First of all thanks for all the reviews it is a big help and keep them coming

First some comments to the reviews:

From Red Leader

Nice grouping of the fleet. Shouldn't the Navy take over the fleet?

The reason why the Navy hasn't taken over is because they don't have the experience; the Air force has been running the program and already has some trained personnel. The navy will also be disbanded as there is no need for a water kind of navy, the personnel members can move to the other branches of the military, the space ships will also be under the command of the newly created space force, I also explained some of it in chapter 5, I hope this settles your question.

From Ravus

While the premise of the story is instantly good and interesting, the actual characters dialogue seems to... lack weight.

Each action seems to quick and simple. While the action is logical and can still be 'in character' there isn't any pauses for hesitation to show when a big decision is being run through someone's mind.
For example the Travelers instantly agree to the plan. They agree to risk their ships, lives and resources for a chance to live in a city. This would totally change their way of life and the female commander instantly accepts. While she comments that he better be telling the truth, you don't describe any pauses or hesitance to her actions; any implications behind her words apart from the obvious. Human communication is more about body language and verbal inflection then words. The way she is written makes it seem she is showing absolute trust in Sheppard.
There are other instances but I'm sure my point is made.
It's a shame because anyone can see the characters are written in character and you can sometimes intuitively imagine how they are saying it. But it would be better for it to be written down. Quite simply it just seems certain character moments weren't given enough 'screen time' and description.

I am still trying to get better in writing characters and action and I will try to put it in this chapter.

Anyway back to the good points. The idea of an alliance to claim the replicators technology is a bold one and well done. It seems like you were trying to rush it so it will be interesting to see where you are rushing too.

At the time I wrote it I was rushing to the end really, I didn't think I would continue it but I got hooked on writing the story so I continued.

The battles were shown nicely with typical cut aways and a repitorie of conversation between officers. Made it easy to follow the battle and understand what was happening but with the speed and lack of emotional description and mental monologues it was hard to feel connected whenever an earthling died. If this kind of clinical detatchment to war was what you were going for then you hit the nail on the head. But if you were trying to show the horror of war or make us want one side to win more than the other the reader needs an emotional hook to draw them in. A inner thought process as someone dies, the slow creeping horror of the enemies approach, the realization that some numbers are just too big to be able to fathom the dead and the loss, etc.

Will you be keeping this a purely war and event story? (I do realise as I write this there are more chapters to get through) the political events seem simplified as though you don't want to get into that part of a story. I mean it's pretty obvious from the blunt line "The press conference went on for several hours and when it finally came to an end everybody was happy."
In a real life media fallout like the one in this chapter there would certainly be mud flinging and the 'blame game' not to mention some hysteria from the civilians. So I get the feeling you are quickly brushing over it from lack of desire to write that kind of story. Which is fine. You should definatly write what you enjoy, kudo's on getting it out of the way instead of just pretending you wouldn't have to write a little bit about it.


When I started writing the chapter I wanted to put in some political things like press statements and interviews, when I finally got to it I could only think of a few questions and not the whole lot of questions I was planning on.


Still more chapters to read and a overreaching plot arch to establish so till later:

Wow, um well like I said before if you were hoping to show the horror of war through clinical description you really topped it with the conversation on the Hammond at the start of this chapter... The humans disregard from their enemies and total demonization of them is barbaric. The fact that none of the crew raised objection to the killing the enemy training camp when it couldn't defend itself was horrible and made me momentarily want to support the ori and not humanity.


Remember that the Ori destroyed about a dozen cities and are responsible for about 400 million deaths; they have the right to be pissed at them.


Still some simple spelling and grammar mistakes but not many.


I try to filter out the grammar mistakes but I am Dutch and there is only so much my computer can do about the mistakes I make.


The battle near the end is illogical. The ship was hit without shields and no life threatening damage was mentioned. Then moments after the shields were raised they had been reduced to 25%. logiically if they had been reduced to that ammount that quickly then they would have dissapeared just as quickly. But they stayed long enough for the ship to attempt to 'hide' behind an ally.

The Ori didn't use their main weapon so only secondary weapons which have much less power. The Deadelus was able to withstand several direct hits form 2 wraith hives in Allies before they raised their shields. When their shields were raised they weren't at 100 percent, the same happened here.

Why is Earth so reactionary? All their war efforts seem to be made to counter the action of the Ori yet no plans or long term campaigns seem to be in place to stop or hold the Ori offence apart from "fight them whenever they appear". Surely the scientists an tactitions would have something up their sleeve.

Chapter 5 is about a fleet of ships who have a three month mission dedicated to disrupting the Ori supply lines, but you are right, there are not much offensive actions, this is because there are only so much ships they have at their disposal and they need to protect the Alliance to prevent it from breaking apart.

first find ways to get information. Then identify weak points. In the series this was the huge space stargates that would need to be taken out to stop the ori fleet offensive from getting the reinforcements. With so many land troops coming in long distance through the planet stargates perhaps it would be appropriate to help all the allies in the galaxy to set up defensive forts with self destruct options around the planets stargate. This could stop the troop offensive.

The reason why I haven't shown much Intel gathering is because I like to keep it simple, the 305's were created to do this among other things, I just didn't tell much about it.


For strikes back at the Ori. The Earth fleet has the asgard engines that allow fast travel between galaxies. With appropriate information such as "fleet building yards", "mining planets" or captiols for economy/miltary ori forces. A assault force could be sent on a long term mission to fly to the ori galaxy and perform a surgical strike on the ori thus making them go defensive and allowing the earth galaxy to build up and form alliances.

The Problem is that we don't exactly know where the Ori galaxy is or it might be too far away, even for our Deadelus class warships with a ZPM. The Supergate is also heavily fortified. Even if we would be able to get there we wouldn't know what would face us, for all we know there are a hundred Ori motherships waiting for us when we enter their galaxy.

Those are just a few offensive campaign stratagies of the top of my head

Bit of a simplistic ending. Again it seems illogical. If the Ori are a empire run by dimensional beings then they would have no way to feel as though they were losing too many forces. The dimensional beings would just see them as cannon fodder and breed more. With a religious empire there would be no other reason for peace except threat of anialation. Yet the Earthlings havn't struck at the ori galazy at all, meaning they have no reason to fear the earthlings, the Ori would just expect Earth to act defensivly.

The Ori themselves need the people to worship them or they will have no power at all, as they have seen themselves a war with the Alliance will be bloody and will kill a lot of their worshippers reducing their power. Up to that point they could just tell their worshippers that the war is going good but if hostile vessels start to appear in their own galaxy those people might lose faith in the Ori and start rebellions. The weakness of the Ori is their dependency on humans to worship them.

