Chapter 10: Boarding Actions

Swiftly, silently the boarding parties dispersed throughout the ship, swiftly silently killing the few sentries with silenced pistols, knives and bare hands, making no noise and leaving no bodies. They had no intention of being discovered until they wanted to be discovered.

Colonel Sam Carter, head of StarGate technical services headed with her SAS team to the probable location of a central computer node, the closest thing to a server the Goa'uld had. Their objective; a download of strategic and tactical data on those computers as a priority, technical data a distant second. To do this, two team members were loaded out with specialised and quite often one of a kind custom built equipment.

Teal'c's team double-timed it to the engine room, loaded with explosives and detonators, Captain Brown gleefully contemplating the damage he was about to cause with his 'toys' to the massive vessel.

The largest team, led by Wing-Commander Davies ab Hugh of the RAF consisted almost entirely of pilots, most with some special forces training headed for the largest hanger deck, intending to seize as many ships as possible, Al-Kesh bombers and Tel-Tac cargo vessels first and foremost, none of which had been present in the hanger deck they had landed on, only udajeets or damaged vessels under repair.

Colonel Reynolds led his team consisting of SG-3 and SG-11 in defence of the Paladins on the hanger deck, first against a trickle of Jaffa intent on maintenance or patrol, then in a frenzied fire fight as Jaffa in swarms come to oust the intruders, to cut of their line of retreat.

The Jaffa straightened with shock at his station, not believing the reports he was hearing from across the ship. Patrols disappearing, bodies being found stuffed in lockers and a firefight in a secondary landing bay. Intruders, on this ship? Impossible! And yet the evidence kept coming. He swallowed, and turned to face his god,

"My Lord, we have been boarded. Intruders have been reported with ships in a secondary landing bay and at least one more group of intruders in loose on the ship."

Maktenos turned to the terrified Jaffa, ice dripping from every word, "How. Did. They. Get. On. This. Ship!"

"Through the gap in the shield Milord, we concentrated too much on destroying the Tau'ri vessel and they boarded whilst we were distracted."

Maktenos gave an inarticulate scream of fury, his voice echoing throughout the room, "Jaffa, Kree! Take the shol'va to the cells, I will deal with him personally, and man weapons!"

The guards marched quickly from their posts and the doors, their staffs levelled at the Jaffa manning the weapons, escorting him from the room as another filled his place.

"My lord" the Jaffa continued, his voice still trembling, "There is a warship, unknown class, within our shields, they are firing on our weapons and shield generators!"

"Have. The. Udajeet. Destroy. Them"

"Milord, the pilots, they are either dead from the device or fighting the intruders in the hanger decks!"

An alarm from his console grabbed the Jaffa's attention, and he blanched.

"Milord, we have lost control of the engine room and intruders have been reported in the primary hanger bay."

The mothership rocked as missiles began impacting directly onto the hull, blowing chunks of the hull far away from the boarding parties, Blastboat having crippled the vessels mighty shield generators from within.

"Milord, shields are down!"

Maktenos strode forward, using hid hand device to force the Jaffa out of his way, pulping him against the hull like a ripe tomato. He cursed as he read the status displays, the Tau'ri it seemed had won this battle.

"Abandon ship, have all those Jaffa who survive meet at El'targi" he would not waste Jaffa as others would; every Jaffa saved was another warrior for another day after all.

"Set a course for the course for the planets surface and ensure it impacts."

"Milord." the Jaffa relied, his tone philosophical. It seemed his god demanded his sacrifice. So be it.
