Elizabeth

Elizabeth looked around the room. "I'm not a God, and I don't want your faith. I want your help. I know I'm asking a lot of everyone here, and this isn't the way I wanted to do things. I just was left with little choice, if I didn't act when I had the chance then the first time you all would have seen Anubis was when he was invading your home. There was a reason I was drawn to all your respective universes, and that is cause there is power there. Power that Anubis will see as a threat, and something he can add to his own wealth of power. I do not ask for you to serve me by faith for I do not believe I am God, but Anubis does-" She looked directly at Eri. "-and should he get to you first he will force you to servitude or death with powers that even the Swords of Sanghellios cannot withstand." She sighed as she surveyed the general feeling around the room. It seemed that they were leaning in the direction of helping to take down Anubis, whatever it was that that entailed. One thing was for sure, this Universe would never be the same again.

Caldwell looked around the room and nodded. "The Daedalus is in. We know just what kind of threat Anubis poses and we're going to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't get the chance to wipe out all life or conquer an entire Galaxy. Whatever his plan is this time." He tipped his head in McKays direction, before facing Eri. "I'm sure Doctor McKay would be more than willing to take a look at your ships engines. From the sensor readings they appear to be a similar technology to our own, should your-" He looked to Sheppard for the correct title.

"Shipmaster."

"-Shipmaster allow it." Caldwell nodded at what the UNSC Admiral had said. "The Admiral has a point. Most of us here-" He scowled at Robotnik. "-are military. We follow a chain of command, and are at the top of it for our respective ships. Now, we wouldn't be butting heads if we had been getting orders. We need to form some form of a structure if we plan on doing this thing. Now, I'm smart enough to know I don't have the kind of experience to be the one to lead a fleet. Which is why I'd recommend the Resurgence or Aegis, should Shipmaster Falul decide to help, should carry the flag."

@Sep So, uh.

The Second Chance definitely now has a cult worshiping Elizabeth.

Although the majority of Commonwealth society is atheist, when the Second Chance got saved from certain annihilation during The Transference, a few people started believing in god again. As far as the firmly-atheist Capt. Tu Lee is concerned, they're mostly a strange curiosity. And then the god just showed herself during a meeting.

Definitely the Cult of Elizabeth is a Thing now, irrespective of Elizabeth wanting it to be a Thing.

I think one of my random security grunts is going to become a prophet.

Capt. Lee, of course, thinks this is all a load of nonsense, and all anyone is doing is worshiping a more-advanced alien. Which is absurd.

...I like this.

@Queen Raidne

So if Elizabeth is God, I guess Anubis is the devil?

Elizabeth turned directly to Eri. "Yes." She seemed unmoved by the Sanghellis verbal assault, she had been a diplomat for years after all before running the SGC for a period of time as well as Atlantis. "I plan to atone for my sins, in fact once I return all of you home, I shall too return home and be punished for my actions. For I acted far rasher than any of the Others deems suitable. I can, however, assure you that while I do not know how the coming conflict will end but once it has ended I can return you and your people back to where you were before all of this happened, at the exact same time you left. Except you'll likely be a far better ship when you return as to when you left your home universe."

She looked around the room. "I realise none of this is ideal, however, Anubis presents a very real threat. Not just to the people of my Universe, or this one. If he gathers the resources of this Universe and is left unchecked he will have the power to move from universe to universe conquering one world after the next." She sighed as she hung her head. "Though. Freedom of choice is something I value. Have a vote, should you desire to return home you can build your devices or whatever it is you need and I can distract Anubis long enough for you to escape."

She turned directly to Eri. "I hold no secrets from you, all my cards are on the table. I just ask that you help tackle an impending threat."

@mattmanganon He shows up in S4 of SG-1 I believe, again in S6 and then becomes a season regular on Atlantis. All the characters I'm playing are canon characters, which is why even little posts take me a while. Gotta nail the portrayal.

@Sep Bit of a weird argument. "Maybe you aren't the smartest one in the room, considering that you can't tell the difference between Interdimensional and Interuniversal travel."

The tempted response is "Interdimensional bridges designed and built by Eggman? 5. Time Machines invented by Eggman? 2. Interdimensional bridges/Time Machines designed and built by literally anyone else in this room...? Anyone...?"

@mattmanganon

I mean this is an IC thing, not an OOC thing?

I mean McKay does build an engine to cross between realities... eventually. He just hasn't done it yet. As far as McKay knows with the talk about interdimensional he's boasting some form of cloak/out of phase technology.

MEETING ROOM // RESURGENCE

As the various peoples discussed what they were going to do the lights flickered. Not just in the meeting room but all over the ship. Everything was affected from navigation down to the electronics that existed within the Spartans armour or the more complicated electronics within the Eris covenant weaponry. "I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that Doctor Robotnik." The figure walked out of the corner where there had previously been no-one, she seemed to neglect the weapons raised at her. The team from the Daedalus reacted first, with Sheppard standing up.

"Elizabeth?"

"Yes, but not your one John." She walked straight through a chair, her body glowing with white light as it passed through before she took a seat at the table.

"You're right on a couple of accounts. Yes, I brought you all here, yes I also brought you all here to deal with Anubis. He can't be beaten by conventional means." She turned to face the crew from the Daedalus directly. "Anubis is far more powerful here than he ever was in our universe. Without the others to keep him in check he's able to use the abilities the same as any other ascended being. With beings already worshiping he seems to be gaining power, the more who worship him the more power he has." She turned to the Eggman again. "He's also anticipated interference from the others, after all, it is due to them that this is evening happening. The only reason he hasn't used his abilities to take over the Galaxy already is because he's shifting a lot of his focus and power to preventing the Others from crossing over. Which is why you were all dragged here without warning, there was no time and I had to act fast." She surveyed the room. "Please take no offence, but your vessels aren't all necessarily the ones that were the intended targets."

