Review replies:

RoyalTwinFangs: Thanks for the offer but I wish to stick with canon characters as much as possible. Ships, however, would come a bit later.

capctr: Thanks. That background took a week of editing before I was happy with uploading. I don't have an area of study yet :D. I just did a bit of reading on those topics because it fascinated me. As for the beta, since this is my first major work, I'd rather get it out there by myself. Tanks for the offer though.

jabberulez: We are likely going to see more of Aiyana. She was always a point that I thought wasn't used enough by MGM. Lots of good story potential wasted. Unless something comes up in the future, I believe that I would use Aiyana again. The Dursleys are actually going to be nice in this story. More on that in the post chapter information.

PappaOldGuy: Thanks! As for the main characters, I would stick to those in canon as much as possible. Most OCs would have fleeting appearances. That being said, the canon characters could be quite OOC as this Earth is set two thousand years ahead technologically and culturally. It also helps that deep down, the Terrans wish for vengeance.

To the rest of my reviewers: Thanks! It's great to have your support. Remember, any questions that I could answer such as clarifications, etc. Ask them and I will try to answer (If it isn't plot critical).

Chapter 2: First contact


Elysium, Mars, 1986 ATU

It was to be the first mission through the stargate since its uncovering over a thousand years ago. The hive mind pulsed softly in the background. Over the years, the feelings of intense hate towards the Goa'uld have diminished but it never fully subsided –understandable as the new Terran life expectancy was over 1,500 years and many of the close descendants of people who lost family members were still alive. The stargate had been inactive ever since it was first unearthed. Thanks to the information from the Alteran outpost, the Terrans knew of the device's purpose and deliberately avoided activating it sooner in favour of repairing Terra and improving Terran technology to more effectively combat the threat. But now, with Terran technology development slowing, the use of the stargate to travel one of Ra's planets in order to acquire more technology to reverse engineer was becoming an attractive prospect. If a hyper drive system could be secured, the Terrans could expand out of their home system, thus alleviating the increasing population issues and secure Terra against enemy capital ship scale threats.

To achieve such a goal, the terraformed Mars, which was originally assigned for colonisation (and never colonised due to internal issues on Terra), was reassigned to be used specifically for Stargate Command. The Terrans were not ignorant enough to think that just because a threat comes to another planet in the solar system that it can't affect Terra. In that regard, Mars became a full fortress world. Dedicated facilities were constructed to facilitate large military movements both through the stargate and through space.

On one side of the continent, a massive four level complex was constructed for stargate operations. The entire facility was located a kilometre underground. The first, topmost level contained the infantry housing and armouries. The second held research labs, workshops, life support, power generators and just about anything else needed for the base to function. The third held the gate itself, the control room and a space large enough to assemble a small army. The last level held a dedicated garage, with both gate capable aircraft and land based vehicles. Depending on demand, aircraft and vehicles could simply go up the gravity lift to the third level and deploy or the gate could be lowered into the forth level and vehicles deployed directly from the garage. Access to the surface was provided by four massive gravity lift systems.

On the other side of the continent, a massive subspace monitoring station was set up to continuously scan the surrounding space and hyperspace. Surrounding this station was a number of large shipyards, each holding a dozen slips. Every slip is capable of building and maintaining kilometre long capital ship, although they were currently empty. Under each construction slip, an array of 36 AMFURs and a single MAMAR sat, waiting to be called into action to provide the power necessary to slowly fabricate entire ships from pure energy. On yet another side of the continent, another massive manufacturing facility loomed. This matter resequencer factory was powered by 72 AMFURs and two MAMARs and could build handheld weapons in seconds or vehicles in under an hour. This is, of course, without directing energy away from civilian manufacturing. The factory's primary source of raw matter to resequence came from the waste produced by the civilian city. Located in the middle of the continent was Elysium City, a massive city of skyscrapers which contained most of the civilian population of Mars. Each person in the city had at least one direct family member who served in the military. A network of 288 AMFURs and 8 MAMARs provided power to the city.


Stargate Command, Elysium, Mars, 1991 ATU

Colonel O'Neill of the Terran Air Force stood in front of the ring. His team, consisting of Captain Samantha Carter, Doctor Daniel Jackson, Major Louis Ferretti and Major Charles Kawalsky, stood a few steps behind him as they watched the inner ring of the stargate rotate.

