T Minus 3 months
Walking through the doors to the park, Harry stood for a moment as he watched Jack and the rest of what had become the primary command staff, spread out leading small groups in the modified Tai Chi type exorcises designed to give a person control over their magic with a thought.
Proud of how everyone seemed to be embracing the Alteran way of life, and leaving the bigotry and baggage of the Wizarding world behind. Moving into the park proper Harry made his way over to an empty section of lawn and started to stretch, knowing that by the time he was finished he too would have a group following his lead.
Finishing his routine Harry waited for the twenty or so people to finish the final movement before bidding them a good morning and encouraging them to keep up the good work.
Walking down the hall towards the transport station Harry had to grin with the amount of people wanting to chat with him, telling him what a great place this was and how much they were learning.
Entering his quarters Harry walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table just as Jack placed a plate of food in front of him.
"Thanks Jack." Harry said as he sat down.
"What do you have planned for the day?" Harry asked as he buttered his toast.
Swallowing the bit of egg and bacon he had in his mouth, Jack replied. "Most of the morning will be spent practicing with my study group for the defense and potions tests this afternoon."
"Then if I get lucky I will have a couple of hours to do some research before the department heads meeting at four." Jack added as he set his coffee down.
"Well I have the meeting with the Goblin council at ten and Aloria wants to go over some of the information from the Atlantis dump that came in a couple of months ago, she finally has been able finish going through several thousands of years of data and is ready to go over some of the more disquieting things she has gone through." Harry said frowning as he remembered Aloria's tone of voice when she asked for some time today to go over what she had learned.
Banishing his now clean breakfast dishes back to the cabinets with a thought, "I am off for a hot shower; I will catch up with you at four, though if you get finished early I should be up in my office trying to make sense of what Aloria's discovered." Harry said as he shook his head as Jack made his third sandwich, and wondering if Ron and Jack had a contest who could out eat the other.
At least Jack had manners and took his time, not only that he felt better in his arms too, Harry chuckled walking out of the kitchen and towards a nice long hot shower.

Walking onto the command deck Harry looked up and saw that most of the stations were manned including the gate console.
Changing his path so he walked behind the gate console he noticed that it looked like they were running a training simulation to track down and repair hardware faults.
Telling the two good morning Harry continued on and went up the five steps to his working platform.
Sitting down he noticed the new Holo-controls he asked Aloria to install so he could turn the table into an interactive work surface.
Loosing track of the time Harry spent the next couple of hours putting the new system through the paces, familiarizing himself with his new toy.
'Harry the search drones are reporting in by fold space from the Furling colony world Draynor.' Aloria vocalized through the bond they shared.
'What are they reporting back?' Harry asked curious of the answer.
'No traces of higher life anywhere in the system, I am transferring the data to your station now' Aloria told him as the table lit up as data streams and holograms of the system and landmass appeared above the table.
As the Goblin high council made their way from the gate up to the platform for the meeting, they were greeted by the sight of the incredible images floating above the table in front of Harry.
Noticing the Goblins staring at the hologram Harry stood up. "Good morning, you timed your arrival perfectly."
As the Goblins made to sit down Harry told them. "What you are looking at is a real time picture of Draynor, the main colony world of your ancestors, and the last know location of your race before they were wiped out by the Goa'uld."
The Goblins watched in awe as the images zoomed in on a herd of reptilian looking creatures.
"Grapt Horns." Whispered Stone Crusher as he remembered the legends told to him as a child.
As the drone moved on Harry manipulated the image causing the drone to hover over the gate and its broken console.
"Well that explains why the Goa'uld never colonized the world after wiping out the inhabitants." Harry thought out loud.
Tapping a few commands the image zoomed still closer and the damage to the console was evident.
The control crystals and their brackets had been completely melted by what looked like energy blasts.
Directing the drone to detach the two repair remotes Harry switched the view to another drone that was signaling it had found something.
"Shouldn't there be ruins at the very least." Bane Breaker asked.
