Took a while because I didn't know what to do first with this world. There is no plot to this story, it will be a reality jumping experience for mark and his people. He might come home with new toys or he might unleash untold horrors on his own universe (if he ever gets in 40k, this world is fucked). As of right now I have a list of movies books and games that I like and hate and a roll of the dice decides what happens. I just have to spoil it and say the first world is tame and isn't sg1 tech but at the same time isn't chaos hordes screaming through the portal from the warp. He might end up with enemies on the other side that he wants to ignore, and never come back and they might find a way back here now that its open I don't know. so if you are looking at this story still and thinking I have an overall enemy that will cause him problems he won't unless he meets one that he can't kill or get rid of. The story is just world building and what I would do if I encountered certain realities.
This world will be finished in the chapter but other worlds will take more than a single chapter. There was not much to write about in this one since he wanted to keep the time line going as straight as possible and make sure everything happens.

Fuckety fuck it's been 10 years since I graduated university and I have come to realize I am surrounded by a bunch of yandere maids / Halley's army. It took me a while but I finally realized it when I was actually raped by one of them, that run and watch over the legal side. It happened when we got the legal ok to start a military firm. After I found out that it was her who was the one who made most of it happen so fast with her dedication to doing a good job, Halley had "rewarded" her by being able to sleep with me.
She is this beautiful thing that has all the guys in the office fixated on that amazing ass when she walks around in a women's business suit, with a tight black pencil skirt. Hell she looks like a version of Anne Hathaway in her mid-20's yet with the firm high chest of a teenager. Add in the way she walks and practically stalks the office, and I wouldn't be surprised if most men want to be punished by her for screwing up at work.
So in the end it wasn't so much rape, as surprise that all she wanted was to give herself to me. She said she just wanted to serve me, and told me all about how Halley told her she needed to be forceful in getting her reward for doing such a good job. I on the other hand was screaming in my mind because fuckety fuck if I don't handle this right with Hermione things will turn bad. I don't worry about Luna because the little thing (shes 5'1) has no issue with going after anyone female. She told me no guys can keep up with her but me, but with the maids training she can have fun with them. So I don't worry about her. But Hermione would be an issue if I don't bring this up right now as its happening, as soon as I got ahold of a time turner.
After all was said and done (on her office desk in the middle of the day with I silencing charm) I took a time turner back an hour. When I returned in time I went and found Hermione working on her cloning project, I sat down and told her what Halley had done and promised. I had no issue with throwing Halley under the bus on this one to keep myself safe. The thing I didn't expect was when she questioned if I loved her and I said yes. Then she asked if I loved Jennifer and I said I don't but I appreciate what she did for me and I find her attractive. She then told me as long as it's something like this and kept "in-house" she didn't mind to much as long as she had all the time she wanted with me. She told me her jealousy has been slowly going away since this all started and there is only a slight twinge every now and again. She told me the only reason why our relationships work, is because of the time turners giving everyone all the time they want together and that's what usually causes issues. It's also because I don't favor anyone in front of the other and give each of them attention they want.
After that she laughed at me and told me that I have an army of yandere maids at my beck and call. She said it jokingly, but I think she was enjoying her revenge when she saw my eyes light up in a bit of panic. I guess this was her revenge on me. I can only guess what she will do to Halley, because she won't do anything to the maids because it's not their fault for their lingering programing.
The only issue I have with all this is that there are an even 30 "maids" so far unlike 5 years ago when there were 23. Halley won't tell me where they came from, and when I asked Tonks all she did was give me an AAR of the incident and listed that the guy doing it was captured but she didn't list a name. I kind of wanted to see this bastard but the look in Tonks eyes just made me drop the whole thing.
27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27
During these years I have made some good inroads with the Australian ministry to the point that they will leave me alone as long as I keep bribing certain people. The reason I am bribing, is I can't be bothered to care about them and don't want to deal with them. Add to the fact since I don't want to deal with them it takes them little effort to make it so no one bugs me because I am not killing any magicals so they don't care.
Because of this outlook from the Australian magical ministry and the continued degradation of British magicals a secret snatch and grab was done for The Quill of Acceptance and The Book of Admittance. With the help of notes from the RoR and the actual stuff my R&D department was able to make a copy of it. With that done many of the old Hufflepuffs were tasked on the weekends to go see the muggle borns and tell anyone that was over 8 years old the truth about magical Brittan and everything else. It was then told to them it would be best to move to Australia, and if they needed a startup job then they would help if they couldn't find one.
Because of this, for 3 years now there have been no new muggle borns coming into the school and I think the pure bloods love it. The work in Hufflepuff still continues with pure bloods and half-bloods who join the house but with the smaller class sizes the school has started to have everyone in the same rooms for lessons. With looking through the paper nothing seems wrong either it's as if they don't care. Well hopefully because of this they will get more and more unicellular and migrate more away from muggles so they can die off as a forgotten branch of humanity.
The new people that came here were told all about the company that I run, and that I also have a magical side to it. I told them I also want people to know muggle technology also. I told them this because I want some more magicals from Australia if they want to work for me and at the same time I want them prepped for what I need of them.
As for my company it has taken over the entire internet for Australia, Fiji and New Zeeland. This is done through companies renting the cube or through resellers of our access to the net. Because of this full country wide connection, Australia has had an IT boom as is still going as of right now and making me money hand over fist. With this money I have expanded the plot of land in the desert I own to be roughly 50km square. With this land being paid for over a 10 year period of time to the government we have started to lay the foundations of a Umbrella version of Skunk Works that will deal with UAV's and anything else we get into. Because this place will grow we even brought all the equipment we needed to lay our own ash fault to make runways and a smooth road leading here.
Sure it will take lots of money but if we start now we won't have an issue finishing it for when the base is done. It should be at least 2 lanes coming and going just in case of future traffic. Also with all this starting, the Antarctic group has been told to start making 2 hives here one for living and civil use and one for all the military use along with rooms big enough to hold planes along with ways to bring them down underground. I'm sure they will come up with something to keep everything underground in a temperature controlled climate.
