Part 21
During the meeting O'Neill told Allen that it would be a good idea if he were to go back to the SGC to tell General Hammond of their up coming arrival so he could inform the president and who ever else Hammond thought necessary. The meeting was now over and Allen was now due back. Everyone was now on the bridge and they were getting worried that he hadn't showed up yet when all of the sudden and to everyone's relief they watched as an IDD formed and Allen stepped through.
"Allen, where the hell have you been?" O'Neill Shouted.
"Sorry Jack. It's a long story but the short version is I wasn't concentrating on the General but the briefing room of the SGC. When I tried to go looking for him the guards stopped me and said they would inform him and he would come to me. You can fill in the blanks from there." Allen explained.
It sounds like somebody's going to be in trouble." Daniel commented.
"The guard was only doing his job Daniel. He wouldn't know any better." Sam Responded.
"What I want to know is why you didn't go straight to the general." Jack replied.
"With all due respect Jack you have to consider timing. Everyone has to go to the bathroom sooner or later. I just didn't want to walk in on anything."
Everyone on the bridge cracked a smile. Some couldn't contain the giggling.
"So, I take it the meeting went well?" Allen asked.
"Yeah." Jack groaned. "Teal'c had time to go through all forty three maneuvers and went on to some of the hit and run types as well. By that time the only one that seemed to be interested was that Data fella. They were still in there talking till just a few minutes ago."
"Well, that's a good thing right? I mean Zippy's new to the warlord biz he'd probable use one of the lesser hit and run types to save his ships. Don't you think?" Allen asked.
"He has a point there Jack." Daniel Responded.
"Yeah alright, well, what do you say we get this show on the road?"
Captain Picard who had been listening to the exchange agreed.
"Ensign, notify DS9 that we will be departing and have them send a message to Starfleet that we are leaving for our mission then notify Voyager of the same. Helm releases docking clamps on our side and prepare to clear the station. All hands prepare battle stations."
As both ships moved far enough away from Deep space nine Captain Picard turned to Allen.
"Mr. Fuguer, if you'll do the honors."
And with that Allen began to play* and the IDD opened and the Enterprise NCC-1701-E moved through the inter-dimensional-doorway to a new universe. It took the hole theme for the ship to pass through. When it got there they found themselves in orbit above the earth. Data had been watching the scanners and began his report.
"Captain, communication with Starfleet satellites has stopped. The planet below is Earth as it appeared in the late twentieth, to early twenty first century having a heavy pollution content consistent with this time period and com traffic consisting of radio signals of varying bandwidths. I have adjusted our shields as to make us invisible to the satellites of the time but we will be visible to earth based telescopes. I suggest we hide our presents for the time being by moving to the earth's magnetic poles"
"Agreed. Helm, make it so." Picard ordered.
"Isn't anyone concerned about what happed to Voyager?" O'Neill wondered.
"It was to be expected that I may have to open another IDD for Voyager to come through Jack. Theme songs only last so long. We talked about it during the briefing remember?" Allen replied.
"Sorry, I must have forgotten. Well don't you think you should start playing?"
With that Allen began playing* once more.
"Allen, I'm pretty good at remembering music and that doesn't sound like the other two Star Trek themes you've played so far so what are you playing now." Jack asked.
"Star trek Voyager." He replied.
"You mean Voyager has it own show?" O'Neill asked incredulously. "You're dimension gets all the good programming."
As the IDD fully opened once more Voyage began to emerge though it. It was then that Jack and the others realized that this was the first time they had set eyes on the outside of ether of the ships. As the music continued to play they felt that it fit the ships scale and gracefulness somehow and the group hoped that it was as tuff as it was beautiful. As the ship finally made it all the way through the music came to an end and the IDD closed. Captain Janeway then appeared on the main viewer.
"Well, it looks like we made it Captain but are we in the right place." Captain Janeway asked.
"That's what we're trying to establish. We have take scans and found that we are in the right time and we've analyzed the harmonics of this universe but all we can say for sure is that we are not in our own space and time."
O'Neill stepped forward to speak with Captain Picard.
"Excuse me captains but I left that communicator badge thing Data left with us with the general. Perhaps we can just give him a call. It wouldn't work if we were in another dimension would it?"
"Good thinking Jack your really getting the hang of this dimensional stuff." Allen commented.
"I try Allen. I try." O'Neill said sarcastically.
Picard tapped his com badge smiling at the exchange between Allen and O'Neill.
"Enterprise to General Hammond."
General Hammond was at his desk reviewing the Intel video provided by Murphy during SG-1 mission where Godzilla had taken out so many of the mother ships when he heard his name. He turned the volume down on the television set and listened.
" General Hammond this is the Enterprise do you read?"
The voice was coming from the top of his desk from the badge Commander Data left behind. Remembering how Colonel O'Neill said it was used he taped it and trying to sound professional he said.
"This is General Hammond of the SGC to whom am I speaking?"
"This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the federation starship Enterprise. I believe we have some people of yours who wish to speak to you."
O'Neill stepped forward and spoke for SG-1.
"Hi George. How's everything back at the base?"
"Just fine Colonel, all thing considered. We haven't had any reports of any Goa'uld ships entering this solar system as of yet but they still have some time left. The countries air force is on alert just the same. Can our new friends see anything from up there?"
"Their still scanning the area sir we just arrived and positioned ourselves at the Earths magnetic pole to avoided detection. We'll be sure to let you know if we see anything. Until then do you have any orders?"
"Colonel I think it would be a good idea to have Mr. Fuguer Dr. Jackson Dr. Fraiser and Teal'c down here and out of danger. Now if I remember my Star Trek they have transporter technology and can beam them down if necessary am I correct?"
"Yes Sir." Jack replied.
"I also want you and the Major down here as well when the fighting starts."
"Understood Sir." Jack said reluctantly.
Captain Picard turned to his first officer.
"Number one, please escort them to the transporter room and beam them down to the Generals quadrants and give them com badges so we can stay in contact."
