Sol System - Earth - Starfleet Command
Admiral Jaz Rean had just finished reading the report from Admiral Daniels. Admiral Rean is 6'1", 185 pounds, has brown eyes, black hair and is 55 years old. His rise to the top was miraculous and he's also a brilliant strategist; and was promoted to Fleet Admiral of the Vulcan-Andor Sectors a few months before the Dominion War.
After the election of the new Federation President eight months ago, she and the majority of the Federation Council wanted a new approach to Starfleet. In short, they wanted hard nosed soldiers that were forged in fire during the Dominion War running Starfleet Command – though, they would never say it out loud.
When Admiral Hayes retired five months ago, Admiral Rean was appointed the new Fleet Admiral (5 Pips) or Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet by the new President and Federation Council. He was chosen because of his strategic ability and was a man who could see the "big picture".
During the Dominion War, Admiral Rean often came into conflict with Fleet Admiral Raymond Stiles at Starfleet Command on how to prosecute the war and prevailed in the end when Admiral Hayes overruled Admiral Stiles and implemented Admiral Rean's strategies, which worked brilliantly. He found out later that it was the Federation Council who wanted Starfleet to fight a defensive war to prevent the Dominion from entering Federation space; and when they began to lose entire fleets, they had a change of heart.
Admiral Rean told the "old guard" at Starfleet Command the changes the President and the Federation Council wanted implemented and told them they could either adapt or be replaced. He also reminded them of their dressing down before the Federation Council. (After the war the Admiralty at Starfleet Command were called before the Federation Council who proceeded to berate them for their spectacular failure in protecting and defending the Federation. Ambassador Lincoln asked why they needed Starfleet and suggested they should put someone else in charge of protecting the Federation. Another Ambassador asked why Starfleet didn't have warships and told them their ships are built for comfort and exploration. Another Ambassador told the Admiral's that many of their ships were outdated and that Starfleet was wholly unprepared for war and most of their ships couldn't stand up to the Dominion. The Admirals explained to the Council Members that Starfleet's Mandate is exploration first and defense second. Another Ambassador told them that was about to change.)
Admiral Rean also reminded them that Starfleet lost over 11,000 personnel and 39 ships during the battle at Wolf 359 because many of their ships were assigned to long-range exploration missions and the Federation core worlds were not properly defended, which was another disaster for Starfleet.
The ones that couldn't adapt resigned, including Fleet Admiral Stiles and others were transferred. The Admirals who resigned wanted to go back to the way things were – and Admiral Rean reminded them that they nearly lost everything because of the way they did things prior to the war and that their once proud fleet is now in tatters. The shakeup at Starfleet and change in policy was necessary and refreshing.

"Admiral Rean, you have a Priority One call, Code Red from Admiral Daniels at Starbase 313," his aide said to him over the comm.
The hairs on the back of Rean's neck stood up. "Acknowledged," he said. "Computer seal the room."
"Room sealed."
Admiral Rean tapped his computer and saw Admiral Daniels staring back at him. "Ed," he said.
"Admiral, I just received a call from a General Chow Lee, Commander of Stargate Command in the Milky Way galaxy, and I'm sending you the recording of our conversation and a full report," he said.
"I presume their Level Ten is our Code Red?" Rean asked, after watching the recording.
"Yes it is Jaz," Daniels answered.
"How are they getting to the Pegasus galaxy in an hour from the Milky Way galaxy?" Rean asked.
"I don't know, and they're very tight lipped sir," Daniels answered.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like what they're going to say," Rean stated.
"I think you and I both know what's coming Jaz," Daniels replied, with a frown on his face.
"I think I better contact the President, Rean out."

Paris France - Office of the President of the United Federation of Planets
Sara Logan was elected President of the UFP eight months ago. She was born and reared on Alpha Centauri, is 5'7¾", 57 years of age, a widow with three children and eight grandchildren.
It's been over two-one-half years since the Dominion War and the Federation is still rebuilding. President Logan requested a report on the State of the Federation and Starfleet after she was elected, which she received a few months ago. It stated that the cost of the Dominion War was staggering, with hundreds of millions dead; over 30 Federation colony worlds reduced to rubble; resources are at an all time low; it'll take decades to recover, and in some cases there will be no recovery. Many colonists were either killed or displaced and some survivors went back to their home worlds while many others are still waiting to be relocated; and the Federation needs new colony worlds and more resources.
