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 Any suggestions welcome. This is my first fic, let me know what you think or what you dont. Thanks
A/N Thanks Darthridian for the idea with the Whits Stars
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO PHANTOM1 FOR HIS WORK AS A BETA, GREAT JOB!!
Sheridan was waiting in a cargo bay on Babylon 5 that was barely in use. It was fairly large and had plain grey walls and ceiling. Delenn had talked him into finding a place to put a large object that Mr. Potter would be transporting over and he trusted Delenn so there was no problem in allowing it. Plus he couldn't wait to see this transporting technology work again. He wondered if whatever it is, if it would be just as interesting.
Before he had come to the cargo bay he had sent the location of the room to Mr. Potter and transport was scheduled to commence in about a minute so he didn't have to wait long.
In a flash of light a stand of sorts was transported into the room, then in another three flashes of light a huge ring was setting on the stand, a strange device appeared in front of him, and Harry and Delenn standing beside him.
Harry turned to face the captain. "Good afternoon Captain." Harry greeted Sheridan then stepped aside while he and Delenn greeted each other.
After they're greeting Sheridan turns to Harry to speak to him. "So Mr. Potter, what exactly is this thing called?"
"That is an Astria Porta, and if you can trust us, we will show you exactly what it is later today. We just had to deliver it before we left."
"Delenn filled me in on what you are doing for us and I must say thank you. What you are doing is going to truly assist us. I was also told of you're stunning defeat of the Shadow Vessel. Did you learn anything of it that you can share with us?"
"Let me check." Harry closed his eyes and mentally connected to Camelot. The connection was becoming easier and easier as he did it more often. As a matter of fact he had begun to be able to get small feelings, almost if he could sense technology whenever he was around any. Like now he could sense the door locking mechanism as well as get a distant feel from a console that was just outside of the room. The strongest feeling he got though was from Stargate and the DHD. He could feel them pulsing with power. This one's pulse was not as strong as the Stargate on Camelot but it was still strong.
Using the connection, Harry located everything that he had on Shadow vessels and replicated a storage crystal like the one G'Kar gave Harry that contained all the information. He then had it transported over to himself, in the hand he was holding out. He gestured for Sheridan to take the crystal. "This has all the information I have from our brief 'discussion' together. Use it well."
"Thank you again Mr. Potter. Well, I'll let you be on your way. Let me know when you are ready to fully explain that," he said waving an arm at the Stargate. "I'm going to go take a look at this information while I wait for your call." With a handshake from Harry and a secret glance at Delenn, Sheridan exited the cargo bay while Harry transported the two of them back to Camelot.
Harry beamed himself and Delenn directly to the chair room where Harry promptly took a seat. He brought up a holographic image of the area of space as he knew it. For a radius of ten light years the map was complete and in full detail. Further beyond that the space was only sporadically filled in from long range scans he conducted in certain areas of space and the area around his mining camp, including the route to and from the camp.
"If you could Delenn, I need the coordinates for the White Star shipyards so I can plot a course." Receiving the coordinates, Harry ran a long range scan for that part of space. After a minute the section of space opened up to a planet and just visible was White Star construction yards. Also visible was a star base of alien design.
"How long would it take you to get there by Hyperspace?"
"Two days. How fast will your way take?"
Harry just smiled and concentrated on prepping the city for flight once more. He checked all the systems and made sure that the Marauder was securely docked and would make the trip without damage. All systems were green so Harry began to power the powerful engines and inertial dampening systems. All that Delenn could see was Harry and the holographic map of the area Harry had explored so far and the sensor filled map. Realizing this, Harry replaced the map with a view from the top of the city showing Babylon 5 and all the local traffic.
Without warning, Harry started to fly Camelot towards the edge of the system, leaving the station behind. Once they cleared the local traffic, Harry started to power the intergalactic hyperdrive engines, the fastest hyperdrive system known to the Alterrans, and in a brilliant explosion of light, Camelot entered hyperspace. To a vessel capable of crossing galaxies and the giant voids in between in mere hours or days, going a couple dozen light years took take no time at all.
As soon as Camelot entered hyperspace Harry started the procedures to exit it. As they exited hyperspace, the view being projected showed the White Star shipyards. Delenn was confused.
