Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter or Stargate SG1 nor do I receive money for my writing.
A/N Thank you for all the reviews. Those of you that complain about plot holes. You really should wait a couple chapters before complaining. I am aware of the holes I leave, they are intentional for the most part. This Chapter ends Season 2 and starts season 3 of Stargate. Because of some of the things I have changed and done, some Stargate main plot episodes will not take place going forward. So if I skip your favorite Stargate episode its because it never happens or I just don't like it.
I am still evolving my writing style, so those of you that review saying I don't have enough description or show enough emotion in my story, thank you. I like creative criticism, it helps me become a better writer. I know I was better at some things in my other story. This is my first crossover and I am having trouble capturing SG1 personalities.
As we go forward SG1, Earth, and the Alterans (Harry) will become more involved. That doesn't mean I'll be giving Earth ships or Alteran tech. You'll all just have to wait and see. As for Harry using Magic, he uses it all the time. A lot of what he does personally, he isn't using tech. I'm just not going to spell out every spell he uses. He's moved more to intent based magic and only uses the knowledge he gained from the repository when intent alone doesn't work.
Thank you all. Next chapter will be in a couple weeks since I am doing a pirate event this coming weekend.
Chapter 21 - Hathor
"Major Davis, we need more resources, I want to set up three more SG teams. With everything going on lately we could use them."
"Sir…" Before Davis could reply the door to Hammond's office burst open.
"Sir!" Colonel Makepeace soluted the General.
"Colonel Makepeace, I'm sure you remember Major Davis." Hammond replied with a bit of annoyance in his voice for the Colonel barging in on the meeting.
"Yes, sir, I apologize. When scouting 254, sir, we came across a member of the Tok'ra. They told us the location of SG-1."
"Where are they, Colonel?" Hammond asked quickly.
"They've been taken prisoner, sir…by Hathor." Makepeace replied.
"Major Davis you're dismissed. Colonel Makepeace get all available SG teams ready. Dismissed."
After the two men left his office, Hammond turned to his desk. He hadn't heard anything from the Alterans since the incident with the shooting of the High Councilor but Hammond figured this was important enough to call them. Sg1 knew more about the Alterans than any of the other Sg teams combined.
While everyone in Stargate Command knew about the Alterans, Sg1 and he had the most knowledge and information on them. Sg1 in the hands of a Goa'uld was not a good thing for Earth or the Alterans. If the Goa'uld found out that there were descendants of the Alterans on Earth, they would stop at nothing to get at them or destroy Earth trying.
Hammond picked up the stone that was on his desk that everyone thought was a simple paperweight and it started to glow.

Navo Videeum, Moon Cove
Harry and the girls were enjoying some peace and quiet away from the city since they were all a little worn out. Hermione with the help of Heimdall of the Asgard had finally found a way to reverse the genetic problem the Asgard were facing. The solution wasn't going to be easy or quick.
They were going to do one more cloning but this time the clones would have DNA from before the Asgard started using clones.
With the several hundred Asgard DNA samples the Alterans had on file, they were going to be able to create enough genetic variation to create enough clones for about three quarters of the Asgard population without any problems of familial DNA issues. They would create clones for the remaining Asgard as well and make sure that they didn't have familial relations with clones of the same DNA.
This would be the last clone generation for the Asgard. All of the current Asgard would get new bodies then finally grow old in those and pass normally while being able to procreate and raise the next generation Asgard. Thor had volunteered to get the first new body along with Heimdall.
As for the Replicators, Harry, Aliya, and Thor were still working on it. Without the ability to study a live Replicator they were hampered in coming up with a solution. They weren't even willing to get there hands on one Replicator block for study in fear that it would somehow absorb Alteran tech and become completely unstoppable.
In this case Harry was being overly paranoid about it. The new Alteran race was just starting, it wasn't even technically on its feet yet. They still had another year before the next recruitment would start. Harry really didn't want another major issue on his plate, and the Replicators could become that if they got their little bug claws on Alteran technology.
The problem was that the Replicators could adapt very quickly to anything that was thrown at them. They needed a solution that would take them all out at once. One temporary solution on the table was for the Asgard to find a new homeworld in the Milky Way and abandon the Ida Galaxy to the Replicators. Then once they had a solution they could return and wipe them out completely.
