10: Dawning Alliance
by Chaoseternus
Estrecca:Katana fleet - Theres a nod to SW in here, I doubt youll have trouble spotting it...
As far as Eraths go, "There can be only one!" /swish! head falls to ground.../ Oh wait, wrong show ;-) Im sure you get the idea anyway.
the stargates would be blocked by the hypre barrier IF the Ancients
hadnt walked off with them at the end of the last war. explanation for
that later
shadows: the cloaked crab types... well, Ill come to those, dont want to spoiler...
Lorien: My B5 knowledge mainly comes from the B5 movies i have seen, i
have NOT seen the bulk of the episodes... therefore Lorien is unlikely
to appear as i have litle idea as to who/what he is
greyangle: not quite... you wont be seeing any anime for instance (Pet hate) and Star Wars is watched by the SGC....
johnnyg: valen: havent decided on that one yet
rankokun alpha: heh, not what i had in mind....
Thanks to all of you who have reviewed, its apprecaited.
When Enerina is sent to investigate why every gate in an area of space will not establish a wormhole, she finds something totally unexpected...
SevenThe Al-kesh flicked swiftly out of the launch bays of the Ha'tak, its pilot almost frantically turning the craft and maxing the sub-light engines as the vessel raced towards the slowly weakening hyper barrier.
The craft lurched practically spinning in space as it hit the barrier but the Jaffa pilot surged the engines, forcing the Goa'uld bomber forward despite the shock of the impact.
Racing with desperate speed towards the nearest StarGate, a GDO transmitter held on a thin gold chain around his neck.
"Unscheduled off world activation!" General Carter groaned, rising from his seat with a weary sigh, wishing that just for once he would hear the magical words, "Scheduled Off world activation"
Of course, it never happened... well, Carter admitted to himself at Selmacs wry comment, it did happen but that in itself was a sign of trouble. The last three times a team had come through on time they had had to deal with potential foothold situations.
"Recieveing GDO signal!" the tech sergeant looked up startled, "its Enerina's code sir"
Carter grimaced, stepping up to the console, he didn't ned al his combined years of experience as an Air Force General and as a member of the pretty much defunct Tok'ra to know what was coming now.
Trouble.
When an ally contacted you out of the blue whilst on a mission that would supposedly keep her out of contact for months, well there was rarely any other explanation, and quite frankly, 'finished ahead of schedule' didn't happen, not for the SGC and not for the RSS.
"Open the Iris"
Carters eyebrows rose as a Jaffa frantically charged through the gate, narrowly missing the swiftly opening Iris. Carter frowned, he had seen this Jaffa before and he did wear the standard pure white cloth robe generally used by Enerina's forces but...
"I bring tidings and bad news from Enerina"
The Jaffa shouted and Carter rolled his eyes, his misgivings gone in an instant, scratch it, he was one of Enerina's. If he were hostile, he would be the bad news, not just bringing it.
Carter ignored Selmac's comment about him becoming deeply cynical. He wasn't cynical, he was right far too often to be cynical. Selmac had no answer to that.
"My Lord, the Katana fleet! We must find it!"
Carter could have raised an eyebrow at that, commented that the SGCs nickname for a legendary lost fleet was appropriate to the situation and where had he learnt it anyway. He could have commented that there was no proof that the fleet even existed, or if it did, why hadn't it been found before.
He could have asked all those things and more but he didn't. Maybe he was getting cynical Carter admitted inwardly, as he bypassed all those questions and went straight to, "Where is it and who is looking for it?"
Selmac just commented that he had become far to used to life at the SGC and maybe it was time for a holiday, Carter mentally snorted and reminded Selmac that five times he had attempted to go on holiday and each time he had been recalled.
Once again, Selmac found herself without an answer.
"Anubis My Lord!" Carter groaned, Anubis was supposedly getting his arse kicked by Maktenos but if he could find another fleet to bolster his forces...
"The ships, they are of the Ancients!"
Carters mind tried to decamp.
Anubis was bad enough with Goa'uld ships enhanced by what ancient technologies he could bring into usage but with a fleet created by the Ancients?
"Are you sure the ships are of the Ancients?"
"According to the Minbari, they were left behind by Anubis when the last of the Ancients left their territory before themselves fleeing the Galaxy in Atlantis, a hyper barrier formed which prevented Anubis from going back for his fleet but the barrier is weakening, and Anubis would be stupid not to check it periodically.
It's only a matter of time before he realises that the barrier is down and returns for his ships!"
"Woah! Hold on a minute, Minbari? Hyper barrier?" Carter grimaced, gesturing towards the stairs, "I think we'd better take this to the briefing room, and start from the beginning..."
