 couples (James and Lily and Jacob and Karen) on a tour of AP after he made some modifications to Jacob and gave them all copies of the bands. For Jacob he transferred his consciousness into a younger clone body and then Selmak into the new body. The genome of the new body was then updated to new Alteran. They decided to transfer Egeria to Karen at the same time. Harry made Egeria promise to block out the memories of Harry having sex with Sam from her new host (don't even think about the fact that Egeria is technically the mother of Selmak).
James went ecstatic when Harry showed them how to use the flight harnesses for their tour. He loved being able to fly without a broom. They all loved AP and their new residences even more so. Harry gave each couple a home next to his own. Harry also informed Egeria and Selmak that he was giving Dakara to them as the new Tokra home world as long as they promised to make sure the Alteran wave generator device there was taken care of and kept from being misused, which the Tokra Alterans gladly agreed to.
The planet was rendered invisible to all but Alteran ships and terraformed to be as lush as AP. The Tokra would be safe and thrive there now that Egeria was returned to them. When Harry went to bed that night with Arista, Sam, and Hermione (the others were staying in Atlantis) he thanked god that he was part veela or he wouldn't survive his reward for what he did for Sam.
The next day Harry took the opportunity to go to Gringotts and reestablish accounts for his parents. While he was there he checked out Myrrdin's vault to see if there was anything he missed because he hadn't been to the vault since he found out about the stargates. He was surprised that once he was granted entrance after a mental examination that the interior of the vault looked bigger. He was even more shocked when he was greeted by a hologram of his ancestor.
His grandfather (going to leave out the 8 times part but it's implied) told him that he was now ready for some more heirlooms now that he knew about the stargate and his Alteran heritage. The vault gave him a location where some of the things were kept and told him that more would be revealed later. It was located in Glastonbury. Harry decided to bring the rest of SG-1 and make it an official exploratory mission, Tealc was always good to have around in a fight as backup. If there was anything he didn't care for them to see he could easily enough confound the rest of the team.
Now that Dr. Weir was on Atlantis Jack had been promoted to general and was in charge of the SGC. Sam was promoted to Lt. Colonel (she had already been promoted a few years back) and
put in charge of SG-1. They picked up a new guy as another member named Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell. He had been a very good 302 pilot during the recent Anubis incident.
They rode a 303 over the site and used the ring transporter to get into it because there was an energy distortion field to prevent other means of transportation. One of the first defenses they encountered was a hard light projected hologram that took the form of the legendary black night. Harry pulled the sword out of the stone (he was tempted to try using his Gryffindor blade) and fought the night. Alice told him the emitters weren't in the walls so he told her to focus her scans on the night. Sure enough there was a tiny anti grav powered mobile emitter in the nights chest where it's heart would be.
Harry handily stabbed the hard light projection in the chest and watched it dissipate. When Cameron asked him where he learned to fight like that he replied, "I'm a British lord." The group stuck together and encountered a test with numbers, which were mirrors of the numbers they were used to, that they had to sort in order. Once they got past that test they encountered a room that beamed in artifacts and treasure. Harry picked up stones that he vaguely recognized as telepathic communication stones and set them down to go examine a device he had never run across before.
Harry was examining the device with Alice. It was apparently a dimensional phase device. Harry activated it and was transported to the dimension the device was designed for. He didn't notice Daniel and Cam picking up the stones he had just set down and placing them in a device and collapsing. Harry was examining the readout of the device which was in a separate part of the chamber from the cavern the rest of the team was in. It apparently was a device which allowed Merlin to do research on a weapon to destroy ascended beings because of the Ori threat. It gave a gate address to a planet where the research was conducted.
When Harry shifted back over to his normal dimension he was surprised to find the cavern empty. He accessed the pnet and found that the Prometheus was over the SGC and that the others were in the infirmary of the base. He guessed that the others had left when he disappeared because he had spent several hours examining Merlin's research notes. What he didn't understand was why they were in the infirmary. He understood when he examined the weird energy readings that Harry was getting from Cam and Daniels life signs.
Harry shadow traveled (which Merlin didn't block since he was the only other one that could do it) directly to the empty corridor (he checked the pnet satellite) outside of the infirmary and ran inside. They had activated a communications terminal that was from the original Ori controlled galaxy. Harry interfaced with the device and turned it off. When Daniel and Cam came back he asked them what they had experienced.
They apparently had told the Ori all about the humans of this galaxy and brought the promise of their wrath down upon the Milky Way. Harry was really starting to regret bringing the rest of the team. Apparently Daniel had found a book on Alteran history and had become excited about
meeting the people in their home galaxy. He had tried to greet them and become friends with them.
Harry immediately left for the Pegasus to discuss this new development with the other Alterans. The next day, while Harry was in Pegasus, the Prometheus left earth under Hammond's command for Pegasus to try out the newly upgraded Asguard hyperdrive. Daniel was going along for the ride. Harry insisted that they take Sirius along for the ride as extra security. His godfather still hadn't calmed down but he was becoming much more laid back now that his best friend had seemingly returned from the dead.
As Harry later found out the Prometheus deviated from it's flight path to assist a ship that was sending out a distress call. They were tricked and got boarded by an Anubis warrior. As soon as the incident started Sirius went invisible just like Harry taught him. Apparently Daniel, Hammond, and any other SGC personnel that had a shield had felt safe enough not to wear their shields that Harry provided them and all of them got stunned and ringed off the ship for it.
