The following five days passed with the teams learning to work together, the addition of Asgard crew members helped the Vulcan crew members rapidly learn to maintain the systems of the ships.
Also, during the five days, small groups of Nox would come to learn from and teach the Vulcan people; while both groups believed in neutrality, the Vulcans did believe that they should defend themselves and others who were unable to do so themselves and not seclude themselves on their home world.
While the Nox would not try to force the Vulcan people to follow their way they would hold debates on the moral implications of the actions they would be taking in joining the travelers in their campaign against the goa'uld, from those debates the Vulcans would devise strategies that would allow them to both impede the goa'uld and aid other groups to eventually join in the fight and gain their freedom.
When presented with the plans Alex was impressed as they would have his teams in the Milky Way galaxy doing hit-and-run tactics to distract the goa'uld until other advanced races were able to join the fight and earn their freedom instead of just being handed everything which should make them appreciate everything once the ten years passed and most if not all of the travelers went on other missions.
Alex decided to pass the plans around to the Milky Way team to go over, which with the aid of their Asgard crew members who all had a basic understanding of the goa'uld helped give the plans more flesh, especially with the parts that would need to use parts from destroyed ships or dead jaffa as well as armor from rival goa'uld to target each other.
Also, during that time, Alex and Sam traveled to Pangar, and Kira opted to remain at base with Karen, who was enjoying herself exploring the planet; several times, they had to convince her to leave the animal life where she found it.
Stepping through the watery surface of the wormhole onto the planet Pangar, Sam looked around, they were in a forested area with a nearly overgrown path leading away from the Stargate toward what looked to be a city in the distance.
"How are we going to get Egeria?" Sam asked as they started walking to the city.
Alex shrugged, "We'll take a look at the tretonin, then see if we can come up with a synthetic version of it or offer them the watered-down super soldier serum you got from Natasha; it will do the same thing. I think only they will just need to take it once."
"What about the increased strength it gives?"
"All it will do is make them at most twice as strong as a normal human or you can adjust it to only enhance the immune system," he told her as he noticed a small group of people armed with gums resembling bolt action rifles leaving the city and heading their way.
"I can do that?" she asked as she also noticed the people.
"Yeah, you should have all the information on the serum needed to know how it will affect someone," he answered, then stopped as the front of the group of armed came within a hundred yards from them.
"I'll work on that while you talk to these people," she said while waving to the three people who left the group and made their way slowly across the gap.
Alex nodded then walked toward the three as Sam stood there focusing on the serum to see how she could adjust it.
When Alex and the three came within a few yards apart the man in the center spoke up, "Greetings, I am Tegar Commander of the Pangaran military and defense force, we were told you came through the ring the goa'uld left generations ago, I will warn you now that our people will not tolerate goa'uld enslavement," the man introduced himself and warned as they had recently found from a historical site that the goa'uld had used their people as slaves.
"Greetings, I am Alex, and that is my wife, Sam," Alex introduced himself and pointed to Sam, "We are not with the goa'uld. We came here searching for someone the goa'uld Ra imprisoned here a thousand or more years ago."
"You would need to speak with our civilian council and historians about that but wouldn't someone have died long ago?" Tegar asked while on the inside, he was hoping that they had not come for the goa'uld queen they were using to manufacture tretonin from the larva the scientists were forcing it to produce.
"No, she was placed into a stasis jar," Alex answered causing Tegar to internally flinch.
"Again you will need to speak to our civilian council leader."
"That's fine," Alex said with a shrug as Sam joined them.
"I'll need a sample of the drug to compare with what I have come up with," she said just loud enough for Alex to hear.
"I can take you to the council leader, but first, I must ask you to give us any weapons you are carrying," Tegar said after a few seconds.
Alex shook his head, "We do not carry weapons; you are welcome to search us as long as a female searches Sam," he told them, receiving a nod from Tegar, who waved for one of his men to search Alex while sending the other to get a female from the group to search Sam.
Once they were searched and confirmed to have no weapons, Tegar led them to the city; at the city's edge, the soldiers split off to return to their post while the two that searched for weapons stayed with them as they moved through the city until they reached the council building.
