Prologue

The prior had been chanting, for nigh on 12 hours. The robes kept him warm, and he longed to return home, to be amongst his people. But the gods called him to duty, and he would ensure that these unbelievers would either convert, or be put to the sword. Evil could not be allowed to exist, no matter where they resided. Origin would be spread out into the universe, for all to accept. Or they would die.
The gate activated, distracting him. He put his book back into the deep recesses of his robes, and waited patiently. As the event horizon formed, and then stabilised, he began to smile. Widely.
A lone figure walked through the gate. A small figure, from a species that many respected but also greatly feared, as they were incredibly powerful. The only species who could pose real problems for their invasion of this galaxy. As the figure walked through, the gate shut down. The prior did not move, as the figure walked towards him. He looked down as the alien being came closer.
“I am Thor, supreme commander of the Asgard fleet. We received your request for a diplomatic negotiation with regards to the Milky Way Galaxy. The Asgard high council has agreed to discuss with you with regards to these matters. Do you represent the Ori in this case?”
The prior smiled. Their offer was genuine, and they would follow through. “Yes, I represent the Ori. They have commanded me to meet with your High Council. The offer that we make will be of mutual benefit.” He looked down at the alien. How unclean he was.
“That remains to be seen. Understand we are only agreeing to meet and discuss this issue because of your request for diplomacy. We will meet and talk. But understand this, any attempt to subvert, attack or cause damage of any kind to any Asgard, will result in immediate action against you, followed by a declaration of war against the Ori. Do you understand?” Thor looked up at the Prior. The Asgard were on very dangerous ground. But they had no choice.
“I understand. I will not attack, or cause any harm, to any Asgard, in any way. Please lead the way. The Ori are with me always.” He moved towards the gate.
“We will not be travelling by gate.” Thor looked at the Prior. “I am sure that you can understand that security is also an issue.”
The prior stopped smiling. Thor couldn’t see him of course, but he put on a false smile, and then turned around. “As you wish, Supreme Commander Thor. Where will we be going?”
“If you will follow me.” Thor turned and walked in the opposite direction, into a grove of very tall trees. The prior was slow to move, but made his way in the direction that Thor was travelling. He was having a very hard time trying to read the mind of the Asgard commander.
As they walked along for a minute, they came to a clearing. It was obvious that the Asgard had been busy setting up equipment. It would appear that he was to talk to them, although he was hoping for a direct face to face conversation. The Ori did have work to do. He stepped onto a pedestal, and left his staff to stand on the ground beside him. His view changed, and he could see a great chamber, and many beams of light. This was the chamber of the High council of the Asgard.
The council members beamed in. All eyes were on the prior. The leader of the council spoke. “Prior of the Ori, whom you represent. The Asgard received your call for a diplomatic case.”
The prior was just getting started.
“Noble leaders of the Asgard, I come to you with an offer, directly from the Gods. They have been kind enough to allow me to represent them here, in this case. I am sure that you can see we wish no harm to the Asgard?”
“That remains to be seen. Thus far, you have been courteous, and respected our methods. Please, continue.”
“The Ori want nothing more than to claim our territories, and to deal with the problems that the humans pose. As they are all members of our own race, we have a right to deal with them as we see fit. Our offer is simple. Do not interfere. Stay out of the Milky Way galaxy. Do not aid, militarily or economically, the humans in the Milky Way galaxy. Especially the humans on Earth.” The prior could hear small gasps amongst the high council. It was working.
“Many years ago, the Asgard negotiated the protected planets treaty with the Goa’uld. I assume that you wish to negotiate something similar? There are many planets that are under our protection. A list of these worlds, though few they number, will be given to you.”
“The Ori do not wish to negotiate anything. We lay claim to all the human populated worlds in the Milky Way Galaxy.”
“That to us is unacceptable. There are many humans who do not wish to accept Origin. From what we have seen, for those humans who do not accept Origin, the only end that they have is death. We will not risk their lives, or their futures. They have the right to find their own path in this universe. A path that we encourage them to find. We provide assistance, when it is prudent to do so. But we do not interfere.”
“You have already interfered by pretending to be gods. The Ori are true gods. By pretending to be something that you clearly are not, you have denied the humans on your protected worlds the opportunity to find true enlightenment through the Ori, and that is unforgivable.”
“We will not abandon the planets that we have under our protection. As I have said, they are few in number, and earth is amongst them. Should you attempt to forcibly gain control over such planets, our reaction will be swift, and deadly.”
The prior was still smiling. He was definitely making an impression. “In order to show that we are serious, the Ori are willing to provide the Asgard with a gift, to show you that our intentions are honourable. They have given me a small sample of DNA, which will provide you with the missing link and cure you of your cloning disorder.” He reached into the recesses of his sleeve, and retrieved a very small vial. “This contains the aforementioned sample, which I will give to Supreme Commander Thor. Once you have analysed it, and tested it, I am sure that you will contact me again soon. Until then, I await patiently.” He looked around, and smiled, before stepping down, and turning round to see Supreme Commander Thor nearby.
Thor moved forward. “I am to retrieve the sample, and I will ensure that it is thoroughly tested. We will meet here again, as we have done, when the time is right.” The Prior handed over the vial with the material in question.
Thor took the vial, and briefly looked at it. This is far too easy, thought Thor. Moments later, he was beamed away. More than likely to one of the warships circling the planet. The Asgard did not take too many risks. Especially not with something that could stop the extinction of their civilisation.
The prior was alone, once more, and he began walking back towards the gate. He looked around, and looked at the mountains. Such a peaceful place, he thought out loud. It reminded him of the mountains near his village, in the Ori galaxy. And how life was so much better there, than it was here.
The voice within his head spoke. Damaris, return to us.
He moved a little quicker, with urgency. As he approached the gate, his staff lit up, and the symbols on the gate flashed brightly for a few moments, before the wormhole formed, and the gate became active. Damaris walked through, to the other side, and the gate shut down.