The problem with this solution was they didn't know if the Replicators would follow them to the Milky Way. There was just no way of knowing. They were still working on the plan though.
The Jaffa, Hermione was still working on it. The problem there was that it was some bastardize Alteran DNA manipulation that created them so it was harder to reverse it. She had ideas but so far the only way would be to bread the Jaffa out of the Jaffa.
Luna was back to her old self, mostly, currently she was laying naked on the beach next to Harry while Hermione and Aliya played around in the water. Luna was still upset with Earth however.
Whoever had put the imperius curse on Colonel Cromwell was going to regret it in the most severe way Luna could come up with. Some of her ideas were even scarring Harry and the other two girls.
The idea of strapping a time dilation device on a person and then dropping them in a volcano, so the person would slowly, over the course of many many many days sink into the lava, was her most current idea. She had even thought of just throwing them into a black hole, which if you knew anything about spaghettification and time relativity, well none of them wanted to think about it.
In Luna's mind the people that had caused Harry to get shot were worse than the Goa'uld. Harry had even had to talk her out of just blowing the Earth up and calling it good. They still didn't know who was behind the attack even though they had the person's magical signature, it wasn't enough even for the scanners at the outpost.
Back when Rose helped Harry with the Death Eaters and He-Who-Is-Now-Dead. The scanners had something to track directly. All of the Dark Marks were linked to Voldemort's soul, hence Rose was capable of back tracking everyone that had the Mark and the other soul containers, this had all happened while they had Snape in their custody. It also helped that she was only looking in Great Britain.
With just a single energy signature reference it would take months, even years to scan every single magical on the planet. Yes they had a starting point, somewhere around Cheyenne Mountain, but magicals could travel around the world pretty easily. Rose had scanned the area around the mountain but had come up empty.
She was now though keeping a scanner locked on that area. If that magical signature popped up, she was going to mark and track them.
Albus made a few inquiries with a friend in the Magical Congress in the United States since the imperius was cast in the United States. He hadn't heard anything back from his friend yet however so they were at a stand still. Harry was sure whoever it was would try again and hopefully make a mistake. He wasn't willing to commit a lot of resources to it yet, they had bigger fish, or snakes, to fry.
"Harry, when are you going to ask us to marry you? I really want to finally play with a Crumple-Horned Snorkack."
"Luna!" Hermione yelled from where her and Aliya were walking up to the blankets.
"What?" Luna looked at Hermione. "You've been thinking the exact same thing." Luna then looked at Aliya. "Aliya's only holding back because of me and you, Hermione."
Hermione stared at Luna for a moment, her eyes then shifted to Harry's lower body. Aliya just started smirking. Harry was just as naked as they were and it was quite obvious that Luna's comments were starting to have an effect on him, he looked ready to make a run for the water or to just apparate there.
Harry didn't run though, he closed his eyes for a second to control himself then looked at Luna. "You Little Moon… are incorrigible." Harry smiled. "You're right though, it is about time I did something about the four of us." Harry sent a command to Olympus mentally and there was a small flash of light.
"Girls." Harry got up off his towel, it transfiguring into a pair of shorts around his waist as he did. Now that Luna's birthday had passed, everyone was of age in Harry's mind. "I've been waiting for things to calm down a bit but I don't see that happening anytime soon. It took me a while to wrap my head around all of this relationship stuff. I know that doesn't sound romantic but you all know me. I was and in some ways, still am a clueless boy that doesn't alway understand any of this." Harry stopped and took a deep breath.
"I do know this much, I wouldn't be here, in this place, without you, Hermione and Luna. Aliya you joined us later but you, you are no less important to me than Hermione or Luna are. The three of you… complete me."
Harry got down on one knee in front of the girls. "Would the three of you, Hermione, Luna, Aliya be my wives?"
All three girls dropped down onto their knees in front of Harry as they all yelled out "Yes!" at the same time.
Harry then held up his hand. In it were three rings. They were all made of a combination of trinium, naquadah, and gold, it was a combination that Harry had come up with. The ring he gave Hermione had a single heart shaped three carat chocolate diamond that matched her eyes. Hermione immediately accepted it onto her finger.
Luna's ring had a moon shaped three carat pure white diamond, which she allowed him to place on her finger. The final ring, Aliya's, had something none of the girls had seen before. It was clear and the same size as the diamond, but it had a glow to it, a twinkle that came from deep within it. "What is the stone, Harry?" Aliya asked.
