Dusting Atlantis off

I had been in Atlantis for little more than 4 hours and I had already begun creating a ZPM. I was using the materials i had created before, the printer like machine that the ancients had left behind and my own Space-time magic to create the dimension within the crystalline structure. Currently I was observing the automated construction of the ZPM with interest, i watched through a closed off room with stained glass separating me and the machine. Several robotic arms came from the roof and shapeshifted into various tools and forms, the metal liquidizing and reforming as it continued to shape and mould the process. It looked eerily familiar to what the human form replicators could do. I looked down at the console in front of me and read the ancient text to find out how long the process would take. Apparently it would take a full 24 hours to make and would consume half of the ZPM that i had plugged into the hexagonal hole at the side of the console.

'Hmm, okay, maybe i should raise the city from the ocean? Can't have it under water all this time draining power, although that won't matter much when i fully automate the process of constructing ZPMs.'

I walked over to one of the 'elevators' and selected the central tower, the doors closing soon after and opening just as quickly as i then walked out into the gate room. I walked up the stairs, the ancient words and glyphs that were lost on me previously now being noticeable. Most of the words were mottos and moral quotes and so on. I stepped into the main control room and began searching for the 'raise city' button, which funnily enough the city did have one. Feeling a little nervous about the action I searched up the protocol to lift the city. After scanning the programs and context for a while i noticed that several segments were augmented by Earth programming language as overrides. 

'mmm, not very elegant and seems rudimentary compared to Ancient coding... All well time to fix it.'

Without much effort I quickly replaced the code and implemented it. Now the city would rise with ease and would be shielded by the Inertial Dampeners of the city ship. I then moved onto an internal scan of Atlantis for any invasive presences or technology, finding none i then switched to an in-depth map of the entire city. Several locations were now revealed as the code of Earth had been causing massive disconnections in several subsidiary systems. There was the science wings and labs, the drone bays, the Jumper bays, residential towers, water desalination sections and of course the main one, the hyper drive engine levels. The other sections were all common things such as farms and medical wings etc... They were all spread throughout the city as well so i didn't find them that important.

Finding myself slipping into a never ending spiral of interesting things to look at I quickly took myself away from the map and started the process of lifting the city to the top of the ocean. With a loud thrumming and yanking the city slowly began to rise, a cobalt blue glow filling the surroundings ocean as with a descent amount of lift the city steadily picked up pace until it was only a couple kilometres from the surface, where it then slowed down and used minimal power to push the city up stably. With a confident smile and mild pride at being able to do all this by myself i started to adventure around the city, leaving the shield on just in case the Wraith happen to spot the city somehow.

...

Over the next 20 hours i explored various different labs and looked at what experiments were occurring. Some were geared towards ascension whilst others were completely based on nanotechnology and liquid metal. The research was eclectic and random as numerous different types of science filled the data bases, as if the labs were used by different people at different times. Sometimes there were passwords but they were easily bypassed as i simply wrote code to crack into it. There were even some makeshift designs on next generation battleships for space combat, utilizing the living metal technology and nanotechnology to create virtually unstoppable battleships that could self heal and realign to create weaponry of whatever variety the captain needed.

'Crazy, I'd love one of them... Maybe once the people from Stargate Command get here i can get them to help. Although, i don't know if they will accept me being in control of Atlantis.'

'Hmm, on another topic, what if i was to incorporate runes into the programming of certain elements of the city?'

Feeling the idea had some merit I went back to the ZPM manufactorum and watched the process some more. It was far further along now and the crystals looked very structured as veins of yellow and red tangled and created circuits of a sort. It was almost done. Taking my chance i quickly started adding runes to code that increased the speed and accuracy of the machine. I also created runes, ᛊᛈᚨᚲᛖ ᛏᛁᛗᛖ ᛞᛁᛗᛖᚾᛊᛟᚾ ᛊᚢᛗᛗᛟᚾᛁᛜ, that allowed for the automation of subspace-time dimensions, meaning that as long as there was energy in the universe/multiverse this machine could create ZPMs. I smiled happily as the runes incorporated seamlessly with the ancient code, seeing as how it was magic it didn't really interact with the code at all, only fulfilling my role in the production line.

I looked on as the machine was very close to finishing, the speed the machine was operating at being twice as fast as before.

'Hah, only an hour or two more then i can begin the automatic process of creating them. Wait, i need to store them some place...'

I created another rune and line of code that made the metal arms place the ZPM on a table next to the cylindrical pedestal that was used to make the ZPMs, i then followed it up by making a space storage rune on said table that when something was placed on it would store it in another pocket dimension that only i had access to.

'Good, now that that is settled i can go back to the fucked up universe i call home.'

'That's very good, i could now enchant the whole entire city... Okay, let's create security measures and passwords for all of the city, then i can go home, better safe than sorry.'
