AN: Here we finish up the Exploration Reality and go through the Stargate season 3. Season 3 is short but the Stargate seasons will get much longer. Next chapter will start the cross with Star Trek Enterprise, a very interesting cross. If you don't know much about the series I suggest and Wikipedia for aids. Although I've written it in a way that I don't think much explanation is needed.

Chapter 14

The next day Harry teleported himself into Minister Bones' office around noon when his sensors told him she was alone.

She appeared startled before quickly composing herself.

"I'm sorry for startling you minister but I felt we should have a little chat after the show I put on last night."

"Mr. Potter? You don't look like you did last night. Do you care to explain that?"

"Well Madam the crowd expected to see a spitting image of James Potter except for a lightning bolt shaped scar and killing curse green eyes. I figured that giving them what they expected would make it easier to project my Merlin like image so that I could get changes made at a faster pace."

"So I'm assuming it was some type of illusion but with your proclamation that you used no magic I'm assuming it wasn't a glamour charm. I'm relieved that I didn't misconstrue your likeness to the legends of Merlin."

"Yes I used no magic in my tasks last night. It would actually be more accurate to say that if you go by the definition of magic I have never performed any magic in my life. You see Madam Minister what we witches and wizards call magic is actually a very powerful form of higher dimensional energy."

At her shocked look Harry decided to go with the seeing is believing approach to give her further proof.

"If you'll take my hand Madam I will show you an example of what I'm talking about."

It looked like she was rather reluctant but she did take Harry's hand and he promptly teleported her to the bridge of the Lily which was cloaked in a high orbit. After the usual shocked reactions at the sight of earth from space Harry explained to Amelia Bones about the threat of the Goauld.

"Why are you telling me this Harry? The wizarding world is ill equipped to deal with any of this information."

"I'm telling you for two reasons. The first is because I believe you are well suited to move the wizarding world into the modern age where they will be suited for this information. The second is because if things progress as they are you will soon probably be considered family. My god brother is quite taken with your niece. To continue with that point I feel comfortable with giving you these devices. Neville is giving Susan the same devices as we speak and is also explaining the galactic situation to her."

Harry gave her all of the devices that were standard issue on the mars base and showed her how to use them after exchanging binding oaths never to betray each other. Harry felt it was now a good idea to exchange such oaths with all of your friends. The oaths were worded in such a way that only a betrayal that would result in the death of your friend would exact its toll. This kept any Pettigrew situations from repeating themselves.

"I suspect you're going to receive an invitation along with Susan to spend Christmas with my extended family on a planet I've set up called the Lily oasis. I should mention that my extended family includes Frank and Alice Longbottom."

Of course Harry had to explain how and why he faked their deaths.

"The Lily oasis is one of the reasons I look so mature for my chronological age. I have it set up so that 1 week on earth would be 1 year on the oasis planet. You need not worry about physically aging with the philosopher's ring I just gave you. In fact if you'll step over here I'll show you a little surprise."

Harry led Amelia into a room adjoining the bridge of the Lily that had what looked like a normal set of rings but was actually a larger sized conjurer with some special features. This conjurer was designed to conjure a clone body at any age between birth and the present age of the being, transfer the soul to the new body, and turn the old body into stored energy. It all happened so fast that all the being experienced was a moment of disorientation. Harry activated the device when Amelia was in place.

Amelia Bones went to school with Harry's parents so was the same age of about 35 or so as Sirius and Remus. Harry decided to knock 15 years off. When the rings settled back into the floor someone who appeared as a more attractive mature version of Susan Bones stood before Harry.

"Harry what did you just do?"

Harry answered by conjuring a full length mirror in front of the physically 20 year old woman.

"I reverted your physical age back to when you were 20 so that you could select what age you wanted to appear. I didn't know if you wanted to spend the rest of your life in that form but if you want I can change it back at any time."

Her response was very unlike what would be expected for a minister of magic. She squealed and jumped him in a bone crushing hug while thanking him profusely.

"You can appear in any form you want thanks to the holographic field projector I gave you. So you don't have to worry about being recognized as minister."

With that out of the way they went back to discussing the wizarding world.

"My suggestion would be to start with Hogwarts. The muggle studies curriculum needs to be brought up to the current times. It also needs to be expanded to teach the mundane sciences and mathematics. You'll need to have it made mandatory for all Hogwarts students. I would also suggest having occlumency be instituted as a mandatory subject. I would discard divination except for those who actually test positive for the talent, in which case a 2 year course will suffice instead of a 4 year one."

"You should find that now that the dark elements have been weeded out of society your way should be a lot easier to pursue these goals. You will also find the support of the Black, Longbottom, and Potter houses in the wizenmagot. All of the rest will follow their lead."

Harry had already explained the extraterrestrial origins of wizard kind as the gate builder race to Amelia.

"I don't expect wizard kind to make a galactic appearance as the gate builder race for many years but that doesn't mean that in the event that I fail to protect earth that they can't be the last defense. I find it hard to imagine any enemy that could survive against a large number of highly trained wizards and witches that board their ships."

"I'll do my best Harry to prepare our world."

"You certainly won't be alone Amelia."

The next few years Harry and his extended family spent developing technologies and keeping the Goauld's attention away from earth. The current plan was to keep the Goauld from noticing earth until they could develop a level of technology that allowed them to defend themselves or the mars group could destroy the Goauld in one attack.

The group ended up rescuing the host of a minor Goauld that hadn't been a host for very long. Her name was Vala Mal Doran. Most of the hosts of the system lords were over a thousand years old and were so far gone that they almost beyond help. There was a chance that if they were placed in the machine used on Amelia they could be put in a new body and have their soul turned back to before they were a host but that would require them to completely lose all memory of after they became a host. In any case any such actions were unlikely at present considering they would draw the attentions of the other system lords.

Q'Tesh, the Goauld who took Vala prisoner, was minor enough that it didn't matter. At Vala's request any memories of what she did as a host were removed and placed in a memory storage device that she could access at any time if she chose. Sirius volunteered to spend 4 weeks galactic time with her at the Lily oasis. She was a good deal better recovered from her ordeal after she returned from the oasis and also happened to be in a very serious relationship with Sirius.

Four years field time spent together brought the pair rather closely together. Vala had reintegrated all of the less painful and more scientific memories of her time spent as a host. She knew a decent amount of Goauld science so she was approved to live on the mars base with all of the usual devices.

One of the most useful inventions to come out of the oasis and a long term project of Dan and Emma's was the creation of pill form potions. The benefits of potions that could be taken in pill form or injected directly into the blood stream were faster acting treatments, the potions lasted longer, and a longer shelf life. A lot of the potions that wizards used could cure a great deal of mundane illnesses, like cancer and other terminal illnesses.

Because the ingredients for potions were imbued with vacuum energy in their structure a different version of the conjurer had to be used in their creation. Vacuum energy was woven into their structure depending upon the waveform that was recorded from the "naturally" occurring ingredients. The conjurers were placed inside a building at the far side of the oasis island and set to make mass quantities of all different types of pills. The pills were then placed inside a stasis field that made sure they would stay fresh almost indefinitely for when they would be distributed on earth. That distribution would probably wait until earth made contact with the mars group as extraterrestrials so that it would be less likely that the vacuum energy on the pills could be traced back to wizard kind.

The earth scientists would detect unknown elements as ingredients but not the vacuum energy. If it was known that the pills were acquired from an extraterrestrial source then that would explain the unknown elements. If it was thought that the pills were from earth the scientists would delve deeper and deeper into the pills and possibly detect the vacuum energy. It was best not to chance that happening.

Another very useful technology that Harry and Hermione created was a type of personal ward that created a field around a being that filtered the radiation and air that got through to the being. It also filtered what they came into contact with. This ward had two purposes. The first was that it protected against any toxic gases or diseases. The second was that it also protected against harmful levels of radiation.

Another application of the ward came because it worked just as well in a vacuum to contain a breathable atmosphere, much like a bubblehead charm. It recycled the air so that the carbon dioxide was filtered out. With the application of temperature control charms to the ward it became a perfectly viable space suit without actually using any conventional form of a suit.

Life continued in a pattern for the mars group until it was interrupted in 1997 by sensors that Harry had targeted on earth. The sensors were specifically targeted on a facility that housed the stargate. By the time Harry got back from the oasis and examined the sensor readings most of the action was over. Communication could be rather difficult through a time dilation field.

It appeared the system lord Apophis had come through the earth gate and killed several air force soldiers and then taken another. The air force had sent a team back to Abydos in response where they discovered that Ra wasn't the only one of his kind. Harry finished reviewing the sensor logs with his bonded girlfriend just as earth was preparing to send a rescue mission through to Chulak. They had no idea that it was Chulak of course but that was where they were going.