'You know what to do', O'Neill sent over the hive mind. 'But in case you don't, keep your usage of psionics to a minimal. We don't know if they could detect it. We are to scout the area for potential targets. If we find any, we are to tag it for retrieval. If we find any threats, we are to determine if they could be eliminated. If they could be, we dial the gate and tell the SGC so they can send the Off World Assault teams. '

"Yes, sir!" his team replied aloud as they disconnected themselves from the Terran hive mind.

The gate opened with an explosion of destructive unstable energy which came to a stop a centimetre from O'Neill's nose before being sucked back into the gate with a splash. He fingered his phase rifle and checked his armour once more before General Hammond interrupted him. "SG-1, you have a go. Good luck and Godspeed."

Gate room, Unknown planet

When they emerged from the gate, they were covered with frost and immediately, O'Neill willed the flashlight of his rifle to activate. Instantly responding, the phaser lit up along the front and sides, bathing the surrounding area with a soft white glow. Captain Carter shivered at the frost and said something about the SGC's dialling computer not being fully calibrated yet. Seeing no threats, O'Neill ordered his team to move out.

Making their way out of the massive structure, Doctor Jackson looked back and breathed out in awe at seeing an almost exact replica of the Ancient Egyptian pyramids. Upon seeing no discernible threats, Colonel O'Neill turned towards Captain Carter. "Carter, set up the scanners."

"Yes sir," she replied, easily shrugging off a backpack which would have made a man 2000 years ago collapse under its weight. And so the team kept watch while Carter ran a full perimeter survey with the heavy monitoring equipment. A while later, she reported her findings: "Sir, I have detected installations of some kind approximately 6 and 10 kilometres away. I'm reading human life signs!"

"Human," O'Neill mused aloud. "They must be descendants of the ones that the Goa'uld Ra kidnapped from ancient Earth. Let's go investigate." He looked around once more. "Carter, Ferretti and Kawalsky stay here and secure the area. Jackson, you're with me." With that, he turned around and started walking towards the installation that Carter pointed out, with Jackson following behind.


4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, Terra

In the basement of the massive skyscraper, Harry Potter was busy practicing his psionics to ready himself for the task of spying on the Wizarding World. It was going to be tough, as his aunt Petunia briefed him about the Wizarding World over 5 years ago, he would be a famed celebrity –something that he hates. He also hated the fact that they were so… Primitive! But he would do it. The Terran hive mind must know the full story from all sides, both pleasant and the stuff that somebody wants to sweep under the rug. Being the Boy-Who-Lived, he would be able to acquire information from many sources that were inaccessible to previous spies.

Harry's psionic shield blocked yet another fireball hurled his way by his three training partners- other Terran kids whom volunteered to help out. He shifted slightly and raised his right arm, a sphere of pure energy materialising with a blue glow. A kinetic shockwave smashed into his shield, too slow to compensate, the energy transferred itself into his body and sent him flying backwards, landing on the floor with a thump. Doggedly refusing to give up, he focused once again and stabilised the ball of energy he held, which was threatening to explode due to the disruption of his concentration. Spotting a beam of crimson energy heading his way, he quickly rolled out of the way and unleashed his own psionic attack towards the offender. He watched his psionic lightning hurl across the distance in a split-second… Then cursed as it crashed into the girl's psionic shield, shattering into a thousand tendrils of energy which skittered harmlessly across the shield's surface before dissipating. He paid for his inattentiveness, as the other two kids took the opportunity to blast him from behind as he watched his attack fail. He flew forward, engulfed in psionic flames after he took a fireball and shockwave in quick succession. He crashed into the girl's psionic shield; a rock solid surface meeting a considerably less solid face. With a crunch, Harry's nose broke and he slid to the ground. A second later, he was hit by a blast of lightning and yet another shockwave, finally losing consciousness.

Harry woke up in the basement, feeling refreshed. He had a slight tingling sensation in his body, indicating the use of healing psionics. He looked around, finding the faces of his partners.

