A/N: To Guest: I'm not sure about the Goa'uld weapons reaching the yield of the Horizon's. Maybe it could, or maybe it could not. There's no canonical (not fanon) evidence I know about. As for the drones, I have watched that episode where Todd tells Sheppard that he won't bring the Daedalus to Lantea because Atlantis may use a drone to disable the hyperdrive. However, given that SGA actually SHOWED the Asgard shields stopping the drone weapons during the Battle of Asura (SGA), I'm inclined to say that the shields do stop the drones. It's also mentioned in the Stargate Wiki that Asgard shields stop drones, but it drains power from the shields (which is what happened in 'The Return'). As for why Todd would say that drones would go through the Asgard shields? Well, I doubt he's had much experience with Asgard shielding even if he did overtake the Daedalus for the majority of the two-part episode. And if I remember correctly, Ronon destroyed many of the controls so that the Wraith wouldn't gain access to sensitive information. The Wraith are under the impression, and most rightly, that the drones could go through any shielding.. so the fact that the Asgard shields could stop drones would be unknown to them.
Paris, Earth.
Pain travelled through Willow and Vala's bodies as Quetesh tightened her mental grip on their hearts. Willow gritted her teeth while using her own telekinetic abilities to try prying the 'fingers' off her own heart and those around Vala's heart as well. She was, at the same time, fighting off an attack that threatened to break through her mental defences.
It felt like thousands of dangers were being smashed through her mental defences while she and Vala opened their mouths to gasp for air. Sweat covered Willow's forehead as they waited, in pain, for the Melbourne to exit hyperspace and deposit the Ark of Truth and an anti-Prior weapon.
It would be a few seconds later that the three of them heard a screeching sound, followed by a flash of bright white light.
And just as it appeared, the fingers around the hearts of Willow and Vala were gone. Willow opened her eyes and pulled back her head to glare at a surprised Quetesh. The redhead panted as blood started to once again rush through her body. She could hear the 'thump' of blood rushing behind her ears as she closed her eyes and breathed deeply, and then exhaled when she heard a groan. Willow then turned her head and looked at a groaning Vala before the both of them slowly got up to their feet while Quetesh rubbed the sides of her head in confusion as she took a few steps back. Willow knew what was going on; Quetesh had her powers nullified, and the shock of not being able to use her powers was slightly dizzying.
And Willow should know, especially since she was feeling dizzy as well from having her mental abilities suddenly nullified too.
However, the redhead didn't want to show it. She glanced at Vala and their eyes met. The two had fought together, served together on SG-1 enough times to know what the other was thinking without needing telepathy. Vala nodded her head and rushed for the Ark. Quetesh regained her balance and glared at Vala running towards the Ark, and yelled, "No!" Quetesh then took off running after Vala while Willow ran after Quetesh, her legs pumping against the floor as hard as possible to reach the former Orici.
"Adria!" yelled Willow as she tackled Quetesh to the ground just as the latter was about to grab onto Vala. The two of them fell on the floor just as Vala placed her hand on the top of the Ark. Vala looked to the left as Quetesh and Willow rolled on the floor. Vala then turned back to the Ark while Willow lay with her back on the floor with Adria on top, straddling her as she delivered a punch across Willow's face.
And then another one. And another one.
Willow blocked the third punch with her left arm and swung with her right so that her fist hit the side of Adria's face. Adria's head snapped to the right thanks to the impact of Willow's fist, and then she was shoved off. Adria quickly got to her feet while Willow lifted her legs up and then pushed herself off the floor while Quetesh rushed after Vala once again.
Willow ran once again after her and tackled Quetesh to the floor. Willow was now on top of the former Orici as she struggled to hold Adria down while the latter flailed her hands about. Willow needed Quetesh to be conscious, which was the only way the Ark could work. However, Quetesh was resisting; punching Willow's side repeatedly.
"Ah!" Willow yelped after the second hit as Quetesh flipped her over while Vala finished pressing the buttons. The dome on the cover of the Ark glowed red, indicating to Vala that the code she input was correct. As Vala opened the cover to the Ark, the former Orici was on top of Willow and had started to strangle her. The redhead felt her breathing restricted as two thumbs pressed down on her trachea. Quetesh's eyes glowed as she stared down the redhead and hissed through gritted teeth, "I can feel Adria's anger. She wants to be the one doing this, Athena. But I am the one who will be getting satisfaction from keeping her away and killing you. And then I kill Vala, and then…."