"I wasn't sure what stone to get you, being full Alteran, and... well, from the time of the last Alterans. I wanted it to be something very special to you, unlike the diamonds on Luna's and Hermione's rings. This stone was carved from the main power crystal, from the very first Astria Porta created by the Alterans."
Aliya gasped. It wasn't that the stone in her ring was actually worth anything, not by Earth gemstone standards, it was that it was a part of her people's legacy, it was priceless to her. She lunged at Harry and started kissing him and they didn't come for air for several minutes. Hermione was next and to Aliya and Luna's amusement she took even longer kissing Harry.
When it was Luna's turn, she jumped into Harry's lap and wiggled her naked butt around on him while she kissed him.
A few minutes later while the three talked about when to have the wedding, there was a ping on the neuronet for Harry. -'High Councilor, we have an emergency call for you from General Hammond at the SGC."
Harry got a sour look on his face and the girls saw it. "Hammond is calling with an emergency." Harry told them.
Luna was the one to respond as her eyes actually started glowing. "We just got engaged! You are not! going anywhere. Especially not there. Tell them to piss off or have Dan handle it." The way Luna said that sent shivers down Harry, Hermione, and Aliya's spines.
-"John, tell Hammond that I am indisposed and that he can talk to Dan."-

Hammond's Office, SGC
General Hammond after making the initial contact with the Alterans, had been, basically, put on hold. He was just happy that hey didn't have any rotten hold music like he had to put up with when on hold for the President. He planned to call the President immediately after this and tell him what was going on.
"General Hammond, this is Councilor Granger, the High Councilor is not currently available. What can I do for you?" Dan asked over the communicator stone.
"Councilor, SG1 has been captured by a Goa'uld name Hathor. We just received this information via a Tok'ra operative SG3 ran into. We are preparing a rescue mission but since SG1 has the most information about your race, I felt the High Councilor should be made aware of the situation."
"Thank you General. Give me a moment." The line went silent again.
-oo00oo-
Moon Cove
-*Harry, SG1 has been captured by a Goa'uld named Hathor. They know a lot about us...*-
It wasn't Harry that answered, it was Luna. -*Dan, deal! with it, Harry is busy. He's not going near the SGC.*-
Dan could tell that he wasn't going to get near Harry for this, not with Luna still upset. -*How would you like me to proceed Luna?*-
-*Blow up the planet, rescue them, I don't care, as long as Harry isn't pulled into it…*- Luna replied. -*Now can I get back to kissing my fiancê.*-
Now Dan knew why Harry wasn't available. He'd make sure to spread that information around. Right now though he had an idea about how to deal with the problem at the SGC.
-*Have fun Luna.*- Dan replied then closed the link with a chuckle. 'Lucky kid, wait, that means Hermione…' Dan stopped that thought before it started, he did not need to know what they were getting up to.
-oo00oo-
Hammond's Office
It was another couple minutes before Dan replied to Hammond. "General, you are planning a ground rescue mission?"
"That's correct Councilor." Hammond replied. He hoped he didn't have to send in troops but would if the Alterans couldn't help.
"General Hammond like I said, the High Councilor is not available…" Dan started.
"I understand, after what happened…" Hammond had a feeling this is what they would say after what had happened but Dan cut him off.
"You misunderstand General. The High Councilor is busy, I am not." 'I also need something to keep my mind off of what my daughter and Harry could be doing right now, thank you very much.'
"We have been giving the Goa'uld System Lords... a headache here and there. Hathor is not a System Lord any longer, so she has not been a priority to us." Dan paused as he was also giving out mental commands while talking to the General.
"I assume she is now a priority?" Hammond asked during the pause.
"Yes, because of the knowledge SG1 and specifically Colonel O'Neill has. When will your troops be ready to go?"
"Not for a couple hours." Hammond replied.
"I will see you in ninety minutes General Hammond." Before Hammond could reply the stone stopped glowing. Hammond after contemplating what had just happened turned to his desk, put down the stone and then picked up the receiver on the red phone.

Olympus, Nineteenth Floor
Dan appeared on the nineteenth floor of the central tower and looked around. He nodded to the two guards there and one of the Tok'ra that was passing by. He hadn't spent a lot of time here since this was Aliya and Felicia/Jolinar's territory. He knew Aliya was with Harry so he walked into the main office and looked around.
