Chapter 2: Awaiting Disaster
A little awed, Hammond looked over the fleet that was his to command from the bridge of Prometheus. The mothership Del Shakka Mel, the Ha'tak of the Free Jaffa, Enerina/Buffy's Ha'taks, the Enerina's Wrath, and Manifest Destiny, and the Allied Vessels, Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Daniel Jackson of the Asgard, Ba'al's Wraith and Ba'al's Hammer, former ships of the System Lord Ba'al, both defecting when the word got out, the Tarithna was hunting Anubis.
It was an impressive sight.
But not, Hammond had to admit, much more than that.
Anubis had overwhelming numbers on his side and Intel indicated he want to force a planetary assault, landing ground forces to seize each Hellmouth.
They were preparing, already word had gone out to every NATO government. If Anubis did force a ground assault, then within the next week, the whole world would know of the Earth/Goa'uld war.
Only time would tell if Earths civilisation would survive it.
"So Buff, everything okay?"
Xander's words made Buffy turn away from the beautiful sight of a brilliant red dawn, a slight smile on her face as she contemplated her friend.
"Sure" she turned back to the rising sun, "Just contemplating the symbology of a red sky considering…"
Xander nodded, "Red Sky in the morning, Shepard's warning" he grinned then, loosing the contemplative look, "either that or somebody's set the hay barn at the other end of town on fire"
Buffy shook her head, glancing fondly at her friend, "say, aren't you supposed to be bugging you're… Carter, aren't you supposed to be bugging Carter"
Xanders eyebrows quirked upwards, but he resisted the urge to say "your what Buffy?"
"She kicked me out" Xander commented, before quickly continuing, "anyway when do you think Anubis is going to arrive?"
Buffy wasn't fooled, "Xander… Why did Sam kick you out"
Xander flushed, "It's not important"
"He just figured out the advantages of infrared vision when its of Asgard quality" Sam's wry tone from behind made Xander flush, his head bowing as he looked downwards, trying to avoid Buffy's puzzled gaze, "Oh, so now you look away, though its still a bit low for my liking"
Buffys jaw dropped slightly, "You didn't!"
Xabder refused to meet her gaze, and Buffy just shook her head, not very surprised, "You did… you keep that IR vision away from me and Dawn or Thor will need to grow you a new pair and I ain't talking about the eyes"
"So…" Xander commented nervously. "Cheap jokes aside, any ideas when it'll happen?"
Buffy shrugged, "soon, he'll be here soon"
She hid a grimace and a smile as she heard Carter whisper into Xanders ear, her own reply to 'when it'll happen'. The muffled 'eep!' that was his reply made her smile widen, she was happy for her friend, he needed somebody after Anya.
Now all she needed was someone to set Giles up with…
She grinned, ah yes, a new mission to while away the time.
Let's see, now who was good enough for Giles…
