SG1 Dudes and Dudettes, Mrs. J.K., I am not slowing down at the moment, chapter 3 is just been posted and I am typing Chapter 9, Yes, I am that good! I rule! OK, I admit I am bored out of my mind and use this to fill the void that is my life… that is deep stuff!

I answered, "That will be our next mission. I have to build a hard light Hologram projector first so that we can upload the plans from Atlantis to practice ways to change a ZPM without drowning."
9 Apophis, Atlantis, A Pain in the ass.
Parvati was puzzled, "Where are you going to install that? That room must be huge to simulate anything the size of the rooms in Atlantis."
"At Rigil, there is plenty of room to make a hangar big enough to install Hologram projectors. It can be used to train our troops or simulate new inventions. I'll ask Neville to calculate it in the plans."
I better wait until Apophis is done visiting Earth before going to Atlantis. If memory serves me right it is between now and the end of July, the Atlantis expedition was in 2004 or 2005, so in six or seven years, I suspect the shields are still holding on.
Well, at the moment we are more than strong enough to destroy two Ha'taks. I returned to Grimmauld Place and had lunch, the elves had a blast, so many people to cook for and clean after, lunch boxes for the Rigil crew, they were getting compliments and thank you's left and right, they were in Elf Heaven!
Dean reported, "The Goa'uld reversed engineered the technology we left behind when we left for Pegasus. It is clumsy and ineffective, but they compensate it with size and numbers. Our Destiny can easily handle four Ha'taks, but they have about two to three thousand Ha'taks. Each Ha'tak has three wings of Al'kesh bombers, a dozen of Tel'tak scouts, and Twelve Wings of Death Gliders, and 2000 troops on average."
He raised his arm with the bracelet, "Their personal Kara'kesh is a cheap rip-off from the shield of our bracelet, it is made to impress the Jaffa and slaves, they have a handheld healing device, also a cheap rip-off from our bracelet."
Sean pointed out, "These Ha'tak are easy to destroy or capture if you can surprise them with their shields down. Alice, Dean, and I have developed a strategy to capture them without firing a single shot. Beam the shield generator up, then the main controls of the Hyperdrive and sub-light engines, followed by the controls of their weapons and the computer core, and last, any Astra Porta. Then it is simple beam the ones with worms on their neck up in a cell without their trinkets."
Alice explained further, "After all that, we have to put a shield around the Ha'tak to prevent the Al'kesh bombers and Death gliders from leaving. Install an Astra Porta in a cargo bay, and beam the Jaffa unarmed before the gate and shove them through wherever you want to send them."
Dean added, "If they have their shield up, we estimate it needs a blast with all the guns of a Destiny to go through the shield. After that you can use the previous scenario. Transporter beams are a terrifying weapon in the wrong hands."
I smiled, "I will create a virtual simulator and add the specs of our shuttle, Destiny, and Aurora. You will add the data from the Goa'uld in and see if your strategy works."
Dean was eager, "Virtual Reality? Like in those Sci-fi movies?"
Alice punched Dean's arm, "You are in a Sci-fi world, silly. The technology we know is ten times better than anything from Star Trek. Harry? Is that Virtual simulator used in a stasis pod or live?"
I answered, "Live, Alice, VR in stasis is for long duration traveling when the crew is put in stasis and they run programs to prepare for their tasks or for entertainment. A battle simulation is only for a few hours at a time."
It could also be a tool for pilot training. After lunch, I searched my database for a good training model, nothing fancy but durable, I found a closed cabin where the pilot sits in a modified Control Chair. I programmed two Construction droids to produce a dozen of them, while I asked Tabba and Mano to clear a room on the ground floor that was not in use and put the finished pods inside.
My attention shifted to Stargate Command, I accessed the main computer and opened their file, Lavender or Parvati had smuggled small cloaked spy drones inside the main rooms of the complex, the gate room, the command center, the infirmary, the General's office and briefing room, and the major hallways. Everything is recorded and stored under the NR of the drone.
