Chapter 12- 1999 Season 3
AN: Since Hathor is currently sharing a cell block with Apophis the season 2 finale and season 3 premiere episodes never took place. Since it looks like Apophis was deposed by his son Chlorel and not SG-1 the goauld don't realize how serious a threat earth is to them. Therefore Episode 3: Fair Game never took place. Harry is trying to avoid letting the Asgard know he is back because they are currently in a treaty with the goauld. The GRA (Great Races Alliance) prevents him from using his technology to aid earth without the alliance's approval, which he isn't going to wait around for.
The next mission that SG-1 went on turned out to be on earth. The Tokra had been doing a census on the Goauld system lords and they lost track of Seth around the time of the uprising and subsequent gate burying done by the ancient Egyptians. Jacob Carter/Selmak was the Tokra representative who came to earth to explain their theory that Seth was still alive on earth.
After Jack's comments about it being a needle in a six billion strong haystack nobody really expected to find him easily if at all. So they were then surprised when a few hours later Daniel had tracked him down using the CIA's records and various other historical sources. Harry checked the pnet scans showing naquadah sources distributed throughout earth and confirmed that the location for Seth's cult near Seattle was one such source.
The newer upgraded pnet satellites were the only version so far that could scan for naquadah sources. The old version couldn't. There were so many sources of naquadah left lying around after the various cultures throughout history that used it left that it would likely never all be investigated.
When they got to Seth's compound and scouted out the guards and compound layout they returned to the perimeter to find ATF telling them to drop their guns. After a pissing match between O'Neill and the ATF commander that was resolved by a call to the president they developed a plan to capture Seth.
Selmak figured that the method of control was Nishta, a mind control programmable organism that is inhaled. Harry was pretty sure that the infection wards they all wore would stop it. When Sam pointed out that Jacob and Teal'c couldn't go in because of the goauld they carried Harry pointed out the same thing for her with the naquadah in her blood.
It was decided that Daniel, Jack, and Harry would go in. When they got to the end of the escape tunnel they had discovered Harry sensed the rings above them. He warned the others right as they activated. When they were rematerialized they were surrounded with guns pointing at them.
When Seth tried to use the Nishta on the three it didn't work just as Harry suspected. Before Seth could react Harry told Jack and Daniel to get down. Harry fired off a massive area effect concussion EM, which he would later explain was a Star concussion grenade. Everybody but Harry was stunned and dazed into unconsciousness.
Seth started to recover faster than anybody else but Harry surged towards him and hit him with stunners from his gauntlet until he went down. Harry started tapping all of the Nishta infected people with a finger as he channeled a small amount of electricity into it from the power converter EM, after securing Seth. Harry woke up Jack and Daniel before the rest of the backup was called in.
It was quite comical to have Seth, Hathor, and Apophis sharing a cell block. SG-1 seemed to get a kick out of visiting once a month and verbally taunting the prisoners. Escape was not an option for the goauld captives. The president had given Harry carte blanche in his designs for the prisoners as long as they didn't escape.
One of the best features of the prison was that if they managed to get to the door on the cell block the wards would strike them with a big enough lightning bolt to kill them instantly but small enough that there was something left to revive in the sarcophagus. The same thing would happen if they tried to jump hosts to one of the guards or visitors. Jacob and Selmak highly enjoyed the chance to taunt the former system lords.
SG-1's next mission had them running into one of Ma'chello's weapons against the goauld. Everybody thought Daniel was hallucinating when he became infected with the weapon which was out of phase when it was trying to dispose of a goauld that wasn't present in Daniel. Harry used telepathy and found that he really was seeing the visions he said he was. Alice recognized the symptoms from one of the weapons designs that Ma'chello had entered into the Star database. He was quickly able to deactivate the weapon. Harry decided that weapon would need some work because of its nature of being indiscriminate against goauld whether one was present or not.
A few days later SG-1 came across a civilization that used a procedure where a select group of child researchers gave a brain cell to every other member of their civilization when they were done with their assigned project. The nature of the procedure left the child's mind reverted to an infant like state. Harry found this out through telepathy and foresaw the problem immediately. O'Neill would get attached and try to project his views and morals onto an alien cultures, probably offending them in the process.
