Star Wars is on the list. I'm also considering Halo for Forerunner tech and Spartans.
You'll be waiting a while for the Warhammer Jump I'm only on Jump Four. Warhammer will be Jump Ten, assuming I want to end the series at that time. There's no real reason to just have ten Jumps. As long as I don't select an end Jump this series could go on endlessly.

Thank you.

Your assuming that the Quantum Mirror would activate if something other than a person touched it, we have no evidence of that. Plus you have to consider that where the mirror is in the other reality might not be big enough to contain say a Puddle Jumper, not if its a store room in Area 51 or Stargate Command.
Besides with his armour he's pretty much a one man army in any case and Cameron is organic on the outside so she should be able to use the mirror as well. Also he should be able to send human troops through the mirror, and he is having an army trained.
If the mirror does allow machines through then sending robots would make much more sense as his LOKI mechs are expendable and not so advanced that letting them fall into enemy hands would be a disaster.
Also he already has a Puddle Jumper with a reality drive so using the Quantum Mirror that way seems rather pointless.
The real advantage of the Quantum Mirror is that you can where you're going. You have some idea of what's on the other side of the mirror, which you don't get with a reality drive as unless you've already been to that universe, then your jumping in blind.
Since Ancient drones were able to bypass Anubis's upgraded shields while ion cannon fire couldn't it's clear that while the two weapons may employ phase shifting, the show never states that they do, they clearly work in different ways. Drones are physical projectiles for starters. So while it is highly likely that Ancient shields would shrug off ion cannon fire Jumper Gothic couldn't be one hundred percent certain so it was best not to take risks.
If you remember from the show Anubis's sent a minion to test the effectiveness of his new shields against Tollan Ion Cannons, he didn't go himself because he couldn't be certain his shields would work.
Actually negotiator and diplomat are perks he picked up in the Trek Jump, its just that they don't work on the IOA because they aren't reasonable people, in fact they could be considered villains. Let's not forget that this is the same group of people who fought bringing the replicators back was a good way of dealing with the Ori.
The leaders of other worlds he can deal with easily. In fact it's just the IOA he has trouble with.
Actually he has a good reason for using Earth style prefab homes, and not using replicators for everything. The Confederation needs to keep going once he's gone, which means he can't keep using replicators and the matter furnace, because those will be gone in a few years. Earth will still be around, as their experts will be as well, teaching others to build modern societies long after this Jump ends.
Plus its not just Earth he using to uplift worlds, he just made a major deal with Tech Con Group, so he will become less dependant on Earth over time.
Also the Matter Furnace is only meant to provide raw materials for the Vehicle Bay, which is part of the Cosmic Warehouse it wouldn't be able to produce the amounts of materials an advanced civilisation needs. He could use replicators, but it makes more sense to set things up so societies in the Milky Way galaxy can what they need from each other through trade, as that is something which can keep going after Jumper Gothic leaves.
Jump Chain Gothic 4 - Confederation
Part 10
Annwn. Milky Way Galaxy.
"It went very well" I said to Miranda over the comm system.
I'd just returned from the Tollan world that was in the reality were there had never been a Stargate program, and my attempts at trade had been more successful than I had expected. No doubt one or two of the perks I'd picked up during my Jumps had aided me.
Travell, a Tollan leader of great importance, had been a shrewd negotiator and diplomat, but I was no novice in that field. And I'd gotten her to agree to trade ion cannon technology for shields that could protect Tollan cities. Unlike other deals I'd made there had been no needless dragging of feet or any attempts to alter the bargain so that it benefitted one side to the point that it became unfair.
While I'd not gotten anywhere with their phase shifting technology, they seemed overly protective over that tech despite knowing I possessed something similar, however they had been eager to share their means of rendering weapons such a guns and staff weapons, more or less useless. I suspect this was because it was a technology meant to protect people were as phase shifting could be used to bypass defences.
Even the Tollan ion cannons were a defensive technology because they'd been created to protect a planet from hostile invaders. I fully intended to mount a couple of ion cannons on my ship, but I'd not mentioned that the Tollan in case in endangered our deal.