Harry and Hermione were at a point in their bond where they could speak telepathically and share feelings, thoughts, and memories if they chose. It took a lot of concentration to do over a long distance but it was possible. They decided that they weren't going to intervene unless it looked like the situation got out of hand. Hermione would pilot the Lily cloaked into an orbit above Chulak with the James and her two other sister ships, the Padfoot and the Moony, standing by.

Harry geared up and then teleported down to the SGC embarkation room in Cheyenne mountain just as they were dialing the gate. Harry examined the members of the team that was designated SG-1. It consisted of Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Major Samantha Carter. The last member of the team gave Harry a very surprising feeling.

Harry wouldn't have recognized the feeling if it hadn't been for his bond with Hermione. The feeling he was getting from Major Carter was that of a forming soul bond like he had with Hermione. Among wizard kind bonds of various types were common. You were lucky if you could find a soul bond but it was almost unheard of to find 2 soul bonds in your lifetime.

From his studies of the magical world Harry had determined that a soul bond was the magical instincts way of telling you how compatible you were with someone. If you soul bonded with a person then they were likely a spouse for you in parallel future reality. You were so compatible that your subconscious could tell you would be an awesome match for spouses. It was considered the height of folly to ignore a soul bond. Harry would have to discuss the situation with Hermione at a later time. For now Harry would make sure to keep a close eye on Samantha Carter.

Harry invisibly followed the SG teams through the gate. As soon as he was on the other side Harry could sense Hermione in orbit on board the Lily.

"Hermione love, tell me what you think of this situation I now find myself in."

Harry sent her the memories of the soul bond he sensed in the gate room back on earth. She was quiet while she reviewed the memories before she reacted in a way that showed she could continue to surprise Harry even if they were bonded.

"Ha ha ha oh Harry…Only you could find yourself in a position such as this."

"I'm glad you find this situation so amusing Hermione. What do you suggest I do?"

"I should think that should be obvious Harry. Even though you would probably be content and happy to only be with me for the rest of our lives you could give Samantha Carter something that is a very precious gift. She could spend the rest of her life searching for her soul mate and never find him. As far as we know only wizard kind has the gift to detect their soul mates with such a level of certainty. This is probably part of the reason that polygamy is allowed in the wizarding world. You're allowed to have more than one wife Lord Potter. Besides we are immortal for all intents and purposes and it would be nice to have some variety. She must be pretty close in a lot of ways to me if she is a soul match."

"Now see that is further proof of why I love you Hermione. You always put things into perspective for me so that I make the right decision. I can definitely see some similarities between you two. You both are incredibly intelligent and beautiful. Not to mention that you are both endowed with an amazing ass."

"Never change Harry," Hermione replied to her ass loving boyfriend.

Harry's concentration was brought back to the present as they reached the Chulak temple. He was communing with Hermione all of this time while the group walked. They were currently in the guise of temple priests as they sat down at a table in the main temple hall. Harry had to suppress a sigh at the cluelessness displayed by SG-1. Temple priests meant that they were all male. A priestess would never be dressed as they were so it was only a matter of time before somebody called them on their chosen guise.

They ended up revealing themselves when Apophis revealed his new queen, Amonet. The host of Amonet happened to be Sharai, Daniel Jackson's wife. Luckily SG-1 was just taken to the holding cell with the others who were taken to be chosen from for the host selection ceremony. Harry just activated the field that was developed from replicator the time turner technology and traveled back a few hours and went searching for the sergeant that was chosen as a potential host.

He ended up finding her waiting her turn to be inspected. Harry scanned her and cloned her within the PD of his conjurer. Harry performed a switching spell that replaced the sergeant with her clone. The clone of course had no soul so Harry cast an imperius on her to direct her actions. He directed her actions based off of what reactions he took from the real sergeant's mind. The real sergeant was of course rendered unconscious.

It didn't take long for her to be selected and Harry had to take her through the motions until Apophis eventually killed the clone when it was rejected. Harry then watched as Sharai was taken as a host to Amonet. Harry couldn't help but think it would be so simple to just kill Apophis and be done with it but that would definitely bring the attention of the system lords down to earth. If Harry took action that didn't result in the death of a system lord there was a good chance that the system lord wouldn't admit to the embarrassment of being attacked by people of the Tauri, he would try to solve the situation themselves. Harry was relying on that arrogance if he had to intervene further today.

He also couldn't switch Sharai with a clone because Amonet would surely notice the lack of brain function. Harry made his way back to the holding cell to watch with the others. It appeared that O'Neill had found Scara, Jackson's brother in law. Soon the choosing ceremony took place where Harry was amazed that Carter wasn't chosen because of her beauty but that probably had a lot to do with Scara being chosen and then Jackson diverting attention when Sharai was brought out again.

When Apophis ordered everybody killed Harry knew it was time to intervene. This action wouldn't result in the death of a system lord because Apophis was already gone. He held off long enough to see if O'Neill's bid to turn the first prime of Apophis against his god bore any fruit. Harry was rather surprised when it did. The first prime turned on his fellow Jaffa and opened fire before throwing the staff weapon to O'Neill and picking up the staff of the Jaffa he just shot.

Harry saw the major flaw in their desperate attack, not that they knew of any alternative. The other prisoners were going to get shot by the other Jaffa. Harry let his invisibility drop and released a flash of bright light that was so intense that everybody but Harry was momentarily blinded. In that moment he unleashed a hail of plasma bolts that dropped all of the remaining enemy Jaffa. While he was concentrating on that his conjurer shield materialized material shields in front of the plasma burst fired by the enemy Jaffa into the prisoners.

When the light cleared everybody was staring at Harry with shocked looks on their faces.

"You know I seem to get that reaction a lot these days."

Apparently the shock was enough that the joke fell on deaf ears. SG-1 was the first that started to come around.

"Hi my names Harry but I think we can save introductions for later. Reinforcements might be arriving soon."

Those words seemed to bring SG-1 out of their shock completely as O'Neill started to fire his staff weapon at the wall. It was sufficient to blow a hole big enough in the wall for everybody to escape through. Harry went out first with Carter and Jackson and made sure that everybody stayed together. Some of them were panicking and wanting to run off into the woods where they would be hunted down by Jaffa patrols and killed. Harry cast the imperius on anybody who started to run off hysterically. This was an example of where that curse came in handy.

O'Neill invited the first prime who identified himself as Teal'c to come back to earth with them. Harry and Sam as she introduced herself took up the rear of the group while O'Neill, Jackson, and Teal'c took up the front. While Teal'c explained about the Jaffa and his symbiote Harry had an introductory conversation with Sam.

"So how exactly did you do that back there?"

"I assume your not referring to the bright light? I know you have weapons capable of something similar if not quite as spectacular."

At Sam's nod of confirmation Harry continued on.

"Well the physics of it is quite complex but it's simply explained by your Einstein's equation E=mc2. It's energy to matter conversion."

"Wow. How is it that you know who Einstein is?"

Harry laughed and replied.

"Well it's not hard to hear of the man when you are interested in science and live on earth for 7 years."

At Harry's last statement Sam just gaped at Harry.

"You lived on earth? When? And why didn't the government know about it?"

Harry had to laugh again before replying.

"It was a few years ago. You don't actually expect all alien races to have the subtlety of the Goauld when they're visiting another world do you?"

Sam actually blushed at Harry's last question. Harry thought it accentuated her beauty quite nicely.

Any further conversation was interrupted by the arrival of two Goauld death gliders who started firing on the group. Harry projected a shield above the group to intercept the plasma bursts before they killed anybody. Sam was staring at the shield in obvious fascination that reminded Harry of Hermione when she found some new field of research to begin.

"Watch this," Harry said while looking at Sam with a slight smirk.

Harry gestured at the death gliders as they were turning away from their latest run and mentally ordered his conjurer to materialize several very sharp naquadah spears into the flight path of the gliders. The conjurations weren't at the energy level to be permanent so that they would disappear in a few minutes so no evidence was left behind. They were there long enough to impale the glider pilots causing them to crash into the ground in the distance in massive fireballs.

"Isn't it just amazing what you can accomplish with the ability to materialize matter from energy at will, Samantha."

Harry practically purred her name while making his eyes glow slightly in a way that always seemed to turn Hermione on.

Hermione seemed to pick up on his actions from orbit because she sent, "be nice Harry. You don't want Samantha to cream her BDUs before she gets back to the base do you?"