Earth had managed to make a trade agreement with these people for naquadah reactor technology that was more efficient than Goauld designs. Harry informed Hammond of the situation and they managed to distract O'Neill for the time that the child was there to help Sam. Harry may not have agreed with their methods but he wasn't going to try to force his will upon another culture.
Harry later went back after having one of his research departments study the method that was used to pass on the knowledge. The knowledge wasn't actually gone; well it wasn't gone from the soul anyway. Harry had the research team construct a device that would replace the removed brain cells with new blank ones. The device then extracted the memories from the soul of the patient and transferred them to the conscious mind restoring them to full health.
His conditions for the device were that they simply didn't tell anybody about the device and where they got it from. It was amazing what the Star research teams could do now that they had access to the Alteran repository which Harry had made available after copying it onto the mainframe. The employees were bound by oaths and EMs to not use the knowledge from the repository except on work issues, or anything Harry or his wives said they could.
The next big project that Star output to the general public was the medical bed that he gave to the SGC. It was cheaper than the combined medical equipment that most hospitals purchased. It seemed to reinforce Harry's image as being a genius on the level of Einstein. It was unfortunate that Harry couldn't release that he wasn't the creator of the technology because that just wouldn't do.
Over the past few years Harry had purchased most of the companies that supplied the world's house building materials and food products. The economic backlash from releasing the grav cars was getting progressively worse. The oil industry was a rather large industry before cars that ran without fuel came onto the market.
To offset this Harry was going to start releasing extremely low price building materials and food made by Alteran technologies like the e to m converter. In this way people's needs were met at extremely low costs. Harry used his newfound wealth to start getting into the banking industry. He was making it so that people who hit hard times wouldn't have their homes foreclosed on. Those who lost their jobs because of new technologies were finding that the bank was giving them really good deals.
Harry created quite a few construction companies world wide that would install prefabricated housing. The prefabricated housing was made by extremely fast and efficient technology so it was extremely cheap.
Harry was tinkering around in the lab when Alice alerted him that the quantum mirror had just come on. Harry had to smile to himself. It was always fun to play around with ARs. He also wouldn't have to hide the fact that he was Alteran. Who came through was also a surprise. It was Sam and Major Kowalski. Harry immediately had Alice make two arm bands to alter their energy signature slightly.
It turned out that in their reality earth had just been conquered by the Goauld, Apophis in particular. Harry immediately prepared a special probe while the major and Sam were settling in. This probe which Harry had the constructors build a while back was designed for missions where ARs were involved. It used the same technology that the quantum mirror did to access ARs except it didn't need a counterpart in that reality.
The orb would go to the reality that the major and Samantha (going to refer to her as that for simplicities sake) had arrived from. The reality frequency was relayed from the mirror to the probe. Alice was giving him information from the probe cloaked in the AR. It looked like Apophis only took two ships. It also looked like there were no Alteran descendents in that reality. There were the occasional squib but it looked like no counterpart of Harry. They probably killed themselves off with war or inbreeding long ago.
When Harry went to speak with their guests he found his wives speaking with Samantha and Kowalski. He found that Samantha was married to Jack. Samantha and Kowalski were shocked to learn they were being hosted by the race who built the stargates. They were even more shocked when Harry offered to retake their world for them. The casual way he mentioned defeating the Goauld on earth left them in a dumbfounded state.
When Harry learned that Jack had only been dead for three days in the AR he figured he would have him brought back through the use of the time turner. Hell he figured it might not be so bad to bring back all of the SGC personnel if it was easily doable. Harry called all of his wolf teams that weren't on assignment together along with the teams that would do the recovery with the time travel fields.
He briefed them on the situation and they formed a plan of attack. They didn't need to use the quantum mirror to get to the AR any more than the probe did thanks to armbands with the mirror technology built in that Harry named AR bands. The golems that the recovery teams used for these purposes only had enough memories to simulate the method in which their real life counterparts would have died, without any feelings. They weren't full copies of the consciousness, which would have been cruel.
