All of a sudden alarm klaxons started blaring throughout the ship. On the bridge Major Marks calls out, "Sir, five Ori motherships just dropped out of hyperspace and are approaching the planet." The Odyssey is rocked by a blast from one of the Ori motherships.

O'Neill contacts Sam over the intercom, "Sam, this is the bridge. We have five contacts. Ori motherships bearing down." Sam rushes from the Asgard Legacy console to the ship control console."

"Sir, the hyperdrive is still offline. Diverting power to the shields."

O'Neill begins to shout out orders to Major Marks. "Full sub-light. Get us clear of the planet."

"Full sub-light sir."

The Hammond moves swiftly away from Orilla. Three Ori motherships pursue it, firing on it, while the other two descend toward the planet. The ship is rocked again. Mitchell and Teal'c make their way onto the bridge.

Major Marks, "Shields are down to eighty-three percent."

Colonel Mitchell, "How the hell did they find us?" After another blast rocks the ship, he continues on. "Some reason we're not jumping to hyperspace?"

O'Neill is the one to answer him. "Carter's working on it."

"Sir? Sensors are detecting a massive buildup of energy coming from the planet." said Marks.

O'Neill makes an announcement over the intercom, "Everyone hold on tight!"

Hammond and the Ori ships move away from the planet at full sublight speed. The surface of Orilla suddenly erupts with huge explosions. After a moment, the entire planet explodes, and a huge shock wave moves out through space, destroying the two Ori ships headed towards it while it rocks the remaining Ori vessel and the Odyssey.

Major Marks calls out, "Shields are down to… eighty five percent?"

O'Neill screams into the comm system, "SAM!"

Sam responds, "Sir, the hyperdrive is now online, but we have to get clear of the radiation caused by the explosion before we can make the jump safely."

Just as she is saying this the remaining Ori motherships that are pursuing them open fire again and scores a direct hit to the Odyssey's shields.

Major Marks screams out again, "Sir, between the planet and the Ori our shields are now at twenty percent, I don't know what another hit will do to us sir."

General O'Neill contemplated his options and made his decision. "Colonel Carter, regardless of the risks we need to jump to hyperspace now, we won't survive any other way. Be ready to make any repairs that are necessary, O'Neill out. Major Marks, plot a course for Earth and jump to hyperspace."

"Aye sir" rang out from engineering and the bridge alike. Ten seconds later a hyperspace window forms in front of a fleeing Odyssey but instead of a bright blue purple color it was a dark blue and greenish color. No one knew, but that was from the radiation from the planet that exploded just moments ago. It would have got the ship to their destination, the ride just would have been a little bumpy. As the Hammond and her fleet were entering the hyperspace window, the Ori tried to take another shot at the fleeing ships, but they missed. Instead the shots impacted the hyperspace window itself. Upon impact it changed the very nature of the hyperspace window and the color changed from a blue green to a red yellow. That was the last thing any of the crews saw before they were all knocked unconscious.

Sam was the first person to come back to consciousness on board the Hammond. As her mind was beginning to sharpen she wondered what happened to everyone else. With that thought in her head she began to manipulate the controls in front of here. They were advanced Asgard controls that were tied into the entire ship. First activating the internal comm system, she tried to reach the bridge. "This is Colonel Carter to the bridge, anyone please respond." No one answered her. So she tried the entire ship. "This is Colonel Carter to anyone, please respond." Still no answer.

Sam brings up the sensor files for the time of the fight to the current time. She has a theory but needs some other input and quickly. With a sudden jolt Sam has the perfect solution. Accessing the Asgard console again she finds what she needed and executed the program.

Thor materialized in front of her. It was a completely lifelike image of Thor. "Greetings Colonel Carter. It is shocking to see you so soon."

Sam was shocked. She didn't expect the hologram to actually know who she was.

Thor tilted his head to the side in question-like manner and asked, "Are you alright Colonel?"

Finally closing her mouth she just comes out with it. "I fully expected you to look like well... you but you seem to be more than that. It seems like you are alive and, well… not dead. Added to you asking me if I'm alright and you saying that its shocking for you to see me so soon."

"My apologies. What I'm sure you were told was that I am a holographic representation of myself because I am a downloaded copy of myself, knowledge and memory included. while i don't have a physical body, I am considered a representation because I can be manipulated since I am in a computer memory core. There are safeguards because of the level of sensitivity needed while working with an individual's consciousness. But my memory is current to right before you arrived in the Odyssey, every consciousness was updated at that time as well."

"So you are Thor, in a literal as well as a figurative sense?"

