A/N I dont own Harry Potter or Stargate or any books or shows i might reference
A/N This story is AU. I will portray characters diiferently then they are in shows and books. One example is Janus from stargate atlantis will also be merlin instead of Moros. Thats why its AU.
A/N The replicators are like those from star trek but better. The constructers are like the replicators from Stargate
A/N Any suggestions welcome. This is my first fic, let me know what you think or what you dont. Thanks
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO PHANTOM1 FOR HIS WORK AS A BETA, GREAT JOB!!
Harry, for his part was ignorant of the shock and awe that he just created. He was in the process of getting ready for his visit to Babylon 5. Because of the control chair, Harry had come aware of how much the city responded to his mental commands. Deciding that this was a huge advantage, he decided that he needed to figure out how to remain in mental contact with Camelot even when he was not on board. His reasoning was that he could never tell when he might need to be beamed out or need to defend those around him while he isn't in the city.
Harry decided to go to the replicators in the construction bay to see what was readily available to aid him in plans for his mental control of the city. As he stepped out of the transport room and into the construction facility, he wondered what else he could replicate for his person that would be of use when he was off the ship.
Stepping in front of a replicator terminal, Harry reached out with his mind to interface with it. This was the first time he's tried this without the control chair and was shocked at how easily it was. After a quick search, Harry found the designs for a neural booster that would allow him to mentally link with the city from up to ten light years away, providing he had the power for the enhancer. It ran off of a small version of a ZPM that would last twenty years of constant use which meant that Harry would be fine since while he was in Camelot he didn't require the booster.
The best part was that the neural booster could be easily disguised as anything a person normally wore. Deciding on a necklace design for his neural enhancer, Harry continued to browse thru the designs in the database. He soon found and ordered a personal shield, a personal cloaking device, and some formal first contact attire. The clothes were loose flowing white robes with blue accents. They are similar to wizarding robes but of better quality and more formal.
As he put on his robes, he was shocked to find a holster for his wand in the robes, even though he did not order the robes with one. This led Harry to believe that the Alterrans used wands like he did. Finished getting ready, Harry saw that he still had twenty minutes before he was expected so he decided to get some food.
After grabbing some food, Harry decided it was time to go. From his earlier scans of Babylon 5, Harry knew that Captain Sheridan would most likely be expecting him outside of the docking bays on Babylon 5. After one last check of Camelot and his personal gear, Harry mentally instructed Camelot to transport him to where he thought Captain Sheridan was in a flash of white light.
BABYLON 5
Captain Sheridan was standing outside the main hanger bay doors with the usual honor guard. According to C&C, there has been no shuttle activity from Camelot. Which meant one thing, Mr. Potter would be late. He hated lateness. Thinking of the City Ship, he still couldn't believe that something like that was possible. Something so beautiful that was capable of moving faster than anything he has ever seen was just awe inspiring. Babylon 5's scanners still couldn't get a scan of the thing after an hour's worth of attempts so they only knew what they were told by Mr. Potter and what they could see.
Still thinking about the situation at hand, Sheridan and the rest of the honor guard was thrown for a surprise as when they witnessed something spectacular: Mr. Harry Potter arrived right on time in a brilliant flash of white light. He was dressed in white robes with some blue mixed in. His robes looked to be very formal, made out of some of the finest materials Sheridan had ever seen. Getting his bearings back, Captain Sheridan stepped forward to make the introductions.
"Welcome to Babylon 5 Mr. Potter. I am Captain John Sheridan, Commander of B5, to my left is Susan Ivanova my Second in Command, and to my right is Michael Garibaldi, Chief of Security."
As Sheridan was making the introductions, Garibaldi was busy studying Harry. To his trained eye it appeared that Harry couldn't have been older than eighteen or nineteen. How was it possible that this kid was representing the people capable of building a city that can travel through the stars and have some type of transportation technology! Garibaldi thought
Susan on the other hand was fascinated with Harry. Something coming from Harry was tickling her senses. It felt like Harry was a walking power source, he seemed to radiate energy. She figured that it must be her very latent telepathic ability that was making her feel this and decided to look into it later.