"I don't know love. I'd be rather interested to see her facial expressions when she orgasms," he sent back.

"Oh they'll be plenty of time for that later love," was Hermione's reply.

Samantha continued to blush and follow the group on. (For the sake of this AU we are going to say it went this way) Harry crested the hill in time to see O'Neill being thrown back after apparently running after Scara. Scara quickly went through the gate leaving only Apophis and Amonet. Harry quickly fired off a couple of shots of plasma rounds with his gauntlet intentionally missing Apophis and striking the gate right beside his head. Apophis jumped through the gate to avoid being hit.

Before Amonet could follow his example Harry conjured a wall of stone in between the gate and her. He quickly snapped off a stunner which knocked Amonet unconscious. Jackson quickly rushed forward and picked up his wife. Harry activated the gate back to earth with his remote. Sam sent her GDO signal so that the iris was opened and they started herding people through. It didn't take long because Harry kept on conjuring large blocks of C4 over the groups of enemy Jaffa that kept on cresting the hill. The C4 blocks had an impact sensor on them that set them off whenever they hit the ground.

Soon Harry, Teal'c, and O'Neill were the last ones through. Harry erected a shield that wasn't visible over Teal'c after they got through when he saw all of the guns pointed their way. Luckily it seemed Sam had warned them about the Jaffa because they didn't open fire. Sam came up and got Teal'c's staff weapon from him.

What followed was a confusing session where the refugees were situated. Harry was asked to go through a medical examination that was quite amusing. Sam who was apparently Harry's designated minder showed him to the infirmary and introduced him to Dr. Janet Frasier.

"Harry I'd like you to meet Dr. Janet Frasier. She's the bases chief physician and the one who will give you your medical exam."

Harry greeted her with a warm smile and a handshake which obviously surprised Frasier. Harry surmised that it was because she didn't expect him to know the earth custom of a handshake.

"It's nice to finally meet you in person Dr. Frasier."

She gave him a strange look while shaking his hand and asked, "What do you mean by in person?"

"Well I've had some pretty sophisticated sensors pointed at this base ever since the Abydos mission back in 94.'"

At their shocked looks Harry decided to elaborate.

"Well I told you I lived here for seven years," he directed at Sam.

When she nodded he continued.

"Well in those seven years I grew quite fond of this planet. I've decided to keep an eye on her. This program happens to be one of the biggest risks to this planet so I've decided that keeping an eye on the planet includes keeping an eye on this program."

Harry could tell they were a little uncomfortable with that prospect but that was really to be expected and there was nothing they could do to block his sensors that was within their current means of technology.

When Janet began giving him a physical he just had to ask her some questions.

"I'm curious Dr. Frasier how giving me a physical that you would give a human will help you in your diagnosis that I'm not carrying any harmful diseases? I may look human but I can assure you I'm not."

"I suppose your right. You can call me Janet," she replied with a smile.

"Is there anything you can tell me about your physiology? I'm rather curious about alien biology," she added.

"Well I can tell you what you would be able to detect. You would detect that all of my organs were the same except for my brain. My synaptic density is much higher than yours while I also use roughly 50 to 55 percent of my brain."

They were naturally astonished at his answers.

"That's not including some aspects of my physiology that your medical science is probably at least a thousand years from being able to detect without an extremely large kick in the pants."

Harry could tell that Sam was extremely interested in that response.

Janet decided to interject before her friend could start interrogating Harry.

"Do you mind if I take a blood sample?"

"Not if you don't mind if I stand here and observe it so that it can be destroyed when you're done examining it."

She nodded and prepared a syringe but Harry gestured for her to give him the syringe. He performed a spell that transferred the blood into the syringe without ever having to pierce his skin. They were again amazed at the casual use of his advanced "technology."

She looked at his blood through the microscope and stared in amazement.

"It looks just like human blood except you appear to be in perfect health. More perfect than a human should."

"As we've all agreed I am definitely not human therefore those levels of health do not apply to me. I believe the human level of health is going to significantly change in the near future if that debriefing that we are going to have in a while goes anything like I imagine it will."

"What do you mean Harry," Sam questioned.

"Well illnesses like cancer are within my means to cure with a simple pill."

They were shocked and gaping like fish at his statement.

"You both do very good impressions of a fish except I don't think fish are quite as beautiful as you both are."

They were both smiling and blushing at his complement.

"What is being done about Dr. Jackson's wife?"

"She is being kept heavily sedated until we can figure out a way to safely remove the Goauld," Janet replied.

"If you want I can remove that for you in about ten minutes or so."

"If you're sure you can do it safely then please do," was Janet's rather enthusiastic reply.

She led Harry to a room where Daniel was sitting beside his wife and holding her hand. When he saw Sam, Janet, and Harry he got up and walked over to them.

"Thank you for saving my wife Harry," Daniel said while shaking Harry's hand.

"It was no problem Dr. Jackson. I am just sorry I couldn't save your brother in law. Hopefully in the future it will be possible."

"Call me Daniel Harry. I'm sure you did what you could for Scara and I will never give up hope that we will recover the Goauld."

"On that front Daniel Harry has offered to remove the Goauld from Sharai," Janet broke in.

"Thank you Harry," Daniel said with a delighted smile on his face.

Harry conjured a reinforced fish tank with a small current generator to hold the symbiote.

"Now the first thing about Goauld symbiotes is that the Jaffa were created to incubate them so that the chances of a successful implantation were increased. For them to survive outside of the host they need the solution I've placed in the tank along with a small current."

"How did you find this all out Harry," Janet couldn't help but asking.

Harry blushed and mumbled a reply.

"What was that Harry," Janet asked for clarification.

"I have a pet Goauld that I came across several years ago."

They all appeared shocked at that revelation.

"How exactly does one go about acquiring a pet Goauld Harry," was Sam's response.

"Well I was wondering around a desert in Egypt when I came across a half buried pyramid. I dug my way down to the entrance and decided to explore the inside. I ended finding two canopic jars that were actually stasis jars. One had malfunctioned and killed the Goauld while the other contained a still living symbiote who was actually Osiris."

Daniel was completely shocked by this.

"You keep a former Egyptian god as a pet in a fish tank!"

"Yeah," Harry smiled. "I thought it would be rather ironic."

"It turns out I speak the symbiote's language and I was able to get all kinds of rather useful information out of it after I tortured it a little bit."

Harry was a little defensive after receiving some strange looks.

"Well you would torture the thing to after it tried to jump into your neck and then when that fails to demand you bow before it or your soul will burn for eternity."

"No we aren't judging you for torturing the Goauld. It's just a rather remarkable story," Daniel was quick to assure him.

"You'd get a kick out of how I ended up learning Goauld."

Harry didn't want to give them too much information about his past but he figured they couldn't tell he was born on earth from his story.

"I was on earth at the time so I broke into the public Library in London and acquired a lot of books. I paid them back by leaving a solid gold statue I found in place. Well anyway one of the books was by a brilliant young Dr. Daniel Jackson. It was truly remarkable work. It's ironic that he was laughed out of academia for theories that turned out to be completely right. The man was a genius who along with Osiris is the reason I learned how to read Goauld."

Daniel was blushing by mad at the end of the story while Janet and Sam were trying hard not to laugh.

"Now let's get back to learning how to extract us a Goauld."

Harry walked up to Sharai who was lying on her stomach strapped into a bed with a face hole in it.

"If you're the least bit squeamish I'd suggest you look away from this."

None of them opted to take his advice so he slipped on his healer glove and ran his index finger along the back of the neck where the symbiote was located. An incision about six inches long opened up exposing the symbiote. Harry used the scanning feature of the healer glove to locate everywhere the symbiote was attached to Sharai. He wrapped it in a telekinetic glove and carefully removed it and placed it in the tank.

Harry then activated the healing glove which emitted a blue glow and almost immediately sealed the wound without leaving a scar.

"She should probably sleep for a few more hours but after that she should be fine."

As they were staring amazed at the healer he decided to elaborate.

"This is something I adapted from the Goauld handheld healing device. The differences are that my version is more compact and doesn't require naquadah in the blood because there is a naquadah power cell in this device."

"What's naquadah," Sam couldn't help but ask.

"Oh sorry, I forgot that most of earth's naquadah deposits were completely mined dry when the Goauld occupied the planet. Naquadah is a heavy element that is used to power most Goauld technology. It's in their very blood. It's also the element the gate is made up of and what powers the dialing device."