"You did well today," his cousin, Dudley Dursley remarked. The girl, Hermione Granger, another spy-in-training, nodded with a smile. The other, older boy, whose name he did not know, grinned smugly.

Harry sighed. "Still lost though," he muttered.

"It was three against one!" Hermione huffed. "I'm not surprised you lost. But you did last a lot longer than the previous time."

"Again!" Harry demanded, determined to win at least one round by the end of the day.

"You're on," the-one-whose-name-he-did-not-know replied.

And so it began again, another 3 versus 1 battle.


Desert, Mine for element 'Naquadah', Unknown planet

Jonathan 'Jack' O'Neill and Daniel Jackson observed the people toiling away in the Naquadah mine in front of them from the cover of the dune they were hiding behind.

"Well," Daniel muttered. "Not sure why they're mining Naquadah. It's doubtful that they're advanced enough to use it."

"So, Goa'uld?" Jack asked.

"Probably"

Suddenly, somebody spotted them and shouted out, attracting the attention of everybody working in the mine. With a sigh, Jack and Daniel stood up and walked out to meet them.

"Well, you're up," Jack told Daniel.

"What? Why me?"

"You're a linguist!" Jack replied exasperatedly. "I don't spend all my spare time downloading ancient languages from the hive mind!"

"Downloading languages?! There's a lot more to archaeology than that! I don't spend all my time downloading!"

By now, the natives had already gathered and were looking at the two strangers, flummoxed. Daniel stepped forward and attempted a greeting.

"Uh… Hi," he said. "We are-"

Daniel was interrupted as the man in front of him started shouting something and suddenly, everybody fell to their knees and kowtowed.

"What did you say to them?" O'Neill inquired, even though he was well within hearing range.

"I didn't say anything, I swear!"

O'Neill stepped forward and pulled a particularly daring kid to his feet after reassuring him that he wasn't going to be hurt. As soon as O'Neill released him, he turned and ran, shouting something along the way.

"Right, I've had it. These people are obviously not advanced enough to detect psionics and honestly, this planet is pretty much barren except for the…settlements. Daniel, I want you to use your psionics and learn their language. Let's form a local psionic network."

Daniel rolled his eyes and formed a psionic link between the team. Knowledge instantly began flowing between the members. Next, Daniel subtly sent a telepathic probe into the minds of the natives, quickly finding and downloading their language.

'You don't spend your time downloading languages? Wasn't that what you said?' Daniel could feel O'Neill's amusement flow through the link and stifled the urge to groan and continued downloading information from the Abydonians' minds, all without being noticed. When Kasuf arrived, the entire team could now speak flawless Abydonian, which was really the Goa'uld language. They also learned that the world belonged to Ra. A sinister smirk had begun to develop on the team's lips. What better target than the one which got Terra into all this trouble in the first place? After a brief exchange, Daniel and Jack decided to follow the Abydonians back to their city.


Unit 666, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, Terra

A thoroughly battered Harry Potter stumbled into the living room of his family's apartment and collapsed on the couch with a mighty sigh.

"Tough day?" his aunt, Petunia Dursley nee Evans, asked.

"Very," Harry muttered.

The door slid open once again, and an exhausted Dudley made his way inside. He walked up to a small box recessed in the kitchen wall. He placed his hands on a small pad and it lit up, accepting his biometric and psionic identification. With that done, a neural interface activated and Dudley requested a can of soft drink via it. A muffled flash of light occurred from within the box before the front of it vanished, revealing the sweet beverage in all its bubbly goodness. Dudley reached in and grabbed the drink before moving to join Harry on the couch. As he walked away, the pane of Plastisteel reappeared; once again covering the opening to the box. The complex systems within again went into standby mode to await its next user.

"He did very well today, mum," Dudley praised. "He managed to win a third of the 3 versus 1 exercises we had."

"Really? That's very good, Harry! Your mother would've been so proud of you!"

Harry gave a tired smile and went to the kitchen. With another flash of light, he came back with a cup of protein shake. He had just finished flopping down on the couch when an owl flew through the window, carrying an envelope. Grimacing, Harry pulled off the bundle and the owl flew back out into the night sky. Moments later, a brilliant red beam of energy from the building's automated phaser point defence lanced out, neatly spearing the owl, having mistaken the minor - almost unnoticeable except to the most advanced Terran sensor systems - electrical disruption caused by the owl's slightly faulty destination seeking spell as an attack.