THE BEGINNING


Four months later


Back at the SGC, General Landry was in a bind. They had received a communiqué from Thor, who was on his way to the SGC. General Jack O’Neill had been notified, and the Odyssey beamed him directly into the office with General Landry.
“Hello Jack. You took your time.” Landry moved to close the door.
“Nice to see you too Hank. Still stuck with the paperwork?” Jack was dressed in casual clothing, for once. It appeared he was off duty.
“You’ve been appraised about the communiqué from Thor I take it?”
“Yeah. I have a gut feeling that we won’t like this very much at all. Thor doesn’t really send messages. He normally just turns up.”
There was a knock at the door. It was Chief Master Sergeant Walther Harriman. “Sir, we just received a message from Thor.”
There was a bright light, and an Asgard appeared in the middle of Jack and Hank.
Jack and Hank looked at Walther.
“Never mind Sir.” Harriman walked away, closing the door.
“Hey, Thor, buddy. How ya been?” Jack was very happy to see Thor.
“It has been quite some time, O’Neill. My apologies for not keeping in regular contact, but there have been many issues that the Asgard have been attempting to resolve. Greetings General Landry.”
“We got your message Thor. It sounded very urgent.” General Landry spoke up.
“Some months ago, a prior of the Ori contacted the Asgard, requesting a meeting with the Asgard high council. Naturally, we were very cautious.”
Jack and Hank were both shocked. They looked at each other, before looking back at Thor. Nothing was said between them.
“The Prior told us that the Ori were laying claim to all the human populated worlds in the Milky Way Galaxy. They even offered the Asgard a gift to show that they were not hostile towards us. This is a bad omen.”
The office was quiet. Jack looked back at Hank again, before speaking.
“Thor, what’s wrong buddy? Come on, talk to me.”
“I am afraid, O’Neill, that I may not be able to visit Earth again in the future. The Asgard High Council spoke to this prior. What he offered was something very specific to us and to us only.”
“What did he offer Thor?” Jack was concerned. Greatly.
Thor remained silent for a moment, before saying anything. He turned towards Jack. “The Ori do not wish us to interfere with their crusade. The gift they have offered is great, indeed. They provided me with a sample of DNA, which he claimed would resolve the cloning problem that the Asgard have. This is not good.”
Jack froze. A cure for the Asgard cloning issue? This was not good at all.
Landry was looking back at Jack, and then his hand went to the coffee mug. He took a deep drink, before placing the cup back on the table.
“Of course, you have tested the sample, and made sure it works?”
“The sample that was provided was tested in every way that the Asgard know of. A live test was also performed. The sample works perfectly. However, upon further testing, which I have undertaken without the knowledge of the council, it appears that the sample does not behave as DNA should. I believe that this could be a precursor to the Ori launching an attack on the Asgard. At the genetic level and in an area that would hurt us greatly.”
Jack got up. This was bad. He wanted to eat something, but changed his mind. “Thor, buddy. I’m guessing the Asgard High Council is going to go with this? Does this mean that we can’t be friends anymore?”
Thor walked around the office. It was obvious that he did not know what to do. “The High Council is leaning towards this agreement with the Ori. Our civilisation is on the verge of extinction. Our race, close to falling in the darkness. We are becoming desperate. The sample definitely does possess the missing link that we are looking for, though we are unable to determine the link exactly. Nor if it can actually be produced in large quantities, for the many Asgard in our galaxy. I am of the opinion that a backup plan should be prepared, should this not go well. I am afraid the Asgard would, once again, need your help O’Neill.” Thor looked up at Jack.

