Stargate Korr 4
Samantha Carter was watching television. She was watching several world news channels at the same time. Next to her, sitting on the couch in the quarters of Daniel, her SG1 teammate, were Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and Daniel, who were also watching the news reports with the same amazement as she was.
Two hours ago, a series of reports had been leaked on the Internet, on news channels and on all the computers of companies involved in the production, marketing or distribution of software and hardware, whether they were connected to a public network or not. Even on the military's servers these files had been leaked and were on their own personal computer.
What kept them glued to the TV was that the person who had leaked the files had left a report on the technologies he was detailing and how to use them most efficiently. The report began with the words "Report from an ally," the same words used by the person who had breached the security of their base to write a report on their mainframe computer, which was isolated from any network.
-"This technology is decades ahead of any current computer," Daniel concluded, looking at the almost absurd specifications of a computer classified as personal in the leaked files.
It was a monster of a computer with 20 terabytes of internal memory, which wasn't even a hard drive, but another storage technology. Where a current hard drive would be considered good if it reached 500 gigabytes, compared to the new technology it looked like a cumbersome device.
Most absurd were the 68-core processors and their processing efficiency, where each core exceeded the current power of a single core and a dual core processor by as much as four to ten times its power. Imaging technology was also something new, displays, peripherals, sensors. It was a computer of the future.
-Do you think anyone built their own DeLorean? -Colonel O'Neill asked, raising an eyebrow suggestively. Teal'c frowned as he didn't understand the reference, so Captain Carter proceeded to explain.
-Sir, whatever the case may be, considering that this person is the same person who has infiltrated our base, it is likely that we will have some leak in the future about the Stargate program," Captain Carter explained after explaining things to Teal'c. She felt that her military superior was not thinking through the implications of this matter.
-Carter, you worry too much. We've already been infiltrated and if this guy hasn't revealed anything yet, it's unlikely he will in the future. Besides, it's good to know that someone is willing to give us some advanced technology without demanding anything in return," Colonel O'Neill replied.
-Sir, this technology is only a few decades ahead of ours. To take on the Goa'uld, we would need technology hundreds of years more advanced, perhaps thousands," Carter explained.
-Maybe, but what if he suddenly decided to give us some good cannons and some ships?
The base alarms began to sound, interrupting Colonel O'Neil, and everyone got up to go to the meeting room, where General Hammond, in charge of the base and the Stargate project, and his assistant were already there.
-Sir! There seems to be too much noise on this base lately," General O'Neil commented as he entered. General Hammond looked at him and nodded.
-A few minutes ago, some things showed up in our weapons storage and in our vehicle storage. On top of that, there is another strange report on our mainframe," General Hammond reported, as an officer came in and handed him several papers that he shared with them. Captain Carter hurried to read.
"Report from an ally: There are some dangerous artifacts scattered around your planet. I hope you can put them to good use?"
The report went on to detail a number of things, including a Goa'uld stun gun the report called a zat gun, which stunned on the first shot, killed on the second, and disintegrated on the third. The report detailed how it worked and the number of them that had been collected, which numbered over a hundred. There was also a Goa'uld sarcophagus, which they already knew about, but the report added that, although it was a miraculous artifact, it was also dangerous and its use to prolong life caused insanity.
The most incredible thing in the report was a Goa'uld ship described as an old model cargo ship, which their anonymous informant had done them the favor of upgrading with a cloaking system that made it invisible, a naquadriah-based energy source that this ally claimed the Goa'uld did not possess and that would multiply the ship's efficiency and speed by seventy times.
Finally, a kind of hypnotic gas that would turn those it affected into extremely impressionable people, capable of believing the flat earth theory without any problems. The effect disappeared if a strong electric shock was applied to the affected subject; a zat shot was most effective.
At the end, the report mentioned that these objects belonged to undesirable neighbors, who had better be in their custody. As they finished reading, they all looked at Teal'c. Teal'c nodded.