Ah the eagerly awaited crossover:

I was actually planning these chapters to come right after chapter five but that would make it difficult for me as I needed to explain the end of het Ori war. I already had written them and sometimes I made some changes.


It's a bit obvious you don't know the characters from BSG as well as SG-A/SG1

I watch both series a lot but you are right that SG-1/SGA is my favorite of both and I watch BSG more for the action.

Adama is not this poltically correct with his words. Most colonials will probably have hostile actions to adavanced technolgy, especially to Artificial intelligence, considering that their entire civilization was wiped out by the AI that they themselves created. lots of little bits like that.

I see Adama as an open minded person who is willing to listen to others. I think that when they discover a ship from the thirteenth tribe he would be willing to listen to them even if they have advanced weapons and AI's.

If anything the way you write conversation has become even more streamlined. The characters encourage each other to finish their sentances and explain themselves. They don't fight with words, interupt, imply, hurt and many other things can be done in verbal communication yet here it's just become exposition.

I will try to improve the conversations so judge for yourself,

Here is the next chapter: On the Attack

May 8 2016 1200 hours

Shipyard, New Cobol

"Hereby I commission you, the Tau'ri Federation Battlestar Galactica. May you take care of your crew and may you fight many battles, good luck!" William Adama said as he commissioned the Galactica. The Galactica was the first to be commissioned; the Pegasus would be commissioned a few days later and the rest with intervals of about 4 weeks. After a year of hard work the battlestars were upgraded from primitive to up to date. They were also the first dreadnoughts the Tau'ri federation created. The Ships were powered by six ZPM's and had three other in reserve.

"Over 40 years ago, when I was a young good looking rookie, I was first assigned to the Galactica. It took good care of me, may it take good care of its new crew and commander, General Elizabeth Pierce." Adama said with a glance as he remembered the first day het set foot on the Galactica.

As the crowd clapped Pierce walked up to the stage.

"I am proud to be the new commander of this Battlestar that has fought so many battles and always survived. I have big shoes to fit in; I hope I am up to the task." Pierce said walking off the stage.

1245 hours

Commander's chambers, Battlestar Galactica

"Admiral, what brings you here?" Pierce said as Adama walked in.

"I just wanted to see it one last time. And I wanted to wish you the best of luck." Adama said.

"Thank you Admiral. Would you like a tour of the ship?" Pierce said.

"I was hoping you would ask that." Adama replied.

"Well, CIC first?" Pierce said.

"CIC it is." Adama said.

As they left the room they walked in the Direction of the new CIC.

"What can she do now?" Adama asked while looking around in awe

"They call the Battlestar class the planet killers. Apparently it is capable of destroying a whole planet's surface in just one shot. Therefore the president forbids me to target a planet with the main guns. We also have 40 squadrons of Avengers and 12 squadrons of new Raptors. We have a crew of 8000 man, the ship requires 3 ZPM's to operate, but then it is capable of jumping from Earth to Asuras at once." Pierce said.

"That far? You can calculate that far?" Adama asked already trying to calculate the distance.

"Well we first open a hyperspace window to the required destination and while we are in hyperspace we make a jump. The only thing we need to calculate is the distance." Pierce explained.

"That's amazing." Adama said. "Why do you have so much Raptors?"

"That's because they have been modified; now they can be used as scout, transport, bomber and electronic warfare ship." Pierce said. With the use of Tau'ri systems the Raptor's systems had been drastically improved.

as they reached the CIC a marine opened the door to let the Admiral and General in.

"Commander on deck." Another marine yelled.

"At ease everyone." Pierce said.

"What have you done with the place?" Adama said looking in awe.

"We replaced most of the consoles and put in new ones. We can also control the ship with the chair. Have you had the ATA gene?" Pierce asked.

"Yes, but I never used it on a warship." Adama replied.

"Well this is your chance, take a seat and see what we have changed." Pierce said.

"And what if I accidentally fire some of the weapons?" Adama asked worried. The first time a colonial sat in the control chair that person almost destroyed a cruiser.

"The weapon systems first need to be activated. It is a safeguard to prevent accidentally firing of the weapons." Pierce said.

"Alright, let's see what they did to you shall we." Adama said.

As he sat down the chair started to light up and lights were coming on.

"Wow, I can actually feel the power rush through me, it is amazing." Adama said.

"It definitely is. People who have the gene naturally feel it even better." Pierce said.

"When will you depart?" Adama asked.

"As soon as the Pegasus has been launched and our escorts have arrived." Pierce said.

"What will be your mission?" Adama asked.

"Well, unfortunately I can't tell you." She hated it not to tell the Admiral as he didn't have clearance despite his new job with the ministry of defence. On the other hand the Admiral was a professional and could keep a secret "But I can tell you that the Galactica will return home to where it has been named after." Pierce said.

"You're going back to the colonies?" Adama asked.

"Caprica will be our first target; we are to destroy the enemy basestars and to look for any technology about the Cylon resurrection and downloading process." Pierce said.

"Have the Asgard been unable to find any good information about the process on the captured basestar?" Adama asked worried that all that trouble was for nothing.

"It is a goldmine, but they need something called the resurrection hub." Pierce said. "have you ever heard of it?"

"I have never heard of it, do you know where it is?" Adama asked.

"We don't, but apparently the local basestars know the position so that's why we are going back. Our final task is to destroy the Cylon homeworld." Pierce said.

"Justice will be served." Adama said.

"That it will." Pierce said.

"Well, I thank you for the tour, it definitely is a different ship, and may she take good care of you and the crew." Adama said looking proud.

"Oh, she will. It was good to see you again Bill, I'll walk you out." Pierce said pointing to one of the exits.

May 11 1200 hours

CIC, Battlestar Galactica, New Cobol

"General, the escort ships have joined us and are prepared to jump to hyperspace." The sensor Officer said.

"General Adama on the Pegasus reports the same." The comm. Officer said.

"Execute jump in 20 seconds, tell the Pegasus and escort ships to synchronize. As soon as we are in hyperspace, you can make the jump, don't wait for my command." Pierce said.

"Yes sir." The nav. officer said. "Engaging hyperdrive in 5...4...3...2...1... Engaging hyperdrive. We have entered hyperspace. Spooling up the jump drives. Jump in 5...4...3...2...1... jumping. Exiting hyperspace in 5...4...3...2...1... We have exited hyperspace."

"Sensors report that we have arrived at 12 light years from Caprica. The rest of the fleet has also successfully made the jump." The sensor officer said.

"That's fast." Pierce said.

"Sir, long range sensors have detected 12 basestars over Caprica." The sensor officer said.

"Prepare to make a jump in five minutes. Tell the rest of the fleet to stay behind; we will pay them a visit." Pierce said. 12 basestars were no match for a new battlestar; they could easily take on the whole Cylon invasion fleet without getting a scratch.

