Review responses: (Remember that I read all reviews and respond to those that have questions)

Sajuuk: Sorry, but I don't really make any good diagrams, etc. It's one of those things I've never been good at. Yes, they absolutely do raid Ra's shipyard with quite devastating consequences.

enji-benji: You wrote multiple reviews so I'll go up the list.

-Start Rant-

Chapter 1 review:

I am using return. I just thought the timeline of sorts would be clear enough with just the horizontal lines acting as spacers.

The hive mind absolutely does not work on a alert one and all gets alerted. Terrans could connect and disconnect from the hive mind at will. In any case, the Wizarding world has isolated themselves from the Terrans. The hive mind itself only came into being at around 1500 and finished 'growing' at around 1800. That's less than 200 years of hiding.

Muggle baiting isn't illegal. Nobody does it because there's no driving force behind it. From birth, the purebloods indoctrinate their kids to fear the muggles because of the bombardment. They indoctrinate hatred too but mainly fear in an attempt to isolate them.

Considering that the Goa'uld scavenge technology everywhere, I think they would realise that the drone weapons are unbeatable Ancient technology because they are so far above the average technology level of the planet. Unlike what you might think, the Goa'uld do not just decide to send ships to their death without a reasonable advance in technology that they think could beat the defence.

Fall of Goa'uld on Earth: 6000BFE. Fall of Earth: 0. That is 6000 years. Plenty of time for Ra to build a fleet. In any case, the Goa'uld didn't truly begin their wars until Ra fell. The Lanteans would install defences powered by what? A single almost depleted potentia? Wood fired generators? No Naquadah on Earth. No refined materials either. You can't just build a planetary defence facility with quite literally no resources.

The ones that went south ascended, yes. The ones that went into the galaxy- we'll find out later. The ones that remained could only teach the nomadic, hunter-gatherer human societies. I doubt they would survive the 6000 years to the attack.

As for the feeling shoehorned in Wizarding world part? That's how it's meant to be. The Terrans just discovered them. They would play their part later.

Chapter 2 review:

Did you fail to read the first chapter properly? I know it's a timeline but if you don't read it, you would be somewhat lost. It's only around 5000 words long. I mentioned that the Terrans only had access to a fragment of the Atlantis database. A huge amount of information but not enough to go all full on curbstomp mode. Also, they did know the address to go home. If you look at any Alteran star map in SG-1 or SG-A, you would see that the gate addresses listed NEVER has a 7th symbol (except for the Atlantis address which should have 8 but has because one is missing). The Terrans knew what a Point of Origin is. They knew they needed one. They just didn't know which one it was on Abydos, hence the trial and error. In any case, I have decided to attempt to fill some plotholes on the original gate system. More on that later. In any case, what you're saying here is essentially this: 'I hope you die because you didn't study information that you don't have.'

True, the Jaffa probably hadn't been invented yet in the Stargate movie, but let's just treat it as a plothole and attempt to fill it shall we? After all, the Goa'uld were established for millennia and Jaffa were around for much of that. It just makes less sense to say they don't exist now but will exist a year in the future and had existed the past.

Chapter 3 review:

Are you childist or something? Do you honestly believe that only adults possess intelligence/wisdom? Have you ever considered that the Terran's mandatory basic training would still exist? Did you not read about Harry's preparation to enter the school? What is wrong with him carrying 'state of the art military grade weapons and explosives'? Is it intelligence? Let's compare the relevant traits of a Terran to a human.

Terran: stronger and smarter due the original gene serum, wiser due to hive mind information, experience and understanding transfer.

Human: train muscles up to acceptable grade through hours upon hours of hard work, some make it to adulthood and still make totally idiotic decisions and most importantly, no wisdom until they learn the hard way.

Now let's compare the brains:

Terran: Can reserve portion of mind as processing power for the hive-mind. Lets say... 30 percent. Average human mind could store maybe 100 terabytes if all neurons are dedicated to storage and none for processing. Lets say for moment that a Terran brain is anatomically to a normal human one (they aren't but lets say they are). That 30 terabytes equivalent of neurons could be used to store and process information perfectly all the time, without rest or respite. They could download information, experiences, etc. in an instant. That is the equivalent of essentially terabytes of information transfer. Flawlessly. And the human mind? Except for a few exceptions, it starts forgetting things as soon as it's heard. If we go by Stargate canon, they only use 10 percent of the brain. Therefore, any Terran is already at least 3x smarter than an equivalent standard human. Perhaps the Terran child's brain is incapable of handling the information of the hive mind but this does not make them a pushover. Ever.

