Chapter Eighteen New Divisions

20 JUL 2015

ITHOR

FJN, CAPITOL

The USAF Hammond drops out of hyperspace and engages the cloak. Using the sublight they move toward the planet. There were four ships in orbit that could be detected. "Captain we have just received a message from Springfield. Checking for authentication now." Tapping the keys on the computer. "Message is authenticated. It reads hold position the Pangar crisis has been resolved. Wait for further instructions GAF Carter." TSgt Rollings said looking over his shoulder at the Captain.

"Well, we are here now. So let us just go ahead and scan the surface for the ambassador's locators. We did just come all this way." Col Anna Shaw the Captain of the USAF Hammond.

"Captain I have all twenty-four locator beacons. Twenty are in a basement while the other four are in a tower. According to the schematics, it is the Ambassador's quarters. The ones in the basement seem to be moving upwards now." Major Hall reported.

"Very well is there a communicator in the Ambassador's quarters?" Shaw asked. "If so open a channel I want to know the situation down there."

"Yes Ma'am, and it is on now. There was an encoded data burst just sent from the Ambassador's quarters." Rollings said. "Opening a channel now." Nodding to the Captain that he was ready.

"This is Colonel Shaw Captain of the USAF Hammond calling Ambassador Stone are you there?" A brief pause. "I repeat this is Colonel Shaw Captain of the USAF Hammond calling for Ambassador Stone."

"This is Aron Stone what can I do for you, Colonel Shaw?" Stone asked. "I wasn't aware we had a ship in the area."

"We were sent to retrieve you. Are you and your staff alright?" She asked.

"Yes, I was released a few hours ago. My staff is here with me now. The security team has just been released and are on their way up to our rooms now. I just sent the SGC my report in a data burst." Stone replied.

"Yes, we detected it. We received a message to hold our position just after we arrived here. We are cloaked in orbit ready to assist so what is your situation? Does any of your Staff need medical attention?" Captain Shaw asked.

"No Captain my staff and I are fine. There are a few bruises on the SOs from when we were detained. I will get back with you when they get up here to be sure." Stone stated. "Please hold off on beaming us out just yet. I have a meeting with the council in two hours to discuss what has happened over the last week."

"Captain! We are now detecting eight ships exiting hyperspace. Their weapons are powered. They are firing on the ships and the settlement." Reported Major Hall bringing them in to focus on the main viewer screen.

"Get our people out now." Captain Shaw said as two Ha'tak ships blowup raising her hand to shield her eyes.

"Got em!" Rollings said feeling relieved.

"Get us out of here. Take us to the outer rim of the system at maximum sublight." As one of the attacking ships was destroyed. The settlement below was being bombarded from space as the last two defending ships went into fireballs. "Send a data burst to command inform them of the situation. Get the Ambassador up here right away."

"What the hell is going on? I said not to beam us up." Stone said as he came onto the bridge. Then his eyes seen the view screen with all of the destruction. "My God, what has happened?" He asked as his demeanor changed.

"I don't know Mr. Stone. I was hoping you may shed some light on what has been going on down there?" Shaw said as she looked him in the eyes with a stern expression on her face.

"Well, the Jaffa Council has been divided into three groups here of late. Yat'Yir has been pushing to isolate themselves from the rest of the Galaxy. Trying hide from the Ashen thinking they want find them without the Stargates. They have lost a lot of worlds to the Aschen there weapons aren't very effective against those drones. Then some wish to join us in the fight against the Aschen. To keep the FJN independent. Most of those were on the surface down there. Then there are those wishing to just abandon FJN go their own way. Do you know who is attacking the planet?"

"No, ma'am. They were not broadcasting an IFF. They just dropped out of hyperspace and started firing with no warning. We were just able to get you out when they did." Shaw said looking out the viewscreen again.

"Captain we are picking up more ships coming. They are FJN." Rollings said. "They are firing on the other ships. These are the ships that were at Pangar." As two of the unknown ships exploded.

"Lower the cloak raise shields lock weapons on the unknown ships and fire," Shaw said pressing a button for the intercom. "Prepare for combat"

"Stop you can not fire on those ships. This may be an internal matter we cannot inter fear. Get us out of here now before we are detected. They must not know you are here. This could cause us to go to war with the Jaffa no matter who wins here today."

