Human Replicators

OOC OK, this nation is a puppet of Goa'uld Systems Lords, Cause I LOVE stargate tech. The Website is made by someone who plays here, so clap clap to you. I will be copying the first bit of history, but after a bit I just make it up. ALl in Italics is quoted from the Website.
Replicators are Sentinet Machines, Created by the Android Reese, who was rejected and lonly. However the people of her world feared these just as much. She taught them to defend themselves, defend her and make more of themselves. Unfortunately, she soon lost control of them as their numbers increased. While their programming was intact, protecting her, defending themselves and making more of themselves, these actions soon wiped out her civilisation. Horrified and depressed with no-one to interact with, Reese shut herself down while her 'toys' left the planet through means unknown (probably using the local Stargate).
An unknown time later, an Asgard exploration vessel beamed aboard several Replicators for study, utterly unaware of the dangers they faced. The Replicators learned from the very methods the Asgard used to keep them contained and countered them one by one. They first showed here their astonishing capacity for learning and 'evolution', constantly adapting to the latest technology used against them, improving it, then turning it back upon their enemies. Within a relatively short space of time, the Asgard were being overrun. They had grown overconfident in their ability solve their problems with technology, (technology the bugs rapidly turned back on the Asgard). Without a capacity to think outside this box, the Asgard were trapped in a doomed cycle of trying to outthink the bugs, the bugs assimilating the new technology and this being thrown back in their face. The Asgard, were loosing the war. Until the humans from Earth came onto the scene. SG1 once again showed its ability to find the Achilles heal of an enemy. For all their learning capacity, the Replicators were limited to a series of relatively predictable base programs. To replicate and incorporate more advanced technology. Using these two facts, SG1 was able to turn the war against the Asgard from a one sided loosing streak to more of a stalemate.
Not that long later, events would change for the worse though. SG1 in their exploration missions found Reese's planet her along with it, perfectly preserved. They re-activated her and found her highly paranoid, given to childish outbursts and illogical statements. No doubt artefacts of her inherent flaws combined with her persecution on her Homeworld. Nonetheless, Dr Daniel Jackson was able to solidify a bond with her, defending her rights as a sentient life form and not just a machine. While irrational and even attacking Jackson at one point, the two were able to generate a relationship, somewhat akin to a parent to child...which came abruptly to and end when she made a 'gift' of a Replicator to Daniel as a toy. Apparently suffering something akin to a nervous breakdown when she was informed of just how much chaos her 'toys' had made on the universe, and, thinking that the SGC was preparing to destroy her, she created another set of Replicators which then started to multiply and spread. General Hammond locked down the base and set the failsafe on the autodestruct, to destroy the entire base if they could not quickly contain the situation. A massive firefight ensured as Daniel tried to plead with Reese that there were other options and that the SGC did not relay want to kill her, but was only trying to survive. As it appeared he was about to make a breakthrough with her, with time till destruct running out...and the Replicators starting to break free of her control and act independently...Jack O'Neill fired upon and killed Reese. But not before she sent a signal to her 'toys', to shut themselves off. A furious Daniel commented that he should not have done what he did, Jack retorting that if he hadn't, Earth would have been doomed. The remains of Reese were transferred to the Asgard for further study, leading to the final showdown.
While even the Asgard were unable to salvage Reese, they were able to find out some interesting things. They also finally admitted that they had more or less lost the war against the Replicators. Unable to stop them or stop the spread of them in their current situation. They however were able to come up with a brilliant plan, to hopefully isolate the Replicators for long enough to come up with a final solution. All Replicators since the first generation made by Reese had several core commands built into them. One of them was to come forth to her. Using this, the Asgard set a trap on their Homeworld, the Replicators apparent primary goal. A time dilation field generator with a field radius of 0.2 light years, able to slow time by a factor of 10^4. The recall signal from Reese would be broadcasted everywhere the Asgard could reach, the Replicators would come to the planet and be trapped in the 'time bubble'. The time dilation device would be encased in a Neutronium shell, (ultra-massive degenerate matter from neutron stars). The Replicators in their timeframe would take a very long time to 'eat' through it and disable the device. However relative to the outside world, it may well take years, giving the Asgard time to effect a final solution. At least such was the theory.
Unfortunately, events would turn in an unexpected direction. The Replicators Reese created at the SGC, when they started to act on their own, sent her plans to their brethren across the Galaxy. Just before the Asgard could spring their trap but after they had lured them to their Homeworld, the Replicators there constructed 'First'. A very similar android, except one constructed of Replicator blocks so tiny that they qualified as nanomachines. In this form, 'First' was able to penetrate a microscopic flaw in the Neutronium armour and disable the time dilation device. The Asgard didn't have any way to rectify the situation.
So the Asgard called on the services of their 'bug extermination squad' with the newly complete X303. SG1 being the only unit they could call on that had fought and won against the Replicators. And the X303 being the only ship primitive enough to escape the Bugs noticed and get them to the planet intact. Even if this was a tough enough mission, First then re-engineered the device to *accelerate* time at a rate of 10^4 power within the bubble. The Replicators in a relative time to the rest of the universe of a few hours built themselves to such numbers that nothing was left on the planet bar the time distortion device...and a new planetary crust of Replicator blocks.