27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27-27
During all this time I have been thinking about if I can get to another reality, or anything like that. Since I ended up here by the way of a R.O.B (Random Omnipotent Being) or as some people call them alien space bats. They are portrayed as always loving to look in on the lives on the people they mess around with. So far I am lucky because nothing stupid has happened to me and it seems that I got a hands off one that doesn't introduce issues. But still I believe there must be an option to pop to alternate realities that are close to this one or wildly different.
Because of this belief I have been trying things with access boxes because they are my main movement option, because I have yet to make portals, just thin 2 way boxes that are always open. So I have tried to vanish one of the pairs after placing a fidelius on it and putting a parachute on top of it's along with charms to keep it from breaking. When I did this it took a lot of power but in the end it ended up nowhere. I then tried going through my library to see if anything is mentioned about interdimensional travel or to different worlds. Still nothing! So now this is my last shot, I am breaking into the ministry again to toss an access box into the veil to see what happens to it.
Surprisingly they have not done anything with security when I bribed the exact same people again, but this time only 2,000g because I need only a 1 hour window. Apparently fudge just canned all of the unspeakable's because he said in his words "what's the use of a dept. that has nothing and can do nothing now." So most of them where either fired or made into Auror's.
So now here I am at 2 in the morning tossing in a box sideways so that I can maximize the space of the door that I hope to create and at the same time making it so no one on the other side can find it. The one thing we did before this was, ward both openings to each side in case it ends in space that the air from our side doesn't rush out. Same things with animals and germs we have wards for them. The only way for germs or anything to be transported from here to there would be in us, since we can't kill all the essential bacteria in our bodies.(the warding team is looking into making better versions of this ward for germ warfare.)
After I toss in the box I port key to Antarctica where I have set up a special safety room that holds the parallel box is a sub that's at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean. I have multiple safety measures added to the wards including it is boxed in with sapphire with just enough room for me to apparate in to go through the box. Next is multiple buttons in locations in Australia and the island that will detonate multiple C4 charges that will break the hull along with collapsing all enchantments on the box , gate and sub but not effecting the sapphire to keep whatever contained for as long as possible. I can go on and on with safety measures but until I make a moon base this is the best safety measures I can do.
When I look at the open portal of the access box unlike last time when it just turned off this one is showing multiple colors that look like they would break your mind if you were actually in their experiencing it full on and not just visually seeing it. This goes on for 4 days and the entire time I have at least 2 of Tonks people watching over things and letting me know when something changes. So here I am at 4:21 am and I am looking at a beach. Luckily everything is upright so we don't walk out sideways but at this point I am just excited.
Now comes the long and tedious part. I assemble my entire research team to show them this and instruct them on the safety measures and everything else. I have told them at the first sign of anything wrong to terminate this and everyone is to wear emergency port keys to get out. The reason for this is because we don't know if on the other side is a zombie apocalypse, terminator judgement day (hence no complex electronics allowed) or any other dooms day scenarios. Everyone agrees with this because they all have read science fiction books that everything goes wrong because of arrogant scientists. Add to the fact that it is very easy to make another one just maybe not to the same place. Since it only takes 4 days to set up, helps a lot in making sure people have itchy trigger fingers if anything happens. Rather lose money, then have my teams die.
So that meant that over a month has passed with all sorts of things being passed through the box from culturing petri dishes to see if there's funny or strange bacteria, to Geiger Counters. More and more tests where done even with live animals in cages where tossed through to see if anything will happen to them.
Finally in the end when nothing was found but some of new bacteria that would not hurt us we tossed through a GPS device. Nothing was revived back so either this world doesn't work on those same frequencies or we are in a place before them or humans don't exist from either dying off or never evolving. Because of this 2 of the researchers have been asking if they can take a shuttle shrunk through the portal and look around and see if they can find anything. I told them we would get them some germ warfare suites and runes added into them so they can have them on all the time so they have less risks.
Honestly I am getting tired of all the safety shit but I have to lead by example and make this SOP (standard operating procedure) for future missions. In no way do I want to expose my home world to anything. I just can't help being tempted but I will try and make it as safe as possible.
Once those 2 scientist have come back with video records, it looks like they ended up in Chernobyl but since the Geiger Counter is reading safe and they said people where around we can assume its an alternate reality or before the accident. With more and more visits we finally give them gold to pawn off so they can buy a computer with internet access, to find out every major things that's happened and breaking news stories.
One of the major things that was discovered was that there were no magicals there and the lay lines around the world where the same but not as strong as on our earth. It's nice to know there is magic in that world its just that there is barely any ambient magic. Hell there is no magic plants we can find or animals. This either might be the cause of the low strengthened lay lines or responsible because of them. It's a chicken and egg scenario right now but this helps us a lot. That means anything using ambient magic will take longer to charge or not as powerful. But also if we want to steal stuff here we are all set for anything that can get through the box entrance while shrunk.
When they get back this time they realize its 4 years ahead of our time as its 2016 there. Also not much is different other then there computer industry and hardware is way ahead of us. Hell they even have heavy water batteries/generators. For that alone if we can either buy it from them or steal the technology (easier probably just to throw money at someone) I can advance umbrella into new heights and have Australia willing to bend over and do anything for me.
When the teams connected a cube to the net there, and connecting into a standalone network to access their internet we have many people hunting through the net for anything and everything that will give us more knowledge. We even used there SSD's because instead of terabytes on them they have Petabytes. This is made not from silicon but Gallium nitride. And with that they have even upped CPU speed and everything else. I have been buying up as many drives as I can from that side to replace what I have in my server farms here. It's a nice increase in space, I can store things on and same with the speed it runs at. We have even bought all kinds of software they have, and all of this is bought from 3rd party people we have found in the criminal world with gold. Honestly I don't care about messing up there economy by depreciating the gold value.
To me this world is just a test run for a world I would actually want to set up a base at. The reason I am not with this one is because I have nothing to offer and it's massively overpopulated at 14.1 billion people, and there are signs already of massive food shortages.