"Now back to Goauld healing technology. The hand device was meant to be a portable version of the sarcophagus but without the very bad side effects. The side effects are what allows the sarcophagus to revive the recently deceased. The side effects are addiction and dementia. This is part of the reason that the Goauld are so evil. Prolonged use of the sarcophagus leads to the extreme degradation of the neural pathways."

"The sarcophagus was created after a Goauld found a healing device built by the gate builders millennia ago. The device was designed for gate builder physiology and not human but the Goauld was able to modify the design enough to create the first sarcophagus but not enough so that it was completely safe for humans. This is the reason that the Tokra don't use the sarcophagus technology."

"I have two questions. Who are the Tokra? And the Goauld didn't build the Stargates?"

Harry just burst out laughing at Daniel's questions or one in particular.

"Ok the Tokra are an offshoot race of the Goauld that split several thousand years ago when their queen Egeria didn't agree with the other Goauld ways and spawned the Tokra race. They live in symbiosis with their hosts which are voluntary. If your wondering why anybody would volunteer it's because they live up to 200 years, get the benefit of wisdom from a several millennia old being, and perfect health. They share control and are as nice as can be if you can get past the arrogance that come with any creature that lives several millennia."

"The Goauld most certainly did not build the Stargates. The Stargates were built by an ancient race that are referred to as the gate builders or the ancients. Judging by the level of technology the stargate demonstrates the ancients wouldn't need to resort to the Goauld methods to rule the galaxy."

"Now I suggest we get up to that briefing so that I don't have to keep explaining things again and again. I hope you were listening because you're going to explain most of this stuff while I just fill in the missing details."

"I think we got most of it Harry," Sam replied with a smile. She was mostly referring to Daniel who was listening to Harry's entire narration with rapt attention.

When the group of four made it to the briefing room it was to see that O'Neill, Teal'c, Hammond, and Major Kowalski were already there and waiting. Harry sat down in between Sam and Janet.

Hammond began the de-briefing by addressing Harry and Teal'c.

"Mr. Harry and Mr. Teal'c I'd just like to thank you on behalf of my people for the services you've rendered."

"There's no need general but thank you. I think I speak for Teal'c when I say it's just Harry and Teal'c."

Teal'c gave an affirmative nod at Harry's statement.

"My people are quite fond of earth and would like to see that it continues existing."

"Who exactly are your people," Hammond asked Harry.

"We're friends but you can call us Alterans."

It was the oldest known recorded name for wizards that Harry knew of and he was fairly confident it wasn't associated with the gate builders.

With that part of the briefing over Harry listened as the others ran through the recent mission until it was his turn to speak again. Hammond of course was skeptical about Harry's role in all of the mission but that was understandable with a military man with very little background in science.

"Do you have anything to add Harry?"

"Yes general, several things…First things first let's take care of that pesky problem of so many of your personnel dying recently."

Harry clapped his hands for effect and there was a flash in the gate room. Everybody got up to look through the window into the gate room where several people had just appeared.

Harry had to say that Teal'c's reaction was priceless. The Jaffa who had proved rather reserved thus far had widened eyes and a gaping mouth.

"How is this possible? I watched Apophis murder her myself."

Teal'c was referring to the sergeant that was rejected for implantation by Amonet. Harry made sure to transport her with some clothes on.

Hammond obviously had the same question considering he saw several of those soldier's dead bodies after they were murdered several days ago. O'Neill too watched several of those men die on Abydos.

"What you perceived happen and what actually happened are two different things."

"But those men's bodies were just in the infirmary," Hammond replied.

"Oh, well those bodies are still in the infirmary but it's a matter of opinion and debate whether those are their bodies."

At their perplexed looks Harry tried to elaborate.

"They had to be perceived as dead until now or I couldn't have saved them.

Sam gasped and stared at Harry in complete shock and amazement.

"You traveled through time!"

"Well done Samantha. Brains and beauty, what a woman."

The others were so shocked at Harry's confirmation of Samantha's statement.

"But it's supposed to be impossible. Even if it was possible the power requirements make it insanely improbable."

"Samantha the device in the room next door says otherwise to your second statement."

"As far as I can tell it's not so much traveling through time as it is traveling to parallel realities that are extremely close to our own that travel at a different rate of time relative to our own."

"There would be an infinite number," she replied.

"Yes and the tricky part is getting back to the right one."

Sam and Harry had obviously lost everybody else in the room by now so General Hammond had to bring them back on track.

"Major Carter would you please explain it in terms the rest of us can understand?"

"Sorry sir. From what he just said he travels back in time to the point where we saw the soldiers die and replaces them with a fake so that we think they died and then brings the real living ones back to the future."

Harry and Sam had to both wince at the inaccuracies that were accumulated from having to dumb down that explanation so much.

"But I don't understand how those could be fakes. I did autopsies and a great many tests that should have revealed them to be fakes," Janet interjected.

"You're still thinking earth level tests Janet. The fakes are actually perfect clones that were never bothered to be made living."

Harry figured it was easier to say they were never alive than to try and prove the existence of a soul in scientific terms.

He was once again getting gaped at.

Harry could see that O'Neill was gearing up to say something about the time travel thing.

"Before you say anything about time travel Colonel let's see if this answers any of your questions. I can currently only go back up to a couple of weeks but can't change anything in the past because it makes it extremely hard to get back to my correct future reality. That statement of itself means that I didn't actually change anything in the past but in the past of another reality. This means the technology can be only used to view events or pull people from the past who died if I can make it appear they still died. Paradoxes must be avoided at all costs."

Harry was pretty sure Samantha and possibly Janet and Daniel understood his explanation.

"Now your current situation stands as this. I think Teal'c will agree with me when I say that you will have brought the wrath of Apophis down on you in the near future. He will probably be very confident that you won't be able to touch him and send only a few ships."

"The good news is that it will probably take him a while to mobilize and get here because he'll consider it a rather low priority. The bad news is that he's right that with your current level of technology a nuke wouldn't even touch him."

Harry placed a pensieve disk onto the table and activated it to show the memory of a Goauld Hatac.

"This is called a Hatac class vessel. It's the most common vessel and while there are larger vessels there are usually only one of those in each system lord fleet. They are equipped with energy shields that are pretty difficult to penetrate. As you experienced on Abydos the shields do the Goauld no good if they are attacked from within."

"Now if Apophis attacks with only a few ships I could easily beat him with my ships. But I only currently have 4 and they could each handle 3 possibly four Hatac vessels each. The problem with that method is that if the Goauld got word of it they would most likely decide that a threat of that magnitude couldn't be ignored."

"The Goauld are feudal in nature with constant fighting. The problem arises when they are attacked from the outside. It would be alright if another Goauld destroyed several of their ships but if they are attacked by another species they band together to eliminate the threat."

"It would be best to not rely on my ships at the current time. That being said I have a plan that should allow us to deal with the threat with maximum benefits and minimum casualties."

"The Goauld are a scavenger race that copy advanced technology like their ring transporters that I believe you've used before."

O'Neill just had to interrupt at this point. "Hold on a minute. How do you know we've encountered the ring transporters before?"

"I have very good intelligence. I have been busy for the last several years making the Goauld fight between each other and throwing confusion on who killed Ra on Abydos. I've been making it so they don't know who did it. Some of them will claim they did it to look more powerful than they really are. So I would appreciate it if you didn't go around claiming it was you who killed him. Also it would be a good idea to not go telling everybody you meet that you're from earth. The Goauld have forgotten about earth after they were thrown out because of rebellion."

"Two millennia ago their technology was at the point where they over extended themselves. Naturally they didn't destroy earth because it was the best source for hosts and slaves and earth wasn't a threat. Now they have other large populations of humans around the galaxy and wouldn't hesitate to destroy the threat that earth presents."

"Standard operating procedure from now on people. You don't tell anybody what planet you're from unless we have a treaty and we know we can trust them," Hammond interrupted.

"Now as I was getting into before I was interrupted," Harry started again with a glare at O'Neill who did look properly abashed.

"Because the Goauld scavenge technologies they don't understand they only understand the most basic aspects and details of the ring transporter technology. The Ancients put some serious effort into making sure that their technology wasn't used for the wrong purposes and by those they deemed unworthy. It took the Goauld thousands of years to where they could create a simple dialing device for the stargate without using the DHD."

"For this reason they have only the ability to use the most basic functions of the ring transporter and have no idea what lays within it's programming."

This time Harry was interrupted by Sam but it was with an actual intelligent line of thought.

"That's where you got your energy to matter converter technology isn't it? You adapted the ring transporter technology to be portable and copy just about anything you want."

"Very good Samantha, you are indeed correct."

"But what I don't understand is how you made it so portable. The device you used I couldn't even see. It must be tiny and portable."