If you don't think this is enough to make sure Harry handles his weapons responsibly, look to the Stargate episode 'Absolute Power'. We clearly see that a child, given proper guidance, could be very wise.

I like reviews. I enjoy reading about other's views on my work but please, use a bit of logic when writing your reviews and make sure to actually cross-reference to make sure your review makes sense.

-End Rant- (956 words)

Right. Now that that's handled, let's see what would happen if the Terrans actually had the entire Lantean database. Just for you, I have included a bonus story at the end in which we get to see the Terrans eradicate the Goa'uld and deliver punishment to those that didn't intervene. We get to see what happens if they never learnt to deal with another, more primitive society like the wizards, if they were hellbent on revenge and hatred, if they never learn morals, if their technology advances too fast.

Chapter 4: Escalation

Ra's shipyard, Stargate room, P3S-133, 1991 (First Contact +1 week)

Two Jaffa stood, silently guarding the stargate from the enemies of their god, Ra. The distant sound of voices and the occasional crackle of energy followed by screams could be heard as distant slaves worked and Jaffa 'encouraged' them. But still, the gate room was far enough away that the sounds were muffled almost to the point of silence.

Suddenly, the stargate began receiving, slowly locking onto a set of co-ordinates. The Jaffa spun around, taking a defensive position in front of the gate with their staff weapons raised. With a slurp, a single leg stepped out of the event horizon, pausing for a bit before Ra completely emerged. In his left hand, he held a chain, the purpose of which was soon revealed as ten slaves, dressed in ragged clothes, attached along it by iron collars around the neck emerged from the gate. Hurriedly, the Jaffa lowered their weapons and bowed deeply to their master. One of them had the courage to ask his master why he was personally carrying the chain. Ra's eyes flashed.

"You dare question your god?" Ra asked in the deep, resonating Goa'uld voice.

"No my god," the Jaffa hurriedly answered. Perhaps not so intelligently, he continued: "It is just strange for you to come unannounced and personally bringing slaves."

Ra's eyes flashed again and he raised his free hand, revealing a Kara kesh hand device. Immediately, the Jaffa that spoke up began writhing with pain, eventually stopping when his brain was thoroughly scrambled. The other Jaffa had sat through this with his head bowed reverently.

"Clean up this mess," Ra ordered coldly, spinning around and marching out of the room with a harsh yank on the chain, tugging his slaves along.

Hogsmeade station, Terra

Harry and Hermione disembarked from the train and gathered, with the rest of the first years, at the feet of the huge man that attempted to break into Harry's skyscraper. As Harry watched, the man rubbed his shoulder which had, just a week ago, been shattered. Eventually, they were led to a series of rickety, dilapidated boats which should have been replaced centuries ago. Harry and Hermione climbed into one and it rocked violently. Just then, Malfoy and his goons showed up again.

"Sorry, Malfoy, we can't take on too much weight or we'll capsize. We'll take Crabbe and Goyle though," Harry smirked.

"No more than four to a boat!" Hagrid called out.

Malfoy turned and ordered one of his goons away, before ignoring Harry and climbing in, with Goyle following right behind him. The end result had the boat tilting dangerously to Goyle's side. Seeing that the students have all boarded, Hagrid began the journey. When Hogwarts came in sight, Malfoy turned to Harry, fully intent on continuing their earlier conversation.

"Do you really think you're better than a Malfoy, Potter? Your dirty mudblood mother-"

"Oh, you know who I am? Right, of course you do. I'm famous- unlike you. Tell me Malfoy, did you bring another change of clothes with you?" Harry interrupted.

Turning red with embarrassment and anger, Malfoy snarled and spat. "Unlike your filthy family, Malfoys are the best of the Wizarding world. There's never a shortage of anything!"

"That's good," replied Harry, before turning to Hermione and seemingly having a silent conversation with her. A short while later, they both developed a wicked smirk and began to sing.

"If you're happy and you know it, rock the boat!" With that, they both leaned to one side and the other, causing the boat to tip violently and Malfoy to squeal.

Eventually they came to a particularly worrying line: "If you're happy and you know it, roll the boat!"

Malfoy's eyes widened. "Stop them!" He shrieked.

