ReVerse - Stargate SG-1 (Fanfiction) - Part 3

Sam walked back into the briefing room in brown fatigues, the other members of the SG-1 came out of General Landry's office including the General, "What happened, the video was not working again! Vala got so frustrated with your various groans and signs she threw the popcorn at the screen!" Cried the General. "I did not that was Cameron, you evil old man!" Vala shouted back. Sam held up her hands for a little quiet, "Does not matter at all, didn't you hear what Jay said about my nostrils flaring?" Sam said. Vala was the first to speak, "Yes I did wonder about that, when you and I had that thing during the Leader's birthday I didn't notice them flaring maybe..." Sam interrupted, "No! I doubt Jay realised what he said, Solar Flares! Get it Now?"

The rest of the team and the General stared back with blank looks however Vala not willing to let an thread dangle tried again, "Perhaps you were doing it wrong that night I'm normally pretty good..." This time General Landry shouted, "Quiet! Kids just simmer down and let Sam talk.  She is going to tell us how we are all saved." The General looked back at Sam with a hopeful but determined smile. "Don't you remember the mission when Jack and I got sent back to 1969, because a solar flare happened just as we stepped through the Stargate?" "Oh! That one! You've only told us the story like a million times how could we forget you mooning over Jack, Jack this, Jack that." Vala said with dripping sarcasm.  "I do not sound like! Besides its the answer to our problem, when the sun explodes we step through the Stargate and travel back in time." Sam said.

General Landry sat down on the briefing table, "Just as well I closed the Mountain and decided against telling our brave Leader about recent events.  I suggest we evacuate everyone take all the equipment we can carry.  Hold on a second just exactly how far back will we be going?"  Sam looked a little uncomfortable, "Err well its a little hard to say probably further than 1969 since it will be like a super-massive flare but if I take Solar Flare history data with us we can jump forwards if we end up too far back. I just have to find the right Gate Address so that the wormhole passes through the flare, I should have that sorted in a couple of hours." Sam replied.  "What about your Captain Lover down in the VIP room, want me to put him down for you?" Cameron asked. Sam grinned evilly, "Leave him there he will die with the rest of the planet."

Jay looked at the clock in his head the sun had just exploded, his video bug in the briefing room showed him the evacuating people hurrying through the Stargate as quickly they could. Nine minutes before the shock wave takes out the planet.  He watched as the Stargate shutdown, he exited the VIP room with no trouble whatsoever and wandered up to the briefing room.  The time was counting down in his head and by the time he reached the control room there was only a couple of minutes left. 'Time travel always takes time,' he thought as he arrived in the briefing room.

Nine seconds to go and he felt his body being squeezed as the time line change about him, down in the Gate Room the flags in the corners vanished completely.  He turned and saw the brown, white and black flag turn blue, white and red. The hideous picture of the some guy with a short mustache on the wall vanished also. The nine seconds were up, sitting round the briefing room along with General Landry who was now wearing a blue uniform were SG-1, all of them including Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.

Cameron looked up and saw Jay, "Woh! Where did you come from fella?" Cameron exclaimed to the rest of the room.  Everybody looked at Jay, he smiled.  "Sorry to appear unannounced but I have been here for the last 27 hours just in a different time line."  Jay walked over to the conference table and grinned at Sam, "It is a pleasure to see you again Sam."  Jay said.  Sam looked a little uncertain, "Have we met before? Wait you said different time line, did you get lucky?" Sam asked.  Jay took the seat next to Vala, "Well I liked to think she got lucky but she was your evil twin Sam, so I wouldn't worry too much about it." Jay replied. "And technically I just saved this solar system and your planet from an epic death by Supernova."

General Landry asked, "Would you please explain that statement not that I do not believe you but you did just appear out of thin air?" "Of course, my name is Captain Jay Scarlet a MultiVerse Agent charged with maintaining the integrity and stability of the MultiVerse.  Your Meta-Verse was in considerable danger of blinking out of existence due to an unscheduled Supernova created by an attack of the Tok'ra upon your sun."  Teal'c intoned deeply from the other end of the table, "Why would the Tok'ra attack us?" Jay breathed out and then slowly in, 'hopefully this won't take too long, I should left when I had the chance now I have to explain everything.' Jay thought.