When I contacted Lavender, I asked, "Lavender? Did you or Parvati follow up on the spy drones in Stargate Command?"
Lavender shook her head, "Occasionally we rewind the recordings to see if something interesting was happening, mostly it was teams stepping through the Porta, they have rigged the Porta to work with a computer, there are some smart people in there. But they are living dangerously, bypassing the securities is a bad idea. We have the dialing device in storage, we collected it from Russia a few days after our first test flight, I say we give it to them when we make first contact or we take their gate away."
"I think we need a spymaster with a team to analyze all the data," I commented, "and maybe tag a few teams with trackers like we did with those criminals from the NID, they are trouble magnets. Ah, I see a file with mission reports, I'll read those first. How cold is it up there?"
Lavender shivered, "It is bloody winter here, Harry! Even below in the outpost, it is chilling to the bone. We just finished delivering the maintenance bots and repair Droids. We also installed a transport beam to beam a layer of ice away just above the outpost to release the pressure on the shield. I set the level of access to level two, those drones are scary, you can destroy a Ha'tak with one single shot, even with its shield up. We'll be back before dinner."

I spent the rest of my time reading the mission reports of SG1, it refreshed my memory, they met the Nox, the Tollan, they went to Chimera and destroyed Thor's hammer... That quantum mirror that gives access to other universes seems interesting, I focused a long-range scanner on the base and searched for that mirror, if memory serves me right it was stored on the base inside the mountain… nope. Area 51 perhaps… tadaa! Hmm, this is something one of our mad scientists made. Mine now!
What else is here… these people have been hoarding, a lot of our stuff they can't activate, thank Merlin nobody with our genes works there… let the Grays from Roswell take the blame. I'll take it all. Now that I think of it, that mirror being in Area 51 means they must have visited the alternate world. It won't be long now, I hope we can finish the Auroras before they come.
My next project is a third shipyard, it will focus on defense platforms like the one in Atlantis. And small long-range scanners in a small shuttle to search for our technology and send the mark to us with the information of what technology it is and if it is compromised. Abydos is on that list too.
I located an Asteroid belt at the star Luyten's Star with all the good stuff, tomorrow or the day after I will start my third Shipyard there. I need to create… no, I have to follow the Asgard idea and combine the beaming technology with constructing technology. The knowledge is there, we were too blind to see it.
The beams deconstruct everything until the last particle, we just have to rearrange the composition of the atoms and beam it down in the shape we want. Our Construction Droids are doing that already, combining them with the Mining droids is just one step further.
Hmm, I have to discuss it with the girls.
Xxxxx
Dinner was a dining hall full of people, everyone was eager to explain their experiences and progress. It was clear with the extra help everything gets faster done, the transit center at Potter Manor is a day away from completion, Rigil City Center is complete, now all that is left are the residential areas.
Neville got the word that plenty of Veela would want refuge after they were saved, he doubled the mining and building droids. We have to discuss our recruiting and recording methods and establish an order on how to proceed. It is getting complicated, each day something happens to mess with our schedule.
After dessert was finished, Padma spoke up, "As promised, we will give you your two months' starting bonus. As Level Three, you will start with 400 Galleons a month, which means 800 Galleons. That brings us to the following problem, our beaming technology can beam everything from everywhere. So basically we can rob Gringotts from here. Therefore we will restrict beaming gold on Earth."
To stop the protests she raised her hand, and explained, "On Rigil, we have a treasury, if you deposit your money there you get a credit card and you can pay for it on Rigil or any other planet we will colonize in the future. If you want to visit Earth you can withdraw your Galleons from the treasury and pay with them on Earth. You can use Gringotts services too if you want."
Angelina stood up, "This day gave us a lot to think about, Padma. We are part of this new world now, we will make it work. I am off, see you tomorrow." She beamed away with her bag of Galleons.