Willow reached up and grabbed Quetesh's neck, making the woman stop talking, with one hand. The redhead pushed through the pain as she punched the side of Quetesh's face with her other hand. She continued to punch again and again. The both of them had blood trickling down the sides of their lips as a result of the punches being delivered by each other.
'Thwack,' Quetesh's head snapped to the side as Willow punched Quetesh again. And then again until the grip around Willow's neck weakened. It was then, once the cover to the Ark was completely open that Vala rushed around the Ark and ran to Willow's aid.
With Quetesh's back to her, Vala reached down and then put Quetesh into a stranglehold from behind as Vala's arm crossed over Quetesh's neck. She then raised her off Willow, "stop struggling Adria, or else you'll stop breathing!" Vala then tightened her arm into Quetesh's neck while she twisted one of the latter's arms behind her back. Willow then quickly got up off the floor and delivered a punch across Quetesh's face before grabbing, and then squeezing her lower jaw tight.
"Stop fighting!" hissed Willow as she stared at Quetesh while Vala subdued her from behind. Vala's arm was around Quetesh's neck, and her arm was pulled back. Quetesh stopped struggling as she panted and stared at Willow, whose hand gripped the lower part of her face tight, with eyes full of hatred.
"It's over, Adria," Willow, panting, said as the former Orici narrowed her eyes at the redhead while Vala whispered that the Ark was ready.
Willow quickly darted a hand towards Adria's throat, grabbed the choker, and then pulled it off before throwing it over her shoulder. Quetesh saw the amulet, a piece of the Palace of the Gods on the planet Celestis, attached to the black choker fall onto the floor with a 'clink' sound. Her eyes, full of rage, shifted back to Willow.
"You end today, Quetesh," Willow said, "no more Goa'uld, and then no more Ori." Willow then glanced at Vala and nodded her head. Vala then forced Quetesh around, pushing her forward while Willow held onto Quetesh's upper arm and dragged her forward while she was screaming.
"No! Stop! No! I am a god! I am a god!"
"Sure you are," Vala whispered as she and Willow dragged Adria to the Ark. Vala then, once they were close, pushed Quetesh's head down to stare at the inside of the Ark. Willow too had her hand on the back of Quetesh's head while the latter screamed.
"You're making a mistake," Adria bellowed as her eyes glowed while staying into the darkness within the Ark.
However, where there should have been a light that activated from inside to stream the 'truth' directly into the mind of the ones who needed to be reprogrammed with information that the Ori were false deities, there was nothing.
When Quetesh looked into the opening, the light didn't activate. Vala stared at Quetesh whose shoulders were trembling as she continued looking into the opening of the ark before mockingly saying, "Oh no, please. Don't. No. You're making a big mistake. Mother, no."
Willow was standing to the left as Quetesh then started to laugh.
Willow and Vala stared at each other with their eyes opened wide in stunned silence. Questesh's laughter echoed throughout the chamber as Vala let go of her daughter and stood back while shaking her head. Willow and Vala watched Quetesh grab the edges of the Ark as she laughed hysterically while shaking her head.
"I know about the Ark!" Adria laughed as she continued to stare into the darkness within the Ark, "and it will not work on me." Calming down in a few seconds, Quetesh then looked up and stared at Vala and Willow with pure rage and hate in her eyes, "my host knows about the Ark. And she knows the truth about the Ori. She knows what the Ori really are... but she still served them willingly. The Ark was never going to work on this body. You failed, Athena, Vala. The both of you failed because this is my body. And I will stay here."
"Then we'll tranquillize you, and put you into prison when we get back to Lantea," Willow said as Vala reached out into her holster and took out a weapon that looked similar to a Desert Eagle used hundreds of years ago. "And once we get back to Pegasus, we…"
"I would rather…" Quetesh dashed forward towards Willow. But she was interrupted by Vala who was very aware that they had no idea how long the Anti-Prior weapon would last against her daughter. She aimed the weapon, which they hadn't used earlier since they needed Quetesh conscious for the Ark to work, and prepared to fire.
"You will do nothing, Quetesh," Vala said as she depressed the trigger. Instead of a bullet being shot out of the barrel, a ball of charged energy shot out and hit Quetesh. She closed her eyes, groaned, and then collapsed onto the floor as blue energy crackled on her body while both Willow and Vala panted. The latter woman then walked over to the Ark, which she realised to her disappointed was never needed, and then walked over to the Anti-Prior weapon and turned it off. Once the lights on the device at the edge of the device blinked for the last time, Willow felt her powers return.
