Chapter 25

The New World

It was the following morning when a young boy wobbled a little as he climbed down the steps of a muggle flying thing. He pulled off the helmet to reveal a wide grin on his face as some guy took the helmet from him. He was wearing an all-in-one green-grey suit they gave him for his ride. He ran his right hand through his brownie-red hair and found he couldn't stop grinning as he finally made it to his big sister, Rosette.

He had been given to his big brother – well; Harry and not Terry, a while back, but secretly he was a little pleased. He doubted Terry would have taken half the care of him that Harry did. Though, he hated to admit it, Harry did look after him well. Then best of all, Kalam had met Éclair, and felt his heart constrict just thinking about her. Kalam couldn't believe he had fallen in love with a mermaid, and she was amazing, and he had to thank his brother, Harry, but didn't know how. Harry loved, him; he knew that; he wasn't stupid, but kalam knew he wasn't supposed to love Harry or half-breeds, but he did anyway, especially as he leant truths he tried to ignore; that he didn't want to hear, and seeing their mum, as she held him in her arms and begged him to forgive her, but she was too distraught to say more than that.

Harry had actually arranged Kalam's ride in the muggle machine. At first, Kalam had been reluctant, and a little scared, but watching them fly on the TV was quite incredible. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, but now. He couldn't believe how cool that muggle thing was, and now had a new dream. He no longer wanted to be an auror like Terry (when he was not playing quidditch), and now wanted to be a fighter pilot.

It had to be the coolest job in the world, and the jet was faster than any broom or Sky Sled, and best yet could travel higher than any wizard could go. He was not stupid though. He knew Harry was trying to win him over, but not once had Harry been angry with him, and thinking back, he did not think Harry had ever been angry with him.

They said that his dad had committed a crime against his mother, and Rose said that Dumbledore was involved. He just couldn't bring himself to believe that the Great Professor Dumbledore was the bad guy. Though, he couldn't wait to see his mum again; he dreaded that day too in case it was true and she really hated his dad, and told him his dad was a villain, but he already, deep down knew that out of everyone in his family, Harry, Harry of all people had never once lied to him, and the horror, and sadness on his face when he told Kalam the truth – Kalam couldn't doubt him, but tried his hardest to pretend.

Kalam shook those thoughts away as they were depressing, and he joined Rose, and she smiled at him. "Did you enjoy your ride Kally?" she asked smilingly.

He glare-pouted at her. "I told you not to call me that. You don't like anyone calling you Rosie, except for Harry, and I don't like being called Kally by anyone," he complained mock sulking.

She just laughed, "I let Luna and Ginny call me Rosie too," she said smirkingly while rolling her eyes as the pilot came over, ruffling Kalam's hair.

"So, what did you think, kid? Have a good time?" he asked.

"Yeah," he said blushing. "T-thanks, Coronal Mitchel," he said with a smile on his face. "I think… I think that I want to become a pilot when I am old enough. It's so awesome."

Cam laughed shaking his head. "Maybe when you're older you'll pilot something… a lot bigger than a little jet like that. I hear your brother has an even better treat in store for you, next."

"Yeah, what is it?" he asked eagerly, forgetting he was supposed to hate Harry. Though, thinking about it his dad would never give him such brilliant treats on vacation. "I doubt anything can be better than flying in the fighter. It goes so fast, and so high. I never knew people had ever gone that high before."

Cam just laughed as he pulled out a comm. from inside his flight suit. "Prometheus, this is Coronel Cameron Mitchel, three to teleport."

"This is the Prometheus, roger that," came the quick reply. "Standby, three, two, one, teleports engaged…"

In a swish of white light, they disappeared only to reappear in another swish of white light in a small grey coloured room on some kind of platform where a man sat at a console wearing a blue uniform.

"W-where are we?" Kalam stuttered out looking to his sister, but he could see she looked just as surprised as he was.

"I… I don't know," she answered looking confused.

"Come on, follow me," Cam said smirking as he led the confused kids out of the room and through several corridors and passed loads of men and women in the same blue uniforms before they entered a large 'room'. It housed loads of consoles and people in it including Harry and Daphne, though Daphne was leaning up against a window still staring out with her mouth hanging open.

"Harry, what are we…?" Rose said while he smirked at her. She trailed off as she saw it out of the window. The planet, her planet, the Earth.

"Welcome to the Earth Space Battleship Prometheus!" Harry said as Rose and Kalam rushed from Cam to the window next to Daphne to stare out at the Earth from orbit. "So, what do you guys think?"