Harry was studying them as well. All three officers seemed to be well composed and straight forward people. Harry got a sense that they were all well intentioned but would protect themselves and others under their care with everything that they had. He has no idea where this information came from, and decided to think about how he was able to do it another time.
"Thank you for allowing me on board" started Harry. "Once again I apologize for the damage I caused when I scanned your station."
Sheridan responded, "You already apologized and offered to assist us until the damage was fixed, so for now let's consider the matter dropped. Now then shall we go to a more private place to talk?"
"That was more than acceptable Captain Sheridan."
With that they left for the main conference rooms in Green Sector. On their way, Harry saw many different species in the hallways. Some were green, others were blue, and many could almost pass off as human. Making to the conference room, Harry saw several representatives of different races already there waiting for Harry. From Harry knew from Camelot's brief interface with the Babylon 5, before learning of the unintentional side effects it caused, that Babylon 5 was a diplomatic station. By the layout of the room, Harry assumed that this was a diplomatic meeting room and these aliens were Ambassadors from different species. Harry was pulled out of his thoughts as Captain Sheridan made the introductions.
"Mr. Potter, let me introduce Ambassador Delenn from the Minbari Federation, Ambassador Mollari from the Centauri Republic, Ambassador G'Kar from the Narn Regime, and Ambassador Kosh from the Vorlon Empire. Everyone, this is Mr. Harry Potter from the City Ship Camelot."
Everyone was eyeing Harry and he started to look a little nervous. Surprisingly it was Ambassador Kosh that spoke first. "You don't belong here. But yet you are old, very old. Explain."
Harry looked around and noticed that he had everyone's attention so he decided to tell them some of his story but not all. "You are right about being old; my people have been traveling in space for millions of years. As for me not belonging here, who decides this? I have a device that allows me to cross dimensions. So I used it and here I am. If I don't belong here, tell me why; and if there was a good reason, I shall leave as soon as I am able to complete my promise to assist Babylon 5."
Kosh's eyepiece narrowed in response to Harry's statement. If what this man was saying than his race was around the same age as his own. He already guessed that his race was old because of the beautiful ship he arrived in could only have come from an ordered society. Even after linking his mind with his own ship, he couldn't scan the city and that was unheard of.
Kosh responded, "The circle must not be broken. The young, they are not ready. You will bring chaos." Everyone but Harry was looking at Kosh as though he grew a new head. They have never heard a Vorlon speak so much or this clearly. Harry understood what Kosh was trying to say and answered in his own riddled fashion, "If the wind can't change the mountain, the mountain will never change." Kosh continued to scrutinize Harry and suddenly turned and left, not bothering to look at anyone.
Harry, seeing that no one else looked to be capable of talking started, "Is it just him, or do are all Vorlons speak in riddles?" He said with a small smile on his lips and continued on while sitting in one of the chairs at the table. "So Captain Sheridan, what was the damage done to your station and what do you need to fix it?"
"The only damage done was the station's targeting scanners and the control module for them; here are the technical specs for it." He slid a data pad over to Harry. Harry looked at it and mentally contacted Camelot. He asked the computer if it can link with the pad, and then make the scanner and the control module from the data on the pad along with some simple upgrades in the targeting software that would make it more reliable much more efficient in terms of energy usage and the time it took to lock onto a target.
Once the scanners and control module were complete, Harry wanted them beamed over to his location. One thing Camelot didn't do was provide small talk, or really talk about anything really except for direct answers to Harry's commands and queries. After a few moments where everyone in the room thought Harry was reading the pad, a bright white flash filled the room along with the brand new targeting scanner and control module.
"As promised, a new targeting scanner and control module; I also included some upgrades to this system Captain, as a way to say sorry for my error. The new targeting systems are more reliable than your old one, are shielded from any future issues like the one that took out the existing unit, and is more efficient in power usage and the time it take to lock onto and identify a target. I am sure you and Commander Ivanova will be pleased."
The Ambassadors and station officers were gobsmacked at the casual display of technology and power. Ambassador Mollari was astounded at what he just saw and decided to speak next.
"You are unlike any Earther that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Is there anyway my people might be able to buy or acquire this technology or any other that you are wiling to share?"
