SGD Season 1 – Episode 2: Alliances Part 2

Music Suggestions? Halo 3 - To The Citadel, maybe. Or better yet, watch the SGD trailer at www (dot) youtube (dot) com (slash) watch?v=ds1o3el6lyU

A blurry image of an Asgard filled the screen. It was a transmission from Penegal on the surface of Asgard. "We cannot evacuate- the Replicators have already invaded key systems. I do not know how much longer-"

"Are we still heading back to Earth?" Carter asked.

"Yes," Thor said, "Staying here would accomplish nothing. Our technology is useless against the Replicators."

"The fact is, gentlemen, that we cannot just idly stand by and argue! All over the world, people are in a state of shock, millions are dead, cities are destroyed and the Goa'uld are on their way back!" Hayes yelled into the microphone.

"This proposal is unacceptable!" the Chinese Premier argued, "This would keep control in the incompetent hands of the American government!"

The Russians had a more neutral view, "While it is true that the American-led SGC failed to prevent the attack, it could have been a lot worse. In the past years they have made many allies in the name of Earth. We believe the proposal is acceptable. If you would read it carefully, comrade-" the word still had significance in Communist China- "you would see that the Americans would have only the majority of control, not all of it."

Did Russia just side with them? "Do we have your support?"

A pause and a sigh. "Russia is still undecided. We request a recess to contact representatives of our government."

"We could all use a break," Hayes agreed, "All right, we'll start this up again in two hours."

Daniel Jackson

There was a flash of light as Daniel Jackson was beamed up to the bridge. O'Neill appeared inside an Asgard medical pod.

"Well, that was quick," Daniel said. "So, can we have him back now?"

"I am afraid not Daniel Jackson. We believe the Ancient knowledge in his mind is the key to destroying the Replicators, who have invaded our homeworld," Thor said. "It will take some time to reach our homeworld. As you humans say; sit back and relax."

It felt wrong even to Weir to let the System Lords leave. But right now they couldn't take on Ba'al, and they didn't want two enemies. Better to let them fight each other. Weir doubted that they would defeat Ba'al, but hopefully they would buy Earth some time.

"Goodbye," she said, "And good luck."

"Spare the pleasantries," Camulus said as he went through. Yu and his First Prime Oshu followed, saying nothing.

Daniel Jackson

"I have set up the computer to interface with his mind and translate in real time," Thor said, "Reviving him now."

"Hello?" O'Neill said through the computer system, giving his voice a synthetic quality. The lights flickered on and off a few times.

"I would advise you not to play with essential systems, O'Neill."

A hologram appeared on a pedestal in the middle of the bridge. On it, a device of some sort began to take shape.

"What are you-" Daniel began.

"Aaah! You'll see."

White House Command Bunker

"Transmission coming in, sir," reported a communications tech. "Direct line from Russia," he said.

"Patch me through," said the President. A few moments later: "Hello?"

"I apologize for not be able to tell you sooner," the Russian President said, "We would support you, but it would anger certain... elements in our country.

"It has been a long time since the days of Communism, but our country is still fractured and has problems. Recently, "progressive" elements have been pushing for control, via legal and illegal means.

"The worry is, if we agree, the government may seem like puppet to the West, and the country may devolve into chaos. I cannot allow that to happen."

"Andrey," Hayes replied, "You have my personal assurance that we will do whatever is necessary to keep that from happening."

"I fear that is not enough, Mr. President," he replied, and the line clicked off.

Henry Hayes was puzzled about why Russians would react negatively to unification after an alien attack, but reasoned that despite what some said, Russians did not think the same as Americans.

There was a lot more rioting and general dissent in Russia, too.

Daniel Jackson

Shortly after dropping out of hyperspace, an alarm began to sound. Carter's first thought was that they had overloaded the hyperdrive somehow. She quickly dismissed it.

"I cannot keep him alive any longer. I must remove the knowledge and revive him now," Thor said. Moments later, the pod popped open.

Jack stumbled out. "Easy," Sam said, supporting him. He found the cold metal of her armor reassuring for some reason, but his mind was a mess and he didn't remember a lot.

"O'Neill seems to have created something virtually. I am manufacturing it now," Thor explained, moving the Asgard stones around. A strange device appeared on the pedestal.

"Any idea what it is?" Daniel asked.

"Nope. I can't remember anything," the Colonel said, now walking clumsily on his own.

"I am receiving another transmission from Penegal," Thor inturrupted. Another grey Asgard appeared on the screen. "Penegal, what is your status."