The report also went in-depth about that state of Starfleet. Starfleet's fleet level is now at an all time low with thousands of ships destroyed and existing class star ships were ineffectual in meeting the Dominion threat. The aging Constitution, Excelsior and other older class ships, including the Ambassador and Cheyenne classes, were devastated by the Dominion during the war. Even the Galaxy Class didn't fare well and almost all of them were destroyed and only one remains in service. The ships that fared well were the Defiant, Prometheus, Akira, Achilles, Intrepid, Norway, Streamrunner and Nebula classes. Due to the loss of experienced Command-level personnel, Starfleet promoted many Lieutenant Commanders to Commander and many Commanders to Captain who showed exception ability during the war. Starfleet loss hundreds-of-thousands of personnel and 60% of their total assets which has been extremely damaging to the Fleet.
The report also stated that Starfleet Command has been rebuilt, along with Starfleet Academy, the Mars defense perimeter, Golden Gate Bridge and other Starfleet assets on Earth. However, the new Federation Council Headquarters is still under construction. The only bright spot was the return of the USS Voyager from the Delta Quadrant three months ago with all the new technologies, weapons and the promise of a new drive system someday.

"Madam President you have a call from Admiral Rean and it's a Code Red," her secretary said to her over the comm.
Sara Logan's face went white as a sheep. "Thank you," she said. "Computer seal the room."
"Room sealed."
"Admiral," President Logan said when she saw him didn't like the expression on his face.
"Madam President, I need to see you right away and it's of the utmost importance," he stated.
"If it's a Code Red I'm sure it is Admiral. Meet me in my office in 30 minutes," she replied.
"Thank you Madam President," he said and the comm was disconnected.

Paris France - Office of the President of the United Federation of Planets
Twenty-five minutes later Admiral Rean beamed to the President Logan's office.
"She's waiting for you," her secretary said and showed the Admiral into the President's office.
"Have a seat Admiral," she said pointing to the chair in front of her desk when he walked into her office.
"Thank you Madam President," he said and sat down and handed her a PADD. "I received this report and recording forty-five minutes ago from Admiral Daniels at Starbase 313."
She read the report and heard the recording and raised an eyebrow. "Who're the Ori?" she asked.
"We've never heard of them," he answered.
"What did General Scott mean when she said the Milky Way galaxy is already burning?" Logan asked.
"That's what the meeting is about Madam President," Rean answered.
"I don't see what this has to do with the Federation," she said a little frustrated.
"We're in the Milky Way galaxy," Rean said in his usual cool demeanor.
The realization finally hit her – that the Ori could invade Federation Space. "Who're the Atlantis Galactic Federation?" she asked still perplexed.
"We've never heard of them until today ma'am, but they're older than the United Federation of Planets. Admiral Daniels was told by Colonel Marell that the Galaran's are one of the founding members of the Atlantis Galactic Federation, which was founded in 2050." "Did you notice that the Atlantis Galactic Federation is in five galaxies?" he asked.
"Yes I did, and it says they're also in the Ida galaxy," she said with a raised eyebrow.
"Colonel Marell told Admiral Daniels that the Ida galaxy is 4 million light years from the Milky Way galaxy," Rean replied.
"I still don't understand why they want to talk to us." "What could they possibly tell us Admiral?" she asked.
"Colonel Marell's ship landed on our doorstep and it could be fortuitous. All the crew on the Kingdom are human and they all speak English. General's Chow and Scott are human and they also speak English. General Ha'tal is not human," Rean answered.
"How did humans get that far out in the galaxy before 2100?" she asked.
"I don't know ma'am," he answered wondering that himself.
"Let's finish discussing this over a snack before the meeting," she said, and they walked to her private dining room.

Pegasus Galaxy - Atlantis
"Off world activation," said the blond haired Sargent Taylor as the event horizon opened with the familiar blue swosh and looked at her computer console and realized the gate address was from Furl, and watched as General's Chow and Scott walked into the Atlantis gate room.
"We've been expecting you General's," Major Conrad said. "The President, Secretary Cannon, Generals Wolfe, Gabriel and Rone are waiting for you in the conference room, right this way."
When General's Chow and Scott entered the conference room they saluted and were greeted by President Robert Chambers, Secretary of Defense Jean Marie Cannon, General's Deborah Wolfe, Daniel Michael Gabriel and Rone.
"Let's get down to business," General Wolfe said to everyone in her usual curt business like manner.
"How much are we going to tell the United Federation of Planets?" General Gabriel asked.
"We'll tell them the truth, but we won't give them all the information unless we have to," President Chambers answered.
"President Chambers, Secretary Cannon and I agreed with this course of action. The Federation doesn't need to know everything for the time being, unless it's absolutely necessary," General Wolfe said.
"We'll tell them about the Stargate Program, but we won't share any classified information with them," Secretary Cannon told the Generals.
"Generalities," General Scott said with a smile.
"Yes General," Wolfe replied.
"The Jaffa are concerned about the Supergate. It's too close to Dakara for their liking and they want a permanent presence at the Supergate," General Chow said.