"Shall I prepare the Avengers for take-off?" The CAG asked hoping he would get his first engagement.

"No, that is not necessary have all weapons stand-by to open fire but they are not allowed to fire before I give the order." Pierce said. Any fighters would be too susceptible to raiders.

"Yes sir." The CAG said.

"The ship is ready for combat sir." The XO said.

"All right then, jump in 10 seconds." Pierce said.

"Jumping in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... Jumping." The nav. officer said.

"Sir, sensors are picking up 12 basestars, they are moving to intercept and are launching raiders, 2400 plus." The sensor officer said.

"Hold your fire. Wait for my command." Pierce said hoping to lure them in.

"Basestars are launching missiles, 3000 closing in estimated time to interception 3 minutes." The sensor officer said.

As the raiders came closer they got into positions.

"Have all anti-fighter battery's open fire." Pierce said.

As the battery's open fire dozens of raiders are destroyed.

"Sir, we have destroyed 200 raiders, the rest has broken off and is regrouping as we speak." The sensor officer said.

The missiles were now going past the raiders heading for the lone battlestar.

"How powerful are those missiles?" Pierce asked.

"They are all 5-10 Kilotons we can handle them but I rather not strain the shield too much." The tactical officer said.

"Have all weapons open fire at will." Pierce said. She wanted her battlestar to be able to handle more than one fight.

As all the weapons open fire 3 basestars are destroyed within seconds, 400 raiders were destroyed and 700 missiles were intercepted.

"Sir we have destroyed a big amount of enemy raiders and missiles." The tactical officer said.

"Hail the Pegasus." Pierce said.

"Shall I put them on the speaker?" The comm. Officer said.

"No I'll take it here." Pierce said. As she picked up the phone.

"General Adama, you are to jump in behind the Cylon force and disable their ships but do not destroy them, the Asgard want them." Pierce said.

"Copy that, what about the frigates?" Adama said.

"Have them take up positions around the Cylon ships to prevent them from escaping." Pierce said.

"Okay, we'll be there in a sec." Adama said.

As Pegasus jumps in, three Cylon baseships are hit by railgun rounds disabling their jump drives and several missile silos. The frigates jump in between the missiles and Raiders guns blazing destroying all the remaining missiles and raiders. The Basestars, now defenceless are targeted by Tau'ri vessels. All the remaining ships are disabled.

"Beam our troop aboard those ships; we need to capture some skin-jobs alive." Pierce said.

"Yes sir. Pegasus is also beaming their troop on their ships." The tactical officer said.

"New Sensor contacts. Seven Basestars, they are firing on the other basestars." The sensor officer said.

As 7 basestars jump in they immediately launch missiles.

"Can we intercept?" Pierce said.

"Negative missiles will hit in 35 seconds." The sensor officer said.

"Beam our troop out, now." Pierce yelled. "Open fire on those new basestars."

"Opening fire on the enemy basestars." The tactical officer said.

As the missiles hit several bright suns take the ships away only to never return.

"All our troops have been beamed out, missiles have hit their targets. All the basestars have been destroyed." The sensor officer said.

"How about those new ones." Pierce said.

"Almost done." The tactical officer said. "Enemy basestars have been destroyed."

"Sensors are clear, no more targets." The sensor officer said.

"Damage?" Pierce asked.

"None sir." The comm. Officer said.

"Initiate a long range sensor sweep for the whole colonial remnant." Pierce ordered wanting to know if there were more basestars ready to jump in on them.

"On it sir. It will take about 2 hours to complete the scan." The sensor officer said.

1435 hours

Plot room, Battlestar Galactica

"What have you found on the scans?" Pierce asked.

"We found about 62 enemy basestars most of them are grouped around the former Picon fleet headquarters. We also found about 7000 humans scattered around the colonies." The sensor officer said pulling up the scans.

"All right, we are going to take those basestars out. Thanks to the information we got from the enemy basestars we were able to adjust some of our sensors to scan for the resurrection hub. After we destroyed all the Cylons at the colonies we are going to capture the resurrection hub. The Asgard already sent us a Hammond, 4 O'Neill's and 5 Jacksons. The frigates will also rescue the civilians on the planet surface." Pierce said.

"Why don't we split up and take Picon together?" Adama said. There was no reason to keep both battlestars together; it would only slow them down.

"Good idea, let's do that. We will rendezvous in 6 hours 2 light-years from Picon." Pierce said pointing a certain spot on the large map of the colonial remnant.

"See you then." Adama replied.

Plot room, Battlestar Galactica.

"Good to see you Lee." Pierce said.

"Good to see you to Elizabeth." Adama said.

"How did it go?" Pierce asked.

"We destroyed six basestars and we rescued about 4000 civvies. How about you?" Lee asked.

"We destroyed five basestars and rescued the rest of the civvies." Pierce said.

"That leaves us with 51 enemy basestars and their fighters. Kara has been asking when she will get to kill some Cylons." Lee said. Kara had been assigned to the Pegasus as the commander of a squadron of avengers.

"Well, tell her to strap in. we will launch all our fighters and raptors." Pierce said.

"When will we attack?" Lee asked.

"You said that every night there was something to prevent them from jumping in or out of the system, right? We will use that to prevent them from escaping and we will destroy them." Pierce said.

"Clever, but we need to hurry up it starts in 20 minutes." Adama said.

"Then we need to get started right away." Pierce said.

2120 hours

CIC, Galactica

"Make the jump in 10 seconds." Pierce said.

"Jump in 5...4...3...2...1... Jumping." The nav. officer said.

As the fleet jumps into the Picon system they launch fighters and missiles. Asgard beam weapons are already slamming into several basestars destroying them.

"Jump successful." The nav. Officer said.

"Seven basestars have been destroyed." The Sensor officer said.

"Fighters have been launched." The tactical officer said.

"An enemy virus is attempting to gain access to our systems; I am able to resist their attempts." The AI said.

"Can you break in to their database and get some good Intel?" Pierce asked.

"Yes it is possible. What do you want to know?" The AI said.

"Anything you can find." Pierce replied.

"Downloading Cylon database. Estimated time till completion, 30 seconds." The AI said.

"Very well. Status of the basestars." Pierce said.

"We destroyed twelve more; fighters are engaging the enemy raiders." The tactical officer said.

As the fighters engage the Cylon raiders some more basestars explode in huge fireballs.

"Downloading complete." The AI said.

"Can we beam some nukes in there?" Pierce asked.

"That is possible, but I recommend we pull our fighters away from them." The AI said.

"Commence deploying mark XI nukes in 30 seconds and tell the fighters to return to their ships." Pierce ordered.