However, there was a slight problem.
They didn't have the location of the planet the Stargate in the Presidio was connected. And according to earlier reports, there were still impact strikes on the shield covering the event horizon. Willow then sighed and turned to Vala who had her hands at the edges of the Ark after she closed the cover. The woman stared at the symbols in the dome, on the cover, and then hung her head.
"I thought this could work," Vala whispered shaking her head.
"We didn't think it through, Vala," Willow replied taking the four steps towards her friend, "it was a decision we made at the last minute. But it was worth a try."
"We should have known that she already knew the truth about the Ori," Vala whispered shaking her head before looking behind her at the unconscious Quetesh, and then back at Willow who pursed her lips together. The redhead didn't know what to say, but she knew that Vala was right. They should have known. It was another failure in their hurry to defend Earth from the Ori and the Goa'uld.
She knew that there would be a lot of questions that needed to be answered.
But Willow could relax a little with the knowledge that Quetesh was stopped. They may not have been able to reprogram her, but the Ori were finally stopped. Quetesh would languish in prison where they could use nanites to nullify her power while she lived out her life in a Virtual Reality prison.
As several thoughts ran through her mind, Willow stopped at one in particular that would enable Vala to have her daughter back in another way.
"The Ark was programmed for Priors to see the truth, that the Ori were not gods and that they would not ascend people to the higher planes," Willow whispered as she lay a hand on Vala's shoulder, "that's the key word, Vala. It was 'programmed'. Which means it could be reprogrammed to do whatever we want."
Vala then turned her head towards Willow with an inquisitive look on her face.
"We never thought about reprogramming it because… well… it worked like it was supposed to for us," Willow continued as Valla turned towards the redhead and tilted her head while looking on thoughtfully, "but if we could reprogram it? Then we could have Adria forget about the Ori. I mean completely forget about who she is… what she is."
"Can't you just rewrite her mind?" asked Vala.
"You know I can't," Willow answered shaking her head, "I can't read her mind while the Goa'uld is in there. And I can't rewrite her mind once we get it out because… well… she is an Ori. She could unconsciously undo my mental fixes to her memories. It's better to reprogram the Ark. And then once we do… we use it on her. It would completely change who she is, Vala. And once we've finished using it, we then throw it back into the Omega site."
"We're talking about taking away who she is," Vala whispered, "I know she's Ori, I know she's my daughter, but…"
"It's something to think about," Willow said as she looked at the unconscious Adria, and then at Vala, "I leave it up to you. If you don't want to do that? We'll neutralise her powers, and she'll remain imprisoned for the rest of her life as Adria the Orici. She's too dangerous to be running free."
"I know," Vala whispered as she walked towards her daughter, and then crouched down to place a hand on her left cheek. Vala knew she had a lot to think about. She then stood back up while staring at her unconscious daughter. Vala and Willow were aware that Adria was fully unconscious, even the symbiote was unconscious, as they turned and walked towards the Ark.
Willow tapped on the earpiece she was wearing and was about to call for a beam out when the two of them stopped walking. Vala and Willow looked at each other upon hearing a groaning sound throughout the chamber, followed by a tremor, and then the floor beneath them started to shake. Vala spun on her heels and stared in stunned silence as Adria's eyes snapped open while Willow rushed to the Anti-Prior device to reactivate it. However before Willow could even take another step, just before reaching the device with her outstretched hands, it was explosively shattered. An explosion so violent that Willow formed a shield around herself and Vala to guard against the flying debris that penetrated the walls.
Vala stepped back as Adria started to get back on her feet. The Orici glared at her mother while her eyes burned red as the latter stood next to Willow who turned around and faced the Orici. The redhead felt the air ripple before her skin felt a burning sensation. Suddenly, Adria released a loud bloodcurdling scream along with a massive telekinetic burst that tore the Ark apart. Willow raised a shield around herself and Vala, but that did nothing to prevent them from being flung backwards.
The two of them rolled in the air until they were stopped by their shoulders slamming against the seats, and then they rolled and slammed into another row of seats. The both of them then dropped down to the footpath in between the rows as Willow lowered the shield and groaned. She rubbed the side of her head as she lay on the floor while Vala groaned behind her in another row.
