Stargate Orion: Battle of the three galaxies

Part 1

Chapter 14: The Beating heart Of Atlantis

The scene start with merlin walking with weir , on the balcony of the new city , it look huge and the view is overwhelming.

Weir: this place is out of my imagination even, I did not expect your civilization would be so advanced , so back in time even.

Merlin: of course , we have existed from many millennia Dr, and believe it or not , we had our share in time displacement too , and rules to apply it , and we paid sometimes dear prices for that.

Weir: you will be amazed by our capabilities to overcome the problems; even now, we are calculating our meeting how will affect the future.

Merlin: it should be in a way that key events don't change, I had the data in your city transferred to my mind yesterday, and I am still grasping the memories.

Weir :Memories? You mean data.

Merlin: ah .. you do see Dr, Atlantis is not just a city . I had special hand in it design too , one of our marvelous creation. But the thing you see as data , is actually and integrated core , sensors, systems, …

Weir: just like a nervous system.

Merlin : and of course self aware.

Weir : the city is alive?

Merlin : pretty much , but it is related to our genetic presence and depend dearly on our interaction to function properly ,

Weir: the gene.

Merlin: yes, and once integrated the city can perform very admirably .

Weir: I did not think after all this time and time traveling to understand this .

Merlin : as far and advanced your kind is , you are still limited by the physical interaction of the data , transfer , and limitation of the physical reality.

Weir: that is why we could not ascend.

Merlin : I saw that incident in the past , may I

And he approach to put his hands on her head , and she let him. As he do that his hand glow , and weir appear to be grasping so much information and smiling .

Merlin: I have giving you a glance of what you lack to understand .

Weir : so much species. And galaxies.

Merlin : that is right . now let us get back to Atlantis I have things to show you.

As they get back to the city , as Merlin enter the city , he raise his hands, and a hologram appear next to him , a girl , from her look she is an ancient.

Merlin: hello Atlantis.

City : hello Merlin , been a long time.

Merlin : indeed old friend. Indeed.

City : you got my neuro connection ?

Merlin : in fact I did , and I am amazed how much effort you put to protect these people.

City : they have much potential . I have seen it .

Merlin : I have no doubt. How about we get you in shape?

City : it has been a long time since I was in full function.

Merlin : then let us get started.

City : I would require a link to the main core .

Merlin : raise his hands, and concentrate .

The city walls glow , as we see also from outside the city fire a beam directly to the center of the other big city and when it hit the main center building , the building glow and fire back a red beam that hit Atlantis.

Weir : Merlin what is happening , we are detecting an over flow of energy in all the city.

Merlin : do not be alarmed , we are exchanging information with the core of atlantis .

Personnel : the city capacitors are almost full , there is censors we don't know about are beginning to fire up and systems like no other are downloading into our main core.

Weir : what information , let me see.

Personnel : star maps , planets, civilizations, stargate addresses, weapons designs. Everything.

Weir : Merlin , why you are giving us all this ?

Personnel : the city walls are changing , we are seeing abnormalities to the city main shape .

Merlin: the city is evolving.

Weir: but why? You know it will change the future; I cannot begin to describe the probability of that.

Merlin: that city you was looking for in the future. It is not a new city, it is Atlantis.

Weir: what?

Merlin: as I told you we had our share of time traveling and we paid a lot o prices to keep it under wrap . We knew you would come, how you think we got the technology to build your kind in the future. We did not just discover it; we got it from you Elizabeth.

Weir: I … I.. Can't begin to grasp what is going on.

Merlin: let us make it short, we gave you all you need to continue your journey, the human race journey, we have been around here thousand of years Dr, we have visited countless number of galaxies, civilizations and Origins.

Weir: but what you will be in the future is not so welcoming.

Merlin : our future has been determined , and preset and we understand it better than you think , the dangers that we face and the errors that we make ,that is why this .. all this is happening now.

Weir : the ancients, knew ? I mean you knew we will come here , so you can give us all you can? But why? Why not give us when we ask?

Merlin: because everything need to happen the way it has to be , you coming here, we know and understand in the past , so your future will exist. Everything has been set up so to lead you here.

Weir : you set up ? countless lives where lost because you set up?

Merlin : that is the price we knew we will pay , and as I understand , I personally pay it too .

Weir: and now what ?

Merlin : it is up to you now , stay , or return and use all this to continue your journey .

Weir : we will need time to understand all this .

Merlin : time is not an issue now , take your time , learn , ask , and we will help and once you are ready let me know .

As we see weir approaching the city hologram , the city raise her hand and try to touch weir , as it happen weir smile , the exchange of data is immense it seem but this time we see weir changing too , her body seem to vibrate and glow , the rest of the team just stare and appear to receive the change too

At the end of the scene , Atlantis grow to be more big and different shape from before , the ZPM disappear , another power core appear in place , and it is charging.

As it ends, weir approach Merlin with the city hologram next to him.

Merlin : your power now comes directly from subspace , not physical capacitors, like the one you call ZPM.

Weir : I know . it mean

Merlin: you can use as much energy u want.

The city hologram smile , and look at weir.

City: we need to upgrade everything to be able to proceed to the next level,

The scene fades as the hologram and weir approach the command center, and the view is now getting out of the city showing the city glowing in some parts and parts emerging still. the parts are created from light.

As we see also the command of the ancients, as they look through a window very high to see what is happening to Atlantis.
