[Here is my next chapter. I wasn't sure on where it was going at first but I'm getting to close to where I want it at now so please bear with me a bit more so I can get out. I will try to clear up a few things for those that been with me from the start I thank you. For bringing things to my attention I will answer a few comments to clear it up.]
[Hi-Fanion- Thanks for all the comments the two Naquadah generators may be a bit much I'll admit but in my thinking backups are always better. The two mini ZPMs are just that mini. I see them as being about the size of Nerf football. And these are not made by the Alterra and they are of a simpler design made by the use of the Asgard matter replicator. They are only good to boost the shields, weapons and to open a hyperspace window. I talked about them being used by 302's so they wouldn't have to use the Naquadria one that is still unstable. The aerospikes are for the forward motion in air or space while the rocket boosters are used to boost the speeds. The anti-gravity would allow the ship to hover in the atmosphere. To do surveillance or even be a gunship like a helicopter. The biggest ideal I have for this is to be used as a long-range scout ship for an SG team or spy surveillance mission.]
[Chloe- I think so too. In ROTA Ryan Stevenson takes Danial Jackson to a space station that was watching over a star system that is close to the galactic center. The system is about to bust cause it is overpopulated. Which is why he was work to get the Jaffa to work together. I am just making them as the creators of the Goa'uld. Tying them together making the Goa'uld have a purpose even though their egos got the better of them. There was a lot never talked about in the show. Just using my imagination.]
[Enjoy]
Chapter Fifteen Young Blood
01 JUL 2015
Terra Nova
Reach HQ
The USHH-303 Hercules was one of the new transport ships has just arrived from Earth with more supplies and two hundred recruits. There was one in particular that JJ O'Neill was looking forward to seeing. He had in a way watched him grow up through the eyes of his father. JJ had read all the mission reports from after he and his progenitor had parted ways. What wasn't in the report was that General O'Neill had written a letter on Andy's behalf to the Air Force Academy's board of admissions. Andy had grown up on the mission report and exploits of SG1 as bedtime stories dreaming of going on off-world missions himself had him wanting to join the Air Force.
Lieutenant Andy Spencer, he was an accomplished pilot and a highly skilled technician. He had worked hard to get to where he was and his dreams were coming true. As he walked off the loading ramp The first thing he noticed was that the sky had a different huge to it the air was crisper easier to breathe and a large gas giant was setting off the in the distant sky. He was indeed on another world not that he doubted it with two weeks on the cargo ship. He hoped he would get a position on one of the many SG teams and not just on a combat team though it didn't matter for he was here. He did have an advantage over most of the other recruits a gene that was strong in his family's line. He remembered how the doctors had acted when he was tested back on earth.
As the recruits lined up information on the tarmac behind the landing craft that had brought them down. There was a tall woman with her fixed in a bun tight to head. Was standing next to a humvee was waiting for them to take notice of where they were. Holding a mic she called for them to come to attention. After a few seconds, she began to speak. "Welcome to Reach. I am Lieutenant Colonel Amy Gant. You will be here for a term of at least three weeks depending on your train to date we will instruct on the ways of space flight safety protocols that will one save you lives and the lives of your crews. Most of you have completed basic training back on earth and some have been through job training we will build on that knowledge to make you the finest shipmates as possible some will serve on our growing fleet of battlecruisers. While others may be placed on our SG teams. As you are all aware of we are in a state of war with the Aschen." She paused a minute. "We are glad you have joined in with us to win this war. Follow the green line to the building with a green roof to get father instructions. Dismissed."
A Marine Major stepped two the front of the formation. "At ten hut. Right face. Forward march."
As they filed away the landing craft took off only for another to take its place. While Gant was waiting to receive more of the recruits. She was a training instructor while waiting for a ship to call her own. Which all commanders would be serving as instructors on a rotating basis. Till more permanent instructors become available. This was still a new grounds and they were still in a development stage.

Terra Nova, Reach
Training Base
"Kees you and Gray take side entry. While Sanders and I are going to take the front door. Any questions?" Lieutenant Spencer asked his team.
"No Sir." They all said in unison.
