Chapter 10
By:Jace
AN: I would like to take and say thank you to everyone who has stuck around to this point. I honestly had never thought I would break 50k words or make it to chapter 10. I have to take thank my Awesome Beta Andrewjameswilliams for all his help and being a sounding board.
Xander stood in the hanger of the Sotiyo he had decided to Name Jovian Drive Yards. He had been here testing one of the new cruisers that had been redesigned by Sam with a little help from an Asgard named Hermiod. There were many different cruiser-class hulls in front of him, from the great empires of New Eden, though there were no designs from any of the other factions - like the Sisters of EVE or Mordu's Legion - present. Each one had been picked out by the candidate who would pilot it, most had chosen Thoraxs or Arbitrators though there were a few Vexor and Moa mixed in for good measure.
Out of the fifty candidates that had been chosen to undergo training and conversion into capsuleers four of them had been rejected due to an abnormal gene structure that would have posed too great of a risk to their lives if they were to undergo conversion. Those four had been offered positions in the new embassy on Earth located in Antarctica. They had declined the Offer and had returned to Earth to join the SGC which had resumed operation earlier this month after a four month hiatus while the space station was set up in L1 Earth-moon lagrange point. That left the first class at forty-three former military personnel and Cordelia, Willow and Buffy. That would begin conversion tomorrow.
Today they were all in the Imladris's medbay going over their final biosculpt decisions then their clone bodies would be prepared for the first group of five tomorrow morning with another group every two hours till they were all done. They would then head for their capsules and make the flight here to pick up their chosen ship. From there they would all head out following him on a test flight around the system and then a short hop through hyperspace to Alpha Centauri where they would have a mock battle then return to the system where each new capsuleer would be on there own for the next three weeks as long they stayed within system as he understood it most would return to earth to see their families then at the end of their three week liberty they would bring the next round of candidates from Earth; this group would be almost two hundred people it would also be the first group to have civilian applicants.
Xander made his way to where his own Rapier was docked, after having been modified to fit a hyperdrive he had lost a gun turret to make room but it was necessary since he lacked the materials to make one with the hyperdrive built into it. Xander once onboard, belined for his capsule once he launched and headed for Imladris. He had a meeting with Ambassador's Weir and Freyr.
Arriving at the Imladris docking primenter the tethering beam shot out and latched onto his ship pulling it towards the secondary bay he had moved his extra subcaps into with all but two of his alts running mining barges at this point. He had a good supply of materials coming in, though it was only thanks to the Asgard that a supply of high quality naquadah for the construction of the hyperdrives had been created - including one on a special project he had started months ago - with their help that would be completing in just a few days.
It took only a few minutes for the Rapier to land and for Xander to come walking down the ramp. Taking a look around at the few pure New Eden ships he had; a couple of Ares-Class interceptors set in one corner along with the un-modified Rapier. He had also docked the Nester-Class battleship that was no longer needed to be stored inside the cavernous cargo bays of the Rust Bucket.
Looking around the hanger was difficult in some ways for a small part of him that was Xander Prime From the Intaki. For Xander Harris the seventeen-year old nerd and former King of the Cretins it was a dream come true. Especially seeing the Nestor sitting in the bay he would have loved to take it out for a spin but it was currently just the empty hull that was stored on the Rust Bucket. Used to quick change fitting in the game. But unneeded in real life since changing fits on a ship seemed to be as simple as powering up and down different subsystems. Since the construction of the cruisers for the recruits was complete he had planned to begin building the needed systems for it. Though it might be some time before it had a hyperdrive installed since the one Sam had created seemed to have an upwards mass limit around that of a battlecruiser. Though she was sure once she was able to fully integrate into the labs after tomorrow, that progress into overcoming that little issue would increase by a significant margin.
Xander made his way out of the hanger heading for his meeting deep in thought. It took barley a minute to arrive at the same conference room where the new treaty had been signed only four months ago.
