Stargate
Harry grinned as two US military officers wearing green uniforms led him into an elevator. He was wearing a full black suite looking every bit the businessman he's supposed to be. He had left his sister and fiancée in the hotel with his little brother with the promise of tracking down an American theme park later.
Though, really that was to keep his little brother Kalam happy. His brother wasn't very happy to find out that Harry had gained custody from their parents. He still doesn't understand what their dad and Dumbledore have done wrong. He still thinks Harry is in the wrong no matter what he's shown. It will take some time to deprogram him, but at least he's stopped trying to run away now.
The elevator came to a stop after having gone down underground for a short while and opened up. The army guys led him out through some military grey corridors until they reached a larger open plan area with windows that lead out into another chamber, but it has shutters down blocking out his view of what he couldn't say.
His escorts opened a conference room door and he entered while they closed the door and left. Harry looked around the room. It wasn't full but it had a few people in sitting at a long conference table. Doctor Jackson was the only person he knew, but by the others uniforms realised they're soldiers.
"Mr. Evans…" a greying man stood wearing the pips of a general. "I'm glad you can make it, I'm Jack O'Neill, this is Cam Mitchell, Samantha Carter, and you know Daniel Jackson, and this is Teal'c," he introduced himself and the others.
"What's with the gold thing on your forehead?" Harry couldn't help but ask as he leaned in for a closer look of Teal'c. "It seems to have the whole Egyptian thing going on."
"That doesn't matter, you can ask again later," Jack interrupted as Harry slumped in a seat. "You've been given special permission to see what we do here. The president himself suggested bringing you in on our… project…"
"So the SGC really does exist," he interrupted shocking them he shrugged. "Hey, I've seen that odd little sci-fi series and gathering information, conspiracy theories and stuff. You would be surprised how accurate some of these conspiracy theorists can be!"
"He has a point," Daniel couldn't help but admit. "We believe Mr. Evans that you could offer us an alternate power source… one that uses ZPE. The off world Stargate's use Zero Point Energy for power, but our planet is lacking the original DHD… umm… Dial Home Device…"
"Hmm…" Harry muttered thoughtfully. "It seems you're actually under financial pressure, and you're trying to stop this project from being shut down by no longer using crap loads of expensive power."
"Yeah, pretty much," Jack agreed sighing. "We can't let that happen. It would leave the Earth defenceless, and it would cut us off from allied worlds."
"Well, you're screwed…"
"Not to mention the possibility of another shadow agency getting a hold of the Stargate and steeling off world technology… again…" Teal'c spoke nonchalant.
"OK, I'll recreate the DHD," he agreed. "Or is it just DD here since we are home?" he asked shrugging and not awaiting an answer. "However, I want full access to everything to do with the Stargate; don't want to screw up without all the info. Plus, as my fee I want all umm… information on every world you've been too, and info on every race you know of."
"That seems reasonable," Jack nodded in agreement. "Sam and Daniel will sort that for you and take you to see the Stargate."
"Sweet," he said grinning as he followed the two from the room closing the door behind them.
"General O'Neill, do you really think that is a wise idea?" Teal'c asked as he looked to where he sat. "You would be handing over information about allied worlds."
"He's curious," Jack shrugged. "And I think in the long run it could be helpful if he's to be a part of the SGC! Plus, I'm kind of hoping he'll give us some free stuff, like some Sky Sleds."
"Making sure they're specially designed with some blasters would be cool," Cam couldn't help but give his opinion. "Maybe we could persuade him to build a new ship if we gave him some of the blueprints to the one's we already have."
"Ooo, cool idea," Jack said with a grin. "I mean, that guy's tech is incredible!" he said with a thoughtful look.
Meanwhile Harry was drooling over the Stargate as he was shown into the Gate Room. "I'll need to bring in some equipment, and I have a younger brother who has never flown in a fighter jet before taken for a ride."
Sam and Daniel just gave him a look. "Oh, right," he said laughing sheepishly. "He kind of hates me for arresting our dad and putting our mum on lockdown in my medical facility for mana induced coercion and control. He's been groomed to believe that Albus Dumbledore can NEVER be wrong, and unfortunately our dad has spoilt him so much it will take time for him to realise that what dad and Dumbledore did is wrong."
"That's the old man you arrested while playing that… 'new' sport," Sam said as Daniel had told them all about it. "What happened to him? Is he still…?"
"No," he answered shaking his head. "We only had the evidence to charge him with assault and he got off with a fine. So, about that jet ride…?"
Sam rolled her blue eyes. "I think I can sort something for tomorrow morning."