[satnamboll28]

and another part!

[satnamboll28]

Jack was in another world. This could mean that the Asgard could no longer help, with anything. He needed to talk to Carter. She might have some ideas. “Let me go speak to Carter. I tell you what, come with me. It’d be nice for her to see you again.” He walked over to the door, and held it open. Thor walked through. Jack looked back at Landry.
“I think the president should know. It might also be a good idea to start increasing the number of troops that we can field. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” He turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Landry was left alone. He was chewing thoughtfully. His hand moved to the phone on his desk. He picked up the receiver. “I need to talk to the President. Priority one.”

Carter was in her lab, doing something. What, exactly, was anybody’s guess. All personnel on the base knew to stay away from the lab. There was always some odd noise emanating from that room. Followed by cries of joy, or by cries of “Oh man!” There were rumours, but that was it. Rumours.

Jack was walking down the corridors of the facility, with Thor walking by his side. Jack was walking slowly, so as not to walk too fast. The other SGC personnel said hello, and also greeted Thor. There was a time, when such a sight would have people in the SGC looking and staring at them. But that was a long time ago. They had come so far since then. He was making conversation with Thor, asking about any new ships that would be named after him. Thor replied that the original O’Neill had served its purpose, but as it was the template for a new class of vessel, they had instead decided to name the warship class after him. Jack stopped and thought about that. He smiled. An entire ship class named after him? Cool. He smiled, as he walked onwards. He stopped just outside Carters laboratory, and knocked on the door, just as Thor walked up.
The door swung inwards, as Carter opened the door. She looked quite tired, eyes dishevelled, slightly red. She looked quite rough.
“General. Thor. Hey, come on in.” She motioned for both of them to come in. Thor walked in first, motioned to do so by Jack, Jack closed the door afterwards, and the three of them moved towards the middle of the room.
“Hello Samantha Carter. I would say that you appear fine, but from your appearance, it would appear that you are unwell. Perhaps you have a cold of some kind?” Thor was polite, but he also had a wry sense of humour.
Jack smiled, and laughed inside. Carter was looking a little rough. Slightly more than usual. “So Carter, what did you do this time? Anything interesting?”
Carter pursed her lips. NICE. She had been working through the night, on some weapons research. The SGC needed energy weapons, as rail guns just didn’t cut it against shielded craft. They needed something bigger. The EMAC (Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon) was currently undergoing testing at a number of off world facilities. The results were promising, but production would not be underway for a few weeks. In the meantime, they still needed energy weapons. “Actually, I’ve been working on projects, which really need to be completed. I’m working on the Felger plasma prototypes.”
“I thought they didn’t work and the project was put on hold? Jack was curious. Why not just use the staff weapons that they had accumulated?
Thor was also curious. He moved towards the testing plate on the far wall. “I assume you are testing a prototype plasma weapon, based off of Goa’uld technology?”
“Dr Felger was working on a prototype, but the project was put on hold after he blew the circuit breakers around the base. I’m trying to see if the problem can be resolved. We need energy weapons, as our rail guns just don’t cut it against shielded craft, or against the Wraith Hive ships. I’m close, but I’ve been working all night.” Sam put her head in her hands. She was very tired.