Of course G'Kar had something to say to that. "If you can sell it to them then we demand access to this technology as well!" G'Kar immediately realized the implications of what would happen if just the Centauri got there hand's on technology that powerful. It would be the death of not just the Narn, but many of the League of Non Aligned Worlds and possibly even the Minbari and the Earthers. Even though G'Kar was reasonably sure that Mollari would not do anything THAT stupid, he did not trust the new Centauri Emperor or his "advisors" not too instead.
"I'm afraid, gentlemen, that is not possible. I'm here to acquire technology, not give. You just heard for yourselves not even ten minutes ago that I told the Vorlons that I wouldn't trade technology to those that are not yet ready for it. Not that I'm saying you're not, but we just met."
Delenn looked at Harry then asked the most logical question. "Since you so gracefully showed us that you have such stunning technology, why are you here? What was it that you want or hope to gain?"
"Well to be truthful I am searching for technology that will help me to fight my enemy and the enemies of my forefathers. My greatest enemy developed along the same path we did and has had millions of years to grow and learn, I'm simply looking for weapons and technology that they have never seen or thought of through trade or to outright buy; any suggestions Ambassador?"
"Well the Vorlons are the most advanced technologically, and I'm sure that any race here would be willing to trade with you if the terms are right. Speaking for the Minbari, we would be interested. We can speak more on that later after we get to know one another."
Captain Sheridan spoke next. "I'm in agreement with Delenn, once we know more about each other, Babylon 5 would probably agree to talk about what we have to offer. Unfortunately I no longer speak for the Earth Alliance, but if this works, B5 will be at your disposal.
Ambassador Mollari and Ambassador G'Kar also made their interests known. They didn't want to be left out of a deal that could be very prosperous for them. After a few more minutes of talking and getting things ready so Harry can visit Babylon 5 normally, it was decided that the Ambassadors and the Babylon 5 Command Staff would be able to come aboard Camelot in ten days time for a tour and to commence negotiations for possible technologies to trade. With that Harry stood up, bowed his head and disappeared in a flash of light.
The scheduled visit of the Babylon 5 delegation was fast approaching. The Marauder was about to be completed and Harry couldn't wait to fly again. Even though he got to visit the station and experience some of the things that Babylon 5 had to offer, he was excited to explore. He got to do some, but not a whole lot in the time he was in this Dimension. That was due to him spending most of his time learning about this dimension and about himself. He learned of their technology, the way that they traveled faster than light, politics, and most importantly he learned of some of his abilities.
Flashback
Harry stood at the sensor station going over the scans from the long range sensors and the scans from surrounding space. What he was seeing was astounding. In this dimension everyone thought they were traveling in hyperspace by using these "Jump Gates" and "Jump Engines", but they were wrong, very wrong. They actually traveled in a very deep layer of subspace. While it was still quicker than traveling in normal space, Camelot's hyperdrive was still much faster.
While doing subspace scans on all frequencies in a 10 light year circumference from his current location, he discovered a series of random anomalies at random intervals. These anomalies all had the same general characteristics. Boosting the power to the sensors and only scanning on the highest frequency of subspace, Harry was able to discover what he had picked up as random anomalies: Ships. This must be this dimension's mode of FTL transportation. Interesting. Well at least now I have a way of accurately tracking vessels.
Even though this form of FTL travel was much slower than his version hyperspace travel, there were still great advantages to it. Unless someone had subspace scanners as powerful as Camelot's, a ship traveling in subspace would be undetectable until they returned to normal space. That could be a huge advantage to Harry when he finally encountered the Ori. Harry decided to go to Babylon 5 and see about buying the specs for a jump engine.
Throwing on the Alterran casual day uniform, Harry made sure to take all the things he replicated for his last trip over minus the clothes of course. Unlike last time, Harry piloted what Camelot called a gate ship, even though many of the younger Alterrans called the ships puddle jumpers, over to Babylon 5. He followed the docking procedure and was soon walking out of the docking bay to the security check. Waiting there was Mr. Garibaldi and as Harry approached Garibaldi walked over and shook his hand.
