Universegate: Treks
Chapter One
Rodney McKay waited for the address to be dial as his experiment into one of the last projects the Ancients had created before they Ascended. Project Arcturus was a mission to create an improved zero point energy device. Free energy which could be used to power all of Atlantis' systems in the Pegasus Galaxy. Before they continued, Lieutenant Colonal John Sheppard was asking a question about the experiment.
"So what was this experiment suppose to do again?"
"Basically instead of creating a place in subspace or using the multiverse that we use exist in, the idea was to find a different set of multiverse where the natural laws of physics would allow for the generation of free energy. It was one of a number of experiments used for the generation of energy. An entire settlement of Ancients based around the lab we saw on M90-980. The idea was to use the stargates themselves as the transmission device to a different dimension. It uses a different program to put in basic terms. We managed to find and decode the system, then hooked it up to the gate. Now we just send the MALP on to the world and check things out." Rodney was proud at his find of the Ancients Technology and it's possible uses which made him continue with the most major development.
"Fortunately, instead of the massive energy required to dial to a different Galaxy this system only needs a slight increase in energy. This means it can be used with the right processing to be a shortcut to Earth. Step onto a safe world from Atlantis, then dial back with the right information for the Milky Way and land on Earth. So it can help us gain power as well as cut days off the travel time to Earth." Smuggly he added this little nugget, which was the major selling point with the expedition's commander Elizabeth Weir.
"As long as nothing nasty comes out of the gate, you mean." said John as they waited for the final chevron, the seventh, to encode. The gate acted slightly out of sorts of the normal wormhole. The wormhole usually had the appearance of water blasting out before retracting into a pool of water. Yet with this wormhole the water more resembled steam and the pool was more a cloud.
The robotic machine moved moved forward so it could gain a better look at the room which it found itself in, which was some kind of storage location. Some place where the Stargate as a possible Egyptain artifact would not look out of place. Once could see some of the damage caused by the creation of the wormhole, which tended to vaporize anything it came in contact with.
"Rodney, you do realize the major problem with all of this? The fact if it's a different universe with different rules, it also just as possible for life forms to have developed differently. Which means the signs you are looking for might not be there?" asked John as he mention the bugs in the system.
"Yes, but the Ancients were human like... so I expect something human-like on the other end of the wormhole if the Ancients survived. Or even thrived in their new environment. Latin is linked with their language, so I am looking for something latin-based a based language to compare with. So keep an eye out for... wait, what's that?" asked Rodney as he moved the camera over to what looked like something written with letters.
"Looks like Latin letters, taking a closer look at the sign as the camera zoomed in and... This can't be right? It looks like.... Okay, it seems it's... United Federation of Planets Historical Archive. Is it just me, or does this seem a little familar. Must be in some kind of Star Trek convention or something, wonder how a Stargate got there." as Rodney as he moved the robot in the building, which was some kind of warehouse.
A more careful look made notice of things which did seem to be Star Trek props, only to hear some kind of alarm go off at the same time. Also this room went off it all four directions, not like any convention centre or film set.
It was soon after that a squad of people in yellow and black uniforms took up a battle formation as they held prop phasers. Or what looked like prop phasers. It was soon followed by a familar man in a red and black uniform as the camera on the MALP zoomed in. It looked like Patrick Steward, aka Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise.
Everyone looked at Rodney and he started to look a little sheepish as he seemed to be trying to get any kind of an answer for all of this. He just replied bluntly, "Okay, this is weird. Either it's a good reinactment of an episode or something... or I just dialed into a real world version of Star Trek."
Rodney activated the MALP's speakers and spoke, "This is Dr. Rodney McKay of the Atlantis Expedition. We mean you no harm. Please put down the phasers and we can have a rational, civil conversation."
The bald man who looked like a famous actor spoke, "I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the United Federation of Planets. I believe we can communicate, but we might want a few explanation of what is going on."
"It's going to be a long story, which gets weirder and weirder the more we talk. Or I'm guessing this is what is going to happen. Give us a few minutes to establish a contact team. Please stand away from the gate when it is active as it can disintergate matter when the wormhole forms." said Rodeny as Atlantis One gather to make the transportation to the other side.
Much Later...
Jean-Luc Picard had expected the call from one of the Admirals in Starfleet Command, which was being represented by the figure of T'Laral. The Vulcan female instant got to the point of the matter, "Starfleet Command has read the inital report on the 'Stargate' and the world in which the Atlantis Expedition has come from. We agree to your decision to allow them to contact their homeworld, which seemed to be another Earth in exchange for their information on their world. The fact our universe seems to have been displayed as a ficitional entertainment program has been provoking different reactions with personal."