SOTL: Titan-Four Months Ago-SOTL: Titan
After seeing the delegation from Earth off aboard the modified Al'kesh, leaving only Ambassador Weir, her embassy staff, the capsuleer candidates and the Jaffa aboard, Xander had headed back to the conference room for another meeting with Freyr. General Hammond had tried at the last minute to convince him to let the rest of the former members of SG-1 stay aboard, in a quite transparent attempt by the US Air Force and especially the former SGC to attempt to exert some semblance of control over what they were doing here, for security purposes. Thankfully before Xander was forced to respond to that luncy Prime Minister Blair had stepped in and put a stop to it, with President Bartlett - with not very convincing support - backing him up. Thus Hammond and co had been forced to leave, taking Skaara along with them.
Arriving back to the conference room he walked in already in their seats were Sam, Giles, and Ambassador Weir.
"Everyone ready now that our guests are on their way back to Earth?"
"We are ready." Responded Wier
"Aura contact Freyr, please. Let her know that we are ready to continue." Said Xander as he took his seat.
Just a few seconds later the sound of chimes and a flash of silver-white later once again sat Freyr on her throne.
"Greetings, Xander." said Freyr after she appeared.
"Welcome back. Freyr I couldn't help but notice that your other ships left and seemed to be in quite a hurry. Is everything ok?" asked Xander.
"Everything is fine, they just had another mission they must complete. Now to continue our previous discussion I have spoken with the Asgard High Council. We would like to establish a Treaty with your governments. In exchange for access to your cloning technology we would be willing to offer help with adapting your technology to work to this reality is this agreeable." Said Freyr
Xander looks over at Sam since as soon as technical help was mentioned she had seemed to perk up even more. "While your offer sounds interesting I am curious on why you are so interested in our cloning technology?"
Freyr looked about as embarrassed as an Asgard could. "We don't like to talk about it much, especially with other races, but as a race the Asgard reproduce exclusively through a form of enhanced cellular mitosis," Freyr answered.
"Are you serious you have no other means of reproduction," Sam asked.
"Unfortunately no. We lost the ability to reproduce sexually many millennia ago. Since then we have had to resort to cloning to survive, unfortunately…"
"... you are beginning to experience issues with replicative fading," Xander finished for her seeing where this was going. Somehow he wasn't that surprised, especially given Freyr's earlier curiosity about how capsuleers avoided that particular problem..
"Yes we created a process of controlled mutation that has enabled us to hold off complete genetic breakdown but we are at the very limit of our capabilities. From what you have said about your own cloning technology you could have at least a part of the answer needed to save my race from slow extinction."
"The Asgard can have access to our cloning technology without having to offer anything in return. I couldn't in good consciousness require something in return," Xander said immediately with passion in his voice. Around the table Giles, Sam, and Weir. looked at him with pride in their eyes at the generous soul that was Xander Harris. He really was a white knight if ever there was such a thing.
"We can not accept such help with out offering something in return." said Freyr
Xander typed up a quick message to the other three sitting with him.
"We will not take anything in return. But if the Asgard do wish to provide technical help we will not refuse but as far as we are concerned helping you is the only decent thing we can do."
"Understood. With your permission we would like to bring a few of our scientists and engineers here to begin looking over your cloning technology and to help with adapting your technology to work properly in this reality," replied Freyr, not letting on that the Asgard knew the truth of their origins. Their old allies had asked them to keep that secret to themselves and they would do so.
"You are more than welcome, we can make an empty corporation office building available for you to use as an embassy." said Xander.
"That would be acceptable." replied Freyr.
The talks continued back and forth for a several hours hashing out a treaty between Earth and the Asgard and the Asgard and the Capsuleer Confederacy
SOTL: Titan-Imladris-SOTL: Titan
Walking into the conference room you could immediately see changes had been made and gone was the long table instead there was a horseshoe shaped table with a cutouts on the side that could accommodate several Asgard thrones if needed. Today Heimdall was attending. Also at the table sat Elizabeth and Giles, Sam would normally be here also but like all the candidates she was on an enforced down time to prepare herself for tomorrow.
"Sorry I'm late. I was testing the modifications to the ships to make sure they were ready for tomorrow," said Xander as he made his way to his seat at the head of the table.