"Attention to all fighters, return to your ships nuclear strike imminent." The comm. Officer said.

As the fighters retreat behind the battlestars, the first basestar in destroyed, more and more follow them. After a minute no basestar is left.

"All basestars have been destroyed." The sensor officer said.

"Do a sweep of the area they may be hiding behind some debris." Pierce ordered.

"Sensors report little to no debris and no contacts." The sensor officer said.

"Very well, have the tech guys go through the data we've downloaded and report back to me in one hour." Pierce ordered.

"Sir, what do you want to do about the resurrection hub?" The Xo asked.

"Have the fleet submit damage reports within the hour and send a raptor to find the Cylon resurrection hub." Pierce ordered. "And go over the sensors, we need to close any holes we have in our defence."

"We already have some people on it." An officer said.

"Fine, I'll be in my quarters." Pierce said. After she gave her XO a nod she left for her quarters.

Commander's quarters, battlestar Galactica

"Sir, these are the reports of the battle. General Adama has also just landed and is on his way here and will be here in a matter of minutes." Her lieutenant said.

"Thank you, anything else happened?" Pierce asked already thinking of what to say to Lee.

"A lot of female refugees have been brought to the sickbay as they were held in a sort of farm; the doctor is now taking care of it." He said.

"I've read the colonial reports about those farms; see to it that those women are well cared for." Pierce ordered.

"Yes sir." The lieutenant said.

At that moment Lee Adama walked in.

"General, what brings you here." Pierce asked.

"I just wanted to review the battle with you that's all." Lee replied.

"Alright, lieutenant you're dismissed." Pierce said. "Let's review, shall we."

"How much planes did you lose?" Lee asked.

"We lost 36 Avengers and 6 raptors, mostly due to our own weapons fire. How about you?" Pierce asked.

"29 Avengers and 12 raptors, same reason." Lee replied.

"So how can we prevent this from happening in the future?" Pierce asked.

"I suggest we let the frigates do the suppression barrage and the battlestars only fire their suppression flak when the frigates can't handle it. Lee said.

"That's a possibility, the shields are capable of handling anything the Cylons can throw at us" Pierce said.

"What are we going to do with the Asgard ships; they are going to want to be there." Lee said.

"We will have them jump in after we have cleared out some of the resistance and when the Cylons have focussed on us." Pierce said.

"Where will we post the frigates and do we launch everything?" Lee asked.

"Since we will not activate our suppression batteries the frigates will have to stay close to us to protect us from incoming nukes and fighters. We will launch everything we've got. All but six frigates will engage immediately. The six remaining frigates will jump in a little bit later and take up positions around the resurrection hub." Pierce said.

"Sounds like a plan to me, when will we execute it?" Lee asked.

"Tomorrow at noon, everyone needs some rest; we've had a long day." Pierce said. The crews had worked hard the last few days and deserved some rest.

"Alright, I will return to my ship and get them to take some rest. Goodnight Elizabeth." Lee said.

"Goodnight Lee" Elizabeth said.

CIC, battlestar Galactica

"Set condition one throughout the ship and have the fighters prepare for takeoff." Pierce ordered.

All around her people were running last minute checks and securing their stations.

"Get me the Pegasus." Pierce said.

"You're on sir." The com officer said.

"Lee, are you ready for combat?" Pierce asked.

"We're waiting for your command." Lee replied.

"Then let's go. We'll jump in 20 seconds. Pierce said.

"Copy that Galactica, we will synchronize with you." Lee said.

"Jump in 5...4...3...2...1... Jumping. The Nav. officer said. "Jump complete."

"Launch all squadrons and target the Cylon basestars." Pierce ordered.

As the first basestars are destroyed by Asgard weapons fighters and missiles are launched.

"Enemy is launching raiders and missiles, too much to count." The sensor officer said.

"Have the fighters intercept the missiles and raiders and have the raptors launch missiles at the enemy basestars." Pierce ordered.

"I am reading a power spike in one of the enemy basestars, I cannot identify it." The sensor officer said.

"Target, that basestar, destroy it!" Pierce ordered something that they couldn't identify could not be good especially if it came from an enemy that didn't have energy weapons.

As the missiles slam in to the basestar in question, the basestar let's out a blue energy wave. As it reaches the Tau'ri ships their shields flicker and fade away.

"Sir, we lost shield, we are taking hits on the outer hull. Other ships report the same situation!" The tactical officer yelled.

"Open fire with all weapons including the suppression weapons and have them target ay incoming missiles. Tell the fighters to stay away from the missiles and to concentrate on raiders and enemy basestars. Tell the rest of the fleet to do the same." Pierce ordered. This was just the kind of thing she was afraid of.

As the suppression batteries open fire destroying dozens of missiles several missiles are able to break through the defence perimeter and hit the hull, in some cases a nuclear explosion tear of some deck plating.

"We have multiple missile strikes on the hull, for now we are holding out." The tactical officer said.

"Contact the Asgard group and their frigates and tell them to jump in right away." Pierce ordered.

"Sir, one of the mark XI nukes is showing an overload. We have 25 seconds till detonation. We cannot launch it or beam it out." The Tactical officer said.

"All hands prepare for internal nuclear detonation, close all hatches and engage emergency force fields." Pierce said over the ship wide comm. "Lieutenant beam out all other nuclear ordnance to the Pegasus and inform them of the situation. Tell all ships to stay away from us due to impending internal nuclear explosion." Pierce ordered. The only way to save the ship was to get all nuclear ordnance out of there otherwise the ship would be destroyed.

"All hands brace for explosions." The XO yelled knowing it would be one hell of a bang.

As all the ships move away from the Galactica, the Cylons think they can come in to give it the kill shot. At the moment the first Cylon missiles hit, the mark XI explodes tearing off half the top in the middle of the ship, immediately after the explosion several sections are closed off by automated force fields. Several Cylon basestars are destroyed by the blast wave and debris.

As Pierce tries to get up on her feet she notices that she is bleeding form a head wound.

"Status report!"

"Emergency force fields are in place and are holding, we have lost propulsion and most of our weapons. Our sensors are down and we only have short range communications." The AI said.

"Ask the Pegasus if she can take up covering positions over us." Pierce said. They were heavily damaged and only one nuke in the right place could finish them off.

"The Pegasus is already underway and the frigates are retaking their positions. Fighters continue to engage the Raiders." The tactical officer said.

"Damage control, what is the status of the ship." Pierce asked.

"According to one of the raptors we have a big hole in the middle of the top of the ship. Internal sensors indicate we've lost our main Asgard weaponry and several nuclear launch tubes. Power is also having trouble getting through to the forward sections; we are currently installing an additional ZPM in the auxiliary power room just outside the CIC." The Damage control officer reported.

