Chapter 8

January 30th 1998...

As we stepped through the gate to the dying former Tollan homeworld I immediately erected a subtle breathing filtration field around myself and Sam. I also did the best to cover for the rest of the team without them noticing. One of my newer upgrades post acquisition of the Alteran database in my head allowed me to do the same for the Tollans. Without nanites I would never be able to split my attention enough to do something so subtle with so many targets. Just like the replicators the nanites are a valuable tool if used properly. The nanites can manipulate matter on an atomic level. Such a technology provides almost limitless possibilities.

If the Alterans hadn't gotten so damn used to peace and not thinking strategically this tech might have won them the wraith war. They always made way too complicated solutions to problems.

The nanites slipped off of my body from their expanded dimensional storage space in my pocket, invisible to the naked eye, and entered the bodies of every Tollan lying around us. They constantly monitored their bodies and fed the information back to the nanites in me where it sorted the data and told me exactly what I want to know. Several of the Tollans were already dead but hadn't been that way for long. The nanites began their work of repairing the damage and reviving them before their souls left their body. I couldn't exactly do any necromantic rituals with the team around after all.

The nanites simulated the conditions that told the team that everybody was still alive as they checked them even if they hadn't been completely revived yet.

We began taking them back to the SGC. With Janet's help they were quickly conscious again. Omac introduced his cheery disposition to everybody. I convinced Hammond to let me handle the Tollans after I "examined" the Tollan technology found on them. In reality the Alteran technology was far superior but that didn't stop me from duplicating the technology in addition to preventing it working against our iris. Basically it worked by shifting the traveler to another dimension, sort of like apparating except it was a different dimension than the one Stargate and apparition wormholes travel through.

"Here are your phase shift devices," I said as I returned them to the surprised Tollans.

"You can tell what these are," a startled Narim asked.

"Of course I can. They are simple devices although we prefer a complete dimensional transition when we travel in such a way," I answer.

They were all staring at me in shock now, not just Narim and Omac.

"I don't understand. From the level of technology we see here you shouldn't be able to even grasp how this technology works let alone have anything like it," Narim said in a questioning tone.

"That's just it. We only allow other races to see what we want them to see. It would be foolish to let the Goauld know our true might. They wouldn't tolerate us being so advanced. We don't want to be constantly forced to defend ourselves from enemies. The problem with being powerful is that there will always be others challenging you for that power," I bluffed to the Tollans.

"Then why show us," Narim asked.

"Because your people have potential despite your offensive arrogance," I said with a sneer at Omac.

"You are on a path to destruction with your open defiance of the Goauld with only a simple ion cannon grid standing between them and the total annihilation of your people. Hopefully this will allow you to see some sense even though I doubt it," I continued when it seemed they were all paying attention.

"How did you know about our ion cannons," Omac questioned.

"You'll find we know many things more than you realize," I replied cryptically.

Even before word left base about the Tollans I convinced Hammond to send them back through the gate to a planet a few light years away from their new home world. Hammond thought they would be contacting their people for transport from there. SG-1 went with them as escort but soon returned at the request of the Tollans. From there I immediately apparated aboard the

Harris where the newly installed intergalactic hyperdrive engine shot us to the planet we just got back from in a matter of minutes.

Our remote transporter system worked the same way as a remote apparition works. I had long since classified magic as vacuum energy manipulation. The only differences between wizards and Alterans are some physiological ones that allow us easier access to our powers with a more diverse range of abilities. Of course the Alterans have much more developed mental abilities which take us years to develop if we even know how. Developing a remote apparition system that uses wormholes instead of beams of light to travel wasn't too difficult. We beamed the startled Tollans aboard.

"I don't understand. We checked for Stargates in the systems surrounding our new homeworld and found none," Narim stated.

"You'll find that the number of Stargates in this galaxy most know about and the actual number vary greatly," I answered.

It was a short trip to their new world. We beamed them down before leaving them a small gift in the form of a brand new Stargate and DHD. We managed to mask the connection of this gate to the network. I imagine that in the show that's what alerted Anubis to their presence. Just to keep them on their toes before we left we used the beaming technology to reposition their entire ion cannon network into one place. I had to laugh at my decision to let Faith at the controls when I noticed the new configuration was in the shape of a penis.

This should shift the entire balance of future interactions with the Tollans now that they know a small fraction of how advanced we are. Of course showing them the inside of my expanded wizard's trunk on the short trip will have them thinking every piece of tech from earth is more than it seems. They will be very paranoid about any of our tech from now on. I of course spelled them so they couldn't talk about what they saw or heard from me with anybody but their own people. I cast the spell so that it will transfer to whoever they talk to about that information along with the information. So no Tollan will be able to talk about it with a non Tollan except for me (the caster). I didn't feel bad at all about fucking with the Tollans. Just to fuck with Narim, Omac, and Travelle further Xander and I left behind a cloaked probe with beaming technology on it.

We instructed it to randomly replace any furniture the trio used with various materials that looked like the original. My favorite was when Xander instructed the probe's lower level AI to use mashed up banana as a material. The holographic recordings of their reactions sent back to us via subspace had us cackling madly in glee for hours.

February 6th 1998...

When the fire started bombarding the gate as soon as we stepped through I quickly dialed back to earth. The SGC already knows about some of the weapons I've toyed around with. They of course don't ask too many questions with me providing them enough fusion grenades to make them standard issue for SG teams. As such I tossed a couple of high yield fusion grenades far enough to take out the attackers long enough for us to get through the gate without further trouble. Later that day I entered Hammond's office.

"What can I do for you Dr. Demire," the general asked.

"I believe I've located some type of technology connected to the gate using seismometers. It vibrates whenever the gate is active," I answered as I handed him the coordinates.

"I'll have this checked out right away," he answered.

That was how the second Stargate and its DHD was picked up. This time the power source wouldn't decide to die as soon as Sam powered it up thanks to us replacing the vacuum power module it used. It was the first power module to ever give out after such a long time that we know of. It was simple wear and tear that kept it from channeling any more vacuum energy. I thought it a pretty good lifetime for any technology of well over 50 million years.

When we got to Harlan's planet from the episode Solitudes I immediately shot down the stun weapon with my P90. When the others looked at me questioningly I simply told them that the ominous powering up sound made me nervous. When Harlan did finally come forth we started our usual opening greetings. While the others were having a look around I made a private deal with Harlan. He gave me the plans for the design of his body and I gave him a DHD power module for himself. It will last him for the next 40 million years or so with the constant use. He was all too happy to go forth and try to find friends after I gave him a list of friendly planets we have visited.

While I may have vastly more advanced robotics technology that employs nanites you never know if there is something unique or valuable in a new design.

For the episode There But for the Grace of God I decided to play it safe and follow Daniel through the quantum mirror. While Daniel was figuring out what happened to the others I used an Alteran handheld scanner to get the design for the mirror. The scanner scanned down to the last atom. I can now duplicate the technology. While the Alterans had some pretty advanced technology and had experience with a bit of reality travel the makers of the mirror were experts at it.

I recognize it as a Furling reality portal from the repository. The Alterans were experts on interdimensional travel within a reality. The Furlings were experts on inter-reality travel. If the Furlings are no longer around it's probably because they went exploring in Alternate realities. My nanites could replicate just about any technology by configuring themselves to the design. They give a whole new meaning to multipurpose. Using them configured to send a signal through the reality barrier I sent the design back to the Harris in the gate verse as a test.

The constructors on board would incorporate the design immediately. Like all Alternate realities it fascinated me to watch the happenings in this reality. After Daniel was detained I decided to take action. Walking back to the gate I concentrated on it and watched as it rippled to life from my power. I then forced the iris open while using an Alteran handheld scanner to upload a program into the SGC computer to make it look like that's what actually opened it.

I then made it look like I just stepped through as I dropped my invisibility spell. I was instantly surrounded. A few minutes later I was in the same room as Daniel.

"Harry how did you get here?"

"I followed you through the mirror. If you haven't been able to figure out yet it's a reality travel device," I told him.

