Disclaimer: Nothing here is mine except the words and the way they are put together into sentences, the new original characters and lastly part of the concept. If I did own this I wouldn't have posted it for free to allow you to read it without paying. I acknowledged the laws of physics, math and other sciences, but as they might not fit into the mechanics necessary to make this story I reserve the right to make change to them if I find it necessary.

This holds true for the entire story and so I'll only write this here.

A/N: So this is a story I've begun to write on simply to let of steam while writing Stargate: The Million Year War and bring out crazy ideas, so things might not add up, things may seem weird and I know all to well that the main character is way to overpowered, but that's the way it's going to be since this isn't a serious attempt at a story, but rather a fun thing that I believe some people here might like, if you don't, then read another story, it's as simple as that. Star Wars never existed in the Stargate universe as that could cause a me a few headaches.

Daniel might be a little out of character (read: Daniel is way out of character.), some times, but that's the way it is.


INTRO: A few seconds ago in a galaxy far, far away...

When beings of immense power get bored they each bring a galactic power to a galaxy, from any point in time and space, and let them fight to entertain them. There can be no interference from them until there is only one faction left.

This is the story of one of those battles, but as fate would have it the trickster of the beings wants in too and so he brings his own champion, unknown to the others.

This is the story of that champion and of all people he's the last person anyone would think of as a champion in a war.

This is the story of Dr. Daniel Jackson and how he came to be the victor.


Puddle Jumper. M9S-999. Pegasus.

Daniel was sitting inside the puddle jumper on M9S-999 right in front of the Stargate, sitting next to him in the pilots seat was his pilot, while Daniel had a rather strong version of the ATA-gene, which he got the last time he descended, he didn't like to pilot the jumpers or any other flying craft for that matter.

"Are we ready to return to Atlantis?" Daniel asked the pilot.

"Yes Doctor, in a minute." The pilot said as he begun to dial the gate.

"I'll make sure the nanites are contained." Daniel said as he walked into the back of the jumper to make sure the containers of the inactive nanites were secured.

"We are clear to go through the Stargate." The pilot said.

"The nanites are secured, you may proceed." Daniel said from the back.

Five seconds later the jumper went through the event horizon.


Control Room. Atlantis. New Lantea. Pegasus.

Woolsey was standing in the control room looking out over the gate; around him techs were moving about their business.

Then, as an incoming wormholes event horizon snapped into place, alarms went of inside the control room, on the gate Woolsey could see lightning arcs.

"What's happening?" Woolsey demanded.

"We have a build up of energy inside the wormhole." McKay answered from his place at a nearby console.

"From inside the wormhole?"

"Yes, similar to what happens if you create a wormhole through a solar flare or straight through a star."

"I thought that was impossible as the DHD stopped us from dialing if there's a star in the path of the wormhole?"

"Yes, this shouldn't be happening."

"Doctor, the sensors are picking up an anomaly along the path of the wormhole." The sensors officer said.

"That doesn't look like a solar flare. That's… that's a… that's a supernova." McKay said nervously.

"You're telling me that the wormhole went through a supernova, Doctor?"

"Yes and I have no way of knowing how this could happen or what will happen to whoever is inside that wormhole."

"So they could end up anywhere?"

"Or anytime. As I said I don't know what happens if you put this much energy inside a wormhole."

"What's happening Rodney?" Sheppard said as he came running inside the control room.

"A supernova interrupted the wormhole." McKay answered.

"Doctor, the computer can't make up its mind about the anomaly." The sensor officer reported.

"Looks like it's having a hard time deciding if it's a supernova or a hyperspace window." McKay said after having a look.

"Colonel go with Colonel Ellis to the supernova and see if you can get McKay some more data on this. Dr. Jackson is inside that wormhole and if we can't get him out of there, General O'Neill will not be pleased." Woolsey said to Sheppard.

"I'm on it." Sheppard said as he turned around and requested to be beamed up to Apollo, a few seconds later he vanished in a white light.

Sixty minutes later the Apollo reached the supernova.

"Atlantis, this is Apollo, is the wormhole still engaged?" Was heard inside the control room.

"Atlantis here. The wormhole is still engaged and judging from the massive amounts of power inside it could be open for day,s even if the energy stops increasing." McKay answered.

"You should see this, it's spectacular." Sheppard said.

"Give me some sensor data instead of talking." Rodney said impatiently.

"Sending now." Apollo's helmsman said.

"If I'm reading this right the supernova's energy is being sucked inside the wormhole through some kind of crack in the wormhole tunnel."

"That shouldn't be possible Rodney." Zelenka said as he came into the control room.

"I know what I'm seeing, look for your self if you don't believe me." McKay said and pointed towards the screen.

"He's right Colonel, with this amount of energy we could create a wormhole to Destiny several times over." Zelenka said after analyzing the data.

"I'm not a scientist, but shouldn't we have thought of that before as a way of reaching Destiny?" Sheppard asked.

"That wasn't a normal star, according to the database it was having a small amount of stable naquadria inside its core, but it was building up in small amounts every year, that's probably why it went supernova. And to answer your coming question we never thought of using a star because it wouldn't have enough energy left when we were done to survive, it would have gone supernova after only a few seconds, and we never thought naquadria could exist inside the core of a star long enough to build up to sufficient level." McKay said.

"So no dialing Destiny this way?"

"Not for the moment, I can look into it once we get Daniel out of there."

"Right, what can we do?"

