Stargate Univers / Space between the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies / 1968 / two days on a hyper-powered journey
(Alexandr POV)
I was sitting on the captain of my ship, named the Titan-class Orion. Titan is the largest and most dangerous type of ship, the new Alteran Fleet. It contains several types of super weapons, from weapons to the destruction of planets or solar systems, and, or Black hole bombs, the name of this weapon says it all.
But I made one more change, and that is that it has its own stargate installed.
I also have one ZPM installed on these ships. Because the journey from the Milky Way galaxy to Pegasus normally takes almost two weeks, but with ZPM turned on, the journey will only take four days. However, this is not the case when you fly to different galaxies, because galaxies are otherwise far away in space. So traveling to different galaxies takes different ways.
I also installed an artificial intelligence called Athena on the ship.
I was also able to use gene manipulation to turn all humans on Earth, Venus and Mars into Alterans with one hundred percent Alteran DNA. And so the life expectancy of all people changed to three million years.
The colonies on Venus and Mars are developing well. The population had already outgrown their city ships, and so cities began to be built above it over water, or in the case of Mars on the mainland.
Cyla Urbanus had already fully assimilated into the new Alteran society, and began working as a biologist on Earth. And he's also a biologist on the new Alteran Council. She also became one of my mistresses for a few months.
The voice of my first officer, Hannah Shepard, brought me out of my thoughts.
"On the sensors, we detect a ship flying at almost the speed of light," she told me.
"Okay, so stop at below light speed, and wait until they notice us," I ordered.
"Yes, sir," Hanna said, and the ship slowed slowly until it came to a complete stop.
"The ship is slowing down," the man on the sensors said, his name is John Smith. "The ship has come to a complete stop and is sending us a signal," John continued.
"Put it on the screen," I ordered, and an image of a woman with light blond hair appeared on the screen.
"We do not know the vessel, this is Captain Helia of the Alteran warship Tria. My ship has been damaged, we have searched your ship and found that it is capable of traveling in hyper space. Would you provide assistance in the form of hyper space transport?" Captain Helia's hologram asked.
"This is Emperor Alexander of the Eternal Alterian Empire," I said, and I saw a surprise on Helia's face.
"The Emperor of the Eternal Alterian Empire?" she asked me.
"I come from Alteran, which crashed on my Earth, in an alternative reality, and then assimilated into their primitive civilization on Earth. And I, I come from them," I explained.
"I see, but why the emperor?" she asked me.
"Because I know we became arrogant in the war against the Wraith, but it won't happen to me as emperor," I said. "And I have a question for you?" I continued.
"Which one?" she asked me.
"If you and your crew join the others in danger, or join us," I said. "So, what will it be?" I asked.
Helia was silent and thinking for a moment, and finally replied, "She'll have to consult with my crew. I'll call you when we decide," she said, and the channel ended.
And so the wait began. The wait, which ended in five minutes. When the communications officer told me that Tria was calling us back, Helia reappeared on the screen.
"So, how did you agree?" I asked.
"After a long discussion, we have decided to join you," Helia told me.
"Okay, I'm glad," I said. "John, turn off the screen," he ordered, and the screen turned off.
"Athena, turn on the trailing beam, and don't lead the Trio into the hangar on the right side of the hull," I ordered.
"Order accepted," Athena said, turning on the trailing beam, and the Trio began to move into the hangar. After one minute, I received a message from Athens that the Trio was in the hangar. So I turned on the hyperdrive again, and the ship flew into it on its way to Atlantis.
Two days later / Lantea Orbit
A hyper window opened in Lante's orbit, and it sounds, Orion flew out, and when the ship flew out of the hyper window, the window closed.
I was already standing in the transport room with Captain Helia, and a few other people. And I had a backpack with my hand, where I hid three loaded ZMPs.
I turned to everyone and asked, "Are we ready?"
"Yes," they all said.
"Okay," I said. I started "teleporting" through my communicator, and then we appeared in the gate room on Atlantis. As soon as we appeared in the room, she began to fasten from her long sleep.
I looked around the room, and I immediately fell in love with it.
"Finally home," I heard whispers from Helio and her entourage.