About 3 months later after being connected to their side I was notified of something significant. Apparently they have walking robots that think as much as a smart tool. Not true AI but good enough to do things you program it to do; apparently right now they have them as security forces. When I heard this I asked what the company name was and they told me it was Tetravaal. As soon as that was mentioned I wasted no time in sending people there to buy as many as they can. Me on the other hand I decided to head down to Johannesburg to copy all the knowledge out of Deon Wilson's head because I don't want an AI and I want to know everything he does before he goes all Chappie. I like the idea of a tool that has a rudimentary AI that will do what it is programed to do not the start of a terminator issue. I will also try and get the knowledge on the mind transfer helmet. But most of all I think I will get this knowledge and have my other teams get the knowledge on how to create everything to make these robots including the petabyte SSD that are used for their brains.
I don't want to stay around here when Chappie hits or eventually someone else comes up with the idea. As of right now the genie is out and it can't be put back in. This just means on my end, when I make these, I will not sell any only rent them, along with magical self-destructs on them along with every other night wipe and reload of their memory core so no random fluke of anything can give sentience to an AI that will kill us all. I would only be willing to use proven AI systems not this first generation that can kill anyone.
So that means we are going to milk this world for all its worth till it goes all Skynet. First sign of Skynet action we are melting anything electronic we have ahold of in the sub and on ourselves. Till then I have all my people asking for everything they can get ahold of in terms of advanced equipment that can make the chips and anything else that is required to make these robots along with anything else they can find. All papers and anything intellectual is also being copied over into servers that will be kept in-house just for umbrella to use. Also all technical universities will be paid for all these years of correspondence courses along with every book that is sold in the university book stores around the world. This should help teach all in my company on this never knowledge and tech, especially on the process of deuterium batteries and how to make them. There might be other stuff we haven't figured out that exist but cost too much to produce.
I am lucky we have created a transmutation circle using a philosopher's stone that copies anything we put in it that's not living with magic. The big plus is that the less proper material you have, the more that needs to be conjured and the more magic it takes to make it permanent. If you take all the required material and add to the circle where the final product will appear it will use as much as a normal transfiguration spell but be as accurate as the piece on the source circle. This is done because a normal person in no way can transfigure something down to nano meters.
But what can happen with the proper mental model that is detailed enough, a copy of that can be used as a source of information instead. Because of this I have been working harder on my scanning abilities. I can't make electronic chips and such but I can make gun parts that will actually move and work together without failing. Maybe after a century I will be able to copy chips but for now I will have to use the more perfect example of a chip or whatever I need in the source circle. When those are done they are carefully stored away for later use. As of right now it's just a prototype but will be eventually made into a construction sized "replicator" for industrial use with our companies. I will be keeping it big to keep the stone safe from theft and not letting people know it's required.
With this way, if I don't get all the things I need from this world before Skynet I can at least have stuff to copy till I can reverse engineer it. Tonks has even started grabbing all new weapons on the market even from companies that don't exist in our world. This should help in us in making our new military branch more effective by having more ideas to draw from that aren't patented. It's stealing but right now I have written off this world completely. Sure it's not guaranteed what will happen and I will check every now and again on this place but I have my own world to worry about then something that could happen. As of right now we have a little over 2 years till the events of Chappie happen or if I decide to stop them. Till then I am sure that I can get every bit of knowledge through glamor and invisibility charms out of this company.
For now I will try not to change anything in the time line because I plan to steal the consciousness transfer device. Hell I might copy a couple of Moose to patrol the outside of our military facility in the desert, along with scouts to be the in-house security at all our facilities. Tonks and her people can use them to supplement their covert op raids on drug dealers if need be but they will be the face of it so we are never linked.

As of right now I am sitting in the office of the new company that's all the rage right now, I am speaking to the CEO of Tetraval Michelle Bradley. It took 2 weeks to get this appointment because she is very busy with all the fame her company has right now.
"So Mr. Holdings what can I do for you. I have a lot to do and was going to ignore this meeting as just another one of those that people that just want our robots program. But when I looked into you do you know what I found?"
"I have a guess."
"Nothing. I found nothing, with everything I have access to and the people who want to suck up to me, I have found nothing on you. Only your picture we got when you came here to request the meeting. Now this is a reason to see you, because as of right now I am very curious as to what you want."
"Well the reason I am here is that I need to buy your robot in some decent numbers but I need some things changed."
"I had thought most of the world was waiting to see how our trials went, with the scout before more people were going to buy them?"
"Oh they will be. This will just be on the side for certain side projects if you know what I mean. I will need 3 types of units. 1 will be just like your police officer unit but I want it all in black with any lights being in the infrared spectrum. The next robot I need designed will still be shaped as a human like the police officer units but I need for it to be programed for farming. I want them to be able to run a farm and be able to know when to harvest crops and how to do it even using machinery normal farmers use to get the job done. And last I want is a surveillance drone that can handle weapons, but that has your programing to control it for reconnaissance purposes and can relay information and video if needed to the black unit. I would also like 2 of your MOOSE units along with replacement parts for 3 full combat deployments."
"Mr. Holdings I would love to do this but I will need to know where my robots will be going. You do know this will increase the price on the second unit by at least double just to pay for the programing that will be required, along with it taking a year to get it right."
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you who I represent, but what if I was to pay twice the value in gold or any precious metal for each robot and drone I pick up?"
"…."
"Ms. Bradley? Are you ok, I assure you that the material you choose will be the purest that can be made along with no identifying marks of where they are from. I hope you understand that I will not be able to sign any contracts with you, but as a sign of good faith I will deliver you the payment of materials before you even produce one unit that I will use. I will also need you to procure me all the equipment I will need to run and control the units. One thing though, is that I don't want there to be any way for any remote uploads of any programing or software or firmware updates. We do not want to run into the problem of anything undesired happening to our unit out in the field because of a faulty code."
"Mr. Holdings while your offer is generous I will need time to think on this and get back to you but I will say your first payment will have to be 2 Tons of gold bars at 1Kg a bar."