"Yes sir."
"Commander Data is there any sign of the attack fleet?" Picard asked.
"No sir. However the scanners are pointed in all directions. It would be helpful to have a direction to focus our search." Data replied.
Upon hearing this Sam had an idea.
"The Stargate address."
"Pardon me." Data asked.
"The Stargate addresses give you seven point to outline a course to a position. Six to pinpoint a position in space and the seventh would be your starting point. The symbols on the gate itself are actually constellations. If we use the same constellations we used to get to the Goa'uld ship yard we should be able to give you a direction to concentrate your scans." Sam explained.
"These ancients of yours that built the Stargate system were truly geniuses." Data replied.
"Yes, and the Major doesn't seem to be that far behind them." Captain Picard added.
"Yes. We're very proud of her." O'Neill said playfully making Sam Blush with embarrassment.
"Commander Data, since Voyager has the better Stellar Cartography lab I think you and the major should beam over there and work with seven of nine to find those ships."
"Yes sir."
Part 22
Two hours later the General, Teal'c, Daniel and Allen were trying to keep busy in the briefing room of the SGC wile waiting for word of the attack. It was already a couple of hours over due and it was suspected that the damaged and or incomplete ships were holding them up. Just then O'Neill and Carter beamed in.
"They've arrived in our solar system sir. The attack is expected to begin in about five minuets." Major Carter announced.
The General immediately picked up the phone and called the Air Force base coordinator and told him to scramble all Jets before hanging up.
"Sir, there may be a problem. There are only five ships. We believe the ships that didn't make it were the damaged or incomplete."
"Then what we suspected may be true. They were being held up by those ships and that's why they took so long getting here." Daniel speculated.
"That or they're holding them back in reserve." O'Neill retorted.
"That is unlikely O'Neill. That is not how a Goa'uld system lord would make his attack. To keep to damaged ships to fall back on would be futile and a sign of weakness. They have no reason to believe Earth can offer any resistance." Teal'c announced.
"Yeah but like Allen suggested he's new to the whole system lord thing." Daniel said.
"Colonel, where are the starships now." Hammond asked.
"The Enterprise and Voyager are parked behind the moon which the Goa'uld will have to pass to get here so they won't be detected till the Goa'uld, are right on top of them."
"Mr. Fuguer what do you think their chances are against five mother ships?"
Allen was surprised to be asked such a question as if his he was a part of SG-1.
"Well sir, both ships have been in more battles then I'm sure that they would care to admit against even more imposable odds than this. I believe that they'll win. Otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered sending for them. I realize that all of you have watched the old star trek reruns but these ships are from Kirks future. Their much more advanced and have better weapons than the one shown back in Kirks time. Even Captain Picard said that SG-1s tour didn't show them everything."
"Yeah, what do you suppose they didn't show us."
"Probably the quantum torpedoes." Allen said.
"The what? Are those anything like photon torpedoes?"
"Bigger and better Jack. Always room for improvement." Allen responded with a smile
"Cool." O'Neill said reflecting Allen's smile.
"Let's just hope it enough." The General responded.
On the Enterprise NCC-1701-E
The confrontation was about to begin.
"Mr. Data have we identified their shield harmonics yet?" Riker asked.
"No sir. Each ship seems to operate on a different frequency. I am attempting to analyze them one by one."
As the Goa'uld approached the moon Riker received a text message from Voyager.
"Sir, Voyager says they have got at lest one of the ships shield frequency."
"Well let's hope it will be enough. Until then we'll try to stall them until we can get more. If the situation merits, we'll destroy that single ship as a show of force. Tell Captain Janeway to start moving around the moon to try to flank them."
As the Goa'uld ships headed passed the moon the Enterprise made its presents known and all the Goa'uld ships slowed their approach. Captain Picard told the communications officer to open haling frequencies using the Goa'uld language commander Data has programmed into the universal translator.
"This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise of Earth you are requested to leave this solar system peacefully and without incident."
The view screen then came to life with a new image replacing that of the five ships. It was that of Zipacna.
"I was unaware the Tau'ri were capable of such a bold move as to think they could stop a god form doing as he pleases."
"You should also be aware that we have sworn to protect Earth or as you say the Tau'ri and are capable of doing so with extreme force should the need arise."
"You are bold. To dare to go toe to toe with a God will be your folly." Zipacna said calmly before the screen turned back to the images of the five Goa'uld ships.
"They're even more arrogant than Q." Riker Commented.
"More arrogant but less of a threat in comparison." Picard added. "Mr. Data did we manage to get any more of their shield frequencies."
"No sir, but we have narrowed it down quite a bit. All I can say for sure is what it is not." Data replied.
"Keep on it Data." Riker responded.
"Yes sir."
"Sir, the Goa'uld, are charging weapons." Worf announced.
"Evasive maneuvers, red alert." Picard said calmly.
"Shields up." Riker added.
As the Enterprise made ready her defenses Voyager came from behind with her ablative armor in place and firing a quantum torpedo at the one and only ship they had the shield frequencies for, hitting it in a vital area of the ships propulsion, causing it to blow up. The resulting explosion rocked the mother ship closest to it weakening it shields. Captain Picard ordered quantum torpedoes to be fired upon that ship. The remaining Mother ships began firing upon the starships and death gliders started to pour from the one targeted by the Enterprise. After three more quantum torpedoes the weakened mother ship's shields buckled and the ship blew up as well. Half of the death gliders attacked the starships while others headed for Earth. The phaser banks were used to pick off death gliders with deadly precision. Two of the remaining mother ships in a bold move charged the starships allowing the last mother ship a clear path to Earth. Voyager wasn't going to back down and started firing photon torpedoes at its aggressor to weaken its shield. Voyager then utilized the Picard maneuver which uses its warp drive to appear to be in two places at once to get around the mother ship and went after the Ship that headed for earth which was already in its orbit. This left the other mother ship Voyager left behind to chase after her. Meanwhile Captain Picard took a page out of the Goa'uld play book and ordered pilots to the shuttle bays. The Enterprise didn't have as many shuttles as the Goa'uld had death gliders but the shuttles were just as formidable as a starship as far as the Goa'uld were concerned. The shuttles kept the mother ship at bay as the Enterprise went to help Voyager. Worf wished Starfleet would have allowed him to bring the Defiant as well.
