SG1 Dudes, MRS. J.K., Mr. Warugaki... Wizards in Space is a scary thought, isn't it? It makes people want to read about it… I hope.

Lavender shook her head, "For the second flight, Harry. You have to make a test flight first."

5 First Wizards in Space!

Hannah said, "I want in! Mum was a Trekkie… I'll explain later. I want to go into Space, the Final Frontier!"

Luna was puzzled, "Space has no borders, Hannah."

"As I said, I will explain it later, Luna, I just had to say it out loud," said Hannah sadly, "Mum used to talk about how it would be if we could go into space and explore the Galaxy like in that TV show Star Trek. She would have loved it."

Hannah's mum got murdered in our sixth year by Death Eaters, Susan's Aunt got murdered too, everyone seems to have scars on their souls. I bet last year was Hell in Hogwarts, Hermione, Ron, and I suffered too but I bet not as much as Neville and the kids at Hogwarts.

Lavender handed communicators to Hannah and Susan and helped Aunty and Uncle connect with their communicator with me. Neville assisted Hannah and the twins did Susan. We left when everyone was connected, they will visit us tomorrow to get their first Lantean download.

Back home, the girls confronted me, "More than just friends, Harry?" asked Padma.

I nodded, "Yes, More than friends, I care about all four of you, these last days were the best of my life. I feel comfortable with all of you, it just feels right, you know?"

Luna asked, "What about Hermione?"

I shrugged, "I care for her too, I spent seven years in her company and she saved my hide several times. I have to give her a flushing potion first so that I will know her true feelings about me. Either way, she will want to be a part of this no matter what. The Weasleys however… Molly has some serious explaining to do."

Lavender put her arms around my neck and pulled me in for a kiss, "I like to be more than friends too, Harry, what does that make us? Lovers? Girlfriends? Wives? All of it?"

I pulled her closer for a snog, "Girlfriends and Lovers sounds about right. You have to realize I did not exactly have a nice childhood, so I am unsure what true love is. It could be what I am feeling now or is it pure lust? Wives, you ask? Do you want to share a husband with three other girls? Four if Hermione feels for me? Why don't we wait a bit longer before we bind each other together for life."

Parvati hugged me from behind, "I'll take both Lust and Girlfriend, Harry. We need some time to heal too. Last year was a nightmare, and our emotions are rampaging through our minds. Let's settle for Lust first, we want to feel alive, I want to celebrate that I am alive! I want to fuck you so bad that it hurts. Bed now, Harry."

Two hours later we came down for a late lunch. Luna had a smile on her face, the months in Malfoy's dungeon were horrible, we made her forget about it for a few hours, the shag was great too. Thank Merlin for the Fixer! instant recovery! Little Harry is ready for action again in less than twenty seconds!

To prepare for our space flight, I searched through the database for space suits, the latest models are with nanites, but our Constructor tables cannot handle them. I found a Magical solution, a Shield with a bubble head charm integrated. We had to put markers on our joints so the shield could move along with our body movements. After testing, we took them into production.

Watching the Shuttle taking form is a spectacle on its own, twelve droids beaming matter into shape is amazing, a half hour later we got bored of watching.

We looked at the information the satellite gathered in Subspace, our satellite can hack into the conversations and record them, there are chatterboxes in Subspace, we are not alone in the galaxy!

That news made the girls uneasy, I loaded a translation program into the computer, when it was done translating, the Goa'uld made themselves known. Most of the conversations were grandstanding accusations and insults to each other. What came out was that Apophis was almost done with consolidating his power and was on the look for Tauri… us.

Luna summed it up, "These are not friendly people, I hope they are not coming our way. I hate to be a Tauri."

I commented, "We scanned everywhere, but did we scan our planet? Is there Naquadah on this planet? I bet an Astra Porta at least."

Yeah, telling them I read the books and saw the TV shows will make them doubt my sanity or their existence. A quick surveillance pointed us to several spots, three big spots that had Naquadah, two in the States and one in Egypt, and several smaller hits spread out over the world a lot of them in the States again.

Parvati zoomed in, "The biggest is an Astra Porta, it is in a Hangar and is operational. The Americans are visiting other planets! Wait… the second one is deep inside a mountain, the size indicates it is a second Astra Porta... it is active too. Oh, Morgana, they are traveling to other planets! To the kind of people we just heard on Subspace!"

Lavender sighed, "What are the odds that we are the Tauri?"

