Shipping It Stargate Style [Worm/Stargate]

They do still need fuel; the Odyssey used up all of its fuel, plus the giant plasma-blast that was supposed to kill them, to power the decades-long temporal expansion, and then the temporal reversion that sent T'ealc back. Odyssey-Taylor is supposed to be running on fumes at this point.
What it does is worse: Leviathan targets port cities and coastlines. If you've never seen an active port before, there are usually huge volumes of trade goods sitting at ports and in warehouses near ports waiting for ships, much more than is actually on the water at any given time. The impact of a Leviathan is that all of those goods' insurance is going to skyrocket, to the point where train shipping is going to be the preferred way to get packages to and from most areas and regions will need to be more self-reliant. It wouldn't be the end of civilization as faerie-Carter suggests, but it would seriously set back Earth Bet's economic growth.

Could you point to that reference? Because I don't remember that bit and my searches on the wiki aren't turning up anything.
I just remember Carter mentioning that Naquadah doesn't occur naturally in the Solar System from the episode "Fail Safe".
Edit: It's Teal'c that mentions it, not Carter.
Fail Safe
"Fail Safe" is the seventeenth episode of the fifth season of Stargate SG-1. An asteroid is on a collision course for Earth. The Asgard can't help, and the Tok'ra are hard to find, so they return to Revanna to repair a Tel'tak, and SG-1 could deliver a Nuclear warhead to destroy it. However...stargate.fandom.com
If I remember correctly it's in the first movie

I can't wait for Sam to cut whatever tinker they run across first to shreds for not really understanding their tech and not being allowed to claim intelligence for being able to follow super advanced instructions. Or for any real interactions of SG1 with some of the shit that happens in Worm
Also a Ship Girl based question, can Taylor like bring out the human scale weapons she has in her armory and use those? Also how does the beaming tech work in this new situation?

Well, found Wog about this, anyway this has nothing to do with forming of a Boat Graveyard.

Odyssee Taylor had everything refueled,probable the work of a sneaky Ascended,before they thrown the extra Odyssee out of the universe.
Right; the Ship Graveyard in Worm was supposed to be because the Dockworkers Union sank a bunch of ships in the mouth of the Bay during a work action and killed the shipping industry for the whole city. Which is pure BS; cutting up a ship and dredging a harbor is expensive, but not that expensive relative to the loss of revenue a city would suffer from no longer having a port. Also, a labor action wouldn't put people on a container ship out on the Bay; what would be the point? Strikes have people picketing in public places, not out in the middle of the damn ocean.

Welcome to badly thought-out ideas. Either the Dockworkers or Wildbows.
I on the other hand suspect Cauldron shenanigans in preparation for their " Experiment ".

Thank you
So quick question will we be seeing anything else from Stargate in the wider galaxy in Earth Bet or is it just shipgirl Taylor for now?
On further review, I was wrong about this. I forgot how much bullshit Taylodyssey was granted during her merge:
So no need to refuel for... awhile. That full ZPM should be enough to run the hyperdrive at full power for a century by itself.
Although, why are they using Naquadriah for their generators? I thought SG-Earth tried that on the first X302-sized hyperdrive, had it fail rather badly, and gave up on using Naquadriah for starship power generation as it was fundamentally too unstable to provide a steady power flow, deciding to stick with next-gen Naquadah reactors instead. Naquadriah was, IIRC, deemed to unstable and volatile to be used in anything but weapons, specifically enhanced nukes.

Thanks for update!
The Taylor/Odyssey distinction is a bit off-putting in this perspective. Also Taylor started by defining her Earth as Earth Bet, yet later used 'Taylor's'. I think this fragment needs a bit of rework.

She's a shipgirl. She will likely need to dump pure capiscan onto hot peppers to get food spicy enough, but eating refules a shipgirl's fuel and munitions.