"Just as you live underground with your farms on the surface, so did your ancestors. They preferred to build their cities underground leaving the surface of the world relatively untouched." Harry answered, as he read the data stream indicating a Trinium alloy shaft below the drone in the hillside.
Weaving his hands in and out of the active sensor controls in the table Harry took direct control of the drone and guided it into the shaft.
The Goblins watched avidly as Harry guided the drone down the shaft, stopping every so often to direct the remotes to detach and open grillwork designed to keep out animals.
Granthorn gasped out as the drone finally exited the shaft high in the ceiling of a vast cavern housing an enormous city in pristine condition.
As Harry directed the drone in concentric circles towards the center of the Mayan looking city Harry started to tell them why he had called the meeting.
"Shortly after our first meeting in the Goblin Council chambers I took notice of seven sets of runes drawn on the hall hiding the archway gate.
I recognized them for what they truly were, Astria addresses, which with enough power would open the Astria to other worlds.
I asked Aloria to send a signal to test if the Astria were still active through the network.
Six of the Astria no longer function in any way and will have to be checked on physically, while the seventh failed to report it did test as working.
Plus a search of the records indicated that this world was the one your ancestors had claimed as their first colony world and was the most logical location to find the information on your home world.
Deciding to play safe I sent a couple of dozen recon drones through the closest Astria to Draynor and they arrived this morning." Harry explained.
Splitting his attention briefly as the remotes sent back that the Astria still could be used to receive and with the right parts sent easily fixed.
Noticing an active but weak power source Harry stopped the drones circular flight, and redirected it to roof of the center building and the source of the energy signal.
As the drone extended landing struts and touched down Harry looked over to the Goblin council members to see that all of their attention was firmly fixed on the image in front of him.
Bane Breaker who had caught the shift in Harry's posture asked. "All this symbols flowing to either side of the picture, what do they tell you?"
Ordering the remotes to detach from the drones and make their way cautiously over to the energy source and what looked like a holographic generator, Harry thought for a moment then answered. "Some of the data tells me that the Astria can still be used one way, what goes there can not get back until it is fixed though and it might be better to build a new Astria and disassemble this one after sending the first set of supplies and remotes through.
Also it seems that there is no sign of any intelligent beings on the planet and I can find no traces of any disease or reason that would stop you from re-populating this world as your own.
It looks like the other landmasses house several cities and will have to be investigated to see what shape they are in. Though I have found no trace of a space port, it might be housed off planet though."
Harry was about to continue when the remotes had gotten close enough to trigger a recorded message.
The image of a Goblin dressed in a bright blue uniform appeared and started to speak in a gravely voice.
Mentally telling Aloria to record and translate the image Harry calmed the council down with. "Aloria will play it back with a translation as it seems over time the language has shifted enough that you are having trouble understanding what he is saying."
After several minutes and the recording started over, Harry directed the remote to back away from the beacon shutting the recording off and conserving its almost exhausted energy reserves.
Harry shunted some of the holograms to the ends of the table so that the recording could be played in the center of the table.
The blue uniformed Goblin flicked in place for several minutes while the Goblin council looked back and forth between them selves lost in thought.
"I have the translation ready now Lord Commander" Aloria announced.
Harry and the Goblins watched as the tale unfolded.
I am Grythok commander of the Grapt Claw. It is thirteen of the cycle of moon pass and we have recently arrived at the capitol of Draynor.
Here Aloria stopped the playback and interpreted. "That is roughly five thousand years ago."
My merchant command is the last survivor of the supernova that has engulfed the home world.
Know this, the destruction of the home system was not by natural means, and our best tacticians and spies have been unable to unveil our enemy.
We have spent the last third cycle giving our fallen brethren on Draynor to the fire and preparing the cities for our eventual return to cleanse the galaxy of the scourge known as Goa'uld.
One of my lesser claws was sent to the system housing the creature that ordered the attack on our people and has recently returned after cleansing it of the taint of the parasites.
I have set the automatics to build, from plans in the archives, a fleet of armed vessels that will be hidden at Misthalin port on the third moon.