"Whoa… it's so beautiful…" Rose whispered in wide-eyed awe.

"It's so small," Kalam added. "I… I mean… everyone in the Magical World treats the world like its huge, but really… its tiny… really tiny. Looking at it from here makes me wonder why… why You-Know-Who cares about hating… I mean… left to them… humans would have never seen t-this," he said in amazement as he had thought the jet went high.

Harry startled him by placing his hands on his shoulders with a reassuring smile. "It's okay… it is small, but that isn't all the universe has to offer. The universe is huge and teaming with life. Humans live all over the known universe, and I think that sometime in the future you'll get to visit other worlds and understand that we shouldn't ever hide in a corner like the Magical World has done."

Kalam looked to his brother, awed. "You can't buy me, you know?"

"I know," he answered smirking. "And I'm pleased to hear it! I just want you to graduate with good grades and make something of yourself! If you follow moronic magical rules and laws, you're practically walking around the Earth with your eyes shut, such a small world of many small worlds, but all has vast secrets and pleasures, and wonders as far as the eye can see."

"Looking at the grand scheme of things," Daphne spoke looking thoughtful as she smiled at Kalam, and ruffled his hair affectionately to his embarrassed chagrin. "Dumbledore and Voldemort," she paused, as the kid flinched having NEVER spoke the Dark Lords name before. "They just don't seem that significant anymore. If anything, they just seem small and petty, foolish and pointless when they… we could reach the stars."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever," Harry interrupted their deep thinking with a laugh, kissing his brother and sister on the cheek each to their embarrassment, and stealing Daphne's lips for a moment. "I mean you're on a freaking space ship, and you're all googly eyed over looking out at your home planet? Come on guys, prioritize!" he said as he rushed over and took the captains seat and grinning while Cam grabbed the helm, and the rest of the bridge crew got to their stations.

"Okay, Coronel Mitchel!" Harry said grinning wider. "Set a course for Mars, one quarter thrust," he said as the ship started pulling out of orbit.

"Coordinates set, Pretend Captain Evans!" he replied smirking as he used the control panel.

"Okay, set Hyper-Jump," Harry continued while his family watched confused, but Harry just looked excited as Cam gave him a nod. "Engage," he said with a point of his finger.

The ship did nothing for a less than second while Daphne, Kalam and Rose looked back out of the windows. Then it was as if they were blasting through a stream of blue lights for a moment when it stopped, their mouths were hanging wider than before.

"Pull into high Mars orbit," Harry said as he looked out at the alien (yet lifeless) world. "Now what do you think Kalam?" he asked his little brother.

Kalam was speechless for a moment before turning to his smirking brother. "I might have been wrong, because you just bought me. You are the coolest big brother in the history of big brothers!"

"Hey, tell me something I don't know!" he replied smugly. "After all, first I beat Terry at his own game, and then, I'm the reason you find yourself a cute girlfriend," he said causing his brother further embarrassment, "then I get you a ride on a fighter jet, and in a Top-Secret Earth Space Battleship."

"You finished playing with my ship yet?" asked an older man sitting bored at a side console wearing a blue uniform with captain pips, and red stripes over his shoulders. "Seriously, there's this new show starting in an hour and we get very bad TV reception this far from the Earth, and I still can't figure out this on-demand service stuff. But why is it that we get perfect reception on all the crap channels, but the good ones we don't? it's like the most popular radio stations all use a crap signal frequency that need a super-radio, and even then…!"

"Don't ask me," Harry said shrugging. "I use cable… oh wait I own that company… well... it's not really cable when its wireless, uses ZPE systems, and most people just use it for the internet, and streaming services, but I do keep dropping prices to keep cheaper than other Network Media," he sighed with a dreamy smile. "Running them into the ground makes me almost as happy as when I'm alone with Daphne!"

"What about me?" Rose asked sadly.

Harry rose an eyebrow. "Well, if you weren't my sister, maybe…" he said with a smirk as she and Daphne realised what he meant and blushed brightly, together, and pouted cutely side by side. "Well, let's go home, oh… umm… this whole thing with the ship has to be kept secret," he said as he let the captain take his seat back and the ship slowly turned back towards the Earth, as Harry wrapped his Daphne and his sister lovingly within his arms, where they gave in, and hugged him back.

It was nearing the end of March, just another day after kicking the ten barrels of crap out of Dumbledore and his order. It was a shame the jerks escaped, but they were humiliated, and didn't get passed reception of the Texas Nergal HQ, as they must have traced, Harry through Kalam's school records, and had no choice but to increase security around his brother until the peanut gallery were in jail. It was really quite odd how they just wouldn't get a clue, and they had even roped in the UK Ministry, and MACUSA into helping them.