"Welcome back Mr. Potter. I'm here to give you this ID card that will allow you to enter B5 at any time. Here was a map of the station in case you need to find your way." After giving Harry the items, Garibaldi spoke in a quieter voice so that only Harry could hear. "The last thing I'm going to give you today is some advice: the station has many opportunities for just about anything that you would want, just try to stay clear of down below. Lots of shady characters down there"
During the conversation, Harry was patiently waiting, casually looking around at all the different beings walking around while listening to what Garibaldi had to say. Harry understood that even though Sheridan was the Commander of Babylon 5, Mr. Garibaldi knew more about the station and the people than anyone else on board and that his counsel, while somewhat unnecessary, was given with the best intentions. In Harry's book, that made the man invaluable and an ally.
"Thanks for the advice and I will take it to heart. I'm actually looking to acquire jump engine specs so I can experiment and learn about how you travel in this dimension. It is like nothing I have seen before. Normally all we use subspace for is communication. Do you have any idea where I could find someone willing to trade for specs on one?"
Thinking for a moment Garibaldi responded, "Well you could probably go to any Ambassador and trade or buy their version of a jump engine. There are also a were business people on board that will probably be interested if the price was right. In my opinion though, you should probably see the Narns. They are honorable and will probably accept several different types of payments."
"Thank you Mr. Garibaldi, you have been most helpful." With that Harry continued on through the security check and made his way to what was called the Zocalo. This part of the station was bustling with activity. Bars, casinos, restaurants, and traders were everywhere. Spotting a Narn, Harry walked over to ask him a question.
"Excuse me, my name is Harry Potter and I was wondering if you knew where I might be able to find Ambassador G'Kar? I'd like to know if he would be willing to sell or trade with me on the behalf of his people."
This most certainly gained the Narns attention. "I shall see if I can locate him and inform him of your desire to trade. Where will you be so that he or I can find you?"
Harry looked around and spotted a restaurant with seating outside of it, "Ill be having lunch right over there." He pointed at the restaurant to show the young Narn which one. With a customary bow of his head and fist on chest the Narn disappeared.
Harry headed over to the restaurant, found a table for two and sat down. After ordering a drink, which he had no idea what it was only that it tastes good, he started to look at a menu. After ordering what he thought was a steak of some kind, he only had to wait a few more minutes until he saw G'Kar headed straight for him.
Harry stood and shook the Ambassador's hand. Seeing the surprised look on the Narn, Harry quickly figured out that Narns are not to the human greetings like hand shakes. Gesturing for him to have a seat, Harry sat back down and decided to dive right in. "Ambassador G'Kar, thank you for seeing me. I assure you that it will be well worth your time."
As G'Kar sat down he said, "I'm sure it will be. What can I help you with?"
"To put it simply I want all the information you have on your hyperspace technology and that includes the specs to build your best jump engine. Mr. Garibaldi recommended that I speak to your people so here I am."
"Interesting, I wonder why he recommended my people…I will talk to him later about that. But that is for another time, I would more than glad to sell you or trade for all we know on hyperspace. What do you have to offer; perhaps some of your amazing technology?"
Harry shook his head while responding, "No, I can't offer that. I'm sure there is something else I can do. I have great manufacturing capabilities, or I can come up with whatever you use for currency."
G'Kar thought a moment while the waiter served Harry his food. "Well we use credits but we need other things more than money. My people are a war torn society and was still is recovering from liberating ourselves from the Centauri."
"Well how about resources, is there anything that you are lacking that you need right away?"
"Well the most valuable ore was Q40 but it was very rare. Food and clean drinking water would be helpful as well."
Getting the ore for the Narns wouldn't be a problem, all he would have to do was find a large enough deposit and have the constructors mine it for him. Making up his mind Harry made his proposal. "How about in exchange for the hyperspace tech and one thousand credits I will give you five tons of Q40, five tons of water, and five tons of fresh fruit and vegetables. I need the credits to pay for this lovely meal." G'Kar threw his head back and gave a deep laugh; leave it to a human to order food from one of the best restaurants without the means to pay for it.
"Mr. Potter you have a deal! Give me half an hour and I'll have your credits. You will receive the information on hyperspace upon delivery of the ore; how long till you can uphold your end of the deal?"
"I can have the food and water in three days. I will go find the ore as soon as I return and contact you with how long it will take."
"That was acceptable Mr. Potter."
