Attack9 days
The next week saw the arrival of Captain Brian Jackson's UNSC Able and her massive fleet of civilian ships filled to practically overflowing with just over a million Caprican survivors as well as twenty eight Colonial warships including two massive Battlestars. The civilians were being offloaded into the remains of cities and towns that had been recently drenched in decontamination foam to remove the fatal levels of radiation. Structural engineers all over the planet were working with gusto to fix as many houses and apartments as they could to house the millions of incoming people.
A day or so after the Able and her refugees arrived Captain Eric Howler and Midway's slightly larger fleet returned along with three new UNSC ships with strange weapons and real life aliens, nearly three hundred of them. A large underground mine was turned into a methane dome for the creatures to live in. Some even volunteered to aid in the reconstruction efforts doing manual labor. They had not been as successful finding a few more civilian and military survivors on Virgon.
They also brought news of aliens. These Covenant they had been fighting a war against some of them had come here now. Passing word that if ANY Colonial or civilian ship saw a purple hulled ship they were to immediately flee and put as much distance between them and the aliens as possible.
Which prompted UNSC files showing some of the battles they had been in before arriving in Colonial space showing UNSC cruisers larger than battlestars taking a single solid hit from what the UNSC personnel called a excavation beam and being practically cut in half massive MAC rounds that had completely annihilated Cylon base ships boeing shrugged off by energy shields with little or no effect. Entire flotillas or fleets being destroyed by lone purple monsters.
After a brief meeting with the highest ranked Colonial officials and military personnel a subtle search began having people waved by a theta band wand under the fabricated concern of a disease the Colonials didn't have resistance to. Discovering the face of another clone Cylon model. After a full sweep of the nearly four hundred and eighty million and change people and no new models were discovered the round up began.
A brief manhunt using only UNSC and Colonial marines nearly four hundred Clone cylons were discovered most of them fought to the death or killed themselves however one was captured working in a Colonial field hospital the fourth of the six a being according to his identification papers named Simon Bradly. The field hospital he was a part of had the highest number of fatalities in the area.
UNSC code monkeys didn't even bother asking verbal questions as with the help of a dozen UNSC and Colonial Marines tied the thing down even securing his head so he couldnt attempt to suicide out. Using a newly manufactured AI Riemann matrix chip to download the Cylon and pull it apart line by line.
While that was underway. The UNSC crews were Juggled a bit to bring the new ships up to nearly full strength.
What was discovered was a vast store of intelligence, most of it was human biology and medical data related to the next step in the cylons proposed evolution in their ideas to become even more human than they already were. But the most important information was other Colonial Units had survived the fall and were making the best of hit and run tactics the closest of these was a Royal Virgon Guard task force of twelve warships escorting a ragtag group thirty civilian ships one of these doctors was apparently stationed aboard a Colonial Battlestar the Virgons had rescued during the opening attack. Their last known position was the Odessa Nebula on the farside of Colonial space.
With that information and future issue of sleepers resolved Captain Howler brought up the information involving the three Jackal pirate ships and the trio of UNSC warships running wild in this new area of the galaxy they found themselves in and three operations were planned.
The first would be a pure Colonial mission to recruit these Virgon ships and bring them to Scorpia.
The second mission was for the five Schooite class corvettes to scout for the UNSC ships and bring them into the fold here. While also watching for any trace of the jackals. Along with passive searches for surviving elements of Colonial military and civilian ships
And finally the heavy hitters of the UNSC fleet MIdway, Able and Colossus would engage in independent hit and run attacks on Cylon shipping and blockades. To keep the pressure up and the cylons too preoccupied holding their gains to overwhelm them with hundreds if not thousands of base ships and millions of fighters.
Captain Brian Jackson upon hearing of Commander Hooks proposal to install the more advanced UNSC point defense guns on Colonial ships and even supplementing the existing ships AAA defense gave his blessing. And after more and more COlonial officers saw the files of UNSC combat, more heavier weapons were being requested.
President Horner emerged from her four day long bender into the archives onboard the UNSC Artemis to attend the meeting of war and after hearing the news ordered the UNSC forces to take ownership of shipyard facility Scorpia station F to use as they saw fit to produce more ships and weapons that could directly face the growing threat of the Covenant and the Cylons.
And then news of the possible connection between the Colonials and UNSC slipped out and questions flew from both sides.
"Are they the thirteenth tribe?"
"Were the ancient greek visited by these people and that's how the religion got started?"
Were the most common but by far the only ones circulating. Among the refugee and military population on and around Scorpia.
Aboard the UNSC destroyers and frigates Pelicans were offloading the entire complement of longswords and ground vehicles to store additional munitions for their upcoming strikes against the Cylons. Leaving the Pelicans aboard just in case the small dropships were needed.
The three UNSC warships as one jumped individually to begin their lightning raids against the cylons.
The five Scholt and Mako class corvettes headed off in search of the Hawaii and her escorts.
Leaving the Artemis behind to begin work on converting Shipyard F to UNSC standard construction using the missing members of her crew to fill out the crews of the other ships to take the first class of four hundred Colonial born human recruits into the UNSC Navy. using thousands of shipyard workers it was estimated the conversion would take a month.
Commander John Hook watched over the course of a day hoping they had time to get some new ships built.
On the edge of colonial space Resurrection class ship
Three model ones and a model two look at the hundreds of failed downloads in confusion from humanoid cylons embedded in various ships stations and cities across the colonies of Scorpia and the navy ships that had been stationed there.
"Something is frakking wrong im telling you one of the ones told his brothers and sisters.
"We have had hundreds of failures before this brother your over thinking this." another one said.
"They go to be one with our god brothers." the two said "we should be so lucky to become one with god."
The three Ones look at eachother with a mix of annoyance and exhaustion "we should run diagnostics just in case." The three of them nodded and went their separate way leaving the religious fanatic two to pray.
