Chapter two
Sweden now had several vital things in interstellar affairs; they had their own outpost, a smaller fleet, weapons and shield technology. The 304 Zeus had been given asgard weapons, which the 303 Orion hadn't.
Just with in a week after finding the outpost on P1X-279, they had found another two ZPMs. In addition of the two ZPMs they found before. One of them was powering the Zeus, the other one the Orion and the last two was powering the outposts defences, such as drone weapons and shield.
The Swedes had also begun to set up a ship building yard. It was only 50% ready, but it was still on a good way. The Americans and the Jaffa did not like it. The Jaffa because earth could become to power full, and the Americans because they where just simply jealous.
Chief engineer of the Zeus was Major Erika Jonsson. She had spent the days after the Zeus arrived finishing and upgrading every thing she could. She hadn't slept in a week. Commander of the Zeus is Colonel William Hagberg. He came down to the engineering room.
"Major, go and get some sleep. You haven't slept in a week" Hagberg said.
"Soon sir. I just have to finish calibrating the asgard weapons" Jonsson said.
"We have other people that can work on it. Go. To. Bed. Now. That is an order Major."
"Fine.. But don't blame me if we fire 200 meters of targer"
Major Jonsson slept like a baby. It was night, and not many where up at this hour. A few hours later, the clock was 0900 hours. And it was time for the Orion to go to Atlantis for the first time. The IOA had to order General Landry to let the Swedes go. Apparently, he was still pissed by the fact that equipment still kept pouring through the gate to P1X-279.
"Colonel, she's good to go." Jonsson said.
Colonel Hagberg took his seat in the captains chair of the Zeus. The Zeus took off, and shot into the sky. Leaving the New York size city behind.
"We're receiving a message from the Orion. She has gotten a message from Atlantis. It says that there's a ZPM powered hive on the way to earth!"
"What the.. Tell them to proceed at maximum speed to earth. Major, lay in a course for earth." Hagberg ordered. Seconds later, the Zeus entered hyperspace for earth.
During the 5 hours hyperspace journey, the Zeus receives a call that says; ZPM hive has dropped out of hyperspace over earth. It has sent a wave of darts. Can not dial the stargate, there is a gate on the hive.
"Is that all it says?" Hagberg wonders
"Yeah. And we are coming up on earth sir. Ready to drop out of hyperspace.
Colonel Hagberg nods, and the Zeus drops out of hyperspace. Directly, it's met by the super hive. The hive opens fire.
"Launch all 302s and jumpers! Fire all batteries!" Hagberg yells out as sparkles and shield impacts lighten the bridge. The Zeus spits out heavy fire power, due to it's ZPM powered shields and weapons.
"Stargate Command, this is Colonel Hagberg of the 304 Zeus. We are engaging the hive. Request F-302s to handle the in coming bogies. Our fighters are not enough." Hagberg sends out his com
"This is Colonel Samantha Carter at the SGC, we'll send up as many fighters as we can. But most of them was destroyed in the battle over area 51! Just so you know, the Odyssey is on it's way, but it's 3 hours out. Atlantis is still en-route, but we haven't heard from them in a while!" Carter says and the com cut's. Over earth, the Zeus and it's fighters are starting to wear out.
"Shields can't take much more of this!" Major Anna Lund, the 2IC, yells out.
The Zeus is getting battered hard. To hard for the shield generators to handle. The ZPM can only supply so much power before it over loads, more power is fed to the shields and weapons systems then the ZPM can handle.. On the helms officers screen, a warning and another alarm comes up, alerting them of imminent ZPM over load…
