Battlestar Ares, 5 months after Cylon attack
"Commander, your needed at the CIC" a voice from his room's com-unit told him. Odin Riviera commander of the prototype Battlestar Ares (the so called 'super' Battlestar) stood up from his desk, fixed up his uniform and headed to the hatch leading from his quarters into the hallway.
"(5 months, we've been out here 5 months and it still seems like yesterday)" the commander thought to himself as he walked down the brightly lit corridors to the Ares CIC. "(The most advanced systems and weapons, bigger then a Mercury class battlestar and all we could do was run)". He then thought back to the day of the attacks, when The Ares was just finishing up its shake down cruise, at the time the ship's crew was half the size the ship could hold (which was about 3500) and only about one third its viper compliment, so it could only deploy 4 viper squadrons. It had been pure luck that after their FTL jump to escape the 4 cylon basestars chasing them that they ran into a small civilian been defended by a heavily damaged mercury class battlestar named 'Titan'. It had and been part of the 45th Battlestar Group which had been involved in several war-games exercises in which the 45th had to combat the 32nd with the new command navigation program disabled. That little was the only reason the Titan was now cruising beside the Ares. As he entered the CIC his XO Colonel Mai Rowley turned to him.
"Welcome back Commander, here the latest status report on the fleet's condition" She said as she handed him the report. As he looked it over his face turned grim.
"So the whole fleet only has enough fuel for another 5 jumps" the commander spoke aloud.
"If we stick to curtain fuel ration levels and only make short jumps then yes we have enough for 5 more FTL jumps" Rowley responded.
"So then this cat and mouse game we've been playing with the Cylons is almost over, after we make that last jump they'll send in a full battle group instead of the 2 or 3 basestars that have been chasing us so far and take us, the Titan and the civilian fleet out in a single attack." Odin said as he looked to the DRADIS screen build into the large table in the center of the CIC. It currently showed the Ares, the Titan beside it and the 43 various types of civilian ships making of the fleet trailing to two battlestars. Just then an unknown signal appeared 500 km ahead of the fleet and slowly closing.
"Report Now, what is that thing!" the commander demanded.
"Not sure sir; doesn't match any Cylon vessels we've encountered so far. Doesn't match any colonial vessels on file either" answered the DRADIS officer. Just then 3 Cylon basestars jumped in from behind the fleet. "Sir Cylon basestars have just appeared 1000km behind the fleet, their launching fighters counting 200 fighters from each basestar" the officer reported.
Ark Royal class Battle Carrier 'Enterprise'
"Wow, I guess we walked in on the wrong party Captain" one of the bridge officers spoke aloud.
"Cut the wise cracking Peterson; Yagami situation report, what the hell have we run into?" Captain Tai Kurosaki asked the young officer stationed at the radar console as he looked at the two alien fleets in front of the Enterprise and thought about the events which lead to them being here.2 weeks ago the Enterprise and her crew had just been assigned to the Macross 12 colonial fleet but on their space fold from earth to the Macross 12 fleet, a power imbalance in the fold system had sent them off coarse landing them in this area of space. Since then they had been hiding inside a small nebula while repair crews worked at finding the source of the power imbalance.
"(And just when they finally find it this happens)" Captain Kurosaki thought to himself. 2 hours ago radar picked up a fleet of unknown ships. After monitoring their communications it had been discovered that these aliens spoke some advance form of ancient Greek (a now dead language once used several thousands of years ago) and after some debate with his senior officers the decision was made to make contact with the fleet in hopes of asking for assistance in fixing the fold system faster then what the repair crews said it would take with just the supplies onboard the ship; besides part of the NUNS mandate was to try and make peaceful contact with any alien species they encounter. But just as the Enterprise left the nebula 3 new ships appeared almost out of nowhere and launched a combined total of 600 fighters, the first fleet responded by moving the two largest ships to the fleets rear as they launched their own fighters.
"The two groups appear enemies sir" Yagami told the captain.
"Thank you ensign now for the real question, what do we do about it?" the captain asked his bridge crew.
"If we engage either side it would most likely been taken as an act of war" said the Enterprise's first officer commander Dana Jenius told him. "However it doesn't seem very likely that the first group is a battle fleet since only the two larger vessels have engaged the second group and have but themselves between the 3 new ships and smaller ones which are now moving away from the battle zone" she added.
"Which means those smaller ships are most likely civilians being protected by the lager ships" the Captain concluded.
"Sir 150 fighter of the second group have altered course and headed our way also I've received reports from security that there have been several attempts to hack our computer systems, so far none of the attempts have managed to break through the first level of encryption firewalls" the communications officer reported.
"Source?" the captain asked.
"They seem to have started right after those fighters started heading toward us sir" the officer answered.
"Hell of way to say hello" Peterson stated
"Peterson!" The Captain snapped.
"Sorry sir" Peterson replied as the captain sat down in his command chair and activated his ship wide com-unit.
"All hands ready for combat operations, all fighter squadrons ready for launch" The captain ordered. With that the newest chapter in human history has begun to unfold.