"What are we going to do? They are under attack from the Goauld," Daniel stated.

"I know. Let me handle it."

A few minutes later we were brought into the briefing room to see a very unhappy O'Neill.

"The trick with the iris was not appreciated," he stated.

"Sorry," I shrugged.

"I assume you're with him," he continued as he indicated Daniel.

"Yes," I replied.

"Did you come to get him back?"

"Yes but as long as I'm here I can help you out," I told him.

"What can you do," he asked as he skeptically eyed me.

"I'm assuming the Hatac is landed on the mountain top?"

He nodded an affirmative.

"If you let me out on the top I can take out both ships," I told him.

He stared at me for a long time. I could hear his thoughts raging but the truth is that he has nothing to loose.

"We can't reach the surface. They are barring the entrance," he answered.

"You know as well as I do that there are several alternative entrances that they aren't likely to have discovered yet," I replied while recalling the shafts the team had used to enter during the black hole incident.

He nodded again as I just confirmed at least some of my story by knowing about those although he probably doesn't realize that it won't be long until the Goauld scanners pick up the shafts.

I was soon entering the shaft. The alternate Samantha had long since joined us. I turned around and smirked at them.

"I won't be long," were my last words as I began ascending the shaft.

"Arrogant much," I heard O'Neill state.

"It's not arrogance when it's deserved," I picked up Daniel replying.

Once out of the shaft I invisibly flew to the top of the mountain. It really doesn't matter what I do now because it will never get back to my reality as long as Daniel doesn't find out. And really if he does it's a simple matter of a memory charm or a secrecy spell so he can't talk about it. I still don't want to use my full power or reveal my advanced tech. What is the fun in always doing stuff the easy way.

I apparate right through the Hatac's shield and use my contacts to see inside. I next apparate inside the ship itself. It doesn't take long to rid the place of Jaffa. I then did the same with the other Hatac before landing it beside the mountain. Walking out I disposed of the Jaffa at the entrance before walking into the mountain to be met by a wide eyed O'Neill, Samantha, and even Daniel.

"What I told you I wouldn't be long," I told them with a smirk as I walked back toward the gate.

"Come on Daniel we're leaving."

"Thank you," Samantha managed to get out through her shock.

"No problem. I'd do anything for a Samantha Carter," I told her with a grin.

My enhanced hearing picked up her conversation with Daniel.

"Why did he say that," she asked.

"Your counterpart is one of his girlfriends," Daniel answered.

"One of his girlfriends," she managed to gasp out while still being quiet.

"Yep."

"Is polygamy legal in your world," she asked.

"No but they aren't married are they. Besides Harry is a special case," Daniel replied before he told her a bit of what I've done since coming to the SGC.

As we left back for our own reality I couldn't help smirk at Jack. He looked like he had swallowed a lemon as he thought over the fact that a scientist had saved the planet in a situation where the military couldn't. As we transitioned over to our reality I checked the connection between my nanites and the ones I left behind in certain people in the last reality. They worked just fine so I will be able to follow what goes on there and even direct events through the people if I want. That Samantha Carter and Jack O'Neill will never age again either.

Almost as soon as we got back to the correct earth we faced the Kinsey introduction situation. Kinsey is one of my least favorite people. His lackey Simmons is also on my least favorite people list. They don't rate as high as Riddle but they are up there. Everybody was a little more willing to listen since I had been there too but we decided to hold off announcing the situation to Kinsey for a bit (or at least until Daniel decided he didn't like where things were going like in the canon episode).

I calmly began refuting every one of Kinsey's arguments with simple logic and evidence. The evidence came as a surprise to most. I placed a holographic projector onto the table and began showing memories of the incidents brought up. What Kinsey and nobody else but Sam knew was that our conference was being broadcast live right to the president via hologram. One particular topic of discussion really made me enjoy the verbal sparring.

"Do you have any idea how much this program costs," Kinsey asked Jack.

"Seven ish," he answered.

"Seven billion four hundred million dollars a year," Kinsey answered in outrage.

"If the money is such a big issue Senator I'm sure I can arrange to have at least half of that covered," I spoke up.

Everybody was staring at me in shock at my proclamation that I can get a hold of that much money a year.

"And how exactly do you propose to do that," Kinsey finally recovered enough to sneer at me.

"Why I can ask my home government," I replied with a smile.

Again everybody was staring at me in shock.

"You can't do that. It would be treason," Kinsey replied smugly.

"Not technically. You'll recall that I didn't sign the agreement before you told me about the program. In that time I made arrangements so that if anything should happen to me the entire Stargate program would be dumped onto the internet so that no home wouldn't know the truth. Trust me when I say no firewall or antivirus software on earth will stop it," I sneered at the politician.

"Oh my god," Simmons muttered in shock.

He was pretty much expressing the sentiments of everybody there.

"So I suggest you shut up and quickly go satisfy yourself that this is money well spent," I told the dirt bag.

Needless to say the meeting ended quickly after that. As for the risk of getting court marshaled after the mission to save earth it became non existent. When Daniel and I showed the president Daniels memories (mine certainly weren't getting shown) of the alternate reality over the holo projector he authorized SG-1 on an early strike mission. It was deemed best to send a small team.

When we stepped through onto what only Sam and I knew to be a Goauld Hatac we didn't change anything from the canon episode (besides my presence) right up until we got captured. Sam and I faked unconsciousness from the stun grenade. We did this for one simple reason. We weren't sure where exactly Bratac was on the ship. Bratac's destiny is almost as big as Teal'c's. They are both figureheads for the Jaffa rebellion in the years to come.

Luckily we knew when he would come to us. When we went to take out Klorel on the Peltak (bridge) I stayed behind to back up Daniel because I already know the others can handle themselves. As such I made sure Daniel didn't get shot. Daniel is like the energizer bunny. You can kill him and kill him but he keeps coming back. That didn't mean I saw any reason to risk his life. As soon as the bridge was clear and the others were securing Klorel and making plans to ring across to the other ship I beat them to it.

"Harry," Jack shouted as I ringed across to the other ship.

The Jaffa and Apophis never knew what hit them. I moved like lightning using the speed Glory possessed as she regained her strength. I didn't hold back as I snapped every neck of every living being on the bridge. A minute later the rest ringed over with Klorel held at gunpoint to see nothing but corpses and myself.

"Took you long enough," I stated.

"How," Daniel finally asked.

"Man Daniel, for a linguist you are certainly a man of few words at the moment," I quipped.

"Never mind, can we take the ships," Jack broke in to cut off any reply.

"Already done, this ship is under my control. I locked out the bridge from the Jaffa while sealing them behind blast doors in various sections of the ship. I also disabled any security measures. It's a simple matter to do it to the other ship," I answered.

"Good. Carter, Teal'c you two go disable the C4 on the other ship while Harry does his thing. Then we'll land our new ships near the mountain once it hits night fall," Jack ordered.

We did just that and that's how earth acquired two new assets. Klorel is being kept in a holding cell in a secure location until we can figure out a method to safely extract him. It was under my personal recommendation that the president decided this. We aren't in the habit of torturing and experimenting upon victims, which is what Skara is. I'm not yet ready to reveal that I can already extract the Goauld. Daniel and Sharai are anxious to get him back.

There were several hundred captured Jaffa (Apophis didn't bring that large a force) and a few Goauld, some of which I knew to be Tokra spies. We are keeping the Goauld sedated so they can't harm their hosts until we figure out how to extract them. Of course I know earth won't figure it out before we meet the Tokra so the spies are safe. The Jaffa are either being converted by Teal'c or being kept as prisoners of war.

Something I've been wondering about since reaching this reality was quickly answered. I was wondering what would happen during the time between the first and second season. In the episodes this last mission bridged the gap. In this reality there was a rather large lull in activity after the first episode of the season. SGC missions still went on but nothing too severe.

This gave us time for vacations which were well deserved after saving the world.

This gave me ample enough opportunity to do something I've been wanting for a while. After delivering a quantum mirror (closed off from the standard network of course) to Giles, Joyce, and Jenny back in our original reality so they could visit my girls and myself I transported aboard the Harris.

