Answer to reviews
Blackholelord: Thank you for your support but I felt like this would be the best time to have the Federation entrance. You also need to check some of your facts. Quantum Torpedoes don't have Zero Point energy warheads, but instead have plasma warheads (Taken from Alpha Memory). But it would have been cool if that were the case. I actually agree with you about the Federation being more advanced but weaker in some areas and I will try to show that better.
Ajor Simi: You are correct and I apologise for my mistake. SG-1 were introduced to Trinium by the tribe on PXY- 887 in the episode "SG1: Spirits" and then later the Tollan help the SGC improve their refinement techniques.
EVERYONE ELSE: Thanks for all the kind words and support, but don't forget to review negatively to help me improve my writing and increase your entertainment.
Sorry for such a late update. I've been so swamped and only been able to write in the early hours of the morning. Meaning that I haven't been getting much sleep. So go easy if it's not that good. I frequently update my profile about my work and please check out my recently published story Stargate: Return of the Old Ones.
Hope you enjoy the Chapter and don't forget to R&R. Feel free to PM me with any questions or ideas you have. - Spearhead

Picard and O'Neill had been sat in the conference room waiting to hear the Tollan reply for what felt like days. In fact it had only been roughly two hours. Jack hated politics. He longed for the days he would walk through the gate and find himself in a hostile condition to fight his way out of. Although whenever he was in such a position he had always wished for a desk job. As Jack checked his watch the doors to the conference slid open to reveal Narim once again.
The Tollan leader walks to the end of the table closest to the door and looks at the two men. Jack was sure he would never get used to Narim's scar.
"The Tollan fleet commanders held a quick vote. In a unanimous vote, the Tollan commanders have decided to land their ships whenever possible and to integrate our two peoples. The Tollan will join your Federation." Narim nods looking somewhat relieved and defeated at the same time.
"That is excellent news. You understand that this means the 'military' you have has to be disbanded or merged with Starfleet. Also the Gou'ld vessels will now become the property of Starfleet and any technology you still possess will be given to the Scientific Academy for study. Members of the Tollan can join Starfleet at any point after training, they can work to maintain the Colony or they can become industrial workers. Doing nothing is not an option. As a result of this they will have full access to Federation Civilian technologies and are held to our laws." Picard basically puts the treaty into note form verbally while handing Narim a data pad to sign.
"Of course." Narim nods reading through the treaty.
"You will still be able to form a government for your people and an ambassador will be required to be a liaison between our two people." Picard smiles looking at the General.
"Yes, that won't be a problem." Narim nods still reading the small treaty.
"Well then, where's the cake?" Jack rubs his hands together and causes Jean Luc to smile.
Terra Orbit, Tollan Ha'tak 'Tollan Vengeance'

Travell was furious. The ship commanders had just placed an order that made her temper flare. they had all voted to merge the Tollan people with this Federation. As she continued to read the notification on the fleet wide information network. The former Tollan leader turned around to face several other angered Tollan.
"I knew Narim was friendly with other races, but to merge our people with strangers is too far. If we go through with this, we will lose all that makes us Tollan. I did what I had to in order to protect the Tollan people. He is doing this to gain favour with the people of Earth." Travell almost shouts with venom.
"Does he expect us to follow his lead?" One of the hooded Tollan asks.
"No! He'll get the Earth soldiers to force it upon us!" Another replies in anger.
"This can't be allowed!" A hooded women shouts.
"They are not the Curia!" Another man spits.
"No, they are not. Non of them are elected to their roles. They created them." An unseen women shouts from within the gathered group.
"The time is fast approaching that the true Tollan government to return to power and lead through wisdom!" Travell shouts to her small band of followers. The men and women begin to chant 'Curia' and Travell smiles as her dream of regaining control comes closer.
Terra, Terra Nova, Defence command building, Conference room 1
21st January 2004
11:05 hours
Captain Phillips of the Rhode Island and Captain David Lawson of the Endeavour were both sat in the main conference room. The Rhode Island had returned two hours ago from its exploration of their new solar system in search of raw materials close to home. Mining ships were already busy hollowing out material rich asteroids with transporters. While the Endeavour had remained in orbit of Terra and since the battle was being repaired by several teams of Tollan/Federation Engineers. During the battle the Endeavour took most of the hits from the Lucian Alliance while the Enterprise managed to emerge with a few bumps and bruises.