Goyle stood to comply. Of course, standing wasn't the best thing to do as the sudden shifting of weight inadvertently assisted Harry and Hermione in their effort to capsize the tiny boat. With a tremendous splash, the boat flipped and dumped its contents into the lake. Goyle began sinking as he didn't know how to swim. Malfoy began attempting to tread water to stay afloat; something made much harder because his robes kept becoming entangled with his feet. Harry and Hermione were untouched by the water as they sat in a floating, spherical blue psionic shield which kept the water out – of course, the hapless witches and wizards of non-Terran descent had no idea what it was.

Ra's shipyard, P3S-133

Ra marched, pulling his slaves, towards a Ha'tak mothership which was sitting in a large landing zone. Every now and then, they would pass a group of despondent looking slaves carrying materials or tools to another ship under construction. Without breaking stride Ra dispensed punishment for the very few slaves whom vocalised their unhappiness. Upon seeing his arrival, each of Ra's Jaffa would bow reverently.

Eventually boarding the Ha'tak with a ring platform, he went to the Pel'tak and accessed the intercom, ordering everybody out. Being trained not to question their god's motives for fear of death, almost everyone left immediately. In fact, only one person was left. This person was in fact, a symbiote in a host whom were spying on Ra's operations and was suspicious of his sudden commandeering of the Ha'tak as well as the ten slaves that gave off a strange feeling. The agent quickly went to hide in a distant storage room and began waiting for Ra to do whatever he came to do.

Pel'tak, Ra's Ha'tak, Ra's shipyard, P3S-133

When the stream of ring transporter activations and people walking down the cargo ramp stopped, Ra placed his hand on the interface device and locked down the ship's important areas. Next, he ordered it to take off. Ra and the ten chained Terrans with him watched the clouds pass by as the massive pyramidal ship ascended to space. Moments later, a blue/purple hyperspace window formed which the ship then shot into. With the ship safely under Terran control, the 'slaves' broke the flimsy shackles securing them and stretched, rubbing their sore, chaffed skin.

"Did we really have to make him pull so hard?" Colonel O'Neill of SG-1 complained as he rubbed his neck. As the seconds passed, the light scrapes sealed themselves and the skin returned to its original colour.

"Sorry sir, but it had to look convincing. You saw how the Jaffa still questioned their god." Captain Carter replied.

"Speaking of the Jaffa, what about the second one guarding the gate? He must have seen Terra's gate address lighting up on the DHD when we dialled in."

"Nothing to worry about," Interjected Colonel Reynolds of OWA-1. "I took the liberty to mess with his mind. The most he will remember of the DHD is a vague, fuzzy image, as though he didn't focus on it. The information isn't simply supressed; it's gone. Nothing to lead back to us."

Hogwarts, Terra

A sopping wet Draco Malfoy and Gregory Goyle stood in front of the massive doors to the great hall. Of course, Malfoy had been unable to change his clothes again, considering that his trunk was still on the train. Around them, the other first years were pointing and giggling. Some were even telling stories of how Goyle caused the boat to flip. Though no stories were told as frequently as the one about the glowing blue ball of energy that saved the other two from falling in or about Malfoy's misfortune.

"It must be accidental magic! Nobody has so much control this young!" One child spoke up.

"No way! It seemed way too deliberate to be any accidental magic. You saw how the ball moved with the other boats!" A second child rebutted.

"Look at Malfoy. Seems he finally got what's coming to his pompous, arrogant ass. Nothing will beat this humiliation!" A third openly laughed.

"Yeah, it looks like father dearest won't be able to pull the little pest out of this one!" The first exclaimed.

"Hey, wasn't he the guy who wet his pants on the train?" The second asked.

"He did?"

"Yeah, in the corridor. He had this awful smell on him and that wet patch at his crotch."

Just then the doors opened and Professor McGonagall stepped out, glaring sternly at the students until they all settled down. "You will form a neat, alphabetically ordered line and when the sorting ceremony starts, you will walk in and wait for your name to be called. When you are called, you're to sit on the stool I will be standing behind and I will place the sorting hat on your head for you to be sorted. Any questions?"

With no questions forthcoming from the suitably intimidated first years, she turned and marched back inside once the students had formed a single line. Without word, the first years followed her in. The hall was absolutely silent for the grand spectacle of the new kids. Of course, when the sorting actually started, the whispers started once again. Harry Potter didn't really listen to the other children's sortings. He only paid attention to a few that mattered to him, thus, he listened when "Granger, Hermione" was called.