"Is everything ready," I asked Xander.

"Yep," he answered with a grin.

"Then lets go," I told him.

He quickly took us out of the system on sublight before jumping to hyperspace. We came out of hyperspace a few minutes later above a familiar planet covered in lava flows. I concentrated on increasing the power to the shield I normally constantly kept around myself before flaming away guided by my see through contacts. I appeared in a bubble shaped dome and quickly strode forward until I encountered what I was looking for.

I quickly summoned the ZPM from the outpost console. Changing my mind I focused on expanding my flame field around the entire chair platform and taking it with me into the cargo bay of the Harris. There is no use wasting a perfectly good Alteran control chair. From there I strode to the power room where I plugged in the ZPM. Once I was safely back on the bridge

Xander reactivated the hyperdrive. This time we could tell from the different color of the hyperspace field that we are traveling at much greater speeds.

"Current ETA to the Asuran home world is 10 hours," Hermione announced.

Without straining the intergalactic hyperdrive the replicators had installed that was a pretty good speed. For the next 10 hours we checked over the systems of the ship to make sure everything was ready. As we exited hyperspace above the planet in the Pegasus galaxy our multipurpose field generator kicked into action. We didn't even give any time for the Alterans

most advanced replicators to react before the field shot out and encompassed the planet. All over the planet the Alteran form replicators lost cohesion between their nanites.

Immediately our own replicators transported down and began taking over the planet. They recycled the neutronium, trinium, and other alloys the deactivated replicators were made of. I myself beamed down to the city ship control room where I began asserting my control over the planet with the lockout command. Buffy appeared beside me to watch over me while I work with the chair.

"We're just lucky they programmed it into them to not shield from that field," Buffy told me.

"Yeah at least until McKay would have fucked it up by changing their programming," I answered.

A quick inventory of the city had a count of over 100 ZPM power modules, many of them in storage for whenever they are needed. There were 3 Aurora class battleships just waiting to be launched. The Potter, The Summers, and The Granger were auto piloted into orbit at my mental command. Next to join them was the city ship, Atluria. I immediately ordered the

replicators to begin construction on a new city ship and more battleships.

Without straining their resources they would be capable of producing 3 battleships a month. I altered the design slightly with a short mental reconfiguration session. It took a few minutes to incorporate the upgrades the Alterans had made in the 5 million years spent in the Pegasus galaxy. I added another pair of shields to incorporate 2 redundant systems. Each ship would have 2 redundant ZPM powered systems as well. Two primary beam weapons as well as several smaller ones would increase the weapons compliment past what the drones provided.

After those things were ordered I took a short hop over to Atlantis. Not yet ready to mess with the known course of events too much I made sure not to activate any systems as I transported Janus' time puddlejumper out of Atlantis into Atluria. With that done we headed for the Milky Way with all but the Harris. Xander, Tara, Willow, and Dawn were staying behind to oversee things on the former Asuran world.

As we crossed the several million light years between galaxies several compliments of replicators scoured the three ships and one city ship to make upgrades. They hooked up the same upgrades as those being incorporated into the new designs (didn't take as long to modify as it would to build from scratch). Atluria would now be able to raise it's shield and cloak at the same time, as would the cruisers.

When we got back in our galaxy we set Atluria down on a planet that the Alterans had been in the process of making habitable when the plague hit. The replicators can finish the rest of the process. The three cruisers headed for the sol system. They now rest cloaked in a high orbit, watching over the planet.

July 3rd 1998...

When the attack started on the village everything pretty much went as it did in the cannon episode. Sam agreed to become a temporary host to Jolinar. The Tokra presented no threat to my blonde lover thanks to the nanites in her system. They could control what the Tokra was able to read from Sam's mind and even the actions of the symbiote itself. As soon as she was taken over the Tokra and the rest of us headed back through the gate.

The nanites were downloading all of Jolinar's memories and transmitting them onto the network of the ships in orbit. Next came the part we would all secretly enjoy. We had just left the shower room when I caught up to Sam.

"Sam honey can I talk to you in your lab," I asked.

Jolinar was pretty sure she hadn't done anything yet to give herself away. Whatever her host's lover wanted she would have to go along with to keep her identity a secret. She followed him to a lab she recognized as her hosts. As soon as they were in the office portion of her lab he was on her. She found herself in a searing kiss. She was confused for a moment until she analyzed her hosts' thoughts before she took her.

They were thoughts of anticipation for the habitual sex shared with this human after each mission. She hadn't been able to recall it before since she hadn't fully blended. She had no choice but to return the kiss, besides he isn't exactly unattractive.

Insert smut scene here

Jolinar stood up on shaking legs. If this is what her host routinely did on a regular basis it was a wonder she could even move at all. It was probably the most pleasurable sensation of her life. She was fanaticizing about ways to kidnap this Harry and take him with her when his next question startled her severely.

"So who are you," I asked already knowing the answer.

The Tokra tensed, ready for action if necessary. Jolinar was pretty confident she could render this human unconscious without harm. She didn't want to hurt him after how much pleasure he just gave her.

"What do you mean," she asked trying to play dumb.

"Well I know you are of the same race as the system lords but I'm not so ignorant as to classify an entire race as evil by the actions of a few. I imagine you are no system lord. Also by the fact that you haven't harmed anybody on the base I'm going to assume you're in no hurry to kill anybody. So who are you," I asked.

Jolinar relaxed a bit. She had expected instant aggression but it seems her lover is more enlightened than she would have expected.

"My name is Jolinar and I'm a Tokra. We don't take hosts against their will, normally," she quickly added as she realized the current situation she found herself in.

"I suppose I don't begrudge you wanting to survive but could I speak to Sam," I asked having to make a show of not being able to contact Sam.

She let me speak to Sam briefly. Sam remained calm letting the fact that I could talk to her and knew of her situation fool Jolinar into thinking she had control. I led Jolinar down to the briefing room.

Jolinar looked over at her lover as they walked and couldn't resist asking.

"How did you know?"

I smirked at her before replying, "Sam loves anal sex."

Jolinar actually blushed before they entered the briefing room. I decided to broach the subject delicately.

"Teal'c have you heard of the Tokra," I asked.

He blinked before replying, "I have Harry Demire. They are supposed to be a group of Goauld who oppose the system lords and do not believe in taking hosts against their will."

Daniel instantly became fascinated.

"So the Goauld aren't naturally evil. I suppose they have a natural tendency for arrogance and not caring about other races. The system lords just give into those impulses while these Tokra do not," Daniel stated.

"We should find these Tokra and try to make an alliance," Hammond spoke up.

"Yes maybe they could help us remove Klorel from Skara," Daniel agreed.

"I think that can be easily arranged," I stated as I gestured to Jolinar.

The Tokra had been sitting back and listening to the conversation with some amusement until Klorel was brought up. She had been wondering what happened to Apophis. That was her most recent mission. Apophis had disappeared with an attack fleet and she had rushed to get back to her people to warn them before encountering trouble with another Goauld who sensed her. Her former host had been killed so she had been forced to take a male host, a very unpleasant experience for someone who had inhabited females for all of her life.

"I think my people would like to consider an alliance. The Tauri have grown strong in the last millennia," Jolinar spoke.

The others were instantly alarmed until I waved them down. I explained how Jolinar had hopped from a dying host on our last mission. They were skeptical but deferred to my judgment.

"Could you tell me what happened to Apophis and Klorel," Jolinar asked.

"Harry killed Apophis. We ringed in to find him and his guards with their necks broken. Klorel is in a secure holding facility. We were hoping you could remove Klorel," Daniel answered.

Jolinar had to reassess her new lover if he was able to defeat a Goauld in hand to hand. It would also explain his apparent stamina and strength if he wasn't exactly human. Her friend Anise would be very interested in him indeed.

"Yes we should have no trouble removing the symbiote without harming the host," Jolinar answered.

"Now I have an idea about a new host. It won't take me long to locate a wide list of hosts for you to choose from who have some ailment that is too difficult for us to cure but within your capabilities," I told Jolinar.