After she said this she looked very proud of herself probably thinking that there was no way I would be able to produce that and I would never see her again. Little did she know I was doing all this so that my own people would have a baseline group of robots to work with along with their programing that I will purloin. Because I can always copy these and add more later very easily I will make them do the hard work for now. If I was just going to take everything right now I would have no idea how to make things, best to get the real things from them while my own group starts this. I will need to make everyone I hire for my military division magical so I can oath them, and oath them not to fuck with the programing or make a Skynet AI.
"That will be no issue at all and I look forward to hearing from you. Here is my card with all my details on it to let me know when and where you want the gold delivered."
As I said this I got up and shook her hand. She was still shocked because if I can do this very easily then she now has to be worried about me doing something to her if she ever tries to take the gold and renege on our deal. Sure there are no contracts but when you do these kinds of deals where she can get stupidly rich and have no paper trail then there are scarier issues then fines for reneging.
The phone number I had used was to a burner phone that would turn off and have someone turn on once a day listening for messages. I don't want my movements to be tracked and since I don't plan to be in this world long I don't want to invest in getting my presence added to the system. It's all good to seem like a black ops MI5 operative but I don't need to put more of me out there. Right now I am just enough mysterious and dangerous. Add to anyone's greed of getting that much gold, and I will get what I want, no one is a saint.
When I left I found a secluded spot and cast a whole bunch of charms on myself to not be seen by eyes or cameras, I then spun the time turner back 3 hours. During the time that I was speaking to the CEO this version of myself was going through the office and finding Deon Wilson so I can cast every monitoring and tracking spell I know on him. When that was done I headed to the shop where they were working on the bots. When I got there I found 3 that where slapped with a sticker for crushing. When the coast was clear I immediately shrunk them and tossed them into a trunk I had on me for later testing. Next I was walking around the place so I could get a feel of the place so I could make a port key here or apparate. After that I was walking around and looking over everyone's shoulder I could to see the passwords they typed into the system and anything else I could get.
At the time I didn't realise it, I was also stealing the knowledge of the people there along with Deon Wilson's knowledge with the amount of time I stood there casting spells on him. This all was made clear to me later that night when I went into my mind scape to do the normal inspection and read over some things I have (I learned to refresh myself on knowledge that I don't use that often for something to do.) with guilty spark running things for me and having the sentinels managing my knowledge I didn't have to do much other than do a thorough inspection once a week.
But this time there was something different when I headed down into the hive. After I passed the hidden entrance I came upon 2 scouts flanking either side of the entrance. This had me worried because I didn't put them there or imagine them into being. Add to the fact they had riot shields along with machine pistols and I think I need to have a talk with guilty spark with what's going on. As I summoned him mentally he came floating up to me and greeted me.
"Creator what can I do for you."
"Well you can first tell me what the hell is going on with those 2 scouts, which look like the ones I just inspected are doing here."
"That is very simple creator I put them there with the knowledge I have learned."
"And what knowledge is that?"
"The knowledge I gleaned from Deon Wilson and there creation along with military tactics copied from Nymphadora Tonks."
I stood there staring at him wondering what the hell I had created when I made this thing. I only made it to manage my telepathy connections so I would not have to concentrate on it when I wanted information from someone. It seems that he has decided everyone is fair game to get knowledge from. Hell Tonks has shields, how the hell did he get through them without her noticing and what's with him updating my security on my mind.
"Explain to me how knowledge was gained from Tonks and why you read Deon Wilson's mind without a prompt from me."
"The situation with Deon Wilson was done because he has knowledge you wanted. So because of this I took that as a prompt to take everything he knows about the field of AI and any ideas he has on making a Scout. The same thing was done for Nymphadora Tonks because you wanted to know what she has been doing, and what she knows on military practices. It took a while to learn how to infiltrate her mind but with the number of people around us with shields to test I was able to try out different combinations during the bi-weekly meetings you have with her. Each attempt was stopped as soon as a possible intrusion attempt would be detected. Such knowledge was shared with Halley Snows 9 tailed fox for inspirations and collaborative work."
Fuck fuck fuck this is getting a bit scary. Add to it working with Halley's guardian also and I am scared what will come from this. At least I know both guardians are guardians and have been made sure not to take over and are just here for help. I guess that I gave it to much leeway when it came to others when I created it, but why would it only work with Halley?
"Why is it that you only worked with Halley's guardian?"
"She is the one you trust the most and is always with you, is she not? Why should I not consult with her guardian and make us both more effective in our responsibility?"
Is this the way my subconscious really see's Halley? Even though I love all three of them I guess there is always one you put above the others, no matter if you want to admit it or not. Add in the fact she is always there helping me with the company and her using the maids as administrators, and not wasting their time just pointlessly cleaning and I guess it's true. For all intent and purposes I loved Halley and she was my best friend and confidant. Hell I have told her my plans for the company and our people that work for me along with everything else once it was proven I could access different worlds. If that wasn't possible I wouldn't have to rush in telling her every one of my plans because it would take much longer to accomplish. In my mind my goal was to become so completely independent from earth that if the humans who lived on it did something so stupid the company I created with all its workers would be able to survive in space. That was my end goal and what I was working towards with all my research and food production. If I can get into space and sustain it I will never have to fear earth politics and war.
"Can you show me the information you have taken from Deon Wilson and anyone else who works here?"
"Certainly creator."
And with that I spent the next week constantly in my mind, after using a time turner so it didn't affect anything in my life. It took me forever of constant reading and Deon Wilson's "notes" he had created to understand the architecture of the core of an AI. After all that was done I apparated back into the shop they were using and a few aloha moras and I had the USB attachment ready to be copied on the outside to look the same. Until I found a way to copy this way I would leave a fake in its place to be discovered to have fried its self. Obviously this wouldn't be the only one it would just be the one available. There is no way there could be no other case because if there was any damage at any time the company would go under.
