Moon Orbit
@Burning Kitty
"If by warp you mean hyperdrive technology, the Tau'ri are already capable of interstellar travel, despite it not being of their own design." The Tok'ra provided.
The Prometheus approached the USS Creed, now both ships within each others visual ranges. "Code confirmed. You may beam aboard our ship. We will transport you to the location of the meeting. I would ask that you bring the Tok'ra with you as well." |

The Prometheus shields dropped in order to allow them to beam aboard, intending to return to earth orbit and beam them down directly to the conference room, where General Hammond, SG-1 and the Tok'ra who had arrived earlier were waiting.
Initial point of arrival
The lower portion of the Ha'tak engaged by the Kuriotes was glowing red and orange. As it slowly turned to face their pursuer more chunks of hull and armor plating became dislodged, the ship being in bad shape after the tactical strike done by the USS Creed. Its shields now partially recharged, soaked up the first few shots before collapsing again. Another volley of plasma bombardment struck the central structure of pyramid. The lights covering the secondary structure around the pyramid itself flickered and then died off completely as the ship began slowly tumbling through space.
Although not fully destroyed the ship was now disabled, no longer able to retaliate in any way.
Closer to the arrival location the final Ha'tak of the original four that had arrived with Anubis' flagship began breaking apart under the combined attacks of the Endeavor and Starlight Lance.
While the battle raged on, points in space, seemingly at random, distorted violently. Gravitational anomalies began permeating throughout the area, putting great stress on the hulls of all ships present. Only the Kuriotes and the disabled Ha'tak were spared from these aberrations as they were far enough from the main combat zone.
The subspace tares which were the original culprit for the amalgamation of ships from various realities bore a secondary effect. Ruptures in space itself appeared in the form of expanding spheres, the surface of these round objects seemingly reflecting space around. Or rather reflecting the space of a completely different locations.
As some the spheres expanded without warning many ships were swallowed by them. Only the Endeavor, the Starlight Lance, the now returning Ahel and most of the agile fighters were lucky enough not to be immediately engulfed by these orbs.
Amidst the gravitational distortions all three ships would find themselves unable to jump to FTL speeds, while the Starlight Lance additionally lost contact with its hyperspace probes.
Pel'tak
Aboard his flagship, Anubis angrily watched in silence as his chances of recovering the individual now on-board the Venator-class diminished by the second.
The lights on the Pel'tak flickered, the strain on the power grid supporting the shield becoming evident.
"Enough!" Anubis shouted at the second prime. "It is time to leave."
"Understood, my lord." The second prime tapped on the console before him.
Anubis' flagship accelerated quickly towards the blueish glow that was the hyperspace window, and then vanished, not even bothering to recall the few remaining fighters still in combat.
In response to the anomalies forming, the still functional Ha'taks belonging to the other faction also opened their own hyperspace windows and fled the scene.
@Lmpkio
Aboard the Endeavor a group of Clone Troopers patrolling a hallway near the forward hangar of the ship ran into a person wearing a black cloak. The man used one of the walls as support, seemingly weak on his feet.
"Help me." He said in weak voice, covering half of his face with one hand. The Clone Troopers would quickly identify the man as Chancellor Palpatine.
Behind his hand, the other half of his face was white and deformed, eye visibly yellow as opposed to his other blue one.
The Chancellor managed to take a few more steps before collapsed to his knees just as the ship shook violently under the gravitational influence it was under.
Interstellar Space, 2.5 light years from Initial point of Arrival
@Sep@Assallya
Subspace all around where Janus had decided to position his new arrivals crackled with energy, the subspace tare creating cascading waves spreading outwards from the tear faster and faster, forming occasional nodules.
"This is all your doing, Janus." A voice said.
"Your recklessness could have ended the entire galaxy." Another voice came.
"And it may still do so. Whatever may emerged from these openings, you'll be forced to watch powerlessly." A third said.
"This is your punishment." A great number of voices spoke in unison.
"Perhaps what I have done was wrong. But at least I chose to do something." Janus responded.
The nodes in subspace manifested themselves as more spheres in space, wormholes. Connecting them to untold places and realities. However these wormholes were a one way ticket much alike the Stargate created by the ancients. Whatever came through could not return through the same one.
Many of these wormholes appeared and then quickly vanished again, yet two of them remained open.
Each one ejecting a ship into space.
A one and a half kilometer long carrier and a much smaller wooden vessel suddenly found themselves floating through unknown space.
