Okay this is just a short chapter, i'll get longer ones out soon.
LOCATION: Beta-Durani 1
SHIP: UEA Charleston
'My God, what just happened?' Captain Sheridan gasped. Just a few seconds earlier he had seen an entire fleet of Earths most powerful destroyers crippled then engulfed by an energy field and disappeared.
'I don't know sir, but their technology is far beyond us!' A sensors operator replied. 'Do we continue hailing?'
'Negative, set a course back to Babylon 5, we can't risk them attacking us too' Sheridan replied.
Mere seconds later a swirling vortex appeared and the UEA Charleston disappeared into hyperspace.
LOCATION: Beta-Durani 1
SHIP: Olympus
Zeraus watched as the remaining Earth ship disappeared into a swirling vortex and wondered exactly how these primitives could survive traveling through such a chaotic layer of space without enveloping themselves in a bubble of normal space. This thought quickly vanished as his chief science officer Tyrol entered the command center.
'You need to call a meeting of all the captains and the high council, immediately!' Tyrol gasped.
Zeraus bowed his head slightly in confirmation, he knew that such a meeting wasn't a trivial event and that Tyrol must have had something very important to contribute.
In a matter of minutes the 8 captains, Tyrol and a holo link back to their Earth had gathered in one of the larger conference rooms. The holographic representatives of the council sat at the head of the triangular table, while the captains sat on either side. Tyrol stood at the end of the triangle facing the council members directly.
'Why have we been summoned?' Heará asked.
Tyrol activated the holographic imager that lay at the heart of the triangular table and a map of the current star system appeared.
'As you know, we chose this dimension because it was completely different from our own. If we had chosen a dimension in which we, or the furlings existed, we would all succumb to Entropic Cascade Failure in a matter of days!' Tyrol announced.
'Yes but we have been here for almost a week and there has been no sign of Entropic Cascade Failure' Aidon of Orion 3 replied.
'Maybe not yet, but it will happen soon!' Tyrol announced.
'How can you be so sure' Zeraus asked.
'Because, these humans have an almost identical genetic structure to our own' Tyrol replied, at the same time his hand passed over a small crystal on his left hand causing the holographic display to change into that of a genetic strain. 'These humans are of the same race as us, and we have already seen evidence of genetically divergent duplicates among them' another pass over the crystal and several faces of humans appeared next to the faces of their Alterian counterparts. 'The genetic differences are keeping us apart at the moment, however in time those of us with copies in this universe will be destroyed'
'How long do we have?' Heará asked, clearly shocked at the prospect of leaving a dieing universe only to die in this new one.
'3 months at the most, we have already detected the collapse of our physiology on the subatomic level. We can extend the time with further genetic reconstruction, but eventually we will die'
'Not if we wipe out the humans of this universe!' Persiadine replied. Among all the council members Persiadine was the most militant, he had lived for millions of years and thus still remembered the days of battle between the Alterian and Ori before fleeing Avalon.
'But we are the invaders here. We cannot commit genocide, simply to survive, but I suggest we continue on our path to Ascension in this universe' Galandriel answered, another senior member of the great council, Galandriel was a pacifist, she believed in enlightenment and the path to ascension but she did not believe in the path that the Ori had taken to reach this end.
'Surely not all of us have doubles in this universe, how many would survive?' Ladon of the Orion 4 asked.
'Of the 320,000 of us in this universe I have detected that 75 percent of us will succumb. However the others will live on'
Heará stood from her seat, at the center of the council members 'Then they shall be recalled to our Earth, those that can stay shall stay to guide and protect the Furlings, while our own shall perish on Terra' she announced to a stunned people.
'Is there no other option?' Lando asked.
'Short of genocide, I think not. The device on Dakara has been set, it will cleanse our galaxy in a matter of months. Those that can will take the remaining city ships and leave for new galaxies to call their own, while those of us remaining on Earth shall perish.' Heará replied.
'And for those that are willing, we shall ascend' Galandriel announced surprising everyone as her body evaporated into a glowing cloud of energy. 'I shall give sanctuary to those that follow the path…' she announced before her holographic image dispersed leaving behind stargate coordinates on the main holographic projector.
Zeraus left the meeting and returned to the command center. Fortunately he was not one of those that would succumb, and as such he would be appointed by the council to lead those that successfully transitioned. The high council had opted to travel with the city ship Atlantis to the Pegasus galaxy, and a new council would be formed aboard Olympus with Zeraus at the head.
Shuttles that had recently deposited Furlings to the new planets were already on their way back to evacuate Olympus and transfer the affected Alterians back to Terra.
TBC
NOTE: This is taking place just before the shadow wars, i havent seen many of the B5 episodes after the first season but i have some idea of what happened from reading other fan fic's and because of this i wont be using the proper names of people from the show except for the main characters. Also, the dimensional gate works both ways so this is also going to explain how humans came to the Stargate Universe.