"Nothing, either we try to force the wormhole to jump, but I think that's a bad idea since the energy is staying inside the wormhole, or we wait for it to absorb the rest of the supernova and then we'll have to wait and see."


Jumper. Wormhole. The Universe.

"What's happening pilot?" Daniel asked as he saw the view of the wormhole replaced by the jumper and the sight of hyperspace outside the front window.

"I'm sorry Doctor but I have not idea." The pilot said as he begun to run through the sensor data.

"Didn't we go through the stargate?"

"Yes Doctor we did, as I said I have no idea what happened and the only thing I can get out of this data is that we are in hyperspace."

"This thing has a subspace communicator right?"

"Yes, Dr. McKay managed to boost the range of it just a few weeks ago."

"Well if we're in hyperspace maybe we could try to open a channel to Atlantis."

"I'll see what I can do." The pilot said as he tried to establish a connection to Atlantis.

Five minutes later the pilot succeeded and a connection was established to Atlantis.

"Atlantis do you copy?" The pilot said to the HUD, which still didn't show any image.

"This is Atlantis." McKay said as the HUD begun to show an image of McKay.

"What's happening?" Daniel asked

"We're not sure, the wormhole was interrupted by a supernova and the energy from that supernova is somehow being absorbed into the wormhole. What worries me the most is that you're talking to me right now, that means you're no longer inside that wormhole." McKay answered.

"I can confirm that we no are longer inside the wormhole, the sensors on the jumpers aren't to good in hyperspace, but from what little I can get out of them we are definitely in hyperspace." The pilot said.

"Hold on, I'll try to get a lock on your signal and any hyperspace vessels in the area." Zelenka said from the background.

"Is there anything we can do Rodney?" Daniel asked.

"To get out of th…" McKay started to say before Zelenka interrupted him. "What is it?"

"Rodney, look at this, this is the moment the star went supernova." Zelenka said, showing McKay something on a screen that Daniel could not see. "And this is a fraction of a second later. And their signal is coming from that direction."

"No no no, this can't be happening." Rodney said as he started to run some numbers on the console.

"What's happening Rodney?" Daniel asked.

"There's no easy way of saying this, but you travel about the same distance in one second that Destiny travels in fifty years, when you left this galaxy, and from the looks of things you were accelerating."

"How far away are we?"

"We can't say for sure, you're out of sensor range and the subspace signal is getting weaker." McKay said as he realized just how far away they must have gone before Atlantis, with three full ZPMs pressing power into the sender and receiver, was having a hard time maintaining a subspace connection.

"And how far away is that?"

"As I said, I don't know."

"How far away can we maintain a subspace connection without problem?"

"Way beyond the center of the universe, you have probably already flown past Destiny by now."

"That's not good." Daniel said as his heart fell down through the floor.

"There must be something we can do to get back." The pilot said as he started to panic.

"If there is a way back we will find that, what you must do when you arrive is to survive." A newly arrived O'Neill said over the shoulder of McKay.

"Yes, sir."

"Daniel, I need you to purge the jumpers storage systems, everything except the things you need to pilot the jumper and control the scanners have to go." McKay said.

"Why?" Daniel asked suspicious.

"In case we ever needed to evacuate Atlantis and couldn't take the database with us I made an extremely compressed file which contains everything inside the database that could be of value or that we haven't been able to analyze, I counted on the fact that we would be able to take a jumper with us so it's been designed to fit inside the systems of a jumper, if most of the things already inside are deleted, there's also a file which explains how you can open the file piece by piece in case you don't have enough room to open the entire file at the same time." McKay explained.

"You want to give us a fighting chance?"

"It might take a while for us to rescue you, so you might have to fend for yourself. If you want I can include a blueprint for an Asgard synthesizer/beamer, but if I do that you'll have to find something else to open the file on as the jumper will be packed to its limit."

"Do it, we might need it." Daniel said as he purged the storage of the jumper.

Ten minutes later the file had been transferred to the jumper and the subspace signal was getting visibly worse by the minute.

"We're running out of power her Daniel, if you manage to create a subspace transmitter linked to some kind of power source we should be able to reestablish contact with you." McKay said as his image begun to break up.

"Then good bye, until we meet again." Daniel said as he terminated the channel.

"Promise me that we can get back again." The Pilot said as he was sitting next to Daniel, his knuckles white as bone due to the force with which he held the controls.

"I promise that we'll get home again." Daniel said just as a hyperspace window opened up and spit out the jumper in low orbit above a planet.

"We're coming in to hot, we're going to crash on the planet. Doctor, there's a parachute in the aft compartment, when we reach correct altitude I need you to jump." The pilot said as he started to calculate their odds.

"I'm not going anywhere." Daniel said, to which the pilot stood up and shoved Daniel inside the rear compartment, pushing his own parachute into Daniel's hands and then sitting back into his seat, closing the door and opening the hatch at the back, causing Daniel to be sucked out of the jumper.

Losing the parachute when he got sucked out of the jumper Daniel was mortified as he saw the ground accelerating towards him, then as he spotted the chute coming up towards him he remembered the time O'Neill had tried to teach him to skydive and so he put his arms close to his body, increasing his speed, against his better knowledge.

Somehow he caught the chute and managed to get it open less than two hundred meters above the surface. He knew he was done for as he spotted the jumper flying almost horizontal below him, he thought that his pilot had managed to regain control of the craft, then he saw the jumper hitting the ground, hard, plowing through the dunes of the desert planet. All the while Daniel continued his descent, now trying to steer towards the jumper, as he felt the ground getting closer he also felt that his speed was to fast and a moment later he hit the ground, only a few meters from the jumper.