-All the objects described and their images are Goa'uld technology. It appears that they had not left their planet entirely," Teal'c said.
-It appears so," General Hammond said.
-So now we have a spacecraft," Colonel O'Neil commented with satisfaction. Daniel said nothing and was still reading the report.
-This sarcophagus can be a last resort in case someone is infected by a Goa'uld," Daniel commented. Captain Carter understood his words instantly, he was thinking of his wife.
-Daniel Jackson, that would certainly work," Teal'c supported.
-First try to fight for my life if I find myself in a similar situation," Colonel O'Neil joked to break the tension. The way to take out a Goa'uld using a sarcophagus would be to cut open its host's head, take out the symbiote, and then put the host in the sarcophagus to revive it. It was an atrocious method, but it had a good chance of success.
-Sir, all this technology could help us, especially the sarcophagus, we would no longer have to fear not having a treatment for a Goa'uld infection," said Captain Carter to General Hammond.
-I believe the President will approve their use if necessary, we cannot overlook the warning about their prolonged use," General Hammond replied.
-Zat guns might also save us some enemies," said Daniel, who saw war as an unnecessary evil and preferred peace or, failing that, non-lethal tactics.
…
A day after Korr released his technology files, major computer companies around the world had raised a ruckus of epic proportions. Some had even tried to file patents while others were rushing to sue them for trying to steal public works.
Korr, who was watching the situation at the SGC, stretched and went to his bed to sleep until the next day. He had captured all the Goa'uld on Earth and had given their possessions to the SGC to prevent leaks and give them some early results regarding their search for technologies. That way they would have a basis to justify the program and receive more support.
As for what the U.S. would do with a ship with sensors capable of seeing into a subway bunker, tracking nuclear weapons and becoming invisible, Korr didn't care. If the country tried to enslave the rest of the planet, he would correct its mistake, but if it merely acted civilized, he wouldn't care if an empire formed over the others. Regarding his own country, he didn't care. He really hated being born there.
…
Korr awoke the next day, feeling rested and with much of his stress out of his body. As the bioship was still not arriving, he took a walk around various places on the planet and used his telepathic abilities to get information from some military people whose data he had obtained on the internet. In particular, he obtained information from special forces and strategic headquarters officers of the world's major powers.
…
After half a day gathering information, Korr returned to the jaffa and shared the information on strategy, tactics and combat, ordering them to use them from now on. The jaffa were not happy with what they considered tactics lacking honor, but Korr shared more information with them about extensive treatises and philosophical works on the subject, making them understand that dying in a frontal charge was not honorable, but epic-level stupidity.
Korr did not try to convince them of anything, leaving the place and leaving them alone. If they didn't understand, he would have to find other jaffa.
…
After another three days of waiting, the bioship had finally reached the Milky Way and Korr began receiving reports from his replicator crew.
The Alterans had been secured and were in stasis. Their bodies were old, but once they obtained Asgard mind transfer technology, they could have young bodies.
The new power source, based on Project Arthur, had been created and installed without problems. It was estimated that the artificial dimension created to deposit the exotic particles it radiated would last a minimum of ten years being used at full power, which was a higher output than any ZPM.
Korr was delighted with that result and immediately ordered the creation of three more enhanced guardian spheres to use a Project Arthur power source.
The next reports had to do with the resources obtained from the dismantled Azuran city, along with all of its factories and ships, plus the stored resources. Korr reviewed the construction of the next bioship, of the same model and weapons as his own bioship, but which was only a kilometer long, because it had no factories or shipyards. It would be a combat and exploration ship. The bioship was still at eighty percent of its growth. Even with the constant supply of resources and the help of the Bionanites in its development, it would take a month to produce each bioship.
Korr would only make seven bioships, one for each of the upgraded replicators. He would also not make Ha'taks on the bioship, because it was an obsolete technology. Maybe later he would create shipyards, but they would be outside the bioship. Nor would he make any more upgrades to the Ha'taks, because with the upgrades he had already made, Jet's Ha'taks were capable of taking on ten System Lord Ha'taks and coming out on top. They had overwhelming superiority in mobility, being able to traverse the entire galaxy in little more than a day, whereas it would take the current Ha'taks ships up to three years.