"Belay my last orders. Are you sure we are doing the right thing here Ambassador? We have a treaty with the FJN if we leave we may fracture what little progress we have made over the years." Shaw stated looking to Stone.

"I am aware of that Captain. But we do not know who those are. If they are Yat'Yir's followers then this is a civil war and we cannot interfere without the President's consent. Now take us out of here." Stone said with authority.

Blowing out a breath Shaw relented. "Helm plot a course to Tollona. Get us out of here." Looking at the Ambassador. "I hope you are right. Let's go to my office tell me everything that has been going on." As the Hammond made the transition to hyperspace. She left the bridge as did Stone. Looking at her second. "You have the bridge Commander."

"Aye aye, Captain." Said CDR Jeffry Collins of the US Navy he was training to take command of the Navies new ships that were being laid out now in two months he would be leaving the Hammond to oversee his new ships final construction.

Terra, Springfield

As the message came in from the Hammond. The coms officer quickly wrote it down then went to her CO. He read it then ran to General Carter's office. "Excuse the interruption Generals, but you need to see this." Handing her the paper.

She read the paper then looked at Cam handing it to him. "My god this can't be true. The Jaffa are at war with each other."

"Just when you think you are going to have a good day. So what can we do?" Cam asked.

"There is nothing we can do. This is an internal conflict and we can not interfere. Put our troops on alert. Have them not to fire on any Jaffa ship unless fired upon. Even then try to disable them if possible. This is bad for us in many ways. Yat'Yir's followers are still teaching Origin on their worlds and not the new version." Sam said shaking her head.

"Ho that's not good, Sam. I thought the Ori were all back in their galaxy now. And that Ryan was the new Orici teaching them new ways." Came Mitchel's response not liking this at all.

"He is but they were here for over two years preaching and have a lot of followers. There is the chance that some of to Priors didn't go back home after the Ark and are not part of the new order. So they may still be preaching the same old story that they have been." Sam said. "I will have to get Ryan here to bring them into his control."

21 JUL 2015

USAF HAMMOND

"Commander sensors have detected ships around a nearby planet we are coming upon. According to our charts, there is not to be any life there." TSgt Rollings said.

"Why is that Sargent?" CDR Jeffry Collins asked pulling up the data on his monitor.

"Well, Sir the planet is barely in the Goldilocks zone." Putting an image on the main viewer showing a system of six planets. With only one planet in the Goldilocks zone. It was slightly bigger than Earth with three moons. It was over half covered in ice and snow.

"Ok adjust our course to take us there. Drop us out on the outer edge then move us toward the planet. I'll go inform the Captain." The Commander ordered.

"Yes, Sir." TSgt Rollings smiled as they were going to do some exploring. It had been a long time since a ship has investigated a planet. Making course changes they dropped out of hyperspace making there way toward the planet. As they got closer they picked up three ships in orbit around the planet. They started moving toward the USAF Hammond.

Captain Shaw was in her seat watching the ships. "Open a channel." Seeing TSgt Rollings nod. "This the Earth ship USAF Hammond calling unknown vessels we come in peace and friendship." Rollings was running the ships through the database to try to figure out who they were.

"Earth has on ships that are space worthy. Come no closer are you will be fired upon. By the order of the Tollan High Council." Came the response.

"Did you say Tollan?" Shaw asked. "We saved some Tollans from Tollana a few years ago. We now are helping them to rebuild Tollana. I a sure you, we are from Earth and we come in peace. A lot has happened in the last few years the biggest is that the Goa'uld are defeated and what remains of them is in hiding."

"You found survivors on Tollana?" Came a new voice. "How many?"

"I believe it was around three thousand. They hid in some nearby mines and shielded themselves from sensors. When we found them they were merely a hunter-gather stage with no technology. Now they have rebuilt part of Tollana well as a city on Terra our new bass of operations. They have even formed their own Council."

"This is Chancellor Travell. Who is their Chancellor?" Travell asked disconcertingly.

"It is Chancellor Narim. He was the one that found a way for them to survive after the bombardment. If I may how many people do you now have." Shaw asked looking to TSgt Rollings for him to scan the planet.