I plan is to take my kinsman to the other colonies to warn them and gather supporters, and from there to the hidden colony in the Fremennik cluster that is rumored to house those of our race who embrace our ancient heritage, not the pacifism of those today.
If all goes as planned we will return in seven cycles with enough of our kin to man the vessels of our vengeance and we shall cleanse this galaxy of the parasites that attacked us without honor.
On the chance that we are not able to return as planned, I have set this beacon with a recording of everything we know about the attacks and the destruction of Kandar our beloved home world.
It will activate when it senses the presence of a member the Furling race, or in the off chance that we fail, and we as a people pass from this realm forever, a member of one of the great Alliance.
Our blood cries out for vengeance.
With that the hologram stilled. "There was a large amount of data transmitted on a side band that will take a few days to go over before we know what all it contains." Aloria said softly.
Moving his hands over the table top and the sensors linked to the drones Harry recalled half the drones and sent them towards the third moon and hopefully they would find the hidden base, while the other half searched the cites for the transport rings location.
Once that was done Harry deactivated the Hologram message and set the holographic projections to the end of the table before sitting back in his chair to think.
Several minutes had gone by before Harry was drawn back into the conversation when Bane Breaker made a comment.
"On the one hand this changes things, on the other we had intended to ask you to take with you a portion of our people and allow us to set up a colony on or near the world you choose as your own." Bane Breaker told him.
Opening his eyes back up, "I have no problem with helping you set up a colony world near where we finally decide to settle, or for any who wish to become permanent residents of this city." Harry said leaning forward.
"I would suggest leaving the group already here in the city as the ones that settle near the Alteran's new home." Stone Crusher offered.
"If it meets your approval Lord Commander it would be a good idea to rotate our young warriors through this city to give them experience. Two years I think." Granthorn told the others.
"That is assuming that the Lord Commander has no objections to his city being used as a training center." One of the other Council members spoke up.
"Something could be worked out for all those of the alliance I think." Harry told them thinking that he could place the city in the same positive orbit above their new home like it is here in the Earth system.
"As Kandar is lost to us forever, we should move as soon as possible to secure Draynor as our new home world." Stone Crusher said.
Bane Breaker looked at each of the council members in turn and seeing them all nod in agreement turned and asked. "How long before repairs are complete and we can start sending our people through the gate?"
Tapping out a few short commands a hologram of the system appeared next to a flat map of the landmass containing the capital city and the gate.
"Even sending through all the raw materials and supplies it will take the remotes ten days to build a new gate." Harry said as he was giving Aloria orders to start gathering the needed supplies for the project.
""It will take a day to gather everything needed, and if we sent everything in one go, there would be enough energy on the receiving end to handle a group of fifty along with the remotes and supplies before there would be danger of overloading the gate." Harry told them as he examined the data in front of him.
"We could have a cadre of warriors ready to go by morning with enough supplies to last a month." Stone Crusher informed the council.
"If you were asking my opinion, I would send through your group tomorrow. And even when the gate is built and functioning I would wait on sending any more but several small groups through, until one of the new ship gates has been built in orbit, this will allow automated weapons platforms to be moved into the system ensuring its protection." Harry told them.
"How long would that take?" Granthorn asked.
Stalling by entering some new commands for the drones, Harry asked Aloria to project how long it would take to build enough weapons platform to secure the system from Goa'uld attack with more to be added to make the system totally secure.
Getting the answer back and ordering the fabricators to get started on reproducing enough of their class to do the job, Harry answered slowly. "Ten days to manufacture the new gate. Then at least two days to bring through all the new supplies and fabricators needed to begin the job."
"It will be another ten days to build the massive ship gate, and by borrowing some of the fixed weapon platforms from the what is set aside for our new home, add another five days to move them into position." Harry said as he added another two days just in case.
"Twenty nine days from tomorrow. In twenty nine days we can move through everyone except those staying on to run the bank." Harry finally said.
After talking amongst themselves for a few minutes Ban Breaker said. "That is more than acceptable. We will have ample time to prepare and the first couple of groups through can map the city and its resources, then we can plan what we need to bring from there."