"Okay, it is all very simple and I'm only going to explain this once.  In the other time line, your world were peopled by a bunch of fascists and they were all the same.  They were only interested in war and conquering other worlds. The Tok'ra had beat the System Lords and were technically the good guys in the galaxy. The Asgard not so good, they had made alliance with your evil alternates and were beating them so the Tok'ra came up with a desperate plan to remove enough fusion-able material from your sun to make it go Supernova.  They made a backup plan as well whereby they infected SG-9 with a nasty plague which they would have noticed if I had not adjusted the blood work results.  Everybody following so far?"

Jay continued on before anyone to could say anything, "I told evil Sam that her nostrils flared when she was aroused and she got the hint pretty much straightaway.  It was an impressive exit I can say, basically she realised that the sun going Supernova would allow them to escape through time.  It is a very imprecise method of traveling through time but if you know all the variables ahead of time which I did I could make sure they traveled to roughly the right and time. I reprogrammed their Gate computer so it would take them to only one gate address no matter what they dialed.  In this case I sent them back to several million years where they became the patient zeroes of the plague your Ancients ran into.  I can only assume when they repopulated this galaxy using the device on Dakara they adjusted it so your species to turn out a little less war like.  Didn't always want to know where that plague came from?" Jay finished.

Before anyone could speak Jay stood up winked at them and vanished.

ReVerse - Stargate SG-1 (Fanfiction) - Part 2

General Landry exploded, "Why the Hell did you not open with that?!" "You said humour you, besides you have a few hours yet." Jay replied. Vala put in sarcastically "So your here to save us are you?"  "Well actually I'm here to stop the destruction of the solar system, the fact that you live in it is completely immaterial.  Basic MVA guidelines is not to judge sentient races." Jay answered.  Sam interjected before General Landry could open his mouth, "Why does it matter if the solar system is destroyed or not if you do not care about us?"

Jay stood up, he noticed that the guards had suddenly tensed up.  He really did not like sitting down to for too long, lying down that was a different matter. "We care about the MetaVerse, your galaxy is currently passing through an unstable region of space so an unscheduled Super Nova is likely to create a rip across realities which in turn could cascade to the point that the Verse blinks out of existence entirely.  We prefer that not happen, the MultiVerse is inherently unstable and the loss of an entire MetaVerse could cause all sorts nasty problems." Jay explained whilst stretching his legs and looking down at the Gate Room.  General Landry raised his hand to quell any further comments and asked, "What exactly do you need from us?" "Well lets see, I need access to your base computer so I can determine the Gate Address that your enemies will use to remove the fusion-able material from your sun which will cause it to go Super Nova, then I can come up with a method to stop it." Jay answered.

The General smiled broadly seemingly unconcerned about his planet's impending doom, 'perhaps they will take the bait after all' thought Jay.  "Guards take our guest down to the VIP room whilst we discuss this in private." General Landry ordered.  The guards took up positions beside Jay and led him away.

"So?" General Landry said. "There are lot of holes General, how does he know that it will be 27 hours exactly, if we have not been attacked yet." Sam said, "Smells like a Tok'ra plot to me General." Cameron put in.  "Unless the attacked has already occurred but why come here to warn us?" Sam asked.  General Landry started to look worried, "Err before he appeared we had an unscheduled wormhole which ended in two impacts to the Iris.  I agree something smells fishy to me, I suppose you would like to questioned our guest further Sam." "Goody, can you get popcorn from the canteen this time General?" Vala asked with glee.  "I need to check the Sun's output to make sure there hasn't been an attack that will take about an hour and then I can have some fun." Sam replied with a sly grin upon her face. "Excellent, I will inform our glorious leader of recent events, see you all in an hour." General said.