Harry had trained Sirius in combat himself. Sirius used his personal computer watch to scan the warrior and detected that it was in fact a woman with naquadah in her blood but no active symbiote. Sirius apparently wanted to figure out what was going on since she hadn't killed anybody yet. He had detected that she wore an additional shield that would block a shot that would normally kill an Anubis warrior from his gauntlet so he made himself visible and attempted it.
She turned around a stunned him with a zat gun, or she would have if he hadn't had his shield at skin level. He pretended to be stunned and watched as she tied him up on the ship's command chair. When he woke up he got her to talk a bit and she came on to him. The effect was lost with the fact she was still wearing the voice synthesizer that the suit came with. When she did remove her helmet Sirius later told Harry it was love at first sight, or in Sirius case lust at first sight.
She apparently tried a unique version of torture for the command codes of the ship. She shot him in the shoulder and then healed him. Sirius used the control that Harry taught him over the bands to make the shield allow the shot past his shield into his shoulder and to make his band not heal the wound. Harry taught Sirius one of his rules to survive by. What's a little pain when it makes your enemy underestimate you.
At this point they ended up getting in a physical fight where she started losing so she slipped an armband of some sort onto Sirius. She then apparently tried to seduce Sirius at which point he made sure that his shield was on full at the surface of his skin and went with it. They ended up having sex (only Sirius would have sex in a situation like that Harry later mused) after which she tried to stun him. He just laughed and kissed her shocked face. Sirius took back control of the ship with his computer watch and piloted it back to the Alkesh where the crew was.
Vala Maldoran, as she later identified herself, revealed that the band she used on Sirius was used in a marriage ritual so that if she and Sirius were separated by too much distance they would pass out and then eventually die. The funny thing was that Sirius used telepathy on her to figure out how to get it off, just in case (he wanted it left on), and she didn't know how to remove it correctly. She had apparently trusted the instructions of somebody she stole the devices off of.
So Vala had to spend the whole trip to Pegasus in Sirius quarters, which Sirius really enjoyed. They apparently were so much alike it was scary. They had both suffered horribly traumatic experiences in their life (Goauld and Dementors). When Harry examined the arm bands when they got to Pegasus he knew he could remove them easily but Sirius begged him not too. Harry acquiesced but did give Sirius' computer watch the deactivation procedure as well as a nullification field that would cancel out the residual effect that would last a while after the bracelets were removed in case he changed his mind.
Harry was busy running back and forth between Atlantis and Pegasus to go on missions at both Atlantis and the SGC. Harry slept in a time dilation field and traveled back in time whenever he needed to be in 2 places at once (he didn't want to use a golem for active missions). He decided to take Vala and Sirius with him on his SG-1 missions so that Sirius could get experience and Harry could keep an eye on Vala.
The 2 were getting quite close. O'Neill wanted to send them on a mission to find out how to remove the bands when it became apparent that the method she knew was incorrect but Vala was very tight lipped when it came to the address she got them from. She apparently had been growing very fond of Sirius. Harry was very careful about being pranked now that his father was back with Sirius, Vala apparently enjoyed the past time greatly. He generally had Alice scanning all around him for the hidden pranks at all times. Sirius was subtle in his use of his powers, explaining it off as Star tech so that Vala never found out about him being Alteran.
AN: I'm pretty much skipping the rest of the SG-1 episodes for season 8 and skipping directly to season 9 since those episodes can all be easily dealt with and are immaterial to the Ori. A great many of the Atlantis episodes from season 1 will be gone too. Rising has already been explained as well as Hide and Seek. The labs were sealed so the Athosian children (which I'm about to bring to Atlantis) never got in.
When Harry got back to Atlantis he went out with the first team to get some intel on how the situation in the galaxy was since their last intel was 10k years out of date. The first planet they visited they encountered a nomadic people called the Athosians. Their leader, Teyla Emagan, was very friendly and very beautiful. They had tea with the locals while running scans of the old Alteran outpost that was next to the Athosian village. There was nothing substantial left in the outpost.
While they were there 3 wraith darts came through the gate to apparently cull the locals as Teyla had explained it. She and John were off in a cave somewhere looking at cave paintings. Harry
had Alice disable the gate so the darts couldn't get away and sent the PJ that was doing the scans after them. All offworld teams were to take one of the newly upgraded PJs with them as well as a Star employee (an Alteran) on any mission through the gate. Harry was the Alteran for this team.
The PJ shot down 2 of the darts while still cloaked and Harry took out the third with his gauntlet. The Athosians were a mixture of amazed and shaken up. Harry invited them back to Atlantis to live on the mainland. When he explained that it was unlikely that the wraith would be able to find the planet since he had put countermeasures preventing it they gladly accepted. Harry noticed that Teyla was wearing a necklace that she hadn't worn before. Alice informed him it was giving off a subspace signal.
From using telepathy Harry determined that Teyla had no clue about the necklace. He had Alice interface with the device and permanently disable it so that it was just the piece of jewelry that Teyla thought it was.
AN: 38 minutes didn't happen because the jumpers have shields and so do the personnel so it would never have been damaged and John's infection wards as well as shields would have blocked the bug.
On the next planet that the team, which now consisted of Teyla, Sheppard, Harry, Lt. Aiden Ford, and Rodney McKay went to they encountered a civilization of young people that committed ritual suicide because they thought that was what kept the wraith away. What really kept them away was a zpe field that nullified all electronics, except ones that were specially shielded against said field. Harry had shielded the jumper knowing about the field from the database. Alice and all of his technology was shielded as well.