Back on earth at the SGC the General, Allen and SG-1 were pouring over reports coming in from fighter pilots shooting down unidentified aircraft when the Generals com badge sprang to life.
"Picard to General Hammond."
The General tapped his badge and said. "Hammond here what news do you have for us captain."
"Three ships are left however two are running interference for the third which seems to have taken up possession above you. We believe it's zeroed in on your Stargate. We've attempted to tractor beam it away but we're taking heavy fire and can't get near it without it or the others firing upon us. Is Allen there?"
"Yes Captain I'm here." Allen said.
"Mr Data believes you might know of something that may be able to help us."
"Allen paused for a moment before he spoke. Yes. Yes captain I believe I do."
O'Neill then stepped forward and began to speak. "Captain Picard sir, I'm sure you realize that this is a secret facility and we'd like to keep it that way if possible."
"Do you have something in mind Colonel?" General Hammond asked.
"What ever Allen has in mind should also remain hidden. If I remember my star trek correctly they can shoot a phaser blast down and stun everyone in the vicinity say four miles in every direction from this possession. We can give the public a cover story about some facility blowing up or something later."
"That's good thinking Colonel. The General said. Can you do that Captain Picard?"
"Colonel, General, I realize the need for secrecy but do you really feel it necessary to render the immediate civilian population unconscious?" Picard asked.
"The mass hysteria it would create for people to know what we are up against would have an outcome worse than the fight we're in right now." Jack replied.
"I see your point but what of your fighter pilots?"
"I'll order all military to take cover and our pilot to break off attacks and head out of the blast area till I call them in again. Give us five minutes and then canvas the area. Hammond out."
"Sir those mother ships are huge. People undoubtedly would still be able to see them outside the blast radius." Sam said.
"Oh I don't know about that Carter." O'Neill replied. "Every time I've seen ships come through the atmosphere and they were surrounded by cloud cover."
"Yes, of course! There would be a significant atmospheric disturbance coming in straight from space. Hot meets cold, instant fog bank." Sam realized aloud.
"Sounds like hanging around scientists is beginning to rub off on you Jack." Allen commented.
O'Neill then witnessed Sam and Daniel hiding smiles.
"Alright Fuguer, Let's get you topside so you can do your thing."
Allen grabbed his keyboard and he and SG-1went down the hall and got into an elevator which would be the first of two. They then went up a few flights of steps and Allen found himself not at the mouth of the tunnel to Cheyenne Mountain but on top of it. They immediately went into a concrete bunker and waited for the Enterprise to blanket the area with phaser fire. Two minutes later they witnessed a flash of light hitting the far wall of the bunker as they sat below the gun turret so as not to feel the effects or to be temporarily blinded by the light. As they got up they heard what they knew to be death gliders crashing into the ground caused by the pilots being stunned.
"Okay Fuguer," you're up. O'Neill announced.
Allen took his keyboard and began to play*. The IDD Formed and SG-1 could see it led to what seemed to be someone's living room. Allen stuck half of his body through and seemed to be talking to someone outside the field of view given by the IDD. Then a man in a business suit walked up followed by a woman who also wore business cloths. They stopped just before coming to SG-1s side of the IDD and the man and woman kissed before the man stepped through. Like a wife kissing her husband before he went to work.
"Allen what's going on? You were supposed to get something to stop a mother ship and you get this junior executive."
"Jack do you realize you criticize everyone or thing I've brought through to this universe and that who or what I brought through turned out to be just what you needed?"
It was then the man spoke.
"Are you sure they know about me?"
"Don't worry C.K. Jack always seems to find a way to put his foot in his mouth."
"Hey?! When have I ever done that?" Jack asked.
"Well the biggest one I can remember is when you told the Asgard counsel to get off there little gray butts." Allen said.
Sam and Daniel were once again trying to hide smiles as Teal'c raised an eyebrow at O'Neill.
"What?!" O'Neill said with a stunned look on his face. "I never said that."
"With all due respect sir, you did." Sam said.
"That's right Jack." Daniel agreed
O'Neill was now a little embarrassed as he truly didn't remember saying that before getting back to business. "Well never mind that now. Just what is this lawyer suppose to do. Prosecute him?"
"He's not a lawyer Jack but don't knock it. Zippy's a lawyer and look what he's doing now." Allen said sarcastically. "Don't worry Jack all will be revealed when Clark gets into his work cloths." Allen assured him wile guiding Clark out of the bunker and out into the open air.
"Clark? C.K.? Oh!... This is going to be good." Daniel said in realization as he looked at Sam who looked back with a confused smile.
"What?" Was all that O'Neill could say.
"You see Clark? Daniel figured it out. Now I believe you have a ship to stop." Allen said.
Clark looked up as he walked forward trying to see the incoming threat. He then turned back to face SG-1 took off his glasses and opened his shirt to revile a large red "S" on the shirt underneath. It was then Colonel O'Neill walked behind Teal'c and put his hands on his shoulders and with a big smile said.
"Oh Yeah! This is going to be 'really' good!" he said.
"I do not understand O'Neill. Who is this individual?" Teal'c asked.
"Clark then spun at a high speed and when he stopped he was in his blue uniform and red cape."
"This Teal'c is Superman."
Teal'c had a stunned look on his face as the man before him took to the air and flew off in the direction of a massive billowing cloud swirling in the sky Which SG-1 knew was the mother ship.
"O'Neill is this one man expected to repel a Goa'uld mother ship by himself solely on the grounds that he can fly?" Teal'c asked.
"Oh he can do much more than that Teal'c." O'Neill replied.
"Such as?"
