A Goa'uld's Life

Chapter 7

I grin as I go through the database, of an Ancient outpost, that I just discovered. The data says that this outpost was built after the Alterans returned to Earth, after abandoning their great city ship Atlantis, for reasons unsaid. My eyes light up as I come upon a vital piece of information, a gate address.


I have on me two potentias, the Alteran name for their glowing golden power sources, as I wait for an attempted connection to the Atlantis gate address. One of the potentias is the one that was once in the possession of Ra many years ago, the other was taken from the Ancient outpost I discovered. With a "whoosh" the gate engages and a stable wormhole is achieved. A probe is sent through the gate, and after everything is given the all clear, I signal for a group of jaffa and humans to start taking through supplies. I step though the wormhole and my servants are already getting set up. Systems are being brought online and a perimeter is set up. With a focus of my power I allow my senses to extend around me. Sensing some type of pedestal right in front of me, I force it up out of the floor and examine it. The pedestal seems to be some kind of control interface. I place my hand on the pedestal and my mind is flooded with information. I discover that the pedestal was in place so that if an Alteran ever returned to Atlantis they would be able to quickly take control of the city. Since I have the Ancient gene the pedestal recognized me as enough Alteran that I was able to take control. I found out that the city is currently resting at the bottom of the ocean and with the city's systems being turned back online the remaining power will be used up fairly quickly. I hurry down the hall until I come upon a transporter, and after inputting a command, I am standing outside of the power control room. As I step forward the door to the room automatically opens and I rush inside. I quickly swap out the two depleted potentias for the two charges ones in my possession. Knowing that I now don't have to worry about the ocean to come crashing through the windows I let out a sigh of relief.


An entire week has passed since I first stepped foot onto Atlantis. In that time the city has been raised to the surface of the ocean, a creature that absorbs energy was found and destroyed, a gate ship built to be able to travel through time, and dozens of Ha'tak and Rai'tak arrive bringing plasma cannons, defense satellites, and towers to form a shield around the planet. Scans of the ocean detected a drilling platform, which was quickly brought back online, and a crashed Wraith cruiser containing a single survivor, a wraith queen. After going through the city's database it was discovered that the wraith are the reason that the Ancients abandoned Atlantis in the first place. The Wraith are a vampiric hive-based species that harvest the 'life-force' of other humanoid beings for nourishment through suckers on their right hand palm. The Ancients were beaten in a war against the Wraith many years ago. The Ancients, while having a huge technological advantage, were too outnumbered to overcome the Wraith. The Wraith queen put up an exceptional fight and managed to kill three of my men before a jaffa blew her head to pieces with a pulse rifle. According to Atlantis's database this is not a good thing considering the death of a Wraith queen will cause the other Wraith in hibernation to awaken.

A hyperspace window opens up above the planet Lantea, the Ancient's name for the planet, and a Rai'tak appears hauling a discovered Alteran warship called the Aurora. A homing beacon was detected coming from the Ancient ship and a Rai'tak was quickly dispatched to check it out. It was a huge surprise to discover that the ship is full of an entire crew that placed themselves in stasis. After destroying a Wraith cruiser that arrived after detecting the beacon as well the Rai'tak was ordered to bring the ship and the crew back to Lantea, where the extremely aged Alterans will have their consciousness placed in a younger cloned body. Placing them in a younger cloned body is made possible by the Asgard's willingness to share with me their cloning and conscious transferring technology. When I informed them of why I required those pieces of technology they seemed exceptionally willing to help.

After the crew of the Aurora was transferred to younger bodies I explained to them everything that had happened in the time they had been in stasis. After a lot of talk the captain of the Aurora, whose name is Jomaw, agrees that he and his crew are willing to serve my empire as long as they are allowed to continue fighting the Wraith.

I and Jomaw are walking down the pier that the Aurora is docked when I speak up.

"I hope you are still willing to be the captain of the Aurora."

"Of course, although I don't see how she will ever be fit for fighting again in her condition."

I smile as I place my palm upon the outer hull of the ship.

Repairo I silently cast.

It is with unbelievable amazement that Jomaw watches as my power causes the ship to repair itself into pristine condition.