“Samantha Carter, what is the problem? Perhaps I can be of assistance?”
That made Sam look up. She smiled. “Thanks Thor. I just need a hint. We’ve managed to reverse engineer the staff weapons, but we’ve been unable to produce our own versions, because of the lack of scientific knowledge of certain areas of physics. Dr Felger was close. His versions, during tests, consumed far less power, and were actually more powerful that the Ha'tak class weaponry. The only problem, however, was the power surge. No matter what Dr Felger tried, the weapon drew too much power, and tripped the circuit breakers. I’ve managed to decrease the weapons power requirements by thirty percent above normal, as well as streamline the plasma discharge, allowing us to fire multiple level energy bursts at will, with no penalties in energy consumption. But the weapon still has the surge, and I’m just not sure why.”
Jack was frowning. He put his hands to his head. He hated it when Sam became incoherent. He always got a headache that lasted for hours.
Thor moved forwards, and looked at the design schematic on the screen. “Goa’uld weaponry was always intended to instil fear into others and to enable them to be subjugated. The initial designs have never really changed. From the work that I have seen thus far, Dr Felger appears to have radically changed not only the design, but also the capabilities of the weapon. This is a revolution in plasma weapons design. I believe the prefire chambers are the cause of the problem. Goa'uld weaponry requires buffering, before firing. This design does not have that problem. Energy can be channelled directly into the weapon. This also causes a problem with feedback.” Thor looked back towards Sam, and she looked bewildered.
And then an idea popped into her head. “Hang on a second.” She went to another terminal, and began tapping the keys. A small video screen popped up, which grabbed the attention of both Jack and Thor.
“This is Samantha Carter at the SGC. Can we load a prototype onto the rack please, with the pre fire chambers bypassed?”
Another person became visible, who spoke. “No problem. Give us five.” The other person appeared to be looking over the shoulder of Sam, who looked behind her. Jack was looking over her shoulder, and Thor was attempting to look at the screen. “These are General O’Neill and Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet behind me. Any questions?”
“No Sir!” replied the on screen attendant, who appeared to run off the screen. His voice could be heard, barking orders at others who were not visible.
Sam turned around to Thor and Jack. “Rather than have a weapons testing facility nearby me, I figured it would actually be better if it was at Area fifty one, where they could load prototypes, configured to my requirements, and then they could be tested. It would be much better than having explosions going off in the SGC.”
“A very wise precaution, Samantha Carter.” Thor looked up at Sam.
“Yeah, Carter. Good idea. This will fix the problem right?” he motioned with his hands. One of which went to his stomach. He was hungry. A voice on the screen diverted their attention.
“Sir! The prototype is ready. Control has been switched over to your station.” The person on the screen had popped back, and was furiously hitting the keys on the machine.
“Excellent. I can confirm that control has been switched. Switching cameras now.” The view on the screen changed to show some kind of weapon. Well, it looked like a weapon.
“All diagnostics show that the weapon is ready for firing. Commencing fire test in ten seconds.” Carter hit a key, and a counter showed up, next to the video feed on the screen.
“Fingers crossed.” Jack had both hands in the air, with crossed fingers.
Thor looked up at him. “O’Neill, why do you do that? Is there some kind of significance to that?”
“The weapon will fire in five, four, three, two, one.” Both Jack and Thor turned to look at the screen.

The prototype weapon, at Area fifty one, began firing. Blasts of energy came out, at high speed. Some hit the target, some went right through. But the weapon kept on firing. Soon, the rate of fire slowed down, before stopping completely.

I read this story's first section a while ago. Liked it. I thought you did the drama well to have Thor threaten the Prior. Liked the scenes of them interacting. I also had these highly advanced corporeal beings interact in my story Tauri-Furling First Contact and Alliance. The Asgard at first pretend they don't know who the Ori are (or at least purposely don';t reveal that they do) to the Prior. When the Prior acts out b/c Freyr falls asleep listening to the Prior preach, he acts out and attacks the Asgard High Councill. Odin is the only one who managed to stay awake and he starts to fend off the Prior successfully before the rest wake up.

Hello!
Thanks stargate watcher. There is so much to get done, it's taking it's time, but slowly getting there.
Meanwhile, I should be posting the next section later this week.
Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome, Satnam. Sounds really aweswome; no worries bout putting out the new chapter later than you'd like to ideally; living real-life does take plenty of time. :-)

Thanks stargate watcher..with r/l always seem to remember towards to the end of the night that I had to do something important..then i remember the next day, and forget, and the cycle runs again..
btw, can you check out my ship posts on original starship design thread? ive got some ships there that go with my stories, and they are very different..please check it out and tell me what you think

[satnamboll28]