Meanwhile in the VIP room, Jay sat crossed legged on a four poster bed with velvet curtains.  There were number of lock cupboards about the room.  A quick check of the room Jay had discovered audio and visual bugs, he disabled the video only.  He had left a couple of bugs of his own in the briefing room, completely undetectable by their level of tech.  He had caught the tale of end their conversation and knew that he had an hour to get the information required to complete his mission.

Accessing the base computer was as easy as PI and upon scanning through the mission reports Jay discovered not only were the Tok'ra the sworn enemies of the SGC but the Asgard were quite a bit different to what he had been led to believe by his fellow agents.  This is the base reality as well where all other realities are derived from another reason why the mission needed to be completed. 

The most recent mission report was of considerable interest to Jay, it would appear that the Tok'ra wanted to make sure that none of the Earthlings would escape.  He adjusted Captain Jones's blood work results so that the head Doctor on base would not see the obvious until it was way too late.  The Gate Address proved to be a little more difficult fortunately he knew exactly where the Earth would be in less than 27 hours, he reprogrammed the Gate computer to only go one place.  The nature of ascended beings in his galaxy also gave him some pause and yet they have not yet interfered.

The door to VIP room opened and in walked a very beautiful women in a red velvet dress matching the bed's curtains, "Nice entrance Sam. " Jay said taking in the excellent view.  Sam closed the door and locked it.  "You lied!" Sam said quite calmly whilst showing a little leg.  'It is a curious method of seduction I will give you that.' Jay thought.  "Really which bit?" he asked. "They have already attacked us, but you told the truth about the time scale." Sam said moving towards the bed.  "I never said they hadn't attacked you yet, so why are you here? Wanted to go out with bang?"  Sam was now sitting beside him her hands in potentially painful places should she decide he wasn't being truthful.

Jay applied his considerable charm and a little bit of hormone which should be used in only the most dire circumstances according MVA rules well technically it is more of a guideline really.  45 minutes later, Sam signed in extreme pleasure as the man between her legs delved deep unearthing a version of herself she had never met.  Her ambition for the leadership seemed pointless and the impending destruction of planet seemed completely immaterial.  Jay came up and looked into her eyes, "Did you know your nostrils really flare up when your pleasured?" Sam looked back at Jay and realised that he was giving her a way out.  She smiled quite evilly back at him, pushing him aside she jumped off the bed completely naked. "Goodbye, we will shall not see each other again."  Sam left and Jay grinned to himself.

ReVerse - Stargate SG-1 (Fanfiction) - Part 1

"Unscheduled Off World Activation, General Landry to the Control Room." Walter said into the microphone in front of him.  He placed his hand on the scanner to activate and close the Iris protecting the Gate Room from any unwelcome visitors.  These days most of the visitors were unwelcome. "I'm here Walter, no need to send a search party." General Landry said from behind Walter.  "I thought you had gone to lunch sir." replied Walter.  At that moment two loud bangs were heard so loud in fact that the glass between the Control Room and the Gate Room visibly wobbled in its frame. "Walter what was that?" General Landry asked, "I'm not sure sir, according to the sensors on the Iris there were two impacts." replied Walter.

The lights in the Control Room started dim and then flicker, the wormhole disengaged from the Stargate.  "Well the Enemy was at..." General Landry started say when all the lights went off.  "Wormhole disengaged General." Walter put in, "I am aware of that Walter why do you always tell me things that just happened, why are the lights off?" General Landry asked in an annoyed voice.  "Looks we have a massive power drain on all systems sir." Walter answered avoiding the first question.  "Hell, get Carter up here.  Probably best to get all of the SG-1 up here on the double.  Wait a second what is that red shimmer just in front of Stargate, do you seen that?" Walter looked down at the Stargate and there was an shimmer as the General said like you would see on a hot day, he could also make out hints of black and white.

