Chapter 11: The legacy of the gods
Location: Milky Way galaxy Earth, Colorado U.S, Cheyenne Mountain Complex, SGC.

Activity around the SGC had become frantic specially in anticipation of the proposed mission to try to establish contact with the newcomers that apparently for all intended purposes had seemed to jump right out of most of the staff's favorite films without a good explanation. The crack jokes about meeting Han Solo and taking a ride on the millennium falcon were the order of the day. But they under lied the apprehension they all felt about the whole thing. If the Star Wars civilization was real after all and they turned out to be the bad guys. to say they would face a formidable foe was a serious understatement and they all knew it.
As O'Neal sat to eat his lunch with Carter & Teal'c they noticed everybody's eyes on them! O'Neal finally having enough of it speaks out "OK! I'm only going to say this once, everybody here either speak their minds now or vacate the food court. We are not part of a store display"
One soldier from one SG teams spoke "Are we to speak freely sir"
"That's the idea lieutenant"
"What happens if they indeed turn to be from a civilization like in Star Wars and they are the bad guys! And worst what if they have weapons like the Death Star and such"
"Well I'm not much of an egg-head here but I think if you mean that big ball thingy they blew up planets with, it's just a little tad too big to fit in the StarGate! Don't you? Anyone"
Carter followed up "First of all; we don't know who this people really are except that they kind of look like those aliens seen in those movies. That does not imply that they are! And until we send the MALP tomorrow morning, all we can do is speculate and that doesn't help anyone specially if painting scenarios like the Death Star coming around. As General O'Neal said it would never fit through the StarGate"
O'Neal finished off "So anyone else have anymore questions? Good! Now either finish your meals or vacate the food court! Oh and anybody stares again and the next they'll be staring at will be the toilets that they'll be cleaning with their toothbrushes, Understand"
With that everybody finished their meals and left as soon as they did without staring at either O'Neal and the members of SG-1 anymore.
O'Neal chuckled "It's turning into a circus out here. I hope we get some answers from that probe tomorrow"
Teal'c interjected "What do you think we will find about them"
"I don't know... But I have a bad feeling about all this! Don't tell anyone that I do, OK"
They both responded in unison "Yes Sir!"

Tenel Ka made a hard break to left to dodge a few Staff-Weapon blasts coming her way.
Other blasts made their marks into the first hapless stormtroopers that were closing in to the ship. Others just scraped their personal boosters which caused them to loose control in some and lose power and continue adrift in others.
Shaken from their initial surprise. Finally the remaining stormtroopers began firing back at the Jaffa in the EVA suits blasting them with deadly efficiency. They had the advantage in both firepower and rate of fire. The staff weapons took a little longer than blasters between shots Still being caught in the middle of a firefight in space with barely nothing more to protect you from hard vacuum than your EVA suit was no fun. Tenel Ka realized this as she heard the sounds of those gasping for air as their suits ruptured by being grazed by a blast. It was a grievous situation and she needed to remedy it as soon as possible. She kicked her personal booster into full throttle and hurl into the Jaffa wearing the EVA suits firing the personal booster blaster continuously slicing most of them to ribbons. It was truly a ghastly sight as some body pieces drifted away in space.
Little by little the firefight died down until it finally abated. Tenel Ka shouted orders through her comlink again "Let's get ready to board her everyone, keep arms at the ready. its obvious this people are not playing games and neither are we, so shoot first and ask questions latter"
"Aye"
They all proceeded to the nearest dock in the vessel in order to board it

Padme Mara Skywalker stood transfixed while she watched her brother duke it out in a practice lightsaber match with their cousin Jacen. The lightsabers hummed and sizzled as they made contact with each other neither her brother or her cousin were giving an inch. All of a sudden her senses went into full alert as she ignited her lightsaber and bounced a few bolts from a trainer pod that Jacen had activated using the force.
Jacen spoke not missing a beat on his duel with his other cousin Ben "I though you were gone there for a minute my dear"
"Very funny Jacen! I'm paying attention to your match with my brother. I was not divagating"
"Good! You both need to remember to always be alert"
Ben interjected "You always speak too much Jacen, we are as alert and ready as we'll ever be!"

"Really? Are you now"
All of a sudden both Ben and Padme found themselves under a storm of blasts coming from multiple training pods that Jacen had again activated using the force. Padme was able to dodge and deflect a few but was overwhelmed. Ben had a harder time since he was concentrating on his fight with Jacen when he felt two training pod blasts hit his back he ducked to avoid a second blast and the swing of Jacen's lightsaber then he side stepped to the right dodging and deflecting additional blasts until he was too overwhelmed by the barrage from the training pods. Crouching on the floor Ben stretches his hand upward and calling up all the power from the force he could muster fries the engines of the training pods that then dropped to the floor clattering around them.
Jacen which had remained silently watching the spectacle he had created with amusement finally speaks "You both still need to learn to anticipate, class dismissed"
Ben stood and walked toward his sister that was getting up as well "Are you all right"
"I'm fine Ben its just trainer bolts" she answered back with a hint of anger and disappointment in her voice Jacen started to walk out of the practice room then stopped and said "I can feel your anger Ben! When you are ready I will teach you both how to use it properly" again he resumes to walk until he reaches the exit and disappears from their view. Padme spoke "What was all that about"
"He is trying to push us into the dark side sis! that's what it's about!" Ben replied sourly