"He can fly really, really fast." Allen commented as he seen that Superman was heading to the ground below the ship before adding. "I think we should get back in the bunker. I believe it's about to get real windy in a few seconds."
Everyone ran inside and scrambled to looked out the turret eager to see what was about to happen.
Superman began flying in circles at high speeds the result was a tornado that formed below the ship. The top of the tornado hit the bottom of the ships shields which began to glow, white at first then yellow. As they started to turn red the ship began to move upward. No one not even superman was sure if it was the tornado that forced it up or if the Goa'uld thought it was better to lift its way into space than to loose its shield. Despite that Superman decided to help them and shot up pushing against their shields forcing them out of earth's atmosphere. He stopped short of going into outer space himself because of the new batch of death gliders that were headed toward Cheyenne Mountain. At blazing speed Superman rushed at each one and disabled their weapons. Either by detaching them, melting them with his heat vision or simply crushing them in place. However when the pilot realized that their weapons weren't working they sacrificed themselves by plunging into the air base below. When Superman saw this he started grabbing them by a wing and flinging them back into space. Superman seen he had cleared the area of death gliders and that jet fighters were entering the area so he decided to let them do what they felt necessary and flew back down to the bunker. Teal'c now had a very stunned look upon his face as Superman returned.
"For one man to have so much power you must live among true gods in your universe."
"Relax Teal'c. He's just a mild mannered reporter. Remind me to dig out my old comic book collection for you later." Jack said.
Back in space the shields of the Enterprise were down to forty percent and were staying behind and firing over Voyagers bow whose ablative armor was still holding. This procedure seemed to be working effectively as the two star ships found that the Goa'uld shield were weakening more and more until the third mother ship shot out of Earths atmosphere in front of the other two like a submarine suffusing the ocean.
"Sir, sensors indicate that the third mother ships shields are almost nonexistent. A signal photon torpedo should take it out and take the other two with it."
"Make it so. Fire photon torpedoes, full spread."
Three torpedoes fired, one for each ship. The result was almost instant vaporization and the battle was over.
"We did it Captain, we've won the battle." Riker announced.
"Yes." Picard said grimly.
"You don't sound too happy about it."
"I'm not number one. These were technologically advanced ships, a far superior force that went against a far less evolved race. An out come that surely would have left the Earth of this universe a dead sphere had it not been for our intervention. I believe Starfleet had only let us come here as to repay a debt for analyzing this Stargate technology. I wish we could leave them more but the prime directive won't allow for it even if it is in a different universe."
"Sort of like the adage giving a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teaching a man to fish and you feed him for life but the fishermen don't have a license to teach."
"Exactly number one."
Part 23
Half an hour later captains Picard and Janeway along with engineers La forge and Tores beamed down to the SGC. Tores's husband Tom Paris was also asked to come along due to his knowledge of twentieth century culture and Data because of his repute with the people. Voyager having the only working transporter systems was used for this procedure as well as using them to clear the debris of the crashed death gliders into a large hanger on the air force base above. Superman was shaking hand with some of the troops of the SGC and making souvenirs of scrap metal for the younger men of the SGC's command using his heat vision to create small "S" shields upon request. Something he'd done in his own dimension from time to time for the troops back home. Upon seeing Superman Tom Paris was in awe and walked right up to him to shake his hand.
"Mr. Paris I take it you know this individual?" Captain Janeway asked.
"Know him? He's the biggest icon in the twentieth century, the biggest icon ever. Captain Janeway, I'd like to introduce you to Superman. On our last trip to the twentieth century of our dimension I was able to obtain some of the Superman pictorial literature but unlike the doctors mobile emitter they disappeared when we came back to our time."
O'Neill looked to Daniel questioningly.
"Comic books." Daniel replied.
"Anyway he's been one of my favorite fictional character right up there with Captain Proton."
Jack and Daniel just look at each other with a questioning look as the silently mouthed the words "Captain Proton" not knowing what Paris was referring to.
"Well he's not a work of fiction just from a different dimension." Allen Responded.
Why is it that these different dimensions seem to have comic books about my life? Clark asked.
"Well Clark, as Mr. Paris said you're a powerful icon. It's been my theory that that icon is so powerful that your reputation has carried through many dimensions. Any of them that have an earth in it that is. The same can be said about star trek and the Enterprise." Allen explained.
General Hammond turned his attention to the Captains and asked for a briefing to be held. Allen was asked to join them. When everyone took there seats the Captains began their report of the results of the battle.
"Due to the ablative hull armor Voyager possesses she faired better than the Enterprise. It will take at least a week to make repairs. Captain Janeway and I have made the decision to keep our ships in this dimension till repairs are complete. Hopefully by that time the Asgard will have their situation under control and be back in your system to take their rightful place before we leave."
"Yeah, I've been worried how my ol buddy Thor's been fairing against the replacators. I hope he gets back before you leave I'd love to introduce you to him." O'Neill commented
"And we'd love to meet him as well I'm sure. We're always interested in meeting new races. However a week is all we can afford to stay. We do have duties to get back to in our own universe." Janeway Responded.
"What of Zipacna. Is he dead?" Allen asked.
"Were not certain but we don't believe so. We had a transmission from his ship before the battle started. Upon analysis we've discovered that he relayed that transmission to us through the ship we battled from a distant location." Picard replied.
"Son of a... pardon me but these guys always seem to come back from the grave and sometimes literally. Jack said.
"I believe we can understand that statement. We've all had similar experiences as well." Picard stated.
"Until our ships are repaired we were hoping that you would allow our engineers a chance to further study your Stargate and perhaps speak with your scientists about it, if you'll allow it" Janeway asked.
"That is completely doable captain. Hell, I'd give you a tour of the universe through it for what you and your people did to save our planet. We have a list of a few friendly planets you can visit if you wish to experience it first hand." Hammond responded.
"Thank you that would be fascinating.
Data then turned to Allen and gave him a small device a little larger than a cigarette lighter that had a clip and a digital readout. Being of Starfleet design it was egg shell white.