I said, "Now that our bad guy is dead, others show up. There is a high chance that we are the Tauri, Lavender. We better crank our defenses up. What I know, is that we need one of those two Astra Portas to get to Atlantis. Only the Astra Porta from Earth has access to Atlantis, so we need to reclaim our Porta."

We found everything, the spaceship in Egypt, the dialing device in Russia, and the worms close to naquadah, one in Seattle with a lot of equipment, Seth I suppose, and two on jars on the sea bottom, one dead and the other in stasis. The South Pole with the ancient outpost, and Merlin's stash in Glastonbury Thor.

I commented, "According to the memory in my mind, in Glastonbury is a dangerous device. It allows you to transfer your mind to exchange with another mind, no matter the distance, that one communicates with the original Galaxy, they had to flee from there. Using that device will alert them and draw them to us."

Lavender sighed, "Another enemy."

I nodded, "A sleeping one, and hope they keep on sleeping. On my first test flight, I am going to collect all the Naquadah on Earth except the Astra Portas. With that, I can build better equipment. A long-range scanner and a prime-quality spy drone. That drone can hack into a conversation, worm its way inside the computer, and download everything."

Parvati commented, "We can activate the outpost on the South Pole too. The power cell must be almost depleted by the look of it, keeping ice out is taxing on the power consumption. With the Naquadah you can make a good Power generator."

That is good thinking from Parvati. I selected one of the new computers I made for the Longbottoms and downloaded a few hundred models of power generators with all their specs, on another computer I downloaded a wide selection of battleships and long-distance ships. A third computer got a selection of weapons and technology.

I presented the computers and said, "Girls, select power generators for our shipyard, outpost, and here, the other computer has models of battleships to choose from, I suggest selecting an older model, as long as I can not measure your brain power the Lantean models are out, I did not put them in the computer. Once you select a model, we will adapt it to our needs, have fun. I will prepare two construction tables for the new long-range scanner and spy drone."

That will keep them busy for a few hours. You may ask why not keep using the Crystals because they are the early ZPMs? We call them Potentia's. Well, compare them between a campfire and a nuclear plant. I cut some corners with those Crystals, that campfire can easily become a forest fire. Naquadah reactors deliver a steady energy without the risk of going boom. The ZPM has a pocket dimension to draw energy from, I aggravate the Crystals to release Magic power without any safeties.

I concentrated on the long-range scanner, this one has to be in orbit in a fixed position… I can combine it with a defense platform! It will fit in our backyard and take most of the Naquadah, but it can take everything the Goa'uld can bring to Earth… nah, it will blast everything apart that is not Asgard, Nox, or has our DNA. Keep it Simple Asshole… no, Keep it Simple Sucker! That makes it K.I.S.S., I wonder if someone noticed that too. I am a genius.

I was done with the scanner at Dinner time, Kreacher was pampering his Pureblood Mistresses and ignored me completely, meh. The discussion was lively, the power generators were selected fast, the Battleship Models were harder to choose from, Lavender liked the Destiny class the best, Luna was for a battle station that defends the solar system, the twins were for an early model resembling the Lantean Aurora class.

To be honest, all had their good and bad sides. I did not like the Destiny model, mostly because of the TV series Star Gate Universe. I did not like that show at all, mostly because of the characters. That leading scientist, whatever his name was, if I had been on that crew, he would be dead after a few episodes. He was a total asshole. That was a big part of why the show did not survive imo.

But, that is me nagging about things that will never happen in this world, meh, I will make them all happy, "We take all three models, we start with the Destiny class, which is the smallest so we can build two or three instead of a big one. After that, we go for Padma's and Parvati's Battleship. That Battle station is for guard duty and science station for our new Capital at Rigil. How does that sound?"

Luna dropped a spoon on the floor "Oops" the little things make life worth living, the big things too. Luna was good at it.

Andromeda agreed to be my Proxy for Potter and Black, I confiscated the Malfoy elf and gave it to her to take care of Teddy Lupin.

I handed her a Communicator, taught her how it works, and said, "This is a small example of what I am capable of, Aunty. I don't have time or patience to deal with the Wizarding world. You are a Proxy for two seats and getting paid for two, Aunty."

Aunty Andi sighed, "I will do it for you, Harry, and I admit, the money is welcome. Last year was hard on all of us."