"We have just over five thousand though many are in stasis pods. We do not have the supplies to provide for so many. It took us ten years to get here we were losing power so we had to settle here. This world is harsh we dissembled three of our ships to build our first settlement. Then we were able to build the other two. But we do not have the power we need to provide the food needed. Can you assist us?" Travell asked.

"I believe we can. Let me contact my superiors and I will get back to you." Shaw said then motioned to cut communications. "Open a secure channel to Springfield to General Carter I need to inform her of this right away. Sargent she is going to love this." Remembering the reports from when the Goa'uld attacked Tollana.

After a few moments, General Carter appeared on the screen. "Colonel what is the problem now. You have already ruined my day what else have you done?" Feeling frustrated and worn down.

"General I'm sorry about that but we have just found another colony with five thousand Tollans on it." Colonel Shaw seeing Sam's eyes widen when she heard the news.

"Well, Colonel Shaw that is great news indeed. Where are they at and how did you find them?" Carter said with the sound of glee in her voice. "I will notify Narim he will be pleased to hear that more of his people was able to escape the Goa'uld."

"Chancellor Travell has asked for our help it seems that the supplies are limited and many of the people are in stasis pods. They don't have the power to provide the food that is needed. The planet is barely in the Goldilocks zone and is a very harsh environment." Shaw seeing the smile fade from Carter stopped her report.

"Did you say Chancellor Travell Colonel?" Sam said sharply with a neutral face.

"Yes, General I did. It seems she is their Chancellor. I feel like you should send a ship with a stargate and set it up here. Their ships are not equipped with hyperdrives and it would take a lot of trips to ferry them to Tollana if that is what's going to happen." Shaw replied noticing the change in the Generals tone.

"Very well I will have the Glenn dispatched right away with a Stargate and a DHD. In the meantime see if Chancellor Travell would like for you to carry here to Tollana. I will have Narim meet with her there." Carter said thinking that she should head to Tollana.

After talking with Travell she agreed to let the Hammond take her to Tollana. Once onboard the Chancellor and her staff that she had brought with her were brought to the conference room. Where Colonel Shaw and Ambassador Stone was waiting to greet her. "Welcome onboard the USAF Hammond. Please have a seat we will be underway shortly." Shaw said then gestured to the seats around the table

"You said this ship is called the Hammond am I to take it then that General Hammond has passed away?" Travell ash as she was setting down.

"Yes, Chancellor I'm afraid so he passed away three years ago now I believe it is." Stone replied. "I am Ambassador Aron Stone one of the United States Ambassadors of Offworld Affairs it is a pleasure to meet you. I must say we are shocked that any ships were able to escape from Tollana. The last we had heard was that your ships were being shot down before being able to leave orbit."

"Many were not so lucky as our was. There were only six that managed to escape. How is it that Earth managed to survive the one called Tanith? Did you ever find the one he worked for?" Travell asked. "Who is in command of your SGC now? Where is Colonel O'Neill?"

"First this is a long story, but it was Colonel O'Neill. He was able to use the ancient device that downloaded their knowledge into his head. Where he was able to figure out what was needed to protect the planet from Anubis and destroy his fleet of ships that were attacking Earth. Teal'c killed Tanith on a mission just after Tollana was attacked. The Tok'ra sent a ship to Tollana to see if there were any survivors but was unable to detect any life signs." Shaw said as the ship made the jump into hyperspace. "General O'Neill is no longer with us. He has since joined with the Alterra. While General Mitchel is in command of the SGC that is now being headed up at our Gama site. He took over command of SG-1 after General O'Neill saw promoted to the head of Home World Command. This was after General Hammond had retired."

"I see. How is it that you have ships that now rival our own?" Travell asks looking around the ship see that it was way more advanced than any they had built.

"Well as you probably know we were looking for a way to fight the Goa'uld. We managed to capture some death gliders then other Goa'uld ships. We made some progress in building our ships. Then the Asgard helped by giving us some new hyperdrives and weapons after we saved them from their Enemy in their galaxy. It has been one thing after another since then." Stone stated, giving a brief description on the way of things. "General Carter is in command of all of our off-world affairs now. While we are in a state of war with a people called the Aschen who has attacked us and many worlds across the Galaxy."