Finally after 3 weeks of waiting I got a call from Ms. Bradley telling she would be expecting a shipping container containing the specified amount dropped off at the company in 4 days. She then told me that the startup equipment along with 10 scouts in black along with the changes I wanted done to them will be ready to pickup in 2 shipping containers in 3 months' time. The farming and areal units will be ready in under a year of 5 each and another Ton of gold will supply me with 20 each. I knew she was ripping me off because I would be paying 1million a robot but I didn't care. It took me know effort in getting the gold ready, what took more time was getting a shipping container and truck to haul it there.
After all of this was done I gave my phone over to one of my people to check once a day if anything happened and went to my lab, I had created in Antarctica. There I had my version of a "replicator" that I first created that no one will use but me and I made some adjustments to it to change from replicating to repairing using materials supplied and the object to repair. This was done so I could put in a scout robot that was trashed to shit and with all its parts along with spare material, it would use what is necessary to repair it. Luckily the CPU and hard drive were still intact because the software would probably be messed up and need a fresh reload that I don't have.
After all this was accomplished I had 3 perfect scouts ready to receive orders as soon as I popped in new deuterium batteries. In everything that I got from that world these where the game breakers. The reason for this is because with these batteries the scout could run for 72 hours before replacement or recharging. If I was to put in lithium batteries of the same size the scout would run for 40min before exhausting it. And if I didn't want to use batteries that used deuterium I could make a portal with electrical connections that will supply power for as long as needed. This would make it so no one got this technology. If these batteries got out it could do a lot of good but at the same time a lot of damage from the military creating Mech Worriers or Ironman suits.
Because of this I will only use these batteries out of this planet or on another world where the draw from having a portal access it is far too great, hens the reason for only one connection at a time because of the draw from the sapphire core in the sub is a little less then what is being charged and transferred to the core. I don't want to add a strain to the planets magic because nothing else I have is using this much magic. Also I don't want to close the portal in case it can't reconnect so until I have got everything I need from this universe I will leave this door open with people coming and going and not opening any other connection to another world. I will do one at a time and not get greedy, because I am immortal in age if I want to be and I can do things right and not rush things. If for any reason a world war 3 happens or any plagues then I will take stupid risks but till then slow and safe is the name of the game.
I then started to take apart one of the robots and to plug in the USB key into it and plug it into a high end laptop from the other world. I copied the memory of it and went over everything and started to try and understand it. It took about a month to feel ready to modify and test the changes I want to do to the scouts. What I want changed is, I am going to rip out any wireless outbound signals or incoming. The only thing inbound and outbound will be encrypted radio signals so they could communicate to any humans on their teams.
I plan to make a portal for the communications cables and another that will be put into a fake battery container so that if needs be I can kill both remotely if they are ever compromised. I had power to spare with the amount of water powered generators installed in Antarctica.
During the month of me working on it (using a time turner so I could keep my regular schedule) I had Halley with me and our guardians and we were exchanging information and she helped me with needed changes and ideas. After it was tossed in my face, I let everything go around Halley and told her my plans with the creation of the farming bots. I let her know that I planned to create fields and fields under the mountains in Antarctica for farming of everything along with possible meat animals. With all the crazy things done to food, I plan to make my own crops to keep my people healthy with food they can trust.
After I figured out how I was going to create fish farms that didn't need me to add fish oils to make it so the new fish have it. The main issue will be making a portal that can have constant fresh plankton and everything else the ocean naturally produces to give perfect fish.
All this will depend on Tetravaal and their ability to make farmer bots for me. If they can do this great if not I will just have to wait. In my mind the elves were to useful to just waste on farming normal crops. I can have them help retrieve and monitor the farmers but that will be all, and I only need a few to be able to do that.
Back in the home universe everything was going nicely and I even had a bro night with Harry. He had turned into your quintessential beach bum with Sirius. During that night he told me about him actually getting an architect degree and he was now looking to start his own business like I did. I congratulated him because we never talked about work and school, all we did together was relax and just have mindless fun so we could just get away from everything. For Harry's part he just wanted to make up for all the time he missed out on actually having a real friend, who didn't want him for something and just relax like he should have for most of his life.
He then told me Moony had tracked them down, even though he was not really hiding right now. Magical England has gotten even worse for anyone with creature blood and was wondering if he could stay. At that point Sirius lost it because after all this time with harry he had learned what his life was like, and how moody had done nothing for him or even checked on him, let alone talked to him after he left school or told him about his parents. The more he ranted the worse it got to the point that he told Moony if he ever saw him again he would kill him. After that Sirius proceeded to get drunk off his ass for 3 days, he dragged harry with him so he barely remembers what happened. All the while he was telling me this I felt no sympathy for the emo werewolf. Because he was offered all sorts of help but always turned it down, and then never left and found somewhere else to live. He decided to stay in a country that will always look down on him along with its fantastic weather, when he could have used his magic to live on an island anywhere happily and taken harry with him. It is just pathetic, I'm surprized he doesn't wear eye liner, and dress all in black.
Things with Hermione had progressed a great deal with her research. After she had cloned the dinosaurs she made a couple of different herbivores to try out. I even asked if I could try one of each as dinner for us and she agreed I could take one of each to see if we could use them as meat animals. It turned out that all were gamey other than the Parasaurolophus and I can only ascribe that to eating a lot of water plants and crustaceans. It ended up tasting like tuna believe it or not, so I asked if she could make a mating pair and make a decent population in a sub so we could have more of it without her having to clone more. She agreed because she loved the taste of it also. The other dinosaurs will all be transferred together to live out their lives, and only population control if needed. They don't deserve to die just because I don't find a use for them.
When she finally started on magical animals she did the one that was the easiest to accomplish in her mind with bird eggs as incubators. She ended up cloning a single female phoenix, because in Hermione's words there aren't enough of them around because there are only 2 she knows of. So with that Hermione had the first ever phoenix chick. Noir was not happy with this in the beginning but eventually just accepted the other animal that would always be around. With the success of the first one Hermione made a full dozen more and gave us each one, and to some of her researchers to raise. When the chicks got older we planned to use our Animagus forms to show them how to fly, it will be very interesting when that happens. As of right now they are still in eggs that Hermione has charmed to stay a certain temperature and told us to always keep with us, so when they hatch they can imprint on us.