It took some work but they finally managed to convince the locals that the suicide wasn't what kept the wraith away. Harry checked the shield generator and made sure it was working properly. The zpm was nearly depleted so Harry recharged it when the others weren't around. Harry gave the local leader a subspace communicator in case they ever wanted to expand their population. He could always install another field generator.
On their second mission through the gate (38 minutes) they had encountered several wraith that tried attacking them. They managed to fight them off thanks to their gauntlets and shields. One of them got close enough that Harry was able to fight him hand to hand and knock him unconscious. Harry called the cloaked PJ to kill the rest. They managed to get the captured wraith back to Atlantis. Sheppard named him Steve. He was kept in a force field protected cell. Harry kept him alive on the same chemicals he had the golem synthesize when he rescued Arista but it wouldn't last for long. They apparently weren't sustaining enough for more than trickery with a golem or short durations. Harry suspected there might be a little more to the wraith feeding process than his initial scans on the derelict Aurora ship picked up.
On the next planet they came to they met a civilization called the Hoffans. The Hoffans were developing a drug to keep a wraith from being able to feed on a person. Sheppard volunteered Becket to help speed up the development. Harry managed to acquire samples and copies of all of their research which he took back to Atlantis. He put a team of Alteran scientists on making the drug work. They worked under a time dilation field to speed up their progress.
They used advanced modeling software that Becket didn't have access to which allowed them to predict that the drug in it's current form would kill roughly 50% of the population. They ended up testing the drug on their wraith Steve and found out it killed him. The man they used to test was terminally ill. He ended up dying after the test but Harry revived him by having the revival team render him unconscious when they retrieved him and transferring him to a healthy clone body. The Hoffans were amazed at the display of power.
Another team of Alteran scientists had worked under time dilation field to develop a transporter that worked off of the wormhole drive technology. It basically broke down the objects molecules and transported it through a wormhole. It didn't have the white flash that the previous technology did and Harry knew of only one way to jam it, an anti apparition field. Unlike with a stargate the transporter wouldn't be able to get a lock instead of blowing up if it was being blocked.
Harry's retrieval team used this method of extraction now. Thanks to the wormhole drive and TTE the extraction teams could work in Pegasus just fine, and still be based out of the Milky Way. When the Hoffans began distribution of the drug against Beckett's advice Harry was glad of his revival teams enhanced abilities. A flood of ptel into their system flushed the drug out of the bodies of the still living Hoffans but Harry had to use the revival techniques on the dead ones. Luckily it was around that time that the Alteran team had perfected the drug to the point that it didn't kill any of the people who were inoculated with it.
Harry and the other Alterans could see the advantage in the drug if they could inoculate everybody in the galaxy at once. Harry immediately ordered construction begun of the probes with hyperspace capabilities to do so. It would take many months at the least, if not years, to construct enough to do so but would be worth it. Once all of the Hoffan people were well again and inoculated with the Alteran version of the drug the team left back to Atlantis. Harry left a pnet satellite in orbit around all of the Pegasus gates he went to.
This would allow him to know if the wraith traveled there so that he could defend the planet in question with his forces. He also gave the Hoffans a remote that deactivated or reactivated their stargate, so that they and the Alterans were the only ones that could allow their gate to work. The wraith would have to come by ship and that way Harry would be able to defend them in minutes.
Harry's forces currently consisted of 40 upgraded PJs, 2 upgraded Aurora class ships, and all of the upgraded former Goauld Hatac vessels. When Harry got back to Atlantis he concentrated on
finding one of Janus' labs. It turned out he found the reference for the location in the database. Janus was observed walking down a dead end corridor many times. When Harry checked the wall sconces on that hallway he discovered that 3 of them in a row generated a tone when touched.
He had Alice record the tones and generate them in all of the possible patterns until she got the right one while he leaned against the wall. His hunch was right. Janus did use a harmonic resonance wall. When the lab was powered up Harry started going through the database. He found all kinds of interesting experiments, including the original research notes on ascension.
Finally Harry found the notes he was looking for on a device called the Attero device by the Alterans. The Alterans Harry rescued on the ship had apparently been in stasis quite a bit before the war ended. There must not have been any Alterans left in the city to monitor the emergency beacons, so nobody knew they needed rescued. Apparently Janus got the wraith hyperdrive frequencies from another source because he was able to make the device work. Unfortunately the device, which was essentially a galaxy wide anti apparition ward, destabilized wormhole subspace frequencies too.
It destroyed all activate stargates in the galaxy. Janus had never had time before the end of the war to come up with a solution to the problem so he had to abandon the project. Harry now had the location of the device. Before Harry could go any further with the project Alice informed him that an unknown ship was exiting hyperspace within the planets atmosphere and heading their way.
Harry shadow traveled to the city's control room and checked the shield generators. Harry had seriously overhauled the cities shields when he arrived in Pegasus. They were still at the bottom of one of the oceans but Harry could be called a paranoid bastard. The shields were present in all 11 dimensions and included an anti apparition ward that was only turned off when the stargate was dialed. It was like the iris on earth in that a GDO signal had to be sent through subspace or the wormhole wouldn't even establish because the field would remain up.
Harry even developed a shield that would prevent reality travel within the space the shield encompassed. All of Harry's measures apparently paid off when the ship tried to phase through their shields. It would take a special code to drop the phase shield for any one of the 11 dimensions, all of which Harry had updated himself. The ship must have had very good inertial dampeners because it didn't explode, it just bounced off.
Harry had 3 PJs dispatched, which quickly surrounded the ship with weapons armed. They quickly hailed the armed ships identifying themselves as Asguard. They eventually gave the story that they got stranded here during the Alteran wraith war and were trying to activate the Attero device to get rid of the wraith before they emerged into the galaxy. They had managed to better their cloning techniques a little more than their brethren, giving themselves more time to fix the problem.