The teams were invisible and out of phase, much like the Retu to keep from contaminating the timeline, using a field generator that Harry had used the Alteran knowledge to modify based off of the Tollan devices. Pretty soon the recovery teams returned with all of the formerly thought dead SGC personnel. The intel that the telepaths were sending back informed Harry that Apophis would be arriving at the half destroyed SGC the next day. The only person left alive on the base was Hammond who was the Goauld prisoner.
The team replaced him with a golem and came back to their reality. The wolf teams would take care of the rest of the Jaffa and Apophis the next day. Meanwhile there were many surprised SGC personnel being reunited with perfectly healthy friends who they had thought dead, and in some cases watched die.
Samantha was very grateful to Harry for bringing Jack back. Harry just told her that he would do anything for his Sam no matter what reality she was from. That earned him kisses from all of his lovely wives.
The next day the wolf teams along with Harry arrived at the AR to find the Jaffa bowing to Apophis and then watched with silent laughs as Apophis tortured the Hammond golem, which was nothing more than a very sophisticated but unfeeling computer. The team then decided they had enough fun and took out all of the Jaffa and Apophis in under five seconds. All of the Star personnel carried stun gauntlets at all times for safety purposes. All of the prisoners were imprisoned for the SGC personnel to decide what to do with later.
The team started to repair the base with abundant use of the reparo EM and permanent transfiguration. When they were done it looked brand new. When the Star teams brought the SGC personnel back from what they referred to as a vacation in heaven they were amazed at the state of their base and the two newly acquired Goauld Hatac class vessels that wolf teams had liberated from the remaining Jaffa earlier.
Harry had taken the liberty of replacing the beds in the infirmary with his new medical bed. He also gave Samantha a computer watch with a significant portion of the Alteran database in it. He told her to call him if she ever needed anything. It also contained a spell generator and most of Harry's other handy technologies. The watch would be able to communicate with him easily.
After getting back from that mission Harry ordered a team to Antarctica to repair the Alteran outpost there. It only took them a few hours to reach the buried outpost which had held up pretty well considering it had been buried under a few miles of ice for the last five million years. Harry had the constructors start to repair the facility. Its ZPM was depleted but that was easily remedied.
ZPMs work by drawing the zpe from an artificial dimension (like Harry's trunk) within the natural dimension referred to as subspace or that dimension which most race's fast communications propagated through. When ZPMs became depleted it was because they had drawn all of the zpe from that artificial dimension that it could without exotic particles starting to be drawn in dangerous quantities. To "recharge" it all that had to be done was to open a new artificial dimension. The Alterans had never built recharging devices, although they could, for similar reasons to them never building healing devices after a certain point in their evolution.
They could use their natural ability to manipulate zpe to reset the dimension. Harry did so with the one at the outpost. Harry had the constructors start making more of the drone weapons that the outpost could fire when he saw that the outpost only had enough to repel one fleet. He also ordered construction began on another chair weapons platform at the CS Star facility.
He wouldn't be able to use the weapons until a time of great need because the excuse of the technology being proprietary to Star would be hard pressed to cover this advanced of a technology. Harry ordered the Antarctica facility to be placed under the same wards as his other facilities.
To accommodate Harry's desire to study time travel he had one of his probes capable of traveling to ARs search out a reality that didn't have any life in the Milky Way. He then sent constructors to that reality to build testing equipment to experiment with wormholes, high gravity fields, and the plasma energy fields generated during a solar flare. These were all of the fields that interacted when a stargate sent its travelers back in time.
Harry had a computer consciousness that could control the constructors do the experiments so there was no risk. It would send along updates periodically with its results in case the experiments ended up destroying that particular AR. Harry didn't expect results for quite some time. This method completely got around one of the problems the Alterans had with studying time travel. The second major problem was the ability of the technology to be misused. Harry would put safeguards in place to prevent that should the experiments succeed.
On the next planet SG-1 traveled to they were searching for a downed UAV. Harry had the pnet satellite search for any other humanoid life signs in the area. He found two. The first one appeared to be holed up in a cave a few miles away and the second seemed to be waiting in the direction they were following Sam's readings to the probe.
