Chapter Five Information

20 March 2014

Dakara

Two days later General Carter and two SG teams came out of the stargate to be greeted by twenty-four Jaffa, six cannon turrets and some kind of armed battle tank thing that looked like a giant metal cat. There was also some small fighter craft flying in formation overhead. Carter's first thoughts were this was a bit of overkill but so was the threat of the Aschen. Then she saw the familiar face of her long-time friend. Standing ridged in front of the stargate.

Smiling Carter stepped forward offering her hand in greeting. "It is good to see you again Teal'c."

Teal'c taking her arm and bowing his head a bit. "It is good to see you as well, General Carter. We have much to discuss shall we go to the council chambers Lord Bra'tac has been expecting you. Our other guest has arrived a moment ago." gesturing for her group to follow the four Jaffa that was starting walk toward the city. "If you don't mind me asking where is General Mitchell?" He asked as they started to walk.

"That is one of the things I wish to talk to Bra'tac about. But to answer your question he forming a task force to retake Langara from the Aschen. Have any of your worlds been attacked by them?" She replied to her friend.

"None as of yet but many worlds of the Free Jaffa Nation have fallen this scourge. We are preparing to move against these Aschen our selves. We are to start by retaking the jaffa worlds within a few weeks." Teal'c stated showing the disgust for the Enemy that has yet shown it face. "I had not heard that Langara had been attacked. Any word of Jonas Quin?"

"Langara was hit almost three weeks age we only just heard our selves. We know nothing of Jonas or his people. Their colony contacted Earth but it took a week for us to get the word. The IOA is still upset after Kerry's little speech." Carter informed him.

"This is unfortunate news. We can only hope that Jonas managed to escape to safety." Teal'c said with sorrow in his voice.

Looking around Carter saw many new buildings and even parks with water fountains. "It looks like you all have been busy. This city has come a long way since I was here last."

"Indeed we have. This world was once a barren wasteland now it is a world of plenty. We have many cities around this world that are being constructed such as this one. In time all Jaffa will benefit from the Alterra." Teal'c said smiling as pride filled him. It saw true they were all to benefit in time.

They had continued to talk as they walked from one ring transporter to another upon entering the main council room. There was Bra'tac and Paul Stevenson along with six others that Sam didn't know. Though one she felt that she did.

"We bid you good greetings," Sam said as she walked forward, looking first at the System Lord and then to Stevenson. "I hope we are on time and haven't kelp you waiting too long."

"I welcome you back General is it now?" said Bra'tac "We have only just arrived ourselves. If you would please have a set and we shall begin." pointing to the left side of a horseshoe type table. Teal'c had walked around to take his place beside his Lord.

"Yes, it is but you can just call me Sam." She said as she sat.

After everyone was seated. The host began. "Very well then. Sam this Paul Stevenson he is our Master Builder and these are Malek, Delek, Korra, Mingala, Sina and Per'sus of the Tok'ra in anticipation of what you want I have asked them to here as well. From my talks with O'Neill, I take it things are not good on your world."

Carter shaking her head no. "Things have not been as we would like. But we are working to improve them there. We have just informed our world of what has been transpiring out there among the stars. Some have not taken this in the best of ways though most have. With the war with the Aschen, it has forced us to do so. To get the full backing of my country even though the other nations didn't like it. Anyways it is now done and ling over dew. We have now set up several colonies and basses, now in the effort to build our forces to take them on. I have come here seeking any information that your ships may have gathered on the battle over Earth two years ago."

"Yes, these Ashen have been attacking many worlds here of late. I shall give you what we have gathered, though your ships will not hold up for long with the numbers of forces they have deployed over some of these worlds." Bra'tac signaled a jaffa to give Sam a data crystal.

"We have lost two of our worlds as well and six of our operatives over last year." Delek said, "Would you know of the world these Aschen come from?"

"We believe so but we are not sure. About thirteen years ago we received a note that was written by Colonel O'Neill that said under 'under no circumstances go to P4C-970' General Hammond ordered that address to be locked out of our dialing computer. The following year we went the planet Volia on P3A-194 were we meet the Volian people they introduced us to the Aschen. We were negotiating a treaty when Danial Jackson and Teal'c discovered an old city that had been buried to make more farmland." She paused gesturing to Teal'c he nods. She continued to tell them the whole story.

"So you are to blame for giving them knowledge of the stargate?" Malek spat out catching the other Tok'ra off guard.

"Please forgive him. It's just that there are so few of us left now and it will be years before our Queen's first brood will be able for implantation." Mingala said eyeing Malek as he started to say something but thought better of it.

"There is nothing to forgive. I do not know if you have been informed Langara was attacked three weeks ago we have not been able to make contact since. If the Aschen have learned of the Naquadria and can find a way to harness its power they could become even more powerful then they are now. We are at this time planing retake the planet with nine of our ship. But we do not have a cloaked vessel to get the Intel we need on their numbers and strengths. I was hoping you could help with that." looking back over to Bra'tac. "Your smaller ship was able to hide even from us and the Asgard sensors."

Bra'tac smiled he liked how well his ship had performed that day. "I will send a scout out after our conclusion of this meeting." Looking over to Paul.

"I would first like to apologize for what my progenitor put you through. We regret that he lost his temper that day." Stopping for a moment as he felt the rush of emotion come over Sam. "Rayn has decided to help as well. So I will give you what you need to be able to cloak your ships. We also have several ZPM's that we will gift to you for now. How many ships do you have at this time?"

"We have eight at this time three more are in production and once we get through the refit of our shipyards we are staring a new line of ships." She stated, knowing there was no way to hide anything.