The Terran girl strode up to the stool and confidently sat down, waiting for the hat to be placed on her head. A minute passed before "Gryffindor" was called out. Harry smiled, proud of his friend. Eventually, the sorting reached "Potter, Harry" and immediately, a silence fell over the hall, broken only by the occasional whispered question on whether he was "The Harry Potter". Harry confidently plonked down on the stool, looking as though he didn't have a care in the world. The hat fell over his head and immediately, a voice spoke to him.

'Ah, another of you Terrans.'

Of course, Harry was well used to such mental occurrences because of his birthright; psionics. 'Ah, a telepathic hat. Who would have thought?'

Harry could vaguely feel the hat's displeasure.

'Alright enough of that. Let's get you sorted. Hmmmm…' the hat hummed, as though it was deep in thought.

'You do have a brilliant mind on you, but then again, I haven't yet met a Terran without one. You show plenty of loyalty and dedication towards your goals and friends. Plenty of courage and cunning but a bit sadistic towards those you're not fond of. That plot with those owls? Ruthless and effective for something that you made in just a few seconds. You predicted the response of the wizards correctly. What's this about a plan I see? You wish to turn a part of the Wizarding world to embrace muggle technology then have them share the experience with other wizards? By using your fellow Terrans in school to peer pressure others who are receptive into joining? A plan that could just work.'

'Will you hurry up and make your decision? It's been 10 minutes already!'

'A very close choice. But in the end, I think it better be…'

"Slytherin!" The hat finished aloud.

Silence. Shocked, stunned, gobsmacked silence. How could their saviour end up in such an evil house? Nobody believed such an absurd thing was possible. Of course, Harry didn't care. He had all the tools he needed to complete his mission on a necklace and all the support he would need integrated into the student and staff population. Looking around, he met the eyes of a black haired teacher on the staff table. Meeting his eyes, he felt a psionic connection begin to form. Accepting and completing the link, the man, Severus Snape, updated him on the Wizarding world. Harry then requested access to Snape's other links and found himself in the local psionic network of the Terrans at Hogwarts. Also on the staff table, the man wearing a turban narrowed his eyes.

Mars Orbit, Sol system (First contact +1 week, 3 days)

For the second time in a week, a hyperspace window formed over Mars and a single, modern Goa'uld Ha'tak ship entered orbit. The Terrans on board smiled in triumph and linked back to the hive mind. Mission reports were sent and new orders returned. Ra was commanded to land the Ha'tak in the recently vacated slip 1 of shipyard 1. Ra immediately brought the ship down so that it was brushing along the edge of the atmosphere.

In the store room, the spy noticed the ship dropping out of hyperspace. It immediately came out into the corridor. Fortunately for it, it was outside of the range of the Terran's 200 metre passive ability to detect sentient life. Finding the nearest terminal, it downloaded the ship's navigational data into a storage crystal and immediately ran for the hangar bay. Upon reaching the door, it saw that the bay was locked down. Without pause, it immediately pulled off the control panel and began rearranging the control crystals. In a short while, the door slid open. On the Pel'tak, Ra was immediately notified of the breach in the system and through him, the Terrans were alerted too. Immediately reaching out, their minds sought out the perpetrator, zeroing in on a distant target and pinpointing it in mere seconds…

Seconds too long. The spy had already sprinted across the distance to an Al'kesh bomber. With a bright flash, the spy dematerialised in the shuttle's ring transporter, throwing off the Terran's telepathic lock, requiring valuable seconds to reacquire. In this time, the spy had run into the cockpit –if it could be called that- and took off, sending the code to open the hangar bay doors on the go. With the bomber shooting forward into the void, the Terrans once again reacquired their target and immediately launched a massive telepathic attack. The power of the billions of Terran minds ruthlessly flattened the mind of both the symbiote and host, causing the body to be without a controller. In a fluid motion, the Terrans took over the mindless body and turned towards the control panel. Too late. The hyperdrive had already been activated and a course was almost done being calculated. It leads a short way back into Goa'uld space. As the feeble baseline human body the Terrans were controlling began crossing the distance to the control panel, a hyperspace window opened and the Al'kesh dove in. A second later, the hyperspace window closed and cut the connection the Terrans had with the body.

The Terrans immediately began improvising. After taking a few milliseconds to review the recent memories of the symbiote, a decision was made to find the bomber in the hope of destroying the data on Terra's whereabouts. New orders were relayed. Ra immediately ordered the Ha'tak to leave the atmosphere and open a hyperspace window. With a purple/blue flash, the Ha'tak entered in pursuit.

