This story is my first attempt at the new Battlestar Galactica 2003 and Stargate crossover. This is for fun only. As always, I do not own anything.

"The Cylons Were Created by Man. They Rebelled. They Evolved. They Look and Feel Human. Some are programmed to think they are Human. There are many copies. And they have a Plan."

The Tau'ri had always been handed a lucky break, but this time. The Lion found the lucky break. Will the Lion bite off more than it can chew? Or will they build their forces and wait until the Americans open the Stargate? This story is not canon. I am posting the first chapter to see if it's okay. Rewrite and rename of an old story

HMS Stargate Command

Chapter one

Natural forming wormholes seem to pop up at the weirdest times, whether it's thanks to the gods playing around with the mortals or just randomly forming wormholes that may send many ships anywhere from a hundred! To a hundred thousand light years away. Some of these wormholes have been recorded as the size of a tennis ball, while others are big enough to swallow a system and even a small galaxy. The rarest form of these phenomena is time-traveling ones that could not only send you so far away but could also either send you back or forward in time.

The first one of these happened in the Cyrannus star system during the first Cylon war when one of the wealthy families of the colonies, who had complete control of the Daidalos mobile shipyards, came up with a plan to build a brand new Jupiter-class Battlestar for their private use. They were given a contract from the government to build twelve Jupiter class Battlestars. The family then played with the figures and cooked the books for them to build a thirteen Battlestar. This Battlestars was given the name, The Sword.

The ship was built at their secondary shipyard, called the little Daidalos. Deep in unexplored space, Little Daidalos was the prototype of the larger Daidalos shipyard that the colonies freely used, but with only one level. Unlike the other twelve battlestars, this Battlestar was built carefully, with no cutting corners, and always with top-grade materials. When the sword was launched, it was twice as good as the other twelve and given to Commander Mary "Shotgun" Thomas to command the Battlestar Sword.

Towards the end of the first Cylon war, the Cylons decided to attack the secret base. The Battlestar and its small fleet defended the small mobile shipyard until the last of the workers' ships had escaped and protected it until the last Basestar was destroyed. The small shipyard was full of everything they would need to build a new base, including new vipers and the newest FTL raptors. Prefabricated structures, earth moving and construction equipment, weapons and ammunition, ground vehicles, uniforms and clothing, shop and fabrication equipment. The Battlestar and the shipyard were severely damaged, and they tried to make their way back to the colonies, but that was when disaster hit.

The Shipyard and Battlestar were caught in one of these wormhole anomalies. The two were still severely damaged from the battle with the Cylon and had lost all FTL systems. The commander knew they couldn't jump away, so she gave the order to abandon both Battlestar and the shipyard. But it was too late, and both fell into the anomaly. The remaining crew would have to stay with them and try stabilizing on the other side. Those that survived the battle watched helplessly as the shipyard and the Battlestar fell into the wormhole.

The second time one of these wormholes occurred was at the beginning of the second Cylon war. The Cylon surprise attack on the colonies after 40 years of peace using a computer virus to shut down all colonial warships. Except for Commander William Adama's ship, the Galactica. The Jupiter class Battlestar was ready to be a Museum and was not considered a threat. Other Battlestars also survived with their own refugee fleet to start new colonies far away from The Cyrannus star system. However, one ship and its crew didn't survive as well as the others, the Mercury-class Battlestar Thunderchild.

The Battlestar was commanded by Admiral Athena "dammit" Adama. She was Adama's half-sister and was lost in miles of red tape. Athena and the Thunderchild were lost during a top-secret mission a few months before the fall. William, or Bill as he liked being called, had no clue where she was until she appeared at the firefight that was known as Ragnar Anchorage battle.

The Thunderchild was the last Mercury Battlestar to be launched from the construction docks, and her computers were not even finished, which is why the virus did not affect the ship. Athena was standing firm at her console when her ship and the Galactica survived another Cylon nuke impact on the hulls of the ships, "Bring this ship to broadside and give them all we have! And tell the Galactica that we have their back if they want to jump!"

"Yes, Ma'am, helm! Show them our guns," said Commander Paul Butcher

"Commander Adama said, "May the gods be with you," Athena just nodded as she watched the last of the refugee ships leave, with the Galactica close behind. The Thunderchild and the Galactica were up against 5 Cylon baseships blocking the path of the refugee fleet when they came out of the Ragnar Anchorage, they quickly took care of two but still had to hold the line until the last civilian ship, and the Galactica jumped.

"What's the status of the civilian fleet?" by the time they had destroyed the third and fourth baseships, the Thunderchild was starting to suffer. It was time to get out of this mess.

"They are almost gone, Ma'am," said Butcher

"We can't take much more of this! We already have hull breaches on all decks."

"The last one is gone now, ma'am! And there goes the Galactica."

"Well, for the love of the Lords! Jump!" said Adama

Then Thunderchild jumps, but unfortunately, just as the jump drive starts up! Two nukes detonate next to the engineering section and give the jump drive a massive power boost. It created a giant wormhole and forced the Thunderchild into its mouth in a blinding white flash. When the flash died down, there was no trace of the Battlestar. The Cylon Raiders and Baseships quickly jumped away from the danger, thinking that the Thunderchild was lost forever.