For the technology to render most weapons totally harmless, which I intended to install on my ship as soon as possible, they'd wanted faster hyperdrive, and I suspected that Travell had been advised about how useful that could be to the Tollan by some scientific or military adviser.
Despite seeming rather uninterested in space travel when I'd met them, it was possible that the Tollan had offworld mining posts, or something else I didn't know about going on in nearby systems. I suspected that the faster hyperdrive would be used by their limited number of ships to better supply and protect their offworld assets.
Well whatever the reason it hardly mattered. The Tollan were not threat to anyone other than themselves. And if my shields could help protect them then that was of the good. Anubis may not have attacked that world in that other universe, but it was only a matter of time before some did and then the Tollan people would be very grateful that they had shields for their cities.
"They gave me a pair of ion cannons as well as the blueprints so that we can make more" I informed Miranda as I went and sat down on my bed "Ion cannons are a complex technology, but I'm confident that Seven will figure them out".
If she couldn't then we had other experts to call upon. The Asgard used ion weapons as well, so maybe an Asgard engineer could figure them out for us. My attention was to get the Asgard to install the ion cannons when they replaced the prototype beam weapon and installed the new plasma beams weapons. The technology had been improved upon and I was looking forward to testing out the new weapons sometime soon.
Miranda reported a few unimportant things before signing off the night, and once I was off the comm, I noticed that Cameron was standing pretty close to me.
"Did you want something?" I asked her.
Rather than speak, Cameron turned around so she was facing away from me, undid her jeans and pushed them down around her ankles along with her panties. Then she bent forward, her hands gripping the shelving unit against the opposite wall. Which made things pretty clear as to what she wanted.
"You haven't had sex in three days" she said "It's important for stress release".
Rather than debate that, which would be silly, I allowed myself a brief moment to admire the sight of Cameron half bent over, her naked ass thrusted back invitingly. Then I felt my left hand make contact with her buttocks, the mild smacking sound was very loud in the otherwise quiet room.
She didn't react, she wasn't surprised by the action, and she couldn't feel pain, which made spanking her a rather pointless activity for the most part. But it was still a little fun to whack her cute little behind, and this action did sometimes make her jump a little. She could be shocked by the action at least.
I also couldn't use my near-ascended power to make her feel pleasure without physical contact. Like the Prior's of the Ori I could stimulate a person's nerve endings much like how I could move objects with just the power of my mind.
However I used this ability to make people feel good rather than to torture them. Although when used to extremes the two uses of that power often had the same result. Which was why I had to be careful when using that ability. I didn't want to harm any of the women in my life.
Before long I had my manhood deep inside her pussy, and I was soon enjoying the exquisite feeling of her tight, fuckhole as it seemed to swallow up my cock. Cameron pushed back into me, trying to get me as deep inside her as was humanly possibly. Well as humanly possible for me, her body wasn't so limited.
"Fuck, your pussy feels good" I heard myself say.
Despite the position we were in, it didn't take me too long to establish some kind of rhythm as I fucked her, and Cameron was beginning to thrust back in a way that caused my dick to drive deep inside her with every thrust.
As we engaged in sexual intercourse I used one hand to steady myself while the other began reaching for her chest, it was as if it had a will of its own. The cyborg wasn't wearing a bra, she didn't need too and often didn't, so my free hand was able to have some fun, feeling the soft flesh of her breasts, and sometimes I pinched her nipples.
Which got a reaction from Cameron, but no matter how hard I pinched she only responded by making pleasant noises. She could feel pleasure, or some sort of simulation of it, when pleasing me, but she didn't feel pain. Yet even after all this time I couldn't help trying to make her yelp or to get her to produce some sort of noise which indicated that she felt some small amount of pain.
This wasn't because I was cruel, I just like having the ability to mix pleasure and pain for a woman, and to see their reactions. None of my harem ever seemed to mind this, and I was careful not to cause any real harm.
