[Here is my next chapter finely. Sorry for the delay I have done a rewrite on all of the earlier chapters. There are no big changes just a few words here and there to fix the grammar issues make it better. Using a new program now and it is helping a lot. With that said I should be able to get back on schedule. After reading do not forget to leave a review at the end. Thanks for reading and come back soon.]
[Enjoy!]
Chapter Twenty Three The Aftermath
12 JAN 2013

Springfield
With all that, Samantha Carter has learned during her now twenty-plus years within the stargate program is that there are a lot of human and alien races out there in the universe, not all of them friendly. Since the Ori came in their massive ships and went unscathed through an armada of Goa'uld, Earth and Asgard ships she and other scientists had been planning larger ships but had not had enough resources to build them. So now that the stargate was declassified and there was now the threat of the Ashen attacking Earth again. Now would be the time.
She and Alex Colson had been planing a new class of ships since the arrival of the Ori. There had never been a budget to do so. The BC-304s were great little ships they are a multifunctional platform. They have the power and speed unseen by most ships of a larger size. The biggest fallback was that the life-support was a finite system and space was limited. With a long voyage, it would need a waypoint to resupply and replenish the air supply.
Colonel John Sheppard had helped to save a people that had been stored using a downed Wraith dart. They had found a way to modify it in a shuttle that was found inside a hollowed-out asteroid. They had let the Atlantis team study the device in exchange for their help in rebuilding their world. The Atlantis team had recovered servile from the downed ships that they had come across, sending some back to Earth to be studied. They were never able to grow the organic composition but with the use of the Asgard data core, they had found a way to emulate it. They found that they could store goods and supplies while being able to pull them up on demand. This find would mean that a smaller ship could carry more supplies thus able to take longer missions.
Cater had approved the building of twelve new ships. Of these new ships, there would be a formation of five task force fleets. While most of the support ships of the first fleet were ready the CV-750 wasn't even close. Within each task force, there would be a supercarrier, two carriers, two battleships, eight frigates and sixteen corvette cruisers a medical ship an explorer ship a troop-support ship and troop transport ship along with the smaller support ships. With the larger hexagon hangars, each of the carriers will be able to carry forty F-302s and eight raptors.

Now Earth was under attack and lives were at risk, there wasn't any time to waste. "Alex, we need to activate the time dilation device at the shipyard around Mustafar's Beta moon. See if you can get some of your people to volunteer to go there to complete the station and complete the ships for the first two fleets. We need those ships now and we can't wait any longer." Sam said the fear could be heard in her voice. She had been dreading this moment for a while and now it has come whether she was ready or not.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.
"No, but we have no choice now. They are at Earth now and we have to save them. The two CV-750s are space worthy so we will send them there to be completed. It shouldn't take but six months. Alice will be able to do most of the work but we need someone there to oversee it. We only have a few hours till this will be over. So we must act swiftly." Sam confirmed her choice.
General Carter was fearing the worst since the call form Earth came through. She and Alex enacted a fail-safe plan that they had come up with. The shipyard that was under construction at Mustafar's Beta moon was only twenty-five percent complete but everything needed to complete it was there. Carter asked for forty people to volunteer to give up six months of there lives to finish building the first of the two new task-forces.
They had built in a time dilation device into the station. Once everyone was in place it was activated. The field had taken up Mustafar and both its moons. While Sam knew one could live out a lifetime in a fraction of a second this was set to carry out a year in an hour. This was taking place in the time it was going to take for General Mitchel to get to Earth with his assembled fleet. With any luck, she planned to be there shortly afterward to assist. While the device had run it's coarse and it had shut down after two hours. There were now two of the new CV-750s, two BS-700s, two BC-550s, eight FE-350s, sixteen EC-200s two MS-400s two, two ES-450s, two TS-650s, two TT-600s and all of the other support ships that go with them.
