Ch.134

I took John and Sam back to the city ship Sanctuary where I synchronized the Lantean satellite network in the Milky Way Galaxy to monitor all goa'uld worlds and ships. Their specific energy frequency and that of their primal ancestors were recorded so all goa'uld in the Milky Way began popping up on the map with or without hosts. Sam said we had a lot of work ahead of us when she saw the thousands of worlds while three worlds in one solar system were their home worlds.

John asked why three days and I told him. "So that the Tok'ra and free Jaffa can be informed as well. The Tok'ra will be asked to return to their bases so none are mistaken for goa'uld while the free Jaffa will be given the option to rid themselves of the goa'uld or given Tok'ra symbiotes so that they can all be removed from any chances of another outbreak. The reign of the goa'uld ends entirely when we finish regardless of how fast it is done."

John pointed out. "That's why you contacted the Asgard. They have more ships and people to speed things along."

I nodded. "That and because they gave their word to help in the fight against the goa'uld."

John frowned. "Why not just exterminate them then like with the wraith?"

I sighed. "The wraith were caused by my people and weren't natural like the Asurans were caused and a threat. The goa'uld aren't the fault of the Ancients and while they found our technology so have the peoples of earth. They are a sentient race and will be put back on their home worlds with their gates removed. What happens then is between them and their people."

Sam asked. "Won't their primal ancestors just eat them?"

I shrugged. "I don't know and I don't really care. That's up to them and not my concern."

Three days later the Tok'ra had retreated and the Asgard came with ten ships. We systematically removed goa'uld into tanks and inoculated most Jaffa while those few that still refused and refused to take on Tok'ra found themselves inoculated regardless only without the super soldier serum. Worlds were quickly emptied of goa'uld while the humans of earth gave the Jaffa their options. The goa'uld were forcefully removed from their hosts and the hosts mostly died off while what few didn't were taken to different worlds so the Jaffa didn't kill them.

Some goa'uld tried to fight back with ships but they were quickly disabled and systematically dealt with. We were an unstoppable force and they gave way as we emptied entire worlds and left extra Tretonin for the children on those worlds. Hundreds of worlds were gone over in a day and hundreds of thousands of goa'uld were dumped into the waters of their home worlds.

I'd removed the gates and put the Unas on other Unas worlds so it was easier on them. By the end of the week, all the goa'uld including those hiding were dumped back on their home worlds. Ba'al was the last of them hiding on an ancient outpost world with Kull warriors. All the Kull warriors had been dealt with as well because they had symbiotes as well.

All the queens were taken there as well so it was over. The Asgard removed the goa'uld targeted devices on the protected planets and told the inhabitants that the Ettins were no more. The Tok'ra took it a step further and blew up the star that the three goa'uld home worlds orbited. I shook my head when I heard that and set my ships down on Sanctuary.

I put them away in my ring when I finished after shrinking them so that all five were locked away tight. John was put in charge of helping Dr.Elizabeth Weir in managing her people with the IOA's supervision. Daniel was said to be coming to Atlantis to study the old Ancient culture and the recordings of all the cultures hologram teaching program that looked like Ganos Lal had.

I was setting up a drone factory while speaking with the Jaffa leaders that came at my request. I gave them all a hologram program of Bra'tac, the wisest Jaffa I knew. Bra'tac was flattered, but I pointed out it all started with his teachings and Teal'c's dream of freedom.

I told the leaders. "I know I took the only government your people knew when I took away the goa'uld and I know I didn't give you all a real choice, so I'm giving you one now. That recording is capable of sharing all recorded forms of government and structures that the Ancients and Asgard have ever observed including the goa'uld, Tok'ra and Tau'ri as well as our own forms of government, laws and systems to maintain our empire back in the height of it when we populated more worlds than the Jaffa do now."

I waved to it in Bra'tac's hand. "It's all translated and capable of relaying the information in any language you prefer. I'm not saying you have to use our laws or even turn it on. All I'm saying is that it's a gift from the last of my kind in this galaxy to a budding peoples that deserve more than I can possibly give. Call it what you will, but it is entirely your choice to adopt laws and study them or disregard it all as you deem fit."