"What is this Data?" Allen asked.
"Commander Laforg and I made it to help you. It detects the harmonic frequency of the universe your in. It can also be pointed at a person or thing to tell what dimension that the person or object is from as a digital readout."
"Well thanks. I don't know what to say. I'm sure I'll find a use for it sooner or later. Maybe with a little understanding of the different dimensions I can get home."
"That was our hope." Data explained.
Just then there was a sharp rap at the door and without waiting for someone to say come in a guard opened the door and told the General that Superman had just collapsed in the gate room.
Everyone rushed out of the briefing room and down to the Gate room.
"Clark what wrong!" Allen asked.
"I don't know, I feel...Allen something's wrong. I feel like my insides are being twisted and pulled inside out. I'm burning."
Belona Tores held her tricorder up to get some reading.
"It looks like the atomic structure of his cells are changing and going through some kind of metamorphosis. I can't explain it."
"Aright Clark, remember what we talked about a few months ago? Well I think that we know now that it's not just a theory any longer. I'm going to send you back to your own dimension now."
"What is it Fuguer."
"Not now Jack."
"Allen grabbed his keyboard and played the music that would open an IDD to Superman's dimension. Allen's focus was Lois who he thought would be a comfort for Clark. When Lois seen her husband wreathing in pain on the floor she ran through.
"What's happening here? What's happening to my... to Cla...to Superman?"
"We have to get him back to his own dimension." Allen said.
Teal'c didn't even what for Allen to finish his sentence as he had already picked him up and was taking him through the IDD with Lois following behind. As soon as they were on the other side Clarks condition was improving as he sat up on the couch with Lois at his side. Teal'c looked around him and found the kitchen where he grabbed a glass and filled it with water and brought it back to Clark who now looked almost like the whole incident didn't even happen.
"Teal'c, you really didn't have to do that. I'm already feeling better. Besides you're going to miss your doorway." Clark said.
"I would gladly have missed it to stay long enough to aid in your recovery. As Allen had said you are a powerful Icon to the Tar'ie in many dimensions and you have proven to be a man one could respect. Not for the powers you possess but how you have chosen to use them. At present the Goa'uld leaves us no choice in the way we have had to deal with them. You however with the power you possess did not destroy them. Although this does not help us in the future, I respect that you choose to wield that power respectful of the lives you could have easily taken. I can only hope one day your reputation can be something everyone in any dimension strives to live up to."
It was then that O'Neill stuck his head though the IDD.
"Teal'c, come on Allen's running out of music here."
"I am coming O'Neill." He said and then tuned to look at Clark once more. "Thank you Superman."
"Thank you Teal'c." He replied.
Teal'c then bowed and left through the IDD before it closed.
"This should make an interesting headline in tomorrows Daily Planet. Inner dimensional being praises Superman." Lois announced
"Okay but I get to write the interview with Superman this time." Clark teased.
"Hey!" Lois teased back.
Back at the SGC
Teal'c was just telling everyone that Clark seemed to fully recover upon his return to his universe. After his report O'Neill felt it was question and answer time.
"Alright Fuguer, what was that all about. You seemed to know something so what is it."
"Well Jack I'm sure Major Carter has had the answer to that question since she seen Godzilla."
All eyes had shifted in Sam's direction.
"Sir, the only thing I've been thinking is that neither Superman and Godzilla couldn't possibly exist."
"And she would be right. Nether one could exist in this universe or star fleets or mine. Think about it. Heat beams that can melt steel coming out of his eyes without damaging the cornea, skin that is dense enough to repel bullets yet still be as soft as the skin that covers our bones."
"And then there's that whole flying thing." Daniel added.
O'Neill was really confused by now and asked.
"So what are we saying that he doesn't exist? That he really wasn't here? That he didn't do all those things he did?...That he's a work of fiction?"
"No Jack. It is my belief that Clark can't exist here because of the way the laws of physics are set up here and that the laws of his universe are more shall we say pliable, even broken in some places allowing him to exist."
"But if that's true then how was he able to exist here at all." Sam asked.
"He couldn't." Belana Responded. "According to my readings his cells, If they were left to mutate the way they were going he would have been human by the time the process was over but dead by the time he got to that point."
"But what I'm saying is that that should have started to happen the moment he came across to this dimension." Sam clarified.
"And I believe the answer to that question would be that he brought a little piece of his universe with him and the laws that go with it." Allen explained.
"And he only just started to feel the effects because that peace was all used up." Daniel finished in realization.
"Exactly, he was here almost two and a half hours. At least now Clark and I have a time frame to work with should I ever require his assistants again." Allen said.
"If the laws of physics are that much out of wack in his universe it must be pretty dangerous there." Sam said.
"All you have to do is pick up the newest Superman comic book to find out." Allen replied.
Just then alarms started blaring and an announcement came across the PA system.
"Off world wormhole activation!"
A parade of Marines came running into the gate room with Murphy right behind and pointed their weapons at the Stargate. Looking around and thinking trouble was expected the people of Starfleet follow their lead and took their phasers from their hips and aimed them at the Stargate. As they watched it spring to life they jumped back slightly and continued to watch as the iris closed.
"That would probably be SG-9." The General announced. "They're scheduled to be coming in from a meeting with the Tok'ra . It's just standard procedure to guard the Stargate every time it opens. It's a precautionary measure."
The Starfleet personal then relaxed.
"It has quite a dramatic activation." Picard commented with a nervous smile.
"Not as impressive as the one we seen outside Deep space nine but we like it." Jack replied.
"We're getting a GDO signal... Its SG-9 sir."
"Open the Iris!"
"The Iris opened and the people of Starfleet watched as four men walked out of the event horizon."
Belana pulled out her tricorder and raised it to the Stargate.
"This is amazing. The power this thing generates is incredibility immense. What do you use to power it?"
"We have a nuclear reactor that supply the energy required to get it to work." Sam said.