Harry informed them that he was planning to activate the device himself very soon here. He told them to return to the planet the device was on and he would meet them there in about 12 hours (he would finish his plans under time dilation field). Under time dilation field Harry and a team of Alterans constructed a device that they would send through all of the stargates in the Pegasus galaxy at the same time by dialing all of the gates at the same time.
The device was rather simple in what it was designed to do. The Pegasus Alterans had become very good at nanotechnology when they tried to use it to make a weapon against the wraith. The device was a sphere that was about 5 inches in diameter. It would float through the gate using an anti grav drive and inject a nanite filled fluid into the gate itself. This fluid would not allow the gate to turn on until it received a subspace encrypted password from Atlantis and would turn off again if the correct password was sent.
This allowed them to activate the Attero device without the nasty side effect of stargates blowing up. The downside was that the wormhole drive could not function within the Pegasus galaxy, nor could the new transporter tech. Harry considered it worth the inconvenience to have to use conventional hyperdrive technology. It would just add an extra ten minutes on his journey to travel to the edge of Pegasus, outside the anti apparition field, and then travel the rest of the way on wormhole drive.
Luckily the TTE drive still functioned because it differed enough to not be affected. Harry and the Alterans sent all of the devices, which they decided too call the gate remote, through the stargate as soon as all of the offworld teams they sent out got back from the recall. They would disable the gates right before they activated the Attero device the next day so as not to give the wraith any advanced warning.
Luckily it appeared that the wraith hibernated on worlds that didn't contain any humans. This was probably because they didn't want to run the risk of being attacked by the locals in their sleep. This meant that it was unlikely that any of the hive ships would be stranded close to a planet with humans on it. Very few of the hives appeared to be active yet.
When they activated the device the next day it went off without a hitch. The Asguard agreed to stand watch over the device to make sure no wraith came after it. Harry gave these Asguard help with their cloning technology because he felt it wouldn't look any more suspicious that he could be Alteran than it already did. They didn't keep in contact with their Ida counterparts so there wasn't much danger of it getting back to earth.
He didn't completely perfect it for them but he did show them how to draw their original genetic structure out of their soul so they would have a few more years before the errors in their soul mutated into a virus. He would eventually help them all the way if it proved necessary but the new techniques should help them figure it out for themselves.
AN: The episode underground where the Atlantians first encountered the Genii never happened because they never had a food shortage problem, so Teyla never mentioned them. The episode home never occurred because Harry understood that the energy on the planet was living so never tried, or needed to try. The storm and the eye never occurred either because Atlantis is still at the bottom of the ocean. The defiant one didn't take place because Harry and the other Alterans are very restrictive in what technology they allow the humans from earth to see. Weapons and zpm technology are very strictly monitored. The satellite was repaired by constructors when Harry first arrived in Pegasus. For the same reason the lab that was opened during Hot Zone was kept sealed. The humans aren't just allowed to go wondering Atlantis when they like. They are assigned off limits sections and places they are allowed to work in and live.
On their next mission through the gate Harry was piloting the team in his PJ as was the usual for most missions. This mission was the first one where they used the hyperdrive instead of the gate, which they couldn't. When Harry launched the pnet satellite he detected a very powerful zpe source on the planet's surface. He flew the cloaked jumper directly down near it. Judging by the fact that it was moving he was guessing it was an ascended. Harry hit everybody else on the jumper with a sleep charm so he could go have a chat with the ascended.
When Harry saw her he had Alice run her image through the database and she quickly came up with the name Chaya Athar. Harry approached her and greeted her, "Hello Chaya Athar." She seemed shocked that he knew her name. "Judging by the fact that I can detect you so easily I'm guessing that the others punished you for defending the people of this planet," Harry stated. Again she appeared shocked at how much he knew. Like when he met Orlin, Harry didn't use telepathy but his empathic abilities to read her.
"How do you know so much of ascended matters," Chaya asked Harry. "Well considering I've known quite a few, including a few that have been in similar situations to you I should." "I am also the leader of the Alteran people currently in corporeal form." "I have access to my grandfather's original notes from when he discovered ascension." "I've killed an ascended being before." "Take your pick as to how I know so much."
After those statements Harry and Chaya had a nice long discussion about their lives. Chaya confirmed to Harry that his assumptions had been right. Harry asked Chaya why she didn't simply descend. Her reply was that she would be mortal and subject to disease and death not to mention that the others wouldn't allow her to keep very many memories if any at all. Harry smirked and explained to her about his band technology. She was amazed because all of the major theory behind the band technology was research that Janus never published. As far as her memories were concerned Harry simply helped her to back them up in a computer watch which was completely shielded against an ascended because it contained an AABS.
As things usually did with Harry and beautiful woman Chaya asked Harry if he would like to share himself and he agreed. Normally Chaya would have to do all of the work if she did this
with a corporeal being but Harry had done something similar with his wives whenever they made love. With his wives he had to hold back his true power lest he burn them out or hurt them. Now he could really use his true power and even use some from one of his ZPMs to match her own so that it was enjoyable for her too.
Chaya agreed to come back to Atlantis with Harry when he asked her. She was nervous about leaving her people until Harry told her about activating the Attero device and disabling the stargates. Just in case he had the pnet in orbit to alert them to trouble. The others slept all the way back to Atlantis. Harry beamed Chaya down to his quarters before waking the others up and dropping them off.
