"Captain Hurst" "Yes Lieutenant" "I am receiving a transmission from the Vengeance sir." "Oh, good just when life was getting boring. Well what does Jeremy have to say for himself" "its one word sir, sigma" "Transmit that code to Defiance and Liberator AT ONCE tell them to form up on us and as soon as they are ready jump" "Yes Captain Hurst"
Vengeance and Freedom were running as fast as their sublight engines could push them, flying strait out of the system of the 12 colonies with a Vorlon cruiser steadily closing the gap. The Captain of the cruiser was impatient. These humans had advanced at a rate far beyond the rate the Vorlons had deemed appropriate. They were slaughtering their Cylon children but at least they still feared the Vorlons as shown by their flight. The only good thing about the new jump tech that the Lords of Chaos (aka: Shadows) had allowed them to develop was that it required calculations that meant the ship had to be in a certain area while the jump was calculated and then slow to an almost complete stop. This stopped the abominations known as the Vengeance and Freedom soon his cruiser would overtake them, it would not be long now…….
Aboard the Freedom Captain Smith was wondering if Fleet Captain Sumpter had lost his final marble. "you want us to turn around and take a hit from that cruiser to our stern" "Yep" "mind if I ask what you will be doing while I'm being shot at" "The cyber weapon of the Cylons no longer works on our ships because of the no networking design but now we have learnt how to it we can use it" "you seriously expect it to work on a Vorlon cruiser!" "While the Cylons are immune the Vorlons have never encountered it before so it should work" "It wont take them long to adapt" "It will be enough" "I'm going to regret this……" "Dex" "…….Very well. Helm, hard about, NOW"
"The Freedom is coming about sir, she's displaying her port profile to the cruiser, it's taking the bait! The cruiser has changed course to intercept the Freedom" "Excellent, helm bring us into range, weapons as soon as possible deploy the cyber weapon in search, NOT disable mode, Ops when they take the hit tell Freedom to bring their bow to bear on the cruiser, once the Vorlons have adapted send the code"
The Vorlon cruiser fired its main gin, the green electricity formed on the end of its four arms, joined in a ball in the centre of the four and then lashed out blowing a gaping hole on the Freedom that took out twelve decks, thankfully the stern had been evacuated so there were no deaths. Vengeance was sitting close to the cruiser which had finally caught on to what they were doing and jammed the cyber weapon. Just as Freedom's bow came to bear on the cruiser Vengeance sent one word out on all frequencies… Fire. Three old style jump point opened and from the centre of the blue vortexes spewed the Defiance, Liberator and Independence. All five battleships had their bows pointed at the cruiser and all five fired their main gunssix heavy particle beams and twelve laser cannons lanced out and converged on the cruiser, while Vorlon armour caused much of the energy to dissipate it could not remove the actual physical impact of the weapons and the cruiser was speared by the beams that went strait through and came out the other side. Mortally wounded the cruiser imploded and fifteen strange blue energy waves ran along the length of its shattered hulk. Though know one knew this signalled the passing of the fifteen Vorlons that had crewed the vessel, when there deaths were felt on the home world and their memorise examined all of Vorlon would utter one thought, how?.
With Freedom crippled the First Imperial Fleet would have to travel home the old fashioned way, the Jump points opened, with Defiance and Liberator towing Freedom they began the journey home leaving behind a galaxy that had just been shaken to it's very core.