"So much has changed I see. How many ships do you have now if I may ask?" Travell saw them share a look.

"We have eight like this one with two more almost completed and five that are of a similar design that is used as cargo ships. Others are being built now as well that is even larger." Stone said. "Other countries of Earth now have their fleets as well. With with servile worlds of their own."

"How is this possible? When we last had contact you were not this advanced. Something has transpired to propel you in such away." Travell feeling very uneasy now. This was more then she could believe something was amiss.

"Chancellor we will be at Tollana shortly. There you shall learn all that has happened in the last fifteen years. General Carter and Narim well fill you in. But we are no longer that little backwater planet you remember. Our world is now aware of the stargate and space travel. Many have moved away from Earth to our colony worlds. Which, this has eased our economies of Earth reducing the population. We are even cleaning the planet of pollution by using cleaner power generation technologies." Stone said as he paused to let it sink in. "I well tell you what I can now while we travel to help pass the time. The Asgard gave us a data core containing all of their knowledge when they committed suicide by blowing up their homeworld or so we were lead to believe. Latter one of our young Air Force Captains found a repository of knowledge that was left by the ancients. It transformed him into an Alterra or Ancient as you may know them. He found out what the Asgard had done and has since brought them back to full health."

"So it was this Captain that was turned to an Alterra as you say that has given you this knowledge?" Travell asked.

"No, we have learned most of it from the Asgard's data core. The story about the Captain is a long one by its self." Shaw said as the ship made the transition to real space. "We have arrived at Tollana now if you will Chancellor. I will escort you to the ring room."

"We couldn't be there already? It has be lease than an hour?" As they got up to leave the room she looked out the window to see that they were truly there. "I see." Was all she said as they got up and walked to the ring room. Where they then were transported to the surface.

21 JUL 2015

TOLLANA

Looking around Travell seen that this wasn't the same place that they had left behind. It was not that large of a city and the buildings were of a new design with a familiar feel. There were four guards there waiting to guide her to the new Council chambers. After a brief greeting, she followed them to the meeting place. The new members of the Curia were gathered in a half-circle on one end of the room. With a table setting in front with five seats. As Travell came inside she felt uneasy something was wrong she could feel it.

"Welcome back to Tollana Chancellor Travell," Narim said in a stern voice looking at her as she walks to the table and stood there a moment.

"Thank you Narim it is good to be back. I see you have been busy rebuilding our world. The Tollan people will be pleased that so much has been none." She said still feeling uncomfortable.

"Yes, we shall welcome our people back home. There is much work to be done to rebuild our civilization to what it was. We have recovered most of our databases and have been able to build what we need with the help of our friends from Earth. Since my time as the Chancellor, we have formed an alliance with them and a sharing of technologies. They are providing us with the hyperdrives and helping to build us new ships. They have also help to rebuild this settlement. We have allowed them to build one of their basses here and they are mining Trinium for us to share." Narim said gesturing to the cityscape seen through the windows at the back of the room.

"I see. Narim you know very well the it is against our highest laws to share technology with other races. This is something that will be addressed as soon as we can gather our people. You are to step down as Chancellor now to be placed under arrest still you can face Triad." Travell said trying to remain calm. Keeping her voice even as she spoke.

"Chancellor Travell you are right there will be a Triad but not for me. I hereby charge you with concealing government records, deleting files from the public records, conspiring with the enemy to commit genocide against our friends and allies. Providing technology to our enemy. Conspiring to commit the murder of Chancellor Omoc. The full list of these and the other charges will be read to you at Triad. You shall be held in custody till a Triad can be held. Guards take her away." Narim said fighting back the anger that was trying to take over him. She was dumbfounded as she heard what he was saying but remained calm.

Her guards went to protect her then seen that they were way outnumbered so they stood down. Travell was then carried off to a holding cell which was just one of the many rooms that had been built. There was no need to try and lock her up for if someone tried to help her escape it could be done with the phase-shifting device.

Narim closed the Curia as they all went to their do other tasks. He then went to the room where Carter had been waiting and watching. "Well, what do you have to say?" He asked her as the door closed.