"It's no problem Xander we haven't been here long." replied Elizibeth
"So what's on the agenda for today?" asked Xander
"Xander, Heimdall approached me and asked if he may observe the process tomorrow with several of our biologists. Since you have been reluctant to demonstrate your transference technology." Freyr spoke
"I personally have no issue but i will allow only one into the room during the process the rest may observe though the sensors and camera drones," replied Xander not wanting to cause anymore embarrassment to any of the candidates it would be bad enough with him there.
"That is acceptable." Freyr replied.
"Elisabeth, how is the SGC doing? I believed they resumed operations today didn't they?"
"Yes i understand that they are going to revisit planets they have already been to before and just do a checkup on some of the more primitive cultures. They are going to Abydos I believe in a few days to return Skaraa to his family." replied Weir
"I bet he will be happy to get home." said Xander
"Ok I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. If I'm not needed for anything I'm going to get some sleep. Heimdal I will see you tomorrow mourning 0700 station time in the main medical bay." Xander said getting up
"Goodnight Xander" said both Giles and Weir. While Freyr and Hemidall both nodded their heads.
Xander made his way to his quarters with a quick detour through the promenade where you can see more and more people had started to move into the station. Before heading to bed to try and get some sleep.
8 hours later
Xander awoke, dressed before walking out of his room and stopped short in surprise as sitting there at the table in the main room of his suite were Giles, Buffy, Willow, Cordelia, and Sam. With Joyce standing at the kitchen in the room. That had been added to all the suites by her request for the scoobies.
"Good Mourning Xander. I've made breakfast for everyone. Would you like tea, juice or coffee?" Asked Joyce
Looking at the spread of food currently sitting on his table
"Just juice please Mrs. Summers." Spoke Xander as he sat down and put some eggs and bacon on his plate as Joice walked up and put a glass of orange juice. "So what brought on this Invasion of my room?".
"Well this is the last meal we have before the girls become capsuleers." Including Sam who over the months, the by nature very matronlyJoyce had seemed to have adopted as a younger sister.
As they all sat there eatting joking and having a great time, but like all good things, time came for Xander and the girls to head for the med bay. They were to be in the first group they would be joined by Angelika from Germany. He had seperated the groups by sex so as to limit the emmbarassment.
Arriving at the medbay Xander went ahead and entered, off to the side sits Heimdall in his throne with a small silvery metallic ball hovering over top of him. while the girls wait outside for Angelika. Xander approached the main control terminal in the center of the room from where he, and Aura, could monitor the process of all five pods.
After double checking all the systems he opened the door to the medbay and the girls plus Angelika entered having prepared for it the girls each walked to a stasis pod and climbed in. along the back wall 5 clone pods moved into position
"Ok here we go, in a few moments an injection will be administered that will start the conversion process. There will be no pain, it will just feel like you're falling asleep, please do not attempt to fight against it as that could cause the neural burn to fail. This is the final chance to back out if any of you wish to do so?"
No one did.
"Very well then. Beginning the conversion process," as Xander finished speaking a metallic bowl shaped machine was lowered over each of their heads. With the flip of a mental switch the process started to count down

All five girls laid there as first a simple injection of a fast acting but painless chemical was put into their bloodstream gently putting all five girls into a deep sleep. then a small armature emerged from the device over each girl and began emitting an energy field that passed through the skin and began the transneural scan.
"What is the nature of that chemical," Heimdall asked curiously.
"It's a nano-neural compound that serves two functions," Xander explained, "first it prepares the neural architecture of the candidate's brain for the scan ensuring that all memories and personality data can be copied and converted to the infomorphic format successfully. The second function is it euthanizes the body as painlessly and quickly as possible. Otherwise they would be in tremendous pain as the burn takes place before it kills them, it's why so many of the first capsuleers went mad Now though the candidate just feels like they're falling asleep. At that point the scan and conversion begins."
"I see and how long will this take?"
"Originally it used to take up to twenty to thirty minutes for the first burn. But advances and improvements since capsuleer technology was developed have cut the burn time down to minutes at most. It really depends on the age of the candidate."
