Limit Theory [PA Multicross SI]
I find that questionable as well.
Reasons could include, but are not limited to, "I'm too old for this shit" and "When the benevolent alien overlord says she wants to help, just let her help".

Probably this. If she's going to datamine you anyway, you can at least profit of it.
Extra word, comma instead of full stop and missing stuff.
Well, it's somewhat along the lines of he simply can't stop her, he can't punish her, he can't even properly scold her really. I think he should be shown to be more reluctant about the information and it's accuracy though. Something like "you do understand that we have to confirm it's accuracy." or something to that effect.
There's nothing Hammond or anyone else on that Earth that would have a chance of catching, let alone stopping, possible deception, infiltration, or most other actions that the commander decided to do (Barring any ascendeds who happen to be hanging around), and Hammon knows it.
Playing nice is his best option by far.

Its sort of like Hammond accepting the existence of the ascended ancients at this point.
"So a race of humans from 10,000 years ago became so advanced that they became pure-energy and now watch us flail around like a good reality tv show... or at least I hope its good."
"Yup."

I don't think people at the pentagon would buy that, though.
Yeah, this. Should change that. After all, if the information is made up that's a problem for the SGC.
I don't think they know about the Ascendeds yet.
And I don't think they'll have a reason to find out.

Well, new chapter. In which I defy the Stargate writers for having a tiny scale.
------------------------
I watched the tractor units lower the ship gently into the docking cradle on the side of one of Atlantis's connector arms. The automated systems in the cradle conferred with the ship's systems, confirming its identity as CA-17013009, and the cradle's systems adjusted to match the hull layout of the Type-756 Attack Cruiser.
With the ship now fully connected to the cradles, I lowered the power of the gravwell surrounding it as gangway tubes extended from the arm towards the ship. I overrode some of them, preventing them from attempting to connect with missing airlocks. My bots began stepping through the gangways to retrieve the crew.
LAS Aurora had returned home. Now it was up to me to get the crew back on their feet. All 9,126 of them. Of course, I was going to wake up the officers first and explain the situation to them and then let them explain the situation to the crew.
Of course, being in stasis for so long hadn't done their bodies any favors, so I had brought over the life-fountain. Hopefully I would be able to heal them without taking them out of stasis, but I could just thaw them and let the device work its magic.
-------------------------
"Good morning." I sing-songed, as the Aurora's captain opened his eyes for the first time in ten millennia.
"Who…" He started, sitting up.. "Who are you?"
"I am Rachel Ezros of the Exiles." I said, "And you are Maston Pryri, captain of the LAS Aurora, correct?"
"Yes." He nodded, then noticed his hands. "I'm young again!" He held his hands closer to his face to examine them.
"Yeah, I found the Ancient Life-Fountain." I said. "It's the reason we're doing this in a cargo bay, because I don't want to wake up something in the labs."
"I thought that was a myth!" He shouted. "You brought it to Atlantis?"
"Yes." I said. "There are a few more ships with crews in stasis out there that I'm bringing home. Their crews will also need the treatment. It's been ten thousand years, Captain."
"The stasis systems weren't designed to be used long-term." He frowned. "A hundred years was the limit they told us. They left us there for that long?"
"I'm going to wake your officers up before briefing you on the situation. Then you can wake your crew up and explain the entire situation to them."
------------------------------
"Alright." I said to the assembled officers of the Aurora. "It has been ten thousand years. During that time, the galaxy has been dominated by the Wraith. I've just showed up and killed all of them. The Lanteans never returned, and no, I'm not Lantean. Not even human, despite how I look." Well, they probably would have thought I was human, given that I was shorter than them. Some pretty interesting breeds of humans had popped up throughout the records in Atlantis.
"Alright." The captain said. "We're just supposed to accept that you somehow managed to kill off a species that has proven almost impossible for us to fight. How did you do it?"
"This-" I projected a hologram of a ship, highlighting the main weapon, "-is the Audux Type-B(w). It's a corvette armed with an anti-bio beam that's tuned to cause certain proteins in the Wraith to explode. I used these."
"A very effective weapon, I can see, but that doesn't matter against a race of trillions that can easily regrow missing ships." Corras Trebal, the first officer, protested.
"One, I can build fully automated ships in minutes, continuously." I stated, ticking off the reasons on my fingers. "Two, each of my units have cloaking devices. Three, the first reason the Wraith had to suspect that there was someone trying to kill them was when they all simultaneously exploded."
"A ship every few minutes is impressive," Corras said, "But that wouldn't let you build up enough strength to fight like that."
"Ah, it seems I have miscommunicated." I said. "Each shipyard can crank out a ship in minutes. This includes the ships that actually make up the shipyard. In addition, I have ex nihilo mass generation, meaning I don't need to worry about running out of planets to eat." One after another, their eyes widened.
"Uh…" Corras tried to say something coherent. She was cute though, so I'll give her that.
"In the meantime, you need to go wake up the crew and explain this to them. There are going to be a few more ships coming in." I said.
"How many?" The captain asked.
"Of the 98,562 Lantean ships I have encountered, 45,688 are beyond recovery, 32,116 will require field repairs to be stable enough to transport back to the New Lantea system, 17,559 are abandoned or had a stasis failure, and the remaining 3,199 have crew in stasis that can be recovered."
"That's… more than I would expect." The captain said.
"Yeah, me too." I said. "Of the ships with crew, there are 1,586 various frigates, 823 cruisers, 425 battleships, 360 carriers, and 5 dreadnaughts."
"It's going to take a while to get them all woken up, one at a time." Corras pointed out.
"Hmmm." I said, striking a thoughtful pose. "I suppose I should set up an outboard facility away from Atlantis. This way I can crank up the field size on the Ancient Life-Fountain and not worry about it clipping any of the labs. Then we'll be able to process all of the crew fast enough that it'll be done this year."
Corras nodded. "Alright, let me know when it's-"
"Done." I stated. "10 klicks from the tip of the southeast branch. Plenty of room for a dreadnaught's crew there."
"You're just showing off, aren't you?" Corras asked.
"Hey, if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em." I winked at her. She facepalmed.