"Why did you change the view? Are your scan capable of such detail even from so far away? How much longer until we reach here?" she asked the last question while pointing at the holographic image.
She really had no idea that they have arrived already and Harry couldn't wait to see her reaction when she did realize.
"I'm reading a large body of water on the planet in a moderate climate zone. Do you mind if I land Camelot there while I'm here?" Delenn looked at Harry as though he were crazy. One thing was for certain though; so far Harry has never joked or exaggerated and has always done what he says he can do so she gave him permission.
"When we arrive you may land on the planet, even in the water if that is what you wish." As Harry got the city ready for reentry couldn't help but enlighten her on their current location.
"Thank you Ambassador, but I must tell you, we are already here." With that Harry took Camelot into the upper atmosphere.
With flames from re-entry licking at the shields and a slight shudder from the turbulence, Harry's first re-entry was a success. Finding his landing spot, Harry feed more power to the antigrav engines to come in for a soft landing. Checking to make sure that nothing was damaged, Harry lowered the city's shield and allowed a breeze to go through the city for the first time since he took command of her.
Delenn couldn't believe the speed in which they arrived. She thought that the Marauder was fast but this city was just incredible. Not for the first time she wondered just how strong these enemies were to force Harry to look for any technology from other dimensions. His technology was so far advanced than anything she has ever seen.
Coming out of her musings she spoke to Harry. "You most certainly are full of surprises Harry." Smiling and standing, Harry led Delenn to the nearest transporter room and took them both to the control center. It was time to get the information on the White Stars and to demonstrate the Stargate.
Once in the control room Harry went to a communication terminal and established a link with Babylon 5. Thinking that Delenn would have a better chance of getting a hold of Sheridan the fastest, he let her contact him and tell him to be in the cargo bay in twenty minutes.
With that done Harry asks Delenn, "Do you have the specs for the White Stars on you?"
"Of course" She held out a rather large data crystal. Harry took it and scanned it. He instructed Camelot to project a holographic image of the White Star, with the power system to be displayed above it separately. Already, Camelot could see where the power system was flawed and had suggestions on how to fix the mistake. The problem was that the engines seemed to bleed too much energy so it either needed more power or a different way to route it.
Instead of redeveloping the power system, Harry took Camelot's best suggestion to fix the problem. Using the Q40 ore to line the power conduits would stop the bleed of power running through the ship. Not as good as naquada but better than the semi organic conduits that they were using in the designs already.
"Alright Ambassador, I have fixed the power problems of the White Star design, now we just need get production underway. Where are the extra materials kept that I requested?"
"Those materials are being kept on the station in orbit. Are you able to scan the lowermost deck to locate it? We were able to get you roughly ten tons of the crystalline composite that we use to make the hulls of our standard ships. I hope that is acceptable."
"That is more than fine, I assure you." Operating the sensor controls with his mind, he quickly located the materials and transported all of it to an open part of the city that could hold the large amount of materials and subsequently many constructors. Once Harry is finished with the transport, he beamed one constructor to the materials with one order: Use all the materials there to duplicate it self. While that's going on, Harry began to explain to Delenn what would happen.
"Right now Ambassador, I am creating the machines that will actually do the ship building. All these constructors are incredibly fast and very efficient. They will all work together to build each ship exactly the same from the specs here." He pointed to the updated specs on the hologram where he fixed the power flaw.
"Now depending on the number that can be created from the materials you provided will determine the speed in which ships will be built. Is this acceptable?"
"That is more than acceptable. It seems that you have worked out all the details. However I must ask even though I fear the answer will be no, but is there anyway that you could improve upon the design, anything at all will be helpful and in return I have been given permission to share one of my peoples best kept secrets, our quantum singularity power core."
As Delenn was asking for more help from him and telling him what he would get in return, Harry started to pace, thinking of all the pros and cons of such a trade; a trade that could possibly tip the balance of power considerably in one direction. Well, there are ways to ensure that the ships wouldn't be used for negative reasons. On the plus side even though Harry and his ancestors had extensive knowledge on black holes and how to create and contain them, they never created a usable core to power a ship or anything else with it. This could be beneficial.
"I would be willing to make some upgrades but I will have to put a way to ensure that these upgrade won't be misused in anyway. Without this insurance there will be no upgrades, do we have a deal?"
"What is this insurance that you will put into place?"