The Terrans on board the Ha'tak began preparing for possible combat. Mass storage devices were fished out of pockets and suits and weapons materialised. Within the minute, the Terrans had discarded their dilapidated slave clothing and were now dressed in state of the art powered assault armour with a full complement of weapons.

Terran's Ha'tak, Unknown space (Al'kesh escape + 4 hours)

Finally arriving at the last known location of the Al'kesh- according to the hyperspace monitoring station, which was nearing the limit of its range- the Ha'tak dropped out of hyperspace, only to be met with empty space. There was literally nothing there that the Terrans or the Ha'tak could detect. After flying around and searching for several hours, the Terrans sighed, defeated and ordered Ra to bring the Ha'tak back to Mars. With another purple/blue hyperspace window, the Ha'tak began the journey back.

An hour after they left, a Goa'uld controlled Ha'tak dropped out of hyperspace. Seconds after, a Tok'ra Tel'tak arrived on scene and immediately cloaked. During that time, the Ha'tak began broadcasting a signal which the spy's heavily modified Al'kesh picked up on. Seconds later, the spy's Al'kesh had decloaked and the Ha'tak moved it aboard. The Tok'ra operative watching frowned. It wasn't often that something like this happened.

Hive mind, Decentralised, Sol system (Al'kesh escape +16 hours)

If one probed hard enough, they would have felt the strange combination of fear and excitement saturating the hive mind. Billions of minds convened to decide how to act next.

'Looks like we just ran out of time. We must assume the Goa'uld have the co-ordinates and possibly even scans of the Sol system.'

'They shouldn't have any scans. The spy just downloaded navigational data.'

'And what does the ship do to gather aweccurate navigational data?'

'…Run scans. Probably automatically.'

'Exactly.'

'Nevertheless, preparation is the key to victory. We have prepared.'

'We could be facing the might of all the system Lords. They could just overrun us with numbers.'

'Oh please, we have a much stronger industrial capacity than those snakes. All we need to do is survive the first wave and we will be the ones overrunning them with numbers.'

'Arrogance will only get us all killed! We need to reverse engineer that hyperdrive before we even think of crushing anything in a space battle!'

'Ah, I wish the Lanteans brought back the whole Atlantis database than just that fragment of it.'

'Be grateful they chose to bring back any at all. They could have just brought along personal items in those tiny backpacks of theirs but they chose to try and save some of their science. They are the only reason we still have a habitable planet to live on.'

'So… Back to the matter at hand: ships. We need more ships.'

'No we don't. We have our Antimatter drones.'

'Yes we do, but the drones will only get us so far. What happens when they station themselves outside their effective range and essentially lay siege to us?'

'That's what the existing fleet is for.'

'Those are civilian ships!'

'So? By all indications, they should be able to blow up a Ha'tak!'

'They're not battleships! There's a difference! They rely on just antimatter batteries! They don't even have a real reactor.'

'What difference? They're armed, they're shielded, they have enough energy storage to run at full power for days on a single charge and they're capable of destroying a Ha'tak! Even better, we can fill the cargo bays with antimatter drones! Besides, we have so much stuff that now needs to be rush produced: tanks, planes, new armour, weapons, supplies for our troops, heavily armed and shielded cargo carriers for our logistical needs, automated defence systems, etcetera, etcetera! We don't need to waste resources building gigantic battleships that will only be outrun by the hyperspace capable Ha'taks! What do you think the Goa'uld will try to avoid? The 150 metre long passenger transports or the big, honkin' battleships bristling with weapons? It makes less sense to build those battleships because we would need to overhaul them once we get hyperdrives! We made a mistake in our preparation! We thought we could start the fight on our own terms! We never thought they would pull a move like that! We built massive amounts of infrastructure. We have a huge industry but a very limited amount of actual, space capable military hardware! In fact, the only real anti-orbital weapons that we actually built are the large scale phaser cannons on our skyscrapers! And the only real defences we have are our city shield arrays!'

'Okay, okay, geez. You have a point. So we use the civilian ships to fight enemy ships while all the energy that we could spare is to go towards military production. Should we at least build one capital ship so we could iron out any flaws?'

'Absolutely. It's just large scale production that isn't wise.'

'In that case, we should begin reviewing performance statistics from the Starship construction game.'