"Would a new teacher be able to be built during the time we prepare and be ready for our use, or would the Astria have priority?" Granthorn asked as he was loathe to loose the use of the link.
Harry looked at him for a moment side tracked by the question. "Aloria can build and program a new unit so it would be ready to install once the Astria has been replaced."
'I will start on it right now Harry, do you want the same settings as the one they are using now?' Aloria sent through their bond.
'Yes, and while I am thinking on it, modify the weapons platforms so that only an Alteran can access them, I want them to be fully automatic. I am not saying that the Goblins would betray my trust, more that I need to be sure we do not create a new menace to the galaxy, blood lust will run high for a few years with the warrior cast.' Harry told her.
'Understood, it will be a simple matter of sealing the boarding area with crys-steel, and the technicians will have to shift to the other side to gain access.' Aloria responded.
Granthorn seeing Harry's slightly surprised then pleased look as he entered notes on the data pad he had brought with him commented with a chuckle. "This is so much easier on the eyes being able to increase the size of the words, not to mention it can make readable even my shaky scrawl."
Laughing at the old Goblins words Harry joined back in planning the best way to accomplish the goal of moving the Goblin people to their new world.
After several hours of discussions, the Goblin Council started to make their way back to the gate so they could start to prepare the rest of their race for the moving day and the news that they would be allowed to have as many children as they wished instead of the strict control and lottery for new children they had in place now.
Stone Crusher stopped as the rest of the Council had moved out of hearing range, "I take it you have taken precautions so that we can not gain access to the new weapons you will be placing about the system for our protection."
Harry stopped and stared at the war leader calculating how honest he should be with his answer.
"It should not surprise you that I agree with you doing this. I know my young warriors far to well, and once they set foot on Draynor and hear first hand what the Goa'uld have done to our people, they will want revenge." Stone Crusher told Harry.
Facing him now he finished with, "I would not like to see my people go down that path, and have to loose what we are gaining because some young one crosses the line forcing you to act."
Harry stood there thinking about what the Goblin leader had told him, both spoken and un-spoken while Stone Crusher followed his fellow elders through the gate.

Banishing the empty tray that held his meal of finger foods and fruit pieces that had just appeared while he was deep in reports, Harry heard someone clearing their throats and looked up.
"Headmistress." Harry said noticing the slightly nervous looking stern woman standing before him.
Not one to beat around the bush, "Lord Commander a moment of your time if I may." Minerva asked.
Waving his hand at the seat across from him Harry told her. "Please sit, and you can call me Harry you know."
Pulling the chair out and sitting down. "Thank you Harry, I wanted to thank you again for rescuing my brother from those breeding camps."
Thinking of the unthinkable horrors that the prisoners were put through, all in the name of increasing Wizarding kind, left Harry wishing he could bring the man who had put the plan together back to life so he could kill him all over again.
"How is your brother doing?" Asked Harry thinking of how horrified the man had been when he had been weaned of the potions controlling him to find out he had gotten twelve young women pregnant.
"Michael is doing better and wants to thank you for, tubing I think the word he used is, the unborn children so their births can be spread out. It was a great relief to him and his wife.
Not to mention to the young women in question, knowing they did not have to carry a child and go through every thing involved in giving birth to a child forced upon them." Minerva told him.
Thinking of the several hundred such babies they had placed in artificial wombs, to help mentally heal the women in question, Harry was grateful that at least some of the fathers that were old enough for the responsibility were meeting the responsibility and said so.
"Yes, Michael and Amanda left this morning to go back home to start packing, they have decided that they want to raise their children as Alteran's." Minerva said proud of her brothers decision.
"Glad to have him join us." Harry told her.
Changing the subject to the reason she had sought him out. "Harry I was wondering what this meeting is about this afternoon you invited me to attend." Minerva said with some curiosity.
"I know we have discussed you taking over as the head of education." Holding up his hand when she started to once again point out she felt she did not know enough.
"I still feel you are the best person for the job, for the simple reason that I know you and I know that you will put the children's needs first." Harry tried to once again convince her.