"I see."
For a few more moments they both watched then the neural scanners stopped and retracted as the scan completed, the statis pods snapped closed then the pod retracted into the floor.
On the back wall the first hatch starts to open and out drops Angelika she had chosen a bio sculpt that looked remarkably like her original body though she had changed the hair color to a soft blue and added in a prosthetic arm which - from what his implants were telling him - had a built in scramble pistol.
As soon as she was out of her pod the second one had started the process dropping Sam on to the floor of the med bay. Sam had also stayed mostly the same though she had turned her age back to her mid twenties and changed her hair length to below her shoulder blades.
The third pod contained Willow's new body and it opened dropping her to the floor she hadn't really made any major changes to her body during biosculting accept aging herself to look like her mid twenties and a slight increase in bust size
The forth pod contained Buffy, when she dropped Xander was amazed she had aged herself up to her mid twenties also but she had added in a prosthetic armwith a retractable sword and had increased her height to 5'6.
The last pod opened and Cordelia dropped out she had changed herself to take on a more elfin appearance with pointed ears and all she had also changed her height up to 5'10 lengthened her hair down to waist changed the color to be black with red tips
Xander set monitoring each of the women on the floor as their new bodies start to pick themselves up. The first one up was, to his total lack of surprise, was Buffy. She had barely been on the floor for seconds before her eyes opened and she did a kick flip up onto her feet.
"Wow I feel great. This is so cool." With a thought the three foot blade in her prosthetic arm extended out and locked into place before she retracted it. Shee then looked down and crossed her arms across her chest. "Eeep I'm naked."
"Yeah I told you that will happen everytime you die and resurrect. If you look over on the wall beside the pods you will find some underwear and a paper gown, we still have tests to do."
As soon as Xander finished speaking Buffy made a beeline to the small closet Xander had indicated finding a set of the plain capsuleer under garment she pulled them on and for the first time since she had stepped onto Xander's titan, she felt the cloth interfacing with her implants and she was able to tell them to resize to fit her without using a wall console or asking Xander to help pulling out one of the paper gown almost exactly like you would find at any doctor's office on earth she put it on then goes over to help Willow.
"Leave her she needs to go though this on her own, right now her councness and nural network are spreading throughout her body getting used to the new pathway that exists. Honestly i'm surprised your up so fast I guess we can chalk it up to your slayer healing though I am surprised that it followed you into clone body it will be interesting to see if it continues thought multiple deaths but please lay down on one of the biobeds I will go ahead and begin the test." spoke Xander stopping Buffy from picking Willow uo from the deck.
"It's interesting when we change into a new body we are able to recover almost instantaneously much like Buffy Summers did." spoke Heimdall.
"Yeah the first time is the hardest. The neural burn can be very distorting the first time, human counceniess are very resilient. In fact when I die now it takes me only a few moments to reorient." responded Xander
The next person to start to pick themselves up off the floor was Angelika. She first gets up on her knees then slowly stands she is a little wobbly as she finally gets fully upright.
"Ugh why do i feel so weak." she mumbles in perfect english without a single trace of her previous accent. She notices she is nude but honestly after having to run out of a shower stall and across a base due to a mortar attack and flashing the entire base she had little to no body shame left.
"That is because you're not completely used to your new body. It will fade in the next few minutes there are undergarments and a paper gown to wear while we do some testing. Please get dressed and lay on a biobed." responds Xander with Angelika quickly getting dressed and laying down on the bed.
Sam was next to get up and quickly getting dressed and laying one of the biobeds Willow was next and she quickly freaked about her nudity going so far as to hide behind the nearest biobed and Buffy having to grab her some clothes. Xander got a slight laugh at his first friend expressions in his head but could kinda understand Willow was and always had been very shy.
Just as Xander was starting to get slightly worried about Cordelia she finally started to move standing up, noticing her nudity she looked straight at Xander with her hand on her hips.
"Did you enjoy the show Perv?" she asked with amusement in her voice "I guess it's fair since i got to see all of you when you died on earth months ago."
