Stargate Memories
[/size][/font][/color]It has been almost four years since Stargate Command saw its last threatening Goa’uld. The Stargate program has moved all across the universe, its most prominent sites being Stargate Command Headquarters on Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy and Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. In the Pegasus Galaxy, the Stargate Atlantis team has defeated the non-friendly Wraith once and for all. It seems that, without evil like Wraith, Goa’uld, and Replicators, the whole of the universe is safe.
Thanks to Dr. Keller, the Wraith that have sided with the humans have lost their hunger of human souls. They now work together with the humans, and there are several Wraith Stargate teams. No, it is no longer the Wraith that prey on the humans, but an old foe that the humans thought dead so many years ago.
Michael is back.
The Stargate team thought that Michael was dead. Indeed, they had all seen his ship blow to smithereens in the space battle that nearly cost them all their lives. So how did Michael live throughout that ordeal? He didn’t.
Michael’s body blew up with the ship, and his bloody pieces were thrown so far and wide that not even the most trace amounts of his DNA could be gathered. So how was Michael able to bring himself back? The answer is the simplest thing anyone could ever have thought of—the Wraith hybrid cloned himself. Before leaving his cloned self in the ship as a decoy, the real Michael told his clone that nothing would harm him. Michael was lying through his teeth, but the clone didn’t realize that his own flesh and blood had sealed his fate.
Michael was weak after the Atlantis team blew up, not just weak physically, but all of his test subjects died in the explosion except for one. He steadily worked on his experiment until he extracted most of the DNA he needed in order to make more of his subjects—human-Wraith hybrids. He made his new testing facility on M3D-4J5, a planet ranked ‘uninhabitable’ by the Atlantis team. The planet Michael didn’t care for—it was the name he did: Nova.
Nova was too close to its sister planet, a star, and so its surface grew hot, the air not breathable. But below the surface, that was where Michael built his large facility. In the end the facility grew as large as the middle of the planet; it had completely taken over the planet’s insides. To put the icing on the cake, so to say, Michael knew the whereabouts of both Atlantis and Earth. No human civilization could possibly stand up to the mighty army of human-Wraith hybrids Michael was making. Nova was no longer an uninhabitable planet but a large, evil installation that would one day threaten the whole of the human race.
That day was soon approaching.
Meanwhile in Atlantis, a strange thing has occurred. Dr. Weir, former leader of Atlantis, arrived through a wormhole from an alternate reality. Her history was almost the same as the other Weir’s history before the other Weir died, except this Weir survived. Through a massive power surge, when Weir stepped through the Stargate to visit Stargate Command she ended up coming through to this reality’s Stargate Command instead of her own. Needless to say, the SG1 team was mildly surprised when a supposed dead woman suddenly appeared alive before their eyes.
However, no matter how Weir explained what had happened, neither Rodney nor the top researchers on Earth could accurately create a wormhole, and Weir was trapped in this reality. Woolsy accepted her onto the team with open arms, but only after sincerely apologizing that this was his post now and unless Stargate Command wanted to give Weir back her old position, he would be leader of Atlantis. Weir, after a moment of thinking it over, realized that this was not her reality and that she would have no idea what was happening. It would be for the better for Woolsy to keep his job, though he did anoint her second-in-command.
It was around this time that Rodney started to receive encoded transmissions in Wraith. These transmissions were all jumbled at first, and for the life of him, Rodney could not figure out the code that the sender was using. The only things he could discern was that the Wraith at Atlantis were not to blame and that the sender knew the location of both Earth and Atlantis. After poring over the transmissions, Rodney realized he had been looking at them wrong. The writing was encoded in the Wraith language, but before that they had been encoded in the Ancient language and before that they had been recorded in Asgard, which had actually been recorded from the original Wraith language. The reason why Rodney could not understand why he couldn’t decode the transmissions was that he was looking for coding in the more popular human languages, and hadn’t thought that Michael would have gone through so much trouble to encode them so many times.
When he finally pieced together what the transmissions were saying, Rodney called a meeting with Stargate Command. The following is what the transmissions said:
You may not have heard or seen me for a while, but I’m still here. You may remember me, but you probably don’t realize who I am. Will I tell you? No, that takes the fun out of the game. But I know where Earth is, and I know where Atlantis is. The humans’ short time in this universe is nearly up. Count your blessings—you won’t have many left soon.
Rodney, in all his excellence, frowned, and said, “I believe Michael has come back.”
Upon hearing the news of the human-Wraith hybrid’s eminent return, the Wraith rejoiced. They had been semi-captive in Atlantis, since their Hive Queen had died, but now that there was news of Michael’s return, the Wraith set up a close-communication with him, and switched sides. Once again the Wraith were the bad-guys. And, because they had lived in Atlantis for some time, the Wraith, and Michael, now had the upper hand. What’s worse, Michael discovered the gene that would reverse Keller’s drug and give the Wraith back their powers, and their hunger for human blood. Though a minority of the Wraith stayed in Atlantis, they became frowned upon, like drudges or homeless people on Earth.
Will the humans survive Michael’s deadly onslaught? Will old allies join the fight, or will they disown the Stargate teams? Will evil overtake the Stargate teams, or will good prevail?
This you must decide in Stargate Memories.