I hugged her when I left, "Better times are coming, Aunty, I will appoint you as my Proxy at the next meeting of the Mot. You are keyed in at Grimmauld Place and can visit any time of day."

Neville came the next morning with his family which now Hannah and Susan included, each one got a turn at the Repository and sat on the couches to process the data. Each receives a workplace and computer to get familiar with the data and technology. After a few hours, Aunty and Uncle went home, they were still building their strength up and tired easily.

Susan and Hannah discussed the Destiny design with Lavender and how to improve the design. With newer, stronger engines, the Solar Matter Collector was redundant and made room for smaller, more efficient Naquadah power generators, extra weaponry, and two improved transporter beam stations. The shields and cloak got upgraded too, even the shuttles got a make-over. Well after Dinner all the improvements were done.

It was the same with Neville and the twins, they adjusted the design of the Battleship and added Naquadah power generators, A flaw from the ancients was they simplified everything, why three generators when one can do the trick? If something malfunctions the maintenance droids will have it repaired within the hour.

The guys added a lot of close combat defense guns to fight off small fighter crafts. Luna, now her design was put on the shelf, was feeding the construction droids outside. It was well after Dinner when all the improvements were done.

At Dinner, we enjoyed our company, talking about future plans and forgetting the past for a while. When dessert was done, Lavender looked at Hannah and nodded, both dropped a spoon, "Oops." Well after Dinner we got back to work. Neville now has a designated room to relax in with Hannah and Susan.

When they left for home, I said, "Tomorrow morning the shuttle is ready, we will be testing it all day, so if you want to join in the fun clear your schedule."

Neville chuckled, "Oh, we will be here alright, we are not missing this for all the Galleons in the world. Besides, we signed the contracts and are employees now."

Xxxxx

Bright and early in the morning, Neville, Susan and Hannah came to work. They got the second download and boarded the shuttle on the passenger seats. They watched the dashboard and recognized all the equipment. The pilot and copilot seats are simplified control chairs like the one at the outpost, allowing us to fly it with our minds.

It demanded a good grasp on the concentration of the pilots to differentiate between focus and intent to fly the craft, and wandering thoughts or conversing with passengers.

The girls drew straws and Lavender won the co-pilot seat. I raised the cloak and shield and asked, "Are all systems green?"

Lavender glanced over the instruments and answered, "All green, Harry, or should I say Captain?"

I shook my head, "Harry is fine, Honey is good too. Babe… Meh, that will do too."

I started the engine, the first thing I tested was our transport beam, I beamed a constructor droid in, then I asked for a volunteer to be beamed, Neville raised his hand, the others too, but I picked Neville. I beamed Neville just outside the shuttle, he dropped on his ass, I see, beaming will be in the position he is in. He took it in stride and shrugged it off as a learning experience. I beamed him back on board.

"The cloak works perfectly, Harry," reported Neville, "I stood right next to the shuttle and could not see or hear a thing, the only thing I noticed were the prints of the landing gear on the grass."

"That is great news, Nev, I'll try a long-distance beam, how about I beam you on your front lawn?" I asked.

"Try it" answered Neville, "Do you think you get me through the wards?"

I beamed him down, Lavender called out, "He arrived in one piece, Honey. Beam him back in."

Neville appeared again, "That is about three hundred miles and very smooth, Harry. I prefer this above portkey or apparating any day of the week."

"The Power Crystals can manage it easily," reported Lavender, "we brought enough spares to last for years. Although beaming Naquadah is more taxing on the beam."

I lifted off and took the tourist route around London. Yes, this one has windows, the shield takes the pressure away from the hull so there is minimal stress on the shuttle. You say cloak and shield can not work together? Bullshit, the cloak has to be projected outside the shield and Bob is your Uncle.

Lavender commented, "The inertial dampers are working fine, you can leave your seats. Harry, I pinned the location of that shuttle in Egypt and set the course outside the normal flight routes of the muggle airplanes."

With a thought I set off, that was a confusing discussion with my ignorant purebloods at dinner yesterday. Hannah had to confirm my words of the amount of airplanes that are in the air each day. Luna hacked her way into the control center of Heathrow and downloaded a map with Europe's traffic lines.

We traveled over the ocean and tested our speed, we kept it at Mach four until we reached Gibraltar, we took a turn to the left and went over the Mediterranean Sea until we reached Egypt.

I kept it under the speed of sound over land until I stopped and hovered above the top of the temple. "The coast is clear, Honey. Do we beam the trinkets up too?"

