Stargate Unification

Repairs

Eli and Vici spent hours together while they finally sorted through the supplies that the Ancients had left aboard Destiny. The surprising thing for Eli was that the crates they were stored in, collapsed so that the sides and bottoms could be used to seal hull breaches with the magnetic locking that they had. All four of them were sorting supplies, looking for the repair robots that had been left aboard to assist with repairs of the systems that would take them weeks or months to do by hand.

"We need to discuss who will begin repairing the hull in conjunction with the repair robots we already have working the solution." Vici said as they found more of the food stores that had been left sealed aboard the ship.

"I don't even know exactly what your specialties are." Eli replied in the same language they spoke as he had been learning by submerging himself in their language. It was the same way the Daniel had first learned Ancient Egyptian and Lantean when Jack had began speaking it one of the times the Ancient Databases had overwritten his mind.

"Toran is a specialist in the Power Systems, Idran specializes in the shields and weapons while I am a General Specialist in all of the systems and ones more advanced than what Destiny uses." Vici told him as they kept sorting through the supplies they were uncrating.

Eli considered it for several minutes as they kept unboxing different types of supplies. "Perhaps Toran and Idran should begin patching the small breaches while we keep working on looking for the robots." Eli said as he opened another crate and was surprised that there were 4 robots nestled inside of it. "Are these for the internal systems?" he asked as she looked at them and picked up the control for them.

"Power conduits, shields, weapons and general purpose." Vici replied as she powered them on before he broke down the box they were in. As soon as they were online she put them in automatic repair mode, and was surprised when they linked to the main computer to determine what exactly needed repaired. Although the conduits were very similar, each of them had their own nuances to repair, and each of them specialized in those systems.

"Well, perhaps we will be better off in the long run with those active. How long until it says they are repaired?" Eli asked.

"11 weeks." she answered as the initial diagnosis came through.

"That seems to be the magic number for repairs to the ship." he said as he opened the next Ancient supply crates and found more seeds and food that would help them survive.

"That it does." she replied as she opened another box of supplies that had been left aboard and found parts for the weapons systems.

Eli and Vici initiated the connection back to Earth exactly on schedule, just as General O'Neill had asked. When they opened their eyes in Atlantis, Vici was amazed at the sight before her.

"It's amazing, definitely built by my Clan." she said as she looked around.

"Welcome to Atlantis." Jack O'Neill said as soon as she looked at him. "What did you mean by Clan?"

"It is Lantean isn't it?" she asked as she kept looking around and Jack lead them to the observation deck outside the Command Center.

"Yes, we thought that they changed their name once Atlantis left for Pegasus." Jack said as the walked out onto the deck.

"No General, during our time our people were divided into 12 Clans. My clan was the Lantean Clan, responsible for most of the science that lead our people away from the Homeworld were our cousins the Ori came from. Each of the Clans worked together in harmony, but even in my time it was desired that we each have the ability to live on our own planets." Vici said as she looked at the amazing architecture.

Jack was surprised at that information, as they had only ever encountered the Lantean Clan. "Did they have designs like this in your time?"

Vici smiled as she looked at him. "Yes, my next assignment was to be on the city ship design and power systems. Despite each of our Clans having their own specialty, we were beginning to cross train between them. In fact it's amazing that this city is still here, as I don't imagine my people have been around for some time."

"About 10,000 years ago they abandoned the city and returned here to Earth." Jack told her as Daniel finally came out and joined them.

"Please tell me I am not to late." Daniel said as he saw Jack talking with the 2 people who were supposed to switch with Eli and the Ancient woman.

"Late for what?" Jack asked making Eli chuckle as they turned to go back inside.

"Hello Dr. Jackson, what are you expecting?" Vici asked him with a smile.

"I was hoping to speak with the Ancient woman." Daniel said as he looked at them.

"Maybe you shouldn't tell her she is called an Ancient. She may take offense since she isn't even middle aged yet." Vici said with a smile giving him crap for his wording.

"What would you suggest than?" he demanded looking at her.

"Referring to their people after they arrived in this Galaxy? Avalonian. If perhaps referring to her Clan as a whole which would be Lantean, or just call her Commander Vici." she said as his mouth fell open as he looked at her.

"Your her, aren't you." he said as Jack and Eli began laughing at the look on his face.

"I am Commander Vici of the Avalon Exploration Force." she said to him in her version of the Ancient Language."It seems there are a lot of things you have yet to learn about my people if General O'Neill is telling me everything."

"Everything I know." Jack said as he looked at Daniel. "Did you know there were 12 different Clans of the Avalonians?" he asked taking her hint.

"No." Daniel said as he looked at her. "The only thing that might even suggest it is when they arrived in this Galaxy the Council of Avalon had 12 seats."

"One each for the 12 Clans of my people that escaped the home Galaxy and arrived here in this one. Apologies, but our names for the Galaxies is most likely different than yours."

It took the better part of the day for Eli and Vici to return to Destiny to find that the Engineers that had been sent were more than competent in the repairs they had helped make, and had the 3rd and 4th space suits ready to be used as they had asked. It would allow all 4 of them to repair the hull of the ship, so that they might be able to increase the speed of which they could complete everything. They knew they needed to spend no more than 10 weeks conducting the repairs, and they were currently 2 weeks over that estimate. It was a simple matter of supplies, and they had water for 10 weeks even rationing the water to the bare minimum.

"Can we request those two any time that the two if you need to go to Avalon?" Imrin asked making them all laugh.

"We won't be returning until the ship is repaired. I activated the subspace comms, and have the files we need linked to Atlantis. This should allow 2 way communication, even if it takes hours for the signal to come across the universe. It gives us a chance to conduct upgrades instead if repairing the current systems. Only if we have the supplies to do it, if not we will do them once we are underway." Eli told them as his tablet finally indicated the subspace comms finally arrived at Destiny.

The other 2 looked at the files, and the good news was the engine upgrades would take the same time and parts as repairing them, as it was configuration differences between FTL and Hyperspace.