Harry had already made sure that the US President, and the Pentagon were secure, and put out protection on State Leaders. It was a little amusing thinking about how pathetic they were. They came with some very undertrained men and women and found several teams of trained US Marines, and some of the wizards sadly lost their lives, but they should have thought about that before they attacked.

Harry had to wonder what kind of motive they had for fighting the world's evolution. Heck, for all anyone knew, magical powers or natural control of Zero Point Energy could have originated from an alien race, and he was almost certain it did. Well, it was their problem if they were still morons, but he figured he might break in to see the US President of MACUSA to get some answers, and try to talk some sense into him.

However, right then, Harry was with Samantha Carter both dressed in military uniforms (his is dark blue, and considered civilian) in his secret research facility under the building with many techies in white lab coats with many machines, computers, wires, and many other things hooked up to the open (spare) Stargate with a newly designed dialling device. It was more advanced than the one he created for the SGC's Stargate as he had a little more time to build it. The research chamber they were in was massive, and went on for around a few miles around, with 'portable' trailers with desks and computers, to work in some comfort and privacy, and a few set up with bathrooms, toilets, showers, and a cafeteria in one corner like a building built in the building, so people had to ride ZPE bicycles to get from place to place, as walking would be too tedious.

Though, they had not actually dialled out, but while experimenting got a dial in, and they had already installed an Iris to shield them just in case of a potential scenario where they opened an incoming wormhole. It was a possibility they couldn't risk so put in security protocols. Though, this iris was made out of a golden coloured metal they named mithril, kind of taking liberties, but it did fit on the periodic table, as the strongest metal on the planet, even off it. The Stargate was clamped in and held up with ramp leading to the mouth, and large building rolling back behind them, with glass windows, and rows upon rows of seats and desks.

Military soldiers were quick to enter the EVoNet 'Gate Room' from a massive security office to the right, that had its own elevators and stairs leading up, and with rooms and dorms for military to sleep, and its own mess just for them to eat, and aiming EvoTech rifles at the Stargate, at the ready. The scientists were quick in allowing other soldiers to escort them out, and into the secure Command Centre, while Harry and Carter used the Dialling Network System, hoping for an IDC. The code that proved it was an incoming ally.

"Receiving an IDC," Carter said after a few moments of worry. "It's… Atlantis, but that doesn't make much sense…! Atlantis would have hailed us straight away," she said as she looked back to a shielded screen where a small work crew stayed and were working. "Open a communication link."

"Communication link open with Atlantis!" a techy called out. "But it's not stable… it seems something is blocking our outgoing signal."

"Atlantis, this is Coronel Samantha Carter of the SGC, come in Atlantis!" she called out over the light hisses of static. "Come in Atlantis!?" she asked out again. "This is the Nergal, EVoNet Stargate, please come in…"

"T… is Atlantis…" came the fuzzy broken reply. "… repeat… do not open, Iris…! Wraith… do … open… orbit…"

Harry nodded as he pressed a few buttons and everyone was startled as the Iris opened and the gate shutdown only to start dialling at speed that even Samantha was surprised by, as the dials didn't dial, as he had mithril clamps over each address key, and they glowed as they clamped and unclamped into order, light spinning and stopping at the closed clamps, as they dialled Atlantis's address, before opening a new wormhole in a boom of blue watery light splashing out of the gate and pulling back, stable into a watery energy mirror of blue-white.

"Are we getting a broken signal now?" Harry asked the tower while Sam stared in stupefied awe that this was human technology.

"Yes, and we detect no iris the other side either," a techy answered.

Harry grinned. "Okay," he laughed as he started using his console fast while Sam watched looking confused, as he sent a constant ping single through the wormhole. "We have a link to that other gate, how amusing… so this is a Wraith ship. Its computers security is rather lacklustre. Let's see now, engines, huh… now, with the gate, mana override, gate… shutdown… there… that should do it," he said as he pressed one last button the gate shutdown only to redial again. "Atlantis, this is Nergal Stargate Research, come in. I've shutdown their gate."

"This is Atlantis," a man's voice said as Harry reengaged the iris. "How the hell did you just… what was that," he added, obviously speaking to someone else as a holo-screen popped up to show the man and crew in the field of vision. "What do you mean the Wraith ship just tried to activate the Stargate in orbit again and blew up?"