When Harry got back to his quarters he found Arista talking with Chaya who turned out to be an old friend. From there it devolved into a very nice threesome where Harry was the only one under 10,000 years old involved.
Write smut sex scene
Chaya descended the next day after which Harry set her up with a full arm band set. She lost the full Alteran repository from her mind but Harry fixed that by giving her a copy in the computer watch he previously backed her memories up in. Harry just told the human members of the expedition that Chaya was a new Star employee that just transferred to Pegasus, not that they saw her much. The sections that the humans from earth were allowed to go were not where Chaya usually was, except for the gate room and control tower.
Vala somehow convinced Sirius to talk to Harry about going on a mission to a planet that Katesh, the Goauld who inhabited her, used to rule over. Harry and Sirius would never walk into such a situation without knowing why they were going, well at least Harry wouldn't. When the team got to the planet they made their way into the nearby pyramid. While Vala and Sirius were in another room adjoining the one the rest of the team was in (probably having sex again) a group of the locals came in bearing staff weapons.
While they weren't in any real danger from the staffs thanks to their shields Vala came out wearing her Katesh get up with a voice synthesizer to call off the locals. After she played the part for a bit and the locals were gone Daniel had a really stupid idea. He wanted Vala to come clean about her not being a god. Daniel had been known to have a stupid idea now and then but telling a band of rather primitive villagers that they were tricked into being ruled by a false god was pretty stupid.
Harry brought out his newest toy that he decided to show the team. It was actually a fake remote control that did absolutely nothing but allowed Harry to cast a silencing EM at whoever he pointed it at without revealing his powers. Harry used his new toy to shut Daniel up, stating that stupid people shouldn't speak at the moment. Unfortunately for their luck a prior of the Ori showed up through the gate to try to convert the locals.
The very unfortunate aspect of the Ori was that they potentially had the powers and technology that Harry himself possessed. The truth was that Harry and the Alterans didn't have a clue what the Ori were capable of because the Ori and Alterans split millions of years ago. Unfortunately, with the return of Katesh, the villagers refused to bow to the Ori using the excuse that Katesh would defeat the Ori. Harry was using very passive methods of determining more about the prior. Anything non passive would most likely be detected by the prior.
Using mostly his energy sight Harry found that the prior's had no actual powers themselves besides the ability to control the power in their staff. The staff contained the power of about half a zpm. It appeared that there was some kind of summoning rune engraved on the prior himself along with his staff. It was probably to allow the prior to call his staff to him should he get separated from it. Harry was pretty confident he could take a prior in a fight but that would be a last resort, otherwise he would reveal himself.
The really interesting thing was that the prior's powers seemed to have an EM on them that constantly required a zpe input or the prior would be incinerated from the loss of control of the power staff. After the prior left the planet once he delivered his message people began to fall ill very quickly. Harry started scanning them with Alice's help and determined that the illness was very similar to the Alteran plague. It appeared to be able to be controlled by zpe manipulation that only the priors or the Ori would know the specifics of. Harry started healing the locals, putting them in a clean area warded to keep out the infection so they wouldn't get recontaminated.
When Harry finished with curing the locals he went immediately to the gate and erected the standard wards that he used on every world he went to. The difference is that he tied them to his power when he was on this planet. They had gotten reports of over 40 priors visiting on various planets. When a prior visited a world where Harry had wards they were able to overcome them. Harry would bet that this prior wouldn't be able to overcome him. Sure enough, Harry felt the wards activate and draw power from him.
Harry slammed his power into the wards launching the prior back into the wormhole the wrong way. Harry would later get a laugh out of watching the surprised look on the prior's face from the pnet satellite in orbit. Harry gave the locals a remote that turned their gate on and off when they were leaving. They did leave a golem behind to reveal that Katesh was not a god and to help them build up a more advanced society with at least a basic understanding of the universe.
It wasn't even a week later that the SGC received a message from a minor Goauld that claimed he had information of vital importance to the fight against the Ori. Against Vala's rather dramatic warnings about letting the Goauld, Nerus, into the SGC Jack granted Nerus passage. After feeding the gluttonous goauld's appetite he revealed a hologram showing a force field apparently erected by a prior on a Jaffa world.
SG-1 traveled to the planet in the Prometheus, with the Lily trailing along cloaked. When they got there none of them could figure out what the prior was doing but they decided blowing him up was the best option. They were able to beam down a naquadria enhanced warhead that they called a gate buster using their rather new transporters the Asguard gifted them with.
It turned out that was a rather bad idea because the shield expanded to encompass the entire planet once the warhead went off. Apparently the Ori had learned some new tricks. Harry still couldn't tell what the Ori's ultimate plan was when objects started shooting out of the stargate. They started forming a massive stargate. The others were deciding what to do about it while Harry decided to transport over to the Lily to use it's much better sensors to figure out the Ori's plan to power the massive stargate.
Apparently Harry took too long for Vala and Sirius' liking because they grabbed the spare Goauld cargo ship, which the Prometheus kept in it's hangar bay in case they needed to go undercover in certain territories, and flew it into the space the last stargate link was supposed to occupy. Harry's sensors wouldn't allow him to get a lock on them to transport them out with all of the energy fluctuations. Then he figured out why when the planet started shrinking and a singularity formed.
They apparently tried to transport out with the rings at the last second but the matter stream was drawn into the singularity. This was actually the best move they could have made because the matter stream would have been shunted to the nearest normal gate by the super gate on the other side. Harry was glad Sirius was with Vala because this was one of the scenarios that was planned for. If an Alteran was ever transported into the Ori galaxy they were to lay low and not perform any active EMs.