The time dilation field lasted for only two hours but it was more like two years within the field. They were supposed to of only been in for six months, which would have only been thirty minutes on the outside. But do to some compilations it had taken them longer to complete the two of the two task-forces. Once the device was turned off the ships were completed.
"What happened took so long? You were only to go for six months. It has taken you two hours the fighting has intensified they brook fast our first line and or now fighting near Earth." Sam asked when Alex came into view on the screen.
"It's good to see you to Samantha, its been along time. We had a few problems to work out. But we were able to complete our task. They are headed to you now. So if you don't mind it has been a long two years and we need a vacation now." Alex said with a weary look on his face.
"Wow, it has only been two hours. You can go anywhere you want after we get back. Thank you to both you and your team. We now have a chance to save Earth. Mitchel is almost there now so we need to get underway too." Sam replied.
"No Sam, we just hope it was done in time. Now get there as swiftly as you can to save Earth." Alex said ending the coms.
Sam would take command of the first CV-750 TA/SS Enterprise with its four FE-350s and it's eight EC-200s that were already docked together. The medical ships MS-400 the Fraiser and MS-400 the Nightingale were both dispatched to aid in the recovery effort. The MS-400s are four hundred meters long two hundred fifty meters wide two hundred twenty-five meters tall with the two vertical Asgard faster type intergalactic hyperdrives. There are four hangers along each side of the ship. They opened off to the sides each one can hold two R-320s. There was a single hanger on top center for the receiving transports for patients. Even with Asgard beams, there was a need for transporting patients. There were four Asgard weapons beams along with twenty low-grade beams for point defense all weapons. These wear hidden with the hull of the ship as to not attract attention as a treat. There are a thousand beds, twenty operating rooms, one deck was an isolation ward. Asgard shields, transport beam, ring transport, MMBS, MBSS, MBS, AI.
The crews that had already came from Reach after boarded them and made the leap into hyperspace. Before they made it to Earth they had received word that the Aschen had been defeated. But they were able to hit the planet with the bioweapon. It would still take them two hours to make the journey to Earth. While the rest of the second task-force was split up and sent to reinforce the other worlds.
There were a few new safety features that had been added. The first was the Matter Beam Safety Storage System and a Matter Beam Storage. The MBSS was installed on all new craft and was scheduled to be placed in all other ships on their next maintenance updates. This was to prevent the loss of life if the ship loses life support or if the ship blows up. The onboard AI would lock onto all personal on board and store their life patterns in the massive buffers of the transporter. If someone was to get spaced do to a hull breach it would automatic beam them to safety if at all possible. This system could also be used to evacuate up to twenty thousand people off a planet in an emergency. It was housed in a Trinium casing with a power source for shields and cloak the AI could hide the core from enemy ships. This was something that Carter had been working on for years since the loss of the Prometheus. Then after their more recent loss of the Kidd and now with the Strasbourg and any others that may be lost. She was not wanting to send any more of those types of letters back to the crew's families.
The medical ship the Fraiser took command of all medical needs and beamed all the doctors from the SGC on board. Dr. Lam and Dr. Casandra Fraiser were on board as Dr lam was in command of the ship. Then they began to do their jobs on both medical ships. People in the infected areas were being plucked up and treated. While other teams were taking out the kenobis.
The CV-750 TA/SS Enterprise began to beam the debris from the fallen ships into a matter storage buffers to be recycled. This was done for servile reasons to gather mater to repair the damaged ships and to clean the space around Earth. The ships that were damaged in the fight had begun repairs. Once the Enterprise had enough martial in the buffers it deployed the dry dock from under its belly. Where it could work on two to three ships at a time.
The battle had taken its toll there was the loss of two 304s and three of the CE-307s. Most of the crews were able to beamed off before their ships were lost. Three of the 304s severely crippled and the three other CE-307s damaged. Two of the EC-200s had taken damage but were able to make it back into their hangers of the CV-750 to be repaired. While the fleet of 304s that had been called back to Earth were all doing patrols around the solar system. Task-forces one and two were now completed with three halfway done. Now all the 304s could be used solely to defend Earth and its colonies. The new ships could be anywhere in the galaxy within a few hours now.