"Ok when in position key the mic twice. Keep your eyes open." Spencer said. "Let's get this thing this time. Move out." The two times they had gone through the scenario before they were all killed.
As they got into position he set the thermite fuse on the lock. Once he heard that they were ready to set the fuse off. With a flash, the lock was gone and they were moving in. Pointing the In'tars around as they moved working their way to the center of the room. Once they were there was a device of unknown origin. Sanders began to examine it to determine whether it was safe to remove. It all looked to be so Kees picked it up slowly then they heard an ominous ticking sound.
"Sir we have triggered a booby trap," Sanders said removing the cover to reveled the bomb. She looked it over and seen the timer. "Sir we have 60 seconds before it blows." she continued working on it.
"Let's move out we got what we came for," Andy said getting ready to run.
"No Sir we want to be able to run far enough. This will take out a ten-mile radius. I'll have to disable it before we can leave." Sanders said as she pulled a cover back reviling some wires and crystals of different colors some flashing.
"Ok then. Cover her tell she gets it deactivated." The Lt said. "Gray look out!" He shouted jumping to push her down. A blast from a staff weapon hit where she was just standing. Kees spun around and fired three rounds into the man that had just shot at his teammate. Sanders ducked down when she saw another foe pecking out from around a crate. Spencer saw him firing at him as he fell from the second floor into some boxes. Gray had regained her composure and was on alert once again.
"Twenty seconds," Gray said as she looked down at the bomb time. Sanders still work to figure out just how to disable it.
With only ten seconds left on the timer, it was slowly ticking down. Nine Eight seven six it stopped. Sanders cut the greenish-yellow wire while pulling a yellow crystal. Then she pulled another panel to revile a block of weapons-grade Naquadah removed it. Stuffing it in her bag. They then proceeded to make their way out of the warehouse. Three more men jumped out from hiding firing staff weapons. The team hit the ground rolled for cover behind some crates. Aiming they hit two of the men while yet another was seen coming in from behind them.
"Lt, they are trying to get behind us!" Sanders said as she and Kees twisted around to take a shot at the newcomers.
Gray fired off three rounds hitting one of the men in front in the leg causing him to fall forward where she was then able to take him out. With only one more in front and the two that was behind. Kees gets a shot an takes out another one from the while Sanders gets the other one. Spencer brakes into a run toward the door while Sanders was laying down cover fire. When Spencer gets behind the last man and unloads six rounds in his back. The rest of the team get to him helping him to his feet then they brake into a run for the stargate. As they got to the gate Gray dialed the address to home. While Kees sent the GDO code and they went through.
The gate wasn't the real one of course but it was mission success. They were done this was the last challenge before they would be placed on teams. JJ had been watching the video feed at the HQ. He was impressed at how well they handled the ambush but was a little disappointed at how Andy was ready to leave before the bomb went off but liked the way he managed the problem. He was showing promise an would be a good match to replace Jenifer Hailey now that she has joined the fleet command as the new XO of the Hammond. He was going to need someone good with computers. Spencer was a well versed in that field as well as the stargates and the DHD's.
Three days later Andy Spencer was called into the HQ where he was meet by JJ O'Neill. "Sir Lieutenant Andy Spencer reporting as ordered." Stand at attention just inside the door of the briefing room.
"At ease Lieutenant," JJ said at his seat at the head of the table. "Have a seat. How are your parents your dad still in the bowling league?"
"No Sir. He stopped bowling a few years ago. My parents are doing fine Sir. Why are you asking?"
"Well, you know how I am don't you?" JJ asked then saw that he looked down at the name patch on his BDU.
"Yes, Sir. I have heard you were running Sg-1 now. Sir." Andy said. "May I ask what I'm doing here?"
"Well, I have a place on my team coming open and was wanting to know if you would like to be put in the drawing." O'Neill looking to see his actions. He was not disappointed he seen the boy like he had done through his father's eyes even though this was his first time to lay eyes on him.
"I… I don't know what to say, Sir. I have always wanted to join SG-1. Father told me about his stone. That caused him to see the mission reports that he told me growing up. Sir." Andy said still in shock from hearing that he may get to be part of SG-1 just wait to he tells his dad.