"It will be a tamper proof and extremely intelligent computer software that will determine whether or not the actions of those in charge of the vessel won't use it for the wrong purposes. To give you an example: say that the White Stars that I build were to be controlled by President Clark of the Earth Alliance, they would have ceased to function if they were the ones ordered to bomb Mars. Also attempted genocide won't work either." Harry said this while giving a pointed look at Delenn.
Looking like a teen being scolded by her parents she responded as such. "I assure you we learned our lesson with our last war and we would NEVER bomb be like President Clark so we will gladly agree to this stipulation. We have a deal. What improvements are you able to give us?"
Walking over to the holographic White Star Harry got to work. Since they only had about ten minutes before they were to meet Captain Sheridan that was the time that Harry allotted to make the upgrades with Camelot's help. He increased the power by 25 percent by making the fusion reactors on board more efficient. He added capacitors to hold enough power to operate the jump engine without a wait time or the need to take power from the other systems. The weapons were given a higher power rating by a twenty percent margin on all weapons across the board. The firing rate was the same as the original design; the weapons just packed more of a punch. The last upgrade that Harry made were sensors with longer scanning range.
He ran all of these upgrades through a protected computer module that was impenetrable and scans proof, even from his scanners. The last way that he decided to protect this technology was that if it was successfully scanned or opened the box would self destruct. This computer module would ensure that these upgrades wouldn't be misused. Harry explained all the upgrades and the security measures he placed to Delenn. She was more than pleased.
With that Harry instructed Camelot to transport the constructors to the orbital shipyard to begin construction as they were ready to go. With that done Harry walked over to the Camelot DHD.
Dialing the only other stargate in this dimension, Harry activated the Stargate right on time. When the giant whoosh of energy exploded from the stargate Delenn jumped into the air from the shock of the sudden release of energy. Once the gate settled and resembled a vertical pool of water Delenn walked over to it to examine it.
"It's so beautiful. Does it always explode like that and what would happen if you were in front of it when it happened?"
"It does always explode like that and anything in front of it will…lets just say it won't be there afterwards. Are you ready to take the first stargate trip in this dimension?"
"I must say that I am nervous but I won't let that stop me."
Little did she know but this was Harry's first stargate trip as well and he was VERY excited. He has been waiting for this moment ever since he learned what the stargate was. Now that the stargate was activated it, was assaulting Harry's senses. Something in the back of his mind was telling him that he didn't even need to use a dialing device, that he could activate it with his will alone. His list of things to research was slowly adding up.
"Well, then Ambassador, lets not keep the good captain waiting." Walking to the edge of the stargate they stopped, looked at each other, took deep breaths, and stepped through the event horizon. With the sensation of traveling at untold speeds through space along a corridor, making twists and turns as they went along, they both emerged from the stargate on Babylon 5. Delenn was frozen in the spot she emerged from the gate. Harry didn't have the standard frozen problem that others faced after their first Stargate trip.
Standing in front of them with his mouth agape was Captain Sheridan. Not just five minutes ago there wasn't anything in the middle of the ring that Mr. Potter called an 'Astria Porta', and then all of a sudden the ring starting spinning on its own with lights all along the outside of the ring lighting up. It kind of reminded him of an old 20th century rotary phone.
After it was finished 'dialing' there was a loud whoosh as an explosion of what looked like water exploded from the device. Then suddenly the whoosh was sucked back into the device and it created what looked like water, only it was standing straight up! Then suddenly, Delenn and Harry Potter step out!! Once they stepped thru, the water in the middle evaporated into nothingness. If he was any other man who hasn't seen as much as he had, he was sure he would have fainted.
"Wow. Ok, that was not I expected in the slightest. I would ask you how it works but I'm sure that I wouldn't understand. Let me just say that that is one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen. Where did you travel here from?"
Delenn who was finally able to walk around properly excitedly jumped towards Sheridan to explain. "John, we were Camelot finishing the White Star deal and starting production. Harry dialed a series of seven symbols and whoosh the Stargate activated. We stepped in and seconds later we are here! Dozens of light years in seconds! I can't believe it…" Delenn was walking around talking to herself in her excitement, totally oblivious of the amusement of the others in the room.