David was glad that the Tollan were joining the fledging Federation. It would mean they would have more man power at hand. Now they could start building new hybrid ships with Federation and Gou'ld technology. With Gou'ld hyper drive engines, Plasma based Staff cannons, Naquadah generators and hybrid shields, the Federation would soon begin adapting to this new universe. The best thing about the hyper drives was the fact that it made Warp travel obsolete and was faster. Of course Warp engines would never be obsolete. Miners, Cargo haulers and Patrol vessels would always use this FTL-travel as it was cheaper to recreate compared to the hyper drive engines.
With the prospect of hyper drives, it no longer meant that their ships needed Warp nacelles, no longer needed to be designed with the stresses of Warp in mind, they no longer needed massive supplies of deuterium for long assignments and they sure as hell didn't need the worry of finding new sources of deuterium for their ships.
Naquadah was easily synthesisable so they didn't need to worry about protecting mining outposts all over the galaxy. All they needed was their good, old deuterium to fuel the Matter/Anti-Matter reactors that would power the synthesisers and Terra consisted of 47% ocean so deuterium was easily acquired. Jean Luc appears in the door way with Narim and General O'Neill. The three leaders sit down and join the captains.
"Captain Phillips, Captain Lawson, I'd like you to meet Narim, leader of the Tollan people." The Admiral indicates to the worn man.
"Captains." Narim bows his head slightly in respect. The two captains nod in return, unsure what to call Narim.
"Lets get to it. Recently I've been hesitant to allow Earth to our more advanced technologies. But with the recommendation of the Asgard and Narim, I've decided to allow them access to early Starfleet technologies. They already have technical blue prints on Phase weaponry and have even managed to successfully build several Phase Cannons with assistance from the Asgard. I'm now allowing them full access to the technologies of the NX-01 Enterprise." Picard says looking around the rectangle table of which he sat at the head. The Admiral let slip a smile at the shock on Jack's face.
"Admiral, is that wise?" Phillips asks almost objecting to his plans.
"They have the recommendation of the Asgard, by extension the Tollan and I believe that they are more like us that we'd care to admit." Picard nods confirming.
"Yes Admiral." Phillips nods. 'They don't deserve it!' Stewart hears himself shout in his mind. His illness was progressing rapidly and a lot faster than his EMH had predicted.
"Good. What remains of the Tollan science division will be added to the Science Academy to help us study each others technologies." Picard nods the Narim.
"There are a few among us that still have scientific knowledge. However I fear that the majority of our science and technologies are lost to us for the time being." Narim informs them all.
"We will be taking care of that problem." Picard nods looking at O'Neill.
"The Prometheus will head to Tollana to try and locate any technology including memory cores while searching for any remaining Tollan on the surface. With your consent of course. " Jack looks to Narim.
"I see no problem with that. If any memory drives survived, as part of the lockdown procedure, they will automatically encrypt its stored data. Only a government official has the needed code to unlock the files. Luckily, I still remember mine." Narim nods.
"As of next week the members of the Tollan military that have signed on with Starfleet will begin their training aboard the Endeavour. This training will consist of Holo-deck simulations of exercise scenarios and classroom lessons." Picard looks to Narim and then to Lawson.
"My people are enthusiastic to begin." Narim nods his head.
"My Junior Officers have already received their new duties and can't wait to get stuck in." David smiles.
"Good to hear." Jean Luc replies looking at the next thing on his data pad.
"Several Tollan have opted for retirement from the Military but have requested positions aboard the Mining and Cargo fleets that will soon begin taking shape." Picard looks to Stewart.
"Of course sir. The captain of the Mining ship 'Miner' has offered to take several Tollan as his 'apprentices' after they've completed Holo-deck training while the captain of the 'Maxtor' has refused saying he didn't have time to train 'rookies'." Phillips briefs the Admiral.
"That is fine, for now. The Miner will just have to do. The Tollan wanting to join the Mining fleet will begin Holo-deck training here in Defence Command leaving the rest of the Endeavour's Holo-decks free for crew use." Picard nods marking that off his short list.
"Is there anything else?" Picard looks up at the men around the table. Non of them say anything or hint at wanting to speak.
"Okay then, we'll meet again next week unless another major crisis hits." Jean Luc jokes getting up and leaving the room. No one in the room found it particularly funny as it wouldn't surprise them if another big crisis did come about.