"That's been taken care of Lee," General Wolfe replied, and a star map appeared around the room. "We're now constructing 4 battle stations near the Supergate and we've begun to colonize the only habitable planet in that region of space, which is 2 light years from the Supergate. We're also building a space station above the planet and a small ship yard behind a nebula that's 1.3 light years from the planet. We've now constructing a gate room for the stargate that was delivered a few hours ago and the ship yard will also have one after it's built. There'll be a permanent Fleet stationed there and we've now claimed that space as Atlantis Galactic Federation space."
"I think it's time we speak to Admiral Daniels and Colonel Marell," President Chambers said.

Federation Space - Starbase 313
"Colonel you have a call coming in on your classified channel," Lt. Tandy said.
"I'll take it in my office," Marell said and walked to his office. "Hello Mr. President, Madam Secretary, sirs and ma'ams," he said after punching in a code on his computer.
"We're ready for the conference call Colonel, put us through to Admiral Daniels," Secretary Cannon said.
"Yes ma'am," he replied.
"Admiral the Kingdom is hailing us," Commander Savak said to Daniels over the comm.
"Patch him through," Daniels replied who was waiting in his ready room with President Logan and Admiral Rean on another comm.
"Aye Admiral," he said.
Daniels saw Colonel Marell appear on his computer screen on the bulkhead in his office and saw other people in the background. President Logan and Admiral Rean were connected to the conference call in President Logan's private conference room.
"I would like to introduce you to Vice Admiral Edward Daniels, Commander of Starbase 313," Marell said to his superiors.
They all nodded their heads and Daniels returned the nod and noticed the female General had five stars in a circle on her collars which he thought was strange. She must be their Chief, he thought. He also saw the hard looks on all their faces, especially the one with the scare on his left cheek. He noticed another General wasn't human and had spots on his forehead going to his hairline.
"I'll like to introduce you to President Sara Logan, the President of the United Federation of Planets and Admiral Jaz Rean the Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet," Daniels said introducing them.
"Ten hut," General Wolfe said and the Generals stood up and saluted the President of the United Federation of Planets.
President Chambers got up from his chair and bowed to President Logan. "Madam President," he said with a smile on his face . "I'm President Robert Chambers, President of Lantis."
"Mr. President," she said, returning the smile.
"I'll let everyone else introduce themselves," General Wolfe said.
"I'm Jean Marie Cannon, Secretary of Defense," she said.
"I'm General Chow Lee, Commander of Stargate Command in the Milky Way galaxy."
"I'm Lieutenant General Charlotte Scott, Commander of the Day of Reckoning and Commander of the AGF Fleet in the Milky Way galaxy."
"I'm General Daniel Michael Gabriel, Commander of the AGF Flagship Thor's Hammer and Commander of the Flagship Fleet."
"I am General Rone, Commander of the Judgment Day and second-in-command of the Flagship Fleet, and I'm an Aldan."
"I'm General Deborah Wolfe, Chief of Staff of all the AGF Armed Forces at Stargate Command Headquarters in the Pegasus galaxy." "How are our people Admiral Daniels?" General Wolfe asked him with a smile.
"Fine sir," he answered.
"We call females officers ma'am," she told him.
"I apologize ma'am," Daniels said a little embarrassed.
"No need," she replied.
"I know you must be wondering how you can be on a conference call with us when we're three million light years away – it's because of our technology," Secretary Cannon told them without elaborating.
"What we're about to show you is classified," Wolfe told them, and showed them the recording of the Prior talking to Vice Chancellor Monroe. Then the recording of the Ori ships decimating the AGF Fleet, space station and bombarding Galar II. "Galar II was knocked off its axis and it's an invasion."
"This is not the first time the Ori has invaded the Milky Way galaxy. The last time they were there they had the run of the entire galaxy before we beat them back," Gabriel told them.
"Ten AGF intelligence ships have been tracking them since they arrived though the supergate, at a discreet distance of course, and they have a fleet of 75 ships. We've been tracking their trajectory and we predict they should arrive at Earth in two or three days," Chow told them.
"Earth!" Daniels cried.
"That's been their objective all along Admiral," Gabriel said.
"They've already destroyed eight planets since they arrived, including Galar II and they're wiping out everything in their path. No one can stop them or stand up to their firepower except us," Scott replied.
"What about the Galaran ships?" Rean asked still a little confused, but didn't show it.
"Galar II and III are remote AGF colonies on the outer rim. The Galaran's thought their ships would be sufficient, since they were on par with everyone else in that sector and we acquiesced. Their ships have AGF hyper drive engines and computers, however, they have Galaran weapons, hulls and shields and not AGF weapons, shields and hulls, if they did, none of them would be dead. We're now constructing new ships for Galar III and we won't make that mistake again," Rone told him.
Admiral Daniels sat stunned for a few minutes and couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "When did you beat the Ori back the first time?" Daniels asked. "Colonel Marell said the Tau'ri did that."