He spotted who he was looking for and walked over to the man. "Jacob/Selmak, how are you both doing?" He greated.
Besides Jolinar, Selmak was the only other Tok'ra allowed within the rest of the city. He even had his own apartment in one of the other towers. Somehow Jacob had gained Harry's trust and Dan wasn't going to question it. He still had Jacob scanned every time he entered and left the city though.
"We're doing good Dan. What can I help you with?" It was jacob in control at the moment.
"I know you don't have to give us or me any information about Tok'ra operations that didn't involve information gathered via the satellites, per the agreement we have. I just wanted to know if you have someone in Hathor's camp?"
"It's ok Dan. We get so much information from being allowed to use the satellites, the Tok'ra council authorized me to give you anything you want. We do have an operative in with Hathor. Why the interest?"
"It seems SG1 has fallen into her hands. Your operative somehow got information to the SGC. I'm just surprised you, and then through you, that we didn't hear about it sooner."
"You're telling me is the first I've heard of it. Martouf…" Jacob called out. "Check the satellite over Hathor, she has SG1." Jacob then turned back to Dan. "I take it you're going after them?"
"Yes. I have a plan." Dan replied.
"I'd like to go with you. It would be nice to see Hathor obliterated from space and see Sam again." Jacob smiled, he wasn't worried if Dan and Harry were going after them, he had seen first hand what the Alterans could do. If anything he was afraid for Hathor, she just didn't know what was coming.
Dan smiled at him. "Not this time Jacob. I'll make sure to give Sam your love though."
Martouf walked up at this point with a PADD in his hand. "This is everything the satellite has, Full layout and live intel. She has a pretty powerful shield over the place. There's also a photo of the Tok'ra operative in the file."
"Thank you Martouf, how are things going with Jolinar?" Dan asked curiously.
Martouf lowered his head for a moment, when he looked up again his eyes flashed. "Very slowly. Jolinar and I spend quite a bit of time together. Because of Felicia's age though, we do not get physical beyond holding each other." Lantash replied in the gruff Tok'ra voice. "I do believe Martouf and Felicia will be together as well, when she comes of age." Lantash continued.
"That's good to hear Lantash. I know Harry hoped for that outcome but was worried for Felicia. I know Felicia's parents like you both." Dan looked down at the PADD in his hand for a moment. "Thank you for the information. We will secure the Tok're operative as well. I think Luna's going to get a new addition to the Tank of the Gods."

Control Room, SGC
Hammond was in the Stargate control room watching as Colonel Makepeace got SG teams three, five, six, eleven, and twenty three ready to go. Twenty three was Colonel Cromwell's new team and when he found out that SG1 was captured, he insisted on joining the rescue, even though his team was still in training.
As Hammond watched them he looked up at the time. It was just now ninety minutes since he had spoken to Councilor Granger. The Councilor giving Hammond his last name did prove that it was the Grangers from Britain. It wasn't a surprise, getting confirmation though was.
He was expecting the man to appear in the control room next to him, like Harry normally appeared.
He looked back down into the gate room just as the first chevron on the gate lit up and the base alarm sounded. The technician at the controls pulled the console microphone toward himself. "Off world activation. Incoming wormhole. Security teams to the gate room."
Hammond didn't think he need to call for the security teams with five SG teams already in gateroom with their gear. "Close the Iris." Hammond ordered as he watched the teams ready their weapons and even more security forces enter.
"Sir, the Iris, it won't close." The sergeant at the controls informed him as the gate activated and the wormhole stabilized.
Hammond looked down at the technician. "Get it closed."
"I'm trying sir. It's like all those other times those Alterans come by gate. I can't get it closed."
Hearing that Hammond grabbed the microphone. "Hold all fire. No one fires except on my orders. Safeties on." He called down into the gate room.
Just after he gave the order a person stepped out of the event horizon of the gate. Hammond recognised him from the day the High Councilor had been shot, it was Councilor Granger.
He was in what the SGC had started calling a chrome suit since they didn't know what it was made of or what it could do. Dan's helmet was down and Hammond could see him look around at all the weapons pointed at him but there was no sign of worry on his face.
