Okay this is chapter 0 a pilot chapter to explain how and why things are the way they will be in this story starting here with an alternate version of the scenes of the "Disclosure" episode.
I will be tweaking the dates to better fit my story.
Enjoy.
The French President Nicholas Sarkozy was talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping about the recent cover stories America had told them concerning meteors that were heading towards Earth the meteors became fireballs in the sky. President Sarkozy said "America is hiding something, but what?"
President Jinping said "President Kinsey asked us here for a reason. It can't be what he told the public it is."
Meanwhile the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron was talking to the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about the huge amount of money that America was spending on Deep Space Radar Telemetry. Prime Minister Clegg said "America is spending billions on this Deep Space Radar Telemetry, America is clearly hiding something and this has been obvious for some time now. Yet Russia seems to have no problem with it."
Before Medvedev could give an answer as the US President Robert Kinsey entered the briefing room where the leaders of France, United Kingdom, Russia and China along with military adjutants, translators and bodyguards were waiting for him along with two US Air Force officers.
The public had been told that this meeting was to discuss global reduction of the number of nuclear weapons on Earth. However, Kinsey invited them here to let them know of the Stargate and wanting them to help defend Earth, under the guidance of America of course and all alien military technology going to the US military, in case another world war broke out, America had to be able to achieve victory in any potential Third World War.

Author's note: This is one of those disaster-realities where Kinsey Is/was elected.

President Kinsey sat down as did the other world leaders and Kinsey continued by saying "I'd like to apologize for the security measures you had to undergo to get here. I have asked you all here to inform you of a top-secret operation that has been ran for the last few years."
One of the air force officers stood up and went over to a video screen as he introduced himself as Major Davis. The Major said "The United States Air Force has been operating out of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. It's called the Stargate Program."
Davis went on to explain what the Stargate was "The device itself was discovered in Egypt in 1928 where it lay buried for several thousand years. In 1945, a team of scientists hoping to find a military application for the device successfully established a stable wormhole by a process of random dialling. It was, for all intents and purposes, a lucky accident, which they were unable to repeat. The Gate remained inactive. Until eight years ago, when Dr Daniel Jackson joined the programme. Dr. Jackson successfully deciphered the symbols on the Gate, allowing us to begin routine exploration of alien worlds. Since that time, Mr. Ambassadors, we have visited literally hundreds of planets. Thousands more remain to be explored."
Prime Minister David Cameron, President Sarkozy and President Jinping were shocked at this revelation and the silence was broken when President Sarkozy asked "Why are we being told about this now? What happened? Did you bring a new plague to this planet?"
Kinsey didn't say a word for a few moments before he told them about the Goa'uld and the threat they posed to Earth. The leaders of the UK, France and China were furious at this revelation to say the least.
…

David Cameron asked angrily "What gave America the right to speak on behalf of Earth and drag us into a war with a universal empire without going to the central world authority, the United Nations?"
Kinsey replied with arrogance in his voice "America is the central world authority."
David Cameron was furious at this comment and in an attempt to deescalate the situation French President Nicholas Sarkozy asked "Why are we only being told about the Goa'uld now. Do you want to inform the public about this threat and are telling us first?"
President Jinping said "If what we've been told is true and we do face invasion. We should tell the world so we can best prepare to face this threat together."
Kinsey shook his head before he said "I believe telling the public will result in mass panic."
At this point, President Sarkozy was starting to get angry at Kinsey's attitude and said "As opposed to the mass panic that will happen when these Goa'uld have their armies marching down our streets!"
President Medvedev nodded in agreement and said "The secret has been kept for too long. It's time to tell the world."
David Cameron said in shock "You knew about this?"
President Medvedev replied "Under President Putin, we ran our own Stargate Program for a brief time. Recently though that gate was destroyed."
At this point, General Hammond spoke up and said "The mandate of the Stargate Program is to acquire technology to help defend this planet. Countless times Earth has been saved from destruction without the public finding out."
Hammond had flinched visibly at Kinsey's arrogant words earlier.
David Cameron than asked "What technologies has America acquired through the Stargate?"