While she watched Willow and Vala groaning in pain, Adria reached out with one of her hands and then slowly brought it to the base of her neck. Her consciousness had been trying to break through Quetesh's hold on her very being ever since she was awakened, and now.. with Quetesh disabled… Adria's consciousness pushed itself through. It was all thanks to Adria's will power, and her hate for both Willow and her mother.
Adria had 'seen' Quetesh fail, and she was angry... Adria was enraged that Quetesh dared to attempt vengeance instead of her. She laughed when Quetesh fell since she was never able to access the full power of an Orici… Adria may not have been able to control her own body, but she was able to hold back sufficient power as an act of defiance.
And now? Now Adria herself was free to get rid of the creature and regain control of her body. Adria remained calm while staring at Vala who was slowly pulling herself up to her feet.
While staring at her daughter, Vala limped to the stairs that would bring her to one row down so that she could help Willow to her feet. Adria stared at her mother while her hand hovered over the base of her neck and glowed red. Adria gritted her teeth as she felt the symbiote at the base of her neck vibrate and heat up.
But Adria pushed through the pain as she stifled a scream while the symbiote slowly burned away. The remainder of the creature then was absorbed into her blood stream. Adria felt a tingling sensation go through her whole body as she panted while bring her hand down by her side; she was finally in control as she turned her head and smiled at the shattered remains of the Ark and the Anti-Prior device. She then turned and stared at her choker which lay on the floor. She lifted a hand, and then mentally pulled it towards her while Willow was pulled up to her feet.
"Get out of here," Willow rasped while preparing a massive mental attack at Adria. She stared at Vala who suddenly had her eyes wide opened while grabbing her own neck. Before she could say anything, Willow felt a lump in her throat blocking her airway. Her eyes open wide as she gripped onto her own throat while staring at Vala.
"Feel that?" asked Adria as she aimed a fist at the both of them while mentally attaching the choker to her neck, "mother? It is so good to finally see you again. I see you're still working against me even after all this time. I am so disappointed in you." Adria then looked at Willow who stumbled sideways and leaned against the seats in front of her while sweat started to pour down her cheeks while she felt spikes being driven through her mental defences. They were torn apart as her concentration was lost while what felt like daggers were being stabbed into her mind, "and Athena. Still so weak?"
Willow closed her eyes and gripped the seats while her lips were slowly turning blue. Her lungs were burning, begging for air, while she heard mental screams from Vala who was stumbling towards her until she grabbed the redhead's hand. It was a surprise for both of them. They believed that Adria was being supressed by the Goa'uld, and would have still been suppressed even if the Goa'uld was unconscious.
Willow continued to try concentrate while blinding pain tore through her head from Adria's mental assault. She was trying to gather as much power as she could while her mind, her lungs, her skin, and her legs burned from lack of oxygen. In the meantime, Vala's trembling hands reached for her holster, and took out the Tau'ri version of a Zat gun. She lifted her arms and placed it on the edge of the top section of the seats in front of her. Vala pressed the trigger. A burst was fired. A burst that impacted against Adria's personal shield emitted from the choker.
"Oh, mother. You disappoint me!" yelled Adria as she mentally grabbed the gun and tore it out of Vala's hand. Willow opened her eyes wide and turned to Vala, then back at Adria as the redhead felt air rippling around her. "The last time we fought, my mother helped you, Athena! My own traitorous Mother betrayed the Orici! Now, you have no more help!" Vala eyes were opened wide in terror as she and Willow looked at each other before Vala was flung into a mass of debris. Willow wanted to scream when she saw Vala's body being flung towards several sharp edged pieces of metal from one of the torn rows of seats on the other side of the chamber.
Willow's body was burning and it was hard to concentrate. But she just managed a telekinetic burst that shifted Vala's trajectory, and head felt like it was about to explode. Vala then fell on a space filled with rubble, instead of the metal spears which would have surely killed her.
"Uphhh!" Vala groaned after she crashed onto the debris. Dust kicked up and then settled onto Vala's back while Adria smiled at her mother before she turned to Willow who was staring at her before she closed her eyes.
"You saved her," Adria said as she mentally gripped Willow's mind and squeezed while the blinding pain travelled down her neck, her spine, and then through her entire nervous system. The redhead collapsed on her knees with her face twisted in pain, her left elbow was propped on the back of the seats while her right hand was lying flat on the bottom of a seat as she tried to scream at the feeling of her mind being ripped apart.