The man took two steps forward and came to something like a commander's parade rest. He then looked up into the control room. "General Hammond. Permission for myself and my team to enter the SGC?"
Since the gate didn't shut down after Dan came through, Hammond figured there were others waiting to come through the gate. He wasn't going to just call down to the gate room to give permission, this needed to be done in person. Hammond left the control room and a moment later enter the gate room.
"All personnel, stand down." He called out as he entered and walked to the bottom of the gate ramp with about two paces between it and himself. This was only the second time he had dealt with this man, so as he walked over to the ramp he was observing him.
This guy was definitely military, he could tell by the councilor's posture, he was relaxed but you could tell he was ready for action if he needed it. From what he knew of the man's Earth military file he was also a very dangerous man.
"Councilor, you said your team?"
"Yes General. I didn't want to bring them through all at once. It would be inappropriate and could have looked like an invasion."
"How many are we talking about?"
"Three of what you call squads. Eighteen total."
"I don't understand Councilor, I assumed you would just go by ship?" Hammond responded.
"That's… the High Councilors domain if you will. He is the fleet Supreme Commander. I am the Councilor of Defence and hold the rank of general. I command the ground forces."
"You're planning on going in on foot?" Hammond looked surprised.
"My personnel need... some field time." Dan grinned. "Since Hathor is not a System Lord and has limited personnel, I decided this would be a good opportunity for that. Do I have your permission to bring them through. Consider this a joint operation. Mutual interests."
Hammond took a moment to respond. He looked over at Colonel Makepeace, who nodded to him. It looked like the Colonel was of the same mind as he was. This was a chance to see what Alteran troops could do.
"Permission granted." Hammond responded with an air of authority. He knew if the Councilor and his people tried anything, he had a lot of personnel behind him to hold them off, if that was even possible.
"Thank you General." Dan then walked down the ramp toward General Hammond. He stopped just at the base, about two paces away from the General. As he reached that spot the gate behind him shut down.
Hammond had watched the gate but no one else had come through. Dan's tone then changed as he called out an order over his shoulder. "Company, De-Cloak!"
Hammond and everyone in the room took a step back, a few people even started to raise their weapons but stopped as eighteen people, in three columns of six each, all in chrome suits, with helmets up, and weapons held at the ready but not pointed at anyone, appeared standing on the ramp behind Dan.
"Company, Rest." Dan called back over his shoulder. All eighteen men and women, in perfect unison, dropped their rifles to their sides in two hand moves and then went to parade rest.
Dan then addressed Hammond again. He could tell he had everyone in the room on edge and he was smiling on the inside. He had noticed Cromwell in the room and wanted to make an impression. "General, I have target intelligence to share with you and your commanders."
Hearing that Hammond snapped out of his surprise. They had come through the gate and the event horizon hadn't even rippled.
"Right this way Councilor. Colonel Makepeace, you and the team commanders."
-oo00oo-
Gate room, twenty minutes later.
Dan had shown Hammond and his commanders the intel he had via a holographic crystal display. He explained that it was real time intel from a satellite in orbit of the planet.
When Colonel Makepeace asked why the Alterans even wanted the SG teams to go in as well, because it sure didn't look like they needed the help. Dan explained they had two other objectives beyond rescuing SG-1. They wanted Hathor alive and as many Jaffa alive as well. They were also going in to extract the Tok'ra operative.
It was decided that Dan and his people would take care of Hathor and the Tok'ra. The SG teams would be responsible for getting SG-1.
"Ok people, things just got a bit easier but more complicated." Hammond addressed his people. "That doesn't mean you let your guard down. SG teams three, five, six, eleven, and twenty three you have a go."
Hammond then turned to look at Dan who appeared to just be standing at the foot of the gate facing his people. After a minute he turned around to face Hammond. "My people are ready."
Dan then turned to Colonel Makepeace since he was in overall command of the SG teams. "Colonel, " Dan pulled a small crystal looking device from a pouch on his belt. "Take this, place it behind your ear. You will be able to listen in and talk on our network."
Makepeace stepped up and took the small device. When he moved it behind his ear, he felt it attach to his skin. As soon as it attached he started hearing Dan talking. -"First squad, shield generator, second squad with me, third squad, gate cover."- When he looked at Dan, his mouth wasn't moving but he could still hear him.
"General, is this a mental link?" Makepeace addressed Dan.