"AI, make a list of who we have lost and the total damage. Damage control, start making repairs to the critical systems first. Air boss, tell our birds to land on the Pegasus or any other allied vessel." Pierce ordered, the first thing she needed to do was to bring order to chaos.

"The Pegasus asks if we need some of their DC teams." The Comm. officer said.

"Negative, most of those sections have just been incinerated and we have enough people on our own." Pierce said.

"We've lost 2378 crewmembers." The AI reported.

"Jesus Christ, that's over one fourth of the total crew." The XO said.

"Pegasus reports that most of the enemy fleet has been dispatched of, and that they are taking over the resurrection ship." The comm. Officer said.

"Can we send people out to investigate the damage from the outside?" Pierce asked.

"Negative, there are massive amounts of radiation out there, I wouldn't even let a Fighter take a look out there, and that's how dangerous it is. The DC officer said.

"Can we get the shields up again?" Pierce asked.

"Most of the shield emitters have been burned out by that energy wave. It will take a few hours to get new ones in place." The DC officer said.

"Sir, the Asgard are offering to tow the ship back to New Cobol." The comm. Officer said.

"Ask them to wait. I first want to have a complete list of what is wrong with the ship, can it fall apart when we enter hyperspace, and will the radiation cause interference, that kind of stuff." Pierce replied. The ship was very fragile at the moment and she didn't want to risk the ship breaking up when they enter hyperspace.

"Yes sir." The officer replied.

"General Pierce are you alright, you have a big wound on your head?" Lee asked.

"I'll be fine, let's get this over with." Pierce replied ignoring the big headache.

"I suggest we tow the Galactica and Cylon resurrection hub to an alliance shipyard as soon as possible." Thor said.

"The DC teams just gave the green light for a hyperspace jump." Pierce said, there were some small problems but they had all been fixed.

"How many crewmen did you lose?" Lee asked.

"About two and a half thousand, it will take about three months to repair the ship." Pierce said.

"Those offers will not be in vain. We have already confirmed that the resurrection hub will be able to give enough information for us to recreate our bodies as they were before we started to clone ourselves." Thor said he couldn't wait to live in a real body again.

"Allowing you to have children again and to actually grow in numbers." Lee said.

"That is correct." Thor replied.

"Lee, now that I will leave with the Galactica and Thor will leave with the Asgard forces, you will have to face the final battle on your own, you think you can handle it?" Pierce asked.

"I'm sure I can handle it. And with most of the squadrons from the Galactica my air wing will almost be doubled." Lee said.

"Do we already know what kind of energy wave that was?" Pierce asked.

"The wave burned out our shield emitters, we have already started to install replacements, it also caused your nuclear missile to explode, apparently it was already instable by a previous explosion nearby" Thor said.

"Is it likely to happen again?" Lee asked.

"No, we are currently upgrading your defences." Thor said.

"Lee, what is your plan of attack for the Cylon home world?" Pierce asked.

"Now the Asgard have what they need there is no reason to keep the Cylons alive." Lee said.

"You're going to use the main weapons aren't you?" Pierce said.

"Yes, we have what we need and there is no reason to allow the Cylons to live on, they killed the whole colonial civilization." Lee said.

"A recon drone reported that the Cylons have gathered all their ships at their homeworld, that's over 200 basestars, and they will all be launching raiders and missiles, how do you want to defend against that with only one battlestar and a few dozen frigates?" Pierce asked.

"I was hoping I could get your nuclear missiles. I will start with a surprise attack by raptors carrying nukes, they will jump in only a few hundred meters from the Cylons, they launch their nukes and jump out. The nukes will have a timer set for about 25 seconds, by that time the Cylons will have launched some raiders to intercept. As soon as the nukes explode, the rest of the fleet will jump in and finish of the ships in orbit. After that we will target the planet with the main guns and destroy the Cylon race once and for all." Lee said while he sketched the general idea on a whiteboard.

"It's a damned risky plan, but you will get my nukes, I don't need them anyways, and what are you going to do if those nukes don't destroy the Cylon fleet in orbit?" Pierce asked.

"Then my gunnery crews have something to shoot at." Lee replied.

"If your first strike fails you will not be able to handle yourselves without high casualties, let alone when your shields are down." Thor said.

"I thought you said it would not happen again." Pierce said.

"It is an untested upgrade, we can't be sure of it until we've tested it." Thor said.

"Well we can sit here and talk about it but someone needs to go out there to destroy the Cylons otherwise they'll figure something out that can really damage us and then we are lost." Lee said.

"Lee, I wish you the best of luck, when will you attack?" Pierce said.

"As soon as I've got word that you are in alliance territory." Lee said.

"That will only take a few hours." Thor stated.

"And in a few hours we will attack the Cylons." Lee said.

"We will leave in 15 minutes, good luck." Pierce said.

"Thank you general." Lee replied.

"Shall I beam you to your ship general Pierce?" Thor asked.

"Yes." Pierce said.

As Thor presses some buttons a white light engulfs Pierce and him and they are beamed to their ships.

As Lee picks up his phone he says: "XO, I want the ship ready for combat and have the senior staff assemble in the plot room."

CIC, Galactica not far from Alliance territory

"General, we have two more jumps to make until we reach Alliance space." A lieutenant said.

"The Asgard report that the next jump site is safe, we will jump in 5 minutes." The comm. Officer said.

"Sir, I have several hyperspace windows opening, no IFF yet." The sensor officer said.

"Raise shields and inform the Asgard." Pierce said.

"We have multiple Ha'tac's, it looks like it's the Lucian Alliance." The comm. Officer said.

"Tell the Asgard to jump the Resurrection hub and to prepare for battle." Pierce said.

"Sir, our dorsal shields are only at 12 percent strength and we only have minimal armament." The tactical officer said.

"They are heading for the resurrection hub and are powering weapons." The sensor officer said. "They do not respond to the Asgard's hails."

"Get us in between and power all available weapons." Pierce said. "We need to protect that hub otherwise this will all have been for nothing." Not wanting to have the resurrection hub ruined by a bunch of thieves.

"They are firing weapons." The tactical officer said as the ship rocked violently. "Shields are down to 10 percent."

"Return fire; ask the Asgard if they can engage as well." Pierce said.

"The Asgard are not responding I can only get some of the engineers on the Hub." The comm. Officer said.

"Tell them to jump to Alliance space immediately and signal for help." Pierce said.

"The hub is jumping away, the Asgard ships are still not responding." The sensor officer said. "I think I know what happened to the Asgard, they were targeted by a disrupting beam disrupting their holograms and interface."

"Our shields are down to 6 percent, we can't take much more than this." The tactical officer said.