"Cordy please get dressed there are undergarments and a paper gown in the cabinet on the wall once you're dressed we can do the final test and you guys can get fully dressed and out of here so i can start the next batch."
Cordy got dressed quickly and layed down the testing went by very quickly and with in a half an hour they were complete from the time Xander had arrived in the med bay until all five of ladies in the room had went though the other door in the room to a locker room to get fully dressed was just over one hour and twenty-five minutes. The only test that could not be completed in the medbay was Angelika scrambler pistol she had been given strict instruction to wait till tomorrow when Xander would take all the capsuleers who had opted for similar mods to the shooting range for the test.
For the next eighteen hours group after group went through the process by the time the last group was done Xander was exhausted
"Xander this was a very enlightening process. I wonder if some Asgard techniques or technologies could speed up the process." spoke Hemidall
"Heimdall, I'm going to be completely honest with you right now I am extremely tired I would be happy to answer any question on another day or if you want to send me message though you will probably find much more information in the database than i could possibly tell you i'm not a expert in the process in fact until a few weeks ago I didn't even know how to do any of this I had to have Aura inject the knowledge into my implants." replied Xander while rubbing his eyes and standing up to stretch.
"I will check the database and see if it can answer my questions. If it can not, I will send you a message you can answer at your leisure Goodbye." with that he teleports away.
Damn the little guys are still rude but at least he said good bye this time, with that though Xander walks out of the medbay and heads for his suite to get some food and then sleep tomorrow morning he had to run though firearms test with almost half the new capsuleer who had all opted for a built in side arm of some sort. Which kinda made sense to him since almost every member of this group would make up the core of the New Concord to help manage and enforce the law among the many hundreds or thousands of capsuleers there would one day be. Then tomorrow afternoon there was flight testing with their new cruisers after that they would have the three weeks of leave before they started in with patrols and other training with the heavy weapons and drop suits that they had to wait til they were capsuleers to train in.
Arriving at his suite he walks in to find Cordy, Buffy, and Willow all sitting on his couch.
"Really guys you know this is basically my house you don't see me walking into your suites and waiting for you i'm really tired I just want to eat, then pass out, I have to be up early to monitor the first uses of some of our fellows implanted guns."
"Sorry Xander we just want to ask why you didn't tell us ahead of time we would emerge naked." asked Will who still seemed to be have the same blush she had eighteen hours ago
"Well to be completely honest it never crossed my mind. I've only died twice and I mean both times i was in a hurry to put on some clothes and get back to what i was doing. It's just not something I put two and two together on. Sorry" Xander stated while putting one hand on the pack of his head.
"It's fine just remember payback is a bitch and i'm the queen." said Cordy the blood instantly fading from Xanders face. As she and the other girls got up and walked out heading back to their own rooms as soon as the door closed behind them they started giggling.
"Did you see the look on his face? It was priceless thank you Aura for letting us know he was on his way back."
"My pleasure after all us Ladies have to stick together." came Aura's voice in each of their ears.
Back in his room Xander still stood in the same spot. " ah shit im dead." walking to his cooler where he kept some of the fresh food brought in from Earth he grabbed a plate that had on it several slice of Mrs. Summers Meatloaf and a bowl of mash potatoes though them in futuristic equivalent of a microwave they were reheated in seconds, taking his plate and bowl to the table he went back and grabbed a bottle of coke and and some silverware he set down and quick ate while reviewing the daily report on the station that he had been to busy to go over while doing the conversions completing it and finishing his food he walks into his bedroom and falls on the bed "Aura wake me up at 8am" he mumbles out and falls asleep.
7 hours later
Xander comes awake very slowly to the sound of some chimes.