Tegar led them through the building and up a few floors to a large office, "Please wait here while I speak to Dollan our civilian leader." Tegar told them before entering the office after a knock.
After a few minutes, the door opened, and Tegar waved them in; Alex and Sam entered, followed by the soldiers who took up guard positions on either side of the door.
Across the desk from them stood a portly man with salt and pepper hair; while his expression was friendly and welcoming, there was an underlying concern in his eyes.
"Welcome to Pangar; Tegar tells me that you are here looking for someone who is in something called stasis."
Alex introduced himself and Sam before going into detail about their reason for coming to this world, "We've come to find the Tok'ra queen Egeria."
"Tok'ra? Egeria?" those were not names the historians had found in the most recent dig location.
"The Tok'ra are similar to the goa'uld in form while opposite in how they take a human host, Egeria was once a goa'uld who fought her genetic memories and opposed the others of her kind, she called herself Tok'ra which in the language of the goa'uld means against Ra, she started a shadow war with them until Ra discovered her rebellion, the war ended her when he stripped her from her host and sealed her in a stasis jar as punishment," Sam told Dollan as well as a woman who joined them just after they had given Dollan their names.
Dollan looked at the woman, "Zenna have your translations of the ruin's word walls mentioned any of this?"
"No, all we have been able to translate so far is that Ra fought a war here that ended suddenly; we are still having trouble with the sentence structures, as well as some of the sections of the walls being eroded over time," Zenna answered.
Dollan turned to Alex and Sam, "If this Egeria is still alive what do you intend to do with it?"
"Heal her and give her a new host to help the Tok'ra gain new numbers."
"We may have a problem then; our scientists have been studying the goa'uld they found in the ruins twenty years ago, and they have found that while it is weak, it can still produce larva; they are used to produce our medicines," Dollan said slumping in his seat.
"You are using goa'uld larva to make medicine?" Sam exclaimed shock on her face.
"Yes, they have found that the medicine greatly improves our immune systems and healing from what would be severe injuries quickly," Tegar supplied.
"You people are turning yourselves into jaffa," Alex told them acting shocked as well.
"Jaffa? Those are the soldiers of the goa'uld," Zenma explained to Tegar and Dollan who looked confused.
"They depend on the larval goa'uld in a pouch in their abdomen. Without the larva, they will grow sick and die in a few days. I assume you are noticing something similar happening to those on this medicine." Sam explained and received nods from Dollan and Tegar.
Dollan then looked devastated, "It is dying, and none of the larvae show signs of being queens; we may have six months to a year's worth of tretonin before we have used up it."
Alex stood up looking at the man with a piercing gaze, "We need to see her now if she is dying we need to know if we can save her, the Tok'ra are losing numbers, if they die off the goa'uld will be free of one element keeping them from spreading their domains faster," he told them causing them to look scared or ill.
"Bu, but they left our world so long ago. Why would they return?" Dollan asked realizing that Alex was warning of that possibility.
"Slaves or technology, they haven't forgotten this world. Eventually, they will either need new slaves or hosts or, if your technology is useful to them, then they get both slaves and tech," Sam answered.
"But we need the tretonin; if what you said is true, we could lose nearly twenty thousand people who need it weekly, especially our soldiers," Tegar exclaimed. The soldiers guarding the door paled, realizing that they were both taking the medicines weekly.
"Get me a sample of the medicine. I may be able to make it or come up with a safe replacement," Sam said while wondering how many people have already died from not being able to continue to take it for any reason.
" Zenna takes them to the goa'uld to see if it is this Egeria as well as getting the sample th need," Dollan told the woman while indicating for Tegar to stay.
Alex and Sam followed Zenna from the office as the two soldiers, who still looked shocked, joined them at Tegar's gesture; from the building, they walked in the opposite direction from the Stargate, and for nearly thirty minutes, they walked Sam occasionally asking questions.
Alex was looking around the city; he noticed that the people were dressed in clothes similar to what the people from the late twenties or early thirties wore, while their vehicles appeared to be early nineteenth-century.
They finally reached a building that looked to be some sort of factory; beyond the factory, a little more than a mile away, they could see the remains of a pyramid.
Zenna led them to the factory; once inside, they found that most of the ground floor was taken up by large tanks filled with churning water.