"Send some of our people over to the Asgard ships to take command and attack the Lucian Alliance ships." Pierce said.

"Our shields are failing sir!" the tactical officer yelled over the noise of weapons fire hitting the bare hull. As all of the sudden the noise fades.

"The Asgard ships are moving, their Hammond has taken position over us." The sensor officer said.

"The remaining Lucian Alliance ships have been disabled." The tactical officer said.

As a console started beeping again the sensor officer said: "We have incoming alliance vessels. It's the 12th fleet from Langara."

"The cavalry is here." Pierce said. "Take the crews of those Ha'tac's prisoner." Every prisoner they could get was useful especially if they attacked a high value target.

"We are being hailed by the TFS Moscow." The comm. Officer said.

"Onscreen." Pierce said. The screen changed from a view of the battlefield to the bridge of the battleship Moscow. "General Vasilov, thank you for coming here."

"It looks like we just missed the party, can we help?" Vasilov asked.

"Just help us get the hell out of here please." Pierce said just wanting to get out of there.

"As you wish." Vasilov said.

As the screen changed to an outside view all the ships jumped to hyperspace.

"Good evening and I am Susan Mc Graw and we just received breaking news from our Reporter at New Cobol."

Thank you Susan, I am Greg Johnson and I am here on one of the shipyards of New Cobol where the massive battlestars are being refitted. Moments ago the Galactica landed here in the yard right behind me." As the camera changed to a view of the Galactica and several of her sister ships it became clear that there was something wrong. "As you can see the Galactica has been severely damaged, the reason why or the people responsible for it is not yet known. The Galactica was launched less than a month ago and went on a classified mission with the Pegasus, we have not yet received word from the Pegasus, for all we know it was destroyed but it might also be continuing its mission.

"Greg, has there been any activity around the Galactica?"

"Well immediately after they landed emergency force fields were lifted around the whole ship and people in hazmat suits are currently setting up a camp on top of the hull near the big crater suggesting it has something to do with nuclear weapons, the Battlestars are equipped with mark eleven nukes so it is possible that one of them self destructed in the tubes. But for the moment we don't know much."

"Alright, thank you Greg. So far we only know that the Galactica went on a secret mission some weeks ago and just returned battle scarred, we do not know anything else but we will be the first to know, keep tuned to CNN Milky Way to hear everything about this issue or log in on our website."

CIC, Pegasus

"General, we have received a message from the Galactica." The comm. Officer said.

"About damn time, what does it say?" Lee asked.

"Have been attacked by Lucian alliance vessels, are now in alliance space, you are clear to attack." The comm. Officer read.

"Alright, tell the rest of the strike force to prepare to attack in 5 minutes, have the CAG ready his fighters." Lee ordered. It was time to attack.

"Raptors are being launched and are taking up starting positions." A lieutenant said.

"T minus three minutes." A lieutenant said.

"Begin final preparations, bring shields to maximum power. Have the frigates test their close in weapons systems. Power up the weapons." Lee said. They needed to be ready when they would jump in.

"T minus two minutes, frigates report ready for combat, Raptors are in position and awaiting starting signal." The lieutenant said.

"Run a check on all systems!" Lee ordered.

"Shieldcrushers ready!" An officer said.

"Asgard weapons ready!" Another officer said.

"Point defence systems ready!" Yet another officer said.

"Missile batteries ready and safeties have been disabled!" An officer said.

"Railguns ready!" An officer said.

"Navigation is a go!" The Nav. officer said.

"Sensors are powered to max output." The sensor officer said.

"Communications are functioning." The Comm. officer said.

"Shields are powered at one hundred percent." The Tactical officer said.

"T minus one minute." The lieutenant said.

"The Chair is ready for you, the Drones have already been powered and command functions have been initialised." A technician said.

"General, the ship is ready for combat." The XO said.

"T minus 30 seconds." The Lieutenant said.

"Have the Raptors jump and fire their nukes." Lee said. The time to strike was now; the Cylons would get what they deserved.

The comm. Officer pushed some buttons and spoke into her headphone: "Strike force one, you have a go."

As the Raptors jumped away they left the battlestar and its frigates alone.

Cylon home world

As dozens of Raptors jump in the system filled with Cylon basestars they prepare to launch their missiles.

"All Raptors launch missiles now, now, NOW!" the lead raptor pilot said.

At the third now all raptors launched their missiles at their intended targets. Hundreds of nuclear missiles flew towards the surprised Cylon fleet.

"All Raptors jump back to Pegasus now." The same pilot said.

As the Raptors jumped away the surprised Cylons finally started to respond, raiders were launched and anti missile battery's opened fire on the incoming warheads. As the last raptor jumped out the first missiles hit their marks turning their targets into brief suns leaving not even debris behind as it was all incinerated by the nuclear blasts.

CIC, Pegasus

"Raptors have jumped back and report successful launch, they will be waiting here when we get back." The Comm. Officer said.

"Alright, jump in ten seconds." Lee ordered, the first part of the attack was finished now the second part was about to start.

As the Nav. Officer initiated the FTL jump protocols he said: "FTL jump in 5...4...3...2...1 jumping." At that moment the Pegasus and its frigates jumped into orbit over the Cylon home world. "Jump has been successful all ships are present and accounted for, we are where we are supposed to be."

"Sensors show massive destruction but it looks like some were able to bring up their defences or jump out of the system." The sensor officer said.

"Launch all fighters and all remaining Raptors, have them engage the remaining Cylon warships and have the weapons target help them." Lee ordered. He didn't want to take too long about it; this was payback for what happened several years before their rescue.

"Incoming Cylon baseships and one unidentified ship. Some of the baseships date from the first Cylon war. They are heading at 270 degrees of us and incoming awfully fast" The sensor officer said.

"Get that unidentified ship on screen." Lee ordered.

As the screen changed from overall view to the unidentified ships everyone gazed at the screen, it showed a huge ship easily ten times larger than a mercury class battlestar.

"That can't be possible, we destroyed all of them." Lee claimed there were only four Cylon warstars and they were all destroyed by an experimental weapon. The colonials also built several but they were all destroyed in the first strike of the Cylons.

"Sir?" an ensign asked.

As lee regained his posture he started giving orders. "Priority mission for all offensive weapons, they are to target that warstar and take it out at all costs. Have the fighters change course, they are to stay close to our own ships and take down any missiles and fighters launched by that warstar."

As the warstar opened fire massive railgun rounds impacted the shields of the Tau'ri Vessels doing massive damage to the shields. After the first salve proved ineffective hordes of missiles and fighters were launched.

"We have incoming missiles and fighters, the skies are blackened by them." The tactical officer said.