"I'm awake Aura." he mumbles
"Good morning Xander it is 8:01 am station time. The weather in the promenade is partly cloudy today and will be 77 degrees. Would you like hear the overnight report?" said Aura
"Sure, tell me about them while I shower i can't believe I slept in clothes." xander says while rolling out of bed and walking towards the bathroom striping off his clothes along the way
Completing his morning shower and getting dressed he pokes his head out of his bedroom seeing no one he sigh and walks to over to the fridge opening it and grabbing the jug of milk he walks over to the cabinet and pulls out a travel mug he had picked up in Londo with the picture of Big Ben on it filling it and screwing on the top he open another cabinet and grabs a pack of pop-tarts
Setting them on the counter he walks over and puts the milk back in and then grabs his cup and food and walks out of his suite heading for the firing range so he could get these last tests out of the way.
Arriving just as he finishes off his last bite he walked in to find twenty-four people waiting in formation behind the firing line all wearing what looked like a uniform, it was a black and green digital style camouflage bodysuit with what looked like built in pads at the knees and elbows they each have on a beret on there head with the New Concords Silver sheriffs Star
Someone sees him and yells "Attention" and all twenty-four people snap in to a perfect attention
"Come on you guys I thought we went over this months ago you don't need to do this type of thing everytime i walk into a room." replied Xander with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Sir before we were just recruits now we are full members of a paramilitary organization tasked with enforcing the rules and regulation system wide all of us had talked it over for the last few weeks. I hope you like the uniforms all of us that were joining Concord had input designing them." said Oliver Jones a former member of Australian Army who had happened to be the second highest ranked recruit of the recruits at the time of his retirement and recruitment..
"Please can we at least keep it to a minimum since you have all made your minds maybe only to when there are dignitaries or something around, it embarrasses everyone of you knows the truth about what happened so please for my sanity." pleaded Xander
Oliver looked over at the rest of the people in the room with a raised eyebrow then snapped back to looking forward "Sir, yes Sir" they all screamed and then took a much more relaxed stances
"Thank you so lets get started, Oliver since you wanted to be the one to surprise me. You choose a built in ion pistol so step up to the line and deploy your weapon." said Xander as he takes a seat at the nearby console and then pulls up sensor information Oliver does as he was told. Stepping up to the line Oliver holds out his hand palm towards the target, his hand then splits apart right between his ring and middle finger and a barrel appears.
"Ok please fire only a few shots." says Xander with that fours tiny bolts of plasma shot out striking the target down range. "Good heat management and power supply look good go ahead and fire till it overheats." with that he let rip with eighteen more bolts before stopping completely melting the target which then retracted into the floor. "Good everything looks good, heat levels are dropping and the capacitors and chamber are recharging your good next."
And so it went for the twenty to people who had a combination of ion and scrambler pistols built in till we got to the last guy was a Scotsman named Brodie Macdonald who had went for a more invasive cybernetics he had put in a flaylock pistol that deployed from his shoulder Predator style it had limited ammunition compared to the others but was devastating when used properly
"Ok Brodie go head and fire a dumb rocket." said Xander as watch as weapon deployed and a micro missle poped out hitting the target and blowing it to pieces. "Ok next lock on to a target and I will set it to move one rocket only.'' Several targets appeared and started to move rapidly. Brodie locked onto one and launched a missile this time the missile started tracking til it impacted one of the targets blowing it up. " Good everything looks great guys go get some food and meet me at the secondary hangar at lets say thirteen hundred hours, that gives you just a little over an hour till we leave, see you then."
With that xander got up and belined out the door before they could react and embarrass him some more arriving back on his floor before he could reach his suite the door across the hall opened and Joyce spoke
"Xander please come and join us. I made some pizzas for everyone."
"Umm pizza sure thing let me go change then I will be right over," he said before dashing into his suit and rushing to get changed to get the burnt carbon smell off he jumped into a quick sonic shower and got dressed he also sends out a quick message telling everyone to be in hanger at 1pm. then he rushes across the hall. Entering Joyce's suite he sees the whole group already eating and just enjoying each other's company. Even Giles was sitting on the couch talking with Willow and Buffy about something while Sam, Cordy and Joyce were sitting at the table.