'Yes, pick one that seems the best, and gather a group of people to flesh out the design into something buildable. Remember to seek for a balance between offense and defence.'

'I'm seeing a promising one. Dudley Vernon Dursley's ship is yet unbeaten. It seems to have by far the best defence of any of these ships on the database. Offense seems somewhat suboptimal but it does have a complete firing sphere around it. Never took a single scratch in the hundreds of battles it's gone through and managed each time to survive long enough to break down the enemy's shields.'

'Then you better get it ready for production. Take slip 2 of shipyard 1.'

'By the way, why exactly do we need all those new things? I understand more vehicles but armour and weapons?'

'Ah, we made some improvements in our technology from our study of the Goa'uld ship. We have studied the sarcophagus technology and have managed to link the technology back to the incomplete data we already had on the Alteran healing device. We now have enough information to build our own versions of it. According to Ra's knowledge, humans would suffer from serious adverse effects when exposed to the healing energy. We ran some tests and found that this isn't true for Terrans. Our minds and bodies are powerful enough to be exposed to the full power of the sarcophagus or up to three quarters power from the original Alteran healing device indefinitely without any adverse effects. We are integrating the technology into both our personal armour and weapons. Think of armour that helps you heal from combat damage in minutes and even resurrect you if necessary. Just make sure you don't get blown up. Oh, yes. On top of all that, we are integrating Naquadah into everything. Shield emitters, power cables, psionic conduits, neural interfaces, computing chips, etc.'

'Why?'

'Previously, we have been unable to build anything Naquadah related. It's a resource that just doesn't seem to be possible to create without it immediately exploding. Now that we have a source of it, we could replace many components with it. As of right now, we could only use about 70 percent of our total energy output as the rest gets dispersed as heat by inefficient conductors or gets used to power cooling systems for the aforementioned conductors. As you know, Naquadah is a superconductor at room temperature. By replacing every current carrying wire with a Naquadah wire, we will eliminate most of this inefficiency. By redesigning the Radiation to Energy Converters to exploit the energy capturing properties of Naquadah so that we could achieve over 99 percent efficiency. Using these new pieces of technology, we could use about 95 percent of the energy output for productive purposes.'

'Why only 95 percent? Superconductors should make it 100 percent efficient.'

'Unavoidable loss. By powering the shield arrays, we would ultimately radiate away a portion of the shield's energy due to entropy. Those losses need to be replaced constantly. We could technically shut off the shields and get our 99 percent efficiency but that is not recommended in a hostile environment.'

'I see. And the new weapons?'

'A healing mode for phasers as well as Naquadah components. It will be integrated into the new type 4 phaser models. We don't believe that the healing function will be used extensively, but it does have the capability to revive something, which is currently beyond our best psionic healing.'

'Anything new on the tanks and planes?'

'Metal folding technology. We found it in the helmets that Ra's guards use. We can fold extrusions such as gun turrets or wings down into the body so that we could fit many more in our newly designed and soon to be built carriers.'

'Ah. So everything would be packed into our new carriers with minimal free space?'

'Indeed. This is why we must work out a system to move each individual vehicle, unpack them and launch them seamlessly.'

'Why don't we just pack them all into mass storage devices?'

'Reliability. The storage devices don't need much power to maintain the pocket dimension but they do need a lot to reconstitute items. This means that if the carrier suffers from a generator failure or some kind of sneak attack, we still need to be able to deploy our vehicles. That is not to say that storage devices won't be used for reserve forces though.'

Eventually, after a minute, the meeting dispersed and the Terrans turned their attention to other subjects.

Tok'ra base, unknown planet, unknown system

The Tok'ra high council convened to discuss the events of the day.

"As you might be aware, one of our operatives has returned today with some disturbing news. Apophis had dispatched a single Ha'tak deep into Ra's space. He was personally aboard the Ha'tak so this is a very strange occurrence. We dispatched a Tel'tak to follow him. We saw him picking up a cloaked Al'kesh," Garshaw began.

"Cloaked Al'kesh?" Delek asked.

"Yes. The sensors aboard our Tel'tak failed to detect it and it only decloaked when the Ha'tak began transmitting what we believe to be a security code."

"I see. So the Goa'uld could cloak attack ships too. That is worrying."

"That is not all. The ship was not moving on its own even though it was completely intact and fully functional. This indicates some sort of weapon that is capable of destroying the pilot without affecting shields or the hull of the ship. We must work to find this weapon and if possible, capture or destroy it. Such a device in the wrong hands could dement Goa'uld leadership forever. In any case, our agent in Apophis' court has reported that something on the ship had agitated him greatly. We should endeavour to find out what and also sabotage the Al'kesh."