As for the next Ha'taks he would create, they would not include Alteran enhancements, only Goa'uld technology at its finest, including naquadriah-based power sources.
Goa'uld technology could not be underestimated and was thousands of years ahead of human technology. There were thought-powered computers, inertial dampeners, gravity generators, healing technology capable of reviving the dead, shields, invisibility and so on. It was the Goa'uld themselves, led by the System Lords, who limited their use because everything they created had to be a ritual object and not look like technology, because they were supposed to be gods, and that greatly limited their usefulness, for it was all too simple.
Korr did not plan to conquer all the Goa'uld either, he just wanted to have his own territory, and from there he did not plan to leave. The Goa'uld were the problem of the human species, and he certainly planned to help them in their fight because the Goa'uld with their unbridled madness caused him disgust and revulsion, but he would not take this as a personal crusade.
When the reports were finished, Korr integrated the network of satellites that he had created and that the Jaffa had been distributing to different worlds near his territory, with the bioship. These satellites, for the moment, were only ten, but he would program the bioship to create more and in the future, they would cover the entire galaxy.
These satellites served as a means of communication and, at the same time, spied on all the movement of fleets in the galaxy. But their main function was to monitor the entire Stargate system. Once the satellites were distributed to each stargate, he could create an impenetrable security system for his own worlds and make them safe from any threat that could gain access through the portals.
Finally, Korr reviewed the travel data to calculate the bioship's current speed. It took seven days to reach the Milky Way from the Pegasus galaxy. The Alteran-designed hyperdrive, integrated and enhanced by Raid biotechnology, was at maximum performance, which meant that its limit was about one hundred and fifty million times the speed of light, more than twice the speed of the Dedalus with the Asgard hyperdrives in the original story. However, it was to be noted that the Dedalus could reach over three hundred million times the speed of light when using a ZPM on its engines, which meant that its hyperdrives were better than those of the bioship.
There were also the Asgard ships, which could reach over seven hundred million times the speed of light with their hyperdrives and without using a ZPM. Asgard technology excelled in attack and speed, their ships were incomparable, although their shields were weak, as were those of the Goa'uld. It even happened that a Goa'uld ship, barely upgraded, shot down an Asgard ship. Of course, it had to be kept in mind that that ship did not have an Asgard particle ace to attack, so it was likely an obsolete model, used by the Asgard only against the Goa'uld who would not be able to overcome it.
Korr waited behind the Earth moon for his flagship to arrive. The Jaffa waited with him, watching space from the hangar of one of the Ha'taks, and when the Goa'uld-like bioship appeared before them with its massive five kilometer size, they looked on in awe.
-This is my flagship, a ship that is for my exclusive use. Her name will be Leviathan," Korr declared, and the Jaffa saluted, bringing their clenched hands to their chests.
Korr created a connection with the new guardian spheres he created and transported to the bridge of his flagship. Once there, he sat on his throne, a mixture of Greek and Egyptian design. He was again wearing his official costume, with replicators adorning his body, the white skirt and semicircular breastplate.
Korr opened communications with the two Ha'taks.
-We will set out on the road home to reclaim our ancient territory and retrieve the families they have left behind. My intention in this battle will depend on the conditions in which the people who inhabited the planet have been treated. Any act of torture or murder will be responded to brutally and mercilessly," Korr declared.
-As our god commands! -Jet replied in a satisfied tone. He commanded one of the two Ha'taks ships and had responded from the bridge of one of them.
Korr took a few seconds to send a dart of replicators and several biospheres to the moon to build a small ship. Its sole function, once completed, would be to maintain a portal for his use in Earth orbit, which would be activated whenever he needed to travel there. Doing this only took a few seconds, and the communication was still active.