They appreciated it and I wished them luck. I headed to earth a day later when a Colonel Mitchell came wanting to get the band back together. Sam and Ronan came with me while John was content to watch egg heads and tell them no creating artificial blackholes and stuff to that effect. More scientists had been sent to Sanctuary each day to study whatever they desired.

The truly dangerous technologies and knowledge weren't available to them yet and wouldn't be for a very long time. My second suit stayed there so I could monitor the scientists closely and fix any screwups if need be. I told Mitchell that Ronan would be a great choice to join his team and Sam was for it, but she wanted to keep an eye on the R&D at Area 51 so we'd trade off and go on missions as needed or together if they were related to the ancients.

Colonel Mitchell was happy to hear that and Sam officially rejoined the SGC if part time while working R&D. I gave Ronan my old particle magnums and offered him a super soldier serum and longevity upgrade. He agreed and nearly reached me in height at six foot seven inches after the upgrade. I sparred with him until Vala Mal Doran came to the base looking for Daniel who was packing to leave to Sanctuary.

She hit him with a pair of Jaffa bracelets and an ancient tablet combination talking about hidden treasure here on earth. I raised an eyebrow when they looked to me. Sighing, I told them. "It's possible. The satellite system isn't capable of picking up buried and cloaked advanced Lantean shields or further if ascended knowledge is used. I was limited by materials and time constraints when I built the satellite system, but I'm sure if you can get a location that the Asgard sensors aboard the Prometheus can pick it up if barely."

Mitchell spoke up. "It's ancient so are you in?"

I nodded and Daniel translated the tablet before studying the information the Atlantis team sent back to compare the names. When he said the name Myrrdin, I frowned. "He's an Ancient alright, but his name was Moros when I knew him. He was the high chancellor of Atlantis before we were forced to abandon it. Though I don't know why he'd bother with a tablet."

Daniel spoke up. "That's because you don't know his earth name, Merlin."

Colonel Mitchell got happy and Teal'c raised an eyebrow. He'd been brought in to identify the bracelets Vala used. He said he had an idea of where it was as well. We had to sit through a meeting presentation where he got to the point eventually and told us it was in Glastonbury Tor, UK.

We went to the Prometheus and ringed down when they found the cave barely. Vala wanted her treasures and Mitchell got happy when the sword appeared in a stone. Mitchell failed to pull it free and I told him it was a hard light hologram fabricated sword so odds were good there was a test to pull it free and when it is pulled free a hard light hologram warrior would appear.

He asked if it could kill him and I nodded. "Hard light hologram means solid light fabrication. The sword that kills you will be as solid and sharp as any sword, sharper even than most."

I turned to Ronan. "You can do it unless you'd like an old man like me to fight the scary warrior."

He snorted. "I'll do it. Old man my ass."

Vala said it was a fine ass and we watched the hologram. I grunted. "Why Moros, you've looked younger and fatter."

I walked away saying it was just a hologram, but I'd recognize that face anywhere. We found two rooms so Sam went with Daniel and Vala while I went with Teal'c, Mitchell and Ronan. I told Mitchell after the door closed. "The ancient word means reflect and the symbols are reflected numbers."

I walked to the door while he fiddled with them until the door opened. We went to Daniel and Sam's door which opened with ease and Sam said they had a proverb puzzle. I grunted. "A child's puzzle for us."

Mitchell explained and we headed back to the sword. Ronan pulled it free and a knight in armor appeared. It was as tall as me and moved like me which made me frown instantly. "Son of a bitch. Moros you're an asshole!"

Sam asked what was wrong and I grunted. "He scanned me while I was in Atlantis and studied my moves, skills with a sword and basic body. It's not as fluid or fast but Ronan's basically fighting a copy of myself as a suit of armor."

Mitchell saw Ronan nearly get his head cut off and said. "That explains why he's losing."

I shook my head. "Ronan has fought me every day for a year in virtual and physical combat. He knows my moves and he's testing the limits of the hologram. See there, he's not fighting back because he's having fun making it try harder."

He jumped over a leg sweep and didn't strike the knight so it was plain that he was testing it and himself. When Vala told him to finish it, he moved and beheaded the knight.