"Do it," Hammond ordered.

Just then the news about the Ashrak injuring somebody from the hospital came in. Jolinar quickly explained about the Ashrak and we decided the safest place for her was at my house, where I could do the search. This time the Ashrak was taken out by the increased security measures I had helped the SGC implement. One of them was a scanner capable of detecting a Goauld. As soon as it picked it up the security guard hit a panic button, trapping the Goauld inside two blast doors that descended.

When he tried using his weapons to blast through he set off a failsafe system that set off a system reverse engineered from a zat gun. It basically put enough energy into the containment unit to vaporize his body. There was nothing left.

Finding a suitable host wasn't hard. The 28 year old orphan with cancer agreed to become a host because she had nothing left to live for on earth, and wouldn't likely survive long without the Tokra treatment or my own people treating her (which we would have done had she turned us down). She was quite attractive.

Just before Jolinar left through the gate in her new host with a restrained Klorel she gave me a searing kiss. She invited us to a Tokra outpost world in October. I thought it funny that it was on the same day as the cannon SG-1 would have gone there. By then Skara should be recovered enough. Jolinar thought she had observed enough of Sam's memories to trust us.

The next two missions I didn't change anything from their corresponding episodes except in two ways. Both episodes featured big scientific breakthroughs. I don't need them because of the Alteran repository but they would help earth. When we became imprisoned on the planet with the destroyer of worlds we again struck a deal with Lenaya. I was in fact carrying around a pocket fusion reactor with me but having Lenaya reveal the process allowed me to wait on revealing that tech. I made sure to watch what she did but it was basically the same process as the pocket reactor used, if a little more crude. When we took her back to earth I let her escape knowing she would only cause an entire society to regress in age. That's not exactly a bad thing considering they regained their memories later.

On the second mission we encountered the game keeper. Before we could be drawn into the virtual world I deactivated it. The grateful people gladly gave us a copy of the design for the VR system. Reliving my past would either horrify the watchers or arouse them depending upon how far back they went. The president turned out to be very happy about the cold fusion reactor we were designing for implementation in the US power grid. We would quickly begin to replace most nuclear reactors. Sam and I got the credit for the design when it eventually became public knowledge.

When we went to the planet featured in the episode Need at the end of July I wasn't really up with the whole working to death in the mines thing. So when we found the princess about to jump off the cliff I held a struggling Daniel back with my hand over his mouth as she jumped. From there we managed to take out the stricken Jaffa as they mourned their princess. After that we took out the ruler with a quick sniper shot to the head. This definitely proved that convincing the president to let us use silencers on SGC missions earlier than in cannon was time well spent.

We then raided all the naquadah we could carry through the gate along with any Goauld tech. Another sarcophagus for area 51 to study would make the scientists happy. They could actually take this one apart now.

SG-1's second trip to Cimmeria was just as eventful as the first. Sam picked up a Goauld karakesh and healing device. Of course we already had several karakesh from Xander's work aboard The Harris but these are ones the SGC would know about. When Daniel and Sam went with Garwyn to the hall of Thor's might I went with Jack, Teal'c, and our native guide. We again ran into Harrower like in the cannon episode. But this time he didn't survive the encounter.

When Jack and Teal'c took out the Goauld's guards I walked up to the false god with my left hand held up holding my side arm while my right was pointed at him as well. His shield was of course activated.

"You can not harm a god human," he haughtily shouted.

I didn't even bother replying with words. The pistol was a distraction so he wouldn't make a run for it.

"Bolt," I stated causing a very small object to fly out of a device on my right wrist and imbed itself into the Goauld's forehead where it exploded with just enough force to destroy the snakehead's head.

"Nice! What the hell was that," Jack asked as he walked up.

"That was an explosive arrow accelerated out of my wrist launcher using electromagnetism. It was made of an extremely low mass composite material. It had just enough metal for me to accelerate at a low enough speed to keep its kinetic energy small enough to pass through the shield even with the explosive compound I packed inside. Its voice activated as well," I answered.

"Yeah we're going to want to bring those on missions from now on," Jack stated appreciatively.

"Indeed," Teal'c stated.

"Sure," I answered.

Before Thor arrived we managed to shoot our way into the nearest pyramid structure where we found a set of rings. Ringing aboard a Goauld Hatac (it wouldn't have activated if there wasn't any place to go) we managed to capture the ship. That was how we got a nice ride home in earth's newest Hatac. The higher ups were really happy with that mission. Harrower wouldn't have survived long anyway. We only ran into him on Abydos when Sharai was pregnant in canon. He was definitely dead by the time the summit came around.

We had now made first contact with the Asgard as well.

I assume Thor destroyed the Hatac in cannon which is why we contacted him from long range outside of Cimmerian space. I always thought it funny that a Goauld as supposedly powerful as Harrower would go to an Asgard protected planet without at least one ship. I guess we now know he wouldn't.

For the episode Message In a Bottle I saw no reason to subject Jack to that kind of pain. I managed to impress upon Jack the logic in not taking objects with enough power to put out energy for thousands of years non stop back to earth. Luckily we now have other options. We first sent it through to a planet with an atmosphere relatively close to earth to be picked up by one of our Hatac ships. Before we could get it through the gate the second time it did it's digging in thing so we left it there.

Luckily thanks to another one of my suggestions the planet we relayed through was uninhabited. This would at least let the higher ups know not to bring everything through to earth.

The next episode titled Family wouldn't exactly happen thanks to my killing Apophis. So he wouldn't be there to brainwash Ryac. Still it would be best if Teal'c's family came to earth, at least until Ryac is old enough to train full time with Bratac. So I convinced everybody else of this with a little bit of the mind arts. When Bratac guided us to Drayac's new dwelling on Chulak we once again found her remarried. Her new husband of course invited us to stay after things calmed down a bit. If my compulsion charm aided his decision then so be it.

One thing led to another and Teal'c and Drayac got frisky that night. Naturally her new husband saw this and made a beeline for the palace guards. Jack and I took him out quickly and quietly with silenced weapons. Jack had tried to give him the option of giving up but as soon as I saw him attempt to yell for the guards I put a silenced round through his brain.

The next morning Teal'c and his family along with the rest of us made it back to earth. It was pretty simple to remove the tattoos from Ryac and Drayac's foreheads. My pulling some strings got them new identities and the rights to live off base very quickly. It was surprisingly easy to put my nanites in place in most government facilities. The duel spy/mind control among other things technology was delivered via normal letters. Even the president will follow my commands if I ever feel the need to give them.

I met Sam's dad during her award ceremony for the Airmen, which she and Jack are getting for our saving the world. She has already been promoted to Major Samantha Carter. I remember my first impression of her dad.

"Dad this is Dr. Harry Demire, my boyfriend," Sam introduced me after a look from Hammond was directed at her after he introduced Jack.

"Oh really," Jacob asked as he took my hand to shake it.

He tried to squeeze my hand in a test of strength. I just kept grinning and didn't react so that the others could see it. I actually squeezed back with just enough strength to make Jacob wince. I didn't feel it would be in my best interests to crush his hand on our first meeting even if he started it or I can heal it with a command to my nanites.

The situation degraded from there. With the reporter showing up threatening to expose the SGC, Jacob trying to get Sam to join NASA, and then finally Jacob revealing that he has cancer it almost made me wish I went with Daniel, Teal'c, and Sharai to visit her family on Abydos. I'm not in the least bit worried about them. They've got a cloaked Alteran battle cruiser parked in orbit of Abydos watching over them at the command of Hermione.

In the just over two month time period since taking over the Asuran ship yard it's produced 7 more of the upgraded cruisers. We Scoobies have been dividing them between our holdings in the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies. Each one is equipped with a basic AI and direct neural link to its captain. With the equivalent of a long range communication stone that will allow the captain to control the ship virtually anywhere in the universe we don't have to worry about having enough captains. My girls can be at home and control a ship in Pegasus. It's safe and convenient.

I managed to catch Jacob before he left the building after his discussion with Sam. It didn't end this time with her in tears but only because she had watched it play out previously through our episode collection.