"I… I mean just that… the engines seemed to have just overloaded, and…" she shrugged looking at her console screen. "The Stargate is the only thing that survived and it's just floating in orbit, shall I have it retrieved?"

"Yes," he agreed frowning. "But just overloading shouldn't have blown up the ship, should it?" he asked baffled and completely ignoring Harry and Carter.

"Normally no," Harry interrupted. "However, their ships security was lacking, and they had the Stargate plugged in. Therefore, it was rather simple for me to hack the gate, and engines… we've been having some rather good results while playing with our Stargate. Their ship was surprisingly easy to hack with the connection. However, I also modified a few gate codes. The gate would send out an overload command to the engines while trying to dial out anywhere. Remember that gate to a blackhole – well – turns out its still working, and kaboom, goes the Wraith, but on a plus note, with the new mithril iris's, places like that won't be a bother for us using EVoNet system scanners on the inside of the shielding as Mithril is rather good to the job, we don't have to worry about that sort of things again, but I'm afraid that, what I did likely blew that missing Stargate into oblivion, with the Wraith ship."

"Wow, that's quite the feat," another man appeared. "Mr. Evans, I'm Rodney McKay, it's a pleasure to meet you. I understood that you were working on the gate reprograming project, and with using this new metal, but I wasn't aware you were so far into it this early on."

"Yeah, we've also been trying to come up with a… well caller ID system, now, so the iris would just be an added security measure," Harry answered with a grin, "maybe take claim over all known Stargates that don't have a government military protecting it, in which case we could open massive trade route through the galaxy. I aim to make life easier, so that in the near future the SGC can just come clean and become public. Maybe if our people can see how small we really are it will give them some prospective, and allow us to help all those humans in the galaxy whose ancestors were abducted and enslaved, find their way home, even if they never visit the Earth…"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," another guy pushed McKay out of the way. "John Sheppard, nice to meet you… I hear you created some… cool things you call Sky Sleds, so do you think you can get us some?"

"And instruction manuals," Rodney added looking worried at the thought.

Harry shrugged. "Umm… sure, I guess. We did get the SGC some, so I guess we'll get some prepared and sent over. Though, that's not as cool as a Stargate Network of Commerce, and Trade."

"Do you people mind?" the Commander interrupted them rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Coronel Carter, how and why exactly did your gate answer?"

"Accident," she replied shrugging. "The other Earth gate was open at the time, and we were running some simulations, and Harry did something, which grabbed the wormhole…"

"I patched it through to the second line," Harry answered sheepishly.

Sam just looked at the data and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed as that telephone analogy fit rather well. "It is quite odd knowing two gates are open at once… oh, and General O'Neill is calling," she added putting him on holo-screen. "General…?"

"So… both gates working at the same time now?" he asked as he seemingly nodded to the Commander of Atlantis.

"No," Harry answered shrugging. "However, while your gate is open, we can answer the second incoming wormhole rather than letting it… hang up on us with that annoying missed call logo in the banner, and then having to wait for them to call back, or return the call… and…"

"Do we need all of these telephone references?" Daniel Jackson asked as the screen widened to show the rest of SG1.

Jack just looked at him. "Yes," he said seriously. "It means we all understand what they're talking about, and not just you brainiacs," he said returning his attention to his screens.

"I hear you there," Sheppard agreed rolling his eyes. "I mean, I'm all for gadgets and new tech, but when these smart guys start being too technical, I get lost."

"Like your brains about to explode?"

"Yeah, that's exactly how it feels."

"Me too…"

"Okay, enough," Commander Richard Woolsey interrupted. "Do any of us have any business now that the problem with the Wraith has been sorted?"

"Oh… umm… no…" Harry said looking thoughtfully. "Though, I've been reading up on different worlds, or more specifically the Asgard, and I was wondering Jack. Do you think they would mind if I popped over there, looked around and took some scans of their dodgy DNA? I kind of feel sorry for the little twerps, as they seem like rather nice guys, and we don't want to lose any of the nice guys in the universe if we can help it with all the douchey ones around. I figured it wouldn't hurt to see whether I could potentially help in some way."

"You could open a wormhole to the Asgard?" they all asked together.

Harry just shrugged looking a little baffled. "Well, yeah, that's simple. It only needs more power, like… hmm… right now to gate to the Tok'ra, we just use a little Honda, one of the cute, tiny three door hatchbacks. Now, to open the gate to Atlantis we use a Sports Car, like a Ferrari or maybe a muscle car like a Mustang, before they made them out of cheap plastic, but to gate to the Asgard we hope in our F14 fighter."

