Hi, this one is going to be a short chapter, I just wanted to put it out to all who have been reading this. Sorry it has taken so long to get another one out. I am having difficulty writing now.

Chapter 52

While this is going on a full council meeting is called by Jack O'Neill this must include his extremely pregnant wife Samantha who will attend via video conference, Gen. Brewster is recalled from Pegasus. The Asgard council is asked to attend while their sphere is being repaired. Penegal, Aegir, Hermiod, Freyr, Heimdall, Kvasir and Thor. An Asgard vessel has found the Vanir in Pegasus Galaxy. The Vanir leader Agnar is also in attendance.

This meeting is so important Jack invites Teal'c and Bra'tac of the Free Jaffa, Narim High Councilor of the Tollan, Edoran councilor Laira and her son Garran, The Tok'ra Queen Egeria/Se'ria, Sam's Father Jacob Carter/Selmak. From the Pegasus Galaxy representatives of the Athosians their leader Halling and his now full grown son who is their military leader Jinto, Genii Leader Ladon Radim, Council Woman Larrin of the Travelers, Mara who is the leader of Eldred's planet and even The Coalition of planets from the Pegasus galaxy are in on this meeting. This meeting has become a who's who of the universe.

Jack happy so many could show up to this meeting and yet sad for the reason it is necessary to have it.

"This meeting is to inform you the Wraith have taken over an Ancient outpost world. According to recently attained information from a world we here on Elliot's world have found in the Pegasus Galaxy and brought to a system close by this outpost planet is named Evin and is where the Ancients grew many of their Zpm modules, also where they built their city/ships."

A bedlam of shouting started accusing the human on Elliot's world for withholding information from all in attendance and saying that the council of this world is guilty of causing the wraith's further rise in power. Interrupting Jack while he is trying to explain what is going on at this point he is getting real mad.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

"Jack you cannot talk to them like that."

"Sam, I do not care what they think at this point! I think you should let me handle this meeting please go take a nap instead of trying to attend this train wreck."

O'Neill realizes he has to be careful of what is said to his very pregnant wife her due date is less than two weeks away. Sam is not happy with her husband at this point and it is showing on her face. All Jack can think is:

"OH SHIT, I did it again she is pissed off."

"Sam PLEASE, let me handle this you cannot get upset now think of the babies you are carrying!"

"Ok Jack, you win. Elliot, I want a recording of these proceedings sent to me after it is all over."

Henry Hayes decides to take over before the temporary Governor makes a mess of it all.

"Please settle down, we are trying to explain what happened."

Ten minutes later the commotion stops.

"Thank you, Now as Governor O'Neill was trying to say we had nothing to do with what went on in Evin's solar system. We just found it less than five days ago. As it is we have lost over five thousand of our people and two thousand are still injured some are not expected to survive trying to fight the Wraith in that system."

"Councilor Hayes, I request to be allowed to continue talking about this situation that is on the main agenda for today's meeting. Very well Governor O'Neill, but I must warn you against any further outbursts."

"Gathered councilors, I am a military man not a politician therefore I believe in speaking plainly with no flowery words. We did not create the problem on Evin; it was already overrun by the Wraith. This group of worlds you have seen around you in our system Elliot are fighting on several fronts trying to contain several groups from taking over both galaxies. Some are human like the criminals called the Lucian alliance and what is leftover of the Goa'uld. For those who do not know what a Goa'uld is they are a parasitic race that takes over human bodies. Then there is the Wraith they are evil space vampires who suck the life out of our kind using their hands. Elliot, please show the diagrams of what I am talking about."

Several different slide and pictures are seen on a screen above Jack with explanations' of what he means

"Thor, after this meeting I would like to discuss our military strategy with you. In order for us to defeat the Wraith we will need a hell of a lot more raw Naqahdah and Trinium for ships. We ask that the peoples of the worlds invited here help in the acquisition of materials in fighting the Wraith."

Larrin from the travelers stands up asking for a few minutes.

"How are we supposed to provide you with the material you as for when we barely have enough for ourselves? With the Wraith now in possession of ancient ships and what did you call them? Zpm powered? It is too dangerous for us to go out and mine what you need also."

Then Dr. Weir chimes in:

"You are correct, it will be Larrin but without it we will never be able to contain the Wraith ourselves. This is a necessity for all of us in order to survive as a race, otherwise we the people of Elliot's world would not have asked for any assistance."

This meeting goes on for hours with everyone bickering about what to do and no solution on how to do it. Finally Jack is fed up and decides to leave with the meeting still ongoing, Thor follows him out. They go to his home office to talk.

Jack starts up a white noise generator on his desk.

"Ok that will allow us not to be heard. Thor, buddy I know you have stockpiles of refined Naqahdah, Trinium, Carbon and Neutronium in your home galaxy of Othalla. Please tell me you can spare five hundred thousand tons of each ore?"

Thor's jaw drops when he hears the amount Jack is asking for.

"O'Neill, why do you need that amount? It will use up over half of what we have stored away!"

"Thor, I must ask you not to talk about what I am about to tell you."
"Very well O'Neill, but without talking to the Asgard High Council I cannot guarantee your request will be granted."

"We found a city/ship Twenty thousand miles across. Eli Wallace and Doctor Shawn Macintyre believe it once belonged to the Furlings. The last log entry found stated they were planning to remove all traces of technology from their lives. This city/ship was set on a course for a sun in a distant unknown galaxy. Apparently its navigational systems failed, causing it to end up in the Pegasus galaxy where it almost crashed into a hidden outpost inside of an asteroid found by Mark Taggert and Ronin.

Mark Taggert is now the commander of this base if someone tried to take Praesidos away from him, the V.I would lock everyone out of its systems and set the base's self-destruct for ten seconds. That would not be enough time for anyone to stop it.

We have worked out a deal with him prior to our breakaway from Earth to allow our people to live and work on Praesidos. Sam made another deal with him after we broke away from Earth and she was made second in command of it by the V.I. when she snuck into the base to see Mark. This base in Pegasus is now the most important military outpost in that galaxy."

Thor is surprised and pleased to hear about the hidden base.

"O'Neill, I cannot guarantee my people will allow the amount of our stockpiles to be depleted so. It has taken us over fifteen thousand of your years to accumulate this amount of refined ore. The entire Asgard council will need to agree to release it."

"Thor, Buddy it never hurts to ask."

'Very well O'Neill"

Six months Sam has had the quadruplets and said they will be the last children she will ever have. They named the two boys Daniel after Daniel Jackson and George in honor of George Hammond, the two Girls names are Janet after Janet Frasier and Grace after the hallucination she had in the gas cloud that the Prometheus was stuck in with her on it. Jack is worried but does not say anything, he know from the future his family is actually twelve children and with Sam not wanting anymore it will alter what he has seen. Jack hopes she changes her mind down the line but agrees with his wife it is all they can handle for now keeping up with the little rug rats.

"Jack, wake up the babies are crying again. I need your help with them I do not want Cassie or our other kids woken up this late at night."

"Huh? Oh ok Sam, I am awake now."

Both of them are dead tired from working hard all day and then getting little to no sleep with their nine kids. Sam and Jack feed, change the diapers on all four finally getting them to settle back to sleep.

"Jack, I have finally received word from the Asgard about your request for the refined ore you had asked for six months ago. Thor says he is sorry it has taken them this long to get back to us. It appears there was a big argument in their council about allowing us to take the amount you asked for."

"Sam, Honey I am trying to go back to sleep. Did they agree or not?

"Sigh, Yes Jack they did"

All Sam can hear is his snoring. She wanted to smack him but instead just kissed his cheek and went back to sleep while it was possible to do