…
…
…
….. Stargate Command, Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado…...
Ever since Robert Kinsey became president of the United States of America, he had unceremoniously handed the SGC over to NID control as he had never trusted the US military, and least of all the famous SG-1.
But not all of the US military had remained loyal to Kinsey and with some unlikely help from a certain rogue Asgard, they had managed to quietly start evacuating civilians – families of the members of the SGC and other mutineers among the US military as a failsafe in the event that the Kinsey loyalists may try and use them as hostages.
A pair of guards didn't think of it when men and women in US military uniforms came out of the main elevator, as this was after all beneath NORAD and military personnel that came all the way down there to travel through the stargate wasn't that strange, until they started pulling up weapons like Zat guns and began stunning the surprised NID guards.
Elsewhere at Stargate Command, the guards patrolling was quickly neutralised as US troops were beamed into the base by the rogue Asgard Loki including former Stargate Command personnel among them SG-1.
"I can't believe that we're actually being helped by Loki!?" Jack exclaimed as he shot another NID agent.
"Well, he did explain that since Thor can't help thanks to the Asgard prime directive." Daniel explained to him,
Chaos. A good word to describe the situation as that was exactly what followed, the intruders seemed to know exactly where to go and soon had taken control of the base's self-destruct device.
Director Frank Simmons was debriefing one of his teams when the alarm finally started going off as he could clearly hear the sound of gunfire not far from the briefing room.
"What the hell is going on?" He shouted at the young agent that came running into the room,
"We've got intruders on the base, sir." The agent responded nervously,
"Call topside and have them send down reinforcements, NOW!" Simmons ordered as he started running towards the command centre.
But as he got there and attempted to start the countdown for the self-destruct device, he realised that it had been deactivated.
Moments later US troops broke into the command centre and Colonel Jack O'Neal pointed a P90 at Simmons,
"Simmons, you're under arrest." He said without his usual jokiness in his voice,
"This is treason Colonel, you'll swing for this." Simmons said as he raised his hands knowing that the proverbial ball was in the mutineer's court,
"We'll see, Simmons, we'll see. Now tell your men to stand down." Jack answered,
Simmons realising that it was hopeless for now obeyed,
Less than half an hour later, the base was completely under their control and the leaders of The Trust were arrested in raids by US Special Forces teams on the charge of treason against the United States and its allies.
…
…
…..…. Washington DC…
General Hammond got a message on his phone, the raids had taken place and the SGC was no longer in the hands of the NID and the newly appointed Speaker of the House of Representatives had called a joint session on Congress where shortly he would outline the treason committed by President Kinsey and the Vice-President Maxwell Adams and announce as next in line he'd be assuming the Presidency.
Hammond quickly nodded to Major Paul Davis that barely noticeable nodded back and then quietly snuck out of the conference room and soon left the Pentagon.
From an ordinary office window a shadowy figure watched as Major Paul Davis walked away and called on a secure phone and spoke in a long-forgotten language – forgotten to all humans but the ones that had kept it secretly alive for thousands of years, reporting that the situation was developing according to plan…

When President Kinsey told the other world leaders about the failed X301 fighter test, the improved X302 fighters and the X303 Prometheus, their reaction was of pure anger that the United States had fighters capable of aerial combat and space flight and their own spaceship and Kinsey made it clear that the only alien technology that would be shared with the other nations present would be of a non-military nature,
David Cameron stood up at this statement and yelled out "This is unacceptable! This meeting is over." With that the United Kingdom Prime Minister and his entourage left followed quickly by the other world leaders.
Kinsey then got a message from one of his friends in The Trust, they lost contact with the SGC and Prometheus as several high-ranking members of the group went missing, Kinsey then got another message from Vice President Maxwell Adams, the speaker of the house had called a joint session of Congress.
Kinsey turned on the TV and watched as the speaker of the house Thomas Anderson began his speech, "Members of congress, today we meet at a trying time for the United States, a time when the seeds of an undemocratic and totalitarian regime are being neutered by secrecy and lies, those secrets and those lies die here tonight."