"Change course to two seven zero and prepare the main cannons, all of them." Lee said. They needed to take this ship out; it alone could destroy the whole fleet so it had to be taken down.

"Dozens of missiles and fighters are breaking through our outer defence barrier, close in weapons are engaging." The tactical officer said. The close in weapons systems or CIWS were fast firing GAU-24's capable of firing 8000 rounds per minute and having an effective range of 12 kilometres, the Pegasus had 126 deployed all over her hull, and the frigates had a total of 22 each.

As the CIWS started to fire most of the missiles were destroyed and the few that made it through impacted the shields doing little to no damage.

"Course two seven zero set, main weapons are charged." The tactical officer said.

"Fire at will, tell all our fighters to stay clear of the beam." Lee said.

As the Pegasus fired its 8 main weapons more and more missiles made it through the defensive barrier. As the beams of the main weapons hit they tore several huge holes in the ships but they were unable to destroy it and the warstar continued to come close and was still firing most if its weapons.

"Sir, the beams did not disable the warstar, it is still coming for us, and it looks like they want to ram us." The sensor officer said.

"Fire the main weapons again." Lee said.

"They need to reload; they will be ready in 25 seconds. The enemy vessel will hit us in 30 seconds." A lieutenant said.

"Transfer all available power to forward shields and tie in the other three ZPM's to our shields and have the ship prepare for collision and a possible boarding." Lee said. In the first Cylon war, the Cylons regularly used their larger and stronger ships to ram colonial battlestars and board them if there was anything left.

"Yes sir." The tactical officer said. As he pushed some buttons the loudspeakers came on. "Prepare for collision. All security teams are to arm and take their positions and prepare for a boarding."

As the warstar came closer more and more weapons fired on it doing a lot of damage but not enough, the warstar kept on coming.

"Ten seconds till collision." The XO said.

"Fire the main weapons as soon as they are charged." Lee said.

"Firing main weapons." The tactical officer said.

As the main weapons fired again they destroyed seven of the eight flight pods and several other sections were blown off, but unfortunately it had enough speed to keep going. With a mighty crash the warstar rammed the smaller battlestar, severely weakening the shields and totally destroying the warstar.

"Shields are about to fail!" The tactical officer yelled over the noise.

"The warstar is destroyed, only small pieces will hit us now, shields are at 12 percent." The sensor officer said.

"Sir, we have been boarded, fast response units are engaging the enemy." The tactical officer said.

"How the hell did they get past our shields, what is the status of our shields?" Lee asked.

"When the warstar impacted the shields on the starboard flight pod were interrupted briefly, several heavy raiders were able to get through before the shields were repowered." The Tactical officer said.

"XO, make sure it is contained, take personal command. Tactical officer, what is the status of the battle?" Lee said.

"We lost 2 frigates and a total of 3 squadrons of avengers. We have destroyed most of the basestars and are now concentrating on the orbital and planetary defences." The Tactical officer said.

"Target the planet with the main weapons as soon as possible." Lee ordered, this fight needed an end before they had even more losses.

"Yes sir, we are almost in position." The nav. Officer said.

As most of the remaining basestars are reduced to dust the Pegasus moves into position over the planet and powers its main weapons.

"We are in position, the main weapons have been charged." The tactical officer said.

"Fire!" Lee said.

As the main weapons fire eight massive beams shoot out towards the planet.

The places hit by the beams are vaporised while huge blast waves rush over the planet surface destroying everything they come in contact with even underground bunkers.

"The planet is clean sir, the weapons was successful." The sensor officer said.

"Okay." As lee picked up the phone he started to talk. " Everyone, may I have your attention, we have finally destroyed the Cylon home planet, we have had huge casualties but in the end the attack on the colonies has been avenged, I would normally congratulate you but we just destroyed a civilization something I hope not to do again, that's all."

As Lee puts the phone down an ensign said "So say we all" and soon the whole fleet yelled it.

"I want casualty's reports on my desk in thirty minutes. Comm. Send a message to fleet headquarters, tell them we have successfully accomplished the mission and that we have one enemy less." Lee said.

As a chorus of acknowledges were yelled the ship stood down from condition one.

CNN UNIVERSE

"This is CNN UNIVERSE; I am Susan MC Graw with a government broadcast about the situation on the Galactica and the Pegasus. We first have a statement of President Hayes."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for interrupting the normal programming but I felt compelled to make everyone aware of the following. At around eleven hundred hours last night the battlestar Pegasus and escorts attacked the Cylon home world, they were successful and destroyed anything on the planet. The Pegasus along with its sister ship the Galactica left New Cobol orbit several days ago to go on a secret mission, its orders were to return to the Colonies and destroy any Cylon ship present, in addition they needed to secure the Cylon resurrection hub, this was to help the Asgard. After they secured the colonies they moved towards the resurrection hub, there they encountered some unknown technology and their shields were disabled, after several hits on the Galactica one of the mark eleven nukes overloaded causing massive damage on the ship and killing over two thousand crewmembers. After the forces secured the resurrection hub the Galactica and the attached Asgard fleet escorted the resurrection hub back towards alliance space. Before they reached alliance space they were attacked by the Lucian alliance, apparently they wanted to destroy the Resurrection hub and with that the answer to the Asgard download problem. After the Galactica fended of the attack they escorted the hub towards Langaran space docks were it will be studied by all the members of the alliance. In the meantime the Pegasus launched an attack against the Cylon home world. After a fierce battle with losses on our side they gained the upper hand, after the fleet and defences were destroyed, General Lee Adama fired the main cannons and thereby destroyed anything on the planet. The Lucian Alliance has once again showed its hostility towards the Tau'ri federation and the alliance and therefore we will request the alliance to take action against the Lucian Alliance. I thank you all and in two days there will be a minute of silence and I request everyone to remember those who have fallen by the hands of the Cylons.

Alliance fleet headquarters, Heliopolis

"Generals Pierce and Adama, Supreme Commander Thor, welcome to this debriefing of the mission, present here are Generals Mitchell, Carter and Lorne, Teal'c, Lya, marshal Serran, Freyr, Thrud and Heimdall." Mitchell said.

"General Pierce as you was the overall commander in the beginning why don't you start." Carter said.

"Yes sir. After we left New Cobol shipyards, we linked up with our escort ships and the Pegasus. When we reached our destination, 12 light years out of Caprica we did an extensive sensor sweep and detected numerous basestars over the colonies. We started to attack the basestars and rescue the citizens left on the surface, we were able to rescue about seven thousand. After the colonies were cleared we located the resurrection hub and prepared to attack. During the attach we the Cylons deployed a weapon that disabled all our shields, two of the frigates were damaged and the battlestars were also receiving massive fire. For an unknown reason one of Galactica's mark eleven nukes went critical and detonated causing serious damage to the Galactica, fortunately we already beamed out all other nuclear weapons and activated emergency force fields. After the detonation I called the Asgard and told them to jump in, together we destroyed the remaining basestars and secured the hub." Pierce said.