Harry turned to Sheridan to talk to him. "Well, Captain as much as I would like to stay here I have some things that I have to take care of back at Camelot. My time here is almost finished and there is still a lot that I have to do. If you need me dial these seven symbols in this order and then simply transmit an audio and visual message to me. Do not try to come through until I say that it is safe because the security of my gate will not let you come out on the other side. Ok?" while he was talking, Harry showed him the seven symbols so that he could commit them to memory.
"Thank you and I will remember about the security. If it's at all possible I would like a go at this before you leave." Sheridan said pointing at the stargate.
"That shouldn't be a problem. Take care of the Ambassador here." Harry pointed to Delenn who was still rambling with a smile plastered on her face.
"I will. Good day Mr. Potter."
"Good day to you Captain."
Harry walked over to the stargate and decided to follow the nagging voice in the back of his head about activating the stargate with his will power alone. Closing his eyes and concentrating only on his destination, Camelot, Harry focused all his will and all his power on the stargate. When he opened his eyes, they are glowing with power. Waving his arm in front of the gate in a semi circle, the event horizon appeared. Harry had never felt so alive or powerful as he did at that moment. Before walking through the gate, Harry looked back at his small audience and with his eyes still glowing with power waved to them and stepped through the gate.
Finally alone and able to work, Harry got started on his projects he wanted to get done before he left this dimension. First was the Vorlon Bio Armor. Bringing up a schematic of Camelot, Harry wanted to find the perfect lab for himself to do all of his main projects in. Finding the perfect one he made his way to the transporter room. The lab was located in a building that was adjacent to the construction facilities. It wasn't a tall building, but it did have a large work area that was open and capable of allowing Harry to work on anything that he needed.
Another advantage of this lab was that it was shielded so it wouldn't damage the city if there was an accident; there was also an observation room in the lab that was shielded so if Harry was experimenting with anything dangerous he would be safe inside there while still observing the tests he was conducting. There was also a molecular replicator and a dedicated computer mainframe. It was perfect for what Harry would need.
Entering the lab Harry looked around. While the lab had work tables, some seats, the replicator, and various computer modules, it was still sparse and lacked character. The walls were bare and the lab had wide open spaces across the floor. Harry figured that with time the room would become filled with various projects and experiments and that would give the lab a better feel than the stiff and brand new feeling he got now.
Getting started, Harry decided to get a close look at the bio-armor to see exactly how it worked. He displayed a holographic representation on what the bio-armor was actually made of and how it differed from all the other bio-armors that were in the database. This armor used organisms that were remarkably like nanites. It was these special organisms that gave the armor its adaptability and strength. The key for this organism to be produced was actually from the crystalline compound that the Vorlon's used for their hulls. They applied a specific energy field to the crystalline compound that had to be maintained for just the right amount of time with no deviation in strength in order to produce these organisms. The one flaw in this design was that while the organisms were adaptable and capable of healing, the materials they were made from weren't very strong.
So Harry began to experiment. At first he tried to just make nanites that would do the same thing but found out that while he could make them and make them quickly they just weren't as effective, at least not yet. So he started to experiment how to make the organisms and the materials for the base of the armor stronger.
Using the computers to assist in the modification of the armor and two meals later Harry thought that he had a workable solution. Using holographic simulations, the answer was to work naquada into the armor by combining the crystalline compound and naquada at the molecular level. If it worked as the simulation did, then a whole new type of material would be created that was still able to produce the organisms that made the armor so effective and give it the strength of the naquada. Naquada was also a better conductor for energy than the crystalline compound alone so the energy absorption rate also increases by several factors.
One good thing about the process was that the crystal base could be replicated easily so Harry didn't have to worry about running out. So after figuring out how to successfully combine the two materials, Harry created a sample piece of the armor. He used the naquada from his supply he had in storage and created a 2'x2'x2" piece of armor to test and make sure everything worked properly. Instead of the normal white color of the White Stars, this armor was a medium grey from the naquada that was mixed in.
Now that he had the armor ready to test he had to come up with the best way to test it. He wanted to eventually make the armor resistant to any form of energy weapon possible so he decided to build a chamber that will 'treat' the armor by making it come into contact with every form of energy and radiation that he could. It would start at a low setting and eventually reached the highest setting possible. This chamber would have to be made of the strongest materials that Harry could create. It would also be an energy hog so he attached a ZPM to the chamber so it would have sufficient power. The ZPM would also power a shield that would keep all the harmful radiation and energy contained within the unit itself. Linking his mind with the construction bays computer, he started to put together the chamber and left instructions to have it transported to him in the lab when it is complete.
