Chapter Twelve Reevaluation

02 Feb 2015

In Orbit of Tremarste

The Aschen Home World

Tremarste the Aschen homeworld was still in a state of disorder it had been thirteen cycles since they had first met the Earthers on Viola. They had gotten a list of stargates that they believed to be new worlds to contact and bring into their federation. Only that the first was to a black hole that had sucked up a very large hole into Tremarste. It was only after they had tortured the Earthers Ambassador that they learned how to disengage the gate with a focused nuclear blast above the event horizon. He had read some of the reports during the days of negotiations though he had only scratched the surface of the reports. While he was a fast reader there was four years of reports and he only had a few days to prepare for the trip through the stargate. Even the addresses he had seen and remembered would not help the Aschen without the dialing program from earth to translate. So they had dropped him in a prison cell of sorts that soon became crowded.

It was five years after that first contact with the Earthers. When a Goa'uld Ha'tak had came to Renesta one of their major colonies. This is where they had to spend most of their population after the event. When the Ha'tak came out of hyperspace it was disabled by their satellite defense screen. Once it was they had sent in the drone kenobis to capture the Goa'uld in command. They then began to study the ship to find that the hyperdrives were much faster than the FTL drives they would use to travel between their planets which would take months to traverse. They quickly learned that Earth was the reason for the Goa'ulds downfall. While the Goa'uld gave them secrets in an attempt to stay alive and was happy to help them take on Tau'ri. He had given them many gate addresses to his former enemies and they began to explore to find the resources to build their fleets. With these new ships, they could now spread throughout the galaxy.

Neela was standing at the console going over all the new data that they had been getting back from their latest probes. It would seem that the Earthers were still getting help from somewhere. As they had lost one world to them but many from the Dakara Jaffa. It was clear that they were the biggest threat now and if they wanted to rid the universe of the Earthers then they would need to be dealt with first. With the loss of the fleet over the water world Deortas was quite disturbing to her. For they had never seen such destruction of their forces before it was out of luck that the command ship managed to jump into hyperspace. The three satellite was dormant then they had emitted an energy wave that washed over the entire world in mere minutes destroying all their Elementals as well as their ground forces.

The attack at Langara was somewhat different then what she would have expected. She had not counted on the Earthers to come to aid the Langarans. The fact that they had built so many more ships then they had been told. It was clear that the information from the oracle was incorrect or at least incomplete. That they had no warnings of the Earthers coming was also assign that the information was not that reliable.

In the past year, the Asgard had retaken Einherja along with two other of their wolds as well. They had released their people with a warning not to cross their paths again. Which was a clear warning not to attack any more of the Asgard worlds? This had caused the council of Kleesons to ordered a complete pullback of their forces from the populated worlds to Tremarste. She was also ordered to come up with a new plan of attack that would be able to lead them to victory. The incompetence of the leaders they were sending out was unbelievable.

In the years of her service, she had thrived to provide the most accurate assessments of any other of her colleagues. She had brought two worlds into the Confederation in her many years of service. She was to meet with the Earthers at Viola but the Kleesons sent a junior associate in her stead as the result they lost many of their people when the gate was opened to the black hole. They now had only the unpopulated systems with there mining drones to gather the need materials for the construction of the Elementals. With the current loses that once again doubled the efforts to rebuild their defensive poisons.

The Dakara Jaffa had reclaimed all of their former worlds as had the Asgard. The Earthers putting up more resistance than believed possible in so few years. They were hunting for allies when they had first encountered them all those years ago. They had now begun to be a dominant race in the galaxy. They were allied with the Dakara Jaffa that was for sure. Their ships had proved easier to defeat when she attacked Earth and again when they had retaken Langara. Their shields were a lot stronger with more powerful beam weapons. And they had cloaks that were not detectable by the sensors. The destroyer was just able to escape before it was destroyed. With the loss of so many ground troops that were left on the surface, they knew nothing of what had happened to them.

"What are your thoughts on these new developments Commander?" She had not heard the doors open from behind her as her assistant came into the room.

"These Earthers are more resilient than we first had thought. They have formed some very powerful shields and power cores. We will have to be more aggressive when we move against them again. Our forces can defeat them in more numbers then we planned to use. I fill we need to take out the Dakara Jaffa first then we can focus on the Earthers." Neela stated as she continued to watch the data feeds that were now coming in from the probes that were sent out earlier that day. "We have just taken another one of the Earthers outposts with ease. It would seem that there may be a division in their forces. As these did not put up much a resistance and their power output was way lower on those ships." Looking a bit puzzled. She turned to look at Jarro.

As Jarro came up and looked over the monitor. After a few moments, he turned to Neela. "I see what you mean they are not possessing the same power cores. This is something we need to learn more about. How do think we need to proceed?" He asked.

"I fill we need to consult with the ambassador once again he may offer some insight on why there is a division in their forces," Neela stated then as a thought. "I will go now to the detention center. Have them notified that I will need to speak to the ambassador and have them clean him up this time. The stench was intolerable the last time I was there."