I nodded, "Yes, so we can study their science, I have a feeling they are copycats that based their technology on ours. Beam it in, love."

The cargo space began to fill with Naquadah, it was enough to complete all my projects and then some. The Goa'uld items were beamed close behind our chairs, all the classic Goa'uld weapons were represented, a staff weapon, and the Zatnicle or something, I can't exactly recall its name… a Zapper! That will do.

Lavender beamed the computer up too, the star shards of their territory may be outdated but if you have none it is worth it. We left a useless husk behind, the engines and hyperdrive damaged beyond repair with the key parts beamed away. We beamed all the small spots of Naquadah up from all over Egypt, the Goa'uld left some stuff behind when they left.

Lavender said, Harry? I detect a Potentia, a fully loaded one, and a… Muggle device next to it. What do you want to do?"

I shrugged, "Beam it up and mark the spot with a locator, we can return one when we have enough Potentias of our own. Now it is a God's gift to power Atlantis."

With a full load, I returned home and unloaded, I looked to the others, "Who wants to be pilot and co-pilot for a trip to Seattle?"

Neville shook his head, "We are still processing the data, Harry."

Padma on the wheel and Parvati shot-gun got us in no time above a luxurious mansion. Parvati beamed the trinkets on his body up first, then she beamed Seth up, I stunned him before he could react and tied him up in ropes.

"Harry these women are under the influence of a mind-altering substance," reported Parvati, "That man has some of it on him too, I put a shield around him to isolate it."

I conjured a fishbowl with water, "Beam that worm into the bowl, and the man back in his place. Try to get a fix on those particles and beam them away. Then you can beam all that man's stuff up."

That got us another load of goodies to sort out. We let the gold for the mind-controlled women, it probably is theirs anyway. That man is too old to survive long but long enough to set those women free.

Padma did a sweep over the USA while Parvati beamed all the worms in reach in our bowl, she reported, "There is one at the Astra Porta deep down in that mountain but it is not attached at the neck, but in a belly pouch. It is smaller than these ones."

That is Tealc, hmm, we can use SG1, removing the worm will alert them, "Let them keep it, we can't wake sleeping dogs. Can you get access to their computer?"

Parvati nodded, "I can, but it will take time, a time we don't have if we want to get back home for dinner."

Luna commented, "And it is her turn to drop the spoon."

We reached Mach eight on the way home when Parvati said to Padma, "Step on it and you can help." we got home on time. I did not complain at all.

Way after dinner I beamed all the Goa'uld stuff in a storage room and gave the worms a bigger tank. They were not happy at all. Everyone started to analyze the Goa'uld technology while Luna and I made a short trip to Glastonbury. I beamed all the good stuff up, the communication table and communication stones got separated, I disabled the transporter rings and left Merlin's good stuff behind.

I told Luna, "We will come back later when we are better organized, the gold and jewelry will sell well in the muggle world. This is something Merlin put here, very old stuff."

Luna looked at the pile, "A lot of it will not be sold, Honey, I bet we will sort it first. Consider it an employee bonus."

We returned with the treasure and beamed it in the Parlor, yes, I have one of those, and let the girls loose on it, Hannah and Susan looked at it, I said, "Susan, Hannah, that is an employee bonus, and since you are employees, you have as much rights as my girls. Go for it."

I grinned at Neville, "Happy employees work harder, that makes a happy boss. Nev? There is manly stuff in too, you know."

While they sorted the trinkets, I let the construction table create a newer model Naquadah construction table, another table constructed a more advanced computer. To prevent escaping, the worms got a bigger fish tank in the dungeon with an automatic feeding system and a shield around it, they could get in the tank but not out.

When it was done, I programmed it to let the new Construction table produce a long-range spy drone and several very small ones with a cloak, the small ones are for the Astra Porta in the Mountain. Then the Constructor droids from the lawn were ordered to make a new model long-range scanner. When everything was set in action it was time for bed.

The girls are cranky, not my fault, Aunty Red is visiting this week. They are not cranky for long, My fixer got rid of the cramps, I can say that they truly love… the Fixer.

After breakfast, I said to everyone, "We have to start the shipyard and mining facility up at Mining One, who is coming? Everyone? Great, we load the miners and all the construction droids up."

Neville is driving today, and I am on shotgun duty. Shielded and cloaked, with our space shields on, Neville took off, he flew to a secluded spot on the ocean, and went ballistic. Strapped into our chairs it was like we were in a roller coaster going up… not!