"See, he knows how to explain stuff," Jack said with a grin. "Sam, why can't you and Daniel speak more like that? You have to end up saying things maybe two or three times anyway, and still, you don't go straight for the simple explanation."

"He isn't giving the simple explanation," Sam said rubbing her brow. "He's giving us the idiot's explanation."

"Works for me," Sheppard said shrugging.

"Me too," Cam piped in while Jack nodded in agreement.

Harry just laughed. "Well, Sam and I have work to do. We'll be in contact, and I'll have some of those Sky Sleds shipped over to Atlantis. Do you want someone to give instruction too? I think Jack can spare someone from one of his fodder teams."

"I told you to stop calling them that," Sam hissed in annoyance.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Well, they should stop getting killed. I seriously think we need to overhaul SGC front liners."

"Well later," Jack said chuckling as Sam went off in some kind of rant, Atlantis signing off too while Harry shutdown the gate.

"Okay, okay, I won't call them fodders anymore," Harry said sulking as the gate started redialling and the iris disengaged. "Well, I'll be back in a bit," he said picking up a black forearm gauntlet with screen, and clamped it to his wand holster on his left arm. "Hmm… they have some kind of energy shield over their gate, let's see... now it's off…" he said smiling as he finished at the console.

"You can't just walk onto Asgard without calling first," she said as if he might listen to her. "We have an Asgard working on the Daedalus."

"Hmm… oh, don't worry too much. Do you think I could hack their gate defence that fast?" he said looking at her and shrugging. "Anyway, the Daedalus is not in our galaxy, and is doing whatever, pissing off the Wraith or something, and I want to see Asgard anyway!" he said smirking as he just ran through the Stargate without a thought.

Sam exited straight after him having grabbed an EvoTech blaster looking around, as she was curious herself, and figured she could just blame Harry for any potential interplanetary incidents.

"Whoa…" Sam muttered looking around to see the large room. It just looked advanced, in pale colours. Looking out of the window at the huge city with massive Asgard ships seemingly parked at skyscrapers, her mouth dropped open in awe and the enormity of it and wondered how long until Earth could do something so fantastical.

"Yeah, whoa…" Harry said nodding in agreement. "I mean this is seriously awesome," he added as the gate closed behind them. "Come on, let's go take a look around," he said walking to the door as he played with his gauntlet, the door opened. "I think the computer knows to let us through doors now… rather kind of them."

Sam groaned while following Harry and looking around. Jack had tried describing it, but never mentioned that it was quite beautiful. "It's… oddly beautiful," she commented as they wandered around. "I wonder what they do for entertainment."

"Over the years we have grown out of such needs," they were interrupted and there was two Asgard holding weapons flanking a third who held a tablet like device.

"You're Thor," Harry stated as a picture holo-screen came up showing his file. "A scientist trying to save your race without going the way of Loki and doing illegal experiments on humans…"

"I find it odd that a human is so adept that he could recognise me from a mere photograph," he answered sounding a little impressed. "Even to my race we have lost so many individual physical differences that even we can get confused."

"Hey, I'm awesome, what can I say," Harry answered, smiling. "You got a nice house here, and little tech happy, but I like it. Do you guys still use currency because I would love to expand onto your planet?"

"Evans," Sam hissed elbowing him in the ribs. "Stop messing around, I don't think you want to reintroduce the corporate world to a highly advanced alien race."

"Okay already," he answered rubbing his ribs as he turned a sheepish smile to the baffled Asgard. "The names Harry Evans from the planet Earth… I'm not officially here as a reprehensive of Terra, but more my own curiosity. If I may, I would like to scan you. I have invented some quite brilliant medical technology, and it could be possible for me to undo the messed-up DNA damage!"

Thor gestured for his guards to lower their weapons as he stepped forward, curious, looking at the female human. "You are a friend and ally of Jack O'Neill? Samantha Carter?"

"Yes, I'm sorry about Harry, but he is… quit the visionary," she replied sheepishly.

Thor looked back to Harry with his large eyes. "You were rather close to disabling our gate shield, but the gates auto-shutdown would have engaged before your computer finished, so I let you through, curious as to how humans had the power to dial this far," he said with a curious look up at Harry before he continued. "Hmm… you are an odd human, Harry Evans; just looking at you I see a powerful mind. Please, if you wish to scan me; you may do so."

