Asciension War II
Chapter 22; Data Please Jim...
The door to Rodney's office slid open, Weir stepped in, Rodney and Radek were going over the data that the Bane collected before the planet went supernova, so far everything was worthwhile and looked promising. "So, any news?" Weir asked when she came close, Rodney was conffering with Radek, nearby Snowmane snoozed on the cot that Rodney had kept in his office area.
Rodney nodded, "yup" He replied, he pointed at the screen, "according this, and what Lalya was able to implant and also retrive into her data system so easliy before infecting the basestars power grid that made the thing go bang like a solar system. Don't say anything, Radek." Rodney said giving a pointed look towards his current in house friend, that wasn't dead yet and also hated weapons and was also good at making nukes. "Anyway, the data shows that not only were these things planning an invasion, but they weren't expecting us on the planet in question."
Weir just gave him a curious look, as if asking what he meant, Radek spoke up "They go system by system, unlike the Wraith this group, called Cylonii, attack a system for its resources, then move on, as they move on they make more of themsevles and alslo make more ships and otherwise. They pretty much burn out a planet then move on once the planet is nothing but dirt and polluted water"
"So these things were heading here?" Weir asked, there was serious work to be done, so far only one basestar was destroyed and Todd reported the other two moving through a starsystem destroying everything green and iusing the green for energy, litterally taking green energy for face value.
"We don;t know for sure yet, but according to the information Layla was able to gather the direct course of these things would have taken them to where we once were before we moved to M39-PX4." Rodney replied.
"Are we in their line of sight or no?" Weir pressed.
"According to the data, now we are, they know we're a force to be reconed with due to the fact that we took on three of their basestars and barely took a dent to the shields. The fact we took them down so well when we arrived on their basestar on that one planet." Rodney sighed, They had bought some time though.
At Weir's look Radek spoke up, "Whatever this race is does not know about the stargates, if they did then the teams would have to use their lightsabers they all made a few years ago quite extensively*." How thos things worked so well was beyond both Rodney and Radek. However they all had one, even Weir did, but they never took the things to earth.
"Well, if that is the case we'd better alert all personell of the coming danger and to keep vigilant as possible." Weir said, if these Cylonii were targeting planets on a system by system basis, that was a bad thing. A very bad thing.
"Right, in the meantime I think I'll work on finding out more about this new race of beings." If Rodney could find more out about these Cylonii, that would be most helpful to the Atlantis crew as a whole. Rodney then turned and left the briefing room to get to work. Weir hoped things would end like a storybook for some reason or another. But it appeared otherwise now. Another battle, when was it going to end? It didn't matter, what mattered was what to do about this new enemy, it was unlike anything the Atlantis crew has so far met in Pegasus. At least they had one battle under their belts as won. Even though the planet was fried to a burnt crisp.
