do not own stargate... would have had atv show before now if i did...I have added to and flushed out the chapter a bit better, I was not happy with how short it was so I did some creative reworking to make it more realistic as well. next chapter we find out what happened to the 4500 combat personnel sent by the SGC!
Arcturus made his way to the engineering console and began modifying one of the dreadnoughts from the frankly pathetic armaments. 32 pulse defense turrets, 3 lagrange point weapons and 2 heavy drone launchers? Really? That's it? On a frickin dreadnought?
He began inputting commands to the console then he clicked a few blank spaces on the panel, and a prompt for code appeared. He entered his command codes and additional construction options appeared. He began by tripling the lagrange point beam weapons and making them three-barrelled tri-fire weapons. Then he added a few more point defense turrets upping their number to an even 100. He also placed an even number of rotating tri-barrel offensive pulse weapons totaling 90, thirty in each area; Forward, starboard, and port sides.
He looked over the sensor suites and armor configurations in disgust. He added in liquid-nano-reactive-plating on top of a liquid-nano-gel insulator with a tritonite naquadrium alloy for the inner hull. The armor could repair itself, or anything on the ship given enough time with the resources found in comets, asteroids, nebulae etc etc. he also added in backup antimatter reactors and augmented them with a two-slot potentia power station on top of the six neutrino generators in the base design. It could absorb incoming energy weapons and convert small amounts of it into usable energy with a conversion matrix, the temporal-quantum-disphasement field froze time around the ship allowing for extensive repairs in the middle of a battle. Their subspace communications systems were augmented and enhanced with a trilithic rotating radial dispersion wave that enabled instantaneous audio and visual communications between two points. In space regardless of distance by sending out a radial temporal pulse that froze time around the data stream as it moved allowing it to pass through space at infinite speed. His transphasic-multidimensional shield matrix (based on the Destiny explorer class solar shield matrix) could prevent matter transport or allow it without dropping the shields simply by tuning to the correct frequency. He finished his modification by adding in 8 primary sunlight drives, over 100 additional maneuvering jets and thrusters and 4 additional gyroscopic anti-gravitational field generators; making the dreadnought as maneuverable as a small freighter.
Zan elected for a Destroyer Class Heavy Cruiser. He moved all the weapons systems and began upgrading them to tri-barrel lagrange turrets. Bunching them up in large groups. A total of a dozen adorned his reinforced nano-plated self-repairing hull armor. Then he spaced out 64 pulse defense turrets. Mostly on the forward section, however he placed ten on each wing to provide a small degree of 360' fire. He added in two neutrino ion generators and two potentia power slots. He removed the additional shield capacitor and installed a stellar coronal matter power matrix (Destiny charging system) for augmented power. With his improved capacity he could store even more energy from any star. He then added in additional maneuvering jets and thrusters, as well as added four sublight engines for additional speed. He switched out the majority of the crew quarters and installed a hanger / repair bay for a dozen MK IV AI drone interceptor fighters. The Ai was old, but reliable and AlterOP proven. He also got an evil smirk and upgraded the circuitry to Lantean Crystals and installed a deployable primary offensive tri-pulse energy cannon (Destiny main weapon but upgraded to Lantean era specs).
Their modifications complete, Arcturus looked through the database to ensure the AlterOP subroutines were still being added into the ship building systems and they were. He grinned and input additional codes at his console as he brought up the secret system every lantean ship had. He upgraded them with the newer technology and locked them in using his command codes. That doine the hanger began rebuilding and modifying the ships as instructed. Arcturus also ordered the construction of 84 AlterOP modified Aurora cruisers. He gave them four times the hull armor as well as making it nano-reactive and self repairing. He added in stealth systems, an improved transphasic cloak, additional propulsion and maneuvering systems, enhanced shield matrixes, and such, for system defense and patrol. He ordered the bunker to begin producing clones and saw that the facility was still at only 45% power, the defense systems were holding but reinforcements were on the way. Already deep space sensors on Arcturus's cloaked ship had detected an additional 200 Hataak en route. Apparently the full might of the system lords was on its way as well. He needed troops. The system informed him at present capacity and usage because he had prioritised the defense systems, 15 tactical clones could be created, programmed and ready to go in 4 hours with knowledge downloads complete from repositories. After that the second batch and each batch after would contain 30 clones which would be produced every four hours as needed.
After Arcturus and Zan finished their respective modifications, Arcturus went over to the final command sequence and added in a color switch. Making the ships appear black with splashes of gold, red, and dark green veins. They looked mean and menacing. Their weapons loadout made them death-dealing and their special payloads (a single-use multi-trans-dimensional-quantum destabilizing particle generator. Which would allow a single particle beam shot or energy bomb to be deployed that would instantly demolecularize anything it hit regardless of shields, armor, or size. It could take out a single fighter, a base, a planet, or if set to maximum... an entire star system.) made them horrific weapons truly meant for one thing and one thing alone. War.
Still it would take time to modify all the ships and bring them all up to spec, and there were still more upgrades to make to the AlterOP systems. Then Atlantis was under attack so that had to be dealt with immediately. Using the neural interface arcturus checked the status of the cloning systems. Still only two batches done, that's 15 from the first then 30 from the second with another two hours until the next batch is ready. I've got ten on the reactors bringing them all to maximum output. He put another 10 on defense systems and five were assigned to bringing the out-of-phase AlterOP intelligence network back online. He then accessed the facility's long range subspace communications array and contacted the nox and asgard asking for a fleet escort from Dakara. He explained he had awakened a great many of his people but they needed help getting out safely. Even now the Goa'uld System Lords were receiving word of what had transpired and were preparing to strike a decisive blow against this unknown adversary who dared infringe upon the territories of their gods!