"What's it made of I'm not familiar with this mineral." La forge asked.
"It's called naquada and it only found on a small amount of planets. It's the only metal known to have all the properties capable to allow a Stargate to function. I hope you have something like it in you universe to build one other wise studying it would be useless to you."
"We have a lot of alloys developed for use in starships, categorized by there properties. I'm sure we can find something we can use as an alternative." La forge replied.
The conversations turned to techno babble as far as Jack was concerned and everyone broke off into different groups and talked on for hours.
Part 24
Seven days went by quickly and within those days much was accomplished not only had Voyager and the Enterprise made repairs, friendships were being forged. Sam was having in depth conversations about here favorite subject, that being the Stargate with Starfleet engineers. Surprisingly Daniel made a good friend of Captain Picard who envied him and the agrological finds he had made and at the moment Tom Paris, Will Riker, Data, Jack And Teal'c were playing poker in Jacks office. Even Riker found it hard to tell if Teal'c was bluffing or not but oddly enough it was Paris that had won the most hands and this last hand was the big one. Tom had wagered his newly acquired Superman comics which O'Neill new meant a lot to him and O'Neill matched his bet with VHS tapes of the Original Star trek when Balona And Sam walked in.
"I told you my husband would find his way into this game." Balona said looking at Sam.
Before anyone could say another word everyone's communicator came to life once more.
"All Starfleet personal in the SGC please come to the Gate room." The Voice of Captain Picard said.
"I think that means its time for us to go back home. It looks like this hand is over." Balona commented.
Although he didn't show it Paris was a bit relived. He really wasn't sure if O'Neill was bluffing or not and didn't what to loose his new comic books to a bluff. They all got to the Gate room where the General and the two Captains were waiting and Jack asked the General why everyone was called here.
"The Asgard were just here to tell us that they were able to repel the replicators from their home world for the time being and will be available to protect us in about four days when they have finished repairs on their ships. The Asgard have expressed their thanks to Starfleet for taking their place and said they hoped that they could one day meet under better circumstances. With the threat of attack over and the Asgard promise to return the Captains have told us that the repairs to their vessels are now complete and have asked Allen to take them home."
"Oh. Well I for one am sorry to see you people leave we were starting to have such a good time and all." Daniel Responded.
"The feelings are mutual. The path you people have embarked on is full of so much wonder, I find myself wishing I could take the journey with you." Picard Replied.
"You guys are always welcome." O'Neill Announced.
The SGC personnel then started to shake the hands of the people of Starfleet. When they were done Picard looked to Allen and asked if he was ready.
"I'll beam up in a few minutes Captain I want to say goodbye." Allen said.
"Very well." The Captain replied.
With that Picard tapped his com badge and said energize and the group of Starfleet personnel beamed up to their ships. When they were gone SG-1 walked up to Allen and O'Neill ask.
"So you've decided to leave us Fuguer?" Jack asked.
"As much as I'd like to stay I felt that I have to go. This devise Data gave me might tell me a few things as I go but I have to do some traveling for it to work."
"So where will you go?" Sam asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I thought I'd go make more friends so I can help other friend. That how I got all the help we needed to come here in the first place."
"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.
"You don't think that these people came to help a complete stranger do you?
I've been to each of their dimensions and in some cases I was even able to help out without opening one doorway. So I'm going to take my act on the road and make new friend with different talents and maybe one day I'll come back with a new bag of tricks to help with whatever you got going on here at the time."
"Well Fuguer You sure made things interesting and your welcome back any time. I just wish I could say you could count on our help anytime unfortunately..." Jack trailed off.
"You have to go through military protocols." Allen finished for him. "I've realized that. Don't worry."
Jack smiled and shook Allen's hand. He then stood aside as General Hammond took his place.
"Well Mr. Fuguer I must say when I first took this assignment I found it odd to be writing daily reports about gods, aliens, and people coming back from the dead. Thanks to you the reports will look like an even worse peace of fiction with the addition of Godzilla star trek and Superman." The general said with a smile. "But seriously son I just wish there was some way we could repay you."
"Who knows General may be one day your dimension will be the key that gets me home and then I'll owe you one." Allen replied.
"Well then I hope that we can provide that service someday. What you did was well worth it."
Then Hammond moved aside and it was Sam's turn. "I'll be working on your problem in my spare time I promise." She said shaking his hand and then gave him a big hug.
Then Teal'c walked up and bowed. "I have learned much from you Allen Fuguer. As I am not officially a part of the earths military I would be honored if you choose to enlist my assistance when you find need of it."
Allen was a little shocked by that statement as he said. "Thanks Teal'c I'll keep that in mind."
Last but not least was Daniel. "What can I say to the man who made all our childhood dreams come true? We met Superman people from Star trek and then watched Godzilla kick some Goa'uld butt. This has been a great couple of weeks and if you're looking for friends you don't have to look any further than right here. I hope you'll come back soon."
"Well I'll try someday. After everything I've been through here though I would have thought I'd want to stay away but now I find I really don't want to leave. Maybe I'm turning into an adrenalin junky. Hell, right now I almost feel I can take on a Hell mouth...almost. Well Goodbye everyone."
Daniel didn't understand the reference to a hell mouth but he didn't let on as he moved to stand with his team.
Allen noticed that Jack gave him a short friendly salute and Allen returned in kind. Proud of his new friends and proud to have served with the SGC. He then hit his com badge and told voyager he was ready to beam up.