With the other animals she wants to clone, she is going to use the closest analogs womb to birth it. She has to do this because she can't get a mammal to hatch out of an egg, and artificial implantation in a farm animal will be best for a workable womb to carry it to term.
Speaking of out Animagus forms we each ended up with a new one last year to add to our bird form. Hermione got the form of a house cat, Luna ended up being a kangaroo and me and Halley ended up with the same one. This lead to my belief that since we were together more than the other girls, ours tried to complement each other. We ended up becoming honey badgers. As soon as I figured out what I was I could not stop laughing. In all my time thinking of the funniest animal to become since internet memes the honey badger always came up and now I'm one. I hope I get another form but this one took many years to show its head I don't know how long the next one will take.
With regards to the magical ministry of Australia it wasn't as big as I thought and there are only about 10,000 magicals registered in Australia. They do have a system setup just like the British, because I believe they were the angry few who left to Australia and made their own system where they were in charge. Ah the joy of the hypocrisy. They are not as bad as the British when it comes to muggle borns but they have made themselves more out of the way of the mundane's unlike the brits. The magical Australian ministry is located about 500km west of Brisbane in a stretch of area where no one is located. So at least they are smart in that one regard. There one magical school is located just 5km south of that and is warded to be unseen by mundane's, along with the fact that all students flow in for classes and it's not a boarding school.
What I have been doing since most if not all magicals live on the eastern side of Australia is have them ignoring anything to doing with the west and just to leave everything alone since I won't bother them. The companies I have in the east do not use that much magic so it's barely noticeable, and I have other people bribed for them to just ignore it unless there is a major magical incident they are happy to take my money and do less work. The world of politics truly runs on money and you can get anything done with it. As for schooling I have checked and no one is required to go to school as long as its proven they are getting magical education in some way and they have to pass Australia's version of O.W.L's.
With all that settled I have had my people make a book of names and tied it into the lay lines in japan and pacific islands so it covers it all. I asked for this because there was no ministry there I wanted to see if there was any magical in the country that I could snatch up and get them to work for me. As it turned out there where some magicals in the country and when each one was looked up using there address and name in an internet search we found ages from 82 and down. With children we physically had to go see who lived at the address because there was no way to discover them otherwise. We found 20 kids from 8-13 that we are tempted to go and talk to. But first we will do a back ground check on them to see what their home and financial situation is like. I find it easier to relocate people who are having issues much easier than people who have a good life. It's not as if I need to go out of my way to get them but I want a more diverse magical gene pool to work from when I do blood adoptions for the mundane's I hope to introduce to magic.
With the back ground checks done I found 10 families with 12 kids that where living in situations that are below the standard of living in that area. I wanted to see if they would be willing to move to Australia and have their kids go to school there and get magical tutoring in the afternoons. The only thing I would ask is that they come work for me for 5 years after they graduate high school, or if they want to go to university and don't have the money I can do the same scholarship program. Their parents will be found decent jobs within umbrella for whatever they are qualified for.
After this was done and I sent people to introduce them into our world. I returned to checking over all my businesses and projects. I spend a lot of time helping plan and build underground at the Umbrella Works facility. While I was working underground and trying to create giant area's underneath as hangers to hold hundreds of planes and vehicles (plan for the future) up top 2 big hangers where being installed that will have a lift that lifts and lowers planes from bellow. Along with that 4 runways that can handle anything going in each cardinal direction where laid down on top of desert floor that had turned into 4 feet of granite. At the same time the hangers where going up a control tower was also going up that can hold all the traffic that it will be in charge off. Also 3 different frequency radars have been bought from an arms manufacture from the other world, they were brought here and they can even see an F-117A if one was in our air space.

It's coming up to 1 year and a month and Tatravaal finally told us our order was ready for pick up. When I came to pick up the shipping containers no one was there to greet me only a guard at the gate. I had pulled up in a truck that could haul the container I was expecting. All that was said to me was were the container was, once I said my name. The issue was when I came to the spot to grab the container, it was actually 5 containers not just one. This meant I had to take 5 trips to take it all to a warehouse I had rented out. From there I port keyed them to a fidelius warehouse that wasn't being used, so we wouldn't be disturbed. At that point a vast crew of my people broke the containers down and scanned for anything that could be trying to relay our position or spy on us.
When everything was pulled apart and it was clear they didn't try anything (not like we won't check every time.) everything got plugged into laptops and there programing copied in case anything happened during transport and shrinking, because some things are too big for the portal.
In the first container was all the equipment they gave us so we could receive signals from the droids to monitor and send commands as a central dispatch center. That center was human controlled right now and not AI to keep the human factor involved and in case of a rouge AI taking control of all of it. There were even screens that were 164" for showing what's going on that whereas light at a typical 32" LCD that my home world produces. Along with all that there were 2 towers of servers to handles all the processing that will be required and saving all visual information and scans for a 1 month backup of 50 units.
The second container was full of 1 physical manual for everything we got along, with a stack of drives what contain the same information along with more details that I might want.
The third container had both the new version of the scout and the farmers in it. They were all nicely folded up to take the least room. This was done to allow all sorts of attachments that can be attached to the second pair of arms they added to the robots. This would apparently let them work more efficiently and have options to have hands that are softer and have gentler handling the animals if need be. With the addition of the second set of arms the robot was a ¼ taller to allow all the space needed for this and they were painted john deer green as a joke I think but I like the color.
The forth container had 2 MOOSE units along with the control chair and helmets for both. These units had their legs removed to make it possible to put them in so they couldn't walk out on their own, but that was no issue. Along with that there was ordinance for them stacked in the back just as I wanted. I can't believe I got decent military ordinance this easy, and I can copy it all.