"We keep the larva in these tanks until they are processed to make the tretonin," Zenna told them as they walked to the back of the building and to a single tank that held a goa'uld, which was larger than the ones they had seen in the tanks they passed.
Sam examined the tank while Alex just reached into the tank, grabbed the goa'uld, and took a scan of it; after a second, he withdrew his hand and nodded, "It's Egeria, but as Dollan said, she is dying. She has maybe a month left."
Sam nodded after finishing her inspection of the tank, "This thing is part of the problem; it does not supply the needed bioelectric current a symbiote needs away from their homeworld, nor is the fluid nutritious."
"It's just an aquatic lifeform; all it should need is a water source to survive," a new voice spoke up, turning they saw a man joining them, carrying a test tube half-filled with a bluish-purple liquid.
"This is a symbiote queen, she and her kind need an electric current as well as nutrient-rich water or a host that provides what she needs, and you're forcing her to birth larva at the levels I see have just hastened her death," Sam told the man then snatching the test tube from him then opening it and spilling a drop of the fluid on her palm.
The man looked offended at being spoken to, like he was about to say something to her, but was silenced by the male soldier putting a hand on his shoulder and shaking his head.
"This stuff is flawed. It is destroying the immune systems of whoever takes it; I'll need to take this to my lab to figure out if it can be reversed," Sam said as she examined the scan in her mind.
Alex reached to the sides of the tank and removed tubes and other attached things then lifted it from the pedestal, "We also need to take her to be healed and hope these people haven't driven her insane by experimenting on her."
The scientist had to be restrained by both of the soldiers while Zenna was explaining what they had been told in Dollan's office as Alex and Sam started to leave, "Give us a week to study this stuff so we can either find a replacement or remove the flaws in it." Sam said as they walked away with Zenna rushing to follow them.
When they reached the Stargate, Sam dialed the address for the planet they used as a base. She then turned to Zenna we'll contact your people soon," she said, then followed Alex through the wormhole.
Zenna, shocked at their actions, turned away from the Stargate when it shut down and returned to the council building and the office Dollan and Tegar were in, still talking over what they had learned.
"They took the queen and a sample of tretonin and will contact us in a week to let us know if they can correct the medicine as well as heal the queen," she told them as she sat.
Dollan nodded while Tegar frowned, "And if they refuse to give us the medicine?"
Zenna shrugged, "What does it matter? We've not been able to force the queen to produce any new larvae in weeks. Once we use up all of the current larvae we have, we will lose the medicine and then die like the prisoners we used to test the tretonin on when we stopped testing."
Dollan nodded again, " All we can do is hope they return with the medicine fixed or an easier way to make it ourselves."
Alex and Sam came out of the Stargate to find a group of Asgard and Nox examining Athena; in the week since meeting with the Nox, they have spent some time learning if their ships could be sentient as well as if they should allow it as well.
Lya came from the group, her ever-present Mona Lisa smile turned to a curious frown as she lay eyes on the tank, "You've taken a queen? Will this not enrage the goa'uld?"
Alex shook his head, "Egeria," he told her hefting the tank gently.
"Take her to medical I'll get the scientist working on this," Sam held up the tretonin sample; she took Lya's elbow and guided her to the group to have them help study the medicine. While they walked, she explained what she knew about Egeria.
Alex watched them go with a smile; he was about to open the door to the house when Kira and Karen came flying in. A small squirrel-like creature was on Karen's head.
"Daddy, lookit, I found this cute little guy being chased by a big mean cat," Laren chirped happily, reaching up and pulling the creature from her hair, which it didn't seem to want to let go of.
"I see are you going to give it a home in the trees around here? I think it will like it," he asked while looking at the thing.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go find it a nice home," Karen said, then took off to the trees.
"That's the fourth one she rescued. If we don't slow her down, we'll have a small colony of them in the forest soon," Kira called out as she turned to follow Karen.
Alex shook his head with a smile and noticed Sam was watching them with a smile of her own, she then went back to describing the sample she wanted to test and improve for the people of Pangar.
When he opened the door to the house, he found Ash and Misty waiting for him, "Sir, we have a small problem, " Ash said as he stepped into the house.
"Oh, what's up?" he asked, motioning them to follow him as they spoke.