Part 25
A day later, Allen found himself on board a different kind of ship which was not in the Star trek universe. He found the people of this ship to be hospitable. At least he wasn't thrown in the brig but they were suspicious of him and that was to be expected. He was taken to see their leader who asked for his help but Allen told him that as much as he wanted to he didn't think he'd be able to do so at the present time, at least not what he had requested of him. After Allen gave his explanation why, the leader understood. He wasn't happy but he understood. Allen did add that he would be able to help in other ways if they needed him, but the leader told him that he would keep that in mind all the same. Allen truly wanted to help these people achieve their ultimate goal even the crew could see that. He just didn't have what they needed. As he walked down the corridor he stuck his hands in his pockets in frustration. He felt something within one of them and pulled out the object. It was the harmonic frequency detector. Data had shown him how to use it when he was in the SGC universe and remembered how the numbers changed as it gave a universe number of whom or what he pointed it at. The number of the SGC universe was different than the one given when he would point it at Starfleet personal and still another number was given when he pointed it a Murphy. Sam had given him a PDA to keep track of all the dimensions he'd be going to. He wrote the numbers of the universe down in it along with who was there. The universe number of the SGC universe was 7704.6 and that number was still displayed. He pushed the button to take a new reading of this new universe so he could write it down and put his notation in the PDA but it didn't seem to be working. The same number was being displayed. He then pointed the devise at himself and finally it started to work once more as the reading showed the number that he had seen the last time he pointed it at himself. He then tried to take a reading of the universe he was in again. The readout then displayed the number 7704.6. Allen was disappointed that the device was on the fritz but then he realized what might be happening. To confirm his findings he took out his PDA from his inside pocket and looked at the number of the SGC universe. His jaw dropped as he stood there gapping at the identical numbers but soon recovered as he thought about how to proceed with this information and who best to tell first. He found himself in front of the leader once more and told him he would be leaving to see if he could find a way or to see if it were even possible for him to fulfill the leader's request. The leader in turn hoped that he could and wished him a safe journey.
Back at the SGC the base was on full alert. The military was running around all over the place. In the briefing room battle plans were being worked out. People were yelling information back and forth and the guard was doubled at the Stargate and the SGC elevators even the ventilation shafts. Colonel O'Neill was making use of the phones in General Hammond's office when in the corner of the room Jack saw a star form. He reached for his gun but soon realized what it was and was then extremely relived to see it. He seemed very excited to see Allen walk out of the IDD as he got up from his chair and said.
"Sweet! Perfect timing Fuguer! Boy am I glad to see you."
"Why what's going on Jack?" Allen asked looking around bewildered.
"It wasn't over Allen. It's those two ships that Zippy held back, the ones that were damaged. Well the Tok'ra just came to us and said that Zippy managed to make one good one out of the two and now he's on his way here to finish what he started only this time we're totally exposed. Do you think we can get the Starfleet guys back here in a hurry?" Jack explained.
"How long have we got?" Allen asked.
"The geeks estimate two hour."
"Two hours?! There's no way they'll get here that quick. When I left them, both ships had emergency orders of some type and had to leave me behind on DS9. I do however have some other people in mind and they would be a more permanent solution to the problem but I would have to talk to General Hammond first and he would have to talk to the president on this one. Where is he anyway I need to talk to him." Allen explained.
"General Hammond is 'with' the president in Washington right now. He was already on his way there to report what has been happening here the last few weeks when the spit hit the fan." Jack told him.
"Jack, I need to talk to both of them now if I'm to stop this."
"Allen concentrated on Hammond and started to play but O'Neill yelled for him to stop."
"Jack?!" Allen complained.
"Allen, if you were to open a direct line to Hammond while he was in the presence of the president the Secret Service would shoot you down." Jack explained.
"Well, can't you get word to him that I'm coming and not to start shooting."
Just then Daniel came running into the room
"Jack are you alright I heard yel...ling. Hi Allen boy are we glad to see you."
"Not now Daniel. Listen, do you have your presidential ID pass with you?" O'Neill asked.
"It's in my office if that's what you mean. Why?" Daniel asked.
"Get it. You're going with Fuguer to the White House." Jack ordered.
"Okay. But again Why?" Daniel wondered.
"You'll find out at the meeting come on lets get your pass." Allen said.
As they left O'Neill picked up the red Phone which was the direct line to the president and thought of how to carefully word what he was going to say.
The scene in the White House was just as tense as the scene back at the SGC. Even people that weren't privy to the secrets of the SGC could tell something big was happening and worried even though they didn't know what it was about. The president was meeting with General Hammond in the President's office. Unfortunately Senator Kinsey had also managed to become part of the meeting as well.
"Well, it looks like you finally managed to kill us all General, I hope your happy." Kinsey Began. "I told you long ago that you and your people took to many chances. Now you've put Earth in the spot light once more and we'll be lucky if we can open a line of communication with these people to straighten out the mess you've made of all this. I'm going to advise the President we tell these aliens to take our Stargate, 'both of them' and be done with this traveling to other worlds once and for all. It's been nothing but trouble since the day it was first activated. The possibilities for disaster are astronomical. Why the tails I've been hearing about the past few weeks alone are enough to tell that your people have become delusional. Someone was even spotted going into the SGC in a superman costume and it's been reported that the man and some of your men believe him to be Superman. I can't wait to hear what Alien disease or chemical weapon was used to cause half your base to suffer these delusions. It will only add fuel to my proposal. Your ideals of bringing back technology and helping other planets to gain allies all look good on paper but look where we are now, with our fat in the fire that's where. I'll have you and your people reassigned to remote areas where you'll all be forgotten.
Hammond was about to respond when the President had hung up the phone after talking to Colonel O'Neill and turned to General Hammond.
"General are you familiar with Allen Fuguer?" The President asked.
The General was surprised to here that name since he hadn't had a chance to make his report.
"Yes sir, he's a good man he's..."
The general was cut off as a star formed in front of them. The IDD opened and Allen and Daniel walked through. Secret Service came from every direction pointing guns at the pair. Daniel held up his credentials and shouted repeatedly over the people shouting at him not to shoot. General Hammond quickly told the president that he could personally vouch for these men. The President then told the Secret Service to lower their weapons.
"I'm sorry Mr. President. Colonel O'Neill was to call and tell you we were coming. I'm Allen Fuguer and I believe you know Dr. Jackson."