End Flashback
That was five days ago. The food and water was quickly replicated and delivered. Harry also sent out probes in search of any sizable deposits of the rare ore Q40. The probes had a small hyperspace engines and were also equipped with a shield, cloaking device, and thrusters for re-entry into a planet's atmosphere. Harry made one modification though. He added a compartment that housed a single constructor. Two days ago Harry received a message that he found a suitable planet that could be mined. It was twenty light years away and was uninhabitable planet so no one would be the wiser.
According to the information sent to Harry from the probe, there was plenty of ore close to the surface to fill the Narn's order and for several tones for him self. Harry sent the probe instructions to land, and then he sent the constructer drone onboard instructions. It was to replicate itself from the ore enough times to mine the required ore for the Narns in five days time. Once they had the Narns order placed to the side and ready for transport, the constructors were to mine and refine as much as the ore as was possible without replicating any further.
With that done, Harry contacted G'Kar and let him know of the scheduled completion day of their deal. G'Kar informed Harry that he could have a ship there in six days to transport the ore to the Narn homeworld. All Harry would have to do would be go there and use his transporters to make the transfer from the planet to the Narn ship. Once that was complete, they would have the data crystal for Harry on hyperspace technology.
Once Harry had the specs for the Jump Drive, he planned on studying the technology, improve it and install a model onto the Marauder to test it out, but he wouldn't be getting the specs for another four days.
Flashback
While Camelot was busy replicating the food and water for the Narns, Harry found the Hologram room. He wanted to study on the abilities that Janus said that his people were capable of. Harry remembered the way he could read the Babylon 5 honor guard when they first met on the station and wanted to investigate how he did it. Stepping up to the podium, the standard teaching hologram appeared and looked like she was waiting for Harry to ask his question.
"What abilities were our people known for before they managed to ascend?"
'Our people were known to have many gifts. Telekinesis, healing, and telepathy were the main ones. Many more uncommon abilities were known but were not as common.'
"Do you have to train these gifts or does it come naturally if you have them?"
'Telekinesis and telepathy are all based on will power and clarity of thought, but the more you train these gifts the better at them you will become. Almost all of Alterrans were capable of healing, that is why we lived for so long, but in order to heal someone else, the more an Alterran knew about their anatomy the easier it was.'
With that Harry stepped off the podium and decided to practice telekinesis. He went to his room and sat on the bed. From there he tried to will some of his things to come to him. It didn't work. He remembered that the hologram said that clarity of thought was also a factor. So like he did in his fifth year at Hogwarts, he tried to clear his mind. This time was much easier. He concentrated on only one thing, willing a shoe to come to his hand. With a loud thump a shoe impacted with his forehead, hard. Shaking the cobwebs from his head, he vowed to practice till he perfected this ability; his head couldn't take many hits like that.
End Flashback
Since then Harry had been using telekinesis whenever he could. He was surprised at how fast he picked it up. He could now move objects without having to stop what he was doing, concentrate on what he wanted to have happen and gesture. Heavy object were still hard for him but he was getting better. He wanted to master one talent at a time instead of trying to learn all of them at once.
Harry quickly learned how bad the political situation regarding Earth was very quickly when two rebel Earth Force Cruisers came through the Jump Gate the day before. They came here because they had nowhere else to go since Earth alliance President Clark declared martial law and Mars and many of the other Earth Colonies, including Babylon 5 declared their independence, and also wanted to help protect Babylon 5 from the forces that were being sent to retake the station.
Babylon 5 was a symbol to many people. For Clark, it was the head of the snake he called rebellion. This was because Sheridan and Garibaldi discovered and shared their findings that President Clark ordered the assassination of his predecessor, President Santiago. With Babylon 5 under Earth Alliance control, then none of the alien governments, many of whom were fighting with each other and didn't trust each other even in the best of times, would be utterly confused and not able to mount an attack on Earth.
But for many of the alien worlds and all of the Earth Colonies and those who were now considered rebels, Babylon 5 represented "The Best, Last Hope" whether for peace, like the Minbari, or survival like the Narn, or freedom like the rebels, Babylon 5 was a symbol and there was no way that Sheridan was going to let it be taken from him without a fight.
This meant one thing and one thing only to Harry, all hell was about to break loose. It was a good thing that the Marauder would be completed within the hour because knew he was going to need it.