"I fully agree," Per'sus, the leader of the high council spoke up.

Apophis' base, unknown planet, unknown system

Apophis was agitated. He paced along the room, deep in thought. The data crystal recovered on the Al'kesh contained information that was very worrying to him. He thought it was only a secret base that Ra had wanted to keep hidden when he first received word of the unusual and sudden movement of the Ha'tak. Now, he realised it was a lot more than that. He would recognise those co-ordinates anywhere. It's where his host came from. The Tau'ri. He would never forget that set of co-ordinates. The planet had a comparably huge population even back then even by modern standards today. If Ra had recaptured it, it could boast a truly massive source of manpower and industry. It could finally be what Ra and his allies need to end the thousands of years long cold war with the other System Lords. And indeed, from the data he read, it seems that Ra had indeed recaptured it. There were now two inhabitable planets in the system, which indicated that Ra had invested considerable time and effort - probably centuries to transform the previously dead fourth planet into something that could sustain life.

Furthermore, the power signature from the first Tau'ri world was enormous. It could easily dwarf the entirety of his factory worlds combined. The second planet was more in line with a normal factory world –albeit with a Chappa'ai and a single city. Apophis believed that Ra deliberately moved the Chappa'ai to the second world to hide the main world from any visitors. The second was still quite advanced but not frightfully so like the first world. Scanning the data again, Apophis noticed a fleet of 100 or so ships about a quarter of the size of a Ha'tak spread out throughout the system. Ra is definitely preparing for a full war. It's only fortunate I managed to find this before his plans could come to fruition. I also need to replicate this Al'kesh cloak that my underling developed before his mysterious death. Mysterious death… If Ra made a weapon that could bypass shields and penetrate the hull without leaving a mark, I need to acquire it. Yes. I will send a fleet to the Tau'ri. They should be able to destroy the defence fleet and capture the weapon. Maybe I could capture the world too.

With thoughts of power and glory as well as a desire to lord over all others, Apophis went off to issue his orders. As if something just had to go wrong, he received a report that the modified Al'kesh had been destroyed.

Snape is a Terran- Snape is a half-blood. He is therefore a Terran who, like the rest, was tasked with adapting a certain persona and spying on the Wizarding world.

What if: The Terrans had the entire repository of Atlantis with them? -1281 words

The Terrans were happy with their work. The Wizarding world has successfully been exterminated after all their secrets were discovered and their biological advantages integrated into the Terran genome. The Terrans had no patience for such a petty and extremely primitive society such as the wizards, especially when said society attempts to attack them. The rage burned strong within the Terran hive mind. The need to exterminate their enemies renewed by the pitiful Wizarding world. But the Terrans knew the importance of preparation. They encased the still uninhabited Mars with a massive time dilation field. Time within the field passed many, many times faster than time outside. It seemed like an endless stream of ships were pouring out. In the time it takes to blink, dozens of ships were produced and launched. When the number reached 100,000, the entire Terran armada was deployed. As one, they activated their wormhole drives and disappeared from the Sol system, arriving at a distant world equipped with a stargate.

Over Abydos, a Terran ship appeared. Just as Ra's ship arrived for his routine inspection. Perfect. A searing green beam of light bisected the Cheops class, causing both sides to be engulfed in massive secondary explosions. Scanning the planet below, the Terrans searched for any trace of the Goa'uld. Finding none, they moved on.

Over Chulak, a Terran ship appeared. Just like with Abydos, the Terrans rapidly obliterated the defence fleet. Scanning the surface, they detected large amounts of Goa'uld and Jaffa activity. Bearing no love for the Jaffa –the race responsible for attacking their home, the Terrans conversed and dismissed any ethical obligations, stating that "If they did it to us, they are ready to take it from us too". So, without further ado, Antimatter drones flew from the ship towards the ground. Sheathed in a green energy shield, the drone shunted away the air in its path and continued unabated to the ground. Upon impact, the shield shut down, freely allowing matter and antimatter to mix and annihilate. Each 5 kilogram drone smashed into the ground and burst into over 200 megatons of destructive power. The bombardment continued until the planet was thoroughly glassed.