We did not feel much due to the internal dampers, Neville could fly up with a lower angle, but he is eager to be in space. The scanner told me all was clear, once outside the atmosphere, I set the course to Mining One, Neville got us in Hyperspace and relaxed.

"A half-hour to arrival," he said, "Anyone up for exploding snap? To be honest I expected a bit more trill."

A few card games later we came out of Hyperspace, Neville flew us to the spot Parvati selected and landed. I started to beam the droids out, They got to work, the mining droids beamed material in while the constructor droids laid a foundation for the shipyard, starting with a shielded room for the computers and power generators.

Once the room was completed and shielded, the droids started to create a big Naquadah power generator followed by new droids powered by the Naquadah generator, everything sped up, droids made new droids, which made more droids.

After doubling their numbers several times, there were 1500 Construction drones and 2000 Mining droids, then the mining droids made a long stretch of land flat for the first Destiny Mark II. Once the limit of droids was reached, they started on the new Destiny. These new droids are scary fast.

A few of my old mining droids were mining Gold and dropped it on a designated spot. The rest of the droids from Earth got another job. We beamed them back on board with the gold and left to have dinner.

Susan was driving home with Hannah, reentry in the atmosphere took longer than going out, descending to Earth can not be done with a Wrongski feint, we were just on time for dinner though after a bathroom break. The girls did not like the loo on the shuttle, not enough privacy they said. I rolled my eyes, a silencing spell would reduce all noise they would produce.

No "Oops" this time, they were not in the mood.

Xxxxx

I started programming the second shipyard after dinner, then the autopilot of the shuttle, that way it can transport loads of raw materials to earth and beam them down, which leaves room to build a new and improved shuttle.

The next day the girls stayed home to analyze the scans from the long-range scanners, it was only Neville and I this time. It was easier to activate Mining Two. We were done faster than expected with the first shipyard, so we decided to activate the second shipyard.

Mining two was set up faster than the first one, once the second shipyard started production, we loaded our Cargo space with Trinium and Naquadah and flew back to Earth.

I told Nev, "Stay a hundred miles above London so we can beam our cargo down in our backyard. Then activate the autopilot, I programmed the ship to collect more raw materials and beam them down. With four loads we can build a new shuttle."

Yeah, programming is my job, I have most of them in my database, I will not risk a third download in their brain as long I do not measure their brain power. Tomorrow we will explore Rigil.

We beamed down, just in time for dinner.

Xxxxx

Parvati discussed the results from the first scan, "The Goa'uld control a big part of the galaxy and are using the Astra Portas intensively. The Tauri messed it up well, they went in 94 to a planet called Abydos and killed Ra, the leader of the Goa'uld. They have a Feudal system, that made the others fight over the territory. Apophis is coming out on top at the moment. He will come knocking on our door once he has the power."

Padma said "We have the blueprints of their Spaceships, they have four basic models: the Ha'tak, which are big pyramid ships 2000 ft square and 1000 ft height, there are bombers named Al'kesh, scouters called Tel'tak, and smaller fighters named Death Gliders. And they have a lot of them."

Susan added, "The US Military is doing missions, their base is in Colorado in a mountain. It is called Stargate Command. The teams are called SG1 to 12 or more, we have yet to hack into their computer. The major troublemakers are SG1. They are kicking up a storm everywhere they go. The other Astra Porta is also in use but unofficially by an organization called the NID. We removed some of the worms from those guys. I suggest taking that Astra Porta away from them."

I nodded, "I'll beam it away when the first Destiny is ready."

"We have to start recruiting, those spaceships need a crew. That crew needs new homes," said Lavender, "We should get started on Rigil, dig the Astra Porta up, and select a spot to start a settlement."

I gathered my thoughts, "We need someone to look for a good spot to build a city. Maybe we need a third mining site, one for Building droids on Rigil. Those building droids don't have to be made from Trinium. Titanium or vanadium is good enough. In a few days the new shuttle will be done, I estimate every three days for a new shuttle. Soon we will have enough shuttles for everyone."

Neville offered, "I can ask my parents to explore Rigil. A new long-range spy drone and short-range scanner are free for them to use now that the long-range scanner took over."

I took a deep breath, "Let's upgrade our equipment first, the shuttle is bound to be here soon with a load of Naquadah, Trinium, and other metals. We can start to make the good stuff."