-My ship is faster, I'll drag the Ha'tak," Korr said as he activated a force field on the other ships before opening a window to hyperspace and dragging them with him and the Leviathan.
At its current speed, the Leviathan could cross the galaxy in a mere six hours. Korr didn't want to spend a whole day traveling through hyperspace if he could reach his home territory in just four hours, which would take him to travel from Earth. But in a System Lord Ha'tak ship, and if there were no mishaps, this would take over two years due to the poor power source they used.
While they were in hyperspace, Korr checked the status of the bioship in creation. Its speed did not lose to that of the Leviathan, but its weapons were still light armament and its shields left much to be desired. However, the nanites and bionanites could make it work and, with a few adjustments, it could navigate smoothly and get its cloaking system working.
The adjustments took a couple of hours to be ready, and when the Leviathan came out of hyperspace in space on her former planet, the bioship was ejected from the triangular pyramid, which unlike other ships of Goa'uld design, was not hollow, because Korr needed that space for shipyards and factories.
The bioship, which was one kilometer long and wide, departed for the Asgard galaxy with a crew of replicators in it, led by 01, one of the enhanced replicators, who had a mission to accomplish in that territory. This mission was to obtain Asgard technology.
As the ship departed, a communication reached his bridge and a screen spread out before him.
-I am the god Nerul, you dare to invade my domain? -asked a Goa'uld in a guttural voice.
Korr who was performing a deep scan of the entire planet, ignored his communication attempts for several seconds. He only responded after receiving sensor data about the planet and its inhabitants. Nerul had not killed many people in his power grab, and the Jaffa left behind after the escape of those with him were also safe.
-I have two Ha'tak with me, in addition to my flagship. You possess a battered and ancient junk. Tell me, do you think you have a chance here? -Korr asked curiously, looking at his ancient and dilapidated Ha'tak, which was still parked in his pyramid.
-I serve the forces of the great god Mot, who serves the System Lord Olokun. Dare to touch me and you will be punished by his fleet. He commands six Ha'tak," threatened the Goa'uld who apparently knew how to add. Korr smiled.
Six Ha'tak was a large army for a Middle Lord. A System Lord would have no more than ten in his personal army, though his lesser Goa'uld servants numbered in the hundreds and these could sometimes have Ha'tak of their own. Still, if it were not an extraordinary situation, a System Lord would not steal the ships of his vassals.
-Mot will not come to help you, you are only a steward, and Mot will be happy for me and my fleet to take your place," Korr explained. Surrender to me and I'll give you some nice things, like a decent host. Plus, I'll give you a planet to manage. If you are efficient and not too treacherous in your work, you can rise in power and authority," Korr explained.
Nerul was a young Goa'uld, he was not as affected by Goa'uld madness and could be bargained with, as long as it was done from a position of strength.
-Give me one of your Ha'tak and at least ten Jaffa to train an army for me," Nerul proposed.
-I will upgrade the Ha'tak where you are now and fit it with a new power source I have created, plus other upgrades for bombers, cargo ships and death gliders. I assure you that it will be able to take on three System Lord Ha'tak with no problem, and its speed and other capabilities will be unmatched. But you will not receive Jaffa, you will only be a steward. You will not be entitled to any army. My own Jaffa will provide for your safety and that of your world," Korr explained.
If Nerul agreed to follow him, he planned to subject him to treatment for Goa'uld madness. He wouldn't trust this guy with a hair on his head either. The Goa'uld were ambitious by nature, and that had nothing to do with their madness.
-I agree," Nerul said reluctantly.
Giving him a Ha'tak was already a huge concession. Another Goa'uld would have made him his servant and if he dared to talk back, he would torture him to clear his head.
…
Nerul gasped and rose like a spring from his throne as Korr appeared before him in a flash of light. As they spoke, he had sent one of his guardian spheres to infiltrate his ship. Nerul attempted to activate his shield, but a transporter beam caught him before he could do so and he appeared in a medical capsule in his personal laboratory on the Leviathan.