I forget the exact statistics, but doesn't like, 80%+ of humanity live within 200 miles of a coastline? Give Levi enough time to build up, and he could literally end humanity with big enough tidal waves. not to mention wreck the global biosphere by displacing that much seawater and devastating land-based ecosystems.

And so my evil plan to have you reread my fic continues, mua ha ha
But yeah, 2020 kinda kicked my ass IRL so hard I'm still picking up the pieces.
Challenged accepted!
Praise the squirrel!
Thanks, and me too.
You're welcome! ^_^
...I mean
This
Naquadah was, despite what Teal'c and the Tau'ri believed, native to Sol. But Sol has been strip mined by not one but two Alteran civilizations and Ra, so... yeah.
Two things may be occurring here; Taylor is an unreliable narrator even with Odyssey shoring her up, but also fuck Canon, long live Fanon, because at least the latter makes sense.
Up to you all to decide which it is ;P
I was confused for a minute and thought this was the Reaper one. I wasn't expecting this to update; I think it has been even longer.
Awesome, though, because I've been waiting... apparently a bit too patiently if I forgot about it this badly!
The whole "inhabited ship-person" thing is still pretty much unique to this story, by the way, which is interesting. I wonder what happens if her crew are injured or die of old age (not sure how old they are, but some of them are described that way). For some stories the crew respawn and other times new ones appear. Considering that here her crew is unique she might end up crippled instead... 😬
I dunno if you take suggestions, but I'd love to see I Am Ziz, Fourth, and Ancient Legos update soon too.
Thanks! Harbinger of Love is also fun to write, should get more of that soon too ^_^
Yeah, I noticed that very few other shipgirl fics even involve the crew, much less give them concrete personalities. Off the top of my head, only the insanity that is Georgia's author has done so.
Shipgirls can resummon their crew, so at least while SG-1 is on board her and she's still intact they should be effectively immortal. If they somehow manage to leave Odyssey, though...
I Am Ziz is on the backburner, unfortunately. However, Fourth and Ancient Legos are very close to a posting spree.
Maybe, possibly, probably, but there's all these politicians in the way...
Exactly. Or maybe not, who knows?!?!?! trolling author noises
Odyssey is still running mostly on her own computers, which are admittedly fuck you levels compared to even our theoretical models. Once she manages to figure out how to actually use the Asgard Core as part of her, though... hoo boy.
Hugs!
Thanks! I may have watched SG-1 and Atlantis through... 38 times in my life now but it's always good to hear I'm writing them correctly!
Indeed! And you're welcome!
Not the one you knew you needed, but the one you all deserved.
Hey look, Taylor already has a super move: The Kzinti Lesson Kick!
Pfft- okay, you made me snort my hot chocolate, have a fucking cookie you madman.
Taylor in canon is a much worse unreliable narrator.
Also, so is the author. And the world itself.
Sam is the ultimate science witch of the Tau'ri and she's coming for those knockoff Clarketech gizmos the second she studies one.
And just wait till they meet some of the leaders of Earth Bet. cackles
She can indeed utilize anything in her armory. As for the beaming tech... spoilers, sweetie.
Taylor will be running off that one full ZPM until after Sol goes supergiant xD
Daedalus BCs use somewhat "stable" Naquadriah for their power generators. Except the Odyssey, which uses Asgard NIGs on top of them.
You're welcome!
It's supposed to be offputting. Taylor/Odyssey now has two identities, two homeworlds, and two... or maybe more, wink wink, universes to deal with and is, as anyone else would, having trouble keeping them straight in her own head. The fact this segment weirds you out tells me I've done my job of transmitting the in character feelings up to our layer of reality and into your eyes ^_^
Capsaicin? Where we're going, we need FOOF.
The percentage of us by a coastline is really high, yeah. The fact Levi hasn't done more damage to Bet is indicative of just how much he's holding back.
EDIT: Missed a couple of you, sorry!
WALTER! CLOSE THE IRIS!
The plan continues once more
Yes, you can. I already have part of the next chapter written and all of it planned out.
There is nothing else from Stargate in this universe. It's just Odyssey!Taylor and SG-1 for now.