"Yes Colonel, it is, we call it the neuronet. Just direct your thoughts to me and I will hear you." Dan replied.
"General, I don't see one behind your ear?" Makepeace questioned him.
"They are built into our suits, Colonel."
-"Thirty seconds, Cloak"-
Makepeace heard that and saw all the Alterans do an about face and bring their weapons up to a ready to fire position, then disappear. "Thirty Seconds." He shouted out to his own people. The Sg teams all got their weapons ready and into the order they were going to enter the gate.
"General Hammond." Dan addressed with a nod then he turned around. He pulled another crystal from his belt and started counting down in his head from twenty. His helmet also came up out of his suit.
-"Ten"-
"Ten seconds" He heard Makepeace call out. Dan then raised the crystal toward the gate.
-"Five"- When he reached three seconds in his head, Dan waved the crystal at the gate. Instantly a stable event horizon formed in the gate. -"Go Go Go"- Dan cloaked himself as he ran up the ramp to the gate.
"Go Go Go" He heard Makepeace behind him.
-oo00oo-
Hathor's planet
Dan stepped onto Hathor's planet and looked around. His heads up display didn't show any immediate danger or targets within a kilometer of the gate. His tactical display showed that first squad was already moving toward the pyramid on a predefined route to take control of the shield generator. The team was being lead by Captain Kevlov so he knew it would be accomplished without issue.
All of his teams had been training for months. With Harry's permission they had built a replica of a basic Goa'uld fortress pyramid on one of the other continents of Navo Altera and used it for ground assault training. They used holograms of Jaffa and Goa'uld as targets inside the training area.
Second squad was waiting for him at the foot of the gate platform and holding a defencive perimeter. Third squad was already setting out defensive positions around the gate while one of them disabled the transport rings hidden within the gate platform.
Dan instructed his team to move forward ten meters and hold there while he waited for the Sg teams to come through. Dan de-cloaked at the base of the platform and waited. He didn't have to wait long for the Sg teams to come pouring out of the gate, Makepeace being the first one to appear.
-"Colonel Makepeace. Alteran third squad is setting up around the gate, we are disabling the ring transporter that's in the platform. They are also setting up a cloaking field, a duck blind, for the men you are leaving here."-
Makepeace looked around the gate, weapon at the ready. He saw Dan crouching down at the base of the platform and then three others Alterans appeared nearby. "Twenty three, you have the gate." He pointed to the three Alterans that had appeared. "They've set up duck blinds for us. Go with them."
The third squad was being led by Captain Rachel. She was a fighter pilot back in the day for the US Navy but she had some ground training as well. She was weakest in ground operations though, hence why she was in charge of gate security. She had Remus and Tonks on her team as well. Even though they were still officially in training, they had magic which none of the other forces had. It was an ace in the hole if it came to it.
Makepeace quickly walked down the to the edge of the platform where Dan was crouched down and crouched down next to him. "General?"
Dan held his hand out in front of him, palm up, and a small hologram appeared over it. "I have a squad already heading in to take care of the shield generator. Once they have it under their control they will hold it until everything is clear." Makepeace could see in the hologram the six man team moving through the forest toward the pyramid at a very rapid pace. He could also see another team about ten meters out in defensive positions, waiting.
"Colonel, I suggest you take your men over this route." A navigation line appeared with several navigation points in the hologram showing the route Dan was suggesting. "Don't worry about friendly fire, our shields will prevent your weapons from harming us."
"Then how did…"
"The High Councilor's shield was already protecting him from the discharge of the gate. It didn't have enough power to stop all three rounds as well." Dan explained.
"What about Goa'uld weapons?' Makepeace asked.
"No need to worry Colonel." Dan grinned at him. "Are your people ready?"
Makepeace looked around him and noted all his people were ready. The commanders of five, six, and eleven were actually crouched down behind him and Dan listening in. "You heard the General, that's our route. Move out. See you soon General." Makepeace then headed off with his team.
-"Second Squad, move out."- Dan ordered as he cloaked and ran to catch up with them.
-oo00oo-
Dan moved with his team toward the pyramid on the route the computer in their suits determined was best for them but separate from the one being used by the Sg teams. Their objective was Hathor and the Tok're operative after all. The feed from the satellites showed where they were in the pyramid via the heads up displays.