He could perform EMs inside his computer watch artificial dimension but nothing that would leave his personal illusion ward. The Ori would be able to detect it otherwise. Harry would have to rescue his godfather after he dealt with the Ori. James had to be restrained from charging into the Ori galaxy when he heard the news.
AN: Ba'al is imprisoned on earth so Ex Deus Machina is not being discussed. As far as Babylon goes suffice it to say that the team's shields stopped the attack on them and Harry took out the enemy because he could see through their Alteran cloaking devices. They left the planet and declared it hostile. I'm going to mention The Fourth Horseman but not talk majorly about it. The reason Harry hasn't gone to the Camelot planet yet is because he has been searching all of the information available to him about Janus/Myrrdin so that he doesn't walk into a trap, and that's a lot of information (Atlantis database, journals, research notes, private lab notes, etc.).
The next planet the team traveled to was one where they could observe a black hole that they wanted to check to see if the Ori were using it to power a super gate. Using the planet instead of a ship allowed the SGC to observe unnoticed from a distance without traveling a good distance by ship. The SGC ships were very fast but it would still take a few days to get to the black hole
by ship (Harry was trying to let them become self sufficient instead of relying on him all the time).
What was interesting was that the gate they traveled to wasn't the one they were supposed to be at. They went back to the SGC and redialed the planet. There seemed to be a device connected to the other gate that required a password. Apparently the person that was hiding something didn't expect Alteran level technology to be used against them because Alice was easily able to disable the device.
When they got to the planet the second team started setting up the sensors while SG-1 discovered a lab hidden underground. When they got into the lab Harry immediately went over to the computer console. They discovered a device similar to the DNA manipulation machine Harry got from Niirti (although the others didn't know that). The presence of the device itself made Harry suspect who the lab belonged to.
He was proven right when he started reading the files. It belonged to Anubis. He gained access to knowledge about the device Harry recovered when he ascended. Cam accidently released Anubis' project from stasis while Harry was reading the data from the console. He had the others set the Anubis' project, a clone of his host before he ascended (with some obvious genetic enhancements), on the ground and back away. He used his zat gun on the clone until he disintegrated before he could regain his senses. Harry explained to the others exactly what the being they just discovered was. He explained the dangers of this lab getting out.
With Sam's support the others agreed. They agreed never to speak of what they found here to anybody. They left the lab with a block of C4 behind, which they detonated when they got back to the surface. It turned out that the black hole was not being used by the Ori and they left back for earth after removing the forwarding device.
The next mission that the team went on was to a civilization that was somewhat advanced. They weren't like the average world the SGC came across but nowhere near earth. They did have memory manipulation technology. This fact was very heavily emphasized when the Doctor that Cam managed to hook up with was murdered during the night and Cam was framed for it.
The machine had been used on Cam to give him the memories of himself killing her by the real murderer. Harry revived the doctor and she revealed her true killer to be her ex-husband, Dr. Marell. Marell had removed the memory of murdering his ex after he killed her and framed Cam. Dr. Reya Varrick, the formerly dead doctor, was sickened by her government's response to the incident. They removed the memories of the whole incident from her ex husband's mind so that he could continue to work on the memory device. They expected her to work with him after he killed her. Understandably, she asked for sanctuary on earth and was granted it. She was settled into a home in CS and started dating Cam.
About a week later there was a weird crash and energy pulse that hit the iris, as Jack described it, during an unscheduled incoming wormhole. The even weirder part was that SG-1 then walked through the gate after the iris open. The strangeness continued when they did so without Harry. When Jack asked them where James was (they all still knew him as James) they were confused and had no idea who Jack was talking about. Jack had been in enough weird situations to know that something was up so had them detained.
Soon Harry and the rest of the team arrived back on earth at the time they were originally scheduled to return. When they went to interrogate their new guests Harry used telepathy on them. He discovered their intentions to steal the zpm they assumed was on Atlantis in this reality to power their chair in Antarctica. Harry actually agreed that he too would do just about anything to save his earth if the situation was reversed. In the grand scheme of things there were an infinite number of realities so if somebody did something to alter another reality it didn't matter too much. He told them all they had to do was ask and gave them 3 ZPMs. They already had a method to get back home that Harry helped them out with.
He gave them an inter reality communicator and told them to give him a call if they ever needed help again. He made sure they understood not to tell any of the SGC personnel in his reality what had transpired. It was rather simple to collapse the bridge between realities which they had created to get here.
SG-1's next mission was scrubbed in order for them to complete a mission that the brass considered more important, babysitting IOC representatives while they took an offworld tour of the gamma site. All offworld bases had been put under strict regulations for their operation which Harry managed to convince the world leaders to enact. A few of these ended up being very beneficial in this incident.
A bug that was suspected of being engineered by the Ori codenamed R75 was being researched at the gamma site. One of the researchers apparently fed the specimens meatloaf after a long starvation cycle. The bugs apparently mutated into being carnivorous and completely filled up their containment unit by going through a rapid reproduction cycle. These containment units were one of the things Harry made the president and other IOC officials agree to.
They were made out of one of the hardest polymers that the Alterans could manufacture (could resist a nuke), while the exterior was reinforced with a shield generator should the casing fail. In case of situations where the specimens became hostile and tried to breach containment the unit was flooded with fire close to the temperature of Fiendyfire. The R75 specimens were vaporized without a trace left as soon as they tried to breach the containment unit.