Korr ordered to begin treatment for his insanity and also the creation of a host with some slight physical and brain development enhancements that the symbiote would find to its liking. The new host would be created by taking a sample of his current host and enhancing its genetic material. As for its current host, its memory as a host would be erased and it would be returned to the civilian population.
…
Korr's first order upon retaking the throne was to gather all the Jaffa and have Jet explain to them the new pact in which they would be considered his servants. Most Jaffa accepted with pride for their newfound freedom and a few hesitated. Korr upgraded them all in the same manner as Jet and equipped them with weapons, armor and tactical knowledge of war and combat. He then ordered Jet to start training them and he would see the results later.
Korr also initiated the creation of a weapons and armor factory for the Jaffa, because he no longer wanted to waste his time creating them by hand, even though he already had hundreds of biospheres to help him.
…
Upon finishing with the jaffa, Korr summoned the human leaders. The humans looked grimy and ragged, with malformed teeth and a great deal of decay; some didn't even have teeth, which was horrible. Korr looked at the twenty humans in front of him.
-I am Korr! -he declared, using the voice of a Goa'uld to instill fear in them and prevent them from doing anything foolish like ignoring his orders. I am the lord and master of this planet and owner by right of conquest of everything on it," Korr held up a finger, "except for you. I have no need of slaves, so I give you your freedom. You may leave my planet at any time from now on. As the lord of this planet, I give you my word that none of you will be punished for crossing the Chapahai," Korr offered, and when the villagers looked at him in a daze, he continued speaking:
-"If any of you are still on this planet by tomorrow, I will consider you my servant, but you will still be free to leave if you wish. Only before you leave, you will not be able to take anything from this place with you, and any blessings you have received from me will be taken away," Korr explained, and waited patiently for five minutes for any of the villagers to decide to speak.
-Blessings? -asked one of the grimy, ragged villagers. Korr nodded indifferently, holding out his hand, where a small tree, six inches high, was formed.
-This is a tree of life. When you leave here, take it with you and plant it in the middle of your village. This tree will immediately grow to become the center of your village.
"Those of you who suffer from any disease, ailment, malformation, are missing any limb or lack intelligence, just touch the tree and in my name ask to be healed, and you will immediately recover from whatever ailment ails you. This tree will also have effects on everything that is planted within a radius of five hundred kilometers of it. All their crops will be produced in one-third of the normal time and will yield up to five times their usual load.
"It will also provide them with seeds and knowledge on how to grow them and the foods they can make from them," Korr explained making the small tree, made of nanites and bionanites, float up to them. Then, he sent the Jaffa to take them outside and bring them to his village to make sure they planted the tree.
An hour later, he returned to the Leviathan while a replicator army was busy upgrading his old Ha'tak junk ship into the first of the new model for his fleet, to be led by Jet and his jaffa on his behalf.
Korr arrived on the bridge and sat down on his throne. First he gave an order to 05 to take whatever biospheres he needed to sweep away everything where his former Ha'tak had been and build him a worthy palace, employing state of the art technology and taking into account a Goa'uld design. Then, a couple of seconds later, four people appeared in front of him. They looked at each other and looked at him.
-Osiris, Isis, Hathor, Set. I am Korr, and it was I who brought you from the Tauri world to this place. I have also given you new bodies, I hope these are to your liking," Korr explained, looking at them with a serene expression. According to a report from the Leviathan, Isis was there because in the future, he would order a test of the time ship, and 00, whom he had commissioned for the task, saw fit to bring her to this time to be reunited with her mate Osiris.
-Set, traitor," said Osiris gnashing his teeth, as Isis raised her hand to demand calm. Osiris did not know that Isis had died, even Isis did not know that she had died, and in theory, she had not really died.
-You are all traitors," said Korr. Osiris and Isis had planned to betray Ra, only Set saw better benefits in betraying them and brought forward his own betrayal. It was not uncommon among the Goa'uld. But time has passed, and now Ra is dead, so they have a new chance to live," Korr explained. The four looked at him with a frown.