I turned to them, and I saw in Helia's eyes the joy that she was finally home, because she didn't expect her to come back someday.
I cleared my throat and asked, "Can we continue?"
"Yes, we can," Helia said, pointing to one of his cans. "Go to the control room, and pick up the cities from the ocean," Helia ordered, and the man quickly obeyed and walked to the control room. He went to the control room to the console, where he pressed a few buttons, and the city began from the bottom of the ocean.
The city began to rise slowly until the waves of the ocean defeated its towers, and then the city settled over the ocean.
When the city was over the ocean, Helia and I headed to the ZPM room.
When we arrived in the room, Helia immediately went to the console, and after a few pushes of buttons, three discharged ZPMs were revealed.
When the three ZPMs were revealed, I began to remove them from the power plant, replacing them with charged ZPMs, and when all three were replaced, Helia pressed the buttons again, and the ZPMs slid in and on.
"Okay, let's go back to the control room," I said, and Helia nodded and headed for the control room again.
The journey to the control room took a full two minutes, during which time I ordered, via a communicator, to turn on all the emergency beacons of all the ships that had been left in space.
When we finally got to the control room, the officer on the sensors needed us immediately.
"Did you find anything?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
"Three ships, Aurora, Hippaforalkus and Invitus, answered our call," he replied, and I heard a sigh from Helium.
So I turned to them and asked, "Helia, do you know one of the ships?"
"Yes, my sister Trebal served on Aurora," she replied, and I saw in their eyes the hope that her sister was alive.
"Okay, send someone to the armchair room, and tell them we'll fly the city to Aurora coordinates," I ordered the officer, and he nodded and sent an officer to the armchair room. I turned to Helia and saw him looking at me in shock.
"Thank you," she whispered to me, and I just nodded, and went to contact Orion. After a few seconds on the console, which controls the communication, so on the screen in front of him, Hannah Shepard appeared.
"Yes, my lord," she asked me.
"Hanna, I'm sending you the coordinates of the two ships you're tasked with picking up and then returning to Earth," I ordered.
"I understand," Hanna said, ending the transmission.
"We're ready to leave," the officer said behind me.
"Okay, get started," I ordered
"Yes, sir," he said, heading back to the console, and I headed for the balcony.
When I arrived at the balcony, I was looking at the beautiful ocean, and suddenly I felt the terminal silencers turn on, and I watched the mighty town's shield begin to rise. And then when the city ship was lifted, the city began to rise from the ocean. And before I got married, we were in space, and Atlantis plunged into hyper space.
Two hours later
In two hours I'm standing with Helia on the same balcony, waiting for us to get out of the hyper space.
Suddenly I heard a voice from my commutator: "In a few winds we will fall out of hyper space".
"Okay," I said, turning to Helia. "We'll be out of hyper space in a moment," I told her, and she just nodded and waited.
A moment later we stepped out of the hyper space and Aurora was visible in the distance. As we approached her, I immediately heard a gasp in horror from Helio. And I'm not surprised at all.
Almost the entire front of Aurora was destroyed, and I wondered how it could still hold together. I turned to Helia, and told her, "Don't lose hope, Helia."
"What hope, I got the hope that my sister was alive, but when I look at Aurora she's almost gone," she told me, and she turned to me, and I saw her tears running down her cheeks.
"Yes you're right, part of Aurora is gone. But don't the cryo chambers have their own power source?" I asked her.
"Yes, you're right. Each cryo chamber has its own power source if the main power source goes out," Helia said.
"Let's go to the control room to find out what the scanners on the ship found," I said, and she nodded, so we left the balconies and the control room.
"Message," I said as we entered the control room.
"My lord, the sensors on the ship are picking up a lot of slow-motion signs of life, it's like they're frozen in cryo chambers," the sensor officer said.
"Okay, so turn on the tow beam, and guide the ship to one landing pad, and then jump to the coordinates I entered into the computer," I ordered, and went to my office.
And so the light of the trailing beam emerged from one end of the city, and which, as it surrounded Aurora, the damaged ship began to drag across the emptiness of space until it landed on one of the landing pads of Atlantis.
When the ship was secured on the platform, a hyper window opened in front of the city, and Atlantis flew into it, flying to Earth.