Kinsey nearly dropped the remote in shock and before Thomas stopped his speech as a man went over and whispered in his ear as a package appeared on the podium. The man walked off as Thomas said "After many hours of thought and prayer I made a decision. To stand up and take responsibility for what myself and members of the military high command planned to do and seize power from the President. To admit my failures and shortcomings to the people."
As he took out a pistol from the package Thomas said "Me and those who plotted with me are a sin on the soul of this great nation. Forgive me, and may God help us all."
Immediately after that Thomas Anderson shot himself in the middle of the senate building live on national television.
Kinsey was shocked and contacted the Trust faction of the NID again,
"Investigate the reason for their absence and keep me updated. He said.
Kinsey then made the calls back to the people he knew he could trust and ordered immediate investigation and then ordered the mobilization of whatever military units that were proven loyal – Those that were controlled by Trust members of course –, this little coup had to be nipped in the bud before it grew bigger…

…..…. A few days later, Brussels, capital of the European Union….….
.
.
.
In a closed session of the UN security council – minus the USA, the leaders of Russia, China, United Kingdom, France and the president of the European Parliament was trying to decide on the safest course of action.
David Cameron rose and started speaking,
"We cannot allow the United States such technological superiority. The longer we wait the more this situation will escalate." He pointed out,
It was then that Medvedev stood up and cleared his throat,
"Elements of my own government have been in contact with… well, elements within the US government and military command, and they have been silently moving into place for several weeks now…" He started as the president of China in shock stood up,
"You have been keeping this secret for this long? You should have told the rest of us!" He blared out angrily,
And for a few moments everyone was talking at the same time until the president of the EU managed to calm them down,
"I believe if President Medvedev are allowed to finish explaining." She said calmly with a look at Medvedev,
"President Kinsey managed to get elected by a narrow margin plus according to the groups within the US government he had help from a group we only know as the Trust, and according to evidence they have as the Americans might put it; rigged the election." He finished and gave a USB stick over to an aide that inserted it into a computer terminal in the room so that everyone could see.
"Right now, they are trying to get Kinsey to surrender to avoid any unnecessary loss of life." He added, the others gasped at the information and someone mumbled that "Kinsey must be mad!?"
Then a messenger came running in and talked briefly with the President of the EU and she went absolutely pale,
She used the small hammer to call for attention and the mumbling around the room stopped as they all looked at her,
"I just got word from the embassies from several of the EU member-states, the coup against Kinsey have failed, fighting has broken out in Washington." She quickly gave orders to switch from the computer to the main television screen in the room,
On the screen was a reporter who spoke with a shocked expression in her voice,
"It is now three days since Speaker of the House Thomas Anderson committed suicide in congress, and two days since President Kinsey was supposed to be placed under arrest on charges of treason and there are US military forces have all of a sudden opened fire on each other." She started and then held her hand to her ear as she no doubt got more information,
"We're going live to DC." She said and the image shifted to a man that were slightly hunched, the sounds of gunfire could be clearly heard as well, as in the background the camera showed smoke billowing towards the sky with explosions somewhere near where the White House could be seen.
"We can clearly see US military forces firing on each other, just a few moments ago, I saw tanks rolling up towards congress and some reports say that some forces have even opened fire on civilians – right here in DC. This is America, what's happened to this country?" The man said in shock and then he ducked as an F-22 came flying in awfully close to the ground with a deafening sound, and the line went black and after a moment came back to the news anchor-woman that at first looked totally bewildered until she seemingly with great effort managed to collect herself,
"Oh. We will try and get them back, but right now, we're getting reports from our offices in Denver Colorado that heavy fighting has broken out in the state and there's also reports of strange fighters flying across the sky seemingly coming from nowhere…" She finished,
The newsfeed was muted as the delegates in the room turned again to each other,
"This is absurd, what if Kinsey decides to launch nuclear weapons? Or worse, some terrorist group decides on taking advantage of this chaos?" The president of France exclaimed frantically,
Medvedev looked as in utter shock,
"bozhe moy! This man is mad, we have real enemies out there in the galaxy and the Americans decided to take this moment to start fighting each other!?" He shouted,
Even the Chinese president looked shocked as he covered his face trying to come to terms with what had just happened.
