Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 6:38 pm
This is a little RP relating to my recent race change.
Do not feel obliged to read or reply, and if a mod sees fit to move, do so at your discretion.
Chapter 17. "Preface to Altera-tion"
Log Entry; Jordan Sullivan, Alteran.
[spoiler]**Location: Captain's Lounge on Cityship Evenor in orbit around the ice planet Tsalvir Eight**
**Date: March 8th, 2009, 0800**
**Jordan Sullivan recording**
**Participants: Jordan Sullivan (J) -Seventh Reincarnation of Cthulhu's Quaternary Form-, Hermocrates (H) -Commander of Evenor-, Timaeus (T) -Captain of the Heraklion- and an unknown, cloaked and hooded figure, (Q) of towering stature though bent as if age pulled him closer to the ground.**
**Issues for discussion: Operation "Altera-tion", "Space Opera" and "Outcast".**
*Jordan Sullivan opens the floor for first issue debate, Operation "Altera-tion".*
(J): Let us review the preparations for "Altera-tion" one last time, comrades.
(H): Aye. You will activate the chambers at 0900, ascend at 0901, and have your ascended being transformed into the snake-form creature known as Goa'uld. We will then revive your body's clone and implant it with the Goa'uld. The process was tested and proven effective on lower beings, and should cover the small step towards Alterans easily.
(T): I still think this is a bad.. bad idea.
(Q): *speaking with a slight hissing but deep voice* You have no will or ssay in the matter, Timaeuss.
(J): So Hermocrates, the chambers are prepared for a cold boot? Completely ready?
(H): Ready as can be. We have nothing on long-range sensors, nothing on the planet below us yet, and there are no signs of that situation changing anytime soon.
(T): Oh, but that part I like, "Space Opera".. my favourite!
(H): Okay. We know that, Tim. No need to repeat it at every meeting, old friend.
(Q): I fail to ssee why you would want to terraform that lifelesss lump of ice and rock beneath uss, but if it convincess you to go through with the other stepss, I will continue to ssupport the idea.
(J): All well and good, but we're not discussing "Space Opera" yet. That is part 2 of this meeting. For now, we need only be concerned with the first stages of the process.
*Jordan calls up a viewscreen from the floor. As it activates, we see a camera overview of the Science Wing of Evenor, with three chambers lighting up like a christmas tree.*
(J): Okay, so I teleport in here, *points at screen* and activate the chambers. Then I ascend while inside chamber 1.
(H): Chamber 1 device captures your ascended essence and transports it to chamber 2. Chamber 2 device imbues the construct-Goa'uld with your ascended being, creating a Goa'uld with your own personality. We are not sure about the changes that will occur to your character during the process.
(Q): The Goa'uld iss then transsported by hand to Chamber 3, where device will activate your body clone. We have confirmed full vitality in the clone. The resstrictionss on the Goa'uld will be lifted, and it will merge with the body clone that iss presented as itss.. I do apologise.. your hosst.
(J): That should complete the change. I will be able to use our regular Ancient technology.
(Q): As long as your body remainss Alteran, even if cloned, you will be in full control of every Ancient technology you can lay handss upon.
(J): Comforting. At least it'll carry the scent of home. We will review and execute operation "Space Opera" directly after the change is complete.
(H): Agreed. You can close this meeting.

**Start record, Jordan Sullivan. Final moments as an Alteran.**
(J): This is it. The end of the line for this form. Time to move on!
(H): Oh, irony.
(Q): You will come out of this sstronger as you could ever have become as an Alteran.
(T): How would you know? Who are you anyway?
(H): He is.. our advisor.
(J): One of the Old Ones. If you see something move in the corner of your eye, it is him. Or you have a visual disorder.
(Q): Old Oness, yes.. but not as old as this Jordan Sullivan.
(J): Okay, so are we ready across the board?
(H), T, Q: Standing by.
(J): Activating chambers.
*teleports to chamber 1*
(J): Ascending.

(H): Is it alive?
(Q): Yes. Rise, Lady Sullivan.
(T): Oh. My. God.
(J): Jordan Sullivan clone active, operating under override procedure Tri-Beta-Six-Q, alien presence det.. detec.. det.. *stutters and stops speaking*
(T): Oh. My. God.
(J): *eyes flash*
*(H), Q and T fall to their knees involuntarily*
(J): Rise, councilors. Rise.
(T): Oh. My. Go-ho.. Goddess.
(H): I think congratulations are in order, milady?
(J): Your attempt at flattery is unremarkable, Alteran.
(Q): Success! My Goddess, you are truly amazing.
(J): Your perspective is not sufficiently advanced to properly assess my amazingness. *smiles* Faithful advisor.

(H): Wow.
(J): And there are those who speak of 'False' Gods. Surely one who can bring abundant life to a dead planet is more than worthy of the title of god.
(H): Of course you are right, milady.
(J): Start creating our palace and basic planetary defences. I want this planet up and running by the time the galaxy finds out what happened.

Summary:
I (Jordan Sullivan) become a Goa'uld through imbuing my new ascended essence into the creature, am I am subsequently merged with an Alteran clone of Jordan Sullivan to the System Lord Jordan Sullivan.
Contrary to some ignoramuses' opinions, I do not become the host but the Goa'uld.
Now if you will excuse me, I have some enemies to show the deeper meaning of fighting a System Lord.