Despite Cameron's limitations in one aspect, she was highly skilled at pleasing me. She knew how to move her body in ways to make sex as enjoyable as possible for me, and while for a long time her dirty talk had ranged from weird to downright funny, she was now telling me things that had shooting a load of cum right inside her.
The orgasm was intense, and I was glad that my bed was nearby as I needed something to fall back onto, and the floor would have not been such a soft land.
When I recovered enough to be aware of my surroundings I saw that Cameron had just finished fastening her jeans.
"You were right" I told her "I did need some stress release. Thank you".
"You're welcome," Cameron simply replied.
For all the emotion in her voice you'd think she'd just brought me a cup of coffee rather than engage in a personal physical act with me. But I couldn't deny that her methods were effective.

Terella. Milky Galaxy.
This world, known as Terella to the native human population, had once suffered under the rule of the Goa'uld Seti. Which was a bit confusing as that was also a name for Setesh, who on Earth had been a cult leader by the name of Seth.
While Egyptian mythology was a bit befuddling when it came to deities, as they had so many gods, the Tok'ra had a better understanding of Goa'uld society. According to the information they'd shared with me. Seti and Setesh were 'brothers' for lack of a better term. Spawn of Ra and Hathor, like Heru'ur. Seti and Setesh had attempted to overthrow Ra at some point, and while Setesh went into hiding on Earth, Seti was banished to this world, and forgotten about.
The legends of the locals, passed down by world of mouth, as few people could read and write, told me that Seti served a greater god known as Ra, and that Seti had created the Terellan people. However their ancestors had in fact been brought here from Earth via the Stargate to work in the mines, just as the people of Aybos and other worlds had been.
For thousands of years the people served in barbaric conditions, slaving in the mines and in the fields for their Master, fearful for their lives. Seti's servants, his Jaffa, had terrorize the small populace, and there had been executions if the naquadah quota was not met. Apparently the Goa'uld had never come with the ideas such employee incentives and performance related pay.
However as the decades, as the centuries passed, the number of Jaffa that served their Master began to dwindle, no one knew why, and while I had theories that involve a lack of fresh symbiotes for the Jaffa, it didn't really matter.
What did matter was that there was revolution, which was led by a man called Pryus, they killed the remaining Jaffa and took their weapons, before taking the pyramid and killing Seti.
Fact and fiction were mixed in the accountings of what happened next. One elder I spoke to told me that Pryus, wielding only his trusty pickaxe, fought Seti in combat in the Throne Room. It was described as an epic struggle between good and evil, like something out of the old sagas.
Another older gentlemen declared that Pryus dealt Seti a great blow, using a Jaffa's magical weapon (they didn't know that staff weapons were pieces of technology) forcing Seti to flee into his Sarcophagus. There, Pryus followed him and killed the evil god.
Yet another spoke of how Seti begged for his life, and that betrayed he Pryus, who had shown mercy, by attempting to stab the man in the back, only for Pryus to kill him.
I suspected that the truth was much more simple than that. Pryus had most likely been swept up in events, and while I was sure he had killed Seti I doubted that it had been a straight up fight as Seti would have been armed with a hand device.
Whatever the case, Seti's terrible reign over the people came to an end, and in gratitude for their new found freedom, the people chose Pryus to rule them as their new King.
For several hundred years, Pryus ruled Terella, and while no one here was old enough to remember such a time I suspected that Pryus was for a time a decent king. However at some point he started to use Seti's Sarcophagus, which granted him a very long life. Alas the device took away his humanity and he became a cruel despot, who used force of arms to keep himself in power, just as Seti had done. Ironically the liberator became the oppressor.
Over the centuries it became a ritual of sorts for Naquadah to be sent through the gate to some world, which must have been Seti's tribute to Ra, and a condition of his exile.
The death of Pryus allowed his daughter, the Princess Shyla, to ascend to the throne. Upon meeting her I could tell that she had been greatly influenced during the time she'd spent with Daniel Jackson. She was a much better ruler than her father and while the mines were still open, no one was worked to death these days and the fake Jaffa protected the people rather than help oppress them.
