Chapter 15

Three days later

Leo stood in front of a press conference of over a hundred reporters, all eager to hear the new announcement that was happening today. With Leo’s track history they knew, when he talked and walked, the world listened and moved. Today’s press conference was being held at the ‘Lionheart Group HQ’, in their main conference hall. As everything was ready Leo began.

“Ladies and gentlemen thank you all for coming. I am Leo Miller, founder and CEO of the ‘Lionheart Group’. Today I am here to announce something that many have also announced but I am doing something much, much more. Today I am announcing that we have started a new branch of our Technologies Division. Today I hereby announce the start of Lionheart Space, with this new announcement come with many new and exciting things.

First off Lionheart Space will develop the world’s first interstellar ship. Combined with exciting new technology developed by all of our affiliates. Second is that with this ship we will begin recruitment of a team of engineers, technicians, and scientists as well to crew these new ships. Lastly we will also be developing colonization equipment for places like Mars, Venus, and the moon. Today I am here to promise these things… to take humanity into the real space age, in five years.”

As the words left his lips scores of reporters sprang up with questions, camera flashed, and security had to earn their pay. That day humanity changed and Leo Miller became the most powerful man in the world.

For the next five years the world would scramble on its feet to meet the demand for raw materials that Leo needed. Leo decided that he would not make just one little ship, instead with the remaining ZPMs he decided make two whole capital class ships with two ZPMs in each. Thankfully with the beaming technology installed in Eden he could fabricate duplicate versions of Eden with enough materials, which was what he was planning on first.

The way beaming technology worked was a marvel to those who saw it. In essence it allowed for bonding of elements at a molecular level. This was especially important when it came to structure and durability. However the beaming technology could only rearrange molecules, not restructure them. So all metals would remain the same, however he had the ability to make alloys. Through this new ability he was now able to make the most powerful alloy on earth, considering the lack of denser metals and more advanced alloys.

Leo considered the production of the ships to be not a big deal since with Eden, he not had access to time dilation technology. Although he couldn’t make advanced ones he could make basic ones. With the help of Eden their capability ended up being that it could slow time by a half, giving him twice as much time in a contained space. Combining the replicators that he had hidden away with this time dilation technology, he had a fearsome combination of miners, builders, and army.

With the replicators in charge of building they would take the alloys and build them into the future ships. Before this though they would need a lot more replicators. The replicators were all moved under the warehouse where Eden was given to Leo. Under the warehouse was a large storage of metals that they needed to swell their ranks. After a few weeks they had enough to begin construction on the two capital ships, which would aptly be named, ‘The Atlas’ and ‘The Prometheus’.

With the new technology came one problem, energy. All the new technologies required more advanced power generation in massive proportions. The beaming technology required a lot of energy, so much that if it tapped into any power grid on the planet it would cause massive power shortages. Luckily for them they had some ZPMs. With the beaming technology combined with the building ability of the replicators they were able build an efficient antimatter power generator. It took five of them to meet the energy requirements of the time dilation fields.

With the introduction of the new antimatter generators they now had a way to power their ships, along with their new weapons. The capital ships of two separate design, one was supposed to be a carrier, designed to carry drones, not the ones like the US military but advanced ones. These drones were similar to the drones from Atlantis, except for small differences. First being that weren’t projectile weapons, as in they didn’t kamikaze into enemies until necessary. Second was that they shot very basic laser beams, strong enough to melt steel. Lastly was that they were each half the size of fighter jets and twice as mobile and fast.

Aside from drones the ships were built with new weapons technology as well. The D-33 Missile Launchers were created with the ability to fire different missiles through the same tube. Missiles had multiple payloads, explosive, puncture, and replicators. Next were C-3 Railguns, designed to fire 400 rounds a minute, with each round traveled at a speed of Mach 6. Then there were the Plasma Beams, each required the power of six antimatter generators and took some time to charge up before it could be used. Lastly there was the development of shield emitters, truthfully though it was a rudimentary version of Asgard Shielding Technology.

The Prometheus spanned the length of 1500 meters, 500 meters wide and 400 meters tall. It was also equipped with personnel transport, drone bays, shield emitters, 12 rail guns and 2 Plasma Beams. In the ship drone bay five hundred drones awaited instruction while the personnel transport would be able to carry a total of 2400 colonist as well. The colonization tech that was going to be used was planned to be three fold. First was replicators building shelters out of materials they brought along, second was to build infrastructure depending on the planet, and lastly was to start production of raw materials through the use of replicators. With this he’d be able to secure a solid foot hold on the planet they planned on colonizing.

While Prometheus was the carrier, bringing fire and destruction to whoever stood in the way of the Atlas. The Atlas was the flagship, designed with thicker armor and bigger guns. The Atlas was the length of 2100 meters long and 600 meters wide, and almost 400 meters tall. The new flagship would be equipped with three shield emitters, 22 D-33 Missile Launchers, 42 Railguns, and 10 Plasma Beams. The Atlas would require almost 2000 people to crew, and several metric tons of supplies to keep them all happy. Lucky for them that the trip would only take a few days and that the colonies to begin producing food.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathaniel stood at the forward deck of the Atlas, in just five short years they had built two capital class starships. Each one costing easily in the trillions, luckily they were well funded. Those who were around him were the original security detail who joined Leo that day five years ago. They all decided in the end to join Leo, on his crusade to build an empire and save all of existence. They were the first to be inducted into the Lion Guard. As they stood there reminiscing about forgotten days they finally realized that the day had come.