Yeeeeees... feel the frustration flow through you! Now you know how every other god damn race has felt when your super bullshitium machines start doing wierd things!
They are going to have a moment when they realize she's gotten all their 'shinies' as another commander put it. A race with better tech than them, and can out build them to a laughable degree? Karma is smiling down on them.
Edit: those Ancients that are Pro-Ancient, are going to have a stroke when they realize how bullshit she is.

Yup. That's coming up in... probably about 200-400 chapters.
No, she's just causing huge political debates. The real trolling starts with the magical girl transformation.
No, it's just a test for the vault Merlin set up to warn people about the Ori. The problem is he also had something that would aggro the Ori if activated, in there.
Ark of Truth not canon for Limit Theory, since neither Rachel or the Ori is allowed access to instant brainwashing beams.
Sangraal is located in a mobile labratory that's being beamed through the Stargate network. Rachel has an eye on it.
Actually, one of the units I came up with, I realized "that's too much production" so I toned it down. You'll know when it comes up.
Anyway, chapter up in a bit.

Thor
-----------------------
25 September 2000
It was, Thor supposed, tempting fate to assume that this month would go as well as the past month. While the Exiles' actions were concerning, far more important than that was that they were giving a great deal of strength to the Tau'ri. More importantly, they were planning to make such trips as Thor was making irrelevant.
Currently, he was taking one of the old Bilskirnir-I's into Avalon to scare off a Goa'uld intruder from around one of the Protected Planets. It was an annoying waste of time, since the Goa'uld would always back off.
-----------------------
Lindy
-----------------------
Huh. I wonder what the Asgard is doing. Let's see, tracing their course, and they're going- hand on a second. Wait, it seems I overlooked something. This is troubling. The information <Mom> had was inaccurate.
---------------------------
Thor
---------------------------
"I am Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet. Your presence here is a violation of the Protected Planets Treaty and you must withdraw immediately." Thor spoke to the Goa'uld.
"I am Zeus, master of the skies." The Goa'uld responded. Thor was glad that his facial expressions were virtually unreadable to humans and by extension these parasites. "You will not defeat me here."
"If you do not comply, I will be forced to open fire." Thor replied, his harsh tone only noticeable to people who knew him well.
"I suppose you will." Zeus laughed. "Go ahead, puny Asgard. I am a god, and gods cannot be defeated."
A plaintext message popped up on his console. "You need to move out of the line of fire. Move at least 500 km planetary north. Lindy Ezros."
"Very well." He said, and his hands danced across the console. Weapons sprung to life, and shots raced towards the central ha'tak.
Which promptly laughed off his fire. He was glad that he had closed the channel, otherwise that parasite would have been laughing at him. A request for a voice channel appeared on his console, from a tightbeam communication. It couldn't have been from the ha'taks. Thor accepted.
"This is Lindy Ezros of the Exiles. You need to get out of the line of fire from the Snowstorm around Adara II. It possesses sufficient firepower to destroy the ha'taks." The voice spoke in perfect Asgard, and was about as emotionally ranged as it was usually spoken. Thor could tell that the speaker was having a panic attack.
"Lindy, what are the Exiles doing in this system?" Thor asked, adjusted the shields.
"Thor, this is a trap to kidnap you. They are relying on the fact that you cannot abandon the research facility in this system to capture you. Now get out of the line of fire." A human might be able to tell that Lindy was only getting more nervous.
"Lindy, how did you-" Thor asked, puzzled.
