Chapter 6-Going Home
Vulcan High Orbit
"It intrigues me captain, humans and indeed, other goa'uld slave species are spread throughout the galaxy, but what of us?"
The captain turned to him with a confused expression "What do you mean?"
"Well, since discovering many human worlds, we suspected that they were planted by another more advanced race, which from your explanations proved to be true, we have also discovered other races throughout our local space, most noticeably the Andorians, which I believe you are already familiar with?" he continues on the captains nod, "the majority of which are humanoid, but none of them have ever encountered the Goa'uld within any of our respective spaces, only on deep space expeditions."
'Your point Mr. Soval?" the captain asked
"The goa'uld must have noticed us, and realizing that we could not possibly have caused much a threat until recent technological advancements, why have they not attacked us?"
Davis stopped walking, I never thought of that he pondered "I must admit, the thought never did come to me, perhaps your members of the protected planets treaty?" he asked
Soval merely raised an eyebrow, the equivalent of a 'no, please explain, cause I have no bloody clue what your on about' in Vulcan body language.
They continued walking while Davis explained "There is a race of extremely advanced beings known as the Asgard, who are in a uneasy pact with the goa'uld in the defense of certain worlds that prevent the goa'uld system lords for attacking, unless they want to unleash the wraith of the Asgard on themselves, which I can guarantee they don't want." He smirked, remembering the videos he'd seen of an Asgard battlecruiser in action. "We know there were 26 worlds in the treaty, which included earth for a time, but since the system lords are no longer a factor, the two remaining goa'uld powers, Maktenos and Anubis are free to attack any of those worlds. Luckily they're still caught up nuking each other into oblivion, and neither of them would want to face the wraith of the Asgard, which gives us the opportunity to build up our fleet and gain allies to fight against whoever wins in their little battle of egos."
Soval just nodded in understanding "We have heard of the Asgard from several of the people we have meet, we have yet to meet them in person, but it has been many Vulcans ambition in life to do so." They finally reached the bridge as Davis sat in the captains chair, while Reilly moved over to her station, "However, does that not leave my people, and for that matter several dozen other races, open for attack from either of these goa'uld?" Soval asked.
Davis nodded gravely "unfortunately yes, that's why we are trying to gain allies and strength in hopes of fighting back the inevitable war that will soon come."
"I'd be more worried about the Aschen then the goa'uld for now, their likely going to be pissed for what we did to their Mothership." Reilly speculated
"I don't think they can get angry off commander" Davis said grinning
The XO rolled her eyes," you know what I mean captain."
"Sir engineering's reported they've done the best they could at repairing the damage and that were looking at a pretty big refit at Thundersdawn." The comm. officer reported.
"Well with no further delays, I believe now would be the best time to leave." The young Ambassador said.
Davis sighed "Peters isn't going to be happy with this, prepare to jump, Sol System."
"Aye sir, course plotted, and ready to engage on your mark." Veers reported
"Jump."
The silver ship that stood out among the bronze, and hazel of Vulcan design, accelerated towards the forming hyperspace window, flying right into the haze, disappearing into hyperspace.
Meanwhile
Unsuspected by the gathering of engineers and scientists, a signal was detected by the generator, it began with its selected task with extreme efficiency, the Vulcans and humans would not know its purpose until it was too late, and then it would be their downfall in the battle to come…