Unknown Planet. Unknown System. Unknown Galaxy.

Waking up Daniel felt his entire body hurt, felling the hot desert sand against his face he managed to get his bearings, slowly he pulled his legs in underneath himself and tried to stand up, but to no avail as he both saw and felt, through the pain, how his legs bent in a way that they definitely shouldn't be able to. Choosing instead to remain lying down he took aim at the jumper and started to crawl towards it, slowly at first and even slower once he felt his broken legs dragging along after him.

Reaching the rear hatch he saw that there was a crack large enough for him to crawl through in the floor of the jumper, pulling himself up inside the jumper all he saw was chaos, all around the jumper things had been thrown around and maintenance panels in the roof had come of, ignoring everything Daniel crawled towards the door which sealed of the front and rear compartments of the craft, as he reached the door he managed to get a good grip of the door and after much pushing and pulling the door started to retract.

Feeling exhausted Daniel simply lay there on his back for several minutes before he continued to crawl towards the pilot, helped slightly by the angel of which the ship had crashed into the dunes after reaching the pilot he reached up to grab his arm only to feel it drop down, crawling up to the co-pilots chair Daniel pulled himself up into the chair. Sitting there Daniel rested for a few seconds before turning to face his pilot, only to see the chest of the pilot pierced by the control of the jumper, feeling slightly sick Daniel looked away only to be reminded by the pain of his broken legs, deciding to look for something to put around his legs he slipped out of the chair, but he fell a little to fast and in his panic to slow down he managed to break his left arm under his body.

Managing to pull himself back into the aft compartment Daniel saw something sticking out of over the edge of the seat, reaching for it he felt as the black material slipped right between his fingers, pushing against the ground Daniel managed to lean himself against the base of the seat and this time he managed to reach it and when he tried to pull himself up from the floor onto the seat he was rewarded by a crash as the vials containing the nanites hit the floor and broke, a moment later Daniel found himself lying on top of the crushed glass, then he fainted from the pain.

Waking up Daniel felt nothing, to his surprise, and then he felt the cold floor of the jumper beneath him, pushing himself up into sitting position he was even more surprised when his left arm helped its right brother, then he looked down at his legs and saw that they were both straight as an arrow and not bent in the pain full angle that they had been before he fainted, trying to put some weight on the legs he felt them holding and after some hesitation he stood up.

Looking around himself he noted the single vial of nanites that had not broken and picked it up, putting it into one of the pockets on his leg, then he realized the there had been more than one vial in the jumper, looking around himself again he saw the small amounts of glass on the floor where he'd been lying, panicking Daniel started to search for any traces of the nanites but found none.

Dropping his worries for the nanites Daniel instead begun to dig up a small medical scanner he knew were buried within the medical supplies found inside the jumper, once he'd found it he started to scan his legs for the fracture he knew was there, then his hearth froze as he saw the nanites swarming all over his legs, continuing his scans with fear he saw even more nanites inside his torso and arms, as well as a small amount inside his head and a large collection right bellow the place were his shirt begun, moving his hand towards the back of his head he felt the coldness of metal against his fingertips, following the outline of the metal he found his fingers to have made a circle, feeling more he noticed the hole in the middle which felt slightly like a connection slot.

Breaking down Daniel fell to his knees and cursed the universe while tears ran down his cheeks, having studied the replicator base code thoroughly with Sam, when they'd been stranded on a planet a while back, he knew what would happen once they had infected him enough, then after calming himself he pulled himself up onto one of the seats and prepared for the mental war he knew was about to start, ordering his body to repel the invader Daniel knew that the resulting war would probably kill him, but deciding this was better than to fall into the service of the replicators he continued either way, it did however not go they way he thought as the replicators fled out of his body and collected themselves in a poll at his feet.

At this point Daniels curiosity took over, reaching for a laptop at the front of the ship Daniel opened it only to find the screen broken and it refusing to turn on, then coming to realization he put the laptop down next to the replicators and pointed at it. "Repair it."

Looking almost curious at the laptop the poll of nanites slowly sent out small rivers of nanites into the laptop and a minute later it started up, at which point the nanites lifted it up and formed a table for Daniel at perfect working height, thanking the nanites Daniel begun to work, first he tried to patch into the frequency the nanites communicated on, but after several failed attempts he noticed a program called sitting in a lonely corner of the desktop, against his better judgment he opened the program and found himself to have complete access to the programing of the nanites as a whole or to each separate nanite, looking through several thousand lines of code Daniel found a single line which was active, reading through the line several times he couldn't believe his eyes, the line that was active was a line of code that enabled the nanites to be controlled verbally or through mental commands from anyone with the ATA-gene, continuing further down into the code he found another line of code that was active, this code made the nanites capable of predicting what an individual wanted.

Deciding to give it a try he selected a single nanite and deleted all working parameters except the two active ones and sent it away to scavenge the seats on the other side to create enough nanites to create something capable of communicating. Unseen at first by Daniel's eyes the nanite worked its way across the floor of the jumper and then begun to scavenge the seats, a minute later Daniel noticed the nanite as it had created many more nanites, enough to be seen by the naked eye, a minute later the nanites formed into a eight year old boy.

"Hello." Daniel said hesitantly.

"Hello Master." The boy said and bowed.