Harry suspected an ambush. He told the others he would be right back. He snuck up on the life sign that seemed to be lying in ambush. Harry stunned and secured the man before starting to use telepathy to figure out the situation.
It seems he was a bounty hunter named Aris Boch. It appeared he was here to capture a Goauld but when SG-1 showed up he couldn't resist collecting extra bounty or getting help for the Goauld. The man's history told that all but a few of his race was wiped out because their kind couldn't be taken as hosts.
They were also resistant to zat guns. Harry was glad his stun gauntlet was a different energy than that of zat guns. The survivors were given a forced addiction to a chemical that the Goauld would only give them in payment for certain services. Alice scanned the chemical and determined that she could synthesize it. Harry had her use the upgraded Alteran e to m converter she had in her pocket dimension to create a small device that would synthesize the chemical in the required dosages.
Harry was amused to see that Boch had removed the gate control crystals in an attempt to trap them on this planet. His ship apparently had an upgrade made recently to it, a cloaking generator. It seemed the Goauld were starting to steal new technologies or heaven forbid actually create them themselves.
Harry drug the bound Boch back to the others and explained the situation. Harry told them that he would be right back again. He then shadow walked right behind the Goauld Keltar thanks to his life sign readings and stunned him. Unconscious Goauld were a lot easier to use telepathy on. He learned that he wasn't Goauld but Tokra. He healed the unconscious Tokra's injuries with his healing band (from Hufflepuff).
Harry then shadow walked both of them close to the others and revived the Tokra. They all had a nice chat, conscious Boch included. Boch gladly accepted the synthesizer that would free him from the Goauld control. Keltar ended up making it safely back to the Tokra base on Vorash while Boch went in search of more of his people to help.
On another mission about a week later SG-1 found a Christian based culture that was currently terrorized by a Goauld/Unas in the service of Sokar who was impersonating the devil. While they were waiting for the Unas to return the next day to ambush him they found out that the locals were going to perform a ritual of cleansing on a girl who they thought was possessed but was actually infected with the simple chicken pox.
Harry used his healing band while just telling the rest of the team that it was a much less functional version of the medical bed. This wasn't true because it was actually much more functional because Harry could directly control the band with his mind and augment it with his powers. Harry managed to persuade the local man that the ritual of cleansing which consisted of drilling holes into a sick person's head was a bad idea. Harry gave the priest a communicator to contact him if there was ever somebody sick again to the point where they were going to perform the ritual and he would send somebody to heal them. Harry could have a golem respond to situations like this with a spell generator to heal.
He also decided to send a golem back to start instructing these types of civilizations with at least a basic high school level of education. It would probably take many golems and many years but having the education level around the galaxy go up would not be a bad thing.
When they were confronted by the local priest that chose who was sacrificed to the Unas about being demons O'Neill decided to argue with him. His argument was cut short when the man activated a piece of technology he was wearing on his ring finger and a lightning bolt came down and struck the ground in the middle of where SG-1 was standing.
Everybody but Harry and Sam was knocked unconscious. The locals were awestruck that the stun weapon had no effect. Harry just fired his own stunner at the man and retrieved the device that he recognized as an old Alteran design from the unconscious man. Harry used telepathy on the man and found that the device was passed down to the people in his position since their recorded history.
When Harry saw the abuse of power that the corrupt official performed he just executed the man. He had killed so many innocent people while in power. Anybody who questioned him was declared possessed. It reminded Harry of the Salem witch hunts that made the EAs go into hiding.
The next day the ambush on the Unas went off without a hitch. When it walked into the center of town which was cleared of people for the ambush and started spouting threats because nobody was tied to the stakes SG-1 just lobbed two grenades at the bastard. Even an Unas didn't seemed to be able to survive that explosion. The people were quite thankful.
With the standard wards over the gate along with the pnet satellite in orbit watching them the people shouldn't be troubled by the Goauld further.
AN: With Apophis captured at the end of Season 1 I'm going to assume he didn't consider earth enough of a threat before then to set up the events that happened in Episode 9 so it isn't going to be in here. Episode 11 didn't happen because Sharai is safe on earth with Daniel. Episode 11 ended up being a normal planet because Lanaya was never freed.