While the SGC had been providing machinery and knowhow of how to use these machines to the people of what they called P3R-636, in order to increase their ability to mine the Naquadah, some of which was shipped to Earth, according to Queen Shyla, no one from the SGC had been around for a while.
This had to do with the budget cuts the SGC had suffered ever since Anubis had been defeated and Atlantis had been discovered. The IOA was focused on the acquisition of Ancient technology and in building their fleet, so helping people offworld was less important these days.
Even the discovery of the Central Stargate Hub wasn't going to change that, as now the SGC would be exploring whole new galaxies, while ensuring that their world was kept safe thanks to the city-ship and moon base which I had provided them.
Which suited me just fine as now so many worlds like this had no one turn to other than the Confederation. Queen Shyla had eagerly brought her world into the Confederation, and wanted my aid in uplifting her people. And in exchange I had access to plenty of naquadah deposits, most of which were untouched as slaves with pickaxes and shovels could never have reached them.
This world was still supplying their unknown, and most likely long dead, Goa'uld master, with naquadah, sending it through the gate in order to stop him re-asserting control over the planet. However this was unnecessary now as the System Lords had been defeated, and Ra who'd been the Goa'uld the tribute was meant for had been dead for more than a decade.
However I was having some trouble convincing the Queen of this, and since this method of appeasement had kept this world Goa'uld free for more than five hundred years it was easy to see why it wouldn't be abandoned. I had no intention of forcing the issue, although I did want to find out where all that naquadah was going.
At least the quantity required by the Goa'uld was easily obtained now, and while the SGC had suggest starting to slowly reduce the amount of naquadah in order to wean whatever Goa'uld is getting it. Queen Shyla had disagreed, stating that the risk to her people was too great.
Even when I offered to go along with the next shipment and destroy the Goa'uld taking it, she refused and told me not to do anything that might bring the Goa'uld back. Despite knowing that her father had killed a Goa'uld she was terrified of them returning.
Not that I could blame her as it was possible that some Goa'uld had been benefiting from the shipments, and they would have sent a ship to see why the mineral was no longer being sent through the gate. Of course it was also possible that the were humans getting the mineral, and they were wondering why a magic ring kept giving them something that was totally useless to them.
The now more profitable mine, produced more than enough naquadah, and in exchange for what this world could spare they had gotten farming machinery and medical knowledge. Alas Queen Shyla had made a huge mistake when making that deal with the SGC, she should have asked for help building manufacturing facilities so that the people could build their own machinery. It was not a mistake I intended to let her make again.
Currently I was overlooking the valley, and from here I could see the pyramid and the mine entrance, as could the surveir from Tech Con Group, who'd come here to see it was feasible for his company to improve them mine. The idea was that the mine would remain the property of the locals and in exchange for improvements to both the mine and the methods of mining, Tech Con Group would gain a percentage of the naquadah.
"In short term they'll want to trade naquadah for the means to uplift themselves" I said to the Tech Con Group employee "But once they have proper homes, enough to eat, and a way of educating their children, all thanks to combined efforts of the Confederation and Tech Con Group, we can pay them in money for the naquadah, and once they have money they'll want to spend it".
Once we'd ensured that everyone on this planet had a home, three meals a day, a job and so on they would want more. Entertainments, luxury goods and so on. Ways of spending not just their wages, but also their spare time. Which they would one day have.
The mine would be run with best equipment we could provide, the locals would trained to use that stuff and to maintain it. Some would even learn to run the factories that made the equipment, as well as spare parts and tools needed to keep everything running.
Which would be nothing compared to what the schools would teach their children, who would be even better off than their parents. They would be Tech Con Group's future customers and productive citizens of the Confederation would never know hunger or what it was like to be a slave.
"I can see the potential" stated the human member Tech Con Group.
Given that this world had no experience with aliens I'd felt it was best to use only humans for the uplifting projects, at least in short term. In time the more primitive humans would come understand that non-humans weren't always a threat. Again education was the key.