Carter smiled. “Wow! It worked! It worked. Nice.” She turned to look at Jack and Thor, who in turn looked at each other.
“Sweet! Nice work Carter. When can we have them on our ships? How fast can they be made? Is there aim any better than the weapons on the Death Gliders?”
“The weapon appears to be very powerful. I would not be surprised if it was far more powerful and more capable than current Goa’uld weaponry. Mounting them on your ships, however, will prove difficult. Such weapons draw large amounts of power. I suspect that the initial design drew more power than was available, hence disrupting the electrical systems and tripping your surge protection mechanisms. A modified naquadah generator should perform more than satisfactorily.”
Carter was thinking. The weapon prototypes were made from off the shelf parts. Production would not be a problem. She figured a mixture of trinium and Carbon would be best. Security protocols would be necessary. The prototypes would also need to be tested. Hard. That wouldn’t be easy. They only had five, currently available. It would take two days to produce finalised production models. Add one week for production, and earth could have its energy weapons available far quicker than anticipated. The next step would be to shrink the weapon down for handheld usage. That would prove difficult. And then it clicked. The liquid naquadah bottles from the staff weapons would be enough. Cool. She was smiling considerably. Enough for Jack to stare. Thor was also looking.
“Are you well Samantha Carter? You appear to be smiling at the keyboard.”
She closed her eyes. Crap. “I just had an idea as to how we can shrink these weapons for handheld usage. It would at least give us an advantage in terms of not having to carry anymore ammunition.”
“Sweet. And, when can we have them to use? I might want to test them out as well, you know, for, uhh, testing purposes.” He put his hands in his pockets.
“Is there anything else that you would like to show me Samantha Carter?” Thor looked up at Sam. Sam pursed her lips. Thanks Thor she whispered in her mind.
“Actually, yes there is.” She moved back to her screen, and tapped the keys. “We’ve been designing new craft for use in space, and we have finally managed to successfully reverse engineer the engines on the death gliders, and have a partial understanding of the engines on the puddle jumpers.”
“What is a puddle jumper? I am unfamiliar with that type of craft.”
“It’s the ships the ancients used for transport over land, sea, air and space. And they also go through the gate. Beats walking all the time.” Jack was smiling. He answered that one.
“You mean the gate ships? We have also come across such craft. Although they were not in one piece. In our galaxy, we have found mainly the remains of such craft. By successfully reverse engineering them, we were able to incorporate the technology into our ships. They are capable of many things. However, the design is very simple, and yet undeniably efficient.”
“Cool. We’ve been incorporating what we know and have begun implementing them into our craft. The new improved 302’s will have that and more.”
“More? What more, exactly?” Jack was looking everywhere else, and his eyes caught something on the other side of the room.
“The Tok’ra have successfully reverse engineered the Kull warrior armour. We have reached an agreement whereby we supply them with the materials, and they produce them for us. With the new stuff coming online now, we should be able to retrofit all current 302 craft with the new armour. All new production craft will have the armour integrated into the design by default. Now that we have the energy weapons, we can outfit them onto our craft.”
“What is the time scale that you are currently looking at achieving this? The Kull warrior armour is difficult to integrate, but it can be achieved. The naquadria will also have to be stabilised. A number of Asgard scientists have successfully done so.” Thor looked towards jack, who was looking at something shiny.
“Can you help us in that respect Thor? We haven’t been having much luck.” Sam was looking at Thor.
“I can give you the assistance directly. If you will allow me access to your computer, I can give you the formula for a substance that will stabilise naquadria. I must warn you however, that it does take five days to stabilise. I will ensure that everything is written down, so that you may reference it all later.” He moved towards the machine that Sam pointed at, and began to slowly put it all together. The machine that Sam pointed out to was a hybrid terminal. It used Asgard and human technology. Thor was one of the people who had helped to design it.
Sam walked over to Jack, who seemed to be fiddling with the metallic coloured armour sample that she was working on.
“Sir, Thor is being uncharacteristically helpful. He’s basically giving us information without the high council being informed. Is something up?”
“Yep. The Ori apparently have a cure for the Asgard clone thing. The high council is leaning towards the treaty. And some other stuff.” He liked this material, whatever it was.
“You’re kidding? This isn’t good. Why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Sam had her hands on her hips. Something she never really did.
“Didn’t I mention it? Thor will fill you in. This stuff is cool, by the way. What is it?” he turned the sample over.
“It’s a sample of a new version of the armour that we are thinking of equipping all SGC personnel with for off world missions. It’s actually better than the version that Anubis used. Its lighter, dissipates more energy and it can be produced much quicker. We only have five prototypes. None of them have been tested against Ori weapons however. That’s the only test left. We’ve managed to test Wraith weaponry. We’ve been thinking about sending them over to Atlantis, while we sort things out here. We’ve got ships on the drawing board, and for some of them, we just don’t have the space to construct them.”