"You bought too many animals, right now our stocks are fine food-wise as well as materials but the parent animals are reproducing faster than they can be processed, while I can and have halted their reproducing now the remaining animals will fill the stores and we will still have dozens of cattle and swine and hundreds of chickens unprocessed, I don't know what to do with them," Ash told him as they moved through the workshop.
"Okay, here's what we will do," Alex said after a few seconds, "we'll sell them to the people of Earth in a day or so during our meeting, they could use the added bloodline if they do not want them we will build a ranch on the planet we are using as a base."
"We can do that. Each new calf or piglet is different enough genetically that there is no need to worry about inbreeding as long as someone rotates the bulls, but someone will need to grow the food for them," Ash told him while wondering how the animals would affect the world.
"I'm pregnant," Misty announced as they entered medical, causing the two males to stop walking, while Alex was happy that his little maid would be a mother soon, Ash was locked up, his brain repeating the word pregnant
"That's wonderful; I want you scanned by medical after you get this statue moving," Alex pointed to Ash after he put the tank Egeria was in on one of the beds and programmed it to scan and heal her.
Misty blushed but smiled and then stepped to Ash's side, where she hugged him, slowly his arms wrapped around her, a smile growing on his lips, "We're going to have a baby."
"We're going to have a baby," Misty repeated, then squeaked when Ash lifted her up and twirled around a few times before setting her down then promptly fainting.
Laughing, Alex bent over, picked Ash up, and laid him on one of the beds while Misty popped herself to his side, "He should be fine; I'm going to take it that this will be your first."
Misty nodded, "Yes, while the companies don't stop us from having elflings the elders do keep us from it until after we are in our forties to slow down our population growth."
"Well, here you don't have to worry about that just be careful, while I won't tell you two not to have more children we do not want to have too little work for you all plus we will need to find them mates when it is time," Alex told her as the bed scanned both elves.
"We can not have children until our current child is mature; that will be in just over five years," Misty told him while Ash started to come around; the first thing he did was look at Misty with a grin.
"Alright well we can set up some playdates with the company elves for them to find their mates or a home to bind to when they are ready unless we expand the house before then they can stay and help around here if you want them to," Alex offered as the bed holding the tank began its work to heal Egeria.
"We do have a door to the company planets for elves in our home, it is similar to your door to the house but it only opens to the world currently housing the elves until it is time to move before reality enters its final rebirth stages," Misty told him while Ash was touching her belly.
"Okay, that works for me, but don't forget to tell Sam and the others; I can almost guarantee that little one will be spoiled rotten, you know," Alex added, then read over the scans of the two and smiled.
Misty smiled and lay her hand over Ash's, "I'm just glad our kind aren't like those from the Harry Potter world; if we were, I would have had to wait for you to say we could have children."
"Well, you can have them as you like; we will figure out something as we go; if I have to, I'll buy enough upgrades to keep you as busy as you like," Alex said, then turned the screen so Misty could read it.
"We have the time to figure it out," she answered as she read over the scan and nodded.
"Do you have family you want to tell?" Alex asked while moving to the bed with the tank and noting that with the help of the device Egeria's natural healing began helping now that she was in an environment that allowed her some sorely needed rest.
The two elves nodded, "We do have family, we can tell," Misty said while Ash kept nodding, showing his brain hadn't fully woken up yet.
"Alright, you two can go visit and relax a bit. We can live without you for a while."
"We can go tonight after I've finished dinner," Misty replied then poked Ash in the side to get his attention, "He can have the farm safe for a time without him."
"Alright, well, I know nothing about how you guys' health works, but this thing says you two are healthy, and the embryo is just a few days old. Make sure you have an elf healer look at you if you have one," Alex told them.
Misty nodded as she popped off of the bed taking Ash with her, "I will," she said before popping away with Ash.
"Now to you," Alex said to the Tok'ra queen, "Well first I need to find you a host, which for me won't be a problem but I'll give you a few days to heal up," he then reached into the tank again this time he channeled a brief healing puls into her and watched as the magic sank into her to speed up her healing.
H smiled as she seemed to grow energetic as the puls passed through her; her eyes gave a white flash, showing her to be feeling better.
