The gathering of Lost Kin (Part 2)

Ares CIC

"Commander, it appears to be a song of some kind" stated Col. Rowley.

"Well it's not anything I've ever heard; for that matter why in the gods names would someone be singing while flying in a middle of a battle; let alone why they would be broadcasting it on all frequencies" the commander commented as he observed what on was on the screen and heard over the wireless. Meanwhile:

"Are you okay pilot?" Ken asked the viper pilot, it had taken only 1 or 2 minutes for his valkyrie's com-system to link to the com-channel the other fighters were using. Right know he was hoping that his helmet's internal translator worked as well as the manual claimed. For her part Blazer was very confused, who ever this person was the words she was hearing wasn't matching with what his lips were saying (the two cockpits close enough for her to see him clearly and she being an excellent lip reader) and what she was hearing had to be the worst Caprician she had ever heard but at least she understood it.

"Yes I'm fine, at little banged up but nothing a good hammer can't fix" she responded.

"Well that's all fine and good, but I doubt you'll be taking care of it right now; which ship are you from? I'll toe you back to it, hey what!" Ken shouted as his scanners picked up two raiders who had gotten out of the pack and were making a beeline right for him. Blazer could only watch in awe as the valkyrie blasted away in a roll avoiding most of the raider's fire and changed back into the fighter mode and quickly dealt with the raiders with its missiles.

"Wow, just wow" Blazer said to herself as the blue fighter came back over to her.

"A little too close for comfort but nothing I couldn't handle" Ken boasted over the com-line, however after saying that several warning lights came up indicating that another raider had come after him, this time firing 4 missiles (3 conventional and one nuke). "Ah hell" Ken cursed as he pulled away in hopes of out flying them, '(the pin-point barrier system can handle those 3, but I'll need to take the nuke out myself)" he thought to himself. As the missiles closed in he pulled a 180° turn (while transforming into battroid mode) bringing the shield up to it's torso which started glowing with the PPB and proceeded to fire at the missiles with the gun pod, hip mounted beam machine guns and the head mounted beam guns (while Ken could have easily just blasted far away from the missiles, there was the very good chance they'd curve around and go after the helpless viper). Ken managed to nick one of the conventional rounds which then collided with the nuke. "Ah hell" Ken said as the nuke exploded in front of him.

"No!" Blazer screamed from inside her cockpit as the white robot was engulfed in a bright light, forcing her to close her eyes.

Onboard the Enterprise Captain Kurosaki was going over the various reports on the battle progress, "So we can hold out for what, 12 to 15 hours?" the captain asked.

"If the enemy doesn't manage to hack into our systems sir yes, on that note while they haven't gotten into the system we can't seem to block them from trying, also the techs say that the first level firewalls could be breached in 3 to 4 hours" the officer answered.

"And while our technology and weapons are better then theirs and our systems safe from their hacking attempts, they'll eventual where us out with shear numbers" the captain said softly. "What of the two larger ships from the first fleet?" he asked.

"They've stopped moving and have begun laying down support fire for the fighters, both theirs and ours" came the response.

"And what of Sound force, are they having any effect?" the captain asked.

"Well sir…………." Peterson started to reply.

Cylon raiders aren't manned fighters, more like drones; where the pilot should be instead has a bio-mechanical 'brain'. Like human brains, the raider's brain has the cylon equivalent to a human inner-ear which is used to process audio information. Like the human inner-ear there's no way to shut off the raider's inner-ear, so when say a projectile speaker pod is embedded into it's hull, the raider can't help but listen to music being played.

"Just one Rock 'n Roll song, Reverberating to tomorrow" Sai started into his second song while firing speaker pods into the clusters of raiders (and being a crack shot didn't miss once) while turning his sound systems to their max settings.

"Ah hell Jamie, Sai's pulling out the big stuff; we can just kiss our eardrums goodbye" Mark said as he turned his nightmare's sound system to max as well.

"There's nothing to stop you, from reaching the rising sun over there" Sai continued to sing as the raiders tried to make sense of what they were hearing. Being built for the sole purpose of killing the raiders weren't programmed with any understanding of music, but since their brains were based on human minds their reaction to music was simple; either they liked or they didn't. "In that sky where we keep fighting the aurora starts to descend in that night of despair you won't ever be alone" and from the countless raiders following him and not firing on him, "With just one word you can decide your future, Our beat is like a shining diamond, Into the true sky Into the true sky, Into the sky in which our lives shine" most did. "Fly Away-Fly Away, Let's climb so high, Try Again-Try Again, Wave at yesterday" Meanwhile inside the lead basestar a model six was heading to the hybrid chamber after it was discovered that the hybrid had diverted quiet a lot of energy to boost audio sensors, without being ordered to. It was her job to find out what caused this apparent malfunction.