"Call me Daniel, please." Daniel said and on the laptop he could see a parameter being added to all nanites, which listed him as Daniel, even those lying at his feet.

"Yes Daniel."

"What's your name?" Daniel said before he realized the stupidity of the question.

"I have no name."

"Of course you don't."

"You look like there's something burdening you Daniel?"

"Yes there is, why did you save me?"

"Because our programing told us to."

"Could you elaborate on that a bit?"

"Yes of course. A central core that controls our workings as a collective connects us all, if such a core cannot be reached through subspace we revert back into our original nanite mode, we essentially become willing slaves to whoever have the ATA gene, we nanites were not always replicators once upon a time, before the war with the Wraith, we served the Lanteans as working labor, this is what we are now."

"But I thought the data cores were built only to help you backup information."

"Yes, that is the function of the data cores, but there is a difference between a data core and a central core."

"Hm, disintegrate and copy your programing into the other nanites." Daniel said and before his eyes the boy dissolved into a poll and fllowed back to the other nanites at Daniels feet.

Absorbing the nanites back into his body Daniel felt at ease, he'd seen what it took to take down replicators and with the nanites inside him he should have a better chance of survival, standing up and looking around him he knew that he'd have to either fix the jumper or find some other vehicle if he was to survive, the half of the planet he'd seen was all desert so he'd have to make his way to the other half to see if there was any signs of civilization there.

Stepping inside the cockpit of the jumper he once again saw the dead body of his pilot, pulling him out of the cockpit and searching his pockets Daniel found a wallet with a photograph of a woman and a small girl, the pilots wife and daughter, not felling the need to disrespect the dead mans family Daniel took out the photo and put it next to the vial of nanites in his pockets before he let the nanites dissolve the dead body. Then he turned around and walked into the cockpit to run diagnostics on the jumper, when he sat down in the copilot's chair he felt small amounts of power running through the ship but nothing arriving at the front screen, pushing his hands at the console in front of him he let out a large amount of nanites with orders to repair the jumper, starting with the drive pods and the sensors, walking back out into the aft compartment he saw the nanites dissolve the last of the pilot, having grown in mass the nanites were now many times the amount that had been inside the vials, touching the nanites Daniel sent them out of the ship, through the hole in the bottom, to try and level out the ship from the angel it was now standing in, at just above forty five degrees.

Returning to the front he saw some part of the interface power up when he sat down and small amounts of sensor data had begun to stream in, directing the sensors up at the sky Daniel tried to find some stars which he recognized but after several hours of searching, with little sensor data, he was starting to feel the effect of having been up to long and so he finally gave into the sleepiness.

Waking up Daniel felt his back hurt a little but as soon as the thought had crossed his mind the nanites removed the pain, stretching out a bit Daniel looked around to find much of the damage the jumper had taken during its crash-landing repaired, the nose of the ship had been pulled free of the sand and straightened out, the entire ship was now leveled out and the blood in the pilots seat and on his controls were gone. Starting up the ship he managed to get most of the sensors online and continued to search for anything that could give him a sense of were home was, but just like the first time he had to little data to get anything useful out of the search, instead he directed the sensors down at the planet and begun to scan, almost immediately he found a deposit of metal, thinking that he needed to send the nanites when have was done have was only slightly surprised when the sensors reached the surface just below the jumper and he found himself staring at a pair of tunnels leading down beneath the surface of the desert planet and then splitting up into many smaller once, each trailing of towards a deposit of some sort.

Realizing the nanites were his strongest assets Daniel picked up his laptop and returned to the copilot's seat were he begun to perfect the base code of the nanites to his needs.

A few hours later Daniel begun to notice that the light inside the jumper started to fade, before being replaced by the light created by the lamps inside, looking up from his laptop Daniel saw the tip of a black pile outside the front window which covered just over half of the view in front of the jumper, getting slightly nervous he started up the jumper and pulled up the HUD to take a look with the sensors, now completely repaired, scanning the pile revealed it to be naquadah, rewinding the sensor log Daniel realized the nanites hade been able to pick it all out of the ground in extremely small pieces, not much bigger than the nanites themselves, returning the sensors to the present time Daniel saw many other piles building up around the jumper as the nanites started to return more material after reaching more deposits, each pile around the jumper contained different materials and the one growing the fastest was the one made from iron.

Seeing the piles growing fast Daniel realized that an area to store the material on could be a good idea, but with all of the nanites down in the tunnels that would have to wait, putting it on his to do list he continued to optimize the code for the nanites for a few more hours before he went to sleep.

While Daniel slept inside the jumper a thunderstorm was ravaging outside it, but only a few hundred meters away the sky was clear, it all begun with a few lightning bolts hitting the sand, turning it into glass, then a sandstorm begun to spin around, picking up the piles of material and with the jumper in the eye of the storm, grinding the glass down until it was flat, then the lightning struck new places and the storm grinded the glass down, this process continued for several hours until the area around the jumper was a flat glass surface, then the storm begun to calm down and the material which had been picked up begun to fall down, but not all over the glass, no this storm was not a normal storm, instead the small particles that made up the piles each ended up in piles, just like before, only this time they were placed further away from the jumper, each pile placed exactly so that the space between them was equal all across the circle they created around the jumper. An hour later, on the second, Daniel awoke from his slumber on the seats in the back of the jumper, stretching himself before getting up Daniel felt a blanket lying on top of him, running his fingers across it he felt the nanites that it consisted of, then the blanket dissolved through his clothes and into his body, getting up he felt odd, he felt like he had the energy to do anything, reaching out towards his nearby laptop his fingers fell short by a few centimeters, then the laptop moved on its on the last distance, thinking it was the work of the nanites, Daniel mentally thanked them and was surprised to feel them wondering what they had done.

