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?
17Discontinuity: Edonia NebulaA disturbance flowed through the nebula, a small focused wave pushing the nebula material out of its way as it flowed through the outer edges of Edonia, and yet there was no ship there, nothing that could be seen or registered on any known sensor system.
And yet, this disturbance, so eerily close to the effects of a small craft passing through the nebula fringes, continued, patrolling slowly around the edges.
The disturbance faltered, its passive sensors picking up indications of multiple hyper jumps into the system. No ships were expected so these were most likely intruders and yet who were they?
The disturbance shifted, moving to the very fringes of the nebula, all its attention focused on the data from its passive sensor array as it listened carefully, looking for anything that would pinpoint the identity of the intruders.
Finally it had it, a transmission on a frequency that only the Tau'ri used, in particular, a fighter frequency.
The disturbance turned, and dived back into the nebula, heading as fast as it could into its depths and the facility within, the edges of a dark, predatory craft blurring into visibility as the craft diverted power to engines.
Discontinuity: Cheops Class Mothership Bane Of AnubisMaktenos smirked as once again his forces stood, waiting to accept Anubis's fatal and inevitable charge. He didn't have as many ships this time, just 180 ships he had managed to gather and he was risking much to do that.
But once again, he had more ships together than Anubis did and once again Anubis could not see the full extent of his fleet, the 23 survivors of the 3 rd fleet with their enhanced cloaks were once again hidden but this time with far different orders.
He glanced at his tactical display as 23 icons appeared momentarily, before disappearing again, an Icon representing one of Anubis's ships disappearing in their wake.
Now Anubis would know that Maktenos had developed a superior cloak but that was inevitable, Anubis would have known sooner or later.
Best it happened at his own chooseing and it was working so well, the remnants of the 3 rd fleet had single handedly destroyed 8 of Anubis's vessels without any damage to their own so far and Anubis's forces had been scattered, become uncoordinated.
Normally Maktenos would have seized it as a golden opportunity and attacked but he knew Anubis wasn't here yet, he knew Anubis was on his way and he didn't want to be caught in battle when Anubis arrived, that would allow Anubis to determine how he attacked, that would allow Anubis to dictate the engagement far more than Maktenos was willing to allow.
Maktenos grinned, he had to admit, he would not have considered that on his own but the Tau'ri trained their soldiers well and he now had access to that training.
Unnoticed by Maktenos, his hands danced a frustrated, annoyed tap on the armrest of his command chair…
Discontinuity: Anubis Task Force, en-route to RagnarokAnubis frowned, turning around annoyed as a hurried clatter echoed through his throne room, he had said he did not wish to be disturbed unless it was urgent and his Jaffa knew all to well what that meant.
This Anubis guessed was not going to be good news.
"My Lord, the Tau'ri have sent their Fleet to Edonia!"
Anubis rose, like a shot from a cannon, from his seat, Tau'ri at Edonia now?
The one time there was insufficient forces to defend against their attack?
Impossible! And yet, they had the knack for doing exactly that.
"Turn the fleet, take us to Edonia at maximum speed and recall the Ragnarok garrison, Maktenos can have the system, for now"
Discontinuity: The Second Battle Of RagnarokMaktenos frowned, shooting up in his seat as Anubis's ships suddenly coalesced together, reforming hurriedly in a formation designed to protect against sneek attacks.
And then the formation moved, sensors indicating that they were preparing for a hyper jump. This was unexpected, they were retreating.
Maktenos cursed, and he was too far away to do anything about it, damn Anubis!
"My Lord!" Maktenos followed the pointed finger of the Jaffa and grinned as the 23 icons of the 3 rd fleet reappeared, between the Anubis ships and escape. They wouldn't last long but they would delay their escape long enough…
"Open a channel to all ships," Maktenos drew in a deep breathe, "CHARRRGGGGEEEE!"
Anubis had a garrison force of 80 warships in system, 10 Cheops, 10 Ral'tac and 60 Ha'taks, of which one Cheops had been destroyed, the very first kill by the 3 rd fleet under their new orders and 7 Ha'taks. That left 19 motherships and 53 Ha'taks charging straight at the 23 ships of the 3rd fleet in an effort to escape to Edonia.
The result was inevitable, as outnumbered and outgunned; the 3 rd fleet was massacred, killing just one Ral'tec and three Ha'taks before the last ship of the 3rd fleet fell.
But they succeeded in their mission; delay the escaping Anubis forces long enough for Maktenos's main fleet to arrive.
When 180 warships charge 72 warships that are scattered and damaged the result is inevitable, and ten minutes later, Ragnarok belonged to Maktenos.
Of the 72 Anubis Vessels, 23 Ha'taks, 2 Cheops and 4 Ral'tec were destroyed outright, 12 Ha'tak switched allegiance, along with 2 Cheops and 1 Ral'tec, the rest escaped.
The second battle of Ragnarok was over, and Anubis had once again been defeated
