Urgo: rolls eyes methinks we have a rabid trekkie here...
next time, check your facts. Also note that to match their weapons frequencies they do need to be able to hang around long enough to actually find out WHAT the sheild frequency is.
everyone else: thanks muchly for reviewing.
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?
15Discontinuity: Edonia Nebula: Anubis Controlled.Ten shuddered as the great golden doors to Anubis's throne room opened before him, he wasn't looking forward to this. God was known to have a bad temper and to not act kindly towards the bearers of bad news and Ten knew he didn't just bear bad news but extremely bad news.
He feared that he may die and permanently too. Edonia was not a good place for Cylons, far worse then Ragnar Anchorage, if he died here, his consciousness would never reach home, never be reincarnated into another body.
But, he was loyal to the Cylon God and he would do what he must. And if his God required his sacrifice, so be it.
"Cylon" the voice echoed harshly around the chamber as Ten stepped within, the bulk of an enhanced soldier at his rear, "what news do you bring of the motherships I leant you?"
Ten swallowed, then straightened, loudly proclaiming, "They were captured by traitors My Lord"
"Traitors? Whose traitors?"
"Ours My Lord," he paused, dreading the response to his next words, "a large number of cylons have broken off and are now openly in opposition to you"
Ten picked himself up with a wince from where he had been thrown, stumbling slightly as his balance failed him, the radiation of the nebula already effecting him.
"How did this happen?"
A brilliant thought struck Ten as he realized he may be able to divert Anubis's wrath, "Iblis was careless My Lord, he left too much information where the Tau'ri and Colonials were able to find it, information they say proved you and Iblis were false Gods and arranged for it to be transmitted it to all the cylons. This information caused the breakup of the cylon forces as many were taken in"
Anubis rose from his throne, angered, as Ten approached and handed the data crystal containing the information from the Tau'ri briefing Twelve had managed to attend (AN see Colonial Thunder)
Anubis hissed as he read the data off the crystal, then he turned to his guards, "Bring me Iblis"
Discontinuity: Spaceyards, Maktenos Controlled SpaceMaktenos watched over with an approving eye as Jaffa and human slaves scurried across the massive loading bay below, their movements economical and fast as they rapidly sorted the massive pile of salvaged debris, carting parts of quickly to the waiting repair bays or the foundries for recycling.
He had no doubt his ships would be ready and once again prepared for battle long before Anubis's were, he doubted in fact that the crews of Anubis's surviving ships from that battle were even alive, Anubis would have killed them because they failed, that was a major weakness of Anubis's and why he won.
His forces had survived their masters wrath long enough to gain experience and become better warriors, unlike Anubis's.
A hurried clomping sounded behind Maktenos and he turned, smiling as he noticed Bra'danna, the Jaffa in charge of the station approach, an elated expression on his face.
"My Lord, five Ha'tak of Anubis have defected to us!"
Maktenos stood taller, this was good news, five more ships for him, five less foe Anubis and they would most likely be upgraded ships too, Anubis had very few that hadn't been upgraded using Ancient technologies.
He smiled graciously, about to thank the Jaffa for her news when she continued, "My Lord, they brought with them much tactical data on Anubis's forces, we now know the locations of the bulk of Anubis's forces and the locations check out with our other intelligence sources"
Maktenos beamed, already rebuilding his plans based around the latest information, but Bra'danna hadnt finished yet, "My Lord, Anubis has deployed forces from the Intergate to deal with an insurrection, as well as additional forces to the Ragnarok system to prepare for an assault against us; he appears to have found out about this station and wants it destroyed"
Maktenos frowned, and then smiled, this he could deal with, "How long till the strike force moves out?"
"48 hours my lord"
"We leave in 24, concentrate your efforts on ships you believe you can have finished by then, any others you are to repair and use for defence, I will take the units normally assigned to defence with me, with the force at Ragnarok crushed and forces deployed away to combat insurrection, we can have control of half of Anubis's worlds before he knows what has happened"
"Yes My Lord" Bra'danna hesitated, "what orders for the defectors My Lord?"
Maktenos considered this briefly, "their loyalty has not yet be proven, therefore I do not want them in the fleet… have them assigned individual patrols with known loyal units"
"Yes My Lord"
Maktenos turned once again to the massive window, watching as the number of slaves doubled, then dropped off rapidly again, an obvious shift change. Well, they worked better and were more loyal if treated properly and trained well, he had learnt that lesson easily enough.
He smirked; with Anubis so badly reduced he could probably make a move straight from Ragnarok to Edonia and take the Nebula away from that psychotic.
The technology that device would be a gateway too! Soon he would be more advanced than the Ancients themselves and no one would have power enough to threaten him, then he would be safe at last.
But first to take Edonia and Ragnarok.
Discontinuity: Ravenbright StationA massive smile split O'Neill's face as he gleefully read the latest intelligence report, Anubis had redeployed far too many forces from Edonia and the Nebula was vulnerable to attack, forces to Ragnarok, which had been confirmed by an Elint Sat rushed into orbit from Ragnarok's surface and hidden, as well as forces to Cylon Space to combat the insurrection there.
Now was their chance, whilst the entire fleet was here and ready for action, watching over the arrival of a second group of Colonial refugees, they would be able to deploy in force to Edonia in hours.
Even better, they would really be able to deploy in force, with the full force of their fleet, six Prometheus Class Cruisers, five Dauntless Class Heavy Destroyers, the two new Patrol type MTB's, Black Prince and Iron Duke , three F-302 Squadrons, two Lancer 1-IS squadrons, and a full six Ha'taks of various classes.
It would be the largest Tau'ri warfleet ever deployed, larger than the fleet gathered for the retaking of Chocky's unnamed home system but with one major advantage this time.
They wouldn't need to leave the home systems undefended in order to carry out the mission, each system now had at least one solid defensive platform, four MTB's and two Squadrons permanently assigned to their defence.
That was sufficient for anything other than a determined assault, and if that happened no defence would be strong enough.
O'Neill nodded, his mind made up. Now all he had to do was confirm with command, not that that was an issue, orders were clear, take the Nebula by any means necessary.