"Well, I haven't made up my mind just yet Lieutenant. I do have a lot of files to go through yet but you can rest a sure that you will be placed on one of the front line teams either at the Gama base or on one of the explorer ships. So tell me something that is not part of the files about your self?" O'Neill asks.
"Well, Sir if I do that then it would be part of the files, Sir," Andy said not knowing what kind of reaction he would get in return.
JJ looked at him for a minute then cracked a smile. "Good point Lieutenant. So have you been?"
"Good Sir," Andy said with a smile he was getting more comfortable around him.
They talked for about three hours and O'Neill finely got to know him a bit better and JJ realized that it was past lunchtime. "So you hungry?" He asked as he rubbed his stomach and stood up getting ready to leave.

Terra, Springfield
USAF HQ
"We have lost contact with Pangar. SG-11 has be going back and forth working on the new trade treaty. When they felled to make their scheduled check-in General Evens attempted to make contact with them but the gate would not lock. After running a gate diagnostic there was nothing wrong our gate. The Pangar gate is not shown to exists as if it was buried or destroyed." Cam said to Sam as they had their daily meeting. "I have Colonel Evert preparing the Icarus to go find out what has transpired."
"Have him take two of the 320s with him and take O'Neill and his team as well," Carter said trying to think of what could have happened to there gate. "Has there been any other gates go dark?"
"Not as for as I know. I'll have Dr. Ashley run a complete diagnostic on the gate system she may be able to determine that. We have also tried the long-range communications device and haven't gotten a reply as of yet."
"Well with so many of the Pangarans still having problems with withdrawal from the Tretinoin. Even the Tok'ra could not come up with a cure that works on them all. They are going through some bad times. They have been sending out teams to other words like us they could have come across something that has caused to set a self to destruct of their stargate. They did move it into an underground structure five years ago after we warned them of the Aschen." Carter reminded Mitchel as he was the well aware for he was the one that had told them of the threat and even sent a team to help get the stargate set up.
"I'll instruct Colonel Young approach under cloak tell he can determine what is going on down there. There is always the possibility of an Ashen attacked we haven't heard much out of them a late." Cam said as he picked up the cup off coffee and takes a sip.
"Yes, that thought has crossed my mind. The last time I spoke with Teal'c the Ashen was pulling back from occupied worlds using the scorched earth policy as they do." She maid a grimacing face.
"You think they learned that from us?" Cam asks hoping she wouldn't think the same way. They had done the same thing as they retreated from the planets they lost as well the other nations of Earth.
"I hate to say but it is a good possibility. We have done it on our planet in past wars but even we haven't done it against an inhabited planet. We only destroy our bases to keep them from getting any information about us." She said not looking happy about the thought. "What the Aschen are doing is criminal and they will be held accountable."
"If we win this one. Their still kicking our asses out there. We may have won a few battles here and there but they are still winning more." Cam throwing his arms up as in not knowing else to do.
''I know Cam but we are building as fast as possible. But we are still months away from having enough ships to turn the tide. The Jaffa under Bra'tac are still recovering their words and have pulled back from the offensive to refortify the words they recovered. The Alterra is mounting a massive offensive against the Wraith now and as for the Asgard, all I know is that they have cleared their protected planets. So we are still on our own so to speak."

ORBIT OF TERRA NOVA
Five hours later O'Neill and SG-1 were on the Icarus along with two of the X-320s. Colonel Young was are the bridge of his ship the Icarus as he has seen that his passengers were on board. "Helm open a channel to Delphi Station." She turned and gave him a nod. "Delphi Station this the Icarus we are ready to depart."
"Icarus this is Delphi Station you are cleared to depart." Came the reply from the station's coms Officer "Good luck see you when you get back." Delphi Station was one of the many space stations being built over strongholds. The Delphi station could watch over the entire system there was four other satellite around the planet along with servile other Asgard monitoring satellites on the out edges of the system. It was little more than a 304 without the nose. Two hangers on the side and a watchtower in center. While the CIC was at the hart. There was a mess hall in the center at what would be the front with a rec hall two decks down.