"No better than before. The Replicators are acting in an organized and controlled manner. We believe a human form-" The transmission suddenly ended. Thor stayed still for a moment, thinking. Then he began, "I have detected remains of a human-form in the wreckage of the Replicator ship. I am beaming it onboard now."

"Is this safe?" Carter asked as it appeared in the containment pod. "Will that pod contain it?"

"Doubtful," Thor said. "However, we do not have any other options. I will attempt to hack into the Replicator communications network and disrupt it."

Carter opened up one of the crates and took out an awkward looking weapon. "X-698," she explained, "Earth's first home-built energy weapon. Crude and too heavy for a normal human to carry, but it might be able to stop a-"

The human form opened its eyes and broke out of the pod like it was nothing. Carter brought the weapon around and fired. It did some damage, making the Replicator pause and knocking a chunk loose. She fired again, but it kept heading for Thor. Seconds later it was destroyed in a flash of light.

"I discovered what this does," O'Neill said. He held the device like a gun. "It's a replicator... uh, disruptor."

"Analyzing," Thor said, unfazed, "I am not certain, but it appears possible to adapt the device to a large planetary-scale device. I will work as fast as possible, but it will take some time."

Thor was finished a few minutes later.

"That was quick," O'Neill said.

"Our concept of time is slightly different than yours," the Asgard half-joked, "I am firing the weapon."

A massive blue energy pulse surged forth from the ship and enveloped Orilla. On the surface, Replicators dissolved into harmless inactive blocks. On the other side of the planet, a spider shaped ship took off into hyperspace.

"So, is that the end of the Replicators?" O'Neill asked.

"No," Thor said. "A ship made of Replicator blocks managed to escape. It is logical to assume the human-form is onboard.

"It will take time to rebuild, but our people are saved... for the moment. We owe you a debt of gratitude, O'Neill."

"Yeah, we kind of have a favour to ask you, Thor," Daniel said, "As you know, we've been attacked, and we need some help rebuilding. Even if you can smooth the negotiations between our governments a bit, that would help."

"...China will not-" There was a flash of light as the President disappeared. The Secret Service personnel pulled out their guns and several staff panicked.

"Relax," General Hammond said, "It's just the Asgard."

Daniel Jackson

The Jackson was now fully crewed and carried a cargo to be delivered to Earth. Thor beamed up all the government representatives, the names and locations being provided by the SGC. The conference table and chairs were made in a hurry and were ugly, but functional and human sized.

Most of the heads of state were shocked. Henry Hayes wasn't overly surprised, and neither was the Russian President. Having a city destroyed above you did something for the nerves.

"I am Supreme Commander Thor of the Asgard fleet," Thor began.

"Thor?" the British PM asked, "As in, the Norse god of thunder Thor?" It was meant as a joke.

His response was dead serious. "As a matter of fact, yes, but that is not pertinent to this meeting.

"We, the Asgard, are prepared to offer a great deal of technology to your people. This includes an Asgard computer core containing much of our knowledge and several matter transformation units, similar to those in your science fiction.

"We can no longer uphold the Protected Planets treaty, however we are willing to turn three Beliskner-class vessels over to your control. We cannot provide humanitarian aid- our resources are stretched to the limit. We can promise to be your allies against the Goa'uld, Replicators, and other potential enemies, and have a treaty drafted."

"What's the catch?" China asked.

"I do not understand that expression," Thor said. He did, of course.

"What we mean is, what are the conditions of this alliance?" India clarified.

"I see," Thor replied, "One. Disclosure of the Stargate Program, its history and operations. Within reason, of course, not so that it would endanger the personnel or continuing operation of the program. Two. Agreement to the Allied Earth Space Forces Formation Treaty, placing General Hammond at its head, and the stipulated oversight committee. Last, an Asgard embassy and ambassador on Earth, to negotiate with and monitor your race's progress."

White House Command Bunker

General Hammond watched over the live video feed as everyone in the room immediately signed the treaty in front of them, some skimming it, others not bothering to at all. It was fairly obvious that these Asgard wanted to be friendly, but could be mean if they wanted to. And in galactic politics, that meant the destruction of planets.

Officially, the AESF was formed, with him at the head. In reality, it would take months for it to form. But he was determined to shape it into an effective fighting force, as quickly and efficiently as possible. With the entire military-industrial complex of Earth and Asgard technology behind it, the SGC (AESF, he corrected himself) would soon become the dominant power of the galaxy.

It was the beginning of a new era.

Hope you liked that! I deviated quite a bit from canon, and I think it turned out pretty well. Next chapter might be part 3 or a separate episode. It will bring in some new characters and details about the AESF. I don't think there will be any crossovers in this story, but definitely some references and nods. Also expect more videos.
