The jumper entered earth's atmosphere and headed towards one of the many cities of Earth ,they were heading to the council building of the five great races , the tallest building in the city ,Tomin was looking at the view of the truly magnificent city,that stretched out before him, incredible buildings and gardens , roads with cars and beautiful bridges , flying cars in the air and mag lift trains could be clearly seen , people in great numbers going about their day .
Tomin could clearly see the technological superiority of the Tau'ri, that showed in every aspect of the large city, a city that's population numbered in the millions.
The jumper was heading towards the tallest building in the city, the council chambers of the Tau'ri high council, and the embassy of the five great races .
The jumper came to rest in the landing area Of the building ,situated on the one hundred and fifty'th floor, fifty floors below the top of the building .
Upon exiting the jumper the Tau'ri ambassador Herbert Braxton showed Tomin , doctor Jackson, Vala and commander Stackhold to the council chambers of the five great races, on the top floor of the building .
The elevator doors opened on the two hundred'th floor ,and they were met by two guards ,who opened the doors to the council chambers ,allowing them to enter.
Tomin was absolutely amazed by the building, he had never seen a building so large , the architectural design and grandeur of the building were magnificent, the attention to detail was beyond anything he thought possible,he found it hard belive that it was built by mortal beings.
Everything he had seen of the Tau'ri since leaving Celestis ,showed how advanced they truly were .
Tomin could see five beings ,sitting in the council chambers on a raised dais ,a sense of peace and wisdom was emanating from them , a feeling that made him feel relaxed .
A man who sat in the middle of the group upon the dais stood up.
" Welcome Tomin ,please come forward and take a seat , I am Henry Hayes the president of the Tau'ri " he said before returning to his seat .
" Greetings Tomin I am Odin President of the Asgard " Odin said before retaking his seat.
" I am Zamel of the ascended Furling , and it is a pleasure to meet you Tomin " he said before sitting down again in his seat.
" welcome Tomin I am Ohper leader of the Nox "he said before sitting down again.
" Hello Tomin to is nice to meet you , I am Aurelia of the ascended Alterans " she said and then sat down again.
" We are the high council of the five great races , and we will do all that we can to aid you and your people , " said Henry Hayes.
" Tomin please tell us what you know, about the disease that is affecting your people " asked Odin of the Asgard.
" The disease started a year ago , it was first noticed in a farming community , it starts out with a fever and chills ,and after two days the disease attacks the lungs and the patient slips into a coma , the internal organs start to fail and the cells membranes break down , the patient drowns in their own blood and dies , the disease is spreading among my people ,across every world we inhabit within our galaxy , we have tried everything we can to cure the disease to no avail" said Tomin.
" Tomin it is our hope that you and your people would join the united federation of worlds, and share in the benefits of trade and economic prosperity , we wish to have you as a permanent ally of the five great races , our ambassador Herbert Braxton,has informed us that your people are in need of assistance in the area of understanding ,the technology that was left behind by the Ori , we will help you with this issue and advance your people , a lasting peace between us is in all our best interests "said president Hayes.
Aurelia of the ascended Alterans then stood and looked at Tomin.
" As you know the Ori and my people are originally of the same race , we seeded this galaxy with human life just as the Ori did in your galaxy , your people are the same as the Tau'ri , I propose that we the ascended Alterans ,advance you as we did with your brothers and sisters the Tau'ri , if you and your people agree , you can be evolutionarily advanced and enhanced just like the Tau'ri, that would mean that you will become Tau'ri , Either way we will eradicate the disease that is afflicting your people.
If you and your people decide that you do not wish to become Tau'ri , then we will eliminate the disease ,and overtime educate your people ,and eventually you will evolve to be like the Tau'ri , but that will take thousands of years, if you choose to become one with your brothers and sisters, instead of taking thousands of years for you to reach the same evolutionary level as them ,this could be achieved in a matter of days, either way we will help you ,the decision is yours to make.
Will you become one with your brothers and sisters ,or will you take the slow path of evolution" said Aurelia.
Tomin was shocked by what Aurelia proposed ,he had never thought it would be possible for his people to be given the opportunity to become like the people of earth, after all that they had done in the past in the name of the Ori .
" I am truly honored that you are willing to do this for my people " said Tomin.
" The Ori lied to you and your people , they promised you ascension, but lead you down a path that made ascension impossible for you to obtain, if you become Tau'ri then just like your brothers and sisters of the Tau'ri, your lifespans will be increased to around two thousand years , when a person of the Tau'ri dies they ascend " explained Aurelia.
" You have a decision to make Tomin " said Odin .