While Adria was tearing through Willow's mind, she mentally squeezed Willow's heart, contracted her lungs, and then squeezed her trachea. Willow couldn't concentrate as she opened her eyes wide. And with her vision starting to blur, Willow's eyes shifted for a weapon she could use… a weapon light enough to carry through the pain that was emanating from her heads.
And then her eyes stopped at the weapon Vala had used earlier. The one she used to fire a grenade at Adria; it was now set to fire armour piercing rounds. It lay on the far side of the chamber, on the platform Adria was standing on. But Willow's started to feel numb as the pain slowly vanished. She was starting to get dizzy as she glared at Adria.
"I'm a god, Athena," Adria said as she stepped off the platform, took a few steps forward, and then walked up the stairs to where Willow was on her knees, and about to collapse, "and look at you. You were supposed to have been more powerful. More… oh."
Adria read Willow's mind once all the latter's mental defences were obliterated and saw the war against the Wraith, and Willow fighting in the front lines as a General. "Interesting," Adria said excitedly as Willow fell onto the floor, her eyes became red thanks to the blood vessels erupting, "a General fighting monsters using your piddly gifts? You thought you got rid of me, so you became complacent? You never improved, did you? Or you thought your improvements were enough for the Wraith?
Willow glared at Adria who read her mind. Adria saw Willow training her abilities, but it still wasn't enough against someone who had the very knowledge of how to use their Ascended abilities. And Adria pointed out that very fact, "I have all of the Ori's experiences and knowledge. Millions of years' worth of knowledge, in fact. And you believed that nine hundred years would see you through? You thought that you could improve so drastically in a blink of an eyes?" Adria then chucked as she looked down at Willow, "Your arrogance is unbelievable, Athena. Just like an Ancient."
Willow felt her body becoming heavy while mental 'fingers' reached into the deepest reaches of her mind and squeezed. A form of blinding pain cut through the numbness in Willow's body, a pain intense than anything she had experienced before. Willow stared at Adria through red tinted vision while listening to the latter bragging.
At the same time, Willow locked her jaw as beads of sweat trickled down her face. Willow tried to fight through the pain, the horrible pain, and continued to gathered as much power as possible.
And Adria continued to mock Willow on her failure to improve her own powers. Adria continued to say that she was a being with all the knowledge and powers of an Ori, and Willow was simply a facsimile of a race about to be extinct.
"After you die?" Adria gloated as she crouched down while Willow glared at her, "I will burn Dawn… or is it Hera? What do you call your Lantean sister?" Adria stared at the redhead whose lips were a bright blue, as were her cheeks Adria looked on impressed, "you still fight. But it's no matter. Once you and her die, the final two living Ancients will have died. And then, I win." Adria then leaned forward until she was nearly nose to nose with Willow, "hallowed are the Ori."
Adria was close enough.
Willow mentally tore the choker off Adria and then another gathered burst pushed the Orici, who was chuckling at Willow's vain attempt to try and defeat her.
"What was that?" laughed Adria while she was pushed back a few steps. Suddenly, she grunted after being hit in the back of her head. Adria then spun around in a rage while grabbing the back of her head. She then heard something clattering behind her. Adria turned around just as Willow used what remained of her powers to pull the trigger on the weapon.
It was seconds ago that the weapon spun towards them after Willow mentally picked it up, and then it hit the back of Adria's head. When Adria turned to see what hit her, the weapon fell to the floor and Willow, her body already heavy, mind confused and in excruciating pain, pulled the weapon towards her as she forced herself up on one knee.
Willow picked it up mentally and then pulled the trigger as Adria turned. Willow blasted Adria's mind once again to distract her while the bullet flew through the air, and then went through Adria's chest. Willow saw the Orici's eyes widen. But now, Willow could breathe again as Adria stepped back and stared down at the blood seeping down from the hole in the middle of her chest.
Taking a deep breath as she stumbled up on shaking feet, Willow felt her powers returning as well. And she was not going to hold back. Willow slammed a mental battering ram into Adria and slammed her against the edges of a row of seats behind her. Not wanting to give Adria a second to breathe, Willow literally blocked Adria's airway, just as the latter had done to Willow and Vala.
