Location: Deeper Inside the Ancient Structure
Time: A short while later
As they delved deeper into the ruins, James felt the weight of his new abilities settling upon him. He had become a force to be reckoned with—hilariously overpowered and yet completely grounded by the reality of their mission.
They entered a large chamber filled with intricate machinery and holographic displays, the air charged with energy. James's eyes widened at the sight of a massive device at the center of the room, pulsing with a deep blue light.
"What is that?" Samantha asked, stepping cautiously closer.
"I think it's some kind of power generator," James replied, excitement bubbling within him. "If I can tap into it, we could potentially power the energy weapons we just created."
"Do you think you can handle it?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow.
James shrugged, feeling a mix of confidence and caution. "I've got Alterian Technology Mastery now. I think I can figure it out."
"Just be careful," Jack said, stepping back to give him space.
James approached the generator, feeling the energy flowing through it. He placed his hands on the console, and the machine flared to life.
[Accessing Power Generator…]
As he interfaced with the device, images of energy flows and calculations flooded his mind. It was like a puzzle that he was finally able to piece together.
[New Skill Unlocked: Energy Manipulation]
Allows you to manipulate energy sources, enhancing weaponry and technology.
James grinned widely. "Yes! This is incredible! I can manipulate energy now!"
"Let's see what you can do, then," Jack said, an eager glint in his eyes.
"Okay, stand back!" James warned, channeling his newfound ability.
He focused on the generator, feeling the energy surge through him, and with a flick of his wrist, he redirected a stream of energy toward a nearby device. It lit up, the holographic display shimmering with life.
"Whoa!" Samantha exclaimed, her eyes wide. "You just powered that!"
"Let's see if I can amplify it," James said, focusing harder. He increased the energy flow, causing the device to hum loudly and emit a brilliant beam of light.
The beam shot across the room, striking the far wall and creating an impressive display of sparks and energy.
"James, maybe ease up on the power a bit!" Jack called, waving his hands as the beam illuminated the chamber.
"Sorry! I got carried away!" James said, laughing. "This is just too cool!"
Teal'c watched with keen interest. "You have gained great power, James. But with it comes great responsibility."
"Don't worry, I'll use it wisely," he promised, grinning at his teammates.
As they continued to explore the chamber, James felt an overwhelming sense of connection to the Alterian technology. He was no longer just a passive observer; he was an active participant in their adventures, and he was growing stronger with each passing moment.
