AN: Sorry bout the wait had no motivation to continue after reading the piece of crap I called a first chapter but I guess live and learn, so I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I'll try to update quicker next time.
Where am I?
I don't even know, seems like stasis considering I'm in a pod but why, what about Atlantis and the war what happened?
All these questions running through my head and I don't even know where I am, such a pathetic excuse for a captain.
I suppose I'm on my ship, The Fanatus, and we must have lost our last battle considering the stasis predicament.
After 5 minutes of waiting the pod finally opens allowing me to get to the bridge, after 10 minutes of briskly walking considering the transporters seem down I arrive at the bridge.
Aside from a little damage it seems mostly intact except for the burnt terminals and a few tossed chairs.
I sit in my control chair and try to interface into the ships computer and what I find is astonishing, after our last battle with the wraith in which we lost we were able to repair weapons and ship wide circuits enough to fire a few shots of the experimental radiation beam at the device the wraith left behind to destroy the sun of this solar system.
After a quick analysis of the battle I start looking over ship for damage and it seems it is abundant. Weapons, hyper drives, shields, sub lights and most energy distribution are all down not to mention the massive hole in the bottom of the ship or the lack of power from the main generator.
It seems after 10000 years the Potentia that we used to power the weapon for a single shot at the wraith bomb was the only thing powering the 472 pods that I and my crew were lying dormant in has depleted to under a third of its total power.
It also seems that the enhanced energy flow kept our cells from deteriorating from the stasis, I hate to think what would of become of us had the pods been operating of their internal energy from the lack of a source of power from the ship itself, we would probably look 100 and be unable to be revived.
After checking life support and the power left in the Potentia (29%) I begin the task of waking the crew, 472 pods 1 by 1 inputting the manual command, the only reason I awoke as it seems from the computer is that a subspace beacon from Atlantis was sent out through subspace, it gives me hope to think that Atlantis still stands but it is more than likely not my people as if it was we would have been rescued much faster.
If we do come home to find that some younger race has taken up residence I do not know how I will react, I feel as if at first I may want to throw them out but again our race will be gone so maybe guiding them through infancy and up tot eh point where they may be one day a race that joins our ranks as a great one, on that note I wonder how the Asguard have fared I've never met on in person but their race of warriors that held integrity and honour over all sound magnificent.
"Captain where are we?" my second in command, Lieutenant Taiarus asks.
"We are on our ship 10000 years after the battle for the Potentia station" I reply.
"Well, do you have an information as to Atlantis or our people, surely they rebuilt somewhere" he says matter of factly.
"From what I can see Atlantis stands as it was a recall beacon that awoke me from my slumber, although considering the time passed where we weren't saved and the lack of communication from them I would say a lesser race has inhabited Atlantis" I say to him.
"Well we just need to return then and retake our city, with any luck they will be kind and leave, what of the hyper drives?"
"It seems they were damaged as well as all weapons, power conduits and shields" I reply sadly.
"Are they repairable?" Taiarus asks.
"I believe so but not permanently, there seems to be a hole on the bottom of the ship that was caused by a wraith shot hitting a weak spot while our shields were down".
"I also believe weapons aren't damaged per say as just lacking any power and thus no responding but shields I fear will need a complete replacement because of the close proximity of the damage to the shield generator itself"
"And Hyper drives will require a work around of power conduits from the damage to the power grid on the lower sections of the ship, repairs to weapons and hyperdrives will take 1 day, it also seems that parts of the Potentia station remained intact mainly storage bay 4, although rarely used thanks to the pace at which we were moving supplies during the war, it may have some resources of technology useful to us and I would like you to take a jumper out and search it".
"Yes sir".
2 Hours later Taiarus returned.
"Did you find anything?" I call out to him hopefully.
"Nothing much sir it was mainly debris, we did however find 23 drones from the stations defensive arsenal floating in the debris so it wasn't a wasted trip".
"Good job Taiarus , I have decided our next move also, hyper drive repairs won't take nearly as long as I thought in fact they are nearly done and from our long range scanners which are now fully online I have determined that we don't need to repair anything else".
"From what I read it seems that the replicator planet has very distinctive energy reading coming from it, reading of Potentia output which means one of 2 things either our people rebuilt their or the far more likely possibility that the replicators still exist and in either case we can use the shipyards that they most likely built to full repair our ship" I explained.
"What if the replicators have changed their base code? Don't they despise us?" Taiarus Questioned.
"It is a risk we must take, this ship needs to be in working order before we start reclaiming lost property and this is probably the only facility in 2 galaxy's left that can achieve this" I said with conviction.
"Well it's your call but I still think it's a risky call" Said Taiarus.
"It's okay even if they are hostile I have a trick up my sleeve, there is command code hidden deep in their base code tied in with their basic function that can sever the link between all nanites on their network, only the high council and scientists that created the Asurans know about it and I just happened to be informed of it as a precaution because of my role as leading commander of destruction of the replicators. I'm still surprised that they survived we utterly destroyed that planet".
"Commander Pantel come in" my communicator buzzed on my belt.
"This is Pantel, report".
"Hyper drives are at 40 percent functioning capacity which is enough begin transit" the engineer reported.
"Good we will depart momentarily Pantel out" I replied.
I put my communicator back on my belt and turned to my first mate.
"Looks like it's time to go lets go to the bridge" I tell him.
The Asurans were having a normal day, build, replicate, update, build, replicate and update so nothing out of the norm how could Oberoth have known that a quarter of the replicators under his control had faked their last hundred thousand or so updates and had been plotting against him for years or that today would be the day they used gifted knowledge to separate their base code from the ones under Oberoth and use the command deep in their code to destroy them all.
Nor would anyone have guessed that this group of replicators was fanatically loyal to the Lanteans because of the same reprogram that gave them independence and the urge to destroy the other replicators and as this all went down a figures watched from somewhere unknown chuckling to himself thinking about the surprise the crew of the Fanatus would receive once they arrive.