However, she felt Adria pushing back as she got back up to her feet. Willow immediately slammed her into the far wall and while she hung there laughing, Willow continued to fire one burst after another. The wall started to crack as Willow continued slamming her with telekinetic blasts. Willow then waved her hands, screamed, and telekinetically flung Adria into a row of seats. Just as Adria impacted against the seats, Willow reinforced her mental defences and then, while her headache was considerably lesser than before, fire a stream of greyish-white energy at Adria who was slowly getting up to her feet.
The energy burst hit Adria, who was then flung into the adjacent row of seats. Willow grabbed the back of one of the seats to keep her balance since she felt as if her surroundings were spinning around. Willow panted while blood trickled down her nose as she fired another energy burst at Adria who was stumbling back up to her feet. The burst hit Adria, who was then flung back into some still intact seats. Her back hit the seats, and then her body was grabbed mid-air by Willow and then slammed into the far wall.
'This has to end,' Willow thought as she stumbled back towards the weapon while she continued to fire one mental burst after another with Adria pinned against the far wall. The 'boom' caused by the mental blast impacting Adria reverberated throughout the chamber. Cracks appeared on the wall behind Adria as Willow pushed her mind.
But each successive burst was getting weaker with Willow reaching her limit. Her body was screaming for a rest as she reached the weapon, crouched down, and then groaned while picking it up and then turning around. She got on one knew and brought up the weapon. She aimed it at Adria without any hesitation.
'You're too powerful,' Willow thought while she fired another weakened mental burst to pin Adria to the wall several meters away, 'sorry Vala, again.' Willow knew that Vala held out hope that Adria could be rehabilitated, she knew that Vala wanted her daughter alive. But Adria was too dangerous to take prisoner. Willow aimed the weapon and then pulled back the finger laying on the trigger. But before the rounds could fire out the barrel, Willow felt a violent rippled in the air just before she was mentally pushed. Her body spun through the air before landing hard onto the platform with a thud. The weapon was torn out of her grasp and it fell onto the floor in the middle of two rows of seats.
Willow groaned as she rolled onto her back. Pain wracked through her body while Adria, who was also injured, fell on the floor and lay on her side. Both of their bodies had already started to heal the injuries, but it didn't help with the exhaustion the both of them felt.
They lay in the middle of what amounted to a disaster zone. Dust floated in the air while there were debris everywhere on the floor. Torn rows of seat lay around them as Adria was the first to get back to her feet. She glared at Willow lying face down as she tried to get up to her feet, but fell back down because she was still dizzy.
"Athena!" yelled Adria as she lifted her arm while panting. She aimed the gathering ball of fire in the palm of her hand at Willow who was trying to get off the floor with arms trembling. Willow was panting as she looked over at Adria, the redhead's eyes shifting to the growing fiery red orb in her hand. Willow tried to fire a mental blast, but all that happed was that she had a headache. It was then she discovered she was too exhausted from all the previous attacks on her. The world was still spinning around her, but Willow tried to stumble forward without her bearings.
All that happened was she fell back onto the floor once again.
"I win," Adria yelled as Willow turned her head at the Orici. Suddenly, before Adria could fire her energy blast at Willow, there was a blue sphere of energy that hit her; much to Willow's surprise. The energy crackled over Adria's body, which collapsed onto the floor as she groaned while Willow turned her head to her left. She raised her eyebrows as she watched a bloody Vala supporting herself on the back edges of two seats before the stunner weapon dropped from her hand.
Willow then laughed thanks to the excruciating pain throughout her body as she rolled back onto her back, and lay down on the floor. She laughed for a few seconds before she took in a deep breath and yelled, "Vala!"
"I'm okay," Vala yelled as she winced in pain before she collapsed. She grabbed the site of her two broken ribs, and then collapsed to her side. Willow heard the thud, and then she brought her arm, the movement of which hurt, up and pressed on her ear piece. It was finally safe to have someone come down to retrieve Adria, and to return her back to the Vantage where she would be placed in stasis.
"Van… Vantage," Willow rasped as she closed her eyes and tried to get her bearings, "I need med teams. Three injured... need two nanite vials for me and Vala. And another vial for nullifying Adria's powers. And… and I need an update. And.. and I need an update."
"Copy that," Jon said as he stared at the data on his tactical screen while pointing at one of his officers, signalling him to contact the infirmary so that they could send over a medical team. In the meantime, he continued talking as his tactical screen showed the shields on the Persephone collapse, followed by the ship being torn apart, "General? There's something you should know."
TBC.