She sighed. "The only way for you to get home is to defeat Anubis."

McKay wasn't sure whether he wanted to grin or look sombre at the idea that he was right. The idea that they couldn't get back because of something Anubis was consciously doing made it all the more difficult. Instead, he turned to Eggman. "Doctor I wouldn't call yourself the smartest person in the room when you're struggling with the difference between inter-dimensional and inter-universal travel." He sighed. "Our best way is figuring out between us a way to take on Anubis, and if he's on this fortified world then we need a way to get to him, or lure him out."

Sheppard nodded as he was the next one to speak up. "We can always perform some recon, our jumper cloaks. We can jump in, drop it off and have it fly down the surface with a small ground team to check out the city."

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

McKay turned to Eri. "Anubis isn't an ordinary being." He looked to Sheppard for help who simply shrugged, and he shot him a dirty look. "Okay, so where we come from, thousands of years ago a race we call the Ancients learnt how to shed their physical bodies and become beings of pure energy, granting them immense knowledge and power. For all extensive purposes, it made them gods. Anubis managed to trick one of these beings into aiding him to ascend. He gained all their knowledge, advanced technologies the likes of which he couldn't have imagined and ways to conquer the Galaxy unhindered. However, the Ancients stopped him and kind of returned him to a halfway point between regular being and ascended being. He still held a lot of their knowledge and had some level of access to his ascended abilities making him a formidable foe, and unkillable in every sense of the word. Our working theory-" He nodded to Caldwell and Sheppard.

"-Is that somehow Anubis made his way into this universe, like some form of an inter-universal virus. We also believe that our ascended Ancients sent us here as the anti-body. We need to find the reason why we got brought here, this is the only thing that makes sense. His presence here is a massive bullseye, we can try getting our own way back. I'm sure I can figure it out, but I think we'll just get sent back here."

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

Caldwell indicated for Rodney to start first. Rodney stood up as a hologram appeared above the table they were all sat up. Relayed from the Daedalus it showed the inner workings of several of the alien technologies they had encountered so far in this galaxy. Then two comparison screens were brought side by side, one of the turbolaser turret from the Resurgence and one from one of the new Assimilator class ships. "Here we have a comparison between the guns on the Resurgence which are roughly twenty to thirty years in advance of the galaxy we are currently in-" The other diagram highlighted. "-and yet the new technology that the Empire is building for their new vessels is far superior and more advanced than anything that this ship possesses. On examining the technology we discovered crystalline technology, far in advance to anything anyone in this Galaxy uses or has ever used."

An image of a crystal was brought up. A comparison crystal was brought alongside it, that of a Lantean control crystal. "As you can see this crystal is very similar to the technology that the race we know as the Ancients used, however, there ware some key important differences. A flavour of another type of technology of another race we know. A race that is known as the Goa'uld."

Sheppard spoke up next. "Basically, we know why we're here. There's a Goa'uld in this Galaxy giving technology to Palpatine, probably manipulating him. A Goa'uld called Anubis, and he's bad news."

Caldwell nodded in agreement. "We're going to have to stop him."

DERELICT BUILDING // CITY SLUMS

William shook his head as the information came at him fast and hard. Apparently, the ghostly figure had been seen by everyone, and not only that it had actually appeared on Lornes system. That spoke highly of the figures hacking capabilities. Lorne was notoriously hard to hack. From what he had been told trying to hack Lorne was nigh impossible as when trying to break through firewalls they were virtually re-written around your attack. Not that he had ever tried, he could barely file a report using a system designed for filing reports. He liked to think that it was as much the fault of the system as his.

Taylor confessed that 'it' was probably the best turn of phrase, wasn't going to be leaving his side out of some form of debt. Ratman was busy asking him what the next objective was. He stood up, his entire body objecting. "You all think you're so clever. If you want to go uncovering a mystery you find out who this watcher is. He obviously knows something and has abilities of some description. You want to know what's going on, ask him or ask Lorne." He waved his hand in their direction. "Don't ask me. I've already lost everything to Lorne. I'd rather live with what I have left until some MPD officer puts a bullet in my head."

AR-1 // RESURGENCE

Colonel Caldwell walked in with Sheppard and McKay, they had briefed Erthos on the situation coming to the agreement that they would be the ones to tell everyone. It looked like they would need to stay here to deal with a problem after all. The only issue was that still left the mystery of who brought them here, and if solving the problem would let them return home. Walking in between the discussion between Eri and the Admiral he had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Ofcourse they had to have come from different times. It would have made things too easy if they had both come from a time where everyone was friendly and allies.

Caldwell sat in one of the regular-sized chairs available, flanked by Rodney and Sheppard on either side. Sitting up straight he nodded towards Eri, in the way of a formal greeting as he wasn't entirely sure if she held rank or if she should just be referred too as Eri and did not wish to offend. "Good to see you again." He then passed his way around the room, offering greetings to Yiithren before turning to the newcomers to the little ragtag fleet they had going on. While he had communicated with them via ship-comms he hadn't actually met the newcomers face to face yet. "Welcome to our little fleet. I'm Colonel Caldwell of the Earth Ship Daedalus, this is Lieutenant Colonel Sheppard and Doctor McKay. Who some of you have already met."
