DAEDALUS AWAY TEAM 1 // IMMACULATE AEGIS // FLEET SPACE

McKay let the weird gargantuan thing shake his hand as soon another floating alien came in. It seemed weirdly peaceful, and part of him wondered why it was under armed guard. He shook his head as he turned to the 'primer'. Something that he could have done with better earlier, that said their slipspace theory seemed remarkably similar to their concept of hyperspace. They were both dimensions existing outside of normal space, entering which allowed them to cross vast distances in far less time than you could in normal space. They just entered it slightly differently. While the process of opening a hyperspace window was effortless, with the drive designed to help navigate hyperspace and move them along their course. The Aegis instead bore a whole into slipspace, before more or less following the natural flow that existed within slipspace.

"I'm going to need some time to go over these schematics-" He held up the tablet. "-I am seeing some similarities to our own hyperspace technology, and from what I can tell given my immediate glances your people-" he nodded at the Sangheili "-built these drives in a similar way to how we made ours, by reverse engineering alien technology more advanced than our own." McKay continued to scroll through the feed as he looked up, finally, curiosity getting the better of him. "Okay, your shipmaster said that those things existed, but what are they? They don't really fit in, they're floating tentacle things-" He turned to Strevlos. "-No offence, they just don't fit with the rest of the biological appearances going on here, and why the armed guard? Is it hostile, or just precious?"

The Tower Chapter 1: A New Dawn

William looked around the clinic. How this place hadn't been looted and razed yet was beyond him. He supposed it was likely one of the few buildings in the quarter with anything resembling security that gave people pause. He was learning more and more about their mysterious benefactor that was recruiting allies, however. Small victories. He sat down in a nearby chair, letting his head fall back.

"What does it remind you of Taylor?" He was putting off answering the questions, he knew the escape had caused more damage than previously expected, the bullet wound likely hadn't helped nor had the oxygen deprivation or the overuse of powers which none of them truly understood. Taylor cared for him, but what it didn't seem to understand was a simple fact.

He didn't want saving.

The Tower Chapter 1: A New Dawn

I apologise for not being as active as I should have been. My work schedule has been pretty hectic but it will be calming down shortly (which is good and bad).

DAEDALUS AWAY TEAM 1 // IMMACULATE AEGIS // FLEET SPACE

McKay didn't mind the nice clean, almost ornamental halls. They seemed nice, apparently, the Sangheili had been part of some holy war on behalf of another species which had controlled them. Much the same as the Goa'uld and the Jaffa. It was a shame they didn't have a Jaffa aboard who could relate to these people easily, the closest thing they had to an honour based warrior was perhaps Ronon. Not that Ronon was a very diplomatic soul and really he was only here as they were still somewhat hesitant of the Sangheili. The majority of times an SG team made contact with an alien non-human race they turned out to be hostile. So he had a team with him just in case something went horribly wrong.

The energy lift thing wasn't fun. Flying through thin air at speeds with the ground looming below him. If the system failed he was pretty much done for. He had voiced his thoughts at the time to nothing but rolled eyes and assurances that he would be fine. Either that or he could have walked, something he wasn't interested in either. The part of him that had become used to getting into fights with aliens noted that you could easily fit a Jumper down these corridors. Which would be useful if they ever had to fight similar vessels. As they reached the lab he wasn't so surprised to see the Sangheili wearing hides, though he had to question whether or not someone wearing animal skin was going to be productive to their conversations, he was more surprised by the human he was greeted with. He walked in and looked around at the equipment, some of it alien while some of it was distinctly human. From everything he had seen from the other vessel and in this lab humans from their universe were easily a hundred years more advanced than back at home, perhaps two and likely was their evolutionary path had the Stargate not been uncovered.

Maybe the Covenant was the evolutionary path that the Goa'uld were on before their downfall.

Rodney extended his hand. "Doctor Rodney McKay, I'm here to see if I can spruce up your hyperdrive a bit. Afterwhich Colonel Caldwell, the commanding officer of the Daedalus, has allowed me to invite you back there to take a look at our ship. It's only fair after all."

HERMIOD // SHIPYARD // FLEET SPACE

Hermiod sat in the main control room. Readouts on various screens, their power output, resources collected, predicted collection and what was necessary in order to build a variety of different vessels. It had taken time to bring all the systems online, by all estimates within one week they would be able to build a vessel to the maximum size that this facility could manage. It was an impressive feat of engineering, however much like the humans from Earth it seemed oddly advanced in some areas while weaker in others. It was almost as if something dramatically launched them into the space age and gained technologies along the way. Doctor Robotnik had already petitioned for the creation of a factory that would allow him to construct robotic units however as of yet Hermiod had stonewalled him, this vessel and the resources provided were for the fleet. The collectors that were out in the asteroid belt were all piloted by Unnogy from the Aegis so he felt it prudent that if anyone was to benefit from the shipyard as a single vessel then it should be the Sangheili vessel first.