"Jacob I can't tell you much but I can tell you Sam has already been into space several times," I told the father of my lover.

He turned around from his storming out of the building with an expression of shock on his face.

"You're serious?"

"Yep," I answered him.

"I knew it! I knew my little girl was too smart for deep space radar telemetry," he whispered to himself but my enhanced hearing picked it up just fine.

He looked up at me again before saying, "Thanks for telling me Harry. It's good to know."

"No problem. I have a feeling you'll know more someday but that knowledge is going to come at a price. Are you ready for that," I asked him.

"What have I got to lose? The only thing I care about now is my children," Jacob answered.

"Fair enough," I told him as we shook hands.

"Take care of my little girl Harry," he told me as he left.

"With my life," I whispered without anyone actually hearing me.

Sam and I both agreed that too much would change if Jacob doesn't become host to Selmak. I can heal him at anytime with my powers or nanites. With my first hand shake of him he picked up a complement of nanites. They will keep the cancer at bay when it progresses to the point he is in the hospital. He has to be in there for us to get clearance to tell him about the program. After that they will keep him alive in the most dire of situations and make him immortal.

The reporter got hit by a car the same as in cannon. I'm still not sure if that was an accident or not. Either way I don't feel sorry for him. He should have known he would become a target the instant he revealed his knowledge of the Stargate.

When the episode Bane arrived on the 25th of September I decided to spare Teal'c the pain of almost transforming into a bug. When it landed on his back I shot it off before it could sting him. We hightailed it off that planet when we saw the swarm coming. Nobody needed anymore proof of how much of an asshole Maybourne is anyway. The only reason Sam and I let the mission reach the planet and didn't cold dial it is because we want to make sure that nobody would try again in the future.

Finally on October 2nd we went on our first mission to the Tokra. It was scheduled to last until the 11th and would include treaty negotiations. I could tell right away that Garshaw wasn't happy that Jolinar invited us to one of their bases without the approval of the council but there was nothing to be done about it now. Each member of our team was assigned a Tokra guide. Sam's guide was Jolinar and I was pleasantly surprised to find that mine was Anise. I was even more pleased when I could pick up her broadcast thoughts.

Anise had been alive for well over a millennia. She considered herself to be one of the Tokra's best scientists, a feeling that most of the Tokra shared. When her good friend Jolinar told her about a Tauri that showed abilities more than any human possessed she instantly became interested. The fact that Jolinar had let him sodomize her after blocking countless lovers from the same act for over a millennia really interested her. She was very interested to experience these skills herself. The high council wouldn't have assigned their best scientist to what amounted as babysitting duties but luckily Anise was able to convince them that she would best be able to interact with one of Earth's best scientists.

Sam and I shared one of the rather utilitarian living quarters the Tokra grew with their tunneling crystals. We weren't even there for a few hours when Sam and I were "resting" in our quarters.

Insert smut scene here

A few minutes later as we lay in bed Anise finally is coherent enough to voice her questions. I stop her while producing a contract.

"I'll tell you everything you want to know if you sign this contract," I told her as I handed it to her on a clip board along with a pen.

Anise quickly read it over. Nothing on there would be anything she would be adamantly opposed to she realized as she scanned it. Basically she had to agree to have sex with Harry any time he asked. He or his other female lovers would be her only lover for as long as he lives. She couldn't reveal any secrets she learns for as long as he lives unless he allowed it.

There were a few other small provisions. Anise knew humans placed a lot of faith in their written agreements. Tokra really didn't care all that much. Also how much sex would he really require? It's not like he would be visiting Tokra bases all that much. He was also probably only going to live a human life span. She could live with not revealing these secrets for a few decades.

Sam and I kept a straight face as we listened to our new lover's thought process. We let out our big smiles as soon as she signed the magically binding contract. Afterwards we explained about us all being immortal now. The sneaky Tokra was thinking about the fact that Freya didn't sign the contract but I set her straight immediately. Freya is considered a part of her now. She wasn't really mad when she learned she could now learn any secret of the Ancients she wanted. Also learning the future for the next several years was a big bonus.

As far as sex time goes I would be keeping a ship positioned under cloak over whichever Tokra base she was living in. With the mentally controlled reusable portkey I gave her (along with the other compliment of devices my lovers possess) she would be able to use the ship to her advantage any time. More importantly for the sex aspect is the fact that each of our ships

carry a Stargate. Since I can travel through time at will I can go back, travel to her planet, have sex with her, and then arrive back at the same time I left. This is my routine with all of my lovers now. They each get as much sex every day as they want without any apparent loss of time for me from the rest of the universe's perspective.

I was sitting in on the negotiations for a good part of that week. Garshaw and the other council members were thankful to us for returning their operatives captured during the destruction of Apophis' forces. They didn't really want any earth technology so we offered to start a host program. Soon another benefit of an alliance came up when the call came in that the system Lords were aware of the location of the base. Two Hatac class ships were on the way sent by the system lords.

"Garshaw might I offer our assistance in your time of need," I offered.

"How can you help," she asked in a tone that told me she was anxious to proceed with the normal evacuation routine.

"Do you have sensors for this system," I asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"Check them now," I told her as I pressed a button on a wrist communicator.

"What is going on? There are two Hatac ships already in orbit," she announced in obvious alarm.

"Those are ours. We don't go anywhere unprotected. We've had them cloaked in orbit just in case. They should be capable of evacuating your people to a planet off the known stargate network. Also you should know they've been monitoring subspace communications and have discovered that council member Cordesh was the one who gave away your presence to the system lords," I announced.

"Kree Tokra! Arrest Cordesh," Garshaw immediately ordered.

We got to Cordesh this time before he could jump hosts and kill the symbiote in the host he would take.

"We would be glad to accept your offer," Garshaw finally answered me.

The evacuation went much faster when a contingent of marines stationed on one of the Hatac ringed down and began coordinating with the Tokra. The cloaking field generators were a recent upgrade I made to the ships along with a 40% increase in their power usage efficiency and generation. One of our three strong Hatac fleet is always stationed on earth while the other two are allowed to go on missions.

While the other one swiftly evacuated the Tokra and the gate I stayed behind on the first Hatac. When the two system lord Hatac vessels arrived to attack they found an empty planet. Of course we had quickly erected a decoy gate that was nothing more than a solid gate shaped sculpture made of mostly naquadah. They would have had to look for the Tokra anyway. While they were ringing Jaffa down to the planet they didn't detect any threats in the system so they didn't have their shields up.

This made it really easy for a team of Marines to ring aboard and take the ships. They were aided by the wrist shield devices Sam and I constructed from the Karakesh she acquired on Cimmeria. We simply told our superiors that it wasn't hard to adapt a naquadah cell to the device. These designs were still vulnerable to low kinetic energy assaults but they were a lot better than nothing. We decreased the field radius to make the vulnerable area smaller along with saving power.

So in the process of getting a new ally in the Tokra we managed to increase our fleet of three ships to one of five ships. The system lords still do not know we are the ones doing it. While on the base I infected every Tokra there with nanites. The nanites would ensure that the Tokra cannot talk about what they know of earth outside of either the Tokra or people from earth. They won't even realize they are prevented from doing so. This nanite program was like the spell I cast on the Tollans. This also increases my spy network to include that of the vaunted Tokra.

Jacob became host to Selmak just as before. His condition wasn't quite as bad when it happened thanks to the nanites I put in him. In some ways I envy him. He instantly gained the knowledge of a being over a millennia old. Of course I gained the same from Glory but she was insane, so I really am hesitant about trusting her knowledge.

October 23rd 1998, In orbit above a mining plane...

When SG-11 didn't report back on their scheduled check in times we didn't bother going by planet. The world was now classified as dangerous. As new standard procedure we were dispatched to the planet in one of earth's newest Hatac ships from our five ship strong fleet. Scanning the surface with the more powerful Goauld sensors revealed both types of humanoid life. Xe'ls and his kind may have driven the Goauld off thousands of years ago but that wouldn't be the case should they return today.