"As soon as we made some critical repairs to the Galactica, the Asgard and Galactica moved towards alliance space. Two jumps before alliance space we were attacked by Lucian alliance vessels, the Galactica shielded the hub while the 12th fleet was called in to assist; they arrived just when the battle was over and escorted us to Langara." Thor continued

"When we received word from General Pierce that she was in alliance space we started the attack, we first sent a group of about 300 raptors all carrying two mark 9 nukes. As soon as we received word from the raptors that they fired their missiles we jumped in to finish the job. After several minutes an unknown ship and escorts jumped in, we later identified it as a Cylon warstar. We fired our main weapons at the ship in an attempt to destroy it, after the first salvo it was still coming and only after the second salvo we destroyed it but at that time they were already very close so a lot of debris hit us, severely damaging our shields. After some more fighting we destroyed all ships and orbital defences and we targeted the planet with the main weapons and destroyed it." Lee finished.

"What could have been done different?" Carter asked.

"Well, I think that if we had some more support in the form of battle cruisers or perhaps a few battleships we would have had less casualties as they would be able to perform additional offensive operations." General Pierce said. The Battlestars were a formidable weapon but they only had two of them so their options were limited and the frigates were not designed to perform large military operations, only defensive missions for larger ships.

"How about the Asgard ships?" Serran asked.

"Although they are powerful the Asgard ships are not as powerful as they once were and I did not want to risk the Asgard lives more than they already were." Pierce said. Until the Asgard will be able to download or reproduce every loss would be permanent and there weren't many of them left.

"Are you suggesting that our ships are not powerful?" Thrud asked. Thrud was quickly offended by anyone especially people who he deemed 'lower' than him.

"Thrud, you know as well as the rest of us that our might is not as what it used to be, General Pierce is right about that, our current existence leaves us with several weaknesses as shown in the attack by the Lucian alliance." Thor said while hovering toward the other Asgard. Several Asgard which would travel much had specially made platforms which housed their entire conscience, a holographic projector and several other things to enable them to stay mobile.

"Did you have to completely destroy their race?" Lya asked. Lya as a Nox was always against violence, the only reason why they joined the alliance was to influence the warlike nature of the Alliance.

"Lya, they destroyed another civilization just because they were their parents and according to them parents need to die for their children to come to their full potential, I think that would justify some sort of death sentence for their entire race." Lorne said.

"No matter what, we will have to live with it as we cannot undo it." Mitchell said.

"Have the scientists at Langara been able to get useful information of the hub?" Lee asked changing the subject.

"Yes, we have. Ours scientists estimate that it will take about two months before we can begin building new bodies." Heimdall said.

"We currently only know seven out of twelve models of Cylons, are you going to imitate them?" Lee asked.

"No, in the database we gave to the Tau'ri are the blueprints for new bodies, they will be just like before we started to clone ourselves so we will be able to reproduce again." Freyr said.

"Alright then this meeting is finished and I will brief the council about the matter." Teal'c said.

"Now that we are together, I wish to discuss another subject." Marshall Serran of the Hebridians said.

"And what may that be Serran?" Lya asked.

"The Alliance galaxy command ships." Serran replied. The alliance galaxy command ships were supposed to be the best and strongest ships to be built. Every galaxy would get one and there would be a spare ship. They would be used as mobile command centres for all alliance activity in a galaxy so that it would be more difficult to destroy the alliance leadership.

"Proceed." Teal'c said.

"Maybe we could use the designs from those warstars for this new ship, it would solve several issues." Serran said. Currently the designers couldn't agree on size shape or weapons.

"The warstars we built were used as command ships." Lee said.

"This might be a good idea, but to be honest there are way more people involved in this than just us, we would get all the designers and leaders in on this." Carter said.

"Alright, we will discuss this later." Teal'c said. As the other people nodded their heads in agreement he stood up and left the room.

Interrogation room 6C prison planet Beta 2, classified location

"I demand a representative, Alliance law orders you to provide adequate counsel, When I get out I will have your head over this, I have rights to you know." The man in an orange overall yelled at his guards.

"If you would calm down we could tell you that counsel is underway." The interrogator said.

"Really, when will he be here?" The man asked surprised.

"In about six million years, his ship only has sublight engines you know." The interrogator said laughing at his companion who walked behind the prisoner.

"You're Lucian alliance, they are not with our alliance, and as they are not our enemy's... yet, you are being held as, well I really don't have a clue but the layers will make something up. The fact is that you were a captain of a Lucian alliance vessel that attack an unscheduled transport and nearly destroyed the only hope for the Asgard, and we want to know how you became aware of it, so start talking, NOW!" the second interrogator said.

"Even if I knew what you want to know I would never tell you Tau'ri scum." The prisoner said while also trying to spit to the interrogators.

"Ow common, we know you know it, we found several references to files that have been deleted. Wanna tell me about that?"

"You're talking shit, that's not true and you know it." The man said.

"If you don't start cooperating you will be executed and it will not be nice, we currently have several very hungry Wraith which we need to interrogate and they are willing to tell us what we want if we give them a snack, so to speak." The second interrogator said while leaning close to the prisoners head.

"You wouldn't do that, that's a violation of your laws; you would get court marshalled for that." The prisoner said.

"Well, nobody needs to know you were ever here, you see that camera up there, the red light is of you see, that means we are not recording anything being said in here or done for that matter." The first interrogator said. The cameras were just for show, internal sensors did pick up and record anything being said and done in the room, but the prisoner didn't know that.

"Weren't they transporting a new wraith to the interrogation room next door? The other man asked.

"Yeah, I think so. Why don't we just let that wraith in here so you and him can have a nice little chat and you know, eat a little bit." The other mans said.

As the prisoner watched both interrogators he heard loud stamping on the corridor his eyes became large as he realized the two men weren't bluffing.

"Okay, okay, I might know something about the Intel but it isn't much." The prisoner said.

"Alright, start talking." The interrogator said.

"The Lucian Alliance has been in contact with a race called the Cylons and they asked us to destroy that hub at all costs and as my fleet was closest we were dispatched to destroy the hub. Instead of a light defended target we found an Asgard fleet and one of your battlestars, we were slaughtered by them." The man said.

"Did you give the Cylons any technology?" the interrogator asked.

"We gave them some things to disrupt shields and that kind of things." The man confessed.

"Well, that answers some questions, thank you for the information, you will be charged with piracy, and because you gave up this information we will put in a good word with the judge, thank you." The second interrogator said and they walked out.