It had been two days since the meeting and ever since then the voice in Stewarts head had become louder almost as if pushing its way forwards through a crowd. His disease had become more and more rapid in it's growth. His dreams were filled with flames, screams and death. He had flashes of great space battles between Federation and Gou'ld ships as if a Civil war had broken out and each side had joined forces with their comrades. Ha'tak and Al'kesh supporting Sovereign class, Galaxy class and Intrepid class star ships. Each side were evenly matched in numbers, but they fought and fought hard.
Stewart would wake covered in sweat and having to breath deeply for the first few seconds of his awakening. He'd never had trouble sleeping before and he was finding it tiring. He'd just put it down to the stress of building a new Federation from scratch. Steward had guessed that this is how Captain Archer had felt in his last year in command of the NX-01 Enterprise.
Stewart had already quickly adapted to the Tollan being part of the Federation and part of the Terra Nova Colony. They were a calm and advanced people, much like the humans of the Federation. They preferred to solve their problems through diplomacy rather than brute force. But Captain Phillips didn't mind using the preverbal stick to defend himself and his crew.
Earth, SGC, Control room
23rd January 2004

There was a huge worry as an unscheduled dial-in had begun. Defence teams flooded into the gate room with their various weapons pointed at the dialling gate. Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter is sat in the control room at one of the computer work stations. She'd been at that terminal for most of the day. As the last chevron locked, the gate activated. With the iris already closed, the famous 'kawoosh' was held behind the Titanium/Trinium iris. Within seconds of the gate activating, it suddenly shut down.
Walter notices that the Colonel was busy 'un-zipping' a file at her workstation.
"Who's it from?" Walter asks controlling the habit of leaning over and looking for himself.
"It's from Atlantis." Sam says in complete surprise. Walter was completely shocked. There had been no word from the Atlantis Expedition in the entire year since it's inception. Samantha quickly stands up and almost runs up the stairs to General O'Neill after reading a single page. Walter leans over to take a look.
When the Colonel reaches the top of the stairs, Jack was with Admiral Picard listening to a presentation on the Daedalus and her sister ship the Odyssey. There were plans to expand the X-304 Deep Space Battle Carrier into an entire class of Earth star ship. The Daedalus and Odyssey were identical right down to the last bulkhead. They both boasted advanced Asgard technology coupled with Earth and Federation systems. They even included Synthesisers in the mess hall and an industrial sized Synthesiser big enough to create anything from replacement weapon pods to hull plating. Of course the Daedalus and Odyssey also carried more 'Pulsed Phase Cannons' (Phase Cannons) than the Prometheus. The Prometheus has a single cannon on its forward firing arc, while the X-304's can carry two forward cannons and two rear cannons that can rotate 360 degrees. The X-304 class were also fitted with two forward and one rear Photonic Torpedo launchers.
Even Samantha was impressed at how deadly the computer simulations had estimated these weapon systems that were powered by Naquadah reactors would be. As well as limited military hardware, the 'Feds' (As they'd been dubbed by everyone in the SGC) had helped upgrade computer systems, life support and tweaked the sensors for more detailed spatial reading.
"Carter?" Jack's voice snaps her out of her thought.
"Sir, we just got a message from Atlantis." Sam says using her thumb to point behind her.
"What did it say?" O'Neill asks.
"Well, I don't know sir." The Colonel admits.
"You don't know?" Jack asks confused slightly.
"Well, it's a compact file. It had hours of video as well as pages of text." Sam explains.
"Well, what does it say?" Picard butts in.
"They're in trouble sirs." Sam nods.
It took them another hour to brief Picard and come up with a solution to the problem. The Daedalus and Odyssey were just running trials on their completed systems. The Daedalus and Odyssey would use the recently discovered ZPM to travel to Pegasus in the next three days after a military contingent had been sent through the gate. The military contingent would have an elite Federation squad with Federation Engineers that would begin installing various defensive technologies to Atlantis. Atlantis would be defended as best as the extra galactic outpost could be. Picard had even managed to secure the promise of a permanent Federation presence in Atlantis as part of the defence deal. The rescue operation would be sent to Atlantis as soon as they could gather together the necessary resources.
There you go a short chapter, but I don't want to give too much away. This is the last update for 2011. I will be updating both 'Trek through the Stargate' and 'Stargate: Return of the Old Ones' early in the new year. Please R&R both of my fics and I'll reply to any questions in the next update. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Thanks for all the support. - Spearhead