Harry grinned. This is going to be fun. He threw the parchment into the molecular disintegration bin and watched it as it broke into trillions of specks of dust as it passed through the energy field. Let the siege begin. Mere hours later, thousands of owl based scanning spells began converging on Harry's location. The building's automated systems interpreted it as somebody being targeted for an attack and initiated siege protocols. Energy shields flared to life on the walls, Plastiglass windows closed and high strength selective blockage force fields activated over both doors and windows. Weapon systems hummed as they charged up to full power, ready to blast anything that intrudes on the building. Another hour later, the second owl was fried… And the onslaught began.


City, Abydos

Jack and Daniel had just arrived at the city of Abydos when Carter relayed some concerning information.

'A large unidentified object has entered the atmosphere.'

'What shall we do, sir?' Kawalsky asked.

'Keep tracking it,' O'Neill answered. 'If it starts to land, seek shelter and prepare for a possible fight. I have a feeling that this is Ra.'

A jumble of messages, images and slight hints of emotions flooded over their team psionic network, exchanging information in milliseconds. Outside of the network, Jack and Daniel kept walking as though nothing was wrong, never even pausing in their stride. They made it to the city and were talking to the Abydonian leader when suddenly, a horn sounded. The Abydonians began rushing to lock down the city. O'Neill, concerned, formed a psionic link to Kasuf and scanned his thoughts, finding out about the approaching sandstorm. Jack and Daniel decided to stay until the sandstorm was over, even though they knew that it was being caused by the ship that was leisurely cruising through the atmosphere at low altitude. Sometime during the night, Daniel somehow managed to get himself gifted a woman. He tried to tell the Abydonians that it was all a misunderstanding but, upon seeing the looks of fear, he hastily withdrew to converse with his new wife, Sha'uri.

A bit later, the ship began to approach the pyramid to land. The half of the team near the pyramid withdrew to dial the stargate and warn the SGC.

Desert, Pyramid that contains the gate, Abydos

Carter, Kawalsky and Ferretti sensed the ambush long before it occurred. Ra's warriors were skilled but were no match for the psionic senses of the three Terrans which could pinpoint any sentient life sign within a 200 metre radius. This was only amplified by the fact that their sealed armour suits had sophisticated sensor systems are capable of scanning for radiation across all known frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum and could detect things around corners by calculating the scatter pattern of the electromagnetic radiation. Not to mention that their mental links made it possible to share information nearly instantaneously. And so, when the warriors jumped out, expecting to see a weak human that was outflanked, they found themselves staring into the softly glowing barrel of a phaser rifle, nanoseconds before a red thermal deliverance ray shot out and ended their existence. The team searched the bodies and found the eye of Ra tattooed on the enemy soldier's shoulder.

'Alright, it's Ra. Let's send for the backup,' Carter sent over the psionic link. She hit the keys on the DHD for Terra, as mentioned on the Alteran star map. She could only hope that it works as none of the other addresses contained in that database worked. Point of origin… Uh oh… Oh well. Only 36 combinations to try.

The first try ended with a whirring that died out.

So did the second.

And the third...


Unit 666, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, Terra

Back at Privet Drive, Harry was laughing as he watched the owls of the Wizarding world try and fail to enter his apartment. As they approached, the phasers spat hundreds of searing red phaser bolts, each set high enough to vaporize flesh and melt bones. The owls didn't stand a chance. Any that made it through the defensive fire would simply fail to find any large enough space to deliver the letter. Unfortunately for them, they were also bound by magic to deliver the letter, which meant that they couldn't escape. The times that they do try to launch the letter, it would simply bounce off a barrier mere centimetres from the building's surface, lighting the point of contact a dim white for a second before fading. Dudley had joined his cousin in mocking the birds after watching them get torn apart for all of five seconds. Even Petunia had a smile on her face as she watched her two charges. After those initial five seconds, the surviving owls hastily pulled away and circled the building, just out of the programmed range of the weapons. The owls resorted to simply bombard the skyscraper at range, dropping the letter before flying away.