Any research that was suspected of having Ori origins was copied and conducted by Star employees (Alterans) on Atlantis and similar research facilities spread throughout two galaxies. These Alteran research teams had already provided earth and other races with a drug that cured the prior plague. This R75 was the Ori's response. It didn't take the Alteran researchers long to
come up with a chemical capable of wiping out the bugs but not harming anything else thanks to time dilation fields. The fields weren't so easy to generate before EM theory (spell theory) was develop by Janus after he returned to earth but were now quite easy to produce if the method was known, which it was among the Alteran people. Harry had no problem with letting his people know about time dilation fields, because they only had trouble with time travel.
They also weren't used in the distant past because significant time spent inside would cause faster aging and a shorter life span relative to the time outside the field. In the past the Alterans could transfer themselves to clone bodies but most considered it unnatural and would never do it more than once. Now with the age bands that Harry created it wasn't a problem to spend long periods of time within the fields, after all every Alteran on Atlantis was immortal.
AN: Crusade is being left out because Vala and Sirius are lying low and are under careful scrutiny from the Ori because Vala is carrying the Orici.
Harry finally felt he was ready to face whatever his grandfather set up for traps, so SG-1 set off for the planet specified in Myrrdin's notes. When they got there it looked like they had stepped back into the middle ages. If Harry didn't know better he would have gone back to check to make sure they didn't pass through any solar flares on their trip through the wormhole. The village leader soon came to greet them and told them they were now in Camelot.
It turned out the locals didn't particularly like Merlin. They didn't even like to talk about him. They did finally admit to him having a library in their town. Cam got one of the local teenagers to show them where it was located. The local historian had a key that disabled the wards on the door. Harry figured he could probably tear down the wards but there was a good chance that whatever was inside would be destroyed or not revealed if entry was forced.
To solve their problem and not alert the villagers that the fabled curse that they had informed SG-1 would be activated should the library be opened was actually unleashed Harry had Alice conjure a fake key using her scans of the original, which was around the local historian's neck. He then performed a switching spell to replace the duplicate key with the original. The historian never knew that he was no longer carrying the original key. Once they were inside they started searching the many books for reference to the weapon. A few hours into their search they heard a scream from the village and went to check it out.
Apparently the curse was another hard light black night which had killed the historian. The village leader got really pissed off when he found out the library had been opened and was going to demand that SG-1 leave but Harry used his remote to silence the man. He then walked over to the dead historian and revived the man so that all of the villagers in the room could see. They didn't bother SG-1 much after that display of powerful "magic". When they got back to their reading Cam stumbled onto a secret passage that led into a hidden basement in the library.
Myrrdin wasn't as stupid as Anubis and had taken into account advanced beings searching for his weapon. The entire library was shielded against scanning. They found another chamber with a control pedestal like that which controlled the Alteran device on Dakara. It was an old Alteran design that Harry never really cared for. Right when they were about to get started searching this new chamber and the console the Odyssey, a new 303 class ship, showed up and beamed the team aboard to inform them that the Ori had established a second super gate.
Daniel and Harry asked to stay behind so that they could continue searching. Harry told the captain he would meet them at the fight in his ship after a little longer searching. The captain beamed them back to the entrance of the library (couldn't beam into the library through the shielding without a strong locator beacon already inside of the shielded area, one of which SG-1 all carried). Alice interfaced with the console but Myrrdin put some pretty advanced encryptions on the console, even for Alice.
Alice finally got through the encryptions and activated a hologram. Apparently it also triggered the black night on the surface again because there was more screaming, so Harry quickly got Alice to shut down the holographic program for the knight. They saw the device that was called the Sangral on the hologram of Myrrdin's neck. The village leader came down to see what was going on and told them that Arthur left to quest for the Sangral years ago on 3 planets. The 3 planets were Castiana, Zahal, and Vegunbrae.
Knowing that the weapon wasn't present Harry transported himself and Daniel aboard the Lily. He jumped close to the super gate using the wormhole drive. There was a vast fleet of war ships arrayed around the gate. Unfortunately that included one lower class Asguard science vessel. It being a science vessel meant that it's sensors would be top notch. Harry had to be careful not to reveal too much at this skirmish. He transported Daniel aboard the Odyssey and Sam aboard the Lily.
A lot of Harry's PJ fleet was currently busy in Pegasus protecting planets where the wraith were stranded without hyperdrive. A good portion of the golem Hatac fleet was here as well as the earth 303s. The gate was already active when Harry got there and 8 ships came through (it's an AU and the Ori considered a larger threat since one of their priors was already killed).
Harry's scans told him that they were in big trouble. The power sources for the ships were equal to at least 3 ZPMs. Either the devices were in some sort of PDS matrix or the Ori had managed to solve the problems the Alterans had when they tried to create more powerful ZPMs. Harry was willing to bet that the second scenario was the actual case because the Ori were not opposed to progress at high costs. They would commence with experimentation that the Alterans considered too unethical or dangerous.
Unfortunately the Ori ships were very well shielded. They were multiphase shields as well as shielding against reality travel and wormholes through a type of anti apparition field. Harry was watching the scene with his energy sight and could see zpe coming through the gate. The
ascended Ori were boosting the ships capabilities through the active gate. There was no way the Milky Way fleet was going to win against this fleet near that open gate. Harry picked up Vala and Sirius' life signs on one of the ships but he could not transport them. Harry ordered the fleet to concentrate fire on one ship at a time and the battle was on.