Earth 1928

Two alien devices were discovered and unearthed at Giza in Egypt by Professor Paul Langford. With the looming war approaching, The Professor loaded the artifacts on an American ship named Achilles to bring them to America in 1929. This was to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Nazis.

Earth 1935

Simpson Desert, Australia

Geologist and surveyors Exploration team camp

50 kilometers west of Dalhousie Springs

The Winds that blew in this part of the desert were hot. They were picking up the sand and throwing it against anything that stood in the way, practically sandblasting any metal surfaces and really stinging your face when they hit you, the reason why that most times you had to wear a hanky or covering over your face. Whirlwinds, or as the local Aussie call them, Willy Willys, came in many sizes and even raced in all directions across the desert sand, giving the area a look of a primitive Armageddon.

It was coming close to 6:00 pm, and it was still hot. The survey teams had spent the last week walking across this ground, measuring the smallest hills and testing the ground stability. These teams would finish up for the day and will soon return to camp for a good meal. Brendon Timothy James is the team's cook, and he had earned his trade as a cook in Sydney. After getting his trade, this was his first job, and it offered good pay.

He had answered an ad in the paper for a cook with a mining company and learned fast that most of these blokes preferred their food to be good and simple and lots of it, primarily stews. The camp oven was lit hours ago, burning just enough to simmer the evening meal. In the pot was a mixture of meat of Kangaroo and Rabbit, with spuds and onions thrown in. It had taken him a few days and all of his skill to learn to cook the meat tender enough. The first few meals were disasters and had to be thrown out to the dingos. Some of the blokes were also thinking of throwing him to the dingos if he didn't improve, thankfully for him, he did.

Every few nights, the teams would go out and shoot something for the evening meal, Kangaroos, Rabbits, camel, anything that came into sight. Brendon thought when he returned to civilization. He might even open a restaurant with some of these dishes on the menu.

Brendon noticed that the kitchen firewood was low to keep the evening meal warm, the evenings and nights out here become very cold, and they still needed the fire to keep them warm before turning in for the night. So he walked towards the large pile of wood staked near the sandhill close to the camp. The workers would gather wood when they went out hunting or even when they were out working, and come across wood laying around and throw it into the ute for the camp.

Some nights or even in the middle of the day, some very deadly creatures would try to find shade or shelter and hide within the woodpile. The worst of them were the snakes. Most Australian snakes are the deadliest snakes in the world, and out here, death came quickly.

As he picked up the first log, A Mulga snake (Pseudechis australis) is one of Australia's most venomous snakes. First described by the English zoologist John Edward Gray in 1842, it is a robust snake between 1.5 and 3 m long. It is one of the longest venomous snakes in the world and is the second-longest in Australia (surpassed only by the coastal taipan). Its alternative common name is king brown snake, although it is a species in the genus Pseudechis family (black snakes) and only distantly related to true brown snakes. The snake stood up on his tail, ready to strike, and without any hesitation, Brendon threw the biggest piece of wood in his hands at it. A good 6 inches in diameter, the log struck the snake just below its head and crashed it into another log.

Then the log and the snake started disappearing into the sand as Bendon watched! A hole appeared and began to expand faster and faster. It started to swallow the woodpile and then the sandhill in front of him. He turned and ran as the sides of the hole expanded further and further out. Then with a thump, it turned into one of the biggest sinkholes he had ever seen.

In just a few seconds, the hole had swallowed the wood heap, the sandhill, and some of the campsite. The sinkhole stabilized on his side without losing anything else from the campsite. Most of the campsite was on solid ground, Brendon just stood there and watched the hole expand on the other side to swallow more and more sandhills, forming a large valley in front of him. He had heard of many cars and trucks disappearing in these holes when they opened up on the road, and they had even destroyed many train tracks. But this was the first he had ever witnessed one. It was something that you had to witness to see the raw power of one of these things forming.

Luckily for the campsite, they only lost one tent, but all around him, the sand was still falling into the now-forming valley. Brendon slowly walked over to the edge, keeping an eye on the hole just in case this side decided to fall in. Still completely stunned. Lucky for him, there was still wood left for him to use to start the fire for the crew to sit around. The crews should be coming in shortly, and Keith will not be happy. It was his tent that the sinkhole took.

Brendon noticed something that was entirely out of place. The sand still fell into an underground river! Well, it is no longer an underground river but a fast-flowing river that was washing away the sand from the sandstone ground. Now he had an idea of what happened! the underground river had removed enough sand to collapse when he threw that log at the snake.

The crews arrived at camp with a range of colorful language that would make a truckie blush. They were shocked at the site of what they were seeing. Brendon stood and walked over to Tom. "Tom! We have a problem,"

"What did you do?" asked Tom

"Nothing! We just lost the desert!" said Brendon

"Holy shit! Will you look at that?" said Peter, it was just coming on to dark valley, but they still could see that they were at the highest part of the area now, and the dunes were all gone.

"Where did all the sand go?" yelled Dave

"That's what I am trying to tell you! I threw a log at a snake, and all the sand just slid down to the river!"

"Look's like one of those underground rivers had undermined the whole area, I heard about these things years ago, and from what I can see, we were lucky we made camp here," said Tom.
