Halo/Dr Who Crossover – The Year the Galaxy Cried
Space was Dark. Always very very dark. Pinpricks of light called stars were all that made the cold silent abyss look beautiful. A Halcyon class cruiser rumbled through this abyss.
"Thank you Anthony" Said Captain Samantha Stone. She grasped the Hot Chocolate in her hand and let her back sink into the chair.
"My Pleasure Captain!" The Large burly Scottish man said. His Apron a patchwork of stains. The Doors closed behind him as he exited the room.
"Captain to the Bridge! Captain to the Bridge!" Stone eyes lazily opened as she forced herself up and out of the room.
"What now?" She continued as she hurried onto the command deck.
"We receiving a transmission Captain." A young ensign stated.
"What out here? No impossible. Check it." She replied.
"I Have Captain. Several Times. It's not of any known Origin." The ensign continued
"Is it Sangheli, Uggnoy, Anything?" Captain Stone asked.
"No and that's not the creepy bit Captain." The Ensign stated.
"What is?" The Captain said.
"It's translating itself. They already now our language whoever they are." The Ensign said.
"Okay then Play the message." Captain Stone said.
"Aye Aye Captain!" another ensign shouted.
He tapped his console hurriedly. Button and switches were push pulled tapped and hit.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" The loudspeakers screamed.
Captain Stones Eyes widened. "Raise the Shields! We may need Them."
"DALEK BATTLEGROUPS ARE IN POSITION." One Dalek Screeched. Another Dalek turned its head towards a group of Daleks at their consoles.
"PARTICLE BEAM WEAPONS LOCKED AND PRIMED" It Stated.
"EXTERMINATE THE ALIEN SHIP! EXTERMINATE!" A Black Dalek Screamed. Its Gun and Manipulator arm moving madly in front of it.
A Barrage of Green lasers smashed into the Halcyon Class Cruiser. The Ship burned in fire and after 10 seconds that was nothing but debris and floating bodies.
"NO SURVIVORS DETECTED." One Dalek screamed
"SIGNAL THE FLEET. THE INVASION BEGINS." The Black Dalek said.
*Earth UNSC Headquarters*
"As you all know" Admiral Hood said addressing the twenty or so Admirals in front of him. "The UNSC Sword and Shield has gone missing." A Round of nods and murmurs of acknowledgement went round the room. "Well we received this transmission shortly before when we believe it went missing. Admiral Hood Pressed a small blue button.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Screeched loudspeakers in the room.
Frantic deliberation began between the group of Admirals. As this happened a messanger came in and whispered something into Admiral Hoods ear.
Admiral Hood cleared his throat silencing everyone in the room and then proclaimed "I'm afraid I'm going to have to call this meeting short. The Arbiter his on his way and has requested to see me at once.
*10 hours later*
Admiral Hood walked into the darkened room. The Door silently slid shut behind him. The Arbiter was standing on the opposite side of a holo table.
"Admiral Hood. It is, agreeable to see you." The Arbiter stated.
"You too Arbiter. Why have you come to see me." Admiral Hood asked.
"Because Admiral the Galaxy is in great peril." The Arbiter replied
"How so?"
"That Cruiser, the Sword and Shield that went missing. We believe we know what happened to it." The Arbiter said. "You see in recent weeks we have had several unknown incursions along our border on the edge of the galaxy." The Arbiter tapped the console on the table several times and two planets appeared. "The Colonies of Xalhaway and Jacroo. They were burnt. Not glassed but burnt." The Arbiter pressed several more button. This time 3 CCS Cruisers appeared and 6 SDV Corvettes appeared as well. " The Wreckage of the Lance of Retribution" One the Corvettes started blinking red. "Came through a slipspace portal that opened near Sanghelios."
"What did you find?" Admiral Hood inquired.
"We don't exactly know and thought you might." A Hologram of a strange creature with a sucker at the end of one arm and a gun for another arm appeared. "Admiral Hood, what do you know of the Daleks?"