I stare down at the big gaping hole which was once covering a buried Ancient city ship. The city was discovered being used by this planets "Royal Family" who were using the drones to keep the villagers under control. The Royal Family was quickly kicked out and a major excavation project was put underway. The city actually turns out to have only minor damage after it is dug up and repairs should have it in pristine condition before the week is over. A lucky find in the power room was a dozen spare potentias placed in storage.

A jaffa sees me and quickly runs over.

"Sir, we have managed to find the city's name in it computer. Its name is Lemuria."

Lemuria, I muse, it has a nice ring to it.


"My Lord, we have been trying to use the city's ship recall system to find any more Ancient ships still in the galaxy. We have located four ships. One is on the planet of a former Alteran outpost, one is drifting in the middle of space, another is crashed on an uninhabitable planet, and the last is in the void between this galaxy and the Milky Way. The one in the void seems to be in use and is moving at ninety nine point nine percent the speed of light."

"Send ships out to all of the locations and retrieve them immediately."


Lemuria is currently on flight to Nes'Rai, after its repairs. The other Ancient war ships have been retrieved and repaired; the one in the void contained a full crew of Alterans that, after some help convincing from Jomaw, were welcomed into my empire. The outpost that was housing one of the ships turned out to be a construction base. After bringing the locals into the empire, which includes the normal mind interface download, the outpost was brought fully online and it has begun construction of drone weapons and potentias. Unfortunately, it takes approximately three months to build just one potentia. The outpost was powered by a dormant super volcano it is built upon, but it is decided to install a naquadria generator to power the facility as to not risk reactivating the super volcano.

An extra shield has been placed on Lantea that covers the entire mainland. This shield is necessary to protect the populations and infrastructure, that's being built, from the huge mega storm that ravages across the planet every twenty years.

Two hundred Ha'tak, three hundred Al'kesh, one hundred Rai'tak, and two hundred Orak'tak have arrived above Lantea, in the Pegasus Galaxy. I also have five Alteran Warships. It's time to take on those disgusting creatures called the Wraith.

"We are going to take the first strike against the Wraith, we have to hit them hard and show no mercy in the battles to come. You all have your targets, now let's kill some Wraith."

Based on my data there are approximately eight hundred Wraith hive ships in the galaxy. Groups of my ships are going to do a huge preemptive strike against the enemy. Hopefully we will catch them with their pants down so to speak. I myself am leading a group against one of the Wraith's largest hives.


Deep in Wraith territory twenty hyperspace windows open up, out of which come me group of ships which includes five Ha'tak, eight Al'kesh, five Orak'tak, three Rai'tak, and the Alteran warship Aurora.

"Launch Death Gliders and get me a complete reading on the enemy's forces."

"Gliders are launched and the enemy forces include nine hive ships and twenty four cruisers. They are launching fighters as well."

With frightening precision the three Rai'tak's main weapons take aim and cut through three of the enemy hive ships. The Ha'tak and Orak'tak slice through the Wraith's cruisers with brutal efficiency. Drone weapons launch from the Aurora and take out another two of the hive ships.

"Sir, Orak'tak number three's shield is down to forty percent and is pulling out of the fight."

One of the Wraith cruisers takes advantage of the Orak'tak's weakened state and heads on a straight course towards it while firing energy blasts along the way.

"Destroy that cruiser now" I yell out.

Shots fire toward the cruiser but it, with graceful skill, manages to outmaneuver the attacks heading for it and proceeds to plow into the side of the retreating Orak'tak. The Orak'tak's already weakened shields shatter upon impact and both ships go up in a fiery death.

"Sir, I huge mass of Wraith fighters are heading straight for us in a suicide run. Most of them will be shot down but a large number will still make it though."

Snarling at the approaching Darts, the name of the Wraith fighters, I rise out of my chair. I stretch my palm in front of me and a huge ball of lighting starts to form in front of my ship. With a feral grin, I push forward, which cause the ball of lighting to shoot out toward the approaching Darts. Every Dart that is touched by the lighting blows up in a flash of blue light.

Out of my ship come hundreds of glowing drones; the drone weapons were discovered to be so powerful that all my ships are now being upgraded with them. The drones fly toward the remaining hive ships and tear them to pieces. Soon my forces have wiped out this portion of the Wraith.

"Status report."

"Sir, we lost an Al'kesh and an Orak'tak, twenty Death Gliders, and one of the Ha'tak took some major damage."

"Send the Ha'tak back to Lantea for repairs, the rest of us are going to the next target."