"Cool," he said as he drew a hidden wand from a cloaking holster on his right arm. They just gave him a look. He shrugged sheepishly. "I knew you guys would take my wand so I came prepared," he said laughingly as he set it to scan the ancient alien technology. "This is quite incredible," he said as he was reading the scan reports. "It's mana technology of the highest standard. It works on a similar base as portkey magic, only so much more complex and… wow, whoever invented the Stargate has my praise. I wonder whether I could build more…?"
"It wouldn't matter if you can," Sam spoke gaining his attention. "I mean we can only open one gate at a time… we do actually have a second in storage in Area 51. It has to do with the address. It's like a telephone, and the Earth can only use one at a time."
"It can only go one way at a time too except for radio transmissions can travel both ways," Daniel added helpfully. "Although, the prospect of being able to open multiple Stargates at the same time… it seems impossible."
"Nothing is impossible Danny-boy," he replied with a smirk as he took more scans. "It's just a matter of adding a new code allowing us to assign a… planetary area code to each gate."
"T-that could potentially work," Sam said looking excited. "It would be just like with telephones if we could rewrite our Stargates code we could alter the dial in address to be unique to each gate rather than planet. It would mean our gate wouldn't work on any other planet the same way they all just know where they are now… it would be more like a cell phone rather than a landline and keep the same address."
"Could we do that?" Daniel asked looking at them both.
Harry shrugged. "I don't see why not… with Sam's help I'm sure we could come up with something, but I think we should unpack the spare for experimentation. We don't want to break this one."
Sam nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, you're right; I'll speak to the General about getting the spare Stargate out…"
"Send it to my research lab in LA!" he quickly interrupted, hoping they'll agree, and using his La HQ because he doubts they'll let him take it out of the country. "You'll of course be welcome to have soldiers protecting it but I'll have more space and freedom there, and more tech at hand."
"I'll speak to O'Neill about it," she replied nodding. "But what about a power source and dialling device…?"
"Oh, that's easy business," he replied shrugging it off. "I can get you some generators set up. It will make this place self-sufficient when it comes to energy. So… area fifty-one…? So do you have any alien space ships?"
"A few but most of them are broken," Daniel said with a smile. "We actually have our own ships built from some reverse engineered tech, but we are only loaning our teleporter tech from the Asgard… but I understand you have teleporter tech."
Harry grinned smugly. "I see, so the aliens won't just hand over the knowledge. I believe we can work something out, but I believe that might mean taking my brother into space! Every boy dreams of being an astronaut, right?"
"Yeah, I suppose," Daniel said nervously. "Until they've been in a battle with their first alien race bent on universal conquest pretending to be gods."
"I… I'll take my chances," he replied sheepishly. "But I cannot wait to read up on all the races you've come across. They're not all douches right?"
Sam laughed rolling her eyes. "I'm sure with that after his jet flight you'll have him deprogramed and realising you're the coolest big brother in the universe."

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's wearing an all in one green/grey suite they gave him for his ride. He ran his right hand through his brown/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, but secretly he was a little pleased. He doubted Terry would have taken half the care Harry does. Though he hates to admit it, Harry does look after him well.
Harry had actually arranged his ride in the muggle machine. At first, he had been reluctant, and a little scared, but watching them fly on that TV thing is quite incredible. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, but now. He can't believe how cool that muggle thing is, and now has a new dream. He no longer wants to be an auror like Terry (when he's not playing quidditch), and now wants to be a fighter pilot.
It has to be the coolest job in the world, and the jet is faster than any broom or Sky Sled, and best yet can travel higher than any wizard can go. He's not stupid though. He knows Harry is trying to win him over, but not once has Harry been angry with him, and thinking back, he does not think Harry has ever been angry with him.
They say that his dad has committed a crime against his mother, and Rose says that Dumbledore's involved. He just couldn't bring himself to believe that the Great Professor Dumbledore is the bad guy. Though, he can't wait to see his mum again, he dreads that day too encase its true and she really hates his dad, and tells him his dad is a villain.
He shook those thoughts away as 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 rolling her eyes as the pilot came over, ruffling Kalam's hair. "So, what did you think, kid? Have a good time?"
"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."
"Yeah, what is it?" he asked eagerly, forgetting he's 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 com from inside his flight suite. "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 is.
"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 treat 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."
Harry startled him by placing his hand on his shoulder with a reassuring smile. "It's OK… 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. "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. "I mean you're on a freaking space ship and you're all googly eyed over looking out the window, 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.
"Ok, 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.
"Ok, 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 they stopped, their mouths 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 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. "Seriously, there's this new show starting in an hour and we get very bad TV reception this far from the Earth. Why is it 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 mana, and I keep dropping prices to keep cheaper than SKY and Virgin 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. "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.
"Why do you want to run those TV companies out of business anyway?" the Captain asked looking curious.