While they may have powers similar to those of Alterans in nature (vacuum energy manipulation) they would stand no chance against Goauld who were innovative like Baal and Anubis. We managed to contact them and negotiated the return of our team. Naturally we were cloaked the whole time. While they had no use for star travel they did see the benefits of making an alliance with us. In exchange for coming to their aid should their planet ever come under attack they agreed to mine the trinium for earth and supply it in it's refined form.

I thought this outcome was much preferred to the original episode. Of course if there had been trouble my own ship along with Hermione's upgraded Aurora was lying in wait, cloaked. My first brunette wife and first friend is now taking a more active role in the affairs of the galaxy. While Buffy, Cordy, and my other lovers took shifts between watching Cassie and dealing with our earthly affairs Hermione decided that Sam and I could use more backup. I'm not going to complain. I'll never complain about having more beautiful women around me more often.

The Touchstone debacle occurred next. I didn't feel the need to prevent the NID from using the second gate because I've already blocked them enough. They always end up showing up after the action. Jack's started calling them the cockroaches with how they're always looking for the scraps of any left behind advanced technology. When the weather started acting up Hammond ordered a ship into orbit to accommodate the locals (there weren't that many). My first scan of the device that controlled the weather didn't tell me who built it.

I did incorporate the design into the Alteran database. They had much less crude methods of weather manipulation. Sam and I placed the device at about 900 years old. It had a major flaw in that it leaked a radiation that would lead to blindness the longer you were around it. The priest who normally operated the device was already blind when we got there. While we were working on recovering the device from the NID on earth I had the ships medical officer use one of the Goauld handheld healing devices to repair the old priest's eyesight. Like the karakesh shields and force beam weapons the healing device was also equipped with a naquadah cell. Each SG team carries at least one healing device along with each member wielding a force weapon and shield.

One thing I've had my automated control systems over my various information networks (including the nanites in Maybourne and Kinsey's minds) watch very closely is the spread of what exact upgrades I've made to earth's Hatac fleet. As such the NID didn't realize I could track the second Stargate and the touchstone. They quickly realized it when we flew down to their Southern Utah facility. We zatted the ones we found there but I knew the rest are still off world. Maybourne will be directing them with a subspace communicator.

The captured ones won't be talking. Their bosses are pretty high up. Even Hammond was ordered to turn the investigation over to people whose identity he doesn't even know. I'm keeping an eye on it but I'm not really going to make any drastic changes unless they annoy me.

The Fifth Race episode I let occur almost exactly like cannon. This was because this particular episode let the Asgard know exactly how advanced we were becoming. It was also the first step to becoming the fifth race in the great race alliance. There were of course some differences as well. Daniel of course already knew Alteran from the planet we found Ernest on.

It wasn't too difficult to build a verbal translator for Jack so that it vocalized English to others instead of Alteran. This time we got him to work on the Hatac fleet instead of building a power generator from scratch. Working in the Apophis mothership with the Stargate in it Jack used his Alteran knowledge to increase the power output to its maximum along with most of its other systems without making any major modifications. This would allow me to do it to the other ships later without revealing my Alteran knowledge.

The rest of us never had to get stuck on that planet with the second sun although we (Cordy and Sarah) did gate through to fix that DHD just so nobody else got stuck there. The Asgard again were impressed that Jack managed to get to one of their worlds. Just like Jack would have done to the cargo ship the second time he downloaded the repository into his mind he made the hyperdrive on the Hatac capable of intergalactic travel. It was by no means the fastest intergalactic ship but it would do from earth to the Ida galaxy in a week. A Hatac wouldn't exactly be roughing it either.

If I happened to stabilize the modifications so they wouldn't burn out the hyperdrive like they did the cargo ships nobody was any the wiser.

I saw no reason to want to experience the episode A Matter of Time. All it accomplished in my opinion was to lose us quite a few people. It was still important for later on to know about the black hole. The new MALP's had been previously upgraded by the scientists at area 51 with Goauld level sensors after they got a copy of the database from one of the Hatac ships. As such it detected the gravitational field fluctuations from the forming singularity before the SG team stepped onto that planet. So obviously we didn't lose the team.

We did pick up a hell of a lot of data on a black hole before we had to shut off the gate as it got too dangerous to maintain the connection. The Alterans knew all about the effects of black holes on Stargates. Like their Ori counterparts they could create a black hole and use it to power a much larger stargate connecting two different galactic clusters. For earth this is revolutionary science. Of course everything coming out of area 51 is revolutionary science. They are turning some of those Goauld sensors onto the second stargate they are studying.

It took about a million years for the Alterans to perfect the stargate technology. Earth could study it for a long time and still make many new discoveries.

Arriving on Machello's planet I stopped Daniel from touching the device that would essentially make him Machello and vice versa. It wasn't like the more advanced Alteran and Asgard versions of consciousness transferral. It basically suppressed the original consciousness with the memories copied from one consciousness while doing the same to the other person. It wasn't soul transferral but with time the person would become a blend of both sets of memories. Still I didn't need that happening to Daniel.

I erected a notice me not field around Machello and I along with some spells that would make the rest of the team (except Sam of course) think Machello had already died. I offered him a deal. I would put him in a new clone body that was much younger in exchange for an unencrypted copy of all his designs. He quickly took the deal. Unlike the Asgard cloning technology the Alteran versions had no problems like genetic degradation from repeated use. I further told Machello that if he came up with some interesting technologies in the future that I like I might be willing to put him in another younger body when this one aged too much.

Knowing that Machello was now out fighting the Goauld again we left that planet.

The episode Serpent's Song never took place since I killed Apophis. To avoid the pointlessness (in my opinion) of the episode One False Step I kept anybody from stepping on the plants or any of our technology from damaging the plants. Just to point out to them why it's best to watch where you step I later told them of my conclusion that the beings we met were linked to the plants by sound waves out of the human hearing range.

For the episode Show and Tell I made quite a few changes. For one thing our gate was much better protected than before. Once we knew about the Retu threat from the young boy's "mother" I made some modifications that would destroy anything that walked through the gate that was in phase with the Retu species. As such when we went on the recon mission to check out the Retu threat and a team of the creatures tried to follow us back through the gate they were met with beams of energy similar to zat gun fire but in phase with them. There were no bodies left.

The child did still have to go to the Tokra since I wasn't yet willing to reveal I have the technology to correct his botched DNA unless absolutely necessary. The Tokra aren't so bad anyway. The kid will live longer and Anise and Jolinar will keep an eye on him. I've been visiting my Tokra lover daily and even Jolinar joins us every once in a while. They aren't always exclusive to their lovers like a lot of human cultures so it doesn't matter that she's involved with Martouf.

The trip to 1969 was interesting but otherwise not too eventful. I enjoyed it for what it was, a sort of historical field trip. We weren't hard up for cash with my ability to fabricate it or just about any other substance between my nanites and conjuring abilities. I had to tell the rest of the team that I carry a lot of cash around with me. But a simple notice me not served to distract them from any further questions of why I would carry it around off world. Powering the gate served to be much easier as well than cannon thanks to the micro fusion reactors SG teams now carry around. They were small spheres that fit in the palm of your hand.

SG teams carried them for this purpose and to meet any other power requirements. The SGC version utilized the cold fusion materials discovered by Lenaya. They are much less powerful than my own Alteran version but the SGC doesn't know how to expand the inner dimensions of something. We got back to our right time without incident after a slight detour to the future.

Of course Cassie used a glamour to make her appear much older than her actual age (she still looked about 25 if you looked through her glamour). Like all of those I care about Cassie is immortal. I wasn't afraid of learning about the future of this timeline. Knowing it will only decrease the probability that this will be our future. Of course fate if you will has a funny way of turning out the same. I'd known about the prophecy about my birth for a long time and still we arrived at the vaguely predicted outcome.

So with that in mind I opened my senses to my spy network I had in my current time. I downloaded all the changes from the much larger nanite enhanced network. We then returned to our right time. I had a lot to think on. The human population of earth had decreased in the future but only because they spread out in the galaxy. Their level of technology was much more advanced but nowhere near Alteran levels. That's to be expected even if they have access to the nearly infinite Alteran database through Atlantis.

