Heres a joke for you, two ships, the Enterprise NCC 1701-E and the Dauntless class Indefatigable both investigate an unusual gate, which one ends up in the wrong universe?
9Discontinuity: Interdimensional Stargate, Anubis Controlled.Anubis growled as report after report suddenly flashed up onto the screen in front of him.
Four motherships missing, presumed destroyed in Cylon space, the Jaffa sent to investigate missing.
A ha'tak crippled in the other universe, the cattle there having a weapon capable of bypassing even his best shields.
Maktenos going on the offensive, having taken four worlds from him already, destroying at least twelve of the Ha'taks he left behind in the process.
The Tau'ri launching six more of their MTB's, six more with several major hulls almost ready to launch and their drive issues fixed.
Any one of these issues he could brush off with the overwhelming force available to him but all at once…
Anubis decided to would have to act decisively, to deal with at least one of the issues straight away.
"How many vessels are through the gate now?"
"Six my lord" the jaffa replied, a pleasingly fearful tremble in his voice.
"Send the next ships with a message to Osiris, My Enemies are making a move and she is to hold the gate with what she has; send no more ships through after.
And order all ships on the border with Maktenos to gather at Ragnorok, I will meet them there"
Star Trek ContinuityCommodore Cohen grinned predatorily as she led the squadron of Defiant's into the Edonia nebula, the warships flitting across space, constantly evasive, their tubes loaded to capacity with Phased Plasma torpedoes.
They were going to strike back, now, before even more warships came through the gate and whilst they kept the hostiles occupied the second element would sweep in, move in on the gate, their sensors probing it in every way possible.
This was an Intel run primarily but Cohen saw no reason for a little payback whilst they kept the unknowns occupied.
In fact, she was all for it.
"Showtime" she said, as brilliant bolts of energy starting spitting at them from the direction of the Intergate.
Discontinuity: Cheops Class Mothership Bane Of Anubis,Maktenos smirked as the spy reported.
Perfect.
This was… perfect.
There was no other word for it.
Even Pierce was reluctantly agreeing, his military trained mind trying hard not to imagine and plan the situation ahead, not wanting to help the thing that had him hostage.
But still, it was perfection itself.
Swiftly Maktenos gave his orders; he had an ambush to plan.
For at last, he had a chance to decimate the forces of Anubis, and he no intention of wasting it.
Star Trek ContinuityOsiris shot the window a dark look as the six Defiant's burst out of the Nebula into the relative clearing surrounding the Intergate.
They had learned, she could see that from here.
This might be a problem she noted to herself as she watched the warships, how they moved, constantly dodging and weaving even when not under fire.
They moved like fighters and a properly used fighter was an absolute shol'va to kill using the batteries aboard a Ha'tak
And Osiris didn't doubt that they were all equipped with the torpedoes, the ones that ignored the shields of her Ha'taks.
Fine, so she would have to adapt.
"Concentrate your fire, kill them one by one"
Cohen cursed as the fire from the Ha'taks shifted, but with a tear in her eye did nothing.
They needed to kill those Ha'taks, if they lost ships in the process, so be it.
So long as they completed the mission.
So long as most ships got out okay.
Cohen nodded as the tactical display showed the determined manner in which Dauntless moved, her crew quickly grasping the situation and acting to draw fire away from the taskforce, knowing their time was most likely short.
Knowing that with the Ha'taks concentrating fire on them, they would most likely not survive much longer.
And still they were determined to do their duty.
"Captain! Targets in range"
"Concentrate fire on the centre warship, let's break through people"
He watched, as Cohen plowed into the hostiles, no subtly in her actions as a volley of Phased Plasma Torpedoes spat out from the destroyers, flashing through the centre hostile's shields, smashing great holes in the vessels hull, making it spin off, uncontrolled and bleeding air, a great hunk of hull being broken away from the apex of the hull.
He watched as Dauntless died, her last act one of defiance as she was rammed at full speed into a hostiles shields, just three escape pods breaking away before the impact.
He watched with the fire of hatred stirring in his soul as another hostile shifted course, deliberately ramming the escape pods, destroying them utterly.
He watched as Phoenix Five died, caught in the crossfire between three of the enemy vessels.
He watched as a hostile blew apart from the inside, destroyed by a volley of torpedoes.
He watched as the second element surged out of the nebula, diving towards the damaged vessel that was its sole guardian.
He watched as Valiant scored a lucky hit, one torpedo impacting and the vessels entire shield network shutting down.
That he noted, immediately ordering a log beacon launched with his sensor log to the edge of the nebula, to forward the information directly and urgently to Starfleet.
He watched as a direct hit was scored on Admiral Hunter, the ship burning as she span away, uncontrolled and dead.
He watched as the gate activated the largest ship he had ever seen including Borg cubes was spat out of the gate.
He watched as the two groups of Starfleet vessels broke off the engagement, fleeing back into the murky depths of the nebula.
And he continued to watch, noting with a grim smile that his ship had not yet been noticed.