Not long after being back from their latest mission Martouf of the Tokra arrived to inform them that Jacob/Selmak had been captured and imprisoned on Natu, Sokar's version of hell. The only person ever to escape Natu was Jolinar. Jolinar had been unforthcoming about how she escaped the hellish moon. Martouf wanted to know if Sam knew of a way to let them escape.
Harry and Sam both had a complete set of Jolinar's memories that related to her Tokra missions. They had gotten rid of memories concerning personal matters. They informed Martouf of the set of rings located on the moon. Harry assured them that he could get the rings working no matter what the setup.
They were soon leaving from the planet Vorash in the cargo ship that Jolinar had escaped in. When Martouf explained that the engines could only be run at 40% of the speed they were supposed to be capable of because they were damaged Harry disappeared into the engine room of the ship. He started to trace all of the systems of the ship with Alice's help.
When the Goauld scavenged these technologies they made a great many errors that caused the energy to be used inefficiently. Harry started to reconfigure the ships systems. Alice could create any parts he needed using the e to m converter. Without making some major modifications to the systems Harry was able to get the hyperdrive to travel at two times the speed it could travel before when it was fully repaired. He also had brought a cloaking field generator which he installed.
When Harry learned that Natu was a moon orbiting the planet that Sokar made his home base he brought with him an Alteran weapon that used a ZPM to create an explosion big enough to destroy an entire solar system very quickly. If the chance arose to take out a fleet of Goauld ships he would take it.
When Martouf learned about Harry's modifications to the ship he was amazed. When he tried to question Harry about it the others just told him not to bother. When they arrived in orbit above Natu, now cloaked, they were launched to the planet's surface from the escape pods. Harry found it funny when O'Neill made a big deal about taking weapons with him. Harry still carried every weapon under invisibility wards that he would normally carry. He was literally capable of fighting a war with all of the weapons he had on him.
They made their way into the underground chamber once they had landed. Once there Sam asked for Binar, the Goauld Jolinar had seduced so she could escape, so that they might learn where Jacob/Selmak was being held. It worked after O'Neill got thrown on his ass by Binar's hand device. They were taken to a pit and thrown in where they found Jacob/Selmak injured. Harry used his wrist healing device to heal all of his injuries.
Soon Sam was taken to see Binar while Harry followed her invisible. Harry listened to the Goauld question Sam until he was about to kill her. At that point Harry snapped Binar's neck. Harry destroyed the body with a fire EM. He checked out the setup on the rings and found that Alice could control them very easily. Harry pulled out the golem replica of Binar that they had made for this mission from Jolinar's memories. It wasn't hard to modify the ruined eye that Binar now sported (apparently Sokar hadn't been too pleased with Binar for allowing Jolinar to escape); the golems could shift forms like a metamorphagus could with simple transfiguration.
Harry and Sam made their way back to the pit invisibly. They freed the two Tokra and the rest of SG-1. They then made their way back to Binar's chambers and the ring platform stunning anybody in the way with Harry's stun gauntlet. Harry gave the Binar golem the Alteran bomb and then activated the rings to the interception coordinate that Alice relayed to the cloaked Teal'c.
They jumped into hyperspace and Harry ordered the Binar golem to go to Sokar and detonate the weapon in his face. It was amusing to watch later as Sokar had a bomb blow up in his face. All of the others were amazed at the exploding solar system. There was no need to worry about Sokar's fleet after that incident.
After that incident SG-1 came back from their mission to find out that one of the returning SG teams had apparently been impersonated by an alien species in an attempt to take over the SGC. They didn't get very far because of the wards. The wards should have only stunned them but their physiology apparently couldn't withstand the stunner, all four died.
Their impersonation method was apparently a holographic device that projected the image of the person you're trying to imitate. It was similar to Harry's illusion personal ward except it didn't use zpe. The four devices recovered were sent to area 51 for study and Harry sent a recovery team to rescue the SG team before they went on the mission.