And finally in the last container where 2 aerial units that had their wings and rotor blades removed. To get an idea of what they look like they look like the WASP 2.0 by pjacubinas I saw on the net. The only difference is that they have a counter rotating blades on top so it doesn't spin the unit around and doesn't need a tail rotor. This also had the same ordinance as the MOOSE stored in there, along with ammunition for the forward machine gun. I will be very happy to copy the forward mounted visual system because I am sure it's more than just a FLIR system with the amount of electronics this universe can put into a small area.
This was not the amount of units that I requested but I can only guess they ended up a bigger size. I don't care because I got what I wanted and anything else is just gravy. Hell I might even make some farmers into scouts v2 to make them more versatile.
After seeing all this I am going to have to do another run around to grab more interesting stuff. I will even put up a fantasy shopping list for the Umbrella Works in the lunch room. Because even with me thinking about things along with Halley I know we will forget about something and the time is getting close to when things might go pear shaped in this world. There have already been signs since I have had Deon Wilson's house watched that multiple people are breaking into his place and copying everything on this computer. They all do it at different times and have different ethnicities, in a way it looks like there from different places but have come to a mutual understanding that no one is to interfere with each other, there by letting Deon Wilson knowing something going on. Right there has be worried about when we finally gets the AI program done because Skynet could happen with any of those agency's teaching the young AI horrible things. I am tempted to say "fuck it" and let it all go to shit but I know it will happen anyway so I will have to come up with my own AI that can act as a guardian against nasty AI's that will destroy my world. Also I want that conscious transfer technology and I think it takes an AI to make the leap of logic to get it to work.
During the time waiting for me to get the units the Umbrella Works facility was made, along with giving blood adoption potions to everyone and getting oaths. During all that time I had actually added a lot of planes in the underground hanger. All these planes have been bought from the other world from an arms dealer along with ones that should have gone to the airplane grave yard. All manuals and equipment and training videos have been included also, and my people have been going over them and looking for ideas on how they are made and other things. Plus I just wanted them because they are cool and they cost me nothing in reality. The best thing I got was 5 Bell V-280 Valor tilt rotor planes that had been available for 5 years there as "civilian" versions. Along with the planes, 100 copies of every version of modern guns was bought. There are some that are a favorite of people in that world that haven't been made here. Those guns have been torn apart and the process to make them has been reviewed and made. We are currently starting up an add campaign and have applied to military review of the pistols and rifles. The anti-material rifle seen taking out the MOOSE will be kept in-house because I don't want something that good on the market to our enemies.
Also in reference to the 3 bots I started out with I have another 90 scouts from being crushed. Some of those 90 have been torn apart looked for vulnerabilities and worked on to be made from police model to military ready. It might not seem like a difference when you take into account we need to keep weight down so it can still jump from the ground to the top of a shipping container, but it was more along the lines of holders for grenades and other field needed supply's along with painting it flat black and some more angled armor to deflect bullets unlike the flat surfaces the scout has.
My guys have also torn apart some and built a robot the shape of ravage from the transformers movie. The thing looks deadly as hell and I don't want to be on the receiving end. It was just as the movie version but mine couldn't hide the guns on its back. They could only be lowered from there tilt and retracting position to sit tightly on its back. With the scouts, moose, the areal unit called "wasp" and the ravage unit would keep my place nice and safe with all the visual spectrums they can scan and all the other scanning they could do.
We also found the composition of the metal that was used to make most of the robot out of that wasn't so heavy that it is hard to move. aslo it had to be strong enough to handle regular rifle ammo being fired at it. the metal ended up being a blend of steel with major parts titanium instead of iron. The only name we can think of that doesn't sound pretentious is scout steel. This at least lets us remember where it came from. Luckily the composition of it was in a materials science book from MIT as it needed to be used in servos that powered the scouts movement with high torque output. In the end this wasn't some mystery steel it was just that versions high great metal that was used for strength and durability. A number of other materials was listed in the book and will be looked into.

After that it's been another year and with another 6 tons of gold delivered I have received much more units and ordinance. I have even managed to copy every scrap of information from the layout of the machines that make them to word processors they use on their computers. In reality I can make a duplicate of their company at any point. It's amazing what a team of disillusioned wizards can do when given time.
It's sad that this has to come to an end because I have just received notice that unit 22 has just taken an RPG to the chest. As soon as this happened I had Tonks team that was on standby to be ready for anything that will happen. I had not told her anything but I needed the lead programmer watched and nothing was to be done or interfered if something happened to him. Just watch at relay what is happening. She was not happy with this but she did as she was told.
Later that night I was notified that Deon stayed up all night and didn't get to sleep. When he left I had my team go in and copy everything they could off his computer before the other agencies came so we were guaranteed a perfect copy of what was there. as they did this 3 men broke off and followed Deon to work. When they followed him around it was relayed back about the entire nervous attitude he had along with him stealing parts of scout unit 022. As he was heading out, the units got on their brooms to follow him where he was going with the robot he was stopped and abducted.
My team wanted to interfere but I told them as long as he wasn't shot then to do nothing. They then told me he was being told to create a scout for them to do their dirty work by a bunch of retards that paint there weapons bright colors. They couldn't stop grumbling about this because it was a neon sign that said shoot me and you wouldn't be able to hide them when sneaking around.
The entire movie was played out the same along with him coming up with the helmet conscious copying program. When that happened I had them copy everything along with anything he did to the helmet as they watched him the entire time.
The team was not happy to be told to not interfere with everything that happen but I guess they were interested in what I was doing with everything I was copying and where getting some ideas. Finally when Chappie transferred Deon into a robot body and had himself moved to a new one, did I change things up from the movie.
The part I changed was that as the doors where opening and Deon was making his escape I spelled the doors closed again and locked it. As soon as the doors where closed I had everyone there take anything useful and put it into trunks that where on them. I don't want them figuring out how to move a consciousness from humans to robots easily I want them to work on that themselves. Because of this everything in that room from the servers, the helmet to the MOOSE control chair used was stored away. We left the body of Deon and Chappie, but everything else other than that was taken.