Over Tollan, a Terran ship appeared. Just like with the last two, the Terrans appeared near the planet. Unlike the last two, there were no ships to destroy and did not appear to be under Goa'uld control. They received a transmission.

"This is High Chancellor Travell of the Tollan Curia. You have entered our space! Please identify yourselves!"

"This is the Terran Alliance Space Command ship Relentless. We greet you, Travell and apologise for intruding on your territory. We must ask you what your relationship with the Goa'uld is."

"We do not approve of the Goa'uld."

"Then we have a common enemy. Are you willing to ally with us to end their menace forever?"

"I did not say enemy."

"Oh, so you decided to remain neutral and watch as the galaxy suffers?"

"Yes. Other, more primitive societies like yours would want to wage war. We are above that. We do not interfere in the affairs of our lowers."

"Lowers, eh? More primitive is it? You arrogant fool. You think you're the best and most advanced human society? A wise man on my planet once said: 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'. You didn't even try to fight the Goa'uld, didn't you? You were just content to let it happen as long as it didn't affect you."

"It is impossible for any society to have developed past us. In fact, if you do have anything more advanced, you must have stolen the technology from another society. Your attitude is just like that of the Goa'uld. In fact, the Curia has just agreed to this. You will surrender your ship or be destroyed. Of course, we guarantee you free passage back home via the stargate."

"Oh, really now? It sounds to me like you just want to steal Terran technology."

"I am warning you. Do not try us."

The Terrans moved the ship closer. "I'd like to see you carry out your threat."

The ion cannons on the surface fired. Blue ion bolts raced towards the Terran ship, splashing harmlessly against the shield, having failed to penetrate. Down in the Curia building, the Tollans were watching in disbelief. The communications console crackled again. "Well, it seems like you failed. As your world burns, remember this: Those who have the power to but do not intervene are equally as guilty as the perpetrator." With that, the Tollans watched in horror as what registered as hundreds of antimatter drones rained down upon the surface of their world, not stopping until every last life form was reduced to radioactive ash.

The extermination continued across the galaxy, never pausing, never failing. Any world that either supported the Goa'uld or had beings whom knew about the Goa'uld and had the power to but didn't to intervene were exterminated. Down in the Tok'ra tunnels, the survivors gathered fearfully. They already saw the pattern. Every world with even the slightest Goa'uld presence was obliterated. It wasn't long before a ship spontaneously appeared over the planet. The Lantean scanners penetrated deep into the tunnels, registering massive Goa'uld presence. Before it fired, the Tok'ra managed to send a message.

"Don't fire! We are the Tok'ra and oppose the Goa'uld!"

"Do you now? It's from my experience that all Goa'uld are bad."

"We are not Goa'uld! We have opposed them for longer than you have been alive as a society!"

"If what you say is true, did you know of the Goa'uld attack on the Tau'ri?"

A pause. "Yes. We knew of the attack on the Tau'ri. The High Council decided not to act because it wasn't worth blowing our agent's cover."

"Are you saying you sentenced a world to die for the sake of your cover?"

"No! We wanted to use this as an opportunity to turn the rest of the System Lords against Ra! It would have been for the greater good!"

"So it was just a pawn in your galactic game of chess?"

"Chess?"

"Never mind. Just to rephrase. You decided to let the attack on the Tau'ri happen because you wanted to start a war that would hopefully see the downfall of Ra?"

"Correct. It didn't work though. The Tau'ri somehow managed to throw off the attacks."

"Was that disappointment I heard in your voice? Are you actually unhappy that a world survived?"

"No, I am happy the world survived but if it hadn't and was subjugated, the Goa'uld could've fallen much sooner. Why are you asking all these questions?"

"We are the Terrans. We are of the planet Terra. Terra was formerly known as Earth… And Earth was also called the Tau'ri."

The Tok'ra at the communications console could only gape in disbelief as the antimatter drones rained down.

By the end of the year, the Goa'uld presence was completely exterminated. The Alterans watching on the higher planes munched on their astral popcorn as they observed the Terrans obliterating world after world, originally, they only destroyed worlds that could have ended the oppression in the galaxy but didn't lift a finger to help. Soon, however, they started losing themselves. More and more worlds were razed for far smaller reasons. It was a classic example of a society whose technology far out-developed their wisdom. Maybe in a few hundred years, when the galaxy is devoid of non-Terran sentient life, would they realise what tyrants they became.

"Do you think they could beat the Wraith?"

"They're both amoral enough. I'd hate to think of the consequences should they meet."