In fact, thanks to Petunia's link to the hive mind, Terrans everywhere were grinning at the sheer absurdity of the Wizarding world. There's nothing more subtle than the bombardment of an apartment building located in a whole suburb full of similar buildings with thousands of owl delivered letters. In broad daylight. And they call themselves a secret society that upholds their vaunted 'Statute of Secrecy'.

After a week of this nonsense, the volume of letters decreased significantly. It seemed as though they were running out of owls willing to deliver. The day after, the people of Terra watched in interest as a giant man lumbered down the perfectly smooth street. The building's automated siege defences had dropped its high alert status due to a significant reduction in the number of attacks. Now, it won't fry anything unauthorised that comes within a hundred metres.

The man ambled up to the main entrance and looked at the call device for the apartment, perplexed. He had no idea how these things worked. His eyes slid over a black, glossy panel with the word 'Doorbell' engraved along the top. A Terran would instantly say this was a neural interface. But the man was no Terran, so, seeing no way to gain entrance, he proceeded to try to knock down the double doors. Unfortunately for him, they were not plastic or aluminium, like he originally believed, but high grade Plastisteel designed to withstand firepower from the latest Terran tanks… All without the force field to reinforce it. So, when he shoulder charged the door, he rammed into the unyielding hardness of both a force field and the Plastisteel doors underneath. With a crunch, his shoulder bones simply shattered and he screamed in agony. To make matters worse for him, the automated defences correctly recognized an attack and let fly with phaser bolts set to stun. In moments, the man was out cold. The Terrans watching shook their heads, amused. One particularly kind soul healed him with a burst of psionic healing before going off to continue his duties. When the giant man awoke, he fled the scene, stun bolts pelting the ground around him –deliberately set to miss, of course.


Desert, Pyramid that contains the gate, Abydos

After 20 attempts, Carter finally managed to establish a connection to the SGC.

'SGC, this is SG-1,' she sent psionically.

'SG-1, this is Hammond. Go on.'

Kawalsky jumped in. 'General, Ra's spaceship has landed on this pyramid. There is some kind of matter energy transport in here. The residual energy seems quite similar to an Alteran ring platform.'

'SG-1, we are going to send the OWA teams 1, 2, 3 and 4 to help you secure that ship. In the meantime, look for something to turn on those rings.'

'Yes, sir.'

It didn't take long to find the jewel like device on the severed arm of one of Ra's warriors.

Ra's ship, Pyramid that contains the gate, Abydos

Ra was becoming impatient. The forward team that he sent wasn't responding to his calls.

"Why," he hissed in his resonating, Goa'uld voice. "Have they not reported in yet? Go find out!"

"I will check on them myself!" his human first prime pledged before moving over to the ring transport.

As he was positioning himself inside the ring platform, it activated. Ra did not notice anything wrong as he wasn't paying too much attention. Something he would pay for soon because the rings deposited a group of Terrans in full combat armour and phaser rifles. Ra's eyes widened as he watched his honour guard being mercilessly slaughtered by a bright green light from the Terran's rifles. Each beam seemed to do nothing for a split second before the target simply fell apart in octillions of invisible, atom sized pieces. His guard's weapons also proved ineffective because whenever a plasma bolt hits, it simply dispersed itself on a translucent bubble of energy. With a wave of his hand, Ra's child servants rushed in front of him to shield him. The Terrans didn't care. Seamlessly switching their phasers to stun, they also gunned down the children. Faced with no choice but to surrender as his hand device was in the adjacent room, Ra raised his hands.

The rings engaged again, depositing the second Off-World Assault team into the ship, where they immediately began moving to secure the ship, leaving OWA 1 to guard Ra. The next time the rings engaged, OWA 3 arrived and also moved to help secure the ship. To their dismay, two atmospheric fighter craft shot out of the ship.

'SG-1, it seems as though Ra managed to get off some sort of silent alarm. Two aircraft are heading towards the city. We cannot intercept in time,' the leader of OWA 1, Colonel Albert Reynolds, sent over the psionic network.

'Acknowledged,' O'Neill, who was still in the city with Daniel, replied.