One by one, they all beamed away, Fleur and Bernadette stayed behind, Fleur reported, "We saved the most urgent cases and managed to heal them, at the moment the Enclaves are sheltering them. Twenty of our sisters could not been taken, they are spelled with trackers, Runes carved in their bones, that will lead them to the Enclaves. I want to take them to Rigil when the houses are done."
Neville informed her, "Tomorrow a district will be ready, we just need to discuss how we are going to manage the inflow of Immigrants."
Bernadette, suggested, "All the Veela we talked to want to move to your… our new world, we volunteer to manage the Immigrants once they have a bracelet that controls their allure."
Hannah said, "Harry, we need production workers to manage the construction tables. We need thousands of Bracelets and household appliances, the houses are empty, no beds, couches, tables, chairs, or kitchen tools, all of it has to be constructed and distributed. Oh, Morgana, that is a lot of work."
I searched my database for a simpler model of a bracelet, the one I found had a different look, a good shield, and some minor healing, it protected against germs and viruses, it could also control the allure. I added a unique ID code to it that automatically registered the person to the main frame of the City on arrival and last but not least a Communicator.
I sent the blueprint to a constructor table and ordered a few hundred to start with. When the first dozen were done, I gave them to Fleur and Bernadette, "This is the bracelet every Lantean will have to wear, it has a Communicator, a shield, can heal minor wounds, protect you from germs and can control your allure. It also has an ID code, it records your DNA, Magic and voice like ours, it also registers you when you arrive or leave on our planet on the Main frame of the City."
"Take these to those twenty and bring them to Rigil, put them in a wizarding tent inside the City wards. Bring twelve of your sisters here tomorrow for their first Download and they will help Angeline's team set Potter Manor up for the first Immigrants."
Fleur grabbed Padma, Bernadette grabbed Hannah and gave them a long hot snog. Smirking, they beamed away. Neville grabbed Susan and Hannah and beamed away.
I looked hungry to my girls, "That got me in the mood, girls, bed, now!"
Lavender grabbed me, "Nope, here on the dinner table. Get naked, Potter."
Daphne and Tracey, who were discussing their day in a silent corner, watched us go wild, Daphne shook her head and said to Tracey, "Astoria is a lost cause, I doubt if she will ever come home again. Damn, that Potter has some stamina."
"And a fine ass, they seem to enjoy his cock too," sighed Tracey, "I need a boyfriend, badly."
When our urges were sated, I managed to upgrade our construction droids, inspired by the Asgard, I managed to double the performances of the Droids and made construction tables redundant. First I upgraded all Droids and ordered to build twenty more of them before I went to bed.
Xxxxx
Then new Construction Droids were transported to Potter Mansion and installed in a workplace that connected the Mansion with the huge transit hall. I showed Dan and Jane the controls and command codes for letting the droids produce items. Angelina's team had to install the new Repositories and stations to hand out the bracelets.
We explained the order of procedures, "First they have to sign a temporary contract, they have to wear the new bracelet, only then can they have their first download. When a thousand are done we activate the Astra Porta and let them explore the City and our new world. After a week they have to swear an oath on their Lantean Knowledge to join our Nation and be loyal to it."
I said, "Post it in big words that If they betray it, the bracelet will remove all knowledge of our science and culture, and are automatically moved back to Earth. Trying to remove the bracelet will do the same."
Angelina nodded, "Leave it to us, Harry. Dan and Jane will manage the droids, we will manage the Halls."

Astoria and Tracey came along to pilot the new Destinies, Tracey went with Neville to Mining One, I took Astoria to Mining Two. I beamed on board and opened the shuttle bay door. I closed the door and let Astoria take the pilot Chair. I noticed that the Chair adjusted its output to let Astoria fly it safely, "Lift off and stay in beaming range, Astoria, I have to program the yard for the Aurora."
