AUTHORS NOTE: I modified the end of the last chapter to make it a biut more balanced. only a ew thousand will be coming back. yes janus is arouns! let me know what you think of this update!
PEGASUS GALAXY
1 WEEK AFTER ESCAPE FROM DAKARA
ORBIT OF LANTEA
A DOZEN AURORA'S EXIT HYPERSPACE
BRIDGE OF LEADSHIP
DESGNATION ARCTURUS FIST
Arcturus sat in the command chair on the bridge of the dreadnought prototype he was commanding the small fleet from. The enhanced engines and power systems and allowed then to make a multi-week journey in just one. The asgard and the nox were going to enforce the PPT with goa'uld and allow the ancients to rebuild in pegasus as the wraith hibernated. Soon they would launch an offensive to cleanse this poor galaxy of their out of control experiment. Just another thing the pegasus lanteans had to answer for. They had arrived in orbit with shields raised to find a small fleet of ships firing ballistic weapons and nuclear torpedoes at the sunken Atantis. Their sensors also detected submersible vehicles surrounding the shield perimeter as smaller expolsions covered the shield. Arcturus was enraged, He ordered the ships to spread out and open fire with pulse weapons. He did say to fire to disable if possble.
A few moment later they had disabled a dozen of the smaller crusiers and a few larger ships, assuming their capitol ships, computer tactical analysis enemy ship, weapon type, defensive systems what have we got,
"Neural link established. Weapons type enemy vessal
Armaments 150 fragmentation cannons
200 ballistic weapons of various yields, including a point defense grid.
75 nuclear weapon launch points
Shields none
Defensive systems negligible
Threat level nominal
WARNING SENSORS INDICATE ATLANTIS SHIELD AT LESS THEN 10% CAPACITY EMERGENCY LETHAL FORCE AUTHORIZED
Arcturus cursed loudly as he ordered the fleet to finish disabling the enemy forces as he grabbed a few potentia modules he had gathered from the outpost, he transported directly into the power room and removed the two dead crystals. He inserted it into a slot on the wall and pugged in a second module. Lights begans activating as the consoles and screens came alive throughout the room,
HE removed and inserted a third module and green lights lit up across the board with a smirk he ordered his ship to transport him to the control room. With a flash of light he appeared and made his way tro the security override control console at the base of the gate, the lights in the embarkatcion room activating as he appeared. HE walked over to it as a small pedestal rose out of the floor, he placed his hand on it, a prompt for his command code was made via his neural interface, he entered his code and a young woman, with dar brown hairm soft blue eyes, pale skin standing about 5'6" appeared in front of him and simply said. "So, you survived huh dad?"
Arcturus paled. " I said STOP CALLING ME THAT! Just because I wrote and designed your sentience algorithms you think im your dad!"
" would i be alive if not for you?
" No you'd be an AI, a good one but still an AI,. this way your alive and unlimited by a flesh body."
"EXACTLY I'm alive because of you, and since you're a man you cant be my mommy so your my daddy. Deal with it. Anyway now that you gave me more power the shields are at full strength, drones are near depleted, only a few dozen, the jumpers are all good, got some cool new toys, the city is in admin mode-
" ADMIN MODE?! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN ADMINISTRATION MODE?! I thought you were left under siege?!"
"Yea well, the idiots forgot im configurable. Had no idea they had more options,. And since im only sentient under AlterOP command codes, I couldnt tell them."
Arcturus sighed as he facepalmed. Then the he ordered a crew to man the stations in the control be beamed down from orbit. The battle was progressing well, most of the larger ships had fled, they had captured three and disabled another few dozen smaller ships. With flashes of light a crew that had been programmed at the outpost just for this was transported and they got to work manning the consoles and bringing weapons online.
"Status of defensive weapon array?"
" SIR defensive weapons consist of 250 various yield particle pulse cannons."
Arcturus laughed and walked to the middle of the control room. He put his hand out and a tile slid back raising a different command pedestal than by the gate. This one looked older, it was made of brownish green metal with thick cables and wires running down and around it. A small screen with a small keyboard. Arcturus sighed but knowing they needed the fire power and the help if they were to surviveā¦.
"Computer recognize AlterOPERATIONS COMMANDING GENERAL ARCTURS RIDDISCKSON COMMAND CODE SIGMA BRAVO PEGASUS DUELLA DOMA QUEITUS INITAITE SIEGE CONFIGURATION DEFENSIVE MODE!"
With a great rumbling the entire city began to shake as if falling apart. Deep under the ocean the shield wavered and turned golden as the towers at the farthest ends of the piers sank into the city and began to move! The city re configured itself, all the towers now crowded in the middle with the outlieing piers were now covered in plasma turrets, heavy pulse cannons, seige-mode drone weapons. Different from regular drones in that regular drones were meant to be used repeatedly to rip through enemy ships before detonating, sige drones were heavy weapons. They were fired, penetrated their target and detonated. They could take out chunks of small moons at full yield. And those tanks were full. 400,000 Siege drones ready for deployment.
An engineer read the status panal as arcturus requested an updated status
"Plasma cannons report 100 in working order on the west and east piers but only 47 on the south and a dozen on the north are functional, shields failures and flooding damaged the command pathways easy fix. Pulse weapons are ll functional, defense grid operationalional siege drones, maximuym capacity, power, sir when did we get naquadah enhanced multi-demensional-fusion generators? Capacitors are being filled up amazingly fast, shield grid, im sorry grids, alpha beta and epsilon are green secondary generators are in a maintenance cycle. Recommend we switch to give the primaries a rest, it has been 10,0000 nears afterall. Also ctructeral reports indicate moderate damage to aft east pier as well as damage to defensive armors deployment systems, engines are at 67% effecneincy due to poor maintenance, the stardrive is fully operational apparently as well as an experimental emergency wormhole drive? Cool, we have power needs being met by the primary generators now that they are online, the potential arew boosting the system a lot, do you want me me to activate the recall program?"
W"what recall program?" arcturus asked confused, the technician blanked for a moment then said " recall program, directive 417.v62 pon evacuation of any lantean facility evacuated during wartime is put into defensive slumber. A recall program activates all known lantean military assets for a status update to prepare for reacquisition." arcturus decided to hold off on that for now.
Arcturus ordered the shield grid to switch to beta to allow the primaries to rest. Then ordered the prisoners in orbit be beamed directly to holding cells until they could be questioned.
Over the next few days activity flurried in the halls of atlantis.
Arcturus decided to remain on the ocean floor for now, it added to their defense from energy weapons and had helped stave off the attacking humans as they had appeared to be. As well as provided a natural defense from boarding actions. He had accessed the updated repository and was assimilating the information. It would take months to download all the updates so it was slow going. Then he got a request to come to the control room immediately. Thor was calling, the supreme commander of the asgard fleets was calling? Huh, ok might be important. Arcturus said he was on his way and left his quarters. They were nice, he had a small sitting room with a balcony big enough for a small table and a chair, then his bedroom and bathing facilities. He walked down the hall to a transporter and walked out and into the control room he walked over to the communications console. The video feed appeared and arcturus felt his jaw drop as everyone froze.
There on the screen a young lantean man stood and smiled. He spread open his arms and said
" Hi I'm janus, boy have I got some news for you!"
