With the speed of the pathetic Goa'uld technology, our Emperor arrived at the planet. This world would be used to forge the beginnings of the Empire and go down in history after being named the greatest Forge World. Using technology that no one else dared, he was capable of building the foundations quicker than anyone could have predicted.
Materials were gathered by his minions and a city would be built upon the sight of his landing. It would be this city that housed the industrial strength of the Empire for many years to follow.
- Short extract from Imperial Record #1
After a week of travel, the Tel'tak dropped out of hyperspace. Below the ship was an uninhabited planet who's stargate that hadn't been used in years. The Goa'uld never came here and that was the reason there were no human life present. It did however boast several deposits of naquadah. The Tok'ra had once scouted this planet for use as a base, but its close proximity to one of Apophis' more important planets increased the chance of detection. But now that all of the System Lords, except Ba'al, were dead and the Ori had been defeated, they no longer needed this planet.
It was so far from their new home world that not even the Naquadah tempted them to set up operations here. However, Eddie needed this planet's remoteness and its naquadah. Unfortunately, the Asgard beaming technology couldn't create naquadah or neutronium, well not without bleeding the generators dry.
Eddie piloted the ship down towards the planet. His eyes flickered over to the sensor's and to his surprise, there was a lot more Naquadah down there than An'ran remembered. There were massive deposits deep inside the mountains, too deep for the Goa'uld mining to reach, and virtually impossible to mine. Even with Asgard beaming technology. Also, there were some neutronium veins and a bit of trinium. Other common metals were abundant, but they weren't needed as urgently.
Upon touching down on the planet, Eddie and Lindy left the Tel'tak and looked around the grassy plain. They smiled to each other and continued to look at the breath taking view. Eddie left Lindy to enjoy the sights as he returned to the ships interior to deal with the Asgard core.
Fortunately, it retained the user-friendly interface. First thing Eddie did was to program and create replicators. He used the ARC reactors together to fuel to creation of the first batch of replicator that would start the whole process. The Asgard core was really easy to use. All Edward did was set out basic rules and it filled in the rest.
The first base code for the replicators was about obeying Eddie and Lindy. The first series of additional code reinforced the recognization protocal of Eddie and Lindy while obeying every command without disobeying the base code. Of course, the command to never harm the pair was included. Also, Eddie included the code to make them immune to anti-replicator weapons. Also any attempt at changing their base code, unless it was Eddie, would cause the destruction of the compromised unit.
The second series of codes were regarding how Eddie and Lindy interacted with them so no one could possibly steal them from their command. Third was the basic replicator stuff with a twist. They could only replicate when ordered and their limit would be set at the beginning of a replication cycle. Also they would stop if they received the order. They would be the replicators but they will obey Eddie and Lindy completely. They were also forbidden from ever making a humanoid version or anything else that would undermine his command.
Second thing he did was to create an interface with the replicators. He would use a simple Asgard neural interface that looked like a small white gem that was placed on the temple or back of the neck. Eddie created two of the devices and attached one of them onto the back of his neck. The Asgard core was great help. Using the interface, he immediately gave them orders as they appeared infront of him.
'You will go into the mountains, and will dig into the mountains for any minerals. You will mine them and bring them back to me in large blocks.' Eddie thought and I gave them mental image of 1kg bars of metal.
'You will replicate until you number five-hundred. Mine the resources you need to reach that number. After that, your priority is to mine the resources into the ingots. Of the metals, neutronium, naquadah, trinium and titanium are the priority.' Eddie metally ordered.
Then, he followed them out of the ship as they headed off to work. As they passed Lindy, she jumped in fear. He watched them as they began their journey towards the mountains. It wouldn't take them long to reach their goal. It was time for the next phase of the plan.
"Here, put this on the back of your neck, it'll allow you to metally command the replicators." Eddie smiled. He watched as she put it on her neck and cringe slightly at the sensation.
"Dinner?" Eddie asked, smiling.
General Laundry had called an emergency meeting. SG-1 had arrived in the briefing room a few seconds ago and taken their seats.
"What the hell happened?" Laundry asked Carter.
"I don't know, sir." Sam admitted.
"Well, guess." Hank ordered.
"I honestly don't know, sir. One minute we're running a diagnostic on the hyperdrive, the next a mechancal man walks into the room firing a zat." Carter said, looking defencive.
"How the hell did anyone in a Goa'uld cargo ship manage to sneak onboard Odyssey and take a room full of hostages?" Laundry asked, sitting down.
"According to the ships sensors, what appeared to be a hyperspace window opened up several miles away and then an intruder was reported. My guess is the ship was cloaked." Sam explained.
"I thought we could see through Goa'uld cloaks?" Mitchell asked.
"We can, but we didn't detect anything." Sam nodded.
"So they weren't using a Goa'uld cloak?" Vala spoke up.
"I'm not ruling that out, but the sensors were disrupted by some type of radiation." Sam admitted.
"Well the IOA and the President aren't happy that someone managed to break into one of the most advanced ships in the galaxy and steal advanced technology." Laundry informed, red faced.
"But sir, that's not Sam's fault." Daniel interjected.
"I know that, but the IOA want someone to blame and Colonel Carter is the best candidate." Hank nodded.
"What are they going to do about it?" Sam asked, concerned.
"Nothing. General O'Neill told them that your invaluable to the program. So you're still heading to Midway in a month. But I want answers." Hank replied. The general stood up and returned to his office.
Eddie woke from his sleep on the temporary camp bed. A strange thought was running though his head. He then realized that it was the Replicators telling him that they'd reached the five-hundred milestone. Smiling, he turned back over and returned to his sleep.
Now he was ready to begin building the Empire. He would start with small populations of Jaffa and humans that he would gather on a world that would be the capital of the Empire. Athamis.