Major Samantha Carter came into the Control Room, "What's happening?" she asked in an amazingly innocent but intelligent voice.  Before General Landry could answer, the lights came on and standing on the gantry walk way to the Stargate there appeared to be a man standing there. Wearing a red shirt, black leather trousers, black waistcoat, dark red wide brimmed hat and some curious white shoes. "Well he looks interesting." Sam said.  General Landry and Walter looked at each other with a knowing look.

Jay looked about the Gate Room and noticed the flags in each of the corners. 'Well that's different, its going to be one of those missions,' he thought.  He turned his attention to the men in green camo fatigues, "Really guys, why are you wearing green in what appears to be a concrete underground complex?" Jay said.  The men just stared at him with their guns pointed at him.  "Okay I've always wanted to say this.  Take me to your leader."  General Landry's voice boomed into the Gate Room, "Check him for weapons and then bring him to briefing room."

Back in the Control Room General Landry turned to Sam, "Get the rest of the team up here on the double, lets find out who this man is.  Maybe you will get to play with him later." General gave Sam a wink.

Jay was escorted into the briefing room, he noticed the added decorations on the wall plus the brown, white and black flag in the corner. 'Nothing is ever easy with these missions,' he thought.  General Landry and Major Samantha Carter were sat at the conference table, "Just who are you meant to be young man?" General Landry asked.  'Young man! Oh! If only he knew.' Jay rolled his eyes at the comment. "Well I see one of the SG-1 team but where are the rest?  I do hate to repeat myself.  We should wait.  Perhaps you can tell me why the brown uniforms?" Jay said in deep voice but quiet voice that seem to bounce round the room. 'No harm in applying a little extra charisma, they need to trust me after all.' Jay reasoned.  Both the General and Major looked confused at his question so Jay let it drop for the time being.

There was a brief wait then Cameron Mitchell and Vala Mal Doran entered the room. "Now all the team is present, it is time you told us who you are.  My patience is wearing thin!" General Landry said with obvious annoyance. "But where is Daniel Jackson and Teal'C?" Jay said.  Cameron interjected before the General could speak, "Never heard of those two, who are they?"  Jay thought for a moment, 'I need more information, lets see where we are shall we.' "Daniel Jackson is an archaeologist with glasses and allergies, Teal'C a Jaffa warrior.  Not ringing any bells?" Jay asked.  Cameron looked absolutely aghast at the mention of a Jaffa, "Not members of my team.  Now answer the General's question."

'Oh Well! I best take the plunge, hopefully it will all work out in the end.  It normally does.' Jay thought.  "I am Captain Jay Scarlet at your service, it is my first time in your Verse and I must admit it is a bit different to what I heard." Sam jumped in, "Verse?" "Universe my dear lady, the other MVAs gave me a much different picture, very curious indeed." General Landry finally got a word in, "MVAs?" "MultiVerse Agent General, now we done the basics perhaps we can get on with why I am here." Jay said. "Back up a bit, what exactly is a Multiverse agent?" General asked.  "Really General there bigger issues at stake." Jay replied.  "Humour us!" the General intoned back.

"Fine!  Have you met ascended beings yet?" Jay asked with a boring look upon his extremely handsome yet boyish face his blue eyes starring deep into Sam's. Cameron answered, "Yes we have but what has..." Jay cut him off and continued, "Okay so ascended beings normally come in two flavours. Either they are a self-righteous bunch that think the lower physical planes have nothing to do with them or you have the Evil ones that think because they've ascended therefore they should be treated as Gods and worshiped by the lower planes.  Judging by delayed arrival I would say the ones in this galaxy don't like not knowing who I am.  Now there are planes of existence well above these beings who think they know everything but they have barely scratched the surface of existence." Sam interrupted this time, "Your talking about alternate realities." 'Such a pretty face too what a shame.' Jay thought.