Half an hour later the BAT Chamber (Bio Armor Treatment) was delivered to the lab. The Chamber was six foot wide, ten feet high, and twelve feet deep. There were no windows and attached to the mount finish of the outside of the chamber was a ZPM. Inserted into the side of the chamber was the control screen that would allow Harry to manually operate the chamber but he could connect with the chamber mentally to operate it if he desired.
Opening the door of the chamber, Harry reached out with his telekinesis and moved the armor into the chamber. After it was inside he closed the door and activated the control screen. The chamber was already set up for exactly what he needed for it to do so he turned it on. To treat the armor and to allow it to heal in between energies, it would take 24 hours. Exhausted from the long day Harry decided to get some sleep.
Six hours later Harry was back in the lab but this time he was working on the jump engine technology. With the engine that he got from the design of the White Stars, he could place it in any ship at his disposal, providing it could work with his power systems, namely a ZPM.
The ZPM and the engine weren't compatible. If he tried to use the engine with his power system it would destroy the engine so Harry made the necessary changes to the schematics to handle the power of the ZPM. He also found a way to make the engine smaller but still effective as well. Once he was happy with his current changes he mentally instructed the Marauder to head to the construction facilities and ordered the constructors there to build a jump engine inside of it. Build time was three hours.
Three hours later, Harry was inside the Marauder getting ready for his first trip in 'hyperspace'. Clearing the construction bay, Harry took off into the atmosphere in a steep climb. Once he has in space, he could see the constructors working away at the first of two batches of White Stars, fifty in all. Already the frames were taking shape and it had only been one day! Heading outside of the system so he didn't have to worry about anything getting in his way, Harry prepared to power the jump engine. Making sure that everything was working properly, he took a deep breath and opened a jump point. This jump point was different though. It seemed like a more controlled window and as Harry coasted in he realized it felt pretty similar to entering a hyperspace window. But that was where the similarities ended.
While hyperspace was smooth and serene, this was rough and dismal. His vessel was not designed with 'hyperspace in mind. The inertial dampeners were doing their job fine but it wasn't instant. The computer had to experience and learn how 'hyperspace' affected the Marauder before it could operate at peak efficiency. After the computer learned enough about the pushes and pulls of 'hyperspace', the ride smoothed out but the picture outside the ship was still bleak. A sea of red as far as the eye could see with visible gravitational eddies surrounded the ship.
Harry ran scans at full power to get all the information that he could about hyperspace. The first thing that he noticed was that while the Marauder couldn't scan hyperspace from normal space, that didn't stop the scans from getting to normal space from hyperspace. While the picture wasn't crystal clear, it was enough that he didn't have to travel using the beacons being broadcast by the jump gates. This meant that in later dimensions he could still accurately travel in hyperspace since they wouldn't have beacons unless they to used jump gates and tachyons.
With navigation settled, now came speed. In the information he received from G'Kar, speed was determined by the power of your engines. If that was the case, the Marauder should be the fastest thing in hyperspace due to its ability to go just under the speed of light, and that in normal space. However, in hyperspace the physics were different so Harry wanted to see just how different they were. Harry accelerated to full power, slowly. As he sped up the ride didn't get any worse at all so Harry concluded that his vessel's sophisticated computer systems were adapting to this strange environment.
As he reached max speed, Harry noticed that there was no time distortion so that's one way that Hyperspace was different. According to his readings if he was to start at Babylon 5 and was to head to Earth he could make it there in about six hours instead of the standard thirty-six. Decelerating and turning 180 degrees to come back the way he came he decided to check his other systems. He raised shields and found out that he would have to modify them if he wanted them to work at full power. As they were now they only worked at about fifty percent capacity and were strained. Something about hyperspace was destabilizing the shield and the shield harmonics were shifting.