Immediately after boarding the vessel Tenel Ka and her team proceeded deeper into the ship virtually unopposed a translator miniature droid shouted orders to the hostiles that may had remained on board to surrender or perish. After a moment of silence a few Jaffa came out surrendering, still others tried to repel them without success. Tenel Ka was growing weary of the carnage and she realized that unless she found a way for all the remaining Jaffa she would have to slaughter almost all of them. She suddenly remembered the first broadcast from the vessel that identified the maximum authority as a god! It was no wonder then they would fight so fiercely! She had to convince them that the entity that was in charge was anything but a god and given how the battle had been so overwhelmingly in her favor she decided to use it as a propaganda weapon. She addressed the miniature translator droid "Link up with the ship's internal comm. system and translate the following, to all warriors and their brave commander. I know that you are fighting for your so called god, but if he is a god as he claims. then where is his power? Shouldn't a god have the power to single handedly smite us like a bug? Despite our losses we've had the upper hand all along and you all know that! So I now challenge your god to either smite us out of existence to prove his godhood to all! If he can't then he is no more a god than any of you or me"
As she threw her challenge she felt the rage of the entity within the ship increase but this time with a hint of fear and self doubt. 'So you are fearful of your own mortality after all' she thought to herself and then went on "I can sense the fear in your so called god, look at him and tell me he is not cowering right now!"

Kalibos was getting anxious and could not hide how he felt to his first prime that looked at him with a mixture of sudden surprise and disgust Kalibos shouted a desperate order "Wipe the infidel strangers from this ship and from the surface of that planet I command it!" The first prime responded fiercely "Why don't you do it yourself and why are you so afraid? The Stranger's leader is right! You are no god! "
"You dare defy me? Sholva!" With that Kalibos activated his hand held concussion blast weapon and sent the first prime hurtling through the air 6 feet away, as he tried to recover Kalibos approached him and used his finger torture weapon on him "You will suffer a thousand deaths Sholva!" but as Kalibos did he was enveloped by the energy signature of a zat-gun being discharged. Kalibos dropped senseless to the floor. A junior Jaffa officer had fired the weapon when he realized too that Kalibos was no more a god than he or anyone was. He helped the first prime to stand. The first prime issued an order through the internal comm. "To all Jaffa this battle is over and we are surrendering this vessel to the strangers, Kalibos is defeated and being proven not to be a god"
The translator droid gave the corresponding translation in Basic and cheers were heard from the boarding party they had won the day even though at a price!
Tenel Ka transmitted a message to the camp in the surface "Attention off-galaxy team the boarding party has been successful we have secured the alien vessel! Relay message to Yavin station"
The camp burst into cheers as they heard the news! "Aye Milady!"

In the meantime the young officer aimed his zat gut at the unconscious form of Kalibos but the first prime stopped him "No, lets give him to the strangers so they do to him as they wish, humiliation is a far worse faith than death"
The young officer responded "Agreed"
Tenel Ka and her boarding party entered the bridge to meet the first prime that stood next to what looked like an unconscious male human but Tenel Ka sensed immediately that this human housed the terrible entity she felt all along. The first prime was accompanied by what looked like a junior officer.

Tenel Ka ordered to take bio scans One of the members of the boarding party began to take scans "Milady this human is under the control of some parasite located in his brain stem"
"That explains the duality I felt about him, but how could he be human"
"Perhaps we will more answers from their databases, they seem to be intact"
"Do so"
"Aye, were on it!" The first prime bowed his head slightly in respect toward Tenel Ka but the Junior officer kneeled before her and spoke "Are you a god? one of the ancient gods"
Tenel Ka once again use the miniature translator droid and ordered it to translate as she tenderly approached the young man and raised him to standing position. Get up, You don't need to bow down before me! I am no more a god than you are!"

Jaina Solo had felt that through the force that something had transpired on the boarding attempt of the Alien ship in that distant galaxy that Tenel Ka and her team were working on the Ships Gate project. However because of the huge distance and timeline differential she did not know what and that in turn made her pace about anxiously finally the device once again activated and as soon as the wormhole appeared a transmission was received. The comm. Officer interrupted the silence that until now had permeated the control room "Mistress Jaina we are receiving a Holo-Signal is definitely from the off-galaxy team!" "Put it through!" Jaina demanded, the communications officer complied and a hologram of Tenel Ka appeared in the middle of the room.
"This is the off-galaxy team, we have secured the alien ship, repeat we have secured the alien ship, can you read me?" "We read you Tenel Ka, loud and clear" Jaina responded followed by cheers from those that were in the control room. She quelled down the cheering by raising her hand and continued her conversation "What have you been able to learn so far?" "Well the leader of the ship believe it or not is a parasite that has been using a human being as a host probably for an extremely long time." "A human being in that galaxy? How is that even possible?" "It gets more interesting the soldiers this parasite or simbiote had at his command are humanoids with pouches in their stomachs and each carry one of this creatures also but the creatures don't seem to be mature just yet, this humanoids in fact may have also been genetically altered humans just for that purpose obviously a very long time ago." "Have your team being able to extract anything out of their computer databases? It might clear some of these mysteries." "They are already working on it. It will take a little while for our computers to translate everything into Basic at least a few hours" "Ok, keep me posted, be safe and may the force be with you!" "And with you"