On their next mission the SGC MALP showed a paradise looking planet with sun and white sandy beaches but Harry's pnet satellite showed something different. The satellite showed a lab looking area with decently advanced technology. Harry had Alice make it look like the gate on the other planet was malfunctioning by causing it to shut down and not open back up without a command by him.
He wasn't about to have his team walk onto a planet that reeked of ambush. It was like the inhabitants were luring the travelers to visit their planet with the beach images. That planet was written off as having a buried gate. When Harry later sent an out of phase probe to the planet and observed the actions of the scientist there he felt vindicated in his actions regarding the team not visiting there.
On the next planet SG-1 visited the planet was about to pass through an asteroid field that would have meteors hitting the surface of the planet which would cause much destruction and death for the local people if they didn't leave the planet. A few of the villagers were going to stay behind when one of the village leaders accused SG-1 of just wanting the planets resources for themselves once the villagers left.
The Alterans had some pretty damn sophisticated software. With the sensor data of the asteroid belt taken by the pnet satellite Harry was able to develop a very accurate model of what was going to happen. When he showed the villagers the detailed holographic model of where specifically things were going to get destroyed that convinced any unbelievers to not want to stay behind. If he had to lace a little power into his voice along with a compulsion aura to help he wasn't too concerned as long as it saved lives.
Sure enough when everyone was safely back on earth and they tried to dial Edora (the planet in question) after the shower the probe was crushed as soon as it left. This meant the gate was buried. Scara was able to send a few Jaffa in an Alkesh to unbury the gate and remove the liquid naquadah that had formed an iris of sorts.
Over the course of the next few weeks the SGC was approached by the Asgard, Tollans, and Nox because technology was being stolen from protected planets by SGC personnel. This meant that the SGC had finally come into contact with the Asgard, but unfortunately it was under less than ideal circumstances.
Harry was going to try to avoid giving anything away in his dealings with the two remaining great races that would reveal him as Alteran. Such an action would prevent him from using his technology to fight the Goauld because of the treaty the Goauld were currently in with the Asgard. Not unless he was willing to go and fight an all out war and wipe the Goauld out quickly.
While he was making great progress with his first battle ship he didn't want to take that action in his first war on a galactic scale. That would be showing too much of his hand too soon. That would show one of the true flaws that the great races seemed to have, their arrogance. It was much better in Harry's opinion to use gorilla warfare techniques and always keep your advantages hidden by revealing some of the lesser technologies to draw attention away from the more powerful technologies.
To resolve the situation with the stolen technology the three races were willing to take their technology back and sever all communications between themselves and earth. The Asgard were likely to take the earth gate in the process. Harry could put up wards that blocked Asgard sensors and therefore transporters around the SGC but such an action would raise their suspicions. The Alterans had helped the Asgard build these technologies.
To solve the theft problem Jack went undercover by stealing a Tollan device that disabled weaponry when the team was visiting the new Tollan home world on a trade mission. This action led to Jack being forcibly retired. He was able to "convince" Hammond to let him retire on the recently rebuilt Edora where he had been given a standing invitation to stay with a woman he had become very good friends with. He did this after he was approached by Maybourne to join the team of thieves off world.
Harry had never had the pleasure of meeting Maybourne because the man had always arrived too late to accomplish his goals in most situations where he was doing something shady or unethical. The unit of thieves had a mole inside the SGC who Jack was able to identify. The operation ended up going very well. When Daniel discovered the ruse he was quite perturbed that he wasn't told. Harry just smirked because he knew and had told Sam; Teal'c didn't seem to be bothered by much.
It looked like one operative had been able to use a captured Jaffa outfit to stow away onboard an Alkesh. The Alkesh was leaving from the Hatac that was permanently stationed on earth going on a mission. Once the operative had gotten to a world with a gate he had been able to infiltrate a Goauld world where he stole a cargo ship which he used to pick up more people and supplies for their offworld base. All in all it was a successful operation.
On their next offworld mission SG-1 traveled to a planet that wouldn't connect the last time it was dialed. It was a cold dial program that Sam had created that showed the gate had been unburied since the last time they had dialed. When the two people on the other side of the gate were observed through the invisible anti grav drive powered MALP Daniel started contact through the holographic generator that was an upgrade for the MALP.
