The Truth Is Out At Last, Are You Ready For It?
Chapter Seven"The Russian Minister of Space confirmed just five minutes ago that negotiations with the RSS for the construction of several space going warships had been completed with the order of one Prometheus class Cruiser and three Dauntless Heavy Destroyers. These vessels will be constructed at Thundersdawn station in Mars orbit as the slips become available. As of 13:00 today, all slips at Thundersdawn are full with new construction and repairs"

"Judges in France threw out a legal challenge to the Governments declaration of martial law today, sparking a declaration from the Liberté Français that the restriction would be lifted, one way or the other. The French government is believed to be taking the threat very seriously"

"Stargate Commands website was taken offline earlier today after a major attack by several hackers, believed to be searching for classified information. A SGC spokesperson was quick to point out that the classified information is all on servers kept isolated from the internet and that no restricted material could be found on the web servers"

"Cardiff-Wales International Airport remains closed today despite increasing pressure from the public to reopen the airport. The airport was first closed due to fears that an aircraft inbound to Cardiff-Wales would be seized and crashed into the facilities at St Athan, a very real fear considering the closeness of the two airfields.
At this point, the Military shows no sign of releasing its hold on the airport; indeed, some are suggesting they intend to absorb the facilities into RSS St Athan"

"For the third night in a row, explosions have lit up the night sky as Cylons forces attempt to breech the defences around the Sol System, this is now the fifth time since disclosure that Cylon forces have attempted to assault earth, prompting further calls for more warships to be recalled.
At this point, only three Earth-human built capital ships are available to protect both the sol system and the colonies in Alpha Centauri, assisted by just three captured Goa'uld Ha'taks, one of which is obsolete and awaiting refit"

"Stargate Command today announced the reinforcement of Earth's defences with 8 captured Al-kesh bombers, craft generally reserved for Special Forces or training duties. To many, this is just seen as a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed. Never the less, both commands are insisting that they have insufficient warships to protect earth to the asked for degree and maintain their other commitments"

"Area 51 came under heavy attack today as Stargate Command F-302 fighters launched on another scramble, prompting further calls for Homeworld security to investigate claims that alien forces are deliberately stirring up religious fervour and riots on Earth, Homeworld security is refusing to comment. One F-302 fighter was killed by a hand-held SAM before it could escape"

"Within an hour of President Hayes authorising a shoot on sight policy within the Area 51 and 52 exclusion zones, fifteen persons had been shot defying authority and entering the restricted areas. President Hayes is recorded as saying 'Its time to get tough on those who would disrupt our efforts to defend the people of this world'"

"A massive explosion has destroyed a number of government buildings within the French capital of Paris today, creating a death toll that has hit the four-hundred mark and is still climbing. No group has yet come forward to claim responsibility"

"This is Peter Debouch from the Tau'ri News Service, reporting to you from Thundersdawn station which as you can see from the lights behind me is at full military alert as three basestars currently close on our location.
This is the largest hostile force to arrive within the system since Disclosure and it brings with it almost six hundred fighters, all armed with nukes from the Cylons massive stockpile of such explosive devices.
At this moment, the bulk of the systems defences are forming around with the station, with a secondary force led by the USS Independence over earth, should this prove to be a feint.
Wait... the station is shuddering now, I can feel it through the bulkheads, this is a steady shuddering, most likely the main batteries firing on the approaching hostiles...
Yes yes I'm okay...
Is the camera still on?
Okay, I can only assume that was an incoming shot which caused that then but the station shook violently as you no doubt saw, enough so to knock both me and my cameraman off our feet.
Wait... there's a message over the intercom here, I don't know if you can hear it but it Captain Peters stating that concentrated fire from the station, Indomitable and Invincible has bracketed one of the baseships and destroyed it, Now moving onto a second baseship but the fighters have now engaged. It's a lot of fighters; they will be a real problem for the defenders...
The station is now rocking and shaking lie a ship in high seas, you can hear groaning throughout the structure, but that's not unexpected, Thundersdawn is undergoing structural reinforcement and a number of main structural members have been removed, whether this will be a problem... well, I really hope not. But the strain of the outgoing and incoming fire is making this massive station move.
Okay... okay, we are now being ordered to evacuate this section of the hull, they are saying the shield integrity is weakening and are moving everyone they can as deep into the station as possible.
Another intercom message... Independence has engaged a fourth basestar in earth orbit, and... yes, it sounds like the defenders here just killed their second... no news on what's happening with the fighters
Okay, okay... the station isn't just rocking now, its shaking violently, the structure is really moaning, groaning and even wailing under the stresses... this isn't outgoing fire, this has to be heavy incoming weapons fire. And that's an alarm, a radiological alarm in fact, the station has very few substances that are radioactive aboard, most of which are classed as relatively harmless so this isn't an internal breech, this is energy starting to leak not just through the shields, but through several inches of armour plate too.
Now I'm hearing something about Indomitable being forced to disengage, I can not confirm that, but if so it potentially means another real problem for the defenders...
And it's a kill, its now being announced that all four basestars have been destroyed but that 700 cylon fighters need to be destroyed... that's up on the initial count of six hundred, but with the addition of the fourth basestar, is unsurprising that the number has increased
Unfortunately, it is these fighters that are the real threat here, with so many in the area it is easy for a few to be lost, slipping past the defenders to attack earth itself. Now... wait, what's that? Oh my"