Sighing Minerva knew she had lost the argument right then and there, when Harry pulled the needs of the children card.
It was hard, but Harry kept the smile off of his face when he saw that he had won.
"Fine then, though I will reserve the right to have more than one deputy." Minerva told him as she stood up, there was much to do to get ready for the meeting taking place in a couple of hours.
Letting his grin out as the stern no nonsense woman left the platform, Harry thought she really was the best person for the job, she would realize it soon enough.
XXXX
Shutting down his new toy, Harry walked to the steps and made his way down and back towards the steps leading up to the command level.
Climbing the three flights of steps Harry walked into his newly remodeled meeting room and around the duplicate of his new toy downstairs, only this one had an input station in front of each of the twenty seats.
Harry did not have long to wait before everyone that had been invited had shown up.
"Thank you all for coming." Harry told them.
As they all settled down around the table Harry continued. "Most of you have had several days to get used to the idea that you are now in charge of the various departments that fall under your area of expertise."
"I know that most of you do not have much of anything to report this time around, but at least you all will have faces to go along with the names." Harry told them.
"Let me assure you all once again, that you are the exact people needed for the job." Harry said as he leaned forward.
Pointing to his right. "Neville is in charge of Bio Sciences, would you like to start." Harry asked.
"Thanks a lot Harry, put a guy on the spot." Neville muttered and every one else laughed.
"For those who have yet to meet me..." Neville started before being interrupted.
"More like for those not stupid enough to chase you down as you are playing with those damn man eating plants of yours." Jack smirked, laughing at the night time conversations he and Harry had been having and the tails of Neville's love of man eating plants.
"Hey, not my fault they like the taste of you." Neville fired back.
"As I was saying." Neville said giving Jack a rude stare, eyes glinting with mischief. "I am Neville Longbottom, I have been placed in charge of the Bio Science division which includes Herbology, Exo-Botonay and all the farm production for the city.
You can usually find me down in the main section of greenhouse three dealing with the magical plants."
"The only thing to report is that I am still short handed of those with farm experience, though we are now at full production, and producing all that we consume without any imports." Neville reported.
"Hopefully as we are extending the acceptance orbs to the younger years we will be able to help you out Neville." Gran told her grandson.
"Thanks Neville, if you start getting into to much of a bind let me know and I will see if we can't recruit a little more directly." Harry told him.
Smirking at Jack, "Now the smart arse next to Neville with the phobia for anything green is Jack O'Neill, the improved version, you can ask him about it later if you really want to know." Harry said laughing under his breath at the expression on Jack's face, he loved how expressive it was.
"Hey, I prefer to eat my salad when I can't get out of it, not have it eat me." Jack pouted.
"Any who, Like Harry said I am the new and improved model of Jack O'Neill, and due to drawing the short straw with the other two, who shall remain nameless. I have been put in charge of all of our response forces, defensive and offensive.
That means the space forces, scouts, shuttles and what not. The ground forces which include our specialist and what I like to call those crazy old men who like to make things go boom. And the internal security, or the city peace makers."
"The only complaints my crazy old men division has is there has not been enough things to go boom. Other than that I think were golden." Jack finished, and every one else had to access the link to translate his particular brand of slang.
"Which leads to you my fine..." Jack turned to McGonagall and froze at her stern expression.
"Hold your horses there, you got this whole Spock thing going, do you know that. I can hear Kirk barking out Eyebrows set to stun." Jack quipped trying to get her to soften up.
You could tell you at the table had more than a passing familiarity with television when they fell all over themselves in laughter.
"Jack me lad better be careful before she sets those things on kill." Kevin laughed out.
"Yes well contrary to the opinion of most of her former students, Minerva can not make a person spontaneously combust with a look, though Tommie boy did avoid her at all costs while he was alive." Harry said eyes definitely laughing even though his face looked innocent.
"Humph, it is a good thing I can no longer give out detentions Mr. O'Neill or you would certainly be serving several months worth. I have the feeling you could give the twins a run for their money." Minerva said primly, even though her eyes were laughing.