Harry willed the conjurer strapped to his wrist into visibility and showed her.

"Osiris was a visionary scientist even two millennia ago. He created cloaking technology that allowed him to cloak his ship and the Goauld still haven't replicated the feat today. I've copied the technology and miniaturized it."

"I think I can safely share the secret to my ability to miniaturize technology with you."

Harry had to suppress a smile at Sam's eager expression to learn something new. Hermione had no such problems when she laughed in his head.

"My god Harry she is exactly like me when I'm learning something new. I think we will get on famously."

Harry willed the PD interface between its internal space and normal space to increase to about a 1 foot diameter as well as the device itself. Everybody leaned over to stare at the expanded space inside in shock. It was O'Neill who decided to brake the shock induced silence.

"Is it just me or is the inside of that thing bigger than it should be?"

"Way to state the obvious Jack," Daniel replied.

"How is that possible Harry," Sam couldn't help but ask after she recovered from her shock.

"It's an artificial pocket dimension. A wormhole bends the space time continuum to suit it's purposes. My people long ago figured out how to do it in other dimensions."

"That's amazing," was Sam's only reply.

"I think you broke her," O'Neill broke in with a slight smile.

"Let's get back on topic people," Hammond replied with a glare at O'Neill.

"This ability is one of the greatest resources my people has in creating technology. Imagine never having to worry about space requirements because you can have an infinite amount of it anywhere you want."

"Now let's get back to my plan. I can override the lockout controls on the ring transporters aboard whatever ships Apophis brings allowing us to board them. This has the benefit of allowing us to take control of the ships and capturing them. You can then keep both ships to use in your defense. Apophis and all aboard those ships will need to be neutralized so that they can't come back with reinforcements."

"If Apophis didn't escape he still wouldn't likely tell the other system lords because of embarrassment. He would attempt to deal with the situation himself rather than admit that the people of the Tauri stole his ships."

At Harry's last statement Teal'c's eyes got really wide and his body language showed real excitement.

"Teal'c you ok buddy," O'Neill asked the Jaffa when he noticed Teal'c's reactions.

"Harry are you saying that the people of earth are the Tauri?"

"Yes Teal'c they are."

"What are the Tauri and what's the big deal," was Jackson's question.

"The Tauri are the original home world of every human in this galaxy as well as the Jaffa before they were turned into Jaffa."

"What do you mean Jaffa before they were turned into Jaffa," O'Neill asked Teal'c.

Harry decided to answer the question.

"The Jaffa were once human until the Goauld took the strongest humans and did a bit of genetic engineering until they became what they are now."

"One thing I don't understand is why you wouldn't take half of the Hatac vessels if we are successful in capturing them Harry," Jackson asked him.

"The reasons are simple. My vessels are far superior to a Hatac and the maneuverability on my vessels just feels better."

The pilots in the room could definitely understand that logic.

"Now I'm willing to assist the people of earth in both their struggle with the Goauld and other things but there is going to have to be one major change."

"What major change and what other things are you talking about," was Hammond's reply.

"Well the major change is that I'm going to need to be dealing with representatives of a majority of the population of earth. This means you're going to have to at least have over sight by a council of nations. Now I can understand that you would be concerned that you would lose control of the stargate. I can assure you that that won't happen."

"How could you guarantee such assurances Harry," was Sam's question that the others seemed to want an answer to too.

"Well the easiest way would be to refuse aid to other nations should they not agree with me. I think the threat that the United States would be gaining technological advancements that are far in advance to even the Goauld would be enough to convince them to see my point of view. When it comes to the stick and carrot point of view I make sure I use a large carrot and a large stick."

The others had to laugh at his last remark while Harry just had a smile on his face.

"I think it's time we moved this discussion to a high orbit around earth in one of my ships, the Lily."

"Who is the ship named after Harry," Sam asked him with a smile.

"After my mother," he replied.

Apparently the others detected the sad tone of voice and against common sense O'Neill decided to ask about it.

"What happened to your mother?"

Harry knew from the man's record that he lost a child several years back to a self-imposed accidental gunshot wound so he didn't hold it against him.

"She and my father died trying to protect me when I was fifteen months old."

"How," O'Neill asked.

"They were murdered by a man who was pure evil."

The others gaped at him.

"If they were murdered how did you survive?" Apparently O'Neill was very curious today.

"The method that he used to kill my parents proved ineffectual and ended up biting him in the ass. He survived but barely. He now resides in a prison I built that is in an orbit around a distant star. He will be burned alive repeatedly for the next five billion years. After each burn cycle his consciousness will be transferred to that of a clone body."

The others were really shocked by Harry's reply.

"I don't put people into such punishments lightly but that man wanted to murder billions. I think it would be a rather fitting punishment for some of the system lords considering Ba'al himself murdered 60 million people just so a rival system lord wouldn't enslave them."

The others were obviously horrified at that news while Teal'c just confirmed that he had heard as much.

"Now I do believe that you should make a call General Hammond on that red phone you have in your office because we are going to need to have the president at this meeting to approve the negotiations."

"How are we getting to the Lily Harry," was Hammonds reply.

"It's a surprise. Tell the president that we'll pick him up about three minutes after you get off the phone with him."

The others appeared dubious about the short amount of time that he allotted for them to get to Washington but Hammond just nodded and left to make the call.

Hammond was back in 2 minutes with a nod so Harry conjured a length of rope that everybody could grab onto and silently made it a portkey. Everybody gave Harry a strange look but grabbed on as he indicated.

Harry just gave them all a smirk and said, "Hold on tight."

When the portkey landed they were all sitting on their asses since that was the position they were in when they were in the SGC briefing room.

"What was that," Sam asked.

"Wormhole," was Harry's only reply, which was all that was needed.

Harry handed the rope to Hammond along with a spare shield glove.

"Put that glove on and take that rope to the president's office. When he is holding on say Lily away and you will be returned here."

Hammond just nodded and was whisked away by the portkey.

"What was the glove for Harry," Sam asked.

"It was a shield device so that Hammond doesn't get shot. He is going to appear out of thin air in the middle of the president's office after all."

Harry led them out of the conference room on the Lily to the bridge where Hermione was at the helm (even though the ship was on autopilot).

"I would like to introduce you all to one of my lovers, Hermione. She already knows all of your names."

Sam seemed pretty sad at the news that Harry had a lover.

"One of your lovers Harry," was O'Neill's reply with a question in his voice.

"My people are somewhat polygamous by nature. We have marriages of course but sometimes with multiple wives. Variety is the spice of life when you're for all intents and purposes immortal."

The others were again shocked at the news that Harry and his people were immortal.

Hermione let out a laugh and interrupted, "Harry you enjoy shocking them too much. Be nice."

"If I have to love," Harry responded with a fake pout.

Harry could see the curiosity practically oozing from the others at his apparent immortality.

"The immortality is a rather recent development. I know of two ways to become immortal right now. The first is through cloning with a special type of ring transporter that allows you to transfer your consciousness to the clone body and the second is through a chemical that completely halts the aging process."

"I'm sorry to say that for the moment the wide spread distribution of the means to synthesize the chemical or employ the first technique is an option that my people would not be too enthusiastic about."

"I have a question Harry. How do you decide who has more than one wife and who doesn't," Daniel apparently couldn't wait any longer to ask.

"Well my people have a rather unique way to identify if we've found a person we're extremely compatible with. A bond of sort is formed that indicates extreme compatibility. If you find one such person in your lifetime then you would consider yourself extremely lucky. If you find two then that is the scenario when more than one wife is considered. It is considered extremely foolish to ever ignore any bond."

"You said Hermione is one of your lovers. Does that mean you have a second bonded," Daniel questioned further.

"I have a potential one that is a rather recent discovery."

Harry was saved from any further discussion of the subject by the arrival of Hammond and the president.

"Boy you weren't kidding George. That is one hell of a ride," the president said in his southern drawl after he picked himself off of the floor.

"Mr. President I'd like to introduce you to Ambassador Harry of the Alteran people."

Apparently Harry had been elevated to Ambassador Status.

"It's just Harry Mr. President and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise Harry and I only wish it was under better circumstances. I understand that there is a very good chance that we will be attacked by the Goauld in the near future."

"Yes I'm afraid so. I've brought you here to discuss the defense against that attack and others like it."

Once everybody got over seeing earth from orbit for the first time in person they got seated and down to business.

The president was brought up to speed on the earlier conversation had in the SGC briefing room.