Now with this done I even had them go to the manufacturing plant to take any units that where assembled that haven't been deployed and take them also. The reason I am doing this is because I am sure everything will be destroyed because of public outcry and I can use it if they don't. Waste not want not is a good saying right now. Hell I even got 60 units of farmers and wasps that they had ready to sell me.
As so as everything was back, I had everything electronic we had ever bough removed from that universe along with from the sub on the connecting side of the portal. I won't let a stray signal from this world transfer and AI over to mine. I still kept a few laptops and TV's in the Chappie universes side to monitor the news but I didn't let anyone leave the warehouse we were using to go outside.
This turned out to be a very good idea, because within 24h of Chappie being proven to be a rouge intelligent AI with loyalties to know one all hell broke loose. Many people were saying it was the end of times and there was a mass riot in front of any company that was associated with robot and AI manufacturing. It didn't help the fact that there was 2 more units running around and people were thinking it was reproducing. As soon as this was brought up the United States launched a nuclear missile into space to detonate an EMP above Johannesburg. After that the Russians felt that wasn't enough and all of Africa was blasted by EMP's. At no point where any countries targeted with real strikes thank god. The whole world was so scared that no one wanted to risk this from spreading.
The issue with this happening is that the world is so populated there is no way for people to forage for food, so many people in Africa where turning into looters for food and killing people for it. After a month nothing was done still because anything airlifted in was taken and the suppliers where shot at. This whole thing was just getting worse.
At this point I just wrote this world off after telling my people to set up a large amount of explosives in the warehouse. The timer for the explosives was set for 1 hour, and when I left I made it so the access door could be destroyed by the explosion. When I stepped through to the other side and into my original world I had the portal shut down. I then told them to open it up again after 10 minutes. When it was tried there was no connection made so that proves the idea that if we ever close a connection as of right now we are no long able to get back to the world we connected to. That is why I set the timers for 1h just in case I can't get back after closing the connection so everything there will be destroyed.
I am tempted to try another world right now, but I am first going to go see on the consciousness transfer equipment that my people have set up over the month. The thing that I realised is that the girl that got her mind copied didn't lose it from her original body but Deon did. With that I had them going over all the code and everything else to find out why.
When I made it to my special projects room Halley was already there waiting for me to brief me when I came in.
"Mark do you want to know what we have discovered now or later."
"Now would be good. So tell me what I want to know."
"As you guessed, the 2 processes to copying and moving programs where different. The copying take a lot longer to happen because it needs to scan everything but the transfer is almost immediate because it is ripping out your consciousness somehow and moving it into electronic format, a computer can understand. So that means 5min for a copy or immediate but say goodbye to that body because the brain will get fried at the same time, no idea with our regeneration if it's the same for us. The coding for this is very complex because it is nothing short of ground breaking in the way it converts it into a language that an electronic processor can handle and you will understand. There is no way anyone of us could have thought this up within the next century without a team and extreme understanding of the brain."
"Guess I got the 2 miracle inventions of that world, consciousness transfer and AI programing. Doubt there was a third to get there. Has it been tested yet?"
"Nothing has been tested yet because no one wants a copy of themselves running around."
"Not even you?"
"Well it had occurred to me that it would help you a lot but I know if I did this you would want to also. That's why I waited for you."
"Well then its settled Halley let's start this up and copy my brain to a scout and see what happens."
With that said it was just me and Halley in there so no one else was involved as of now. She showed me how to do both versions along with the wall that had 10 units ready to receive minds all different colors. I picked the black one with blue highlights and had my mind copied over. The entire time I felt nothing happening with the helmet on. Finally when it was done me2 stepped out of the wall and spoke.
"Holey shit! It worked! Hey there original mark, it actually worked I am thinking I am actually you. The only reason I don't is because I know what happened. Holey shit I can't get over this. You have to let me try what we thought of before."
"That's great Mark2 I can't wait to see what happens when we do this."
"Mark what are you two talking about?"
"Well Halley since we are scared shitless about making an AI and thinking that it would turn on us what should we do. That's simple we will make a copy of ourselves into an AI because we can trust ourselves to keep the original safe because we are the same."
"Mark can I ask for a favour, before you do this?"
"Sure Halley whatever you want."
"I want to join Mark2 and create a Halley2 to accompany him in this new world that he is going to discover."
I look over to my robot self and he shrugs his shoulders so we do that and now we have a red unit with white highlights. These units have access ports built into the rear of them almost like Borg so they can connect to a server and try it out while still having a body in case they need to do something or to escape. Because of this, the room we are in is only accessible by me or Halley and our robot selves.
After they connect to the server and disconnect they let us know what it's as if there thinking has sped up. They can feel all the possible connections that the server they are connecting to can access. They even can feel and communicate on a level they don't understand with each other in the server.
I ask if they can use magic in there robot bodies and they say no I then ask if they can go into their mind scape and after a while they let me know they can't do that either but still remember everything we knew from our time of separation. I asked them to play around with everything before connecting to the net and our main servers and see if they could create bot programs or anything else they could think of. They told me no problem and they will get back to me and both of them reconnected to the server.
I'm glad that Halley asked for that because now the other me has his best friend and confidant with him in virtual life. And with the two of them together they don't need to worry about an attack from an AI because they have the other people to help out if that happens. Add to the fact that I plan to make the biggest super computer to run everything in Antarctica that I will always try to keep ahead of anything else on this world and they should always have the upper hand on a burgeoning Skynet. Hell with all that processing power they might be able to help come up with things that we won't.
With that done me and Halley leave the room go and check everything else out at Umbrella Works because they have so many new toys to play with along with the company version of my replicator.

Next chapter will be on what has happened with the technology he has gotten a hold of, and about a year later, till he gets to try the universe roulette again. I won't show the life of mark and Halley mk2 because that would take a whole different story to tell there's especially how they would have to work to make umbrella better and expand and create their own AI life and maybe society. So just assume for now he has an AI that won't go rouge and try and kill him to help him and is only limited by speed of the CPU's in use and storage compared to rival programs.