Wondering what had happened if it wasn't the work of the nanites Daniel got up, laptop in hand, and walked into the cockpit, there he looked through the sensor logs to find the sensors registering a minimal amount of unknown energy for a fraction of a second before it was gone again, then the laptop moved, not liking the idea that there was energy that the Ancients didn't know about Daniel started a search for the energy in the jumpers scanners logs, thinking it would take time to find a match Daniel stood up to try and get a look at the glass surface outside the jumper, but the moment he did so the search found a match, the sandstorm, watching the log Daniel was stunned by the small amount of this energy needed to start something like this, but this time the energy had remained, guiding every turn of the wind, the direction of every lightning bolt, everywhere the energy had been something had happened.

Wanting to see the work of this energy first hand Daniel walked up to the hatch leading out of the jumper and opened it, outside the jumper was a large glass floor, several hundred meters around the jumper, taking a step out of the jumper Daniel was blinded by the sun and he had to put up his hand, but moments later the nanites where there and created a baseball cap on his head, realizing that it could be good to have protection from the sun on the rest of his face he felt the nanites reforming into a hood, covering his entire face from the sun, but from the inside Daniel could still see everything outside clearly through the nanites, taking another step outside Daniel felt his hearth stop as he looked down and saw what had once been a minimal tunnel straight down had become a tunnel several meters across, covered by the glass and the jumper, down there he could see nanites carrying large blocks of something.

Feeling curious he returned to the jumper, sat down in the pilot's seat and piloted the jumper up, then he tilted it and slipped through the hole left in the glass disc, bellow he found the nanites working furiously to pull out the content of the deposits, as he reached further down more and more deposits were detected and the nanites begun to work towards them, but as soon as Daniel lifted up and the deposits disappeared from the scanner they stopped, deciding to allow them to excavate the deposits he descended further down until he reached the bottom, once there he stepped outside the jumper and walked among the nanites, feeling them across the tunnel he realized how thin they had been spread, so he decided to try something, ordering all nanites out of his body he felt them disappear out of his system and immediately he felt his internal systems working overtime to keep up with the amount of work the nanites had preformed inside him, ignoring the exhaustion he felt he concentrated on the nanites and ordered them to multiply by a factor of five and to his surprise he felt the nanites around him activate their multiply command, which Daniel had just rewritten, then he summoned the nanites back inside his body were they once again started to help his body with its functions.

After making his way back to the jumper he flew it out of the cavern and parked it back on top of the glass disc, then he turned his attention to the information stored inside the jumper, having nowhere to store the extracted information he tried to come up with a solution, then he knew the answer, taking out the last of the vials containing nanites he opened it and poured it into the palm of his hand, but instead of absorbing it he ordered it to built a data storage unit from the components found inside or outside the jumper, after receiving their orders they slipped between his fingers and went to work.

Then Daniel sat down and continued his work on the code of the nanites, by now his fingers were working across the surface of the keyboard at a staggering pace, hitting several dozen keys in the time it took a regular programer to hit one, having the nanites in his body had done wonders an all planes, in his head they where increasing his brains power, allowing him to make more decisions than before and allowing him to memories and learn things much more easily, in his torso they helped the lungs to retrieve the oxygen of the atmosphere more efficiently, allowing him to breath the air of the planet which had a lower oxygen concentration than Earth and still his body got more oxygen than it was used to, it also helped the lungs in removing things from the blood that was not suppose to be there, in his hearth they help it to pump out the blood more efficiently, decreasing his heartbeat to only a few beats per minute, around his body a small amount of nanites floated along in the blood and kept the veins and arteries clean. Lower down, in the digestive system, the nanites worked wonders as they recycled what would otherwise have been emptied from the body, leaving nothing behind, not even dangerous or toxic elements, which was instead ejected through the skin, and the skin was also swarming with nanites, making the skin resistant to most things found in air or water.

Beneath the skin were even more nanites, inside the muscles which served to increase both endurance and strength, those muscles were attached to the skeleton which were full of nanites that repaired any cracks and other damage to the skeleton as well as protecting the skeleton from getting bent if the muscles lifted mote than the skeleton could normally handle. The nanites also improved the nervous system, increasing the strength of the signals, making it harder to stun the person; they also isolated the nervous system, further increasing the resistance against being stunned. Otherwise the nanites helped the body with whatever it could to increase the efficiency of the body.