As they moved closer the satellite flashed a warning that another Goa'uld was in the pyramid but not yet blended, it was however in close proximity to the members of Sg1, Hathor, and the Tok'ra.
Dan used the link to warn the Sg team. -"Makepeace, intel is showing an unblended Goa'uld in the room with Sg1. One of them is about to become compromised. Use extreme caution."-
-"Understo..d"- Makepeace's reply was broken up. Dan expected this to happen since this was the first time the man was using the neurolink.
Dan and his team moved into the pyramid without any resistance. All of their weapons were set to stun and at the ready. By the time they got to this point, his heads up display was showing that several Jaffa were escorting two members of Sg1 away from the room.
The unblended Goa'uld was now in one of the Sg1 members. The only thing he could tell was that it wasn't Captain Carter. The group of Jaffa and Sg1 were heading in the direction of the SG team. They weren't his concern so he and his team moved on toward where Hathor was.
She was currently outside and moving away from the room with four of her Jaffa guards. Through the heads up display he had three of his team break of in the direction of the Tok'ra and the last Sg1 member.
-"Generator secure, no resistance."- came over the link from Kevlov.
Dan didn't reply as there was no need to. It was at that point that the gunfire started. His hud showed that the Sg teams were fighting the Jaffa that were escorting Sg1. His hud also showed that Hathor and her guard had stopped moving, most likely because of the gun and staff weapons fire.
Both Hathor and her guard were just around the next corner so Dan and the three remaining members of his team quickly moved in that direction. They rounded the corner, still cloaked, his target, Hathor was standing three meters away giving orders to her guard. He mentally chose her as his target in the heads up display and saw the guards get targeted by his team.
A second later four blue bolts of energy flew down the corridor with a fifth following a half second later targeting the fourth Jaffa. The first four bolts reached their targets, even though Hathor had seen them coming at the last second and started reaching for the button to activate her personal shield, she wasn't fast enough and dropped to the floor along with her guards.
-"Move forward."- Dan ordered his team.
Dan took the led as they approached the five bodies on the floor. As they approached, each member of his team, including himself pulled a small flat but contoured crystal from their belts. Dan and two of his men then moved closer while the last man stayed back to provide cover. Dan knelt down next to Hathor and place the crystal on her forehead.
The crystal would keep her and the symbiote in a coma like state until they could be transported. Now that he had the chance, Dan looked closely at her. Hathor's host was very beautiful and he hoped that she could be saved. It wasn't likely though since she was several centuries old, like Apophis' host had been.
The rest of his team had placed the same crystals on the foreheads of the Jaffa and were relieving them of their weapons. Dan removed Hathor's hand device and the device she had around her waist, those two being the obvious ones. He then scanned her and found two other devices which he also removed.
-"Carter and Jackso.. are secu..e. O'Neill is reported to be compr..mised. I have three injured."- Came the calm but choppy voice of Colonel Makepeace.
-"Acknowledged. Medic on the way."- Dan replied. Dan then turned to the squad medic on his team. "Pelgrass, head over to the Sg team location and see what you can do." The man acknowledge Dan and took off in their direction.
-"General, we have the Tok'ra operative. Colonel O'Neill is in some kind of cryo bath. The Tok'ra operative is telling me that it will kill the Goa'uld that was placed in him. Thirty minutes required."- This came from the three man team Dan had sent to get the Tok'ra.
-"Team One, begin a sweep of the pyramid,"- With Hathor and what looked like her First Prime secure, he didn't think first squad would need to guard the shield generator any longer. -"Capture only. Team three, Medic and guard to Colonel O'Neill's location. Double time it."-
Dan was broadcasting this all on the open channel so that Makepeace could her him. Dan and the two men still with him stayed cloaked and remained guard over Hathor. He didn't want a stray Jaffa to find them, though he didn't see any in the immediate area on his scanners.

Stargate, Hathor's planet
Dan stood watching as the last of his teams arrived with unconscious Jaffa floating behind them on anti-grav field stretchers. He was very proud of his teams, forty eight Jaffa had been captured, while six had been killed by the SG teams.
His people had performed extremely well and without any injuries on their part. They would hold an after action briefing once they returned to Olympus to go over what they could do better. If this had been a System Lords fortress, there would have been a lot more Jaffa around not to mention human slaves.