"While I have been roped into being in charge of the whole education system, I am still feeling my way into the more exotic classes offered. But I do believe we will have more than enough qualified teachers by the time we depart." Minerva told Harry.
"Healer Christanson if you would." Minerva passed off the speaking baton so to speak.
'Thank you my dear, and it is nice to see you up and moving about too." Agatha said more than willing to continue the good humor shown so far.
"Before discovering my heritage and joining the city, I was trained as a trauma surgeon, and was the top in my field with a post as Head of the emergency department at Johns Hopkins. With the tutoring from Poppy Pomfrey I am now fully qualified in magical healing also." Agatha introduced her bio.
"Now my duties fall into trying to ride herd on the Genetics department, Healer Hall and those crazy people who like to brew poisons, I mean potions." Agatha said, always liking the Pern nomenclature of her profession.
"As far as staffing is concerned we are fully staffed and well into training both magical raised and non magical healers. So far I have not run into any problems with keeping up with the new arrivals or the common day to day illness and injury in an active population like ours." Agatha told them proud of her people.
"And I know better than to take time away from a Hopi woman of power, Powaqa dear your next." Agatha said.
"Thank you dear, but I am still going to beat your ass during practice tomorrow." Powaqa told her sweetly.
"Most of you have seen me overseeing the goings on, on command one. Need to travel by Astria, my people will get you there. And the rest of the staff working better keep their eyes on what is going on around near space and in the city, or I will throw their ass around the training mat too." Powaqa told them humor in her voice.
"As far as status goes, we will be fully trained for all shifts by the time we depart in three months. Though I would like to see a trial run by the staff before we head out if you can find a way." Powaqa told Harry.
"I think I have a little project that would get your main team the experience you are looking for. I need to move one of the remote platforms to a neutral location when I call for the Alliance to convene in a week's time. Then you can cycle the rest of your teams through moving the weapons and support platforms to Draynor, the new home world for the Goblins." Harry told her.
Making some notes in her data pad Powaqa asked. "That should give the teams just what they need. How soon can we get underway and what are we taking?"
Waving his hand above the table sensors, Harry activated the keyboard and programmed for a projection of the ship he had in mind to appear.
"This is a battle carrier class station. It has its own gate and has the latest dimensional jump drive. It should give your crew a feel for when Shas leaves its moorings and makes its way towards the Pegasus galaxy." Harry told her.
Practically drooling Powaqa asked. "How soon can I get my ha...I mean can we crew her and get her underway to wherever you are setting her up." Powaqa corrected herself mid thought.
Laughing at her eagerness Harry told her. "You can move your teams to her tomorrow and after a good day of familiarizing yourselves with her you can plan to take off the next morning."
"Down girl, you are drooling all over the table. If you are not careful you will short it out." Kevin teased.
Smacking her sparring partner on the arm, "Watch it paleface, tomorrow it's your turn on the salle'." Powaqa told him.
"Agatha dear, you will protect me from the big bad injun squaw won't you?" Kevin asked doing his beast puppy dog eyes.
"Paleface black belt afraid of little old me?" Powaqa smirked
"To right miss martial arts champ." Kevin fired back laughing.
"If you haven't figured it out yet I am Kevin Gosteli. If it is broken I fix it, if it isn't I build it." Kevin told them.
"I ride herd on the remotes and all those who have this urge to take things apart to see what makes them tick." Then smirking at Harry he added. "Though Harry here won't let me take apart the city."
"To right. All we need is a geek with a spanner roaming around." Jack threw out.
Harry watched every one laugh at the joke and knew he had chosen the right people.
Remus seeing he was next, "I of course am in charge of the traders and diplomats, seeing as Jack's idea of a diplomatic gesture is blowing them up, and Harry would rather stun them into next week."
After those laughing got some semblance of control back, Jack responded. "Hey I resemble that." Causing more laughter.
"Augusta if you would." Remus said.