When the man who spoke with Daniel, Nyan, invited them through SG-1 was soon on the planet. Harry used telepathy on the man to assess the situation when his empathic abilities picked up the anxiety oozing off the man. Apparently this world was at war over the existence of the Stargate which had been buried in violent earthquakes 2000 years ago. SG-1 apparently had come through the gate on the wrong continent.
Nyan knew if the officials of his continent found out about the gate activity they would likely call SG-1 optrican spies and kill them. Harry quickly took control of the situation when his pnet satellite told him that there were multiple transport craft headed their way. He had Alice dial the gate while he explained the situation to the others. Harry put a portkey on the gate that would take it to the capital building on the other continent which he located using a combination of Nyan's geographic knowledge and the pnet satellite.
Alice would activate the portkey after SG-1 got back to earth. Alice could manipulate the transport field to encompass the still buried DHD and take it with the gate. When that was accomplished they stepped through the gate back to earth not a moment too soon as they could see transports coming towards them in the distance.
When SG-1 arrived on the next planet on their mission list they encountered a huge Mayan pyramid that apparently housed a compound that could slow down neutrinos enough to create Lepton radiation. The infection ward would protect against the radiation that was a result of the collision of neutrinos with the compound.
When they got into the structure and made their way over to the skull that was identical to the one Daniel's grandfather, Nick, had discovered years ago and claimed was a transport device. Harry was busy paying attention to Alice's scans and listening in amusement to Sam talking about the discoveries she was making. She and Hermione could be so alike at times that it amused Harry and his other wives to no end.
When Alice informed him of the radiation spike that was consistent with dimensional phasing transportation Harry was distracted by the readings and therefore wasn't able to stop Teal'c in time before he fired his zat gun at the skull. Daniel disappeared and the energy spikes calmed down. Harry just sighed internally as he questioned why somebody would shoot a device that was a foot away from their friends head when it was powered up.
Harry used the life signs feature of his satellite and had it scan in the other ten natural dimensions. He found Daniel lying on the ground in front of him, apparently unconscious. Harry had Alice use her spell generator to focus an enervate on the dimension that the satellite told him Daniel was currently in phase with. When Daniel was awake Harry explained for the benefit of those who didn't share a mental link with him or have a computer watch that Daniel was in another dimension and that he should follow them back to earth.
Taking the skull with them the group made it back to earth. Harry had the rest of the team go pick up Daniel's grandpa Nick while he worked on the skull. The man's account could be helpful in figuring out what the skull normally did. While they were gone Harry discovered that the skull was made of liquid crystal nanites. It was designed to phase beings into a specific dimension. Placing the skull back where it was on the pedestal should fix the problem.
When the others got back with Nick he informed them that he could see and hear Daniel. They decided to head back to the planet with Nick so that he could translate for Daniel. This option made it so Harry didn't have to reveal more of his technology than he absolutely had too. It was one thing to be able to see the Retu when they could react with normal matter but quite another feat to be able to detect higher dimensions. He didn't want that information leaving Star for a long time yet.
It turned out that they met an energy being when they got to the other dimension that was an enemy of the Goauld. He selected Nick to stay and provide a cultural exchange. They all headed back to the SGC for a very well deserved rest.
A few weeks later SG-1 was on leave when Jack was transported out of the base before he could even leave by what Sam (who was talking to O'Neill when he was transported) assumed was an Asgard transporter. The pnet confirmed that it was indeed the Asgard Thor's ship. Harry prepared his new transport ship for action. There was an old Alteran designed transport that was designed to fit through the gate.
Harry had copied the design but with a few modifications. This ship which he named the puddle jumper had shields as well as the standard cloaking device for the design. It also featured a supply of drones that would match the complement of drones in the Antarctic outpost. It held the extra drones in a pocket dimension for calling when they were needed.
Another feature that it had that wasn't required for the normal model of this design was a hyperdrive. This model of ship was used in all of the Alteran cities but didn't usually have a hyperdrive because of its capabilities of traveling through stargates. It was mostly used for exploration and as a fighter in conjunction with the larger battleships.