"In 2007," Gabriel answered. "Colonel Marell is correct, we were once known as the Tau'ri because we originally came from the first world just as the Galarans did."
"What's the name of the first world?" Admiral Rean asked.
"Earth," General Chow answered. "We began leaving Earth in 2015."
"How?" President Logan asked still stunned, but didn't show it.
"We'll tell you that later Madam President," President Chambers said to her respectfully.
"Let me show you something," Wolfe said and a star map appeared.
They saw a huge structure in space.
"That's the Supergate the Ori constructed in the year 2007 which is nothing but a quantum singularity powered by a black hole and it can last indefinitely. That's how they came to the Milky Way galaxy and that Supergate is nothing but a wormhole," General Scott told him.
"It's a wormhole?" President Logan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes it is Madam President," President Chambers answered.
"Do you travel through the Supergate?" Rean asked.
"All the time on scientific expeditions Admiral," Wolfe answered.
"Would you like to see how the Supergate works?" Secretary Cannon asked.
"Yes we would," President Logan answered.
General Wolfe pressed a few buttons on her computer and they watched as the chevrons encoded and the event horizon shot outward in a beautiful blue swosh.
They gasped and thought it was beautiful.
"I want to show you something else," Wolfe said and pressed another button on her computer and they saw Atlantis, as the sun was setting over the glistening water.
"Its beautiful," President Logan remarked.
"It looks like a city on water," Rean stated.
"It's the Long Lost City of Atlantis and Atlantis is the Headquarters of the AGF. Our planet is called Lantis and we call ourselves Lantians," Gabriel told them.
"We're in one of the Atlantis' conference rooms," President Chambers said with a smile.
"I always thought the Long Lost City of Atlantis was a myth," President Logan said.
"We thought so too until we found her Madam President," General Chow said smiling at the Federation President.
Admiral Rean didn't know what they were talking about, but Admiral Daniels did.
"Of course, the Atlantis Galactic Federation," Daniels said finally understanding.
They smiled at him, including Colonel Marell.
"The AGF has declared war on the Ori after we found out they attacked Galar II," Secretary Cannon told them.
"We'll show you what they've been doing since they arrived," Wolfe said.
They saw other ships engaged in battle with the Ori vessels, but to know avail, and saw the trajectory the Ori were taking, which was leading directly to Earth. They watched as the Ori destroyed entire planets, space stations and ships in a matter of minutes and left nothing in their wake, and it was complete and utter annihilation. They thought they were worse than the Dominion.
"Colonel Marell sent us a tactical analysis of your ships and Starbase and you have minimum shields and very few weapons. You're no match for the might of the Ori, but we are," Gabriel told them.
"The shields and hulls the Galarans had are comparable to yours," General Chow said.
"Few weapons," Rean said with a raised eyebrow, feeling insulted.
"Compared to us, yes Admiral," General Rone replied.
"The Ori attacked the AGF and we're going after them and we'll hunt them down and follow them into hell if need be. We're asking for permission to enter Federation space," General Wolfe said.
"Why don't we tell them about the Stargate Program General Wolfe," President Chambers said.
"Yes sir," Wolfe replied and proceeded to tell them about the Stargate Program and why they left Earth. "Earth has a stargate."
"We have a stargate?" President Logan cried.
"Yes you do Madam President," President Chambers answered.
"Where is it?" Admiral Rean asked, still a little stunned at what he just learned. He had a lot of questions, but knew they would have to wait for a another day.
"NORAD," Secretary Cannon told him.
"You can't use the stargate because there's a vital piece missing and we have that piece," Gabriel told them.
A beep in the Atlantis conference room on the classified channel.
"One moment please," General Wolfe said and entered a code on her computer and saw Colonel Richard Dale of the Hank Landry. "Colonel," she said.
"The Ori are gathering their ships together General. We're still tracking them and they're still on a trajectory to Earth. It looks like they'll arrive in the Sol System in three days or less and I've downloaded more recordings and information into the computers," he said.
"Thank you Colonel," she said and disconnected the link.
President Logan was terrified after hearing that bit of information and knew what she had to do. "The AGF has permission to enter Federation space President Chambers. I'll write a Presidential Directive that cannot be overridden." "How long will it take your Fleet to get here?" she asked.
"Part of General Gabriel's Fleet will leave Atlantis in a few hours after we finish the conference call. When his fleet arrives at Furl, General Scott's Fleet will join his, which will be a total of 400 ships. Then they'll proceed to Starbase 313 with a new ship for Colonel Marell and we'll tow the Kingdom back to the Furl shipyards. We'll hold position at the Starbase for another 4 hours for you to get your Fleet ready," Wolfe answered.
Here's where you'll find the stargate..." Gabriel said.