The next thing that Harry did was fire one of his beam cannons. The information he received said that energy weapons wouldn't go straight and missile wouldn't track. His energy weapon didn't go straight either but only to a small degree. Firing a drone, Harry could still control it just as easily as he could in normal space. The last test he wanted to do wouldn't involve the Marauder at all. He was going to get one of his hyperspace capable probes and see if you could go to hyperspace while in 'hyperspace'. He just didn't want to risk his ship or his life in the process. With the tests done for now and the scans complete Harry returned to normal space and opened a hyperspace window for the tiny jump back to Camelot.
After returning to Camelot and waiting for the armor to be complete, Harry headed to his lab to inspect his newly created armor sample. If everything worked the way it was supposed to the armor would be pretty much impervious to any energy weapon that Harry could produce. Once inside the lab Harry decided that he will have a side by side comparison with the original White Star armor with his newly designed armor. In order to do this he created a piece of the White Star armor with the same dimensions as his new piece. He also has the construction bays rig up two stands that will hold the armor in place while Harry fired at it with the Marauder's energy beam. The two stands will be placed outside by the docks so Harry can get a good shot at it and it won't damage anything by trying to fire a massive weapon inside.
Transporting the armor to the construction bay to be attached to the stands and transporting himself to the Marauder, Harry sat in the control chair and primed his energy cannons. Getting a signal that the stands are ready with the armor attached, he told Camelot to transport them in front of the Marauder. After seeing them appear in front of him, Harry decided to test the original armor first.
A lance of blue energy left the Marauder and made contact with the armor. It held back the energy for about five-seconds before it gave way and the beam broke through the other side. Seeing that the armor held up against the Alterran plasma cannon at all is impressive in itself. Next Harry fired on the upgraded armor. This armor took the energy weapons force head on and managed to disperse all the energy. After thirty-seconds of constant fire Harry quit firing.
Harry was now really impressed. To be so thin and be able to stop a full power blast for thirty-seconds. A shot powered by a ZPM. Figuring that he should try two cannons at the same time, which was what he did next. He shot the upgraded armor with two shots a blue plasma at the armor; this time after 15 seconds both shots managed to blow out the back of the Bio-Armor.
With this successful test, Harry re-docked the Marauder and transported both stands back to the construction bay for recycling and the armor to the lab for further study. After transporting himself to the construction bay he went to the control console and got to work. The first thing he did was to build a hyperspace capable probe, but he designed it big enough to house the downscaled jump drive as well. He also added stronger sensors and communication equipment.
Final construction was about the size of a gate ship. This probe was to test using his normal hyperdrive in this dimensions 'hyperspace'. The stronger sensors and communication equipment was so the ship could scan what was happening as it executed the experiment and to keep in constant link with Camelot so that Harry could learn everything he could since he did not see this experiment ending well. And for this reason he planned to wait till he got to a dimension where no one traveled in hyperspace because he had no idea of what the reaction would be.
The next thing that Harry made were several extremely large BAT chambers so that he could begin to treat the armor as Harry made it. His first idea was to replace the hull of the Marauder with bio-armor. He also began to convert one of the slipways to house a Chamber that will be able to treat ships as new weapons and energies are discovered. He wanted to be able to maximum his ability to update new armor, no matter what it was being used for.
With his projects mostly complete, Harry decided that he would leave this dimension in three days time. The construction of the White Stars didn't need his supervision and all he needed to do was to get the plans for the quantum singularity reactor from Delenn, collect his Stargate and to collect his ore. Three days was plenty of time to accomplish all of that. It may even be too much time.
And Harry was right, it was too much time. To his surprise Captain Sheridan dialed Camelot stargate because Delenn wanted to come through because she had business on the Minbari homeworld. Also on her way through she gave Harry a data crystal with the information that was due to him for the upgrades to the White Stars. The pick up of the stargate and the ore would wait till Harry was about to leave this dimension.
That time was now. Harry had spent his remaining time making sure that everything was ready to go and that there were no loose ends that he would be leaving behind. After giving the constructors in orbit orders to finish building the required number of White Stars and then to destroy themselves and to destroy themselves if anyone was to try and tamper with them, Harry was ready to leave the waters of the ocean. With all systems in the green and Harry in the control chair Harry powered up the city and made it ready to go into orbit once more.
With the majestic city entering orbit, and its golden shield glowing brightly against the black backdrop of space, Harry accelerated away from the planet and his last thought before disappearing into a hyperspace window was 'I hope the gifts I have given does any harm but a lot of good for everyone.' With that Harry and Camelot disappeared from Minbari territory.