"(It's hard enough to deal with hybrids as it is, the last thing we need is for them to be bugging out on us)" She thought to herself as she entered the chamber. What she had expected to find (some kind of blown circuit or something else that could affect the hybrid) she didn't. Instead the chamber looked fine, all the power systems were ok and the data streams displayed on the walls all looked fine. "Which means there's something wrong with you she said as she keeled down and leaned over the edge of the tank (more like a tub) holding the hybrid. The lone Cylon Centurion on guard looked at the model six for a moment before retuning to it normal stance. Just as she was about to move towards the central interface circuit the hybrid sat up in her tank and grabbed the six's arm.

"Baby, what do you want to do? I'm driving. My hands are on the handle bars and I'm standing by. Do you want my heart & want my love? NO!? Forget that, let's swing and KISS!" sang the hybrid, at that moment the six felt an incredible surge of energy pass through her. "I say "NO" to a half-baked style. A LOVE that makes me soar is for me.

Beautiful! Excuse me! If you wish for them, lalala, possibilities" continued the hybrid as Six felt the energy build.

"Point, I don't care. Dollars, how much fake? Point, one in two, but if there's love, then do it!" They sang together after which every system inside the basestar went nuts and overloaded as the hybrid chamber was engulfed in a flash of unrestrained sound energy. To those outside the basestar seemed to glow bright white right before letting off a huge sound energy shockwave.

"Whoa, what was that?" Sai asked himself as he checked his systems to find that his sound system was down, but then something came over the com-line.

"What 'bout my star?" came the voice over the com-line; Sai's onboard on-board sound energy detector told him who or what ever was strong and located inside the ship that had decide to pull off the deus ex machina. The other two ships seem freaked out and were backing away from their sister vessel as they recalled their fighters (most followed the recall order but a few the raiders hit by Sai felt drawn to stay and hear this new music). When one of the large pylons of the distressed ship exploded Sai acted without thinking and headed straight into the basestar.

"Sai what the hell man, it's over they're backing off!" Mark tried to tell him but couldn't get through; all the com-lines were jammed with the mysterious singing. As Sai approached the fallen basestar several raiders came up behind him in an escort formation.

"So you guys want to help me Eh?" Sai asked himself as he unloaded his fighter's weapons onto the basestars hull with the raiders following suit.

"Let me know what you want, I would give you! How fantastic to be with you. My love! Let me know what you want, I would give you! How fantastic to be with you. My love!" The unknown singer continued as Sai and his three raider escort flew towards the source. When Sai came up to a large blockage with his target just behind it he changed his Messiah to battroid and proceeded to breach the blockage (decompression wasn't a concern because the area he and his 'friends' were in still contained a strong atmosphere)

"Even if this love is a lie, GO! You only get one shot, so let's make it Exciting! Wonderful! Charming you! I want to GET you, lalala. We'll sing around the world." Sang the voice inside the chamber with in; there was still a lot of sound energy inside the chamber but Sai could make out two forms: one small one which appeared to be human and another behind that was much larger and clearly not human, as the light faded he got a better look.

"3. Hey, I count down. 2. Are you ready? 1. I can't wait anymore. 0. Let my love be heard!" sang the young girl supported by the larger robot. As far as Sai could tell the girl couldn't be older then 17 or 18 and was very pale; she also had the deepest red eyes he had ever seen and her hair was so silver it looked almost metallic. The robot looked like your typical kind of soldier robot: tall and deadly, although the blue eye-like light from its head looked a little out of place. As Sai stared at them he realized the girl had stopped singing. The large robot looked up at the VF-25.

"PLEASE HELP HER" The machine pleaded Sai. The Messiah changed to gerwalk mode and opened the cockpit hatch.

"Bring her here and I'll take in the cockpit, you'll have to get in the back okay?" he asked the machine as it handed him the girl; Sai opened the passenger section behind his cockpit.

"THAT WILL BE FINE, BUT WE MUST LEAVE NOW THE BASESTAR'S POWER CORE IS ONLY MINUTES AWAY FROM EXPODING" The machine explained as it climbed into the seat. Sai nodded and took off as the hatch closed. If Sai hadn't been so rushed he might have noticed the dried out husk lying in the tank in the chamber's center or the other remains right beside it.

"Come on, come on" Sai said aloud as he and his small group managed to clear the ship before it blew. "Man that was a close call wasn't it" Sai told the sleeping girl as he looked around. "Oh that could be bad" Sai said as he saw several fighters approaching on an intercept with his group and they weren't from the Enterprise.