The EU president cleared her throat and looked at the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a decision to make, and we must make that decision now before this spiral completely out of control." She said…
…
…

…. Secret location, somewhere on Earth….

In a darkly lit room a number of figures were sitting, one of them pointing at another of the figures,
"This is betrayal of the worst sort!" A man with tanned skin dressed in a sort of modernized traditional Egyptian clothing,
"You better explain yourself Rush!" He growled showing his teeth revealing his fangs in anger,
The man titled as Elder Scholar managed to restrain himself from showing fangs in kind to his Egyptian opposite, he did however glare at Ammon the Pharaoh of the Cult of Horus lineage to show his dislike for such untasteful behaviour as showing fangs,
"I have no idea Ammon! Radcliff has betrayed me and taken almost half my Archimedeans with him, I have nothing to do with this." Nicholas Rush leader of the Society of Archimedes defended himself to the others though looked admonishingly at Ammon they did however look almost equally admonishingly at Rush as their expressions demanded explanation,
"Last thing I heard from him, was when I banished him years ago, you all know this, this very council ordered his banishment, however I never for a second thought he had so many followers." Nicholas explained,
Another sitting at the short end of the table looked at the others in turn,
"Has anyone heard of the Luciferians, this double dealing stinks of their handiwork?" He asked,
"I don't know Adriano; their leader has declined to even show to this meeting." Alice Kesselring Titled as Matron of the Society of Clementine answered,
She sighed deeply and then spoke;
"However, this is not the time for further dissension among us. While we debate on who is guilty or not our world is falling apart, millennia of work are in jeopardy, innocent lives are at stake,
Adriano scoffed at the Clementinian's exaggerated sympathy for people.
"I agree, now is not the time for us to argue, but can we really stop what is happening without revealing ourselves to our lesser kin?" He then asked,
Kesselring glared at him for his use of words, the Clementinians had always cared about all humans no matter who had created them.
"It would be better for us to let this play out and then work behind the thrones as we have always done, and then we put the world back together – as it should be this time." Adriano proposed heartily,
"What, you can't be serious?" Elisabeth Weir titled queen of the Clan Dido lineage glaring at Adriano, earning her a derisive chuckle from him,
"Normally I would rather have my own fangs pulled out than agree with the House of Romulus but… I agree, as long as humanity are divided we will never stand a chance against the Goa'uld or any other threat, the time to act is now!" Ammon said while nodding towards Consul Adriano of the House or Romulus.
"Let's put it to a vote then. All those in favour of trying to stem this chaos or let it play out, as our esteemed brother said." Another strange figure said with an Indian accent while she stood up from the opposite end of the long table,
All of the representatives of the Lineages voted on what to do about the developing global situation…

Elsewhere in Colorado at Cheyenne Mountain in Stargate Command,
General Hammond had just arrived and were now briefing everyone,
"Things have gone out of control, Kinsey disappeared from the White House just as we were about to arrest him, no one knows where he is." Hammond started, everyone looked shocked as they tried to handle the situation, they all had known that what they had been planning that this operation was risky, but…
Then the Stargate alarm went off signalling an incoming wormhole,
"Un-scheduled incoming wormhole!" Walter Harriman reported on the base wide com,
As Hammond and members of SG-1 arrived the iris had already closed over the gate but instead of a code signal or the usual thump, a holographic image appeared that looked like a cloaked hooded figure, hologram or not though, the SGC soldiers still pointed their weapons at the figure just to be sure,
"Greetings, people of the Tau'ri. I am Anubis." He said with the booming voice common for the parasitic Goa'uld,
"Ah, wrong number." Jack said while trying to look his usual cool expression,
Anubis ignored the obvious attempt at bravado, and continued,
"By now, you are aware of your world's increasing destabilization, and the Asgard will not help you as except for what I am about to divulge there is no proof of Goa'uld interference. I have set into motion events that is even now engulfing your world to make sure that your kind will no longer meddle in Goa'uld affairs." Anubis said plainly, and then deactivated his end of the wormhole and the gate shut down.