-Are you suggesting that we serve an unknown Goa'uld? -Isis asked with a dangerous tone in her voice.
-How many ships do you own, and what position do you hold within the system overlords? -Hathor asked.
-What have you done with us? -Set asked. Osiris was still gnashing his teeth and asked no questions.
-I possess two Ha'tak and this flagship, the Leviathan. I can occupy any position I like within the system lords, and what I have done to them is to cure them of their madness, just as I have done to myself. Hence the feeling of being able to think clearly," Korr explained.
-It seems the system lords are weak these days, we don't need you to make a place for us among them," Osiris declared. Korr smiled.
-Each system lord has at his disposal a personal army of at least ten Ha'tak and hundreds of lesser lords like Basallos, but also keep in mind that Ra is dead and possessed many resources and ships. These will be taken by the forces of the system lords. Also, now that Ra is dead, no one will be able to regulate the creation of Ha'tak, and the system lords will begin to build up forces to assert themselves over the others," Korr explained.
-Why did you say before that with two Ha'tak you could take a place among the system lords? -Hathor scolded. Korr smiled.
-System Lords' ships take three years to traverse this galaxy. Mine take a fortnight," Korr explained, and the expressions of the four Goa'uld went from angry to serious.
-Have you discovered new ancient technology? -Isis asked. Korr nodded.
-My ships have a superior power source," Korr said without explaining. Serve me and you will command my armies and administer my planets," he offered. The four looked at him with indignant expressions.
-Once, Ra forced me to be his queen, and for that insult, I will never forgive him. Now you offer me to be your servant," Hatok said in a threatening tone of voice. Korr shrugged his shoulders.
-I just wanted to know what you thought," he commented as a fifth person appeared next to them. This is Nerul, my first Goa'uld servant," Korr said. Nerul bowed to him and to the other Goa'uld. He was a tall man, 6'2", with western features and dull skin.
-He is a young Goa'uld and has not been tainted by Goa'uld power games. I think he suits me better than you," Korr explained. The Goa'uld were alarmed to understand what was going on. That's right, I had no interest in you, I was just wondering if the older Goa'uld could be rehabilitated. However, I see you are a waste of time and effort. Go back to sleep, perhaps in a few thousand years, I will let you out again," Korr said. And before they could speak, a transporter beam made them disappear and, like their guests Ra'id and Alteran, they were stored in the hold.
Korr looked Nerul up and down. He wore an Egyptian skirt to show off his body, as did Korr. They both seemed to take pride in the appearance of their hosts.
-How do you like your new host and outfit? -Korr asked. Nerul was carrying a karakhest modified to include an Alteran personal shield that functioned automatically and also had stealth capability.
-I thank you for the gifts, my lord, but what is my purpose in your empire? -Nerul asked.
-I need a governor for the human villages. You must build cities and integrate our technology into them, which cannot be built or repaired by their inhabitants. You will also serve as administrator and see that my laws are enforced. You will not allow them to study our technology, but you will not interfere in their own development of technologies.
"Finally, you will see to it that a stable economic system is created whereby you will have to create a currency. This currency will be backed by me. Don't worry about the backing, we will own all public utilities, plus meat production. In the hands of the humans will be the crops and mining resources, in the production and processing of which they will use our technology. Therefore, our economic power over them will always be supreme and we can set all the rules.
"However, you will grant as much freedom as you see fit, as long as it does not affect the economic system.
"As for your privileges and benefits, you will have all the power on the planet. You will have a Ha'tak ship for your residence, protection and comfort. You will have the Jaffa security forces under your command, all the human servants you can keep who agree to serve you, and ten percent of all monetary profits the city makes. Lastly, although you may not understand what I am referring to at this point, you will have access to the internet.
"I assure you that this will be your greatest benefit, but you are forbidden to reveal your identity there. You will use the identity I will provide you with and you will have to follow the security protocols I will send to your main computer," Korr explained. Nerul nodded in confusion.