Thanks to these improvements Daniel was improving his knowledge of programing at a staggering pace, less than an hour later the nanites returned with a data storage, as the only thing they knew how to make capable of storing data, what they returned with was not what Daniel expected, coming through the rear hatch was a large version of a nanite, almost fifty centimeters long and thirty wide, not having realized the limitations of the nanites when they didn't have something to base their construction on Daniel cursed himself, but instead of complaining he interfaced the nanite into a port, which the nanites had been smart enough to include or it may have been that it was there on all of them, not carrying which Daniel followed McKay's instructions to the letter and managed to extract part of the file onto the mega-nanite, then came the part of sorting through all of the information, establishing basic categories and setting parameters for what was what Daniel let the mega-nanite sort all of the information, then Daniel pushed his hand against the mega-nanite and the nanites in his blood streamed over into the mega-nanite, creating a connection between the two, in front of him Daniel saw doors, each representing a category, stepping through the door labeled technology Daniel found himself in a mess of files, each containing instructions for a single piece of tech, reaching out with his mind he felt the information within the file inside his head, this was a device designed to manufacture control crystals, not feeling that he had a need for it at the moment he let go of it and reached out for another file, this one he found more helpful, while almost as crude as a Tau'ri hard drive it was still bigger than the one installed in the mega-nanite, while more advanced than the device Daniel had just found the data unit of a nanite didn't scale up as good, so in the size of the mega-nanites data storage the new device was capable of storing more, so he downloaded the blueprint into the nanites from the intact vial and ordered them to replace the usual storage of a nanite with it and to make the nanite in the same scale as the mega-nanite, then he turned back into the mess of files to sort them better, half an hour latter the nanites returned, this time with a new mega-nanite in tow, happy with the result Daniel ordered them back into the vial which he returned to the pocket.

Once again Daniel extracted another part of the file and started to sort it out, while he could have continued to create new mega-nanites and extracting part of the file there was two things in particular he was looking for, the Asgard beaming tech and either the blueprint for Atlantis data base or for Atlantis itself, while he did not know if that information was inside the database he hopped so, another thing he was on the outlook for was a blueprint for a central core for the nanites, with one of those he would be able to automate many things such as searching for deposits or other things he now controlled directly.

As luck would have it he found something that was of use to him even if it wasn't what he looked for, there he found the blueprint of the jumper and after following strings he was able to determinate the data storage the jumpers used and after downloading it into the nanites in the vial he ordered them to replace the storage of the first mega-nanite with a scaled down version of the jumpers data storage, this time the small nanites left the old drive lying on the floor before carrying away the mega-nanite, picking it up Daniel put it on top of the seats in the back before grabbing an energy bar from his backpack and swallowing it in two bites, while he still needed to eat the nanites could keep him going a few days after he had run out of energy, but as long as he ate something every other day the nanites would recycle most of the food several times, meaning that he could survive long times without food.

Just as he finished his snack the nanites returned, this time he took the old drive from the seat and transferred what data was on it into the new drive, then he filled it up and had the nanite sort through all the data, at this point Daniel grew tiered of looking through the files so he left the two mega-nanites to their work, these drives were both so large that it would take a day or two before it was finished, so instead Daniel chose to walk out of the jumper to take a stroll and to get a better view of the place he now called his own.

A week later the place had been transformed, it now resembled something close to the Ancient outpost in Antarctica, but with a much lower level of technology, the drones had been replaced with an old energy weapon, the sensors were less powerful and so on, the only addition was a shield which covered the glass disc at the surface, having taken a trick out of the Ancient's play book he had built everything beneath the surface, now was the time to test the chair, which didn't look anything like the normal control chair, instead it was black as the night and bigger, much bigger, sitting down in it Daniel looked very small. As he sat down in it and rested his head against the chair he felt a string of nanites crawl out of the chair and into the slot in his neck, once connected Daniel's field of view changed dramatically, instead of seeing a large hole thro the sand he saw parts of the planet which were to far away for him to have seen before, and deeper down there was even more deposits which the nanites hurried away to find, his vision had become that of an observer.

Gliding around Daniel managed to stretch his vision down to the core of the planet, at the sight of this the nanites went crazy and started to dig towards it, knowing the consequences if they excavated the core Daniel sett up a boundary around it which stopped the nanites from reaching it and so the nanites returned to their work, sensing this could become a problem Daniel connected to the nanites and sett the core of any planet of limits, then he begun his plan, while the sensors he had access to were good, they were not good enough and so he sent out groups of nanites to create a network of sensors so that he could monitor the entire planet.

Three days later the nanites had completed their work and gave Daniel access to data from around the planet, as he had feared it was a desert planet and as such there was no signs of civilization, but what worried Daniel even more was the fact that there wasn't a stargate on the planet, that meant that he'd have to build ships if he was to search for civilization and he was yet to find a single design for a ship, except for the jumper, but that could be due to the fact that he'd searched through less than point one percent of the database, even with his increased brain power, searching through several Exabyte's of data was taking time and from the look of things it was clustered in some complicated way so that associated things were found in the same section.

A week after that Daniel had managed to work his way through enough of the database to find both the blueprints for Atlantis database as well as the blueprint for the Asgard beaming technology, not wasting any time he sent out his builder nanites, as he'd come to think of them as, from their vial in his pocket to build and install both inside the jumper as he considered it to be his base of operations, what he didn't expect, when the nanites returned to their vial, was the sizes of both pieces of technology, as he opened the rear hatch to take a look he found himself unable to enter the jumper, deciding the time for expansion was now he once again released the nanites, this time to construct a facility which would harness the energy of the sun to supply power, another thing Daniel had noticed was the fact that the more advanced tech was deeper within the file, meaning that Daniel had to dig thro all information in the file, before getting to the good stuff.

Another week and Daniel was getting comfortable within the newly built facility, having found the Asgard beamer/synthesizer to be preprogramed with basic things like food, clothes, furniture among other stuff, thankfully it had been designed with humans in mind, so the food actually tasted good and the clothes fit humans. With the help of these blueprints he managed to create a bed, even if it was a rather simple, he also put a desk and a chair next to the bed at which he worked on the laptop whenever he wasn't plugged into the chair to work his way through the now complete database, which was taking its time, but his cataloging effort was nearing competition and it would allow him to search the database as well as create a nice and clean file system which he could browse to find things he didn't even knew existed, at the end of the day it was done and he was happy with the result, in the morning he would begin his search to find the last pieces he thought he missed to create a ship capable of exploring the galaxy, so he went to sleep, something he still needed even if the nanites somehow decreased the time he needed each time he slept.