Recognizing the fact that Harry wasn't under any obligations to keep the existence of the stargate secret from any other governments the president quickly agreed to bring in the leaders of the other major nations. Under the circumstances he was facing the guarantee that the US would maintain control of the stargate was actually quite generous.

Harry sent down house elves to collect the leaders of France, Britain, Russia, and China. They were all obviously shocked at their change in surroundings. Harry was quick to calm them down but the French leader just couldn't hold his tongue.

"You can't just snatch the world's leaders out of their offices in the middle of the day. We will be missed and people will be in a panic searching for us."

"I assure you sir that has been taken care of. Nobody will even know you're gone. For every day that passes on this ship only 1 second will have passed on the outside world."

Just like that his logic was completely shot. The easiest way to silence a room full of world leaders was to show them the view of their planet from orbit. The group was quickly filled in on the stargate program and some of the advantages they were being offered. Harry finally tired of their bickering over control and cast a silencing charm on them all.

Harry materialized a pill in front of the leaders and held it up.

"Do you know what this is?"

When he got either blank or curious looks he continued.

"This is the cure for cancer. I have cures for just about every known illness that your people suffer and you're bickering over who has control of the stargate. Your planet faces imminent destruction and you're fighting amongst each other. If you can't get along I'll take away your stargate."

They all seemed to calm down and take his threat seriously after that.

"As it stands your population is unsustainable for your planet at its current rate of growth. My solution is that we move 1000 people a month from each of your five countries to other planets that I've began building infrastructures on."

They were all obviously astounded at the audacity of his plan.

"You can't just take 5000 people a month and make them disappear without people noticing," the Russian leader finally got out.

End Flashback~

Having taken on the host mind fully I jumped to my next reality and body, which just happened to be the Stargate reality containing all of my wives from my reality of origin.

Main SG Reality

Arriving back in my home universe or at least the one I've currently taken to thinking of as such was a welcome relief. I've now made the leap to an omni-consciousness being, or what could be considered one. I'm living four lives in the time that normal people live one. Actually make that five if you consider the duel lives in the Ageless universe.

It's time to get back to living through some SG-1 missions. Naturally the Season 3 episode Into the Fire never took place because Hathor is occupying a nice cell in a research facility just outside of area 51.

When Jacob showed up back on earth to deliver the news that the Tokra suspected Seth of still being on earth we had a merry old time hunting him down. Daniel located him just like in cannon. This time when we entered the facility, after we arrived on site, we didn't have to deal with ATF because we had called ahead to some higher ups. They made sure ATF cooperated with us to their fullest capabilities.

In actuality we pulled them back and went in with a cloaked Alkesh. Seth didn't even know what hit him when we chucked several of the Goauld stun grenades through the window. We cleaned the facility out after everyone was rendered unconscious. Seth now occupies a cell adjacent to Hathor.

The episode Fair Game didn't really take place per se. Earth didn't really need to be under the protected planets treaty now that we have a growing fleet, not to mention the Alteran ships I've got hidden. The system lords still haven't realized that we've been keeping the ships. If our ships engage other Goauld we'll simply remain nameless. It will get blamed on Anubis in a few years when he starts doing the same thing. It's not like we engage other ships often to the point where they escape.

Most "engagements" involve the standard procedure of our ships remaining cloaked while a marine team heavily equipped with stealth and protection tech takes the enemies ship to add to our fleet. Still one important thing came out of that episode. Nirrti got knocked down a few pegs after it was found that she was hiding tech while trying to kill Chronus.

So the system lords got a tip from one of their minor Goauld servants (actually a Tokra spy) at my nanite direction that Nirrti was hiding the personal cloaking tech. So that took care of Nirrti, the child killing bitch. I'm hoping she'll be killed but it is unlikely her death will be permanent. One can only hope.

When we got to the Linvris meeting chamber on July 16th and found all of the Goauld dead I prevented Daniel from touching anything. He had a nasty habit of that. Anything powerful enough to kill nine Goauld lords (however minor they were) probably isn't something very noticeable. So I employed a technique common throughout my channel and many other's fanfics.

"Daniel I'm picking up a strange energy reading from that tablet so don't touch it," I told him.

It worked well because he snapped his hand back almost as if he had been burned. It saved him a trip to the psychiatric ward at the air force hospital. When I later revealed that I discovered phasing worms, as we took to calling Ma'chello's weapon, in the data pad we sent the research onto area 51. I had my nanites monitor the research because of the potential for abuse. The weapon was too indiscriminate in its targets.

It's almost as bad as the symbiote poison the Tokra would develop in a few years.

July 22, 1999…

When we encountered the Orbanians in what would be the episode Learning Curve it demonstrated one of the horrors that can evolve from nanite technology. The Orbanians could only affect the most basic programs and changes into the nanites once they were in a human's system. They were no where near advanced enough to extract the information without physical removal.

Unfortunately they were using them in infants and then extracting them after eleven or so years. In that time the infants neural pathways developed around the nanites, integrating them into their design. They were in essence trying to reach the Alterans natural state of brain evolution with an unnatural method. Like with Replicator AI's the natural brain was simply too complex to try to duplicate in that method.

I could of course show them how to extract the information but that process is far too advanced to be trusted with a culture that reminds me slightly of the Aschen in temperament. So what I did was give them a program that rebuilt the neural pathways of the urrone after they underwent the averium. In exchange earth was given the nanite technology.

They wouldn't be the super enhanced brains they had been before the averium but they would match the mental capabilities of any other none urrone Orbanian. That was the only reason Jack didn't cause an interplanetary incident when he found out. I fixed the problem like I usually do. Whether or not earth decides to use the nanite technology like the Orbanians did is up to the higher ups.

Just like it's not our place to judge Orbanian culture and beliefs it's not my place to judge the people of this earth. It's all about free will.

The episode Point of View never took place since I already helped out the Samantha Carter and Kawalski that would have come to this reality on my way here. It's the same pair because that's where I got the address to this reality. It's a good thing too because destroying the Furling reality gate was really foolish. I did make some recommendations to Hammond that it be stored in a more secure and monitored location than the warehouse it was in cannon.

August 6th 1999…

When we fell into the trap set by Aris Boch we all kept our cool. When Jack threw a knife at the shield to test the type I remember the situation well.

"You're thinking of a Goauld personal shield that let's low kinetic energy objects pass through. Wouldn't be a very effective trap now would it," he arrogantly said.

"The shield generator is right there, maximum power," I replied to the rest of the team as I indicated where my scanner told me the generator was located.

We had kept the existence of our karakesh modified beam weapons and shields a pretty good secret. Whenever we had need to use them it tended to be a situation where our enemies didn't walk out of it. They were more of a last resort method. Even then Sam was the first to use it because it was common knowledge that she was a Tokra host for a short time. It wouldn't be out of her scope of capability to power the device without an external power cell.

Boch was quite surprised then when all five of us turned our beam weapons on a specific spot on the shield. It might have been able to handle one or two weapons but not five. The concentrated fire of the narrow beams punched a hole through and lanced into the shield generator. It was pretty simple after that to capture Boch and force him to show us back to his ship.

We then found out about the Goauld he was hunting. It wasn't too hard to find out that he was a Tokra. Our relationship with the Tokra is much stronger than it was in cannon mostly thanks to the host program and our providing backup by ship. I was torn on whether or not to help Boch. The guy got screwed by the Goauld in the first place but he wasn't exactly being all friendly nowadays.

I finally decided on a course of action before we left Boch on that world. The nanites I injected him with would slowly wean him off of the addiction the Goauld have him under. They would also make sure he wouldn't remember about our karakesh weapons. That was something I've been making sure all along whenever we have to use them in front of non combatants.

On the planet where the canon episode Demons took place the beam weapons weren't even required. When the head priest tried to use what I recognized as an Alteran designed lightning weapon on us I put a silenced round through his forehead at nearly point blank range. When the others gave me a questioning look I had a simple response.

"What? He was firing some type of weapon at us. I could tell from the energy build up my scanner was detecting," I answered as I relieved the corpse of the ring.

They easily accepted that as an explanation. We healed the ill locals with a handheld healing device so that we didn't have to watch them drill holes in each other's skulls. When the Unas came through the gate from Sokar he met his end by some C4 we placed in the road on his path to the town. There wasn't much left of him with the amount we used.

We would send through teachers to make sure these people didn't go back to drilling holes in important body parts. As for the Goauld returning a new procedure ensured we would be notified. Every SGC team that went offworld had a cloaked Alkesh following them in the event of an emergency. It was another last resort procedure. Earth had a big enough fleet now that there were enough Alkesh to go around.