With a few pizzas sitting there along with some plates and napkins. Walking towards the table he detour towards the fridge to grab a drink than takes and grabs a plate and put a couple of pieces on as he goes to take his first bite Joyce speaks up
" I hear you got quite the show yesterday Xander." she says in the most innocent sounding voice
Setting his pizza down "I'm never going to live down not warning them about it am I? It's just not something I thought about, you have to understand capsuleers don't have much in the way of modesty it just not something that lasts long when you die and get revived hundreds of times you realize it's a mortal concept that's just not that important, so once again im sorry." he says before picking up his pizza and enjoyed a Joyce cooking heaven as the food taste wonderful like always. After that single line conversation turned to less heavy subjects about how excited the girls where to fly today
Finally the time rolled around. Giles and Joyce said goodbye to Xander and the girls before they left making their way to the hangar almost everyone had on the uniform there were a few exceptions such as Dr. Smythe who would be taking over the medbay and his nurse Jill Gibson both who had come from British Army
"Ok guys everyone board your pods remember to put your clothes in the bin so they don't get soaked with hydrostatic gel, trust me it's not pleasant. For those of you with longer hair tie it back this time after the pod register you bio signs and implant signature you won't have to worry about it."
With that all forty-seven of the new capsuleers belined for one of the brand new pods that were sitting in the bay while Xander made his way over to his Rapier. He got situated in his own pod then watched the display as each pod turned blue signaling a full connection had been made and it was registering as an alliance member except the girls and sam there's turned green
"Ok everyone lets take this nice and easy one at a time starting from the closest to the doors launch." said Xander
SOTL: Titan-Space-SOTL: Titan
Other than some slight hiccups you could see forty-seven silver pods streak out of the hanger bay as each one cleared the bay a tethering beam locked onto it when the last pod launched then Xander followed behind
"Ok guys go ahead and align to the shipyard but do not enter warp yet. Once we arrive the automated systems will bring you in and dock your pod to your selected cruiser, once you are connected check you system then launch in the same manner you just did after this you will each have you own hanger off the main docking bay on Imladris so you will be able to launch at will." Xander said and matched action to words aligning and watching as each pod did the same some a little sloppier than others once everyone was aligned
"Ok engage warp and dock to the Sotiyo."
Almost at once everyone of the pods shot off for the brief 1000km warp dropping out of warp Xander could see the first few pods had already docked once they did he waited a few minutes before he suddenly heard
"Woohoo this a blast." as a Stabber flew out of the hanger piloted by Buffy. After that it was a parade of cruiser flying out of the bay with Cordy, Willow and Sam bringing up the rear Cordy in her Vexor and Sam in her Moa and Willow in her Osprey one of only three logistics ships in the fleet the other two being a Scythe and an Augoror flew by the doctor and nurse respectfully
"Ok guys let's do a shot hop to Pluto and from there we will head to Alpha Centauri for some weapons tests and mock combat so that our logi can get some practice. This will be a fleet warp so accept the warp. And align now." said Xander as each cruiser followed order the girls take up place around Xander waiting till everyone was aligned Xander commanded a fleet warp and every ship jumped to warp for roughly one hour it would take since Jupiter and Pluto were currently on opposite sides of Sol from one another.
Arriving at Pluto everyone split apart and started to enter hyperspace for the short jaunt to Alpha Centauri.
SOTL: Titan-SGC in orbit of earth-SOTL: Titan
Jack looked at his new team SG-1 had been increased to five people he still had Danial and Teal'c, though he now had Brit and a Canadian on his team
The Brit was a member of the SAS a Sergeant Major who loved to smoke a pipe after every mission and the Canadian Jack though honestly needed to lose a few pounds and learn how not to be so condescending. Tagging along on this mission was also Skaara since they were returning him to his family on Abydos. The gate started dialing as each chevron locked Jack felt like a giddy school girl finally getting off his ass and doing something. As the final chevron locked and kawoosh took place the new guys jumped back a step. The MALP hovered forward that was probably one of the most obvious changes to the loadout of every SG mission.
"Everything looks good SG-1 you have a go" said General Hammond over the loudspeakers
With that Jack put on his sunglasses and they walked through the gate.
AN2: cookie who can guess who the new members of sg1 and if they came from another fandom leave your guess in the reviews first person to get both right will get mentioned next chapter