"Oh, well I wanted to buy into them both, fuse them together, and use my tech to make TV cheaper and easier," he said shrugging. "They're just all about the money. They have their limits while I do not. I'm also undercutting Virgin Airlines, and I was thinking about a Sky Bus that travels faster than a train, just because their prices are ridiculous, and it's almost like their prices change every hour getting more expensive the busier they get. Its daylight robbery…"
"OK, I don't piss you off," the captain said as they jumped back to Earth. "I mean I'm broke enough as it is."

It was nearing the end of March, just another day after kicking the ten barrels of crap out of Dumbledore and his order. It's a shame the jerks escaped, but they were humiliated, and didn't get passed reception of the LA EvansCorp HQ. It's really quite odd how they just won't get a clue, and they have even roped in the UK and US Ministry's into helping them.
Harry had already made sure that the US President and the Pentagon are secure, and put out protection on State Leaders. It was a little amusing thinking about how pathetic they are. They came with some very under trained 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.
He has to wonder what kind of motive they have for fighting the world's evolution. Heck, for all anyone knows magical powers or natural control of Zero Point Energy could have originated from an alien race. Well, it's their problem if they're still morons, but he figured he might break into see the US Minister of Magic to get some answers, and try to talk some sense into him.
However, right now Harry's with Samantha Carter both dressed in military uniforms (his is dark blue and not 'official') 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's more advanced than the one he created for the SGC's Stargate as he had a little more time to build it.
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 encase of a potential scenario where they open an incoming wormhole. It was a possibility they couldn't risk so put in security protocols.
Military soldiers were quick to enter the EVoNet Gate Room aiming EvoTech guns at the Stargate at the ready. The scientists were quick in allowing other soldiers to escort them out while Harry and Carter used the Dialling Network System hoping for an IDC. The code that proves it's 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 work crew was 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 SG1, come in Atlantis!" she called out over the light hisses of static. "Come in Atlantis!?" she asked out again. "This is the 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 before opening a new wormhole.
"Are we getting a broken signal now?" he asked the tower.
"Yes, we detect no Iris the other side either," a techy answered.
Harry grinned. "OK," he laughed as he started using his console fast while Sam watched looking confused. "We have a link to that other gate, how amusing, let's see now, mana over ride, 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 EVoNet 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, I hacked the gate and engines with ease… well, their ship was 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. Using the ZPE flowing through the gate I sent out a small pulse through the ship while getting the gate to really dial an unpopulated dead world for safety reasons igniting the radiation from the blown engines in affect making everything else blow too!"
"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, but I wasn't aware you were so far into it this early on."
"Yeah, I'm trying to come up with a… well caller ID, so the Iris would just be an added security measure," he answered with a grin. "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."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," another guy pushed him 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."
"Do you people mind?" the Commander interrupted them rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Coronel Carter, why exactly did your gate answer?"
"Accident," she replied shrugging. "The other Earth gate was open at the time, and Harry did something, which grabbed the wormhole. It was quit odd knowing two gates were 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 highjack an incoming wormhole rather than letting it go to… voicemail."
"Do we need all of these telephone reference's?" 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…"
"OK, 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. 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 Renault, one of the 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, 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.
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. 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.
"OK, OK, I won't call them fodders anymore," he 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. "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…" he said looking at her and shrugging. "Yeah, and that is not in our galaxy, and I want to see Asgard!" 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. "Whoa…" she muttered looking around to see the large room. It just looked advanced. Looking out of the window at the huge city with massive Asgard ships seeming parked at skyscrapers.
"Yeah, whoa…" he 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."
She groaned while following him and looking around. Jack had tried describing it, but never mentioned that it's quite beautiful. "Its… 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.
"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."
"Hey, I'm awesome, what can I say," he 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."
"Ok 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 somehow disabled our gate-shield," he said letting Harry nod 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, please go ahead."
"Sweet," he answered as he pulled out his wand from it holster on his right arm. He lowered himself as he muttered some spells (well, just told it what to do). It lit up a holo-screen and he read the data over quite thoroughly. "Wow, this is weird… let's see… hmm… oh, I see, you're missing some genetic coding… hmm… I have an idea…"
"You do?" he asked, confused, as he looked round at the readout of the device.
"Of course, it's obvious," he 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. 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 won't open."
"I believe we may be too far gone for this to do more than extend our lives a little more," he answered, though it's only an extension, he was very impressed with his answer.
"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.
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's 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," he answered thoughtfully. "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 begging, middle, and an end," he 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. 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…" he 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 has 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."
"Sometimes shit happens dude!" Harry said as he stood up even though Sam was glaring at him. "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 will be a hassle having to get a jet back to LA!"
"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 frown, 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 has been found in the flesh, and that both will re-evolve now, side by side.