"I am firing. Get out of the way." Lindy all but screamed at him. Or at least screaming in Asgard terms. A human would have likely not even noticed a change in their voices.
Thor grabbed the navigation stone and slammed it across the console, sending the ship hurtling away from the equator. He checked his sensors, and noticed the tens of thousands of gravity drive signatures burning away from the planet with the same regard for subtlety that accompanied a supernova. Before the missiles reached, tight particle beams slammed into the ha'taks, shattering their shields under enough firepower to plow through an O'Neill-class cruiser.
Moments later, the missiles reached the target zone and bracketed the expanding motherships with gigaton-yield explosions, destroying anything left.
------------------------------
Lindy
------------------------------
"Thor," Lindy said, quite shaken by how stubborn the Asgard had been. "Can you check the area where the ha'taks were for lifesigns?"
"I can." Thor said, quite freaked out. "Though I doubt there will be one."
"If there is one, don't beam it up." Lindy warned.
"I see." Thor said. "There is one lifesign in the area of the explosion." The Asgard said, stumped. "How did you know that?"
"Mom knows some Ascendeds." Technically true, but unrelated to how she knew. "That's Anubis, a Goa'uld who attempted to Ascend but got shut down. He's now an energy cloud that we're not sure how to kill. He was possessing Zeus and using his empire to prepare this. He wanted to extract your knowledge of Asgard technology. I only realized that Zeus was Anubis's puppet when I saw your hyperspace wake." All of that was technically true, and should explain most of that.
"So how do we get rid of him?" Thor asked, now slightly freaked out.
"We don't." Lindy said, taking a mental breath. "We grab the essentials from the lab, and then I set up the star to go nova. Nothing in the system, nothing for him to possess."
"Ah." Thor said, now completely freaked out. Lindy found a request to an open channel from Thor. She accepted, and switched to that from the tightbeam.
"Heimdall, Lindy says we need to evacuate the system." Thor said.
"I see." A new voice spoke up, apparently relieved at being rescued. "I will begin packing at once."
"How long will it take you?" Lindy asked. "I need to set up the nova."
"I would prefer to take pack several tools." Heimdall said. "It will take 73 minutes."
"I will have the nova ready in 28 minutes. I will need to leave for part of the prep." Lindy said, sending her chassis through a teleporter.
--------------------------
Thor
--------------------------
"I have stowed the critical materials." Thor told Heimdall. "I would like to assist you, but I cannot be sure that our ally will not go ahead and detonate the sun anyway."
"Very well." Heimdall replied. "How do you think she will detonate the star?"
"I am uncertain." Thor said. "However, I am expecting some sort of massive construct." He rolled his eyes. "Possibly with a spinning element, just for aesthetic purposes."
"I see." Heimdall noted, as Thor noticed the sounds of maintenance drones in the background.
-------------------------
Lindy
------------------------
"Nova is prepped." Lindy announced over the channel, startling the two Asgard. "We can start whenever you're ready."
"Thank you." Heimdall said, after recovering.
Lindy went to checking the rest of her sensor data, including preparing to yoink Zeus's upgraded ha'taks from his other worlds. She didn't know what upgrades they had, but they would probably be good.
Eventually, Thor's voice intruded into her work.
"We have fully prepared for the nova, and are ready to leave." Thor stated.
"Excellent." Lindy said. "Executing sequence." In the heliosphere of the star, a Stormfront deposited the sacrificial gate into near-solid plasma at the surface. The backwash from the ASM projection melted away three-quarters of the ship's health.
The gate, which was dialing at the drop, connected. A bubble of altered time expanded, making it barely into the star before it stopped.
"Well." Lindy said, "This is going to take a bit."