After that, he left the house, looking around. He found Sam still talking to the scientists who were going over their scans of the tretonin.
Xander came to join him with his daughter in his arms, "We need to get Jess a babysitter," he said as he gently bounced the infant in his arms as she slept.
"Yeah, I was thinking about that; gather the captains; I'll spring for a pair of servants to look after the houses and or kids while you guys are out causing hell on the goa'uld ranks."
"Yeah, that's going to be fun, do you think we can do all that much to them?"
"With your ships, you guys staying here on the Milky Way galaxy could easily take them out it will just take time but that is not why I hired you all, I want you all to be a distraction mainly so the people of this reality can take over, if we do it we will leave a large vacuum of power when we move on," Alex told him while gently stroking the sleeping child's cheek.
"So we aren't here to help you take over the galaxy?"
"No, Sam and I plan on making this reality a home; unlike company people, we aren't locked into a reality; I can go just about anywhere I want while you guys get contracts to go from reality to reality every ten years," Alex explained.
Xander thought that over for a few minutes while Cordy joined them to take baby Jess to feed and change as she started to wake fussily.
"So, what else are we doing?"
"Well, we leave for Earth in a little over an hour, "Alex said while using his omnitool to send a message to the captains to gather at the Stargate.
"So meet up with the captains then go do that thing about babysitters and whatnot then?" Xander asked after reading the message.
"Yep," Alex replied then went off to talk to Sam as Xander went after Cordy.
When Alex joined the group, Sam was with, he listened to her talk, "... so basically the Paneran people were using symbiotic larva to create this medicine which will in time make them like the jaffa and need a larva to live unless we can either synthesize this safely or create something to fix what they've done to themselves."
The Asgard and Nox of the group looked shocked while the Vulcans looked intrigued, "They have enough to hold them over for about six months to a year," Alex said as he stepped to Sm's side.
Sam nodded while wrapping her arm around his waist, "We can provide enough samples for your teams to study. I would like to work on this myself, but we are going to be busy; you all could use what you learn for your people as well once they figure it out."
"We got an hour before we have to leave for Earth to meet with the SGC, so you can talk to them a bit more, I'm just here to let you know I'm taking the captains to the market for som home staff, especially Xander and Cordy," Alex told her while giving her a quick hug.
"Alright, where is the munchkin?"
"Out trying to save small animals from predators, Kira is trying to keep her out of trouble, she'll probably fill the forest with them in no time, we'll have to set up something to keep the more violent ones away," Alex said with a grin, "I'll need to get her that pony soon it may distract her for a while."
"Yeah, just make sure we have a place to keep it," Sam told him while looking around; she spotted Karen flying through the forest now and then. She would stop to put a small animal in one of the trees.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about a place to get one, but it will take hopping to a world I don't know much about; if I remember right some of the creatures from that reality could be helpful somewhere," he said while trying to remember what he could about living robots.
"We can look into it after visiting Clark and the others," Sam told him before letting her arm drop from his waist when she saw the captains walking their way, "Go ahead and take them to do whatever you are going to so we can head to Earth."
"Be back soon; with only three choice options, it shouldn't take all that long."
When all ten captains joined them, Alex kissed Sam's temple and then turned to the group, "Alright, guys, we need to go to the market."
He then led them to and through his house and to the ring leading to the market; as they walked, he explained his plan to get them servants to take care of the house and future children.
"Your options are, humans cyborgs, or house elves, and no Hermione the house elves aren't like the ones from your home, they bind to the house, not the people, and they don't act like Dobby and Winky, while they do like working they won't punish themselves, I find it best to just think of them as house elf shaped butler and maid," he told Hermione before she could protest when he saw her getting ready to say something then pointed to Ash and Misty as they were returning to the main part of the house proper.
"Go to the tavern we met in, I need to go to the bank to transfer the funds to your accounts to purchase the servants and their living quarters, go for a mated pair if you guys don't go for the cyborg option," Alex said as he stepped into the ring leading to his vault where he went around setting up auctions, for the bloodlines he dropped the Kryptonian and Marvel Asgard three of each, then looked over the control panel where he transferred the funds.