"I can imagine my mother's reaction to myself being played by an Englishman, but I do have comfort in the idea he is a Shakespearean actor. I take it ancient entertainment is the reason for the call." said the Frenchman as he listened for the reasoning of the high ranking officer.
"The major interest to Starfleet is the technological information which you had been given by the expedition. Intergalactic faster then light drives and stable wormhole technology would have a drastic effect on this universe if a way was found to make them work here. The fact is with these and other development, the legal question arises as to if the Prime Directive would apply to them which would tie our hands with all trading. The legal arguements for and against would take many years to discuss and analyze for their merits.
The minute the list of technological developments were listing and including wormholes as well as hyperdrives, certain Admirals made arguements for the relaxing of the Prime Directive. Many were illogical and were obviously defective thought, there were some strong reasons which were logical in the temporary adjustment in the Prime Directive protocal." said the black Vulcun leader as she waited for questions.
"I take it you have judged the logic of these factors and found them to be sound. Reasons for violating the directive are hard to justify in this day and age, so I would be interested in the reasons for the changes." said the human as he tried to come up with the logical answers from what he knew.
"The obvious fact is we would have no ability to prevent the trading between this Stargate Command and any other power in our universe. Using a go between for the Federation and their society would allow us access to a degree. This seems to have been suggested as a back-up plan. The main reason which was accepted for direct interaction is the two general exceptions for the Prime Directive. Obviously SGC has been exposed to knowledge of superior technologies and off-world civilizations. We may not have been the ones exposing them to these factors, but we might take the responcible action as acting as a guide to their civilization in dealing with it. Preventing any chaos or problems to come from this exposure."
"This does make some sense, but it would take a lot of thought and good judgement to make the choices which would be needed. However, I do not see how the first exception takes place. SGC does not seem to expose the Federation to extreme threat to it's further survival." asked Picard as he made the point of the other exception.
"The SGC might not consitute a threat in themselves, yet their are other factors. Technology such as this superweapon created by the Ancients. From the reports it has been used to create human life from energy like a replicator, as well as reversing the processes. It can be used on any corporeal life form, once it has been program. This can be used for genocide on the Federations of it's allies... but a more frightening idea came when thoughts of using it to create borg nanoprobes inside of living people was suggested. In essence turning it into an assimulation machine for the Borg, allowing for galactic absorption of life into the collective. I do not have to tell you the fear and threat this could cause. This does not count giving the Borg wormhole and hyperdrive technologies.
The Wraith in the Pegasus Galaxy would be a threat not in our experiences, but our biggest fears are those of the Ori. From their description, the are like the Q Continum made of religious zealots who hold no moral values. If either one of them were to enter our universe, the threat does start to seem like a threat great enought to trigger General Order Twenty-Four. So you can see the Federation might want to allow for interaction to elimate the dangers." Picard listened to T'Laral, and found the arguements had merit even if he felt uneasy with all of this.
T'Laral continued, "During early Earth-based Starfleet, my Vulcun ancestors acted as advisors to their organization. It might be of use to attempt something similar to the Earth of Stargate Command. This would require a specialized collection of specialist and diplomats to makes sure Federation interests were assured. As I suggested the supervisor role for the project, I was requested to supervise this project. I have made some requests for personal, but I wanted to select someone who could cover all of the elements for this enterprise... no pun intended. Given your limited experiences with them and their knowledge of 'you' from their television show, we thought it would allow for maximum results if you are placed in command of the mission.
This is not an order, but a request. It is logical for our success with you taking the lead. Will you take the project, Jean-Luc?"
At Stargate Command...
General Landry reviewed the information which he had gotten, which had been surprising if not unbelievable. The idea Atlantis One had managed to dial into a different universe and then dialled back to the Earth Stargate was odd on the face of it. Add to this the factor the universe they had dialled into had been one which was a living Star Trek universe. The obvious was simple.
'The IOA is going to want any kind of technology they can get from this universe, but they know a direct confrontation between us and the Federation is going to end badly for us. Good thing most of the lab guys tend to be huge fans of the shows. Most of them have things like the technical manuals for Star Trek as well as the laws and orders for the United Federation of Planets.
We might have found loopholes and examples which could be used if we have to. Either that or try to communicate with a third power. Like the Klingons or something, maybe the Ferengi if we can stomach a bunch of cosmic cars salesmen. Or even the normal non-Federation population, our 'experts' have mention that in the twenty-fourth century Federation citizan is not officially subjected to the Prime Directive. Only Star Fleet are bound by the law.
Of course, this will mean we will have to trade with them. We can give them mineral samples for their 'replicators', perhaps arrange contact between themselves and the Asgard, maybe a few things we had before the Asgard. Not sure what they might say about trading our Hyperdrives and other deviced. Perhaps a few Ancient artifacts, like a depleted ZPM.