"We'll set up the infrastructure needed for the farms and mines" the man was now saying "Not just for naquadah, there could be other metals here worth mining. I'll need a ship to perform an orbital survey".
Since it would take time for the Herbian ships to upgrade their hyperdrives I would provide the data they needed.
"I'll handle that" I told the man "I'll have my people perform a detailed scan of the whole planet".
The man, I'd not bothered to remember his name, seemed pleased by this.
"We can introduce the people of this world to environmentally friendly farming methods, as well medical practices, that will allow for a slow, but steady population growth" he said next
"Naquadah generators supplied by Oberon can provide clean energy" I mentioned.
No sense letting these people use fossil fuels, which generated pollution, when a much cleaner source of power was available.
"I'll leave you to complete the survey" I told the Tech Con Group person as I signalled for transport.
The finer details were for others to handle, I couldn't micromanage everything, and it seemed the Tech Con Group had things well in hand.

Orilla. Othala Galaxy.
Once more my ship had been brought to the Asgard home world for upgrading. This had been freely offered so I assumed that the Asgard had acquired a reality drive from me by working with Seven of Nine. Which I'd figured that they would sooner or later because they'd want to share their cure with other versions of the Asgard. It might be too late, but I wasn't going to try to convince them otherwise.
I just hoped that they didn't encounter some evil Asgard, who seized the reality drive tech for themselves and began invading the multiverse, given that the number of alternate dimensions out there could be infinite there was bound to be an evil Asgard empire out there. Of course the chances of the good Asgard running into them were pretty slim so I wasn't going to worry about it.
There was more than enough for me to worry about already. There had been more sightings of Stragoth on planets in the Milky Way, the Jaffa Nation was slowly fracturing, and the Alliance was spreading Kassa about. And who knew what Baal was up to, but it wouldn't be anything good.
For now I was focused on the sight before me. From the window of this office, which belonged to Thor, I was watching drones of some sort float around my Aurora-class warship as the prototype plasma beam weapon was removed to be replaced with two brand new plasma beam weapons, and parts of the ship would be covered in a superior form of armour.
My ship could have powered more than two plasma beam weapons, however Thor had been quite firm about my ship only getting two beam weapons. The Asgard didn't like supplying other races with their weapons technology. For that I couldn't blame them, and in some future Jump I was sure my group would be able to back engineer the technology.
Right now I didn't need the extra firepower, not when I had a couple of Tollan ion cannons, also getting installed on my vessel. The plasma beam weapon would be installed on the side of the ship while the cannons would be on top. This arrangement was best as this way would work well with the power systems and provide decent coverage with the weapons.
"If you have the time I would like to show the design for the new Salvation-class ship" Thor said.
He displayed a very detailed hologram of an Asgard vessel. It was hard to tell the scale, but it didn't seem as big as an O'Neill class.
"Now that our war with the replicators is over, and the Goa'uld have been defeated, the Asgard high council has decided that we should cease production of warships and invest our resources in a more multi-purpose vessel" I was informed "A ship that can perform the role of warship if needs bet, buts it's main purpose is to serve as a science vessel".
The hologram showed a blocky vessel, certainly an example of function over form, yet I wouldn't call it ugly. There was a certain elegance to its form despite its blockiness. Somewhat like the Earth built Daedalus.
"Much of the technology that you have provided will be incorporated into this new class of vessel" Thor informed me "Including improved sensors, which incorporates Ancient designs. Quantum Entanglement for secure, long distance communication. Phase cloak technology. The best armour we can create. Our latest weapons. And several systems that are classified".
I could see some of the features of the ship just by studying the hologram, it was all familiar to me. Hyperdrive , sublight engines, shields, all of which had been taken from the O'Neill class. I could even see that this type of ship would have Naquadah, Carbon, Trinium composite armour.
While this vessel had a single Asgard plasma beam as its main offensive systems, it had several ion weapons as well, which were designed to penetrate the shielding systems of both Replicator ships and Anubis' upgraded Goa'uld shields.