Arriving at Babylon 5 Harry beamed the Stargate that was on Babylon 5 back into storage in the city and the stand back to the construction bay to be recycled. Committing a long last look of the Babylon 5 station to memory, Harry headed towards his mining camp. Reaching the uninhabitable planet Harry began to beam all of the refined Q40 ore to the city stores'. Instructing the constructors to dismantle themselves, Harry didn't want any falling into enemy hands because the possibility for misuse was too great.
As Harry was beaming up the ore, Camelot detected eight Shadow Vessels approaching at high speed, well a high speed for those species of this dimension. Harry assumed that they detected him and recognized his power signatures and were coming to try to avenge their comrade that Harry destroyed. Harry really didn't feel like fighting and causing anymore problems for anyone else because of him. In the last few days he tried to replay this entire trip into this dimension. He seen where he was cocky, he seen where he was naive, he seen where he should have thought about the consequences of his actions first. He had also seen how lucky he was that his initial first contact didn't end with dead bodies.
His trades went well as far as getting technology from others but he wasn't too happy with his disregard of his initial decision not to give any others help with technology. At the time he didn't consider what may happen when he left and he also didn't consider the small changes in the balance of power that he had created. He had great technical knowledge but in the wisdom category he was found lacking. But overall it was a great learning experience and Harry was going to make the best of it and use what he learned in this dimension in the ones he will visit in the future.
The on thing that Harry knew was that in this dimension, the Minbari were the intellectuals and the philosophers and that if they said something would happen, it would indeed happen. Knowing that his actions in the dimension would affect those he left behind, namely that the Shadows would take out their anger on Babylon 5 and other innocent targets, Harry decided to leave one last gift for his friends. Thats why wisdom be damned, and for the moment he thought with his heart and not with his head.
Acting quickly, Harry order Camelot to build thousands of space mines capable of hyperspace and the ability to cloak. This would allow them to pass the Shadows without any problems. After learning about Z'ha'dum from the first Shadow vessel, Harry ordered three quarters of his mines to bombard the planet while the others would take care the eight approaching vessels.
Due to the amount of time required, Harry transferred all available power to the construction bays to pump out the mines in minutes instead of hours while he loaded the ore. The casued the normally glowing city to dim a bit, but still looked impressive. Once they were completed, Harry sent them on their way.
Once the ore was transported onboard and the mines were away, Harry powered the DDrive and just like last time he chose to go to a random dimension. With ten minutes to spare before the Shadow vessels arrived, Camelot blinked out of existence in a bright flash of light.
When the eight Shadow Vessels arrived and began to scan the planet and surrounding space, they never picked up the cloaked mines until they exploded at the same time as the ones that traveled via hyperspace to Z'ha'dum. The resulting light show obliterated the Shadow forces and their homeworld. The few remaining Shadows that remained in existence would be picked off by the Vorlons and the new White Stars.
Shortly after the explosions, a message was received at Babylon 5. It was coded to be played for Sheridan and the War Council that Sheridan had created. After assembling the group, Sheridan activated the message.
Harry appeared on the screen, he was sitting in the control chair on board Camelot "Greeting my friends. If everything goes to plan, then this should be playing in front of the Babylon 5 War Council. As you might have already guesses, I am gone. There are other dimensions to see, and my own dimension that needs saving.
"I wanted to thank all of you for trading with me and showing me a lot during my short time here. The White Stars will be completed in a matter of days, and then the constructor bots will self destruct. It is because I do not want anything falling into the wrong hands.
"I also wanted to inform you that shortly before I left, I deployed mines to destroy a fleet of eight Shadow Vessels heading towards the planet I had been mining ore from. I also deployed over three thousand mines to Z'ha'dum to obliterate the home of the Shadows and all of the Shadows there.
"The few remaining Shadows can be hunted down with the White Stars. I gave the sensors one last upgrade to help find the Shadows. According to the data I collected, there should only be a few dozen Shadow vessels remaining.
"With this threat out of the way, take the time and clean up your own houses, mainly Centauri Prime and Earth. United you will survive and reach new heights, divided you shall fall. Be well."
Sheridan and the War Council stared at the screen thinking about what Harry had said, each making plans to not waste what they had been given.