Hammond sighed heavily,
"We've got no other choice then, Walter get me a secure link to the Speaker of the House." He ordered, Harriman nodded,
Moments later Hammond and SG-1 was in the briefing room as the image of acting Speaker of the House as well as also being the acting president of the United States of America – Henry Hayes appeared on the main screen in the room, the man looked tired,
Hammond filled him in on the recent message from Anubis,
He sighed,
"I'm sad to say this George, despite you and your people as well as the units with us that have done their duty well and above the call of duty, we have failed to find Kinsey, and several states are even refusing the constitutional validity of Kinsey's impeachment, Texas and Alaska have gone dark, South Carolina and parts of New England are supporting Kinsey, while New York City have declared itself as an open city for the UN." Henry started despondently,
"This is no longer a coup, it's a second civil war, someone has taken control over some of our nuclear launch facilities in the Dakotas, I've ordered what military units loyal to us to take them back at all costs, it is also obvious that the Trust is aiming at retaking control of Stargate Command." He continued,
"Just in case we fail to take back control of our nuclear strike force, I'm initiating the Genesis list, I've already ordered the list activated, they should be arriving within hours to the SGC, and I've ordered the Prometheus to provide cover over Colorado as well as helping with evacuating any family of any member of the SGC and then it will go to the Alpha Site and provide protection there." Henry finished, and then the line was cut by static.
Hammond wasted no time and ordered preparations for evacuation…
…
…
…
Thor was infuriated at the audacity of the parasites, though there was nothing he could do directly to aid his allies, but thanks to information from Loki he could aid them indirectly to make sure that at least some remnant of free human civilization might survive.
It was all too obvious to him that the Goa'uld was responsible for the developing situation on Earth,
Another thing he hated was that he was actually listening to Loki…
But he quickly relayed the information to Stargate Command including the new coordinates that he knew was in another galaxy altogether and perhaps the best hope for the humans especially the ones with the so called Ancient activation gene or ATA-gene…
…
…
…
…..…. Short timeline of current events….….
August 13 2010 President Robert Kinsey informs the leaders of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council of the existence of the Stargate Program.
Results: the leaders of Russia, UK, France and China storm out of the meeting after learning that the USA have developed space faring technology as well as aerospace capable fighter planes,
Kinsey has decided that no military technology will be shared.
August 13 (during and after the meeting) A carefully planned coup starts taking place at several key installations throughout the United States of America mainland among them the retaking of Stargate Command and seizure of the Prometheus from NID, most of these operations including the capturing of SGC as well as the Prometheus are successful.
August 13 Speaker of the House Thomas Anderson divulge the truth and accuses President Kinsey of treason after which he commits suicide in congress.
An impeachment is ordered against President Kinsey,
August 14 – The coup fails as Kinsey manages to avoid arrest.
The situation then quickly escalates, and on many locations gunfights erupt largely thanks to undercover Goa'uld agents, that are also carrying out similar operations in other countries – mainly among the four other permanent members of the Security Council.
August 15 – 16 Heavy fighting breaks out in Washington DC as well as other major cities of the USA between various US forces when loyalists to President Kinsey oppose the arrests.
Several states of the USA refuse to obey the acting government and the fighting spreads to many states – The Second American Civil War have just started.
August 16 reports that Kinsey loyalists are attempting to take control over nuclear launch facilities throughout the USA, the opposing governmental forces starts moving to prevent the capture of the South Dakota missile silos.
August 17 Forces loyal to President Kinsey manages to take control over many nuclear launch facilities as the troops loyal to the coup fails to prevent them…

On the Prometheus, Admiral Nathaniel Taylor had after taking command of the vessel brought in his own people, aided the SGC personnel in the retaking of the SGC and NORAD.