Our hyperdrive is more advance then their warp drive, if the show and other material is right. We have wormhole technology, even if we don't know how to duplicate it. They don't have the technology. Their energy technology is stronger then our naquadah reactors, even the mark II generators. The only thing toping theirs are the Asgard power core and the ZPMs left over from when the Ancients. They have superior transporter technology, at last more advance then us. They seem to below the level the Asgard can do." Landry was trying to figure out the best trade agreement for the people of this divided Earth.
'SG-9 are being update about what Federation laws they will have to know from the Prime Directive and onwards. We are also working on the little working knowledge of other powers like Klingons, Ferengi and others. Hopefully the show is an accurrate representive of their laws and customs. Even if we don't get the technology, getting their help on things would aid us when dealing with the Ori and the Wraith.
They are also pulling double duty with regard to making general treaties for opening talks with any other cultures we might contact by way of Quantum Dialling. If the first world we have contact with was one which was fictional in our world, who knows what other surprises might pop out of the wood work. Teal'c is hoping to find a real life world of Jedi so he can get his own light saber, while General O'Neill is hoping we run into Homer in this whole thing.
Let's hope we can get something which we can use to defend ourself from the troubles we find out there... as well as ourselves.' thought the General as he prepare for very little to come out of this, but hoping for a lot out of this new development.
Months Later...
It had been months of negotiations and development on both sides of the Stargate. The computer cores used by the Federation had found the simple geography of the Stargate's astral drift program simple. So it had not been a problem to adjust the location of the Stargate. The Federation had desired some distance between the world which held so many facilities to the united group and a device which held unknown dangers.
So the Stargate Starbase had been build and the gate transported to it. Using all of the details which SGC on Earth ADE-0001 or the world where the Ancients had originated. ADE-0002, had been made as the universe the United Federation of Planets originated in. The Starbase had been built a bit larger then most, so it could hold all of the research facilities as well as a diplomatic centre for the meeting of different peoples from the different universes.
There was a drydock for the building starships of new models which intergrate the new technology the gained access to from trading. There were propulsion, energy, medical and many other labs. As well as the research facility to hold the Stargate, with a gate room partly designed after the missle silo which held the other Earth's gate. They could also eject the gate like a warp core. The base would also work as a communication and transport station for Atlantis in the Pegasus to Stargate Command on Earth.
During this time, diplomatic corps within both universes had met and made up treaties with each other. The surprising levels of knowledge the SGC had with regard to the laws of the ADE-0002 universe was unusually, but had been partly expected by the details their universe had been an entertainment show in ADE-0001.
Finally there was the trade treaty, which spoke of the Federation acting like a monitor so their technology was not abused by the Tau'ri (the name the other people in the universe had for the people of Earth). A similar agreement seems to have been in place with on of the Tau'ri allies. A minimum of one Starfleet officer would be assigned at all technological application of their technology, of a minimum rank of Lieutenant Commander.
The Tau'ri would therefore share their technology with the Federation, with certain exception. Turns out some of their technology were gifts from a more advance alien race they had made an alliance with, so they would need to ask permission to share the technology. One of their Generals, the head of Homeworld Security, had mentioned their 'little buddies' would love the Federation. Their fears was the Asgard might just make the Tau'ri irrelavent, so adjustments were put in place with the treaties.
Which had been leading up to the meeting which was being arranged between the two groups. A meeting on the SG-SB was holding in the diplomatic centre. The nation involved would be the Tau'ri as well as the Free Jaffa Nation, the Asgard, and the Tok'ra. Various Federation members would be sending representives, by way of Starfleet. Arrangements were also made for the Klingon Star Empire to attend the talks as well, since they were allied with the Federation. There were questions of allowing any of the other powers to the meeting, but Starfleet Command decided to make it limited to these powers for the time being. In all likelihood the command structure was hoping to have the first crack with the technology, only inviting the Klingons to avoid any insult to the honour bound people.
A secondary meeting would take place to ease the other powers to the technology which would be exchange by their new alliance. This was just a diplomatic meeting and exchanging of technologies and personal. Ambassadors from the new universe would take up residence on the spacestation as well as technical support to help them with the adjustments which would have to be made.
Picard knew all of this as he prepared for the meeting on this Starbase, looking at the interesting contrast this particular station had as it was both stationary in it's planetary orbit as well as having the ability to explore further then any Starship in the entire fleet.
'And that's just in our universe. Let's not take into consideration all of the other universes we will be expose to for the first time. I wonder if Captain Sisko felt this way when he discovered the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant.' thought Picard as he prepared his dressed uniform for the meeting.