Twenty minutes later we moved to Mining One where I did the same, "This one will patrol Rigel. Astoria, you are keyed in as one of the pilots allowed to fly it. But first, fly to earth so I can key you and Tracey in all four Destinies. Destiny One and Two have to get back to Mining One to get their Medical beds upgraded, that will be your and Tracey's job, it will be done in a few minutes and you get them back to Earth. Cloak and Shields up all the time. Honey."
We keyed the girls in as pilots and beamed back to Earth. At home, I showed the VR cabins to Dean Sean and Alice, "I already programmed the stats of the shuttle, Destiny, and Aurora in the cabin, once you have put the stats of the Goa'uld spaceships in the list of alien spaceships we can have realistic battle simulations. The more accurate you can program it, the safer our fighters will be. Have fun testing it out."
Xxxxx
Lavender contacted me, "Harry, our long-range scanner picked two signals up in Hyperspace that are heading for Earth, they will be here in two days. Ha'taks, Harry."
Hmm, faster than I expected, "Our Destinies will take care of them, Lavender, it is Apophis no doubt."
Parvati commented, "The Stargate Program was shut down, we just downloaded the last mission reports and the order to close operations… SG1 deserted and went through the Astra Porta to try and stop the invasion as they called it."
I thought for a minute, "Parvati, put a folder together for the Muggles, Kingsley will have to give it to the Prime Minister. I will make some Com-stones to be delivered with them. Hmm, would you lovely girls pay a visit to our Queen, and deliver an upgraded Hologram Communication stone and a copy of that folder? Oh! Take Hermione with you, she will love it. We will have an emergency meeting in Potter Manor first."
The meeting room looked more like an amphitheater, when everyone was seated, Parvati and Lavender explained the situation and the treat. Dean posted the files of the Goa'uld spaceships to their tablets, Sean showed Holo images on the stage, and the suggested plan of attack.
Dan Granger objected, "You can not attack those ships unprovoked! That is a declaration of war!"
Alice Tolipan pointed out, "We can take this ship with no loss of lives, breaking through their shields will cause deaths. Also, they are coming to bombard us from orbit and destroy all technology, setting us back centuries, can you imagine all of our nuclear power plants destroyed? The radiation will be enough to kill all life on Earth."
I suggested, "We will confront them in a modified shuttle, with an extra-strong shield engine and power generator, that shuttle can tank everything they can throw at it, in their arrogance they will not raise their shields. Also, chances are that a Team from Earth is on board one of those ships, we have to calculate that in too."
We came up with a plan of action, the pilots trained in the VR and the shuttle got buffed.
Xxxxx
Kingsley and I visited the Prime Minister, that man was not a happy bloke, "What is it this time? Are you going to say something before you wipe my mind again? Why do you even bother to show up? Your kind is doing whatever they want anyway!"
I grinned at Kingsley, "The Prime Minister has a point, Kingsley, you have some groveling to do before they trust us again… no, they won't, not with those idiots we had before you."
Kingsley sighed, the last few hours I showed him that the small wrist communicator I gave him was the tip of the iceberg, "No, Prime Minister, we came to inform you of Mug… Normal people issues. Let me first show you a new way of communicating with us, this here is the Holo-Com. Press it and say Register with your name please, then I will get to the point. To call me, press this button and say Kingsley, and I will answer the call."
After the Prime Minister pressed the button, Kingsley gave the Prime Minister a stack of papers, and a small cube, "The day after tomorrow, two spaceships will enter our Solar system with the intention to bombard us back to the Middle Ages. Earth, represented by the US Military, provoked that attack by killing its strongest leader. I know it is unbelievable, but Lord Potter showed me the proof. It is documented in those papers and that cube will show the holograms of what is coming for us."
Kingsley pressed a button on the cube and a Ha'tak appeared, projected above the cube, "Two of them, 2500 ft square and 1000 ft high, I was told. Lord Potter assured me that he can and will handle it."