City, Abydos

Jack and Daniel quickly climbed onto one of the walkways over the large doors protecting Abydos city. Just then, an alarm rang out and the Abydonians began panicking. One of the kids, Skaara, tried to pull O'Neill down but he easily brushed the kid off. Sha'uri attempted to do the same with Daniel but he firmly stood his ground. With both their idols just standing still, Sha'uri and Skaara watched with increasing dread as the black forms of the Udajeet variant Death Gliders closed the distance.

Both Daniel and Jack raised their phasers and, with a mental command, raised the fire settings up to achieve maximum destructive power. O'Neill pulled the trigger. Daniel followed a second after. The Glider pilots fired multiple times too. The brilliant white packet fired from the phasers each contained approximately 0.02 grams of antimatter straight from the weapon's antimatter battery and had a jacket of energy sheathing them to prevent premature detonation. Each of the 7 Death Glider plasma bolts contained enough energy to explode like an old fashioned block of C4. Of course most of this energy won't simply dissipate in the atmosphere; rather, it will expend itself punching through armour and the remainder will detonate inside the body of the victim.

Of course, the phasers' shot hit first, the weapons having been designed for maximum practicality instead of fear mongering. Upon impact, the energy sheath around the antimatter dispersed, allowing it to meet and annihilate an equivalent amount of matter. The reaction detonated with the force of a ton of old fashioned TNT. Both gliders vanished in a flash of light, scattering tiny chunks of irradiated debris to the clouds. Then, the far slower, orange plasma bolts from the aircraft designed to cause terror arrived. The first two were way off target, exploding near the base of the city. The next two hit the walls and blew massive chunks off it. Jack and Daniel both raised psionic shields just in case. The next shot flew into the city and exploded somewhere inside. The one after that hit Jack's psionic shield head on. As the bolt touched the shield, it visibly deformed as the magnetic container broke. The previously near transparent barrier of energy flared blue under the strain and the truncated icosahedron which makes up the shield's superstructure became visible. As the plasma bolt continued to press into the shield, Jack grit his teeth, bracing himself and pouring yet more power and concentration to maintain the shield. A single slip could be fatal. Eventually, the bolt was completely absorbed and Jack let the shield drop.

Daniel wasn't so lucky. He did not possess the same level of training as a full military member of the program. As such, when the 7th plasma bolt hit his shield, his concentration waned during the most important stage. For a split second, his shield developed structural weaknesses as the plasma pushed against it. That split second was enough. The plasma blasted its way through, completely shattering the shield and discharging the remaining energy into Daniel's armour. But even that has a limit… And aircraft scale plasma bolts are too much for it. The weak personal shield flared white and breached. The plasma continued on to the underlying Plastisteel plates. Blasting its way through a centimetre worth of Plastisteel, it burrowed its way into Daniel's flesh with all of its remaining 4 percent energy. Still, it was enough to penetrate flesh and shatter bones. Lethal if the target wasn't a Terran. Being genetically modified had its advantages. The shot was stopped by his superior constitution before it became lethal. Daniel fought through the pain and used psionic healing on himself, further shocking the two Abydonians as they watched the torn flesh seal itself with a green/blue glow.


City, Abydos, 2 hours later

"People of Abydos!" Jack O'Neill addressed the crowd. "Today, I bring you your false god, bound in chains, destined to spend eternity in a Terran torture chamber!"

As he said this, OWA 1 dragged a flailing Ra in front of the platform.

"You will all pay for this! I will ensure it!" Ra screamed in his Goa'uld voice.

"No, Ra," Jack leaned down. "It's you who is going to pay for everything you did to Terra."

Perhaps it was the way Jack said it… Or the way that he grinned darkly. Ra shuddered as he failed to supress his fear. The Abydonians cheered, thankful to finally be rid of the false god Ra.

Ra's ship, pyramid that contains the gate, Abydos

Probing Ra's mind, Jack discovered, much to his annoyance, the Naquadah based authentication system for the ship's controls.

"You will fly this ship to Terra," Jack commanded.

"I know no Terra," Ra replied, sneering.

"You might know it by a different name."

"And what might that be?"

"Tau'ri."