"Yes and Colonel O'Neill did call, however I just got off the phone with him and didn't get the chance to notify my staff. I was just about to ask General Hammond what he knew of you. Colonel O'Neill was just telling me of some unusual talent you possess that has been very instrumental in the past few weeks and by the way you've arrived I can see how. Now in this state of emergency I take it you've come here for a reason?"
"Yes Mister President, You see I'm what I believe some call a dimensional being, a traveler. I've recently been given a device that can tell me what dimension I'm in as I travel through them. I know many beings from many different dimensions but until now I didn't realize that some of these being share the same dimensions. I've just come from some people from within this dimension that can help you with your current situation and will be willing to share technology to help in the future but they need your help as well and you're the only one that can provide it."
"What kind of technology? What kind of help? Who are they?" The President asked.
"Sir, I have a long tale to tell about these people and not a long time to tell it but I'll try." Allen began.
As long as the story went on and with all the questions Allen was asked the story was completed within thirty minutes.
"Well Mr. Fuguer that is some story." The President said as he mentally weighed the pros and cons of the situation. "These people must be very technologically advanced and I think we can even handle the influx..."
"Mr. President you can't possibly be considering this proposal! It's ludicrous!" Senator Kinsey shouted outraged. "Do you realize in the long run your talking about contaminating the Earths blood line with Alien DNA!"
"Actually if what Allen said is true they wouldn't contaminate it, they'd be replenishing it. Daniel countered.
"Oh you'd enjoy that wouldn't you Dr. Jackson, having the earth over run by these aliens bringing a host of problems down on us." Kinsey accused.
"First of all their humans not aliens and second of all they didn't create their own problems but there problems would have found their way here to destroy us eventually anyway. At least with these people we have a chance not only to solve their problems but our own." Allen stated.
"Our own problems..." Kinsey said sarcastically as he nodded his head. "By your own admission you're an alien as well. You'd probably be happy to see the end of Earth wouldn't you." Kinsey accused.
"Actually I'm a resident of Earth I was Born there grew up there and live there, just not in this dimension and I wouldn't want to see anything happen to earth in any dimension." Allen stated.
"So you say." Kinsey said disgusted before turning to the President. Mr. President, I say we tell these people to go to hell and tell the Goa'uld that we'll give them our Stargates and any other alien technology we've acquired in exchange for them leaving us alone." Kinsey implored.
"You can't be serious. That won't work. At this point they won't settle for anything but the total annihilation of earth because we're too big of a threat and they'll worry about the consequences of what the Asgard will do later." Daniel Stated.
"With all due respect Mr. President, Senator Kinsey has displayed compete and utter contempt for the Stargate project since he was given full disclosure and I believe that's because he is xenophobic of it." Allen accused.
"Xenophobic?" The President asked.
"Fear of anything alien sir and I never realized it before but I think that would be a very accurate assessment of the Senator. It sure explains a few things anyway." Daniel explained.
"I can accept that, because those fears have been realized and you people want to add to our problems by throwing gas on the fire. Brining these people here is a mistake that will get us all killed by making their problems become our problems." Kinsey Said.
"These people as well as most of the people we found on the other side of the Stargate are human. Their our brothers that have been separated from us for whatever reason. We haven't been able to get some of the more advanced races to help us for the same reasons we wouldn't want to give a primitive culture an atomic bomb. These people however want to help us. We should be willing to accept these people with open arms." Daniel stated.
"I agree." The President said.
"What! No you can't!" Kinsey shouted.
"The Stargate project has been about bringing new technologies that would help us in our war against the Goa'uld. Now in our hour of need it has finally produced just that and I'm not about to turn it away when the price they ask is so little. These people are human beings and they can help us but first Mr. Fuguer I will need to meet with their leader."
Senator Kinsey had become outraged by this and started shouting.
"No .No I wont let you contaminate the purity of earth." He yelled in extreme rage.
The Senator pulled out a gun. No one was sure if he was pointing it at Fuguer or the President who were standing next to each other but the Secret Service thought that he was aiming at the President and so did Allen. Allen shielded the President with his own body and the Secret Service opened fire on Senator Kinsey. The Senator didn't even have time to be surprised that he was being shot let alone pull a trigger as he died instantly when so many bullets entered his body at once.
"Mr. President, are you okay." General Hammond asked.
"Yes. Yes, George, I'm fine and thanks to this man even if Kinsey had gotten a shot off Mr. Fuguer was willing to lay down his life for me. Mr. Fuguer, had I had any reservations about you before their gone now. Thank you."
"Your welcome, sir." Allen said surprised at his own daring.
Just then a phone rang. The president walked over to the desk it rested on. He picked up the receiver and listened. He then hung up and made an announcement.
"The Goa'uld ships have been spotted just outside our solar system by our long range satellites. At present speed they'll be in the system in an hour. Mr. Fuguer I suggest that we have that meeting now. However I believe we should use the next available office. I don't believe we want to have this meeting with a dead body on the floor."
"Yes of course."
They move into the next office and Allen picked up his keyboard and concentrated on the leader of the ship as he began to play*. The IDD opened and Allen stepped halfway through as he spoke the leader. Although he couldn't hear anything the President watched the Leaders look of surprise at hearing what Allen was telling him and then watched as his eyes became glossy as tears of joy were building within them. The leader was hesitant as he walked through the IDD but this was a monumental occasion and he wasn't going to miss this opportunity. Allen took it upon himself to make the introductions.
"This is the President of the United States of America of... Earth." Allen told the leader before turning to the President. "Mr. President this is the leader of the people who have been looking for you for a very long time. May I introduce Commander Adama of the Battlestar Galactica."
I'm using the 1970's Battlestar Galactica with Lorne Greene as Adama. The new series would have seemed too far advanced for the SGC and the Goa'uld and so I needed them to be a bit more old school for the drama. Besides I thought old BSG was more fun. If you're wondering which superman Allen summoned he played the theme from Lois & Clark the New Adventures of Superman. Grd wanted to know which Enterprise so I made it NCC-1701-E just to give you some kind of time frame of where we were at in the StarTrek universe