The prime Minister looked at the Hologram and turned to us, "Hand all the technology over to us, we will do the rest, I doubt you can fight it on your broomsticks"
I laughed out loud, that was actually funny, I hiccuped, "That is true, Kingsley, I can see that happening, Broom versus Death Glider! Epic!"
I looked at the Prime Minister, "Sorry, that technology only works with our DNA, but if you want technology, start talking to your friend and ally the President of the US, all the data is in the folder."
Why do I let myself know to the PM you ask? Soon he will find out anyway when the news of our planet hits the streets. Now I handed him ammo to get something from the Americans.
The face from the Queen appeared on the Holo-Com, "Lord Potter, there must be something we can work out, maybe launching some satellites? Miss Granger told me she was happy to provide that service as a favor. Or perhaps sharing some data from your satellites?"
Damn! I forgot Hermione has an authority obsession, she had it with Dumbledore, meeting the Queen would blow all her fuses.
I smiled at the hologram, "Our Council will discuss how much we can share safely, Your Majesty. I bet you have one vote already with Miss Granger."
The Queen's face lighted up, "That pleases Us, Lord Potter, would it be acceptable to let an observer witness this confrontation?"
I nodded, "One, and he or she has to be aware or related to the Magic community. Let it hold this token and I will take care of the rest." I conjured a small model of the tower clock Big Ben and beamed it to the Queen. That beam in itself send a message, I know where you are and I can reach you whenever I want.
Xxxxx
I sat in my shiny new Shuttle and beamed the person with the token on board. The Queen had some common sense and sent a thirty-forty-year-old woman dressed in a civilian outfit, looking like an Aunty, I handed her a bracelet, "Put this on, Madam, it will keep you safe. There is no need to search for your weapon, it is still in your base. My name is Lord Potter, but you can call me Harry."
The woman looked me up and down, I was in jeans and a T-shirt, the T-shirt had the slogan: I Am Awesome! And two fists with thumbs held up, "Captain Miranda Barns, you can call me Captain."
I smiled, "Take a seat, Captain, you can fly shotgun as they call it."
We took off from my backyard and showed her we were in London, then we flew to the channel, and from there I stepped on the gas, Mach six took us fast to the ocean where I went ballistic, not too steep though, Captain was not strapped in. A bit later we were in outer space.
I grinned at her, "We have some time, let's take the tourist route, you will find it interesting, oh, if you are looking for a bathroom it is behind that door."
We did the grand tour, I hovered beside a moon buggy at the Moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn is always impressive, Jupiter, Ur Anus, and Neptune. Surprisingly she was a lot friendlier after that tour. She did have to pee when she saw Ur Anus.
Ah! They are here, the Ha'taks came out of Hyperspace. We followed them until I got the message the whole planet had them on their telescopes. Apophis took his time, he wanted to make a big impression on the world. Neville's voice came through, *Get in position, Harry, we are about ready, you can start whenever you want.*
I moved in front of the first Ha'tak and uncloaked, my voice in Goa'uld boomed in the Ha'taks, "This is Lord Potter, addressing the two spaceships heading for the Tauri planet, state your purpose for this visit."
"A God does not answer to lower beings," came the answer
I said, "And yet you just did, What is the reason for trespassing our region, puny God?"
The movie is not out yet so I am original! The God did not have a sense of humor and ordered to shoot at me, more and more blasts came my way, those naffers were aiming manually at me, so most of them missed, Captain was glad she took a leak when she saw the impacts on my shield. Suddenly, four persons were beamed into my shuttle.
I turned, pointed to the empty chairs, and said, "Sit down and keep quiet."
In the meantime, my shields took a pounding. Captain thought it be funny when she pointed to the loo and said, "In there if you need to relieve yourself."
O'Neill saw the incoming blasts, "Shouldn't we get out of here? Who are you people?"
I pointed, "She is Captain, I am Harry. Sit down, shut up, and stop being a pain in the ass."
