Continuation of Visionary

Chapter 8: " Oh boy are they gonna get a surprise!"

The three Ha'taks sped swiftly through the void of space, heading at top speed for the Tau'ri homeworld, their orders, destroy the Tau'ri swiftly, mercilessly and return to join the fight against Anubis. Their master Ba'al had felt safe to send them as Anubis was busy, his fleet prepping for a major move far away from any space controlled by their master, so for the moment Ba'al felt safe to deploy three of his ships to deal with the meddlesome parasites, the Tau'ri.

And deal with them they would, they were not going to ground assault or anything as time consuming as that, they were going to level the planet from orbit, and then leave swiftly before the Asgard could arrive.

With a flash, they appeared out of hyper around the orbit of Jupiter, and began speeding towards Earth, their crews preparing for battle.

And were instantly detected by the Tau'ri.

" Hammond to the Control Room, Critique Flash Traffic from SpaceCom"

Hammond leapt, cursing from his room as they message came blaring over the tannoy, the lights all around the base suddenly flashing the dark red of an alert situation. Critique Flash traffic, which was the highest priority level currently in use by the USAF. Somewhere, the brown and sticky stuff had just seriously hit the fan. He rather suspected the fan was pointed at him, and his command was about to get covered in it.

"General Hammond? This is General Stockwell, SpaceCom, we are picking up three bogeys coming in hot, profile suggests Ha'taks"

"Thank you general, under…"

Stockwell interrupted, "I know, under emergency procedures SpaceCom acknowledges transfer of SpaceCom to SGC command, just get those… snakeheads before they get us"

"Harriman, get us a video conference call set up with Del Shakka Mel" Hammond turned from the technical sergeant to the computer monitors just as Stockwells trim, fit young face appeared.

" Del Shakka Mel? Whats that? Your new… hmm… toy?" Stcokwell asked, his face flickering to one side as a report was handed to him.

"Literally translated, it means I die free!" Hammond replied.

"Nice, well I just got a report that says we have 5 hours before these bogeys hit orbit, so what are we going to do about it?"

"Well, we could kick their arse"

"O'Neill and… associates, good afternoon" Stockwell replied, unsure of whom else he was addressing.

"SG-1, SG-Scooby, meet General Stockwell, head of SpaceCom" Hammond said.

"SpaceCom, what's that?" Buffy's voice broke over the transmission.

"Space Command, miss?" Stockwell replied.

"Buffy, that's Xander, Giles and Willow. You already know SG-1, right?" Buffy replied.

"Back to the task at hand, we have three Ha'taks inbound, and it is very unlikely that they have friendly intentions" Hammond interrupted.

"Where, and when?" O'Neill asked, the professional soldier persona making an appearance.

"The details are being sent now, but we have just under five hours to prepare" Stockwell responded.

"It will have to be a fleet action, Prometheus is good for orbital combat, even if the hyper trials have been kind of disastrous, she will support Del Shakka Mel as you engage the Ha'taks" Hammond suggested.

"We do not have the man power for a frontal engagement, General Hammond" Teal'c intoned.

"Well, unfortunately it's the only…"

"They can't see us" Willows softly spoken comment distracted Hammond in mid sentence, and they all turned to look at the Wicca.

"Err… excuse me?" Daneil asked.

Willow looked up, then blushed as she realised she must have spoken that last out loud, "the moon is directly between us and the Ha'taks, they kinda can't see us"

Carter started, and then moved around to look over Willows shoulder, "She's right, they shouldn't be able to see, yet. We will be unmasked in about 15 minutes though"

"Carter, get up to the bridge, and ask the supersoldiers to move the ship, keep the moon between us and the Ha'taks until they hear otherwise"

"Yes, Colonel" Carter turned, and swiftly fled from the room.

Giles turned to O'Neill, "You wouldn't perhaps be thinking what I believe you are thinking, would you?"

" Ambush"

Giles grinned ferally, a ripper like mask settling over his face, "Jolly Good"

"Oh boy are they going to get a surprise" Xander grinned.

"Indeed" Teal'c added, satisfied.