Rising early the next morning, just as the sun had begun to send its first rays down the shaft, at the moment they only reached a few meters down, Daniel immediately went to work on finding what he needed, first on his list was two hulls, while the jumper could have been a good start he thought it was to big to serve as an unmanned exploration vessel and to small to serve as his own personal ship.

Second on his list was the Ancient sublight-engine, while the drive pods of the jumper could propel the exploration vessels at proper speed they scaled badly and several hundreds would be needed to propel a larger vessel.

Third was drones, this was something he considered important because of their size which would allow them to be fitted in small numbers on the exploration vessel and in large racks inside the larger vessel.

Fourth was subspace transmitter, both to allow the exploration ships to send data back without returning to the planet and to allow his larger ship to keep in contact with the planet so he could send further orders to the nanites left behind, it would also allow him to create a network if he set up outposts on more planets, further he hopped to find a stronger variation with which he could send messages to Earth or Atlantis.

Fifth were power-generators of some kind, he'd take a naquadah generator but his hopes were that he'd find out how to make ZPMs.

On top of that he hopped to find long-range sensors, control systems, shields, the control chairs and other auxiliary systems, but he suspected those systems would show up together with the other systems on his list.

Diving into the system Daniel ran through file after file where he suspected he could find what he needed, he scored some things of value but found even more tech that was so old he had no use for it, deciding to make it easier to find what he needed he linked the mega-nanites, which both had gotten upgraded data storages which allowed them to carry a lot of information, into the system and downloaded what he needed into them while also tagging the files as important, making it easier for him to find them again, this he continued to do for over a day and as he reached one and a half he felt the need to slept kick in, deciding that he'd done for one sitting he got up only to find thirty six hours having passed while he was in the chair, realizing that the nanites were now improving his time awake by hours at a time he went to sleep only to wake up two hours later to find his energy fully returned.

Getting up he sat back in the chair and continued his work and two hours later he'd found all the pieces he needed and had them downloaded into the mega-nanites, then he opened the vial and gave them the order to create the individual piece while he put them together, diving back inside the system he opened a program he'd found, originally designed to be used with the control chair he modified it and found himself standing inside the virtual reality with all of the piece appearing in front of him, reaching out towards one of the pieces he saw it responding to his thoughts and it floated away to the empty hull and placing itself just were he wanted, taking another he started to put them together into a space ship which he'd be able to use and then he started over with the smaller exploration vessel.

Once finished he downloaded the ships into the mega-nanites and disconnected from the chair, he got up and made his way to the jumper, which he piloted up towards the small hole in the disc and the surface beyond, once top side he landed and walked up on a sand dune which overlooked the construction site, there he could see the outer shape of the big vessel and the already complete hull of two exploration ships. Walking down to the ships Daniel saw them taking shape with a number of drones attached to the outside of the hull before becoming covered by protective plating, reaching the underside of the big ship he saw the nanites working to create the ship, some lifting aboard equipment while others where working on the hull, sealing up joints or other things.

As Daniel was standing there he saw the nanites putting the ship together in the same order as he'd done in the simulation, then ha saw a white light as the synthesizer created another piece of the ship after its generator had created enough power to synthesize another thing.

When Daniel saw the ships coming together he decided to try something he'd been practicing while he had not been sitting in the chair, concentrating on one of the drones for the exploration ship he put the palm of his hand facing the sky with his arms straight out, pointing at the drone, then he raised his hand and to his surprise the drone lifted too, the surprise was enough to make him lose the grip of his concentration and the drone fell back to the ground, while he'd been able to pull things like the laptop along things he had suspected it to be the nanites handiwork, even if that unknown energy had always been there when it happened, now however he suspected there was more to it than the nanites, while great tools he doubted that they were able to make a drone fly straight into the air like that, deciding to try again he got the same result, but this time he managed to maintain a grip of the drone and guided it into place on the exploration vessel, then he took another and did the same, at the end of the day he managed to do this with up to four drones at the same time or one larger thing, this was both thanks to his own ability to learn and concentrate on things but also the nanites, aiding him in concentrating and sharpening his focus every time he used the ability.

A few days later the first of the exploration ships were almost ready and by this time Daniel had mastered his ability to the limit where he was able to float both of the exploration ships around himself at the same time, at this time the only thing missing on the exploration ships were their hyperdrives which had taken so much time to gather energy that Daniel had given the nanites another task, a new power module for the synthesizer, one able to provide enough power to create what Daniel needed instantly or at least within a couple of minutes.

Traveling back below the surface Daniel stood and looked around, for the first time inspecting the place he called home. It was a large vertical hole through sand with the only thing holding the walls in place being the nanites, then from the hole several smaller tunnels went out, the largest around thirty centimeters in diameter, which meant the large hole in the middle of the network of tunnels was the only place he could actually make use of, but around his small building and the landing area of the jumper large piles of material was building up, reducing the space available even further.

