You beat Ba'al in a game of billiards? That must have taken some balls, no pun intended.
*Shoots eight ball in corner pocket.*
Well, I'd say that's the best shot I've made all night...
Nah, I sold him the Earth for free dental and a position in his government. First Prime Teal'c took a liking to me after my tactical insights halved casualty rates and tripled the effectiveness of the Jaffa, and so I got recommended for a top position. Sovereign Ba'al saw my resume, and decided to make me his Grand Vizier.
It's a tough, busy job, but oh so rewarding.
Hail Ba'al!

Interesting how this Earth is different from the one I know. Probably one of those situations where a system was duplicated or something. Starfleet's been interested in things like this since we learned of the Preservers.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Eh, I say it's juat interesting how God decided to make/place things. You know that's there's another planet just like ours a couple hundred thousand light years off, but it seems to be powered by steam and ghosts...

You mean how "Ba'al" decided to make/place things, don't you?

Steam ang Ghosts... odd... then again... I did read a report about another Earth variant that was in the late 20th century... and there was apparently this group of, for lack of a better term, Superhero Cheerleaders fighting aliens in Japan.

And what is our God's name*?

Okaaaaayyyyy..... I may use Ba'al in place of God for expletives, buuuuut... I don't actually think he created the damn Universe and Multiverse. I don't think he himself created humanity. Maybe other species were the product of Goa'uld interference, but early humanity isn't.
*Looks around at angry faces.*
Is now a good time to mention I'm not technically part of the Minions of Ba'al(tm)?

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.

And SG-1 canon says that the Ancients, a bunch of human-like beings from another galaxy, created humanity, likely while stoned.)
IC:
Of course Ba'al didn't create humanity, he just rules it!
The Ancients can be blamed for CREATING humanity.
As for the universe...there was this thing called the Big Bang.

OOC: I assumed there was something in SG lore for humanity. The Ancients probably didn't create humanity though, it was just a sort of de-evolution after their failure.
If were talking personal beliefs, you could say that I'm an open minded creationist. Who would have been burned in the 1600s as a heretic by the Pilgrims.
IC:
Eh, let's stear clear of this topic from now on...

A more...thoughtful look at the evidence suggests that the Ancients and the Ori were two parts of a slaver empire that split over doctrinal differences, and we humans are their slaves, with Wraith and Asurans being attempts at living weapons and the System Lords being some Ancient researcher's pet project that they screwed around with while stoned.
Because, frankly, Stargate canon with regard to the Ancients makes no sense.
And 99% of the country would've been burned by those Puritan nuts. You'd have to be part of the WBC to please the Pilgrims.)

To be clear, you could probably say that I'm more of a merc from a company that was hired to preform assassinations and loyalty tests.
*Smiles.*
The best way to ascertain someones loyalty is to have a neutral third party do it!

Nope. I mean an all female team, complete with skirts. Nine of them if I remember correctly. Ran into their aliens one time. Wasn't pleasant. Felt like I pulled an all nighter like I did back in my Academy days when it started... draining me?
*shakes head*
My First Officer had fun showing her Andorian heritage on her.

you are not my grand vizier...i am neither an employee nor a citizen of ba'al's regime
Bloody privateers...
How about you join up? The pros and cons are as follows:
--Minimum wage and monthly stipend.
--Access to the latest weapons and tech.
--Personal hotline to the Grand Vizier.
--Rights and privileges of a Minion of Ba'al (tm).
Cons:
--Must hail Ba'al at least once daily.
--Must tell Ba'al that he has great fashion sense.
--Must be willing to wear a regulation black vampire cape and goatee for (infrequent) formal occasions.

The Federation is already observing that world in case these Youma launch a full scale attack. Those Scouts may be strong, but I doubt they could hold off an invasion force. Right now its hands off since that world is Pre-Warp, but if the Youma go all out... then Starfleet will respond.
