Chapter 15-Battle of Alpha Centauri

The realitively strong position that the Tau'ri and Colonials held in the Alpha Centuari System, was about to be shattered, just as the space surrounding an outlying gas giant did. Hyperspace jump points opened by the dozen, ships of all sizes emerged out of them. When nearly 20 were clear from the distortions, they were meet by a small sized force from their own jump points, the Tau'ri wanted to know what was going on.

Alpha-PDF-Charybdis

One of the 4 alpha centauri PDF Moter Torpedo Boats, the MTB was still far away from the enemy fleet, relying on its ion engines to travel across the system, where the newly arrived Ha'taks jumped directly to the incursion fleet.

Commander Marshall, captain of the Charybdis, more commonly known as impronounceable shipname #14 , lead the PDF fleet to just outside of Alpha's, asteroid belt, before holding position and waiting for further orders.

"Sir we have a signal been broadcast system wide." the comm officer announced

'Patch it though, lets see who they are."

The normally star-lit window, fazed to life with the view screen activating, revealing a man in his mid 30's with any expression save for a stolic-machine like one.

"People of the Tau'ri, your henous acts commited against my people call for equal destruction on your own, however we are a generous people, so we shall allow you the chance to unconditionally surrender, you have 15 minutes to comply." the arrogence in his tone was clearly noticeable even to a deaf person, must be aschen, no emotion my arse.

"Incoming response from Ravensbright, should re receieve sir?"

"Of course, i want to see the generals response to this crap."

The ginger haired aschen's image was instantly split to show the greying General O'Niell, he held an amused face despite the situation.

"Molum! its been 8 years, no phone call, no mail and then you start by asking us to surrender?"

The aschen practically sneered at the comment, "I thought you would have died long ago O'Niell." he spat the name out like it was an insult to mention.

"Nope, alive and kicking." he seemingly looked around the screen "Wheres boring?" he asked with a smirk

"Borrum is currently overseeing the confederation in my absense, I considered it important that i witnessed your species subjection myself."

You do realise we have you at a disadvantage?" O'Niell grinned

"What? Your two salvaged ships and a puny force gathering in the asteroid belt? Your captains really exagerate reports of their effectiveness on our ships it seems."

The generals grin just grew larger, "ah we'll you see, it was quite foolish of you to think that, cause we've got some friends dropping in right about...now"

The aschen commander immediately looked started and immediately ordered weapons and shields to full. But nothing happened.

O'Niell just stood their with an open mouth looking at his watch, the expressions on both leaders face was comical to be putting it lightly.

"O'Niell you are not the best at blu..."

"Commander Molum, massive amounts of hyperspace jumps are detected throughout the system!" one of the commandships crew members announced panically.

"That happens way too much..." O'Niell muttered putting hinself together, while cutting the comm channel. He sighed deeply, before spewing out orders ."Contact the Endeavours taskforce, move them to group with the PDF force, both Ha'taks should keep the enemy occupied for the time being, and for gods sake tell Adama to get his ship up and running, we've got a fleet to take out."