The ship could generate an illusion field using what the Alteran's termed hard light so that Harry could hide the fact that it was an Alteran design. This feature took more power over larger volumes. This required the ship to be powered by a ZPM for full use of its capabilities. After the standard Alteran shields and the invisibility generator the ship had the ability to go out of phase. This feature should protect against anything but multiphase weaponry.
It wasn't long after that Jack contacted the SGC using a hologram. When he informed them of the situation with Thor's ship being overrun with mechanical bugs Harry's blood ran cold. It sounded like constructors. In order for constructors to be doing what Jack described somebody would have had to seriously alter their programming.
The constructor technology was developed over the period of about ten years by a team of Alteran scientists. They were designed to be resistant to most forms of energy attacks. They were built to overcome problems and challenges they were faced with. They were one of the most resilient pieces of technology the Alterans built. For this reason the safeties against harming living beings were immense.
No Alteran would have altered their programming without a team of others for fear of the replicators going out of control. There were ways to destroy them that the Alterans had created as a failsafe but using these techniques were way beyond earth technology. He would need to tread carefully in this situation.
Harry was banking on the fact that the Asgard had not been very successful in the usage of zpe. If this was the case then they wouldn't know how to detect variations in the zpe energy levels and would therefore not be able to shield against it.
Not only was the puddle jumper a modified design but so were the drone weapons. Harry had improved his circuit rune designs using the Alteran knowledge. Each drone, which was directed mentally by an Alteran controller, now had circuit runes that allowed it to be out of phase and invisible. Alteran shields were multiphase to protect against an object from another dimension bypassing them.
Harry had added a multiphase shield to the stargate iris since the Tollans attempted to walk through the old iris. Harry suspected they did it just to prove to earth that no matter what they did that Tollans would still be able to bypass their efforts (boy were they wrong). Luckily the Tollans were able to detect that their technology was ineffective against the iris so didn't try walking through the gate.
When Jack beamed up the weapons he had ordered to fight the metal bugs as he called them SG-1 was along for the ride. Jack wasn't experienced enough at the controls to know that they were hitching a ride. When they got aboard the ship Harry confirmed that they were constructors.
They made their way to where Jack and Thor were located. Jack was upset when he saw them but quickly got over it. Thor was in pretty bad shape so Harry quickly activated the stasis feature on the life pod he was in. Harry quickly scanned over the schematics of the ship.
The Asgard ship designs had obviously improved over the course of the few million years since they interacted with the Alterans. One of the improved features was the dampening field for explosions within the ship. This would make it next to impossible with conventional explosives to destroy the ship. The Asgard never felt the necessity for a self destruct mechanism.
Harry told the others to proceed to the airlock with Thor's pod. They knew to trust Harry's judgment in scenarios where they were over their heads with the local level of technology. Harry picked up the rear. They passed a lot of constructors on their way to the air lock but whatever modifications that were made to their programming seemed to direct them to not attack unless they were attacked first.
Just before they made it out of the airlock to the docked puddle jumper that was still cloaked Harry snapped up the nearest replicator in a portable time dilation field that would slow time to a near standstill. If given enough time the constructor would probably overcome the field. Harry had a field surrounding the time dilation field that would disrupt the bonds between the individual blocks. It was one of the fail safes the Alterans designed.
When the puddle jumper was safely away from the Belisinger, Thor's ship, Harry stopped and aimed the puddle jumper viewport to allow the ships' occupants to observe the constructor controlled ship. Harry activated five drone weapons and mentally controlled them to their targets.
The schematics told Harry that the Asgard vessel was controlled by five neutrino-ion generators. Without these generators the internal dampening fields wouldn't work. The out of phase drones traveled through the ship to the locations of the generators and phased back in right as they exploded. The entire ship went up in a massive explosion, the backlash of which washed across the puddle jumper's shields without effect (have to love zpm powered shields).
When everybody was safely back at the SGC they sent Thor's pod through the gate to one of the Asgard worlds in the Ida galaxy. Harry then went to his private lab at Star to start studying the data he had collected from this mission as well as the replicator before it figured out how to counter the time dilation field.