The Alkesh each left a satellite in orbit around planets we visit. The satellites were Goauld level science tech. This meant they were cloaked and maneuvered with anti grav engines. Their sensor arrays were quite capable of telling us what came and left through a planets stargate. The Goauld never thought to implement such a satellite network.

The Goauld basically operate by themselves with the possibility of a few minor Goauld serving the major ones. This means they don't share ideas and for the most part they don't innovate unless they see a problem. We on the other hand have hundreds of scientists working at area 51 coming up with new technologies to fight the Goauld.

This was definitely a case of more heads are better than one.

August 19th 1999…

On the planet where the Rules of Engagement episode took place we managed to convince them that Apophis was dead pretty much the same as canon. Taking one of the Jaffa back to see the Goauld we had in cells, like Hathor because her host was too old to survive without her, served to show them that the Goauld were not gods. The Jaffa rebellion gained several new members that day.

October 8th 1999…

Thankfully Forever in a Day never took place. Sharai is safe at home with her husband. The couple is very happy together. I in fact recall the conversation I had with her on the teams 4th of July barbecue.

"Thank you for your part in saving me," Mrs. Jackson said with much less of an accent than before her move to earth.

"No problem. You and Daniel are good together. It was hard for him without you here," I told her.

"Yes. I can't imagine what it would be like for him without me. We grew so close for that time on Abydos," she replied.

"Well luckily we don't have to find out and hopefully we never will," I told her while thinking of the canon episodes.

Sharai is a really good person and a good friend. She's befriended all of my girls and they in turn have taken to showing her earth culture. Drayac as well has joined them in their excursions into earth life.

When we arrived on the planet Vyus on October 15th and discovered the amnesiac people who just went through the Vorlix, as they called it I decided to change things up a bit from canon. Using our Goauld level technology we didn't need Ke'ra/Linea's help to synthesize a memory restorative.

In actuality it would have taken several weeks at purely Goauld level science. Luckily as one of my girls Janet had access to Alteran level science. I even implanted the Alteran medical science portion of the database into Janet's mind at her request. Regular humans could handle sections of the database for extended periods of time as long as it wasn't the whole database.

Even with small sections the knowledge would fade with time to preserve the neural pathways. Luckily a side effect of the elixir of life mixture all my lovers have taken is that it constantly regenerates neural and most other pathways in the body. As such the knowledge won't fade with time.

When Ke'ra was given her dose of the memory restoration injection she was restored to memories of a skilled scientist who lived on Vyus her entire life. This was made possible by my use of the mind arts to replace her old memories with pleasant new ones. Linea was now for all intents and purposes dead. It was for the best.

Earth also learned how to synthesize the youth restoration drug, as it was now being termed. The only side effect is temporary memory loss which lasts only until the antidote is given. Under my advice it will be a while before it is released to the general public. The current population of earth is unsustainable. I recommended to the president to only give the drug to those who are willing to move offworld into one of the earth colonies that are even now being planned.

It is the same problem earth will have to face when we acquire the Asgard repository. With the ability to transfer a consciousness into a cloned body it makes the user of such technology very long lived. That combined with some of the technologies we will encounter in the future grants a person immortality. But that would quickly use up the earth's resources.

So a law will be instituted that to become immortal you can't have any kids or you have to move to a planet where the population is low enough to allow for it. Once the population reaches a certain number of immortals then the option is to move again or don't have any kids. Of course once you have a certain number of children your options become stop having kids, move out of earth governance, or give up your immortality. I know this from the knowledge of the future I took from the 1969 episode.

Even without the prospect of immortality this is a problem earth governments will face. The immortality just makes it more imminent and somewhat easier to swallow the solutions. The solution of most of the politicians at the current time seems to be trying to kill off the elderly quicker. Just taking one of the future statistics from the year 2008 roughly 130,000 people were born but only 60,000 died. Only a very small number of those are from diseases. Most were natural deaths.

The politicians have been going at it from the wrong end of the equation. They need to restrict or limit the birth rate. If the problem isn't solved within the next couple decades to a century I might be forced to use a nanite virus to selectively sterilize a certain percentage of the population. The beauty of such a thing is that the nanites would be able to repair the damage but it would look natural to the less advanced tech of the earth. But more than likely the stargate program will be public knowledge by then and earth's population can spread out into this galaxy and others.

When the time came for Jolinar's Memories and The Devil You Know Martouf showed up without fail. This time he had Jolinar with him. When he briefed us on Jacob's capture by Sokar it was his turn for a surprise.

"You are indeed correct that Sokar has been amassing a fleet to attack the system lords. He currently has 22 Hatac class ships of better design than the standard ones. He also has a super sized mother ship designed to be the head of his fleet," I addressed the briefing room.

"How do you have this information. Our best spies have not been able to gain this much information," Martouf questioned in surprise.

"Our spies are better," I answered without really revealing anything.

A holographic display of Natu and Sokar's home planet were then projected above the table.

"As you can see we've been preparing to strike down Sokar for a while when we realized his plans. We were actually waiting for him to complete his flag ship but it won't be possible for that now," Hammond spoke up.

"It won't be any trouble to modify the plan to extract Jacob," Jack now spoke up.

With that we were soon in one of earth's cloaked Hatac vessels on our way to Natu. When we arrived an extraction team used our more powerful sensors to lock onto the rings on Natu and transport down. They were equipped with an energy shield on top of their protective shields. The energy field regulated the temperature inside and also the atmosphere. They wouldn't have to inhale any of the noxious gases in the atmosphere of the hell moon while maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Binar was quite surprised when his rings activated. He guessed Sokar was sending his first prime to check up on things. When the group of marines materialized he didn't even have time to raise his hand device before a silenced round pierced his forehead.

They didn't have much trouble tracking down Jacob after that and extracting him. There was no Apophis this time since he was personally dealt with by me. It took them less than ten minutes to get Jacob out.

While that was going on I personally led an assault on Sokar. He didn't even realize he was in trouble until we were in his throne room. We used stealth to our advantage as we put silenced rounds into the skull of any Jaffa we came across and dragged them out of the way. Stealth on this level wasn't a Goauld or Jaffa tactic. They preferred shows of might and power.

Unfortunately for the self proclaimed devil this sex god was more powerful. I used my electromagnetically propelled crossbow to put a projectile through his shield and into his brain. His head was a splatter as it exploded with the explosive tip.

Next Teal'c came in and started speaking to the Jaffa after we drug the corpse of their god in front of them. We convinced all of the Jaffa but a few to join the cause. The new Jaffa rebels killed those few. They would continue to build the flag ship for us. Meanwhile earth acquired 22 more ships for it's fleet.

We would be busy for a while upgrading them with better power systems and cloaks. We were going to equip them with the upgrades I facilitated from O'Neill's time with an Alteran repository in his head. They would be intergalactic in a few months. Cloaking would only take a few weeks for the entire fleet. The brass were very happy with this new development.

If the brass got the bright idea that this new fleet should be turned on their enemies on earth or that they should start conquering other planets they would be in for a rude awakening. I placed nanite overrides into all of the systems.

Plus my own Alteran fleet was growing quite large by this time. Atluria herself was now a formidable ship in her own right. Before she wasn't really designed for fighting in space. She could do it but it was more transport and living that it was built for. Now with a fairly thick nanite layer covering the entire city not only could it withstand quite a bit of force without the shield running it could also take a lot of energy attacks.

Just like replicators could absorb energy attacks so too can Atluria's nanite shell. Xander and the girls were apparently having a ball exploring the Asuran planet and having fun with the wraith. They were torturing and experimenting upon the occasional wraith but they were very much into tracking as many ships as they could.

So far they had managed to find 63 wraith hive ships with various other smaller designs around the Pegasus galaxy. All the information they were collecting would come in handy in the future. I was pleased to hear that Willow and Tara were practicing their magic on captured Wraith as well.

The foothold situation never took place. As soon as the SG team that had gotten themselves captured in canon detected trouble they contacted the cloaked Alkesh in orbit. Immediately the Alkesh followed the newly implemented procedure and contacted earth via a subspace emergency system.

Immediately two of the already upgraded Hatac vessels jumped into hyperspace and arrived quickly at the planet where the team was under attack thanks to their intergalactic speeds capable engines. They bombarded the planet's surface with cover fire while the Alkesh picked up our team.

Needless to say that planet was marked as hostile and we didn't have any further interaction with them. We did leave the standard cloaked satellite in orbit to keep an eye on them.

When the time for the canon episode Pretense arrived I was debating whether stimulating a similar event was a good idea or not. Since Skara is already free of Klorel thanks to our Tokra friends he wouldn't be asking the Tollans for help when his symbiote was too injured to suppress him. It seems fate thought some things should still happen the same.