Daniel Jackson called out, "Save Skaara, please! He is infected with a Goa'uld!"
The blasts stopped, my shields still held strong at 90%, Our conversation was monitored, so a minute later a worm-free Skaara was beamed in.
"Daniel Jackson! I knew you came to save me! They have Sha're you have to save her too!" begged the kid.
Tealc asked, "Is it possible to spare Master Bra'tac?"
I shook my head, "They are leaving for a planet named Shulak now. I guess he is spared, nobody died yet The Hostst of those worms will be leaving with them."
O'Neill carefully asked, "You took control over those Ha'tak? Earth is not in danger anymore?"
I comforted him, "Don't worry, Colonel O'Neill, I bet you will endanger Earth again soon enough. That is your job is it not? Pissing off the leaders from most of this Galaxy and think you can save it with some C4 when they are coming to spank you?"
O'Neil protested, "We made some friends too! It is not all bad!"
"Ah, friends like the Tollan? Who needs enemies with friends like you? Mr Jackson saved your skin that day. Or the Nox? You were too arrogant to listen, if people can revive you from death, that should have been a big clue, don't you think?" was my answer.
I shook my head, "Those are not the only flaws, SG1, your actions to the more primitive worlds were devastating, Take Argos, for example, you cured them, yes? Now, when a woman gets a baby, will she know how to take care of it? Nine months pregnancy instead of a day? Did you teach them how to live?"
I asked, "What about Cimmeria? You destroyed their defense and said goodbye. Do you think Thor will like that? What will happen when the Goa'uld discover the Hammer is destroyed?"
Carter, who was looking her eyes out, said, "Sir, I recognize these symbols, they are the same as on the Star Gate! They are the Gate builders!"
Jackson looked up, he was preoccupied with Skaara, and looked around, "You are right, Sam," he turned to the Captain, *You be the keep builds one Porta?*
The Captain looked at Jackson as if he grew a second head, "What are you talking about?"
I giggled, "Excuse him, Captain he has a terrible dialect. He asked if we are the Gate Builders."
I got serious, "Now, to whom do we send our bill? Saving Earth doesn't come cheap you know? I had to build a new shuttle just for this, and all the junk we have to dispose of, that will take weeks!"
O'Neill thought to be funny, "We don't mind dealing with the junk. That will reduce the bill isn't it?"
I shook my head, "You are a real comedian, Jack O'Neill, do you think giving two Ha'taks with all the trimmings to you will reduce the bill? Alright, I can be funny too, I want this woman in payment, she is kind of smart, easy on the eyes, and probably good for a dozen babies. What do you think? Two big Space ships with a lot of small ones inside for the bargain price of one prime class female."
O'Neill hesitated a few seconds too long to say "No!" Carter gave him death stares.
Tealc nailed it, "That is a good deal, Colonel O'Neill."
Jackson, probably sad that he isn't a female, said "Imagine what you can learn from them, Sam! Think about It."
Padma's voice came through the Com, *Cut the jokes, Potter or you will be sleeping alone tonight.*
I turned serious, I was kind of getting used to having them in my bed, "You will reveal the Astra Porta to all the nations. You will cooperate with other nations to explore through the Astra Porta. If not, we will take it away like we did with the one from the South Pole."
I warned them, "Tell Your President that the NID and their backers are on thin ice… did I forget something? Ah, We caught rogue agents using the Astra Porta from the South Pole stealing technology from other worlds, we are currently tracking twenty of them. Earth will be judged based on their behavior to see if you are worthy. This is the gate address of their base."
"A piece of advice, Miss Samantha Carter," I said to Carter, "the safeties in the Astra Porta are there for a reason, only fools would bypass them."
I looked at the captain, "The tourist route again, Captain?" She nodded. This time she was taking pictures.
I beamed the captain back from where she came from with the passengers and returned home, I got to prepare for Atlantis.