"Sweet," Harry answered as he pulled out his wand from her holster on his right arm under the new attachment. He lowered himself as he muttered some spells (well, just told her what to do). The wand lit up a holo-screen, and Harry read the data over quite thoroughly. "Wow, this is weird… let's see… hmm… oh, I see, you're missing some genetic coding from cloning clones, which was rather silly of you… hmm… I have an idea…"

"You do?" Thor asked, confused, as he looked round at the readout of the device.

"Of course, it's obvious," Harry answered with a nod. "When you're cloning, you're using the same genetic profile over and over again. It's the same with human inbreeding… there's nothing different to evolve with… evolution happens because of the diversity of coding, and your environment. It's like with a computer, if you try to use a computer to open doors that was only codded to turn on the lights, the doors may open, but are you going to trust them to not close on you?"

"I believe we may be too far gone for this to do more than extend our lives a little more," he answered, though, as it was only an extension, he was very impressed with the answer, as he scrolled through the hologram with his long grey fingers.

"Ahh… but that's where we add in another species or two to seal in the gaps," Harry answered in thought. "Looking at the readout, all we would need is non-wizard DNA, and… hmm… didn't expect that… seriously… dragon DNA… now that's a new one, but its… dragon blood has a stabilising property, so it only makes sense that dragon DNA could potentially hold up Asgard and Human DNA."

"We could use this creatures DNA to be able to recreate?" Thor asked looking thoughtful, as he looked over the screen, he gently moved it closer and scrolled through some of the data with large black eyes, awed with the discovery.

Harry looked at Thor and stepped back shaking his head. "No, your race has to die," he said shocking them. "But I can help your children live," he said getting befuddled stares, though to them that was a difficult feat. "I mean… one more cloning session and that's it. If this works, you will be a new race able to naturally procreate! We don't have the tech needed for this, but with your assistance, we could fix you… or should I say fix your children, or more accurately put, birth-clone them without being damaged like you, and so that they can breed."

"I see," Thor answered thoughtfully, as he looked over the final readings, and nodded as it made sense, as they wouldn't want to repeat their past mistakes. "You mean to allow the new… clones to birth minds like human children would, so that we can teach them, and that they will become the new Asgard, and that for our genetic continuation, we… the originals must grow old and die."

"Everything must have a biggening, middle, and an end," Harry answered with a shrug. "We can use science to expand our lifespans, but to continue forever… look at your species… they've stopped evolving, you've completely screwed yourselves over as a people, as you can't even breed anymore, and every one of your species is so genetically similar that crossing genes isn't even a small fix anymore. This will give your race another chance. If it succeeds, your people can join the rest of the universe in the reality of mortality."

"I see…" Thor answered as he looked over the holo-screen of the humans' new technology with a frown, as the results were written as plain as day. In a human language, but he had learnt many human languages over the years. "This is an odd realisation; the prospect… that for my people to survive, we have to die while devolving to a new point where we can take a different path, and evolve again, as a hybrid species."

"Sometimes shit happens dude!" Harry said as he stood up even though Sam was glaring at him for cussing. "But then… something great can come out of this."

Thor nodded. "Crude analogy as my species no longer defecates, but I understand, we shall contact you shorty, expects my ship soon."

Harry grinned with a nod. "I look forward to helping you even more than seeing the inside of an Asgard ship, but I don't suppose you could direct the wormhole from this side to hit the Earths second Stargate? It would be a hassle having to get a jet back to Texas!"

"Yes, we can do that," Thor agreed as he and his two friends led the way. "So, tell me… you have actually been hacking your spare Stargate? How is it you've managed this?"

Harry smirked in amusement. "I'll show you when you arrive. It will be very enlightening my friend," he said as they entered the Asgard Gate Room, the gate activating. Harry played with his gauntlet a bit before grinning back at Thor. "Well, I'll see you soon; it's been a pleasure meeting you."

"And you to Harry Evans," Thor replied with a small bow. "Good bye Samantha Carter, please give Jack O'Neill my greetings."

"Umm… I will, bye," she answered nervously as she and Harry disappeared into the Stargate a few moments before it shut down. However, her last words were heard they were directed at Harry. "Wait, dragons are real?"

Thor frowned, almost looking sad.

"Thor, is this the way we go?" one of the other two asked him.

He just looked up and nodded. "We have lived a very long time, we are at war, and our population diminishes with every ship we lose. If we do not evolve out of these forms into a more primitive form then our race will be lost forever."

He then just turned leaving as he felt a spark of a lost feeling… hope. Hope that another lost race had been found in the flesh, and that both would re-evolve now, side by side.

to be continued…