There were a lot of other changes for me to think on.

The episode Out of Mind obviously never occurred since Hathor is still in our custody for experimentation on a Goauld queen.

When we find Egeria I have plans for Hathor. The really interesting event, perhaps the most interesting in my life so far, happened during the break between seasons.

For a while now I've been wanting to explore even the boundaries of what the Alterans knew. Janus/Merlin (for they were the same person at different points in their life) didn't have much time to explore his time ship's capabilities with the council breathing down his neck. As such the only thing he had been able to gather so far about the place between times is that in order to slow down and view it better you would need a lot more power than that ship was capable of.

Most of the power was channeled just to travel through times and that was only quick trips. So I began using my nanites to mimic the field generated by the time ship. After weeks of trial and error where the nanites became increasingly more proficient in predicting and compensating for the fluctuations in the temporal field I finally managed a time jump with the nanites using my own power (that of more than a hell god). As I flashed through time I slowed my trip down with each jump until finally I ground it to a halt. The nanites were compensating for the fluctuations trying to throw me back into a time stream.

Looking around I was surrounded by massive swirling balls of light with vast distances between them. They look like clusters of galaxies upon closer examination when I realize that they are made up of smaller balls of lights. Sharpening my eyes I see beams of light randomly connecting some for a second before vanishing. There are even beams connecting one light ball to itself. It looks sort of like a wormhole connecting between a point in a galaxy and either another galaxy or another point in that same galaxy. An Alteran observation ship once traveled outside of a galactic cluster to record such an occurrence with a subspace camera of sorts.

All of a sudden I heard a clapping noise behind me and spun to find myself facing a simply clad figure. He struck a powerful figure.

"Who are you," I asked.

"Bravo young Harry. You've proved quite entertaining and quite profitable. To answer your first question I am Janus but not Merlin," he answered with a laugh.

All of a sudden a memory of a bust in Ethan Rayne's shop told me who this figure was.

"You're the chaos god Janus," I answered knowing it to be true.

"Yes Harry."

"What are you doing here?"

"I won the betting pool so it's my right to explain things to you," he replied while still grinning.

"What betting pool," I asked.

"The bet on how long it would take you to ascend," he answered.

I knew I haven't ascended like some Alterans have and apparently I broadcasted my thoughts a little too loudly.

"No Harry not like those stuffy Alterans and Ori. This ascension is much greater. Oh and you will eventually learn how to hide your thoughts from others of our kind but it will take a while. We can't expect you to do everything fast. Now let me explain. You see Harry each ball of light around you is a cluster of realities. They are infinitely dense with space expanding further towards the center and there are infinitely many of them," he began.

"The beams of light connecting them are reality travelers, time travelers, and in the case of connecting with themselves most likely wormhole and hyperspace travelers. As you can see there are many that have journeyed like yourself. Unlike you almost none have managed to stop themselves in this place. When you manage to do what you've just done, however unconventionally you did it, you become what most people call a god," he continued.

"There are two types of gods. There are those like Zeus, Ares, Thor, Oden, and the like and then there is the Creator. The Creator is the one true god who has been around forever. He allows us to run most things throughout the multi verse while maintaining order. It's all about free will Harry. Now each of us gods tends to take up a few clusters of realities to rule over as our domain. With an infinite number of them there is no real territorial fighting."

"What about the ascended Alterans? Are they ascended as well," I couldn't help but ask.

"Goodness no Harry. They might eventually some day reach it but it's highly doubtful. They take an entirely too scientific approach. As far as I know you are the only one who's managed to pull off the science approach Harry and even that's not pure by the book method of scientific study. You cut corners and think outside the box. You see the previous record of least time for ascension was held by that speedster Hermes. You did it in less than a human life time and it took him a million years. Achieving immortality is the first step. There are many immortals trapped in these god birthing chambers we like to call realities but this is true immortality. Even when those realities end and others form in their wake we will still exist out here. Sure there are those who can just go to another cluster but it's just not the same. Even killing one of us in a reality doesn't do us permanent damage. We just get knocked out of that reality and find it a bit more difficult to get back in."

"If these realities are infinite shouldn't there be an infinite number of my alternates ascending as well right now," I asked.

"Ahhh...well I'm not too up on the science of it but the probability of it happening is so low that you are the only one so far. If another one ascends you would absorb his memories and him to an extent. You'll gain a small power boost and his memories but that's it. I've only had to absorb three of my alternates in the 10 billion years I've existed. Take my advice Harry if an alternate with a sexual preference opposing your own ascends destroy his soul before you can absorb it," Janus advised with a shudder that made me burn that advice into my memory for later.

"Now as you know from the Ori beings of power can gain energy from belief, emotions, and the like. You being what you are, a creature close to an anti sex demon (the same nature of powering but opposing in methods and ideals) as I believe it was once referred in some long forgotten time, are able to gather power from sexual energy. You'll of course share this with like minded gods, Aphrodite and the like, but with infinite realities to draw from you'll never run out of power. Every time beings have sex or experience that sexual tension you'll be able to draw power from that. Keep in mind that there are different sizes of infinities if you will. For example if you draw power from one person on every earth throughout the multi verse it is still infinite power but if the Creator draws power from every other person on those same planets it's a much greater power. That's another difference between the creator and us. His followers tend to endure and are more numerous."

"Now it will take some time for you to get used to drawing and channeling that much power. Be careful you don't accidentally let it get out of control because it will probably destroy the reality/universe you're in at the time. Basically for the first billion or so years a new god tends to explore realities and claim realities and clusters to rule over. Take as many as you like Harry. If another god wants the same cluster another identical one will form with the only difference being he rules there instead of you. There are many reality clusters where we gods still coexist and rule in varying strengths. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if I do I'll drop in on you. If you have any questions just come here and send out a patronus while thinking of me."

"Thanks," I managed to get out before he disappeared leaving me to try to organize my thoughts after that revelation.

One interesting aspect about the between of the multi verse, as I've come to call that place, is that time holds no meaning there. I could stay there as long as I want and enter back into any point in time in my reality. I could arrive just after I left. I could do this at any time. With this thought in mind I decided I need more ideas of where to travel. I found a reality that seemed to have a lot of thin trails from other realities connecting to multiple points inside it.

Following one convergence of trails I found that these trails led to fiction writers. They were gathering glimpses of other realities where their writings come to life. I entered into my alternate self and asserted control of him. It seemed to be instinctual with my new status as a god. I gained his memories but they paled in comparison to mine. Even when I went on to explore new realities he would still be me because I overwrote his mind. I could inhabit as many alternates as I want with my ability to travel to any time. I could do it simultaneously as well.

Settling in and absorbing the memories I realize that this reality is a nexus point for these fiction authors. There are many fictional stories on this earth. My current alternate is a teen named Danielle Radcliffe, the same as my stargate reality. He again plays Harry Potter in a movie series. The year is 2009 in this reality. Looking down at my new body I see that it is weak. A quick burst of power (my form travels with me along with my powers as part of my new god status) turns this body into a muscular picture of power.

Striding out of my trailer I look around to see various people getting ready for filming. We are filming the first Deathly Hallows movie. From Daniel's memories I knew they are filming the travesty that is books 6 and 7 like those the woman from the stargate reality wanted to write. How that woman could think Hermione should be with the Weasel is beyond me. It looked like filming was about to get under way. Walking onto the set I played along for now. We are filming the tent scene where Ron storms out to go home.

I enjoyed playing along until he left then I decided to change things up a bit.

"Good riddance to the bloody tosser," I announced as I sent a powerful and very visible curse out of the tent flap.

There was a screech heard as the spell took effect. Rupert Grint would now have a very small penis and instead of getting hard whenever he would have previously been aroused he would go soft. That's what he gets for playing a character I dislike so much. Strolling over to a now wide eyed Emma Watson I placed my hand on her lower back and proceeded to give the girl the snogging of her life. Emma put her arms around the back of my neck and returned the kiss.