Commander Alicia Washington walked into the bridge and directly to Taylor,
He turned to her, she nodded,
"The evacuations of vital personnel and families are almost complete, but I have to ask though Sir, how are we going to transport them all to wherever we're going?" Washington asked,
"Acting President Hayes filled me in on it, new orders are that we're first going to a planet named Tollana after we've made sure that the evacuations here are complete." Taylor explained, even though he had serious doubts as to if they would find anything on Tollana after what the Goa'uld had done there…
Then the woman operating the scan systems gasped,
"Admiral Taylor, scanner shows launches from the surface." She reported,
"What, where?" Taylor demanded to know,
"From the North Atlantic, Sir, seems to be coming from subs." The young officer noted,
"Oh, my god!" Wash gasped,
"Take us in, we have to try and stop them." Taylor ordered, but in his heart, he knew they would never have a chance at stopping the missiles.
And then they could see through the bridge viewport how a couple of mushrooms of fire and devastation erupted on the surface, one over the UK and another
"Admiral, I'm reading more launches from the surface!" The scan operator reported in shock as by now the other nations was obviously doing the only thing they could – retaliating by launching nuclear weapons themselves…
"Get me a secure contact to NORAD and President Hayes immediately." Taylor then ordered after the Prometheus having started to intercept as many of the missiles as they could no matter where they came from.
It didn't take long for General George Hammond to respond,
"George, what the heck's been going on down there, I was trying to contact President Hayes, wasn't he supposed to be at NORAD by now!?" Taylor asked in surprise,
"I'm sorry Nate, President Hayes is dead, for some reason Airforce two blew up as it was about to land at NORAD, I'm following his last orders, and that was to activate the Genesis Protocol." Hammond reported sadly,
Taylor looked crestfallen,
"Brussels been destroyed along with London, and we're getting reports of multiple launches from Europe as well as Asia." Hammond said,
Taylor nodded,
"I can confirm that, they're even starting to throw nukes around in the Middle east." Taylor noted after having been told.
"The Goa'uld that helped to start this mess must be wanting to make sure." Hammond noted critically,
"Nate, you're to take the Prometheus to Tollana, well there, you'll be meeting up with a ship commanded by the rogue Asgard Loki, he'll be towing your ship to the Pegasus Galaxy, where you'll be taking direct command of the forces and civilians that will be arriving, these are the coordinates." Hammond finished as he sent over the data to the Prometheus.
"Loki's the guy that got us the power source to dial the Pegasus galaxy by the way." He added,
"This feels wrong, for us to just take off like this, George." Taylor protested,
"If the Goa'uld really are responsible for this, then it is important that there are some solid leadership that can take command of our people there." Hammond explained,
"Don't worry, I've made sure that all your families are on the list of people going to Pegasus." Hammond added,
"What about you George?" Taylor asked,
"I'll be staying here with a skeleton force for as long as we can and then when the last refugee group have gone through to either Pegasus or the Alpha or Beta sites, we'll retreat through the gate, I've already sent my grandchildren through. Oh, and there'll be mostly children going, just so you know." Hammond replied,
"Good luck old friend and God be with you." Hammond then finished while saluting,
"You too George, it's been my honour to have known you." Taylor replied while he too saluted,
"Likewise, Nate." Hammond Replied and then ended the transmission.
And as the USAAF Prometheus then entered hyperspace, in the SGC a woman with flaming red hair smiled as she left for the embarkation room, she had made sure that the right children had been chosen to go to Pegasus, as she had planned for years this experiment.
Along with her group was a young boy along with his adult elder brother that had been evacuated just in time at the loss of their parents as the boys had been visiting friends of the family.
The boy that she knew was no more than ten years old looked absolutely shell shocked, with barely contained tears in his silvery grey eyes but he tried desperately to hide it with a tough expression as he with his older brother's hand on his shoulder stepped through the Stargate,
Tashaya Radcliff had herself examined him and had high hopes for the boy, she easily remembered their names, James and Benjamin Shannon – especially young Ben, with such unusual traits even for their kind, their parents had foolishly kept the truth about his heritage from him.
"That will change, no one will ever lie to you about your true heritage my boy, let Father dear play his little game with the Trust while I'll be embarking on my own project." Tashaya thought as she herself walked through the gate…
And on the surface of the planet the nuclear missiles delivered their deadly payload as more mushroom clouds appeared and the nuclear fire took millions more lives as human civilization fell upon itself…
Well that was the unofficial first chapter or "Pilot" of this my new story, please read enjoy and review and tell me what y'all thought.
