Approaching Thundersdawn

The Asgard vessel slowly approached Thundersdawn, its transporters sparkled all around the ship as battle debris was shifted into a safe orbit that would cause it to enter the fiery heat of the sun, but some debris was collected by the Asgard and stored on their ship, Bodies, the inevitable remains of any major battle, far too many bodies. O'Neill and Thor gazed upon the remains of the once proud space station and were silent. They had both seen battle damage before, that wasn't what silenced them, what silenced them was the volume of determined repairs being carried out, crew in spacesuits were crawling over the hull fixing the myriad hull breaches, rebuilding antenna arrays and retrieving supplies blown out from the number 1 hold.

"Thundersdawn to Asgard vessel, do you require assistance."

Captain Peters face appeared on the main viewing, the command centre behind her showing evidence of at least one fire, and several consoles were dark, dead, but Peters and her crew were proud, defiant, refusing to be defeated by the damage the Jaffa had caused them.

"No, Captain Peters, repairs are proceeding as expected, do you require any assistance?"

"Our long range comms are down, could you please bounce a transmission for us please?"

"Of course."

Ground Control, St Athan

"Sir, we're picking up a transmission, it appears to be a bounce from Thundersdawn Admiral."

A sigh of relief filled the room, as, for the first time in hours, many of the personnel started to relax. The Admiral looked up from his desk, his face showing the strain of waiting, but a tired smile just managed to show on his face, Thundersdawn had survived, at least for the moment.

"Well? The transmission?"

"Sorry Admiral, it's a recall notice, sent all the 1-4 and 1-5's."

"Try and contact Thundersdawn, and get a damage and casualties estimate as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."
