With repairs and building going on the island. We set off in the Nautilus to the Pegasus Galaxy for Atlantis. We arrived to find Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean. We took a gate ship down and it passed through the shield with ease. We changed out the vacuum energy modules and brought Atlantis up slowly. We gated more Jaffa and humans into the city. We set about inventorying the entire city. The group researching the city's database found that there was Lantean technology still left in the Pegasus and Milky Way Galaxies. We set about retrieving the technology they had left. We recovered a Lantean Drone Battleship, two Lantean Cruisers, a power amplification crystal, fourteen gateships, three vacuum energy modules and miscellanenous equipment. We found a city-ship that was in very, very, very bad condition. The locals called it the Tower. In the cover of night and beaming teams into the Tower, we scavenge all we could.
We learned how the replicators did not do what they wanted. We researched how to use the replicators while keeping them under control. We placed core command coders that could not be overwritten. We made the commands simple - Law 1 They would not harm Nicky and/or myself through action or inaction. Law 2 They must obey all commands from Nicky and/or myself unless in conflict with First Law. Law 3 They must protect its own existence as long as such protection is not conflict with the First or Second Law. Law 4 Any change in their base code resulted in them shutting down and basically short circuiting.
We created a batch of replicators and set them lose of the asteroid belt in the system. They were ordered to replicate for a day and them start refining the metals. They had a list of metals they were only allowed to refine only, gold, naquadah, trinium and gems.
The inventory of the city was going great. We even found maintenance robots which we set lose on the city. As they repaired, the city efficiency start improving. Because of how well the maintenance robots were doing, we set them on the ships we found. Five months of the little robots going about the city and doing the job the city started producing drones. Talk about a game changer, this was it.
With the Lantean ships repaired, we sent them back to the Milky Way.
With the Lantean ships back in the Milky Way they started hit and run attacks on the Goa'uld. This started getting several of the Goa'uld angry at the mysterious attackers. We hit Ra more than anyone else and did not attack Apothis and Cronus. We needed to sow distrust amongst the System Lords. During this time, we knocked off eight minor Goa'uld. Only one had a planet that we wanted to keep. We had the Tok'ra use the za'tarc detector on the Jaffa and slaves. The ones we had any doubt about we sent packing. All the others we moved to our worlds we occupied.
We did use the Lantean ships twice to attack at the same time we attacked the minor Goa'uld that we defeated. This help move the suspicion off of us. Ra was just getting madder and madder. Ra called for a meeting of the System Lords to demand to know who was attacking him. He did not care about the other Goa'uld only about himself. Our spy in his camp was working perfectly.
We deployed the Lantean ships to Apothis and Cronus home systems. They would jump in and out. Take out some death gliders one time and a al'kesh the next. Cronus called for more ships of his fleet to deal with the threat. Apothis was smart and gated to another world under his control and continued on to the metting. During the meeting we struck several places in Ra's territory. After the meeting, Ra was so mad at Cronus. Our plan was working. With Cronus not attending the meeting and the attacks on Ra's territories. Ra assumed that Cronus was behind the attacks.
Ra was consumed with rage and gathered a fleet to attack Cronus. Our spy, ever diligent informed us of Ra's folly. With the Nautilus and all three of the Lantean ships, we struck Ra's fleet. With one pass, all of Ra's ha'taks were left in ruin.
Ra was seething. He blamed Cronus for the destruction of his fleet. Ra placed a large bounty on Cronus. Thing was he had to be brought alive to him and in the current host body. He wanted to make sure that it was Cronus.