He then switched to the auction section to search it to give the others time to decide which servant type they wanted, "Let's see here we don't need anything right now but there are some things I can keep an eye on,"
He found several interesting pieces of tech and nanite upgrades for their suits but they wouldn't be needed right now, he also found an upgrade for the farm but again it wasn't needed, the choices were too many to look over in a short time plus Sam would get angry if he bought something without discussing it with her.
After wish listing several items, he left the vault to meet the group and then led them back to his house, "Go get your people set up in your homes, then head to your ships, we'll head to Earth."
Alex then flew to a clearing to create his own copy of the NX Zero One ship with all the tech he put into the ones he made for the others; the only difference he added was to allow the ship to be crewed by a small group rather than a full crew.
Sam soon joined him, with Kira and Karen, following soon after, "Why build one for us? Don't we have the Javalin in the spaceport?"
"I plan on giving the javaline to the SGC. If they have their act together, they are going to need it, plus it may slow them down in exploring the gate network to give our people time to get settled in," Alex said before leading them into the ship through a cargo loading elevator he had lowered using his omnitool.
While they walked through the cargo bay and then engineering, he let Sam explore the area just to get her scientist on, "We'll take this ship there then take the javelin out and take that down to the place they want to meet with us, they can keep it when we are done."
"How are we going to explain the captains?"
Alex shrugged, "Called in reinforcements after seeing the way the goa'uld have taken over the majority of the galaxy. Didn't we already agree on that excuse?"
"Yeah, we can go with that, and well, we may have had quite a few things happen in the last few weeks."
Alex nodded then lifted the bracer near his face after opening the vocal communications, "All captains and crew, please prepare to lift off and set course to Earth, set condiments for the dark side of the moon."
After receiving acknowledgments from the captains, the four took up positions on the bridge; Sam took up the navigation console near the viewscreen, Kira took tactical behind Alex, who took the command chair, and Karen took the science station, although it was locked out.
Alex looked over his chair and then smiled as he used the controls to open a channel to all of the other ships when he got the indication that all of the others picked up the hail.
"Alright, everyone, get ready to launch. Be aware that there is a station in high orbit; it will be where we will dock when the ships are in this system; for now, just ignore it and set course for Earth." He told the others while motioning for Sam to take the ship up.
The ship gave a few rumbling groans as the engines and other systems came online, after a few minutes the ship lifted off of the ground and then angled to exit the planet when they reached orbit Sam set the ship to fly near the watchtower, monitoring the other ships from a small viewscreen he smiled as the ten ships took up position around the station as well.
'You have a watchtower?' Xander asked over the still-open channel.
"Yeah, I thought it would be the perfect orbital station for those who are staying here in the Milky Way, those going to Pegasus will have the city-ship Atlantis to dock with," Alex answered with a smile, "We may move the stargate up here for security but for now it's for us and our allies to use well most of them I doubt the Nox will spend much time up here."
'If some of us are going to Pegasus why are we all going to Earth?' Hermione asked.
"Eventually the humans of Earth will find the address for Atlantis, I want them to have your images on record so when they do get there they will recognize you and understand that while you captains hold that rank for our purposes your ranking will be at the level of their admirals and that the title of captain just applies when you are on the ships," Alex explained, " Are we ready?"
Sam nodded, "We are, course set and exit vectors are sent so we don't all come out of hyperspace on top of each other," she answered as he received confirmation from the other ships.
"Alright, everyone, let's head out," he ordered, then watched as each ship entered a hyperspace window, then the ship he and his group were on flew into a window of its own.
"Okay, this is a short trip, once we get into lunar orbit Captains and commanders will transport with us to a small ship which we will pilot to Earth, while on the way we will drop transporter relay satellites off so that the ships will stay hidden by the moon," Alex told the others as they flew through the corridor.
'If they use the Stargate network, why are we hiding the ships?'
"The Stargate is being used by the U.S Airforce and is a top-secret program very few civilian people are aware of the program, We will be meeting their flag team SG1 who answer to General George Hammond and President Joseph Hayes and a few other military people, we will not be sharing tech beyond the small ship which we are just using to get to Earth and deploy the satellites."
'Why give them the ship?'
"It's not something they can replicate easily, but it will give them something to study and possibly slow their trips through the Stargate for a while. Other than the hyperspace engines, the ship is just about a decade above what they have already, so meh."