"I have met all of you at one time, most likely when you first joined us. I am Neville's grandmother, Augusta Longbottom. I see that the new arrivals are properly introduced and housed. After seeing the new design for the Crèches I would like to see several more of the towers converted as I am afraid we are rapidly filling them up." Gran told Harry.
Frowning Harry asked. "Are we really getting so many orphans?"
"As we have a different goal than the magical governments, we do not have the luxury of modifying the memories of radical parents and must fall back on rescuing the children and altering the parents memories, in about half the cases we are able to alter the memories of one of the parents so they believe they are divorced." Gran told him.
Incredulous Harry asked. "There are that many closed minded people out there?"
"Even with Alteran DNA most of the parents in question learned this behavior from their parents." Powaqa sadly told him.
Sighing sadly, "Get with Kevin and he will try to keep ahead of the new intakes then." Harry told her softly.
Looking over at Vlad. "I hope you have news that is not so depressing." Harry told the Russian born.
"Vlad Sidorov at your service. And I have no news depressing or otherwise. By the time we leave I will have fully trained construction crews ready to work the docks and building projects you come up with." Vlad said with a shrug.
Nodding his head Harry indicated for Tanaka to finish the group off.
"Lord Commander." Tanaka said with a slight bow.
"I have been given the honor of heading the science division. We handle any thing science related that does not fall under Life Sciences of the Bio Science departments." Tanaka told them.
"I am called Tanaka, Haruki. And I used to chair the applied science department at MIT." He said with a small bow of his head once again.
"The only thing of note is that I would say that only a third of the research labs have been occupied. And it is my hope that they soon will be filled. If not by the time we leave, then within a few years when the young ones start searching for answers." Tanaka told them.
"Thank you every one. Before we get something to eat and get to know one another better, I do have one major announcement." Harry now had all their undivided attention.
"Early this morning we were able to find Draynor, which was the first colony world of the Goblins, also known as the Furlings.
There was a recorded message left at the capitol city that let us know that as little as five thousand years ago the planet still was inhabited.
Also it would seem that the original home world of the Furlings was destroyed in a way that led the Furlings to believe their star going super nova was not natural.
Examining what little data Aloria has on the original star system I would tend to agree with the survivors. "Harry told them.
"The plan is for a new Astria to be built and moving most of the Goblins to Draynor as their new home world.
The first group of explorers will go through the Astria tomorrow along with a full crew of remotes.
Ten days later we will begin using the new Astria and sending through more teams and supplies to build a space gate that will be large enough to handle ships." Harry explained.
"Powaqa in twenty days time we will begin moving the platform and support ships through and all your teams should get more than enough experience to suit your needs." Harry told her.
Seeing her nod her head as she made notes he finished. "In twenty seven days we will move the remainder of the Goblins to their new world."
"And when would you be calling the Alliance meeting?" Jack asked wanting to make sure he had security set up and ready.
"Ten days time." Harry told him. "The signal will be sent out five days from now, giving the Nox and Asgard enough time to validate the signal and make their way to Myrrdin."
"Powaqa, how long will it take you to get the platform to...Harry where the hell are you setting it up at?" Jack asked.
Harry entered the co-ordinates and a hologram of a planet less double giant appeared along with spatial co-ordinates above it.
"This is a system lacking anything of any importance except as it plays havoc with Goa'uld sensors, or any one else's for that matter." Harry then tapped a few keys enlarging the area and causing a section near the outside edge to blink.
"Right here is where I want to station the Myrrdin. Far enough away so there is no interference with travel, yet close enough to take advantage of all that lovely energy." Harry said.
Making calculation with the help of her data pad Powaqa said. "Five days, it will take us five days from today to be set up."
Leaning back in his chair Jack thought before saying. "That gives me at least five days to make sure the area is secure."
Hearing the confirmation from Aloria with their estimates Harry rose. "It's settled then. Lets move this to the dinning hall, I hear we are having roast beast courtesy of Neville tonight."
Jack still in his chair asked pensively. "Plant or animal?"
He was still sitting there as Harry walked by not sure what to make of the evil sounding laughter Neville was making.