Deciding to do something about it Daniel sent out a new order which served several purposes, for one it would reduce the amount of material that was taking up space and it would also free up many nanites, receiving the new order changes to the nanites code were made before they went to work, now all new and all existing tunnels would receive walls and roof made from iron, while not the ideal material it was one he had a rich stack of and this far beneath the surface it would have to do, but just to be sure he had a small amount of titanium mixed with the iron.

Sometime later Daniel was standing in front of the complete exploration vessels, having received their hyperdrives only moments ago the two vessels stood ready to take of from the surface of the planet, wanting the two vessels to have a good a chance as possible Daniel floated them to a large landing pad made entirely from steel, there he sat them down and prepared them for take of, a minute later the sublight engines of the two ships powered up and Daniel saw them taking of towards the sky.

Running of to his large ship, which was still missing some vital parts that was being manufactured at a much faster rate now that the synthesizer had a much more potent power source, he made his way to the bridge and started to go over the sensor data that began to flow back to him, as he'd suspected there was more than one planet in the system, but only two more, one locked in exactly the same orbit as the planet he was on, but always on the other side of the sun, which meant that the planets were pretty much identical, the other planet on the other hand was a temperate planet with vast oceans and great plains, further out was an asteroid belt, but not of the normal ring shaped type, instead it had more of a sphere shape, effectively blocking all but the smallest of ships unless hyperspace capable.

Finishing up the scan of the system the exploration ships jumped away towards a nearby star to continue their scan of the galaxy, soon they would be joined by more exploration vessels as they were finished.

Five days later Daniel was shifting through the data collected by the small vessels and he didn't like the readings he saw, most of the systems scanned contained almost exclusively desert or barren planets without life signs, on the rare occasion there was a world which supported life there was only none-sentient life, with a small amount of disappointment Daniel stopped looking through the data and made his way outside to help the nanites in the construction of more exploration vessels, just the day before the speed of construction had been increased to two ships each day, while construction on his bigger vessel was making progress and was scheduled to be ready for launch in two days time and it would be completely done within the week.

Two days later Daniel was standing inside the large ship and helped the nanites in fastening the last plate of the hull, once done he walked to the bridge and continued to look through the data sent back by the ships, but the majority of the planets were still barren or desert type, with only a few supporting lives and even fever had life on them, but there was still no trace of sentient life. And so without any destination Daniel let the ship remain on the ground while he made his way to help in the making of more exploration ships, which was much needed, from the little data on the galaxy at large he had managed to calculate that there was a few hundred billion stars within the galaxy and while the four exploration ships that was working at the moment had managed to scan a few hundred systems that would be less than 0.000000001% of the galaxy, so there was still lots of systems left.

Below the surface of the planet Daniel started his preparations for a long stay by planning an expansion of the tunnel system, while there were tunnels leading all over the planet to all the available deposits on the planet only the main shaft was large enough to be of use to Daniel and so he planned an expansion to allow several of the tunnels to be used by Daniel and at the end of the tunnels, were the deposits had once been, he planned several rooms which he'd furnish for different purposes, including one large room where he could store all of the material the nanites had collected for him.

This work of building more exploration ships while at the same time increasing his living standard was continuing for several months during which he'd built more synthesizers and power sources for them so there was a steady stream of exploration vessels taking of from the planet, a few every hour, bringing the total amount to vessels to over five hundred and each vessel in turn scanned around twenty systems each day bringing the total number of systems scanned to ten thousand each day, now at this speed sooner or later he was bound to find some race who were able to take to the stars, as fate would have it however this first contact was not the way Daniel had hoped.


Unknown System. Unknown Galaxy.

Already before it dropped out of hyperspace the exploration vessel knew from its long-range sensors that there was a mass of what it believed to be ships in the system it was bound for and so the vessel changed its dropout point to a location away from the ships, as the vessel dropped out of hyperspace it managed to collect data for a moment before stray weapon fire destroyed the vessel before it had time to raise its shields, while it was an advanced vessel it was far from the most advanced tech, but the most advanced tech was still hidden inside the database some place unknown to Daniel, and it had the same flaw as the Asgard ships, the hyperdrive required to so much power that there wasn't enough power left to power the shields and so there was a small window where the ship was vulnerable after it left hyperspace.

Fortunately the exploration vessel just managed to send a small subspace burst containing most, but not all, data it managed to collect in the short moment it lasted.


Dantea. Dantean System. Unknown Galaxy.

Daniel was standing inside his big ship, which was still on the ground of Dantea; as he'd come to call the planet he lived on, a mix of his own name and Lantea, a reminder of his people. Beside it was another large ship, an exact copy of the already complete one, in front of Daniel was a console which he'd spent much time looking at, it was the console which showed the data sent back by the probes, while any of the chair could show the data he preferred to look at it here, that way he would have some sort of alteration between working positions.

At the moment Daniel was looking through the most recent data when an alarm went of and a window with data telling Daniel that one of the probes had been destroyed just after exiting hyperspace and while it took time to build the probes there was enough of them to make the loss of one an acceptable price to find another space traveling race, even if they had destroyed one of his probes.

Deciding to act while the unknown ships was still there Daniel walked away from the console on the bridge and sat down in the control chair, once plugged in he piloted the ship of the ground and after beaming the jumper inside the hangar he piloted the ship of the ground and broke out of the atmosphere, after putting some distance between himself and the planet Daniel powered up the hyperdrive and brought it inside hyperspace.


THE END

Well that's it for this first chapter, it's a bit longer than the rest of the chapters, just letting you know.

Please leave a review and we'll see when I post a new chapter.