'Any chances they will try and capture any of us?'
"No, I spoke with the General not long after our first meeting where someone tried to shoot me, everyone related to them died within a day of our first attempt to talk with the president."
'Did you have anything to do with that?' Hermione asked.
"No, we just left the planet, I found out a day or so later, then we hired you guys, I spoke with the general who told me they died of heart attacks or just dropped dead, which should make things easier considering they were possibly part of a group that would have been stealing tech from ally worlds," Alex said shaking his head.
'So if we aren't going to be giving them tech, why are we all going to this meeting?'
"Two reasons, like I said earlier, one is so they know your faces and a show of power as well, but they will understand the power play, and hopefully, they won't be much trouble."
"Exiting hyperspace in three..two.. one.." Sam announced seconds before the corridor opened to spit the ships into normal space; on the view screen, the lunar landscape could be seen even from the dark side the grey-white surface reflected briefly the flashes from the other ships reentering normal space.
Alex stood from his seat and looked over the view, his eyes showing the wonder he felt at seeing the moon, a childhood dream of many Earth humans.
"Even though we have seen other worlds, this is one dream from my youth I can scratch off of my list," Alex said placing a hand on Sam's shoulder.
'Yeah, we should see about using some suits and taking a walk,' Xander said over the channel Alex forgot to close when he stood from his seat, many of the other captains agreeing with him.
'I wonder if the stones and dust could be used as magical ingredients,' Hermione said while sounding like she was thinking of going to the surface to gather samples to test.
"Later, we have to be going to Earth soon; I'll be getting our ride in a minute; all crews monitor your captains once we are planetside," Alex ordered as he opened the door to his house then stepped through and went through to the spaceport where the Javalin was waiting.
Walking up the loading ramp he went to the forward cabin to prep the ship for takeoff, focusing on the space doors and ordering them to open between his other ship and the moon, when the doors opened enough to let the ship through he piloted it out, as he did he opened a channel, "Sam tie our ships navigation to Xander's then you and the girls transport over."
'Alright, sending Kira over with Karen now,' Sam answered before a brief flash of light signaled the two transporting over, ' Ready for transport,' Sam said, then shut down the communication on her end, and then she too was transported over.
"Alright, captains and commanders your turn, we will head out once you all are on board, all crews ensure the ships stay unobservable from Earth, if any ship belonging to the goa'uld enter the system call your captains using the transport relays," Alex ordered as the captains began tge transfer starting with Xander Cordy and Jess.
Once all were transported Alex set course for Earth, before the ship took off for Earth it shot a small relay satellite off to orbit the moon to ensure signals to and from the ships would reach them, when the Javalin was halfway between Earth another satellite was launched, just before the JJvalin entered the atmosphere a third was launched this one wavered then faded from all forms of observance.
As they hit the outer layers of the atmosphere Sam opened a channel using the frequency Carter used to contact the SGC, 'General Hammond speaking,' came the answer.
"General, it's us. We are in orbit. We need to know where to land our transport ship," Sam answered the general.
'We have a hanger open in Buckley. We also have cars waiting for you people to ride to our facility; please know we will confiscate any and all weapons," General Hammond warned.
"That's fine, General. None of us carry weapons, but know that, unlike last time when we were shot at, we will not allow it to happen a second time, and we will take the offender into our custody."
'I understand, this time we have vetted the people who will be picking you up; I am sending the cordanits for the hanger now,' suddenly alarms could be heard over the channel, ' I am sorry, I must go now. Something has come up.'
The channel cut off; Sam looked to Alex, who shrugged, "They work for an organization that makes enemies. Someone is possibly attacking them randomly, or one of their teams is coming back before schedule."
Sam nodded then closed the channel to not accidentally call the SGC, as the ship slowly cut through the atmosphere to cut down on the plasma ball small enough to appear to be a small meteorite.
"Uh, boss man, somethings wrong," Xander called out to get everyone's attention.
Alex and Sam turned to find Xander and Cordelia fading in and out while Jess did not fade in and out, Hermione reached to take the baby, "Keep her safe," Cordy said before she faded completely at the same time as Xander.