The initial attack on the Wraith cut down the approximate number of hive ships down form one thousand to only four hundred. While my forces took many loses as well, it's considered a huge victory in this war.

For the next phase of this war, I sent a transmission out, to the remaining Wraith forces, that imitated as if it came from a hive ship right before it was destroyed. The transmission revealed that my forces are located on Lantea and that only thirty ships are guarding it. This is false information though; in all actually I have hundreds of ships guarding it. The Wraith, seeing this as an opportunity to destroy the ones responsible for destroying half their forces, took the bait and now have a force of one hundred and fifty hive ships headed for an attack on Lantea. With the number of ships defending the planet, the defense satellites, and the planetary plasma cannons ready for the attack the Wraith are headed right into a slaughter house.

While the attack on Lantea is going on, which I trust my servants to take care of, I am in a cloaked Rai'tak over forty thousand light years away. The remaining Wraith forces are meeting here on the request of one the most influential Wraith Queens, who is currently fighting a losing battle against the Imperious Curse.

"Have all the Wraith forces arrived?"

"Yes, My Lord. All Wraith forces are accounted for."

"Then fire the package and get us out of here."

Out of my ship a small rocket flies toward the sun. My ship quickly jumps into hyperspace and the Sun explodes wiping out the Wraith forces and anything else in its solar system.


The destruction of the Wraith has caused the beings of this galaxy to flock to me. Many different groups of humans have joined me including the Athosians, a group of hunters, farmers, and traders from the planet Athos, the Satedans, a group of advanced military people from the planet Sateda, the Genii, a military society that built their entire civilization underground to hide from the wraith, the Travelers, a group of humans who lived their entire lives aboard space ships to avoid cullings by the wraith, the Olesians, an advanced society that had an agreement with a Wraith where they sacrificed their worst criminals to the Wraith for feeding, the Hoffins, a group of humans that have been trying to make themselves immune to wraith feeding, and many other civilizations of humans throughout the galaxy. Being contacted by a rogue group of Asgard that had split off from the Ida Galaxy's Asgard many years ago lead to many future possibilities being opened up. After much negotiating, which is speeded along when I reveal I have access to a permanent cure for their cloning problems, the rogue group of Asgard join my empire. With these Asgard now serving me it may allow a way for me to not be forced to destroy the Ida Galaxy Asgard. I know the Asgard in Ida will always be a threat to my ambitions to rule, but with these Asgard that have now joined me I may be able to force the Ida Asgard into "new management" so to speak.

With the Wraith now gone this dwarf galaxy is an untapped gold mine. There is no one around that can oppose me as I conquer world after world and bring them into my empire. The galaxy's resources have been practically untouched because of the fact that the Wraith were able to grow most of their technology.


I step out of the Stargate on the planet Asuras and smile at the glaring robotic life forms that call themselves the Asurans. The Asurans are a technological life-form originally created by the Lanteans, or Alterans if you prefer, as a means of fighting the Wraith. However, when they concluded that the Asurans would not be the weapon they sought, the Lantean Council sent a fleet of Aurora-class battleships to Asuras, wiping out the laboratory and the nanites, and deleted all references to the project from their database, save for Asuras' Stargate address. But, one of the Alterans to join my empire knew about the project, so I had a team sent to the planet to see if anything was left behind. It was with great surprise that it was discover that some of the nanites survived, and began to replicate again which resulted in the Second Birth of the Asurans. After the Lanteans lost the war and returned to the Milky Way galaxy, the Asurans began to attack the Wraith. The Wraith created a shut down code that deactivated their directive to attack them. This resulted in them returning to their homeworld where they isolated themselves to that planet alone.

"I see you are all happy to see me" I say with as much enthusiasm I can muster.

I know that their programming prevents them from harming me, because of my newest cloned body made using Alteran DNA.

I make my way through the city until I come to the room holding the Asuran's base code. Walking to a control panel I input a program that will cause the nanites in the Asurans to break apart. It's a mystery to me why the Lanteans didn't shut down the Asurans this way in the first place, but maybe they were to afraid to step foot on Asuras with the Asurans knowing they were going to be shut down. I would normally use these Asurans for my own purposes but I believe that they are too much of a risk to allow existing at the moment.

"Please reconsider what you're..." an Asuran starts to plead only to be interrupted when I input a command and he crumbles apart.