MEANWHILE IN THE SYSTEM ORANKU 3.94 LIGHT YEARS AWAY
SUPREME SYSTEM LORD RA COMMANDING SPACE STATION
SECTOR 001.67814 FLEET OPERATION COMMAND
The Council of the Supreme System Lords of the Goa'uld rarely had more then three members in the same place, let alone five. So this meeting of the full council was very rare and special indeed. Highlighting the sheer importance placed upon the topics needed to be discussed.
Ra the supreme leader of the Council spoke, his voice filled with witty malice promising pain to all who defied him; "I don't know who these Tau'ri think they are," Ra said the word 'Tau'ri' with disdain in his voice, "And I don't know how they snuck these weapons onto Dakara, make no mistake, we have commanded that site for over eight millenia, and found nothing. IF this technology had been there we would have known of it long ago. So we must strike hard. And we must strike with power, show them the folly of standing against us and wipe them from the planet!" The System Lords stalled upon hearing the rage from Ra, for Nine Millennia he had ruled them, always calm and always twelve steps ahead of his enemies. Now he sat enraged, his hosts face purpling and the body gasped for breath. His eyes normally cool and belying an intelligence to rival the greatest minds of the Asgard, now filled with madness and bloodlust. "HOW DARE THESE HEATHENS INFRINGE UPON MY HEAVENS! I SHALL SMITE THEM FROM THE STARS AND DEMAND THEIR BLOODS BLOOD FOR THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF THEIR FOREFATHERS FOR SIX GENERATIONS UNTIL I'M SATISFIED! THEY SHALL BREAK, CRY, BEG AND PLEAD TO THEIR GOD. AND I SHALL ANSWER THEM WITH PAIN! DEATH TO THE TAU'RI!" For all those present it was very apparent, Ra, the eldest and most feared of them all, had gone insane.
ONE WEEK LATER
The Planet Dakara was under a full blockade and constant bombardment by over 1400 Hataak from the collected Goa'uld system lords.
TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN OF GOA'ULD FORCES
HA'TAK CLASS MOTHERSHIP/CARRIERS - 1400
2000 AL'KESH BOMBERS/ TROOP TRANSPORTS
3500 DEATH GLIDER SQUADRONS OF 6 GLIDERS PER SQUADRON
GROUND FORCES 3 MILLION JAFFA
250,000 JAFFA MASTERS
250,000 DEDICATED ANTI-AIR
500,000 ARMORED ATTACK HOVER TRANSPORTS CREWED BY 4 JAFFA
500,000 INFANTRY TROOPS
Yet, despite bringing the full might of the Council and half of his own personal forces, they were unable to breach the shield that had appeared around an old temple on the surface. This alarmed and terrified most of them as they had held that planet for over ten millennia and never had they seen any hint of this technology, despite Ra's urging that the Tau'ri had to have smuggled it all here somehow, his inability to explain how, had made them skeptical. And the sheer capability had them doubting it was the Tau'ri as he claimed. Not even the Asgard had shields that could stand up to this kind of fire power. The beaches and land around the shield had been blasted by so much plasma it had turned into a shiny glass. It reflected the golden dome and shimmered with the lights as the plasma bursts struck unendingly flashing from across the surface of the now molten again glass. Truly a beautiful sight, if any could live through seeing it.
As they had blockaded the planet a large complex had wavered into existence seemingly built as part of the temple and hidden. How, they knew not. All attempts to communicate had failed. Attempts to breach it by land had been... disastrous. Many Jaffa had died both during the attack, and for its failure. On the largest ship there, the size of a small asteroid, was RA, the Supreme System Lord. Aboard his flagship Sun's Chariot he observed the ongoing attack and howled in rage at their defiance. Then his First Prime spoke up. "Sir, we are receiving a message. Audio only." The message played over the ships PA: "False Gods; For too long you have run amok and rampant. Left to enslave, torture and kill the innocent and defenseless. No longer. Your tyranny is at an end. Surrender or be wiped out. There will be no negotiation. No talk. No deals. Surrender or death. Anu An Quietus An Quietus. We are the Ancient of the Ancients. We are RETURNED!"
Ra felt his host body go white, as the blood drained from his face in terror. Anu an quietus. We are the ancients. It was not possible. Suddenly from beneath the shield part of the facility opened to reveal a large hangar and many very large ships launching.
The goa'uld were in complete disarray. This explained it all. The strength of the technology, their inability to comprehend it. If the ancients had truly returned...
Then Ha'tak began exploding. Ra was thrown forward by an explosion as the Ha'tak around him exploded, shockwaves buffeting his ship threw him around his peltak. He stood and made his way to the command console. Grabbing the console he directed power to the shields and fired all his weapons at the approaching fleet. Only to gaze in wonder, surprise and abject terror as a glistening silver city encased in a silvery dome appeared and took every hit before purple energy fire was returned and large chunks of his ship dephased and rematerialised in the wrong place or out of alignment causing hull ruptures and catastrophic system failure. Ra was thrown to his knees as the whole ship, what was left of it, shook and rocked from explosions he ran to his throne and threw himself into it. He smashed a small button and popped out a hidden panel. Quickly he typed in a code and his throne chair began shifting. In a few moments it appeared like a small pod, then closed itself off and as the Pel'tac exploded, it launched as a small ion engine propelled it away from the wreckage. He fired the emergency hyperdrive and his last vision before the blue of hyperspace and darkness of hypersleep, was his mighty fleet being decimated by small silver ships as well as an Asgard fleet arriving. As more ships launched from the surface taking up escort and atack positions; The Goa'uld hierarchy were in serious trouble indeed.