"Yes, commander I well send they word now," Jarro said as he gave a slight bow and left the room.

It had taken Neela three hours to get to the detention center she had brought her other assistant with her. Ilsa hated going there but Neela said was to make her more resultant to the surfing of others. The center was on the other side of the plant and the rail system was diverted to other tracks which there was on strait line any more for the quakes around the planet had damaged much of the infrastructure. There were no transfer pads near the center.

Once they made their way through the building they came to the interview room. There was a table with a chair on one side and two on the other. The ambassador has already seated his hair was still wet as droplets of water dripped from thick unshaven facial hair. He had been placed in a fresh jumpsuit and was strapped to the chair at his feet. He looked up as Neela an Ilsa walked in his eyes were sunk in his face and he barely had the strength to even be setting up. It had been two days since he had last eaten. The ones how guarded him was blaming the destruction that had happened to their world on him.

"Mr. Faxon I hope your stay here has not been too hard on you?" Neela said dryly as she and Ilsa took their seats. "We need to have a little discussion about your world. If you will give me the information I ask for I will see that you get a proper meal."

"I have told you all I know about the stargate what more do you need?" Joseph 'Joe' Faxon said at a tone just above a whisper. His mouth was dry with his lips cracked and flaky.

Noticing this Neela looked to Ilsa. "Get him a glass of water." Then turning back to Joe. "Yes your limited knowledge of the gates system was put to good use but it is not why I am here now. We want to know about how your governments work to be more persist why there would seem to be more factions at play."

Ilsa returned with a large container of water and three glasses. Filling one an placing in front of Joe then fixed two more. While Joe eyed the water he did not drink any. Seeing his reluctant Neela took a drink of the water in front of her. He then did the same slowly at first getting a taste of the cold clean water he then finished off the glass and placed it out on the table. The water that was provided to him wasn't the ever cold and was never clean.

He thought about what she had asked and figured it would not hurt to talk about it. "My world has a few other countries on it that we have already talked about but only one knew of the gate program." Ilsa refilled his glass and he took another drink. "We have been in a cold war with them for years and only just opened dialogue after they found a stargate that was lost in the ocean after an alien ship crashed."

"What alien ship?" Neela asked.

"It was a replicator ship." He said. "They had come to take over the planet and we shot them down with our missiles defense weapons." Knowing it was an Asgard ship that was infested by the replicator bugs and it was SG1 that had saved the planet.

"What do these Replicators look like?" Ilsa asked before her commander.

"They were artificial bugs that would reproduce fast while consuming all technology on a planet." He was feeding them some truth and some miss direction.

"He speaks of those things that took out two of our harvesters on Volia before they were destroyed by an energy wave from the gate," Ilsa spoke out of turn and got a look from Neela that would result in further discussion later.

"Yes, we have seen these things before and from what we have learned they are no more." Neela was not letting on that she was getting upset with her assistance behavior. "But what of this cold war you spoke of? What was the cause of it?"

"The cold war was a build-up of weapons of mass destruction. While the United States won are rather put our selves in massive debt. While Russia could no longer afford to build anymore. Both sides come to the agreement to stop building them and to dismantle them in a timely manner." Taking another drink. "There are many factions as you called it but there are two main sides. The Communist Party is a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. The Capitalist which is the way my government works is an economic and political system in a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than by the state. Even though the state does guide and direct how to treat the worker and ensure that they get a fair wage."

Neela thought of what he said that their way was more like that of the Communists while they did what was best for their people. Every one worked as one for their world. After a few more hours they gave him a good meal as promised and even moved him to a more comfortable cell were there at least was running water. After some more discussion with her assistants, she requested to see the Kleesons.

It was ten days before the Kleesons scent for her. "Thank you for seeing me so soon." Thinking that if they had been any slower the war would be over and they would have lost it already. "I have found out that the Earthers may not be fighting as one would think. They have divisions with other countries on their planet. The ambassador has said that there are a hundred ninety-five countries. But they are dived up of two separate factions for the most part. We fill it is for this reason we have found them not to use the same weapons and power sources. We also fill we must focus on the Alterra at Dakara. We fill it is through them that the Earthers have gained these new abilities while they are showing similar would like to continue the assaults on the Earthers but at a lesser scale. We do not want them to be able to regroup or to be able to go on the offensive. While we to must focus our efforts on rebuilding the fleets that were lost."

The Kleesons discussed the maters for a moment. "We do agree with your assessments. We will continue to prod the Earthers while pulling away for the inhabited worlds. We have brought to many enemies to light and fill if we withdraw they will not pursue any further actions. While our expansion will continue we must be able to protect what we have. It seems that the galaxy has for more dangers than we first thought." The High Kleeson stated. "We also have another task that we wish for you to look in to." They had one of the new worlds lost to them. It had gone dark and no contact a few days. It was thought to be away from the other worlds that the Earthers were using and they wanted to know what had happened.