So far the only vessels they had constructed were a series of defence platforms which he had scattered throughout the belt, along with sensor beacons and relays capable of detecting vessels in hyperspace and systems away. If anyone were to come towards them they would soon know about it. Hermiod sighed as he turned to another console where he was working on the new problem. The problem of Anubis.

DAEDALUS AWAY TEAM 2 // GLASGOW // CORUSCANT

John had enjoyed the time aboard the Glasgow. Being the Doppelganger of an intergalactic space hero had its perks, one of the 'N7' operatives had even let him don their armour for a photo op. If he had been paid ten dollars per picture he would have been a wealthy man. It didn't bother him much, he had enjoyed the moment of fame. So often due to the work they did being classified nobody knew how many times they had gone out and saved the day, he never wanted recognition for it. Though it would have been nice, once they were back in their home universe it would be nice to know that a Sheppard out there was appreciated. The cloaked jumper launched from the Glasgow after it was through the atmosphere, and he wasn't sure what he was expecting but it wasn't this. He immediately sat up in his chair as he was confronted with buildings that reached to the sky, some even as far as low orbit with their own landing platforms. Traffic went in every direction as he bobbed and waved through the spacecraft that couldn't even see him. He regretted not leaving the Glasgows hangar until they were much lower.

In the craft were a variety of personnel from the various ships going on this mission. Deciding to pool their resources and expertise into mixed teams. The Marines staying behind to guard the Glasgow if needed, while Teyla was on a team that would go to the local markets to gather what information they had there. He looked down to his arm where the new Omnitool rested. He still wasn't familiar with it which was why he was glad Sarah Wilkes was aboard. One of the N7 operatives that these people coveted and from what he had been able to gather, rightly so.

Their mission sounded simple on paper, infiltrate the former Jedi Temple. Find out if the 'recall' order sent to Jedi vessels had been changed to one warning them away yet, if not do so. That was at the request of Erthos. There was also a vault of old relics that were apparently immensely powerful, and a library of 'holocrons' which were apparently great halls of information that was older than the Republic had been. Secondary objectives, plant explosives in the main tower. Apparently in a final middle-finger to his enemies, Palpatine would turn this building into the Imperial Palace. If they set explosives in the tower, when Palpatine moved in they'd have him on a trigger. It'd be far easier to kill, and get to Anubis, if Palpatine was out of the way.

DAEDALUS // THE FLEET

Rodney McKay was pouring through data from the shipyard. They had managed to activate a number of 'resource collectors' that seemed to fly around gathering resources which then were converted into some form of energy to later be used in great big forges. There were a couple of blueprints in the ship's databanks however they had decided to wait until they knew more about the specifications before building anything. Afterall there was no point building anything until they knew if it needed to be upgraded, which from their initial reports seemed to be the case. After all the designs had no shielding, except for something called a 'defence field frigate' but from what he and Hermiod had surmised so far was that the field only protected against energy bolts by way of creating some form of interference. A valuable technology however it wasn't much in comparison to Asgard shields. Hermiod was currently on the bridge of the Shipyard with a team of marines helping to co-ordinate their efforts. He had seemed insistent on going there so that he didn't need to interact with the crew of the Va. For some unknown reason, Hermiod after reading their file seemed unwillingy to have anything to do with them.

Rodney climbed into the Jumper full of their team as well as a contingent of marines. Nodding at Sheppard, who had a surprisingly smug look on his face. "What?"

"Oh, nothing." Rodney turned to Ronon with a raised eyebrow.

"Turns out in the Glasgows universe they have a John Sheppard that looks just like him. He's some kind of hero of humanity."

Rodney rolled his eyes. "You realise that wasn't you right?"

"Yes. I know Rodney. I just find it interesting that I exist in another universe, and still somehow manage to be an intergalactic space hero."

"Yes, I'm sure their Sheppard has a tiny ego too."

The Jumper raised from the deck and manoeuvred out of the hangar towards the Aegis. The console trilled as they received docking instructions, the jumper moving carefully into the massive bay before eventually setting down. As the door opened Rodney, Ronon and a couple of marines all stood up and walked out. Rodney turned back to the ship as it took off, tapping his radio. "Try not to have too much fun on your adventures Sheppard."

"Oh. I will." Rodney just smiled as the Jumper departed for the Glasgow, part of their contingent aboard on the scouting mission it was performing to Coruscant. The supposed heart of the Empire. He had been sceptical of the plan to go to the capital, but apparently it was some form of megacity world where thousands of ships and billions of beings came and went every day. So he liked their chances.

