Sorry for how long it is taking, but I am partway through revising the story so far. Once complete I will be deleting all of the chapters, and uploading them in five chapter blocks.

A few things about the story so far! The Gau'auld has an enemy as already been done, so decided to remove them as the main threat. Their will be Gau'auld that become enemies of earth, but they will not be the main threat! To begin with the story will be about exploring the galaxy, and improving the knowledge of the earth as a whole. I will slowly introduce the new threat as time goes by.

My reason for making the Gau'auld creations of the Ancients, and not a naturally evolving species. Simply put! When I first watched the pilot episode for Stargate Atlantis. The Ancient man who was stood with the Ancient female found in Antarctica in SG1, looked like he was a Gau'auld host to me. It also fit well with how the plague spread throughout their population, with them ultimately saving the Ancients being the reason they were spared.

The 'Nox'. They always seemed to have a darkness behind the eyes, just waiting to be set free! I know that they are pacifists, but it always seemed like they were not always that way, and hoped that the show would explore that side of them eventually. So I thought I would do it myself! The Nox will be very important to the story eventually, but it may be some time before it seems that way.

With the Asgard, it just made sense that Odin gained his title 'The all father' because he was the one who created the cloning technology that saved his race. It fits in well with the title, and also explains why his children are in high positions within Asgard society. I am really looking forward to using the Asgard, and will try to have them around as often as possible, especially Modi and Magni! Thor will be used mainly for exposition purposes, with him showing up for reports. This way it will be easier to let the readers know what they have been up to off-page.

With the Tok'ra, it was only SG1's reaction to becoming Joined with a Symbiote, that stopped the Tok'ra and humanity going down that route! In reality a lot of people would be willing to be joined, if it meant that they would never get sick, and would age at a slower rate! It wouldn't be for everyone, but the people in this story have not been exposed to movies like Alien or invasion of the body snatchers etc. Because of this; l believe that those people would be more receptive than SG1 were to joining with a Tok'ra Symbiote! The Tok'ra seemed to me to be very receptive to an alliance with the Tau'ri, until they saw how disgusted they were at the thought of joining with them!

James or Jim depending on which character his addressing him, defeating the Gau'auld! Technically he did not defeat him, and never could have! The Gau'auld made the choice to stop fighting; I kind of skipped over that part, but if I had tried to write the conversation between them in detail; Then it would have probably just seemed stupid, so I left it to your own imagination's.

On San'kha being a Teal'c clone! Yes he is but not completely. San'kha was a true believer; He knew what the Gau'auld were, but he also believed them to be divine. Teal'c already had doubts about the Gau'auld! They have a wife and son, and I called his wife Kendra, but to be honest coming up with names for characters is bloody hard! So I cheated and recycled a few.

The Jaffa so easily turning on the Gau'auld during the summit! I did this to highlight the fact that each Gau'auld treated both their slaves and more importantly their Jaffa differently, and that not all of the Jaffa would turn on the Gau'auld or the human slaves that worshipped them! SG1 sort of hinted, that the fall of the Gau'auld was sending the galaxy in this direction; With the freed slaves resenting the Jaffa, and the Tau'ri for toppling the Gau'auld and turning their lives upside down.

Janus! The man who inspired this story, because? Well to be honest, I always wondered what did he do after he set up the obelisks with the future written on them for Jack O'Neill, and how he did that in the first place; I thought this was a fun way of exploring that, and also a way to bring the Replicators back, because everyone loves the Replicators lol. Samantha Carter, and probably more importantly to the story Elizabeth Weir/ Fran being Replicators, made it possible to bring them both back. They were also the only way to make the Gau'auld impotent, because against them they are nothing!

Larry started out as a plot device, but it soon became clear that I would need a way of controlling the Replicators or at the very least, a reason for them changing their ways. I was also intrigued by the head sucker device, and wanted a way to give that device a physical form of some kind! Janus was always supposed to reveal himself, but Larry sort of evolved as I wrote the story, into more than he was originally intended to be. I was originally going to kill him off, sacrificing himself; Only before that he was going to put a copy of himself into one of the robot copies from the SG1 episode. "Tin man". Then I remembered the box Janus showed Elizabeth Weir and said. "I still have my inventions" or something along those lines, so I decided to make him and Janus equally important to the story.

Larry stealing Janus's technology? Someone commented that, and I wondered if they were paying attention! None of the technology is Janus's, except for anything he stored on this plain of existence, before he ascended. Larry is not a piece of technology, he is a lifeform that Janus artificially helped evolve! Just because Janus gave him knowledge, does not mean that he owns that knowledge. If that was the case we would all be enslaved to anyone who taught us anything in our lives, it just does not make sense! Any knowledge Janus Gives to the Hastings family, is their birth-right and was always intended to be theirs. No one is stealing anything from Janus! What Janus has done, is morally ambiguous at best! And could be considered homicide on a galactic or even universal scale at worst. The multiverse is going to come into play, and their will be consequences for his actions. Suffice to say, he does not completely understand the multiverse, and the effects of time travel as well as he thinks!

I write by doing a rough outline in my head, until I have a beginning and an end. The beginning is easy but I am still working on where this part of the story will finish, and also which characters are going to the Pegasus galaxy, and which will become the main players in this story. I already know roughly who will be where, and the reasons for them choosing their destinations. Hope you have enjoyed the story so far!