Hathor was being taken directly to the city and removed from her host, well after getting all the information they could out of her anyway. The Jaffa were going to be taken elsewhere where they could be confined and still allow Hermione access to them for research into reversing the Jaffa DNA conditioning.
Dan was even thinking of asking the SGC if he could borrow Teal'c to try to convert these Jaffa. He knew of Teal'c's desire to free his people and the very infantile stage Teal'c resistance forces were at. As he stood there thinking about that, he wondered where Teal'c was for all of this. He hadn't been at the SGC. He'd ask General Hammond about it later.
Colonel O'Neill had been successfully removed from the cryo tank. The Goa'uld that had been placed in him hadn't had enough time to properly blend with him and had died. He and the rest of Sg1 were currently sitting at the the base of the gate platform with one of his medics still going over them.
Two of the three Sg personnel injured in the fight with the Jaffa where lying on stretchers being looked after by the Sg team medic. Pelgrass had reported to him that they would be fine in a few days. The third Sg team member had died before Pelgrass was able to get to him. Over all it could have been much much worse if the SGC had gone at this alone.
The Tok're agent was going to be going back with Dan. Selmak would bring her up to speed on the Tok'ra/Alteran agreement and put her to work in the tower. She wouldn't be allowed to be a field agent any longer.
Dan was still the only person on his team to lower his helmet. He didn't want to take the chance of any of the Sg team members recognizing anyone from Olympus as being prior United States or any other countries military.
As he stood there thinking about all of this Makepeace had walked over to him. The man smiled at him. "General Granger. I want to thank you for what you and the Alterans did today."
"We had parallel goals Colonel. No thanks are necessary. I will be returning with you to the SGC if you don't mind. I'd like to give General Hammond an after action report since this was a joint operation."
"I think he would like that. What about all of them." Makepeace indicated the Jaffa.
"They will be taken care of." Dan then turned around and looked at Hathor's pyramid in the distance. "By the way. Happy Birthday."
Makepeace looked in the same direction but got a confused look on his face. "It's not my birthday."
"No?" Dan stated. "Then I guess you don't want the present."
"What present?" Makepeace asked, confused.
"A completely cleared out Goa'uld fortress pyramid." Dan stated matter of factly. "I would suggest securing this stargate with one of those irises you guys use. Another Goa'uld will eventually want it for themselves and come looking. If they come by ship, well, this place has a very powerful shield." Dan was grinning at the shocked face of the Colonel. Dan then continued.
"It's not our technology so we don't want it."

Unknown Location, four hours later
"His people were at the SGC, but he, nor any of the other targets were present." The man spoke from a kneeling position in the center of the room.
"Can we get someone on the inside?" Another man spoke from the shadowed corner.
"It may be possible." The kneeling man spoke.
"Use someone that has no information about us." Another man spoke from one of the other shadowed corners.
"If we get someone in and they go through that gateway... there will be no way for them to return or communicate with us." Advised the man from his kneeling position. Neither of the other two men in the room spoke for a few moments.
"It is not yet ready." Spoke the second shadowed person.
"We will wait until it is. We do not want them to become overly suspicious."

Dan returned to Olympus an hour after going to the SGC. He had played back the entire operation via a holographic display to General Hammond and gave his thoughts on how the Sg teams did. He hadn't needed to do any of this except he knew Harry wanted to have better relations with the SGC and through them Earth in general.
Harry knew that the Stargate program would have to be divulged sooner or later and when it was, he wanted to be on good terms with Earth, or rather he wanted Earth on good terms with the Alterans so he was giving them opportunities to do that.
Harry and the girls hadn't returned from their little getaway by the time he got back, so he planned to report everything when Harry did return. Hathor was currently in a holding cell, completely awake and screaming her head off, no one was listening. Harry would deal with her later.
Kevlov had escorted the Tok'ra operative to the tower and left her in Selmak's hands. He'd let Aliya know she had a new Tok'ra employed later. Dan was hopeful that they would have a few quiet days so Harry and the girls could enjoy their new level of relationship. He was still Hermione's father though and didn't want to think about what they could be up to.
Speaking of their new level of relationship, Dan opened a channel on the Olympus wide link, excluding Harry and the girls. -"Harry popped the question. They accepted."- That was all he needed to say… He did wonder though who won the betting pool.