“Who’d a thought that the disabled guys would end up fighting aliens and saving the multiverse?” His second in command Guy Fisk joked. Nathaniel laughed at the short stocky man, over the last seven years they all became dedicated to each other and to the cause.

Three years ago Leo informed them on what the future would possibly hold. First was going to the Starcraft universe, a place where war and veteran soldiers were common. Their technology and contact with the Protoss would be invaluable, along with the Terran technology. Leo’s biggest fear was the Zerg, he’d hoped he would be able to partake a peace treaty with Kerrigan but he had back up plans in play if things didn’t work out.

“So the first dimension were visiting has other humans huh?” one of the guys asked.

“Yeah but they’re kinda like Australia, sent all the convicts there. Then they decide to start their own space empire.” The guy next to him said.

Over the last few weeks every crew member and colonist was instructed to research their new home. Having already been prepped in the information they began formulating plans on how to create worlds for them to colonize in such a hostile universe. The answer came in the form of the time dilation devices. With enough power they could fast forward time for a split moment and have a millennia pass. The only problem Leo had with this plan was that it would require the loss of one of their precious ZPM.

“Hey boys!” Leo said as he walked into the forward deck.

“Leo! Glad you could make it.” Guy said.

“Like I would miss this!?” Leo exclaimed.

Today the Lion Guard would be having a celebratory toast in honor of their life on Earth. After tomorrow where the ships would take off, it was unlikely that they would ever return. That night they partied hard and Leo paid for it all. Tomorrow would be the launch of ‘The Atlas’ and ‘The Prometheus’. Leo was expecting a heavy turnout as he would be streaming from the bridge of the Atlas. As they partied the night away without worry, Leo and Nathaniel sat up passing what remained of the liquor back and forth.

“So Boss when you gonna propose to that sweet thing?” Nathaniel drunkenly asked.

“Hah! I was just thinking about *hic* it! Relax, I have a plan… Just don’t steal her from me!” Leo drunkenly replied.

“Never!” Nate said with a bad burp of alcohol breath, and like that the two passed out.

Three hours later they were all woken up and went to their quarters to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.

That morning at a press conference two miles from the takeoff site, stood Leo, Sadia, Sara, Nathaniel, Guy, and Michael. All of them but Michael were dressed in complete white uniforms with gold colored trimmings. As Leo took to the stage he announced that he’d signed over all of the Lionheart Group to Michael for the duration of ten years, when he returned the group would return to him as well. Next was that the ships would be out of contact for at least a year, seeing how they had sublight engines but not sublight communications. (Which Leo purposefully hid from the public) After which he said that one day he’d return, and bring the humanity back out with him.

Two hours later, on Board the Atlas.

“Eden, how are we on schedule?” Leo asked as he sat down on his control chair.

*All proceedings are on time, Take off will begin in three minutes.* The computer said.

“Open a comm channel to the Prometheus.” Leo told the Comms Officer

The Comms Officer was a blonde girl names Hayley who responded, “Comm Channel Open.”

Nodding to her Leo spoke, “This is Leo to Sadia, do you read me?”

On the other end Sadia’s voice was clear as a bell. “This is Sadia, what is it Leo?” she asked with a worried tone.

“Nothing wrong, just wondering how your preparations are going.” Leo said to her.

Letting out a small sigh of relief, “Preparations are on schedule, energy levels are green, pilots are ready, weapons are under stealth, and the dimensional engine has been linked to the Atlas.” She announced proudly.

Smiling at the proud Sadia, Leo responded, “That’s great news, once we take off and make it past the moon and enter hyperspace out past the moon we’ll jump.”

“I know Leo, we’ve gone through this already.” She exasperated.

“Good, see you on the other side.” He said as he motioned for Comms Officer Hayley to cut the connection.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“This is Trisha Nakamura reporting live from the takeoff site of the Atlas and the Prometheus. In just a few moments the two ships will rise from the ground where they’ve been hiding for the last five years. Nobody in the last five years has been able to sneak a glimpse, let alone get a picture out to the public. It seems that the time for the secret ships to come out has come.” She said into her microphone.

As her words ended the ground began to shake, in the distance to as far as far as the eyes could see the land seemed to open up. Some were afraid it was an earthquake, but as time went by the ground opened up more and more. Out of this massive hole, came the first ship, the Prometheus. Rising from the ground was the largest ship ever seen in human history. Slowly with its loud hum of antigrav and sublight thrusters, it slowly left the ground and reached the clouds.

As the Prometheus reach the clouds another ship came out from down under. The Atlas, rising from the ground was larger than the Prometheus! People around the world couldn’t believe that such a thing was possible. As the massive ships rose into the sky and left earth behind, all people could feel is a sense of accomplishment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sir, we’ve reached the jump point.” Navigation Officer Simon reported to Leo.

“Good, open a channel to the Prometheus and the Atlas..”

“Channel Open.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached our first point. We are about to take the first step into a new reality, all for a better future. Before all that, I just want to thank all of you, for supporting me. Without all of you this would still be a dream. Thank you.” Leo said as he cut the comm line.

“Eden, set a jump point in the Starcraft Universe. Post-brood war set one year after the retreat of the UED. Near the Umojian Protectorate.”

*Dimensional Jump Ready at your command*

“5…4….3….2….1…..MARK!” Leo commanded.

And like that the two capital class ships disappeared, from one dimension to the next.