"I must say that I am surprised. I can't believe that she had the gall. To order you to step down to prepare for Triad. After all that she has done. So what is going to happen now?" she asked coming to his side. Seeing that this was hard on him facing her after so many years. He had hoped it would never come to this.

"Once our people are back to gather she will be placed on Triad and if found guilty her punishment will be decided. We do not have a death penalty so she may either be imprisoned or banished. There is even the chance she is set free but stripped of ever holding any position of authority." Narim said in his calming voice.

TERRA NOVA, Reach

USAF TC

After the Pangar crisis, JJ O'Neill had returned to Reach. While Captain Bennett took leave and went back to Earth to see her mother. Lt Andy Spencer had to finish some training onboard the USAF Washington. Which would take about two more months? This put O'Neill with nothing to do. "General you wanted to see me, Sir." The Colonel asked after he entered the room. "What can I do for you?"

"Ah yes! Colonel, I have a little mission for you. With so many men on leave now I'm short on commanders. It's nothing much just need you to escort a few supply missions. Need you to do inspections on their security protocols. Make sure they have been updated and to look for any weaknesses they may have. It should only take a few weeks. Spend a few days on each one go through some training exercises. I have heard how much you like put men through the mud." General Rodgers said with a smile.

"Yes, Sir. Be glad to help it bets setting around on my hands. So where to first?"

The Colonel asked he really didn't like the idea of playing delivery boy but would relish at the chance to play drill instructor.

"Major Rollings please give Colonel O'Neill the orders so he can be on his way. I'm sure he has things that are needed to be taken care of before he leaves." General Rodgers said. As the Major came in the office. "Have a good Trip Colonel. Dismissed."

"Yes, Sir." O'Neill gave a salute then he and the Major walked out.

After getting to the Major's desk he gave O'Neill the package. "I believe the first stop is Pennsylvania it is one of our older mining sites. We have an airfield that is under construction and a firebase not far from the stargate. They have .50 cals at the gate along with some handheld missile launchers. We have started to build a small town near the gate so we can bring in more miners and farmers. There is going to be a factory there as well after we can get the manpower. So do you have any questions?" the Major asked.

"No Major Rollings I think that I can take it from here. But it sounds like the gate needs more armaments." O'Neill said as he turned to go. After looking over the orders he saw that he wasn't scheduled to move out for three more days. So he had some time on his hand and it was getting late in the day. After stopping off at the mess hall he went to his quarters. Turning on his computer he saw that there were some new episodes of the Simpsons that had been uploaded to the network media along with a few new movies. "Well, at least there is something new to Watch."

28 JUL 2015

P7T-882

Pennsylvania

After his arrival through the stargate on Pennsylvania, the gate shut down. Before they had pulled away it began to light up with an incoming wormhole. O'Neill jumps off the truck he was on ordering them to move out quickly. Getting to the fox hole on the right side of the gate just in time to see four large kenobis come through before the gate closed. The fire teams opened on them.

One man went for the DHD to dial out to Reach to call for backup. After pressing all seven symbols he pressed the activation button. The unstable vortex took out the drone that was last out. The other drone fired two shots at the man at the DHD kill him before he could call for help. It then went through the wormhole hitting the iris on the other end. Two down two to go. The first drone hit the fox hole on the left of the gate killing all that was there. Seeing this O'Neill order them to move out. The men started running through the woods that were thick with underbrush hoping to escape. But the drones released the smaller hunter Kenobis that spread out firing blue beams at all they saw.

O'Neill jumped over logs dove under bushes only to climb out the other side of them. He was following what looked like a trial to his left but wasn't sure till he saw four men running in his direction. 'Dropdown!' He heard one of them shout. Diving behind some large roots. The men opened fire a grenade launcher hitting one of the small kenobis. It blows in a flash of light. But many more were coming. Getting to his feet he began to run again. "Move out there right behind me," O'Neill said as he ran past them. He hates it when he right. Thinking back when he was in the Majors office.

{Well a lot is going on in this chapter so tell me how you feel about it in the reviews. With the Jaffa in a state of civil war. With the finding of more Tollan people. With Narim charging Chancellor Travell with the crimes. So let me know. To get what happens next this is where Learning Curve in ROTA is at. At least my story.}