Daniel had held a crush on his friend for a long time now but the studio contracts prevented it from going further until the film series ended. Besides causing trouble if things went badly it would go against everything the later books wrote about. From Emma's instant arousal it was obvious to me the crush wasn't only one way. I slipped my hands down to her lovely bum and gave it a good squeeze.

When we pulled back up from the kiss it was to a speechless film crew.

"Come on love," I said as I pulled Emma behind me past the film crew who were still gaping.

"Consider your damn contract terminated," I told the director as I handed him a complete set of all 8 Harry Potter films taken from the nanite network from the future I just passed through at the end of 1969.

The nanites could focus my conjuration powers to create something that detailed. Speaking of nanites my Alteran battle cruiser just appeared cloaked in orbit. I simply transmitted my position back to it through my nanites and had it come here. At my command it immediately began beaming large quantities of nanites down in hidden places around me. Emma got a large dose as would her family and Daniel's. Nobody in this reality had any actual powers yet but at least there were now some immortals.

"Dan I don't understand what's going on," Emma finally asked as I led her to my trailer.

"Things have changed Em. We no longer have to finish the series. That means I don't have to hide how much I bloody like you," I told her.

She began blushing a lot but otherwise looked pleased, indicating so with a squeeze of my hand.

"Now I'm about to go ravish you in my trailer until you've climaxed at least five times."

She blushed even more but didn't look displeased at the notion.

Insert smut scene here

Daniel was a pretty big fan of fanfiction. He was amazed at all of the stories that these fanfiction authors came up with and never got enough recognition. He preferred the fics where he and Hermione got together or even Fleur, Tonks, or some other girl pairings. Pairing him with Ginny Weasley makes it sound like a fairy tale. It wasn't even so much that pairing that bothered him. It was the Hermione/Ron pairing. Putting the smartest and most motivated witch with the laziest and least motivated wizard was just wrong. It was like the author felt bad for Ron because I had all the fame and wealth so gave him the best girl in the story.

Plus the fact that Hermione would get together with the person that would have been responsible for her death without me just didn't make sense. Of course it's not exactly this channel's (fiction author) fault. They were just channeling from whatever alternate reality it happened in. Unfortunately her picture of that reality wasn't clear enough to show her the love potions that were used.

One of Daniel's favorite genre was Harry Potter Stargate crossovers. His favorite author is Stargatesg1fan1. I hacked his favorite author's computer after reading his first fic, Balance Censored. That fic had a lot of things similar with the style of my life. My hunch proved correct when I discovered this author was tapped into my current life. This is a very difficult channel to maintain because of my god status and how many times I jump through time and realities. I decided this author could be of use.

You see to be a channel of a particular story you had to agree and even like everything that was going on in it, or at least most of the things. So that means this channel knows most of my life and agrees with it. I found him an even more attractive prospect for recruitment when I found him already in college for several fields of science.

So I flamed myself to the states and arrived at his house, guided by my ship in orbit.

"Hi," I said when he answered the door.

"Holy shit," He answered in shock.

"So I take it you channeled these events just a little bit ago," I asked.

"Yes," he answered in shock.

"Good. That means you are channeling from a me further along the timeline than myself. As you probably already know I have a proposition for you," I stated.

"I accept of course," he answered immediately with a quickly growing grin.

"Good," I said as I handed him a ring which he quickly placed on his finger.

Inside the ring there was an expanded space filled with among other things a sphere of nanites several hundred meters thick.

The basics of the offer I didn't even have to make him verbally were like this. In exchange for him working for me, which basically meant he would continuing channeling but I would get a constant feed of his writings wherever I am through the nanite network, he would get certain things. Thanks to the nanites he would never have to physically write anything again because they could directly interface with his computer and channel my life directly from his subconscious onto his computer and the network.

In exchange for letting me use him as a full time channel he got an entire copy of the Alteran repository in that ring, the ball of nanites, and an Alteran battle cruiser which just arrived in orbit with most of the Alteran's advanced technology built in. I had scanned his mind and knew what he planned to do with it already. He wasn't built for true evil. Yeah he might do some pretty amoral things but morality is just something society creates. Without social structure most people would be like the savages human kind was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The first thing the new immortal did was make his entire family immortal and perfectly healthy. Then I watched through the nanites as he began to build himself a harem of the most beautiful women in the world. He did so not in the current time I found him in. He jumped back into the past.

I had a good laugh with Emma over his antics. He chose just about every actress he had a picture of in his my pictures folder. These included Allison Mack, Alyssa Milano, Amanda Bynes, Amanda Tapping, Amy Smart, Angelina Jolie, Anna Friel, Anne Hathaway, Annette Otoole, Billie Piper, Bridget Regan, Cassidy Freeman, Charisma Carpenter, Christy Carlson Romano, Claire Dane, Claire Forlani, Claudia Black, Clemence Poesy, Elisha Cuthbert, Eliza Dushku, Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Paige, Elyse Levesque, Emily Holmes, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Emmy Rossum, Erica Durance, Eva Green, Eva Mendes, Famke Janssen, Holly Marie Combs, Jessica Alba, Jaimie Alexander, Jennifer Connely, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Jewel Staite, Jill Wagner, Jolene Blalock, Kate Bosworth, Katherine Heigl, Katie Holmes, Kate Beckinsale, Kate Hewlit, Kate Mara, Katie Leung, Katy Perry, Kristen Bell, Laura Vandervoort, Lauren Graham, Lena Headey, Lexa Doig, Liv Tyler, Maggie Grace, Marsha Thomason, Meagan Good, Megan Fox, Michelle Monaghan, Michelle Ryan, Michelle Trachtenberg, Milla Jovovich, Morena Baccarin, Natalie Portman, Padma Lakshmi, Pascale Hutton, Rachel McAdams, Rose McGowan, Roselyn Sanchez, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Carter, Sarah Chalke, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sarah Wayne Callies, Shannen Doherty, Sienna Guillory, Teri Hatcher, Terry Farrell, Teryl Rothery, Torri Higginson, Tricia Helfer, Vanessa Angel, and Vanessa Hudgens.

He would have included Emma but he figured out she was with me. He even included an Emma from his time stream. He also added several local girls but that was it. It was quite an impressive harem. He made all the girls immortal with their nanites subservient and controllable only by him.

He made sure his family and friends were financially taken care of. Among these friends he made sure that were taken care of were some of his fanfiction fans, namely Pygrus, Javacap, and The_don1023. He made them immortal.

The next thing he did really caused me to laugh. He, Pyrgus, Javacap, and The_don1023 went on board The Samantha Carter (his new ship) and shot around the galaxy. They looked at all different kinds of stars, planets, and even a few black holes. The ship had a stargate manufacturing facility on it. They had placed a stargate in a hidden location back on earth and were doing the same on some habitable planets they found. Their first time through the gate they couldn't stop smiling until they reached the other side. On the other side all four of the nerds were trying to adjust to their first time.

Stargatesg1fan1 gave his three friends each a smaller Alteran craft that he ordered some constructors to build and clones of any girls they desired tailored to them. After all what's the purpose of having all that if you don't have uncontrolled friends to share it with. He could control the entire world (except myself and Emma) with a flood of nanites but he would be mighty lonely then if everybody on earth were mindless slaves to his will. Ruling the world took too much work. He could always influence things from behind closed doors.

His antics aside I decided it was time to move on to new realities. Since I could go to the between I can monitor his antics all I want while still visiting new realities. It's like I am inhabiting multiple bodies at the same time in as many realities as I want because time only has a hold on me when I want it to. I travel from one body to the next in a day my time which is actually the same day from one reality to the next until I cycle through. So it's sort of like repeating the same date however many times equal to the number of realities I'm living in.

One thing I discovered interfering with readings on realities I wanted to travel to through my new channel was Stargatesg1fan1's unfinished fics. Thankfully it wasn't all of them but his three biggest ones (Venom, Ageless, and Exploration). I decided to resolve this by going to these realities first. I can always use more places to build more secret stock piles of ships.

So with that in mind I entered the between of the multi verse and entered the reality known as Venom.