"We also have something for you, General Carter," Mingala said. "One of our operatives was one the planet that those of your word you called Chinese was on where you were held captive and your team members were killed."

"Really!" was all she could say.

"You have a Goa'uld on your homeworld at this time. We know of at least six. They have taken power of three of your nation." Malek said. A look of shock came over Sam.

"Do you know of which nations." Colonel Reynolds asked seeing that his commander was processing what was being said.

"China, France, and Britain if memory serves," Malek said looking at the humans to gauge their reactions before he continued. "Though we do not know what humans' host them. They are in places of power within those nations."

"Do you know how the Goa'uld is and how long they have been there?" Sam asked trying to get some control back.

"We know they have been there for five years and the one called Hera she was once a powerful Queen before Ra defeated her in a battle where she allied with Anubis. We had believed her lost after the system lords exiled Anubis. We had not seen signs of her in thousands of years." Korra said, "Our operatives have been able to gather this information from monitoring the long-range communication device we picked up several communique between Hera and her underlings."

"This explains a lot of things, she must be part of the IOA or have someone under her control there." Sam still thinking "If she is a Queen there no telling how many there could be now."

"We also know that the commander of that bass escaped and took the one you called Vala with him. We believed him to be Aphrodite though are not for sure. There is the possibility that he plans to revive her as a new host." Korra concluded.

Carter looked to Teal'c both not knowing what to say to this. Then Mingala seeing the opportunity "Our operative was also able to escape with a cloaked ship that was in orbit. She was able to rescue a young woman from your team." Looking up to the right behind Bra'tac as someone entered the room. Everyone turned to look.

Walking more into the light the woman's face became clear. "Hailey!" Carter all be yelled jumping from her taking several strides grabbing the young woman in a big bear hug forgetting her rank and composure for the moment with tears of joy as Teal'c also taken amiss by the return of a friend an colleague thought to be dead he also joined the women.

"This is indeed a joyous occasion," Teal'c said overcome with joy.

Captain Jennifer Hailey this return now makes her truly part of the SG-1 family. Face it you can't be a part of the it unless you make at least one come back from death. "Colonel Carter it's good to see you too. Teal'c you to. Wasn't sure where they were taking when we came here." Jennifer freeing herself from their embrace. See then sees Carter's collar her eyes get big as she snaps to salutes. "I'm sorry General."

"At ease Captain," Sam responded returning the salute. "Lots has changed in your absents. How are you?"

"I am all healed up. I've been told a few things as to what has happened but there is still a lot of questions." The captain replying. It has been nearly two years since she was MIA. Now to find her alive and that Vala may be as well was indeed good news. But many more questions to be asked at a later time.

After a brief recess, they finish the meeting. Then they went their separate ways. Paul Stevenson came over to Carter and gave her some data crystals. They had all agreed the Aschen was a greater threat than the Goa'uld at the moment but would continue to monitor the situation.

Langara System

On outer edges of the Langara star system, a hyperspace window opened with a lone Alket cloaking as the window closed. It would take two hours to slowly approach the planet. They had begun to run scans as they went forward. The first thing was there were only two control ships with four hundred elementals. But three new ships were unknown to them. One was three hundred forty meters long and one hundred fifty meters wide and eighty-five meters tall. It was heavily armored with forty weapons ports that were seen. It was showing high energy readings of an unknown source its showed to have shields. Another was smaller and not as armored with fewer weapons ports. It looked more like a transport ship or even cargo ship. The last was of the same size as the second one it was diffidently a form of cargo transport vessel. Light armor very few visible weapons.

As they reach the planet small ships were coming up to the ships in orbit. They were loaded with rock and soil nothing importance. The Jaffa thought it was strange there was no real value in such thing in their eyes. There were large blast sites on the ground were massive explosives had leveled enter cities. They saw ground forces that was gathered around the last of the standing cities on two of the landmasses. The troops numbered around ten thousands.

The pilot turned to his commander "There is much here that makes no sense. Why would the be taking rock and soil from this world? When there is other more valuable resources here?"

"It is our job to answer such questions. Take us to one of the harvesting sites." Rya'c ordered. As they slowly entered the atmosphere. The site of large harvesters could be seen gathering the topsoil in many places. After a few hours of watching. "Now let us go to one of these cities to see what's there." They did several fly overs where they saw people that, were digging through the rubble of falling buildings scattered around. there were signs of recent fighting and a few gunshots. There was an explosion that could be heard in the distance. Seeing a man with two small female children cowering behind a collapsed wall. Rya'c instructed the pilot to land in the nearby park. Where he then ordered two other Jaffa to rescue the man and the two girls with him. To stun them as not to cause a scene and alert the nearby hunter drones.

"Yes, Commander." Tran'ore said gathering three more of the cloaking devices. Him and Gar'nak left the cloak ship. Walking swiftly they made the trip in under four minutes. Drawing their Alterrain handheld pistols like stunners. They fired with their pray never knowing what was happening. Quickly attaching the cloaking devices and activating them. Tran'ore grabbed the man over his shoulder while Gar'nak scooped up the two girls resting their heads on each shoulder. Making their way back to the Alket. Once there Rya'c ordered them to leave the city.

They made their way to many of the Aschen's mining sites. They were searching through the ruins of a building deep in the ground. Scanning the area more closely they detected the chappa'ai was buried under a mile of debris. Rya'c had known that the Langarans had an underground complex that was like that of the Tau'ri. This was something that they needed to report quickly. So he ordered the pilot to leave for orbit they had all the scans needed. Along with some humans which could have even more information.

After leaving the system than entering hyperspace Rya'c had all information transmitted to Dakara.