Nareem showed up asking us for help with a Triad involving a lesser known system lord. Zipacna was currently serving him. Just like in canon this system lord's mother ship had been damaged in a fight over the planet and he had crash landed in his escape attempt. His host had asked the Tollan for help.

The Tollan had come to us to act as Archon (lawyer) for the seeker (the host). They know we despise the Goauld and would want to help the host. Zipacna would be the Archon for the symbiote. Since they had never met the Nox they didn't know who to ask to act as a neutral party. It was pretty easy to hop over to the Nox world via ship and ask Lya to come along.

She agreed and we traveled to the Tollan home world. It was funny to listen to the arrogant words of high Chancellor Travell and Nareem about the Tollan defenses. They could disable all the weapons they wanted but they couldn't actually detect any of the weapons I modified. Knowing what was coming from the canon episode I hacked their computer systems as soon as we got on the planet and tricked their scanners into thinking us only armed with basic earth weapons.

They didn't deactivate our beam weapons or personal shields. I also took the liberty of procuring an up to date copy of their database. While Jack and Daniel acted as Archons I followed the Jaffa with Teal'c and Sam. We went through the same motions as canon in trying to warn the Tollan of the impending attack.

Just like in canon they arrogantly ignored us. I am not able to be punished the same as the others so I didn't really care about Jack's order to drop the matter. It didn't really matter either way because I did nothing until the attack came. The only thing I did was tell Teal'c that I was handling the situation so that he didn't go to Lya for help.

When the attack began all of the Tollan ion cannons were taken out in one go. Then the death gliders descended and started firing on the citizens. Taking a page out of the playbook of one of my alternate selves from one of the alternate realities I am now inhabiting I passed magnetic fusion grenades to Sam and Teal'c. They began tossing them at the gliders.

Teal'c got the hang of it after seeing Sam take out a few gliders. Soon the gliders were no more. I meanwhile took a snitch out of my pocket. It unfurled it's golden wings and took to the air at my mental command. Soon the snitch was rocketing into space and portkeying straight through the shields of the Hatac.

The sky lit up with a bright flash as the nuke inside the snitch vaporized the ship. I let every one of the cannons be destroyed because in the canon episode the Tollans still had the excuse that it was their tech that defended them. As such they didn't develop anything better to take out enemies and it had gotten them wiped out.

They were again very grateful. We left a couple of cloaked ships in orbit until they could get more defenses back up.

We luckily never had the misfortune of meeting Urgo thanks to the better sensors and firewalls on our MALP. The sensors saw through the holographic projections the alien systems tried to project and it blocked them from hacking the MALP as well. We saw exactly what was on the other side of the gate and labeled the world as hostile when they destroyed the MALP for it's resistance.

In the episode A Hundred Days not much had happened besides Jack getting laid. This time that didn't even happen. We brought in several ships and had them shoot the asteroids out of the sky before they could break atmosphere, causing the smaller pieces to burn up before they ever reached the ground.

To close down the NID weapons stealing organization we simply embedded a subspace tracker into one of the better pieces of tech we "found" and followed the signal. It was actually a piece of tech we planted but couldn't gain lawful access to in the reports. The black ops team picked it up a few days later. Within a matter of minutes of it's move to their base several Hatac were raiding the place like a drug bust on earth. The SGC was keeping the gate busy so there was no escape. It was much easier than the ruse used in canon.

When we arrived on P2X-416 on February 18th during what would be called the New Ground episode from cannon we were not as welcome as the native calling himself Nyan led us to believe. Instead of being captured as Optrican spies and tortured by the Bedrosians our would be torturers experienced quite a surprise.

When the Bedrosian ship tried to trap us in a force field we called to our awaiting Alkesh for help. Within seconds fire was raining down upon the containment craft, blowing them out of the sky. Nyan was staring in shock. When the Bedrosians were no more I looked at Nyan with a glare.

"You are coming with us," I told him with a growl in my voice.

He didn't resist as the Alkesh decloaked when it reached us. Already a Hatac was in orbit providing cover. Teal'c and I managed to bring the recently excavated DHD out of the ground so it could be wrung aboard the ship. A magnetic grappling system secured the stargate to the bottom of the ship and we took off.

Nyan explained the situation on the planet and why we were nearly captured. We delivered the stargate to the Optricans along with Nyan before decloaking our ship in orbit. This would provide the proof of their origin for the people on the planet. In the end we were able to put an end to a war that had been going on for a very long time over this people's true origin.

The episode Maternal Instinct never occurred because the harsesis child was never born. I wasn't too concerned since we would be meeting ascended beings in other times and places.

For the episode Crystal Skull I didn't actually change very much. I let Daniel get shifted to a higher dimension because it was the only way to easily reconcile with his grandfather. When he did disappear though I brought up the fact that in my past research of my friends I found out Daniel's grandfather had been laughed out of academia for claiming a similar incident to the one we just experienced.

This prompted us to visit Nicholas Ballard much sooner. When we returned to the planet Ballard was again chosen to learn from the energy beings. This time though he wouldn't be the only one learning. The nanites I injected him with were shifted to the energy being's dimension with him and would be transmitting all he learned back to me. They would also acquire a full copy of their knowledge database over the following years.

The beings weren't as powerful as the ascended Alterans but they were up there.

I was quite surprised to find myself whisked away in a beam of light in March. O'Neill was the one who was taken by Thor in the episode Nemesis. This was a result of the changes I've made in the time line. I made my way to the bridge of the ship without problems from the Replicators. Even if I attack them they won't harm me like they would others.

In the very base unalterable code of the nanites it was written that they couldn't harm Alterans. It was done away with in later models and simply made into an alterable code. This was because the wraith evolved from Alterans and the replicators had trouble distinguishing wraith from Alterans. My physiology is close enough to Alteran that the replicators recognize me as such.

Even if I wasn't my nanites are much more advanced than this version of the technology. The Alterans had 5 million years to further the technology after they left the Milky Way for Pegasus.

When I made my way into the bridge chamber I found Thor lying in his inactivated stasis pod.

"Greetings Harry Demire. I am Thor," the Asgard greeted.

"I guessed as much from the time I saw your ship on Cimmeria," I responded with a nod.

Thor and I hadn't actually met since there was never a negotiation between the Asgard and system lords to add earth to the protected planets treaty.

"I have brought you here because my ship has been commandeered by a race we call the replicators. They are a plague upon our galaxy and are heading for your planet. When they reach sufficient number they will take your planet. I brought you here because I believe you are the best one able to think of a way to destroy this vessel," Thor stated.

He then went on to explain to me more details. After I assured him I would be fine with the recordings he left I activated the stasis pod. Next I walked around the ship and sent wave after wave of nanites forth from the pocket dimension I kept them in. Like when I took Atluria the replicators were broken down to their constituent materials and stored in purified form until they were needed. Some of these materials were immediately used by my nanites to repair the ship.

I didn't project the energy wave that would sever the bonds holding them together in case there was some type of system in the ship that would react badly to it. From there I jettisoned Thor's pod into space before following along using my personal shield with the same features as were used on Natu. It could act as a spacesuit.

My emergency distress signal soon had me picked up by a Hatac from our fleet. To all observers it would look like the Asgard vessel made a short jump into hyperspace, reappearing just before it launched into the sun. My official report would say that I managed to hijack the hyperdrive with my personal computer (which I had been carrying when I was beamed away by Thor). The replicators wouldn't be able to get to the personal computer in time to disconnect it.

I had simply severed the connection to the hyperdrive from the rest of the ships systems after we arrived in orbit of earth. The bugs never found out because they hadn't needed the system yet. My computer was the sole controller.

In actuality what happened was a future version of me (thanks to my ability to be in multiple places at once since time only has hold over me when I want it to) appeared on the ship and took it to the between long enough to get it over the planet where Atluria rested. Going through the between allowed me to "apparate" anywhere in this universe I want. The between is not affected by time and since time and space are so closely connected neither hinders me much.

I reprogrammed the ship to be under my control and sever any communications with the Asgard network. The Asgard network transmitted over subspace their latest research and all their communications. There were a series of relay satellites in both the Milky Way and Ida galaxies that doubled as a spy network in the Milky Way. As such I now had the most up to date Asgard knowledge repository available.

Nobody was the wiser thanks to my being too close to the sun for sensor readings when I took the ship out of our universe. It wasn't the fastest or most powerful ship I have thanks to my new Alteran ship fleet but it wasn't exactly weak either.