The ion bolts fired by these weapons were capable of bypassing a shield, which meant that while the Asgard hadn't obtained phase cloaking tech they did have some knowledge of phase shifting.
Some else worthy of note was that these cannons were the only known energy weapons capable of destroying Replicator blocks, which were normally totally impervious to energy weapons,
When Thor caused the image to split in half, so that the insides of the ship could be seen, I was able to locate the power source for the ship, which was massive for the craft's size. I also found internal spaces that would be used as labs I guessed, or for storage of materials the Asgard would study.
"The class of ships will be called Salvation in order to celebrate the saving our race, even if the cure is not a permanent solution" Thor was now saying "The first ship of this glass will be name The Gothic".
I couldn't help feeling flattered by that, however I didn't dwell on this honour as I had some business to discuss.
"Commander Thor" I said "I was hoping to discuss obtaining the technology you have that prevents internal explosions on board an Asgard ship".
Asgard ships possessed a system of unknown nature that somehow prevented explosions from occurring on ship. As a result many of the tactics used against Goa'uld and Wraith ships by SG teams, such as setting of nukes inside the vessels, would be useless tactics Asgard ships. This technology was presumably not limited to their space fleet, and might be used in all Asgard facilities.
I hoped to obtain this technology so that it could be used alongside the tech the Tollan had given me that disabled most weapons. If combined any attempt at boarding my ship would be useless as no explosives would work and only weapons used by my forces would work.
While it might be wise to employ this technology on Annwn, and I intended to use the explosive suppression system for sure, I wouldn't use the weapon's disabling tech all over the city-ship because the ambassadors were allowed a limited number of armed guards.
Embassies were the property of the nation so employing that technology without permission could be seen as violation of that nation's sovereignty. Plus there was no need to let anyone know that I had that technology. It might benefit me somewhere down the line if it was a surprise.
"What can you offer in trade for this technology?" Thor asked.
While the Asgard were cautious when it came to any tech that could be used to harm others, like their weapons, they were far more generous if you wanted defencive technology, or tech for exploring. Which was why Tauri ships had such good shields and hyperdrive systems, when compared to their weapons.
"If you're building new ships then you're going to need resources" I said "and the Confederation has a new member world which has a profitable naquadah mine".
Thor pressed a button on his desk, and it displayed something I was familiar with. The hologram soon changed to show more materials I knew all about.
"Some time ago you supplied these materials to us for study" Thor was now saying "They have properties our scientists simply can not understand, and we require more samples for study".
A while back I'd used the Matter Furnace to create elements that only existed in fiction because they were magical in some sense. I'd sent these samples to my more advanced allies as gifts, something for their scientists to look at in the hopes of expanding their understanding of the universe. The Asgard seemed to developed an interest while others hadn't. Mostly likely because they were advanced enough to understand there no physical materials should act the way stuff like mithril did.
"I can't replicate these materials in any amounts" I told Thor.
He nodded in understanding.
"Neither can we" he said "Yet our scientists remain intrigued, and in exchange for more samples I will have our explosion suppression technology installed on your ship while the refit is taking place".
I could spend some time shovelling rock and scrap into the Matter Furnace in exchange for small amounts of mystical metals And I was sure that I'd not sent them samples of every magical material I could create, so they might be getting some new stuff as well.
"It's a bargain then" I declared.
Making reasonable deals was so much fun.

Anwwn. Milky Way Galaxy.
The hologram floated in the air, and unlike in times past this was not the design for some star ship, or the blueprint for some piece of technology, it showed a woman.
"Who's that" Cameron asked me.
Despite her personal growth my Terminator didn't often express curiosity. Which didn't mean she was stupid or anything like that, it was just that she preferred to learn via information downloads or through observation. As a bodyguard the ability to observe the environment, and to identify its potential dangers, was more important than any other skill.
Still when she did show an interest in something that didn't involve protecting me, or pleasuring me, both of which were things she was very good at, I liked to encourage her. Learning about new things was an important part of being a person.