"No not alternate realities.  There are different Meta-Verses each with their own set of physical laws and each Meta-Verse is host to an infinite number of alternate realities.  In planes well above your ascending beings are well things you would not them to notice anyone down here on the physical planes.  And right at the top are the TPTB."  For the first time Vala joined the conversation which was unusual since she normally does not stop talking, "TPTB?"  "The Powers That Be, at least that is what most of us agents call them.  They recruited me from the first Meta-Verse, well that is to be proven no actual direct evidence other than the time-dilation." Jay said.  General Landry was obviously getting annoyed, "What the Hell are you talking about!' he practically shouted from the other end of the conference table.  "Easy General, relax.  It is quite simple really in my home Verse time runs very slowly compared to all the Verses.  One second at home is like a thousand years anywhere else.  That's where most of MVAs come from,  so are we all up to speed with what a MVA is?" Jay said with a cheeky smile mostly aimed at Sam.

"No, but it will have to do for now.  Why are you here?" General Landry said with an obvious lack of calm.  "To stop your solar system from being destroyed, it will happen err, what time is it now?" Jay asked, Sam replied, "17:00hrs."  "Well that is fortunate, your doom will befall you in 27 hours exactly." Jay said.

The Keeper - Star Trek Discovery (Fanfiction x/o)



The Keeper stared at the the incoming shuttle craft not with his eyes but with his mind, Talosian's long ago lost certain physical attributes when they attained their abilities with their minds. His eyes worked well enough on short distances, his mind however could see great distances across the galaxy and the rest of the universe.

He saw the Vulcan Spock and his sister Michael within the shuttle, Spock's mind is in chaos and Michael is determined to save him at whatever cost.  Her guilt of driving him away drives her onward, the mystery of the Red Angels is foremost within her mind and yet unsure of it means for Spock.

The Keeper and his fellow Talosians have been of aware the 'Red' signals as the humans called them but they have been unable to determine their origin within the universe.  The time anomaly that the Starfleet vessel Discovery has recently encountered would suggest that the Red Angel is from the future which is why they have been unable to discover their origins.

Despite their significant abilities to use their minds to travel the far reaches of space without actually moving from Talos IV, the ability to see the future has always alluded them.  Several attempts have been made all have ended with disastrous results for the sender.

It was obvious to the Talosians that the Red Angel was changing events to create some sort of advantage in the future, their intentions so far appear to be good but The Keeper remembered something Captain Pike had in his mind when they first met about good intentions.  It worried The Keeper that he could not remember with clarity what Captain Pike thought.  This was unusual normally their memories are perfect they do not forget anything.

The Keeper had considered talking with the entities known simply as the 'M', in the past one of their number have been receptive to the Talosian's thought patterns.   M9 is not considered to typical of his species a little more curious than most.  The 'M' have been around since before the birth of this universe, M9 explained in broad strokes that the previous universe had been destroyed by a single humanoid using six tools beyond his understanding.

The destruction of the previous universe left many of the 'M' destroyed in attempting to save it.  With limited resources the 'M' recruited another species to help with maintaining a balance within the newly formed universe.  This species had already managed to leave their physical bodies behind and ascend to a new plane of existence.  They later became known as the Q continuum and at some point the 'M' and 'Q' had a falling out over how best to maintain balance although The Keeper believed that M9 left out much of the story relating to their disagreement.

M9 had told the Taolsians that travel through time contained huge risks not just to the traveler but to everything else within universe.  The 'M' and the 'Q' rarely visited the physical planes of the universe since their responsibilities kept them on the higher planes of existence but because of the previous incident the 'M' kept a single agent in the physical planes at all times.

The shuttle craft edged closed towards Talos IV, such a slow method travel.  The Keeper consulted with his fellow Talosians and it was decided that M9 was probably already aware of the Red Angel.  They would allow the shuttle craft to land, it was obvious to all Spock needed their help to clear the chaos from his mind.  A Vulcan in a human mind of the same body will always create receptors capable of accessing far beyond what is known.  Vulcan training normally limits such abilities in the most receptive.

It is clear to The Keeper Spock needs his path cleared however what will Starfleet do when they discover Spock's whereabouts.  Perhaps then M9 will be of some help.
