Chapter 19: Welcome to Earth
Setting: In orbit above Earth, three days before the Cylons arrive
A flash of light filled General O'Neill's office in Stargate Command. He was instantly transported up to The Teal'c, one of the two newest Asgard battle cruisers. The second one – The Samantha Carter – was about thirty clicks from it. O'Neill gazed out the large window to view the ship.
"Amazing, Thor! These ships have to be the best ones you have come up with. I still wish I could have seen The Jack O'Neill before Carter blew it up!"
"Thank you, O'Neill. My long ranger sensors indicate four ships exiting hyperspace about 120 clicks from our location. Establishing video and audio with the ships."
General Hammond's face appeared on the screen. He smiled when he saw O'Neill and Thor standing in the great ship. "General, Commander, it is good to see you. We have The Galactica, Celestra, and Salvage and Repair ship with us. All the ships are ready for the modifications Thor."
Thor nodded. "Very well. I will have The Samantha Carter go and make the modifications. It appears another ship is dropping out of hyperspace. O'Neill, I believe you should look at it."
O'Neill turned to look through the window to see a massive ship pass by. It was at least two times the size of both the Samantha Carter and the Teal'c put together.
"Wow! Now that is a ship? What is it?"
"That, O'Neill, is The Jack O'Neill II. A combination of every ship we've created with some modifications thanks to the Atlantis Database. It has the firepower of four of the type of ships we are in and can travel between Earth and the Asgard Homeworld in hyperspace in a matter of ten minutes."
O'Neill was mesmerized. There was no way the Cylons could defeat this ship. He turned back to the monitor to see Commander Adama onboard the Galactica.
"Commander Adama, on behalf of the entire planet, I welcome the Colonial Fleet to Earth."