I could have sworn there was a line somewhere in that post about her possibly dealing with more than just those two universes in her future. I can't find it now, but if there was it reminds me of that one story where Taylor ends up in Star Trek as a shipgirl, and back home their new ships start sprouting baby avatars...
It would be hilarious if that physics set starts leaking over and the Boat Graveyard promptly incarnates before kicking the crap out of Leviathan. Although they'd probably be Abyssals, so this may not help once he's gone.
Although considering that we're talking about shipgirl crews here, it might be "desu ex machina" instead...
We might actually have naquedah here, assuming that's a function of physics but that Bet didn't have the civilizations of SG...
I think the Tinkers might similarly start ranting if they can make bullshit supertech out of what's basically magic given physical form. Stargate seems to run entirely on Sufficiently Analyzed Magic as far as Clarke's Law goes, considering how many energy beings and psychic powers they have, so this could be fun going the other way.
More seriously, she's going to eat the Internet in the first microsecond, and then everyone's going to have to deal with Big Sister watching them.
Everyone is going to promptly do the headless chicken impression. It will be glorious.
How many hours long IS that show?!
I kid, really. I'm still shocked, but it does explain how you can come up with such a convoluted multi-setting plot like this. I may have to try that now and see if it works for me...
Well, I need to watch that show the first time, but otherwise I'll get there eventually...

I know the feeling.
I think you just redefined "Deus ex machina."This
Although considering that we're talking about shipgirl crews here, it might be "desu ex machina" instead...
So does that mean that THIS earth still has it, or was that an innate function of the physics subset in the other universe and it doesn't exist here? Since in Legos Weldon mentions that it's an element it might be here too...

I'm still not sure if the author is the one that's insane there, but since she's partially a SI this may be true.

There's obsession, and then there's whatever this is. I didn't even know that was possible.

This rant shall go down in the history books.
Or maybe THAT rant will go down in the history books.
Weren't there a bunch of times that the SG1 crew used one up? I guess those must have been really close to empty.
We're in Worm. I think that's a given regardless of how spicy you want your food...

There were a couple of times that we see some used from Full all the way to empty, but most of the time we see other issues pop up instead.
The time that everyone remembers is when Jack used the Ancient Drone platform, but that didn't run out the ZPM, that ran out the drones.
Three ZPMS were used from full to Empty to keep Atlantis from being destroyed, but that was keeping life support and a giant fucking shield up for near the full length of human history.

Yeah, a Sam with years of messing with advanced tech, and however long stuck on a boat with the sum total of all info the Asgard possessed (including what they cribbed off of the Ancients and other friendly/encountered species) combined with Taylor's brain spiritually overlapping several 'supercomputers' (including said Asgard Core)... say hello to the new world's greatest Tinker/Thinker, Earth Bet!
Ignore her structural composition, shielding and engines contributing to her frankly BS Brute and Mover ratings, and weaponry contributing to her blaster ratings and her onboard fighter compliment to her 'dinky' Master rating....
Taylor very much is BS rating Yes, with just her thinker/tinker potential, catastrophically Oh Dear God with everything else taken into account. Really, it's the mind bending abilities (Such as phasing weapons, invulnerable reality shearing projections and super hackers/masters) she has to worry about.
Oh, and Endbringers and Scion.
So overpowered? For BB, but not quite for Bet or Worm overall. At least until Sam builds a pair of Stargates, and locates the Earth Scion resides on and the nearest supermassive Black Hole. Because it's Sam, and that's how she deals with problems (otherwise known as overwhelming threats).
Edit: Also, love the duality of her identity. She is both Odyssey and Taylor, and for all that they are meshed, they are different. I expect it will be some time until they integrate into a proper balance.
