PART 1
On the small and seemingly insignificant planet known as Earth billions of so-called higher life forms moved about. They had been doing so for longer than even they knew, and so had convinced themselves that the movement would never end.
They were wrong.
High above the Earth in dozens of different locations, isolated regions of space began to shift and warp. From these rifts in space appeared sleek metallic objects.
It was the SGC moonbase codenamed Whitewater (1) that detected the intruders first. This subterranean base was the first lunar outpost constructed in record setting time by the SGC with assistance by the Tok'ra (2), its purpose was so classified only the highest security clearance on Earth could know about its mere existence.
Bizarre prism shapes, gold colour that almost glowed against the blackness of space, they had travelled a cosmic distance utilising technology centuries ahead of anything on the unsuspecting planet they rapidly approached. They clearly were of alien origin. Simple visual analysis would tell they were clearly of Goa'uld design, a race of serpentine parasites that looked upon all other sentient beings in the galaxy as cattle. To be used. Consumed. Slaughtered.
From the forward point of the weird prism ships (3) a golden glow emanated. The unnatural glow became a bolt of golden energy that lashed out, spreading out from a mere metre in width to hundreds of metres. Struck out and shone down at the unsuspecting world below.
******************
To the people below there was no warning. No chance to prepare or hide.
A golden light struck, its centre, an office building in New York City. The building and everything around it for over a kilometre was vaporised instantly, buildings and people for an even greater distance was mutilated by explosive force or scorched by the horrific heat emanating from the beam like an unseen wave.
The beam began moving, destroying all in its wake, moving deeper into the city like an unstoppable wave of death.
This process of unimaginable carnage was simultaneously occurring in cities all over the world; Washington DC, London, Jerusalem, Tehran, Sydney, to a dispassionate observer it would be obvious that the ones orchestrating this genocide had no interest in nationality, religious faith, ethnicity or political view. It was equal slaughter, death dealt on a level the world had never before known.
From secret airbases (4), squadrons of vehicles that "did not exist" took off and broke the Earths gravity field under their own power. They zeroed in on the genocidal prism ships and let loose with nuclear weapons, their own terrifying power enhanced with an alien element. Their targets were destroyed with spectacular explosions yet anticlimactic ease.
But there were too many of them... and it was too late.
While the enemy had been wiped out, doing so took too long.
In a mere fifty two minutes forty nine million people were killed, while the skies were lit by fireballs in the sky.
Nearly fifty million lives ended within one hour. The worst catastrophe- the most devastating attack in recorded human history.
**********************************************************************************
One week later...
After much debate at the highest levels of government it was decided that forces would be assembled to combat the ones responsible for the attack on their world.
One of the units created was unusual in that... the members were from earth... but not human.
Made up of genetically engineered animal-human hybrids, the new unit was codenamed Nightfall.
The idea was first pitched by a colonel Donald Lydecker...
End part 1...
NOTES
(1) Whitewater station-built by the SGC using Tel'Taks to ferry materials until a ring transporter could be set up underground. Whitewater is subterrainean, its tunnels hollowed out first by Tok'ra crystals, then covered by metals, superhardened plastics, concrete, etc. It has multiple purposes from detecting alien vessels approaching Earth to performing research that would not be "suited" on Earth, i.e illegal. Whitewater has its own defensive systems, including railguns, impaler space missiles, rockets, and plasma weapons given by the Tok'ra.
(2) In SG canon the Tok'ra never really gave the SGC any technological help, in this story they do. This isn't fully because of righteous reasons- the idea is based on accusations of the CIA supplying weapons during the Soviet-Afghan War, in real life i think the Tok'ra would do the same thing, if only to draw attention to the Tau'ri and away from themselves.
(3) Prism ships; primary armament 1 high yield plasma beam weapon, no secondary armament, equipped with level 2 cloaking device, level 6 energy shielding, level 5 hyperdrive with estimated max velocity of 32,000c, power plant=1 heavy naquada fusion core, only capable of carrying 2 crew= 1 pilot, 1 copilot.
(4) F302s are stationed at more than one secret base in this story. It would be stupid to put them all at one location.
Please Review, it gives food for superior work in the future.
I may redo this chapter if it doesn't make a good grade.