"Yes"

"We can talk more about this development later, but right now the crew is incapacitated and while the sensors says that everyone is alive, they are all unconscious for unknown reasons. What's your theory on what happened. "

Taking several seconds to analyze the sensor files, Thor responds. "According to this data, you entered an unstable hyperspace window while trying to escape an Ori attack. The radiation from the destroyed planet created a flux in the hyperspace window that while it would have let you make it to your destination, the ride would not have been smooth. The Ori beam weapon, when it hit, made you end up in what I believe is an alternate universe. Based on the sensor scans, the quantum signature of the surrounding space differs from our own; and as you know, the quantum signature should be the same for everything in the same reality. And as far as the crew, the transition from one reality to another facilitated their state of unconsciousness, as well as the radiation exposure. When the vessel crossed through, the shock to their systems was too much, and knocked everyone unconscious. You were slightly better shielded by being in this room. You weren't affected as severely as the rest of the crew."

"Once I saw the difference in the quantum signatures, that's what I thought to. How long will the crew be out for and can you operate anything as a hologram?"

"Based on the levels of radiation, and when you woke up, while taking into consideration the shielding of this room, I would say… an additional hour. I can operate this console and anything connected to it, essentially the whole ship. What do you need?"

"I'm going to the bridge, once i get there we can get the ship under control and wait until everyone wakes up. And since we know nothing about the galaxy we find ourselves in could you look into creating say two dozen survey probes to give us a better idea of our situation. Oh, and could you get me reports on the other six ships in our little band. And if possible get an Asgard over there to act as an advisor to the crew."

"Agreed. I shall begin immediately on the survey probes."

An hour and fifteen minutes later everyone started to wake up. Sam and Thor managed to get the ship, and most of the others close to full operational status with the shields charged and at full power. The weapons were mostly functional in the O'Neill-class vessels; as well as the hyperdrive, sensors, and stealth systems for all the other ships. The Hammond was at full capacity for a fight

Fifteen minutes later, General O'Neill and SG1 were in engine control room, by the Asgard core console listening to Thor telling them what happened.

Daniel said, "Is there a way to get back?" while Mitchell said, "Where are we?" Vala looked sad and Teal'c looked... well calm as ever. The General was just waiting for an answer since those were his two question anyways. Looking at everyone in turn Thor answers, "Recreating the exact circumstances of what sent us here would be almost impossible, so no, I don't think that there is a way to return. As far as where we are, we are in the galactic void, on the other side of the galaxy from Earth, it will take about a day to get there as I do not believe that we should stress the hyperdrives at this time. Jack, at Colonel Carters suggestion I transferred an Asgard consciousness to each of our other ships and in conjunction, we began to create survey drones that we launched about an hour ago. The probes measure six feet from end to end and with a central cylinder of two feet in diameter, it has a ring in the center that spins around the central shaft. The ring is five feet in diameter and held in place by thin but incredibly strong spokes. The ring contains all of the sensitive equipment such as powerful Asgard sensors, subspace communications and the computer core. The central shaft contains a naquadah reactor, shield and cloaking generators, hyperdrive and sublight engines. To ensure that the probes technology will not be compromised, they are set to self-destruct if the probes themselves are hindered or threatened in any way and cannot escape. It is my recommendation that we stay here, or at least at the closest habitable world until we can get a complete galactic survey completed."

No one spoke for several minutes, they were all digesting the information that Thor just told them. Finally, General O'Neill spoke. "Alright folks, here's what we are gonna do. We are going to follow Thor's recommendation. Once we get more information we will decide what we are going to do."

Everyone nodded and went to their stations. Sam returned to the Asgard console and asked Thor a question. "Thor, say we are stuck here, what would your opinion be on our best course of action?"

After a moment of thought Thor responded. "If it were me, I would ascertain the local planets and their level of technology. Then I would search in unclaimed territory for raw materials and set up some kind of base with a defense and sensor network. After that is set up, the options available will be more numerous than just relying on assistance from local worlds"

"How would we go about creating a base without having to dismantle the ship. We don't have the tools or infrastructure to facilitate such a project or the manpower."

"The transporters, in their full capacity are able to take energy and change it to matter, any matter that's programmed into the computer. While it can create any material, the energy consumption varies greatly between the materials you are creating. The energy needed to create one ton of naquada is the same as creating twenty five tons of iron. The energy requirements is too great to convert energy into those raw materials, especially when they could be mined."

"So your telling me that as long as we have energy we can create whatever we need?"

"Yes."

"Would it be a strain to create a combat suit for each person in the fleet that would protect them from harm? After all we could be the only humans in this galaxy. And the crews already on board are the only ones with the training to operate these ships. It is a sound plan."

"While it will cause some strain on the Asgard power core, it is well within tolerable levels and necessary in my opinion. Would you like my help in creating a combat suit that will be of the most use for you?'

"Any help you can give would be great. After all you are Thor, the god of battle and the Asgard fleets supreme commander for many years. We should also get General O'Neill down here to help."