While seeing how the US's and Russia's 304s fared the other governments wanted the upgrades. When the US's new style of ships came into orbit. It had shifted the scales of power to the US. As they quickly became the talk around the world. This was becoming a heated debate within the UN. This along with the attacks on the UK colonies and now Earth. There was even more talk about unifying the planet and its colonies. Unification protests started popping up around the world. While the US claimed that they would not use their ship against a country on Earth. But there was still mistrust between some nations.

On Earth, the containment teams had already begone to neutralize the infected areas. There was more damage to the wildlife in and around the areas affected. The zoos most of all. Outside animals and plants were all wiped out in the areas. The few people that either hadn't heard or headed the warnings fell victim to it as well. While the ships were beaming people out of the areas to medical facilities.
Other troops were hunting down the kenobis it was going to take time to get them all off the planet. There were servile hundreds of the kenobis spread out over the globe. Fireteams from Reach were brought in, they were using the new handheld Asgard beam riffles. These were doing the job quite well at taken them out with only two to three shots. It only took a week to clear them off the planet. There were only a few thousand people that were killed planet-wide but the loss of crops and livestock was going to cause the biggest problems.
While doing the medical evacuations the medical ships picked up twenty-three unexpected guests. There were eight from France, six from the UK, and nine from China. They were picked up in random locations. There was one that was flagged to be none other than the former Vic President Robert Kinsey. When the Goa'uld found themselves being held in the isolation wards. When Kinsey saw where he was at he became furious for he knew they had found him and that there would be no escape.

Sol Terra Prime Earth
It had been two weeks since the attack. Life was returning to normal for most of the planet. There had been an all-clear given for the affected areas as teams had cleared the dead animals and plants. Fields had to be burned off and the soil was being tested for any long term contaminants. That was the biggest fear of the farmers and landowners. It would take three to four years to recover from the losses. The world would have to rely on trade from the colonies. Instead of the Earth providing for them.
The Goa'uld had been transferred to the Brig of the Enterprise under top security. Word of their capture and arrival was deemed classified. This was something that Sam And Mitchel want to keep this information from getting out. Even though they hadn't caught all the Goa'uld that is on Earth. They had given them a crippling blow with the capture of Kinsey. This would make Hera rethink her plans for Earth now that she knew they had been found out about her.
The IOA had lost all credit and faith of the people of Earth. The other countries colonies had been hit as well. The UK had lost one colony and nearly another. While the Chinese had lost three colonies that hadn't even been reported but to a few. This was some of the things that were being learned from the captured Goa'uld. The French had lost one colony as well. The information they were getting from some of the Goa'uld was incredible. Kinsey was one of the most forthcoming of the Goa'uld. His bragging and gloating were almost too much for Sam to take.
Leif, since his capture was dressed in an orange jumpsuit. Standing with his hands and feet cuffed in chains. He was being walked down a long hallway to a transport pad that was of Aschen origin. As he reached the end the guard pushed him into a transport hub and keyed in his passcode. He was beamed onboard the bridge of the Enterprise the new CV-750. He was treated to a view out the forward viewport to the fleet of ships that could be seen in orbit. There was, the Excalibur and the Armageddon, the BC-55Os Columbia and Challenger, the four FE-350s, the ten EC-200s, twelve 304s, and two MS-400s the Fraiser, and the Nightingale. The two medical ships where there was still some MR-320s were making frequent trips. Before he put in a cell in the brig, he was being transferred to the prison planet where the other Ashen were being held.
Upon seeing this, Leif, it hit him that the Aschen would not stand a chance any longer. That this war would soon come to an end with the Aschen on the losing side. After these new ships came into sight they had taken out all their craft with little to no damage. The Ashen with all there ships that they had built wouldn't be able to stand against this fleet. For the Aschen had no foreknowledge of these ships and would not be able to adapt to the new reality. From what he had overheard from the crew was that this was only one of their new fleets.