"This is Adria" I told Cameron "she doesn't exist in this universe because I prevented the Ori from discovering that were humans in this galaxy".
Which everyone should be thanking me for, however because of the need to keep the existence of the Ori secret from the people of this galaxy, I couldn't tell people about it. There could be other Ancient Long-Range Communication Devices buried somewhere in this galaxy, and I didn't want to encourage anyone to seek out the Ori because they thought they might be Ancients.
"In show, and I imagine many alternate versions of this reality, she is the daughter of Vala Mal Doran and of the Ori. For about a year, Adria led the Ori forces into battle against the peoples of the Milky Way in the hope of converting the humans of the this galaxy into the faith that would led them worshiping the Ori. Which was important because the Ori can draw power from the worship of humans, and possibly other races too".
Given how much time and energy the Priors spent trying to convert the Jaffa it was safe to assume that they were close enough to human to also provide energy to the Ori via the act of worship.
"To cut a long story short the the Ori were wiped out by the Sangraal, and Adria ascended after Baal took over her body and ended up getting all that power from the worship" I told Cameron "But not for long as Alterran device called the Ark of Truth, which is in the Ori galaxy, did something that convinced the Priors that they were worshipping false gods, which weakened Adria greatly".
Although what exactly was false about the Ori being gods perplexed me. They did after all create the humans who lived in their galaxy, they fed off worship and had nearly unlimited power. That made them seem like gods to me. Sure they weren't worthy of worship because they were a bunch of lairs, but not because they didn't measure up as gods.
"The Ancient we know as Morgan Le Fay then chose to engage Adria in eternal battle which finally ended the threat of the Ori" I said "But that won't have happened yet as were since we're still in early season 10 of Stargate, in terms of time. So Adria should be out there, and I intend to get some of her DNA".
In the show Adria had many superhuman powers, similar to the powers of the Priors. However she wasn't actually a Prior. Although the Prior disruptor was capable of temporarily preventing her from using her powers. These powers didn't concern me so much as I had near-ascended abilities as well and a Prior disruptor.
Once I had learned to use my powers when the disruptor was working, which was possible, I should be able to defeat Adria. However killing any version wasn't actually my goal. I just wanted a sample of her DNA.
She was granted a large amount of genetic knowledge thanks to the Ori who created her, although this knowledge was limited by her human physiology. The knowledge in her mind unfolded as her body matured, causing headaches during her growth.
What knowledge she possesses was unknown to me, but she could control Ori ships, and manipulate the Stargates. She even knew how to influence the dreams of people who were thousands of lightyears away, but since those were Vala's dreams that suggested that some sort of connection was required, even if was simply an emotional one.
Again in the show Michael, the Wraith-human hybrid, whose creation I'd prevented, was able to mess with Teyla's dream, and while they were both part Wraith, it did support the idea that influencing dreams was mental ability others could have.
"Thank you for explaining" Cameron said, before wandering off.
As my bodyguard left my office, I considered again simply using the Ancient Repository of Knowledge, rather than trying to give myself Adira's genetic knowledge. Which should tell me everything I needed to know about Ori tech without much in way of actual study.
However that device had the bad habit of rewiring people's brains. Frankly I'd had enough things go into my head in ways they weren't supposed to. If I kept doing that I could radical change, and become someone else. Which may or may not be a good thing.
In my view a much smarter thing to do would be have Ayiana, the Alterran I'd cloned, to get her head grabbed and all that knowledge shoved into her mind. But she was off on Atlantis right now doing something I knew nothing about.
I was content to let her be, as if she wanted to go to the Destiny with me then she would return, if she didn't. Well I could always clone her again.
As for Adira's genetic knowledge, well I could clone Adira, but I'd never be able to control her, and she was too dangerous to let loose if the cloning went wrong, so perhaps I could give someone else her genetic knowledge and see how it influenced them.
Still it was a same. Adira was quite attractive, it was just such a shame that she was basically evil. It was in her very DNA, and nothing I could do would change that. Which made me cautious about taking her DNA, but the knowledge was so tempting. I'd have to think about this carefully.
