Re: Atlantis
The Klarnell seemed to think for a moment before replying.
"I would recommend our own cloaking, but I realize you may be loath to trust it, and to be honest, it's never been tested on your species. Based on the way it works, I can't promise it wouldn't cause temporary illness later on down the line. The Sodan in your galaxy, however have a type of cloaking device that still eludes the ability of our sensors to punch through and detect, so I might suggest those instead. As far as time, you have a little less than a month measured in your time units. After that, a singular anomaly opening won't be possible for another ten years or so. I have mapped out a few potential multi-anomaly paths, but those come with risks considering one of them would take you back in time enough to be dealing with creatures of Earth's past, while another would place you uncomfortably close to the Ori war you just fought not long ago."
He listened to her, nodding as she mentioned Zaleia likely not being the only mole.
"Yes, which is why we need the Tokra to survive. They have a technology in development, which I can help them complete, which would be able to detect an Ashrak the moment it steps foot on a planet. Anubis is aware they are on the verge of that breakthrough, and seeks to wipe them out before they can complete it and share it with you. As for killing Anubis, that may be slightly trickier than you think. He's caught somewhere halfway between a physical form and ascension. Killing his shell won't stop him, it will just free him to become anyone, anywhere."
To that Siphon snorted.
"Of course the others would fuck that up, and then leave us to clean up the mess. I'm getting real sick of cleaning up their shit, especially since this would be twice now they've caused a problem for us, and created interference with our plane of existence and then refused to clean it up on the grounds of non-interference. I'm guessing a Sangraal device won't work on him because he's not fully ascended?"
"Correct. You tried that already, it had no effect on him. When I left, he was attempting to create his own to wipe out the other Ancients so no one would be left to stop him."
To that Siphon blinked a few more times.
"Right. Probably best not to give him any kind of hints to it then."
Turning to Sho, the Klarnell spoke again.
"If we can keep the Tokra alive, and finish their device, Anubis won't risk trying the Ashrak approach, which means your sister will be spared whatever ordeal I imagine she would have gone through in my time line. Now that being said, there is another matter, one that may become more pressing depending on the time frame this takes. It is something I am ... loathe to share partly due to knowing you won't like it, but I feel it would be ... impolite of me not to mention it. Due to our physiology, and an imbalance in chemicals within our bodies that occurs roughly every year ... well, I'm sure you are aware that certain animals on Earth enter heat as you call it? Our species undergoes a similar thing, only in our case, failure to do so results in either the death of the subject in question, or the complete insanity causing them to become violent and attack anything. We call it the blood rage. Before you ask, no, our resistance doesn't take anyone by force. We have developed realistic hologram technology in our time period which allows us to deal with this issue, however the technological devices couldn't be brought with me. Now fortunately, I still have another ten months before that. However if we have not found a way of ending this war, and solving our own species issues before then, I will be forced to either return to my own time, which could cause some issues, or you may be forced to kill me. I refuse to lose my mind and become like the others, and I doubt greatly there would be any volunteers. And before you ask, the likelyhood of duplicating that kind of technology for holograms in that short a time frame is ... unlikely at best. If it comes down to it, I must ask you now to ensure I do not devolve into a savage."
This time there was no hesitation from Siphon as he looked right at the Klarnell and replied, "done. I give you my word if it comes to that, you won't get that far."
Aya looked at her, trying to keep a straight face for a moment before failing miserably.
"Alright, deal. You said your other sister had similar abilities to my own? Hmm, I wonder how many of your species share the same mutation then? How effective was our process? To be honest, I never expected the chance to revisit your world, to see what kind of life came to be after our departure."