Ra froze. Oh crap. He finally realised how screwed he was. A moment later, he felt the unrelenting force of the minds of the four OWA teams and SG-1 shove down his free will, forcefully taking control of his body. He couldn't stop the 25 telepathic humans from mind controlling him. With neither his host's body nor his own parasitic body responding to his frantic commands, he was forced to watch as he unwillingly piloted the ship back to Terra, delivering the technology that the Terrans need to wage a galactic war.


4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, Terra

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, frowned as he examined the panel set into the wall of the muggle building. It had 'Doorbell' etched along the top but he couldn't understand how to contact Harry's apartment through it. Shaking his head, he drew his wand and cast an unlocking charm on the doors to the apartment. The charm hit the force field over the door and dissipated. Immediately, the building's automated defences responded, bright blue stun bolts shooting from the phaser emitters. Hurriedly, the headmaster raised a magical shield. The first bolt hit the shield. The shield flared a dull blue as the energy of the shot dispersed. Immediately, the building's phaser array adjusted the output frequency to maximise damage to the shield. The next bolt to hit caused massive warping of the shield, with only the power of the Elder Wand preventing collapse.

The headmaster dropped the shield and dodged the next shot, causing the predictive targeting and bracketing fire programs to activate. The phaser arrays adjusted their fire to maximum dispersal. Volley after volley of stun blasts, fired from the phasers like shotguns rained down upon the rapidly weaving headmaster. But the computers never made a mistake and soon, a pattern in Dumbledore's movements was recognised. The next volley fired. Dumbledore moved right into its path. He went down like a sack of bricks.

The Terrans watching once again laughed. Wizards! Even the 'wisest' of them can't even figure out a doorbell.

Harry eventually took pity on them and went out to meet the old woman who was sent to fetch him. Of course, they were easily recognisable. Their fashion was, after all, 2500 years outdated.


Additional information (Author's notes):

Terrans knowing this was Ra's planet - The Terrans deduced this as they have the translation of the cartouche, which said the Stargate, which was "sealed and buried for all time", belonged to Ra.

4 Privet Drive is a skyscraper – Terra is a planet suffering from severe overpopulation. To preserve the natural environment as much as possible, the Terrans need to house over 24 billion people in as little space as possible. This means skyscrapers. With a few special exceptions, most Terran residential structures are skyscrapers.

Dursleys being nice – Remember that Terra is a near utopian world now. A highly militaristic society bent on vengeance but from a civil standpoint, near utopian nonetheless. That means that racial, gender, etc. inequality does not exist. Parents do not teach their children to hurt others because of this. The hive mind crushes major and most minor crime, and indoctrinating hatred of a fellow Terran into children is a major crime. Once crime stopped being taught to others and true equality reached, there were much less hive mind related executions/punishments. Therefore, the Dursleys themselves are accepting of Harry even though he is of magical parentage. Not that it matters much as, in this story, muggleborns are supplied purely by the Terran Alliance via genetic engineering.

Further psionics – Psionic range increases exponentially with the number of links in the network. Daniel could form a link with Colonel O'Neill, thus extending the range to a degree that they could simply shoot a message to the rest of the team and hope they get it. When Carter, Kawalsky and Ferretti receive the message, they will form their own network. Any overlap between the two radii will merge the two networks into one, much larger network.

Plastisteel – Plastisteel is an alloy of an Alteran plastic polymer and steel. The Alteran polymer could bond with the steel at a molecular level, thus acting almost as extremely durable microscopic joints on the steel. The Plastisteel maintains the elasticity and plasticity of a plastic whilst becoming almost as hard as steel. The end material has a fantastic hardness and toughness.

Plastiglass - Same as Plastisteel except with glass. It is weaker than Plastisteel due to inferior secondary constituent but still many times better than normal glass.

Selective blockage Force Field – A force field that could choose whether to let something through or not. Usually governed by a computer system, it is capable of instantaneously raising or dropping the force field at any area, thus allowing somebody permitted to pass through but not a single molecule more.

Ra doesn't have Jaffa – Ra truly does not have Jaffa with him in the stargate movie. No symbiote pouch, no tattoo on the forehead, incomplete armour… I honestly believe Ra has some kind of fetish for humans and uses them in place of Jaffa for his honour guard.