SG1 penetrated the time distortion field and landed, with an objective to fix the device. However they were confronted by First and four other Replicator Androids, 'Second' through 'Fifth'. They opened fire, however their weapons were utterly ineffective against these new Replicators. Apparently offering a hand in friendship, 'First' through 'Forth' stab their 'hand' (which is of course just a collection of nanite sized Replicator blocks) into the minds of Jack, Teal'c, Sam and Jonus, accessing their memories. Some time after, they all wake on the Promethesus. Jacks plan to detonate the hyperdrive and take out the time acceleration device is stoped by 'Fifth', who tells them happily that doing so will simply energise the Replicator blocks on the surface. 'Fith' then invites them for dinner with the others and 'First' tells them their only purpose is to be sources of information on the Galaxy they will soon take over, as a part of Natural Selection. 'Fifth' is unique, the first android who was made attempting to correct the inherently flaw in Reese that the Replicator androids all share. He is far more Human then the others and is willing to help them all escape, trapping the Replicators safely in the time bubble until the Asgard figure out a way to safely deactivate them. Jack is more then willing for this to happen, but in order to get clear, someone must stay behind to activate the device, as the second 'Fifth' leaves, the others will know. Further, the X303 will take a few minuets to be prepared for launch. A plan is hatched. SG1 will return to the X303 and prepare her for takeoff, then, at the last second, the far faster 'Fifth' will run and join them. Jonus and Teal'c power up Promethesus and Jack and Sam join him, leaving a minute later. Jack however has told Cater to set the device only for three minuets and as they reach the X303, they take off with only seconds left. Unaware of this, 'Fifth' is getting ready to leave when 'First', the other Androids and a number of standard Replicators arrive asking what he is doing. He claims SG1 had returned to their ship for 'rest'. 'First' points out that the Humans are getting away and he has been made a fool of. Still thinking that there is time, he turns to deactivate the timer, thinking there are two minuets left. Instead, he watches the final seconds count down, in shock, surprise and sadness commenting that 'she promised' as time slows to a relative crawl. As the X303 streaks away from the Asgard Homeworld, Jonus comments that Jack had used 'Fifths' humanity against him, the very thing that led him to help them in the first place. Almost 2 years later, The Azgard needed a more perminet Solution to finish off the Replicators, and thus Turned the star of the place they where imprisoned a Black hole. Teil'c and Carter appered in the System after a time, to try to contact the Azgard to help against the Goa'uld, who had sent a ship against Earth to test the power of the Ancient weaponry. After they arrived, their ship was destroied, just as they where beamed abord Thors ship, the Daniel Jackson, to wait out the Replicator destruction. Unfortunatly for them, the Replicators used the Time distortion device to Get free of the Hole, and enter hyper space to Orila, the New Azgard Home world. The ship was chased, and the 5 human replicators knew that the Azgard ship intended to destroy them in hyperspace. Thus he ordered One Replicator Spider that had escaped notice to slow the ship down. The Spider was destroied, but it saved the replicator ship. However, things turned for the worse when the ship was destroied seconds after exiting hyperspace, and the first 4 Human Replicators where Killed. 5th on the other hand surrvived, and managed to get all replicator blocks, as well as Major carter, to the planet surface, where he almost conquered the Azgard Planet, but failed, when the Azgard, with help from the Ancinet knowlage in Cornel O'Neils brain found a way to kill his kin. He gathered his forces, and fled, leaving major carter behind, due to a unknown emotion. His Forces dissapered, and after 10 years, attacked and stripmined a world under the Protected planets treaty, starting full scale war with the Azgard, Humans and Goa'uld, the end result the Goa'uld fleeing for there lives, taking as much as they could with them. The Replicators Strip mined Over 300 Planets, all looking as if it had been a orbital bombardment. After The Replicators had sufficient reasorses, they fled, not to other galaxies, in case their was more power for them to handle, but instead to a place between Them, where stars where not known. There, they made themselves a planet, one made of Replicator Blocks, and started to create more Human Replicators, each one more Human like then the last. 5th, who had renamed himself Theases, found all this infomation, and created himself and The One he had made of Carter the Ruler. THe People worked, mainly to make more, their reasorses coming in from thousands of Worlds that where being mined. His Forces grew, and soon his Human Replicators had the numbers of a nation, over 6 million, split, some male some female, all having major human traits. It was with this that Theases' was once again the first to feel a new feeling, the Thirst for Power.
Replicator Make up:
There are currently two different forms of Replicators that exist. The most known and prevalent form is that of a small 'block', approximately 4 X 2 X 0.5 cm. Each block is able to exert a 'reactive, modulating, monopolar energy field' on other blocks, pulling multiple blocks to come together. Each block is a fully functional Replicator. But in order to do any task, several blocks must work together. It is unknown what the minimal number of blocks needed to assume a form or 'do something' is. However one or two blocks are insufficient. The smallest form we have seen is the 'Bug', the small crab like form that was the original design of the Replicator Reese created. This form is fully capable of assimilating and mutating materials around it to form new Replicator blocks, as well as combining to form even larger constructs. The second type of Replicator is that of the five androids built on the Asgard Homeworld. They are also constructed of individual blocks, however they are constructed of countless numbers of blocks the size of nanites. Rather then large blocks with nanites built into them. These nanites collectively form a replica of an android like Reese, though with personalised appearances. This form may simply be homage to Reese or one they chose to use in dealing with Humans / Humanoids. We know 'First' was able to push through a tiny, microscopic flaw in a thick armoured shell shortly after being created, which clearly shows they can change shape. The nanites when put in physical contact with a person are able to somehow access the minds of these people. Either directly as a simple downland like a computer connection, or an interactive experience between the Replicator and target