The combined power of the Milky Way fleet managed to bring down 2 of the ships but it was at a very high cost. A good deal of the Hatac fleet was destroyed as well as 2 of the 303s (Russia and China), luckily they were able to use their transporters to beam over to their sister ships before their destruction. It was one of the protocols that Harry was able to modify the transporters to be capable of should the vessel be about to be destroyed. The Asguard vessel was severely damaged and had to withdraw. None of the Alteran built ships were damaged because their energy and cloaking shielding was on full as well as their fidelus shields that kept them in a pocket dimension.
Harry ordered a retreat of the fleet because the rest of the non-Alteran designed ships would start to get destroyed since they were so close to the gate. The Ori power was augmenting their ships too greatly to win at this time.
AN: I am making the Ori ships more powerful in this story because they were on an equal level with the Alterans. The Alterans were millions of years old. They were so old and knowledgeable that the Asguard studied 15% of their repository for millennia and still barely scratched the surface. I realize that the writers of Stargate had to give earth a way to counter the Ori ships but I just don't see it being the Asguard like in the episode unending. The Asguard were a much younger race. Also I'm writing it like this because I don't like bouncing back and forth between episodes for Atlantis and SG-1 in my writing so I'll break it up into chunks of Atlantis and chunks of SG-1 but realize the episodes happened in an alternating fashion.
Back In Pegasus:
AN: In Atlantis I last left off with the episode Sanctuary. The episode Before I Sleep did not occur in my AU (alternate universe in case you didn't know or forgot) because Harry came through with ZPMs and didn't need to travel back in the time ship to alert Janus to the problems. The episode Brotherhood was based off of addresses Janus gave to the Alternate Reality Weir (the one stuck in the stasis pod), so that episode doesn't exist.
Because the Ori attackers were powered by extremely powerful zpe sources Harry ordered that the Trinity power source research be resumed. Harry erected a time dilation field that encompassed all 11 dimensions on the research station so that it wouldn't interfere with the research. Several things that Janus developed after he left Pegasus or research he never incorporated into the general public knowledge was used.
Janus was a lot more of a risk taker than the average Alteran scientist. It was probably this fact that made him so much better at making ground breaking discoveries. The method that Janus
used to access pocket dimensions allowed for PDs (pocket dimensions) inside of PDs because the "connection" or "address" between 2 separate dimensions was "fluid" enough to shift to another dimension whenever one went inside of the other.
Most of the PJ fleet was out protecting as many worlds as possible from the wraith. It was probably only a matter of time until the wraith were smart enough to alter their hyperspace frequencies enough to be able to travel again. For this reason every world they defended the Hoffan drug was deployed in aerosol form to the entire population so that they would be immune against feeding.
A pnet satellite was left in orbit to alert the Alterans to the presence of more wraith on any planet they visited. The Alterans were constructing more PJs with the same design Harry provided minus the TTE. It was discovered that Teyla's ancestors had been experimented on by a rogue wraith many years ago. It was discovered when she began exhibiting nightmares of the wraith and being a wraith.
Harry checked her with telepathy and discovered that she had the ability herself. The wraith gained telepathic abilities because they evolved from Eratis bugs (the bug that tried to attack Sheppard on the planet they captured Steve) that had fed off of Alterans. The wraith got some of the Alteran intelligence (luckily not all of it) along with their healing abilities to complement the bugs own as well as the Alteran telepathy. Harry suspected that Teyla's fighting abilities were augmented by her wraith DNA.
The Trinity power source was finally a success with the improvements to zpe theory Janus discovered at the time when he became Myrrdin. The problem before was that the zpe brought with it exotic particles when too much of it was drawn in one dimension. It either shunted the exotic particles into an AR causing the eventual destruction of the AR or into real space, which was even worse. If the exotic particles were drawn into real space (our dimensional space) it would cause the destruction of our reality if enough were collected.
The new PD accessing methods allowed for the exotic particles to be filtered in extra dimensional space before they reached the dimension that humans and most beings they interacted with exist in. The exotic particles were distributed through several higher dimensions instead of being built up in one. They were then allowed to flow back into their normal dimensions and states. This allowed for the drawing of power levels of zpe consistent with what was detected on the Ori ships, at least 3 times an old zpm in each new one. Harry ordered the new designs to be integrated into all current ships and the weapons upgraded to handle the power.
The data from the Ori battle showed that the Ori fleet used a main beam weapon that Harry calculated could only be fired in 1 second pulses and had to cool down every 2 seconds. Harry designed his new ships with the same system but with 3 beam weapons, conduits, and power sources so that he could fire one while the other 2 were cooling down. With this method he
would be able to fire a continuous beam that would overload most shields very quickly. Harry powered this system with 4 of the new super ZPMs.
This was equivalent to 12 of the old kind of zpm. The shield that prevented the flow of zpe from one area to the next that Harry incorporated into much of his technology was used so that the super ZPMs (they are going to be referred to as Trinity ZPMs from now on) didn't interfere with each other. Each one would draw from one of the four corners of a cube of space with the way they were positioned (even though higher dimensional space acted differently for some of it's geometrical configurations). The 4th super ZPM was used for the ships shields and other systems. This configuration could only be used for the aurora class ships.
Harry figured out that it wasn't very safe to store the hardware for the beam weapon in a PD. Harry was able to make a scaled down version of the hardware for his PJs but with only one canon (so it fired like the Ori ships). It did allow for the Trinity ZPMs to be stored in PDs, so the PJ had one for the weapon and one for the shield and other systems. After the upgrade Harry thought that he could seriously take on the Ori and the wraith, who weren't able to seriously fight the Alterans 10k years ago without vastly superior numbers let alone after all of these upgrades.