William scoffed. "Okay, fine but I'm going to grab a drink on the way there at the very least." He started walking towards the door before realising he wasn't entirely sure where they were going. "Is someone going to lead the way?" He stood to the side of the door in order to let someone else go before them. He turned to the floating lady whose brother owned the clinic they were supposedly going too.

"So what's your deal, I understand Taylors reasoning for helping us out, but what are you after?" There was something unsettling about her, something he didn't quite trust. Maybe it was her abilities were an unknown to him, he understood that Taylor somehow absorbed energy which it could then redistribute. Whereas this lady? She could fly and create balls of light, what exactly she could do was an unknown and he didn't like unknowns. Never had, and didn't now. Especially these days when there was a mysterious figure sticking its nose in their lives. He had to be careful so that they knew what was going on.

@Enalais the Terran ship never left by way of Elizabeth it just did this



and went off on its own. Retconned its vanishing act.

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

We're likely gearing up for another timeskip. It feels like a natural progression, we usually skip all this stuff in TV Shows/movies/books anyway. We've covered the important stuff, we don't need to worry about the mundane.

If there are any questions feel free to ask. I know some of you have been unwell or unavailable and that is perfectly okay. There will still be a place for you here, by my side.

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

Elizabeth

Elizabeth turned to Robotnik with a sigh. "As the others have already indicated. There is no such thing as Chaos Emeralds in this universe. Mobius is not a world that exists here, it is not lost nor unlost. It simply does not exist. Should you wish to destroy a planet you will have to find other more localised means, not that I recommend blowing up a planet." She threw a wink at Rodney as she said that, or at least he could have sworn she winked at him. "What I do have is something that could help with many of the issues you are currently having. It's a ship, with technology that will solve your modification issues of other vessels as well as producing strikecraft, frigates, corvettes, cruisers. Anything up to three thousand feet in length."

Outside there was a disturbance as a blue rectangle opened out of nothing. It pulled backwards to slowly show a ship floating in space. Any immediate sensor readings would show it as having no discernable lifesigns aboard and it would make no moves, no attempts at communication or any movement at all. Once the rectangle passed the end of the ship it closed again.

"It was recently constructed in its home universe, and as such it has no crew. It has the ability to construct ships of varying designs and I am sure you could likely program it to build ships of your designs once you have a resource operation going. From what I have been able to determine they use a complex method of molecular physics to break down even the most useless of materials in order to turn them into workable materials to construct vessels. It will likely be meant to have a large crew complement however I am sure between all your vessels you can likely find people to crew it."

Elizabeth to Eri. "It also has the unique ability to open up hyperspace windows for other vessels even those larger than it. While it doesn't have the range that your vessel currently has it does have greater speed. Now all you need is somewhere to put it." She turned to Erthos. "Perhaps a nice asteroid belt with lots of resources?"

Her body started to grow, taking a solid shape shortly afterwards. A look of concentration crossing over her face. "I have stayed still too long, Anubis is trying to track me." Her whole body turned to light, her voice becoming ethereal as her face appeared to float in the glow of the light. "You have the building blocks for all you need. The next move is yours. Though a move must be made. When I re-appear I may be able to get you all one thing of which you need. Though only one thing from one universe. So you must choose wisely-[/i] with that she vanished. Power returning to the ship.

Caldwell stood up. "I have a plan of action." He turned and nodded to the Glasgow Delegates. "The Glasgow has a hyperdrive from this universe, and Anubis won't recognise it as easily as our ship. I believe they should take representatives from each of our vessels on a fact-finding mission. I'll even lend Colonel Sheppard and the cloaked jumper." Sheppard seemed surprised by this, however, bit his tongue. This wasn't Elizabeth he was with right now, where he still had power over military decisions. This was Caldwells command. "While this is happening McKay will assist the Aegis in adjusting her FTL systems so she can keep pace with the fleet, and Erthos can assign tasks for other vessels in the fleet." He turned to face Erthos.

"If we need to fit Anubis to either take him out or distract him enough that he lets his guard down letting the other Ascended come to teach him a lesson, then we're going to need more ships and more personnel. I know this is early in the Empires timeline but you've mentioned Separatists, you've mentioned Rebels. I even read in your files something about Mandalorian Clans. It makes sense that you give out objectives for our other ships, you know their capabilities and what we could be of use doing." He looked around the room. "I also feel as if we should all have a contingent on our new vessel."

The Tower Chapter 1: A New Dawn

William scoffed as he backed away from Taylor, and then the lady that apparently 'had to go before morning'. What, she a scheduling conflict or something? "Look. I'm fine, they aren't tracking me. They performed surgery on me because I was shot. I'm actually kind of glad they decided to take out the bullet and do repairs. Besides no offence, but you don't even have real arms, hands or fingers and yet you want to perform complex surgery on me?"

He limped towards the door after the path Ratman had made. "No. I'm going for a drink."