[satnamboll28]

Jack turned to face her. “Which ones specifically?”
“Well, the Sumeria and the Hephaestus. Without the Hephaestus, construction will take a long time. It’s been designed to build our ships quickly. With the creative and judicious testing of beaming technology, through experimentation, we’ve been able to ascertain that we can build a Daedalus class vessel in less than one hundred and twenty days. If we had the Hephaestus, that could shorten down to one Daedalus class ship being completed every sixty days, as it can build more than one at the same time. That doesn’t include the 302 craft.”
Jack was thinking very thoughtfully. He had an idea. “So, what you’re saying is that we need the He, whatever, first, as it would be more beneficial. Right?”
“Yep. Its versatility will outstrip any other building operation that we have at the moment or could even think of. Without it, we can’t really have our fleet as quickly as we’d like.”
“And right now, we really badly need ships. Let’s go and talk to Thor.” He put the armour sample down, and walked over to Thor. It appeared that he had finished, and was spending his time looking at the new concept craft for the earth fleet. He was very interested in some, and looked at a number of rough sketches.
“These are very interesting designs for future Earth vessels. Have they been constructed yet?”
“Ahh that would be a no. We just don’t have the space, not to mention the facilities to build it. Catch twenty two.”
Thor looked at carter. “I cannot see anything to catch, Samantha Carter. Could you be more specific?”
“I was speaking metaphorically Thor. We need space, and more materials to build the Hephaestus. It’s the one ship that we need to build just about every other ship that we need or are even thinking about. We basically modified the beaming technology to put everything together. From that point, we can begin building our carrier, which is a super capital class ship that we have on the drawing board. With normal construction methods, it would take twenty years to build it. However, if we used beaming technology, this would put it down to one, maybe two years.”
Thor looked at the screen. He was studying the designs very carefully. “May I take this with me for studying? The designs are very interesting. Most notably, the Seraphim. Who is responsible for designing that craft?”
“It’s actually a professor, believe it or not. He’s basically the lead scientist on organic technology that we have. Some of the stuff that he’s come up with is actually fantastic, taking into account that they are living creations.”
“I do not understand.” Thor looked back at Carter, after looking at the screen.
“Basically, the professor has been advocating a push at using organic technology, along similar lines to how the Wraith have an organic base in their technology. It would bypass our need for materials, as we could essentially grow our forces, ship wise that is. He isn’t advocating a complete changeover to organic technology, but a semi organic technology, combining the best of both worlds. His work is still in the design stages, though he says that he can do more. Most people think that he’s kind of crazy, and not with it.”
“You mean, he talks your language right?” O’Neill interjected. He was very smug about that remark.
Carter looked at him, surprised. “Yes sir, my language.”
Thor looked down towards the floor. “I am sure that Jack O’Neill has explained the situation that the Asgard are in to you Samantha Carter. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?”
Carter looked at Jack, before answering. “I’m afraid not Thor. We just don’t have the ships, weaponry, materials, anything, to really make much of a dent. If we did, we could probably interject, more forcefully. But none of our scientists have actually come up with anything remotely near the knowledge that you have. All the information that we have come across during our explorations, haven’t brought us anything new. Atlantis is also searching the database they have for an idea, or perhaps something else. Have you checked out the ancient gene machine that we discovered Anubis was using?”
“The machine is still being studied, very closely. It would appear that it takes some time to completely map Asgard genetic structures. We have attempted to speed this up by transferring the information that we already have. It continually points us to the damaged DNA structures that we already know about. Our attempts at experimentation have not been successful so far.”
Carter felt bad. Very bad. “I don’t know what else to say Thor. We have enough problems as it is, with the nation’s signatory to the gate treaty. In fact-.” She was cut off by Thor.
“I will need to address all the members signatory to the gate treaty. Immediately. O’Neill, can this be arranged?”
Jack was quite surprised. “I guess so, yeah. It might take some time.”
“I do not have much time. I will have everybody beamed to the ship. This is an emergency.” Suddenly, he disappeared, in a beam out. Carter turned to Jack, but he wasn’t there. Thor must have taken him as well.
She went back to her desk, looking at the screen. The system had been remotely downloaded. She traced the connection, and it came from orbit. From his ship. She wasn’t surprised. She wondered what he would make of the weapon designs, especially the missile cluster. It was an idea proposed by the professor, to counter the Wraith darts, allowing the Daedalus to make a full missile attack. With no darts, the hive ship would be vulnerable. The cluster packed one thousand miniature, two foot missiles, into a package that could fit inside the cargo bay of the Daedalus. It was scheduled for a test, but the Daedalus wasn’t yet ready to take the package. She decided to go and talk to Teal’c. He might have an idea.