General Carter was sitting at her desk reading the latest reports from the assault on one of the Aschen's outer worlds. This was the third of such assaults since the battle for Earth. They had cleared the worlds of the Aschen's influence. There were forty more worlds on the list that they had gathered. The Jaffa ware working on a list of their own.
There were two reports of worlds that had been raised. From the amount of damage and radiation. It was a Naquadah in fused nuke set off near where the stargate was. The blast had leveled the whole city for miles. Causing a nearby Naquadah mine to blow that had caused even more damage. It would be years if not centuries before it could be inhabited again.
From the interrogations of both the Aschen and the Goa'uld prisoners. These attacks were carried out by the Chinese suicide bombers in cloaked ships. They would not say from where they were coming from. But Sam had some ideas about that. This was low even for the Chinese and had Goa'uld wrote all over it.
The other thing that was bothering her was that the Aschen wasn't trying to hold their worlds very hard. There was little resistance. There were a minimal amount of ships and kenobis drones. Either they had pulled back to protect their homeworld or they were moving against another target.
There was also a report that four other colonies had been hit with the Aschen's bioweapon. The weapons platform had dropout of hyperspace almost on top of the planet. Releasing its missiles before any notice they were there. This only fueled the war effort back on Earth. Sam was wanting to know why they were not detected in hyperspace knowing that the IOA had the same copy of the Asgard core she did. Why hadn't they installed the satellites as she had done? After doing some digging she found that the IOA was selling them and that the parent counties wasn't paying for them. So Sam leaked this information to the press back on Earth. This put the IOA under the spotlight once again.
Carter had sent word to the Tok'ra requesting their help in extracting the Goa'uld from her prisoners. But they were in hiding once again after an attack on their new homeworld. Most of them had been able to escape but they lost thousands of new symbiotes that were in raising the pools waiting to be joined. The Tok'ra had made an alliance with a world that had once been a breeding planet for the Goa'uld to be used as a hoist. Those that wished to be joined with a Tok'ra were being trained in various skills, well as what to expect after the joining.
Colonel Jennifer Hailey was sent to aid the Tok'ra in relocating to a new homeworld this was her command assignment As the Captain of the TA/SS 550 Independence. She had with her two of the FE-350s and four of the EC-200s. Task-force Three was a signed to the planetary defense of allied worlds. Though only partly completed the ships that were done were sent into action. While Colonel Ronson was placed in command and was promoted to General. His CV-750 the TA/SS America was not yet completed. So he had said goodbye to the SSAF Phoenix and was using the BS-700 Independence as his flagship.
Colonel Caldwell was promoted to General and placed in command of Task-force One using the Enterprise as his flagship. Colonel Ellis was promoted to General and given Task-force Two using the TA/SS Olympus as his flagship. They were the ones that brought the war to the Aschen. With the information that had been gathered, they had a list of planets the Aschen now controlled. They had been taking them down one at a time to reduce the Aschen's influence on the galaxy.
While Colonel Young had turned down the command of the forth Task-force. He had requested to be placed in command of an explorer ship. That would work with the SG teams to make contact with other races that are off the gate network. The ES-450 has the look of a 304 but with a more rounded shape, the side hangars were part of the main ship instead of just off to the side. These were more of what would be a science ship. It has two of the Asgard's vertical intergalactic hyperdrives. It was jammed with sensors of all types ready for the unknown. They were the last on a list of priorities but the first one was nearly completed. There would be one attached to each task-force and others made to be of its fleet of ships.
{Sorry there was a lot of just narrating here there was just a lot of information I wanted to tell. I had a little trouble with this one having to splice up some of my first drafts. The previous chapter was spontaneous and caused me to rethink where I was going. I hope you were able to follow it. Please give any pointer as to where it goes off the board. Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a review.}
