Beta: Whitetiger62512 - Thanks for doing the work to help fix up my errors

Carlthomson: Yes there will be Battlestar Galactica involved and a few other universes as well which I have some ruff ideas on but not implemented yet. That will be explored later.

storyseeker7: Will it get messy yip.

Admiral Orinia on board the TALON

She was currently in the sparing ring with Sabelus one of the few infantrymen aboard her ship engaging in CQC, they had already gone multiple rounds trying to beat each other. ''This is getting annoying having to wait for reinforcements, while our people are stuck on that colony.'' Growled out Sabelus, as he sent a jab at the Admiral only for it to be blocked and countered with a swift kick to his leg.

''They will be here soon enough and we can pay them back in full,'' states Orinia only to narrowly avoid a leg strike.

Blocking her counter strike only to be hit by a quick jab to the chest Sabelus loses his balance and is quickly knocked on his arse. ''Damn! Guess you win the round.'' He wheezes out.

''Good Spar, get yourself cleaned up and fed.'' She commends as she begins to move out of the ring.

Making her way towards the ship's showers while undoing her armor.

''Admiral sensors have picked up hundreds of transports coming through the relay, you are needed on the bridge.'' Says one of her men over the PA system his voice neutral.

Her shoulders slumping slightly trying to suppress the groan that escaped her. Composing herself and making her way towards the bridge, bringing up her Omni-tool and keying the bridge. ''Do we have any word from Captain Siliana on what their planing?.'' She Asks calmly.

''No Admiral, they are going through the information at the moment.'' Answers the officer.

''Good, I will take a shuttle to her ship so that we can plan, no need to waste time.'' She states Conviction in her voice.

''No need Admiral they are already on their way to the Talon Ma'am'' Came the officer's reply, he sounded tired. She made note of that and would probably have to go over the schedules later.

''Understood what about the information from the battle that looked stranger than usual engagement with their group.'' She asked the ship's command crew while moving towards the ship's elevator while manoeuvring around a repair crew most of them working slowly.

''Not much Ma'am the Humans dumping so many of their munitions nearly fried the ships sensors and VI, Though from what we could gather it seems that some of their ship's weapons just did not seem to work properly not to mention I have strange readings, it seems for some reason that some of the ship's kinetic barriers just never activated.'' Came a different officer's voice.

''I want those results sent to my Omni-tool and cross-check them with previous information if you have the time, something about that fight was strange. I also need the information about this new force so I can start planning'' She orders while moving towards the ship's main elevator.

Making her way towards the Talon's hangar bay while information was sent over to her Omni-tool. It showed a massive number of transports with a small escort and a single dreadnaught protecting the transports, trying to make a plan that could deal with them, she failed to notice a human shuttle landing in the bay.

A tap to her shoulder brought her attention over her shoulder, noticing that it was just her marine escort she relaxed, going over the details of the information waiting for the shuttle to open its ramp.

''That Shuttle is a beauty don't you think Ma'am'' Asks Sabelus sounding awed looking over the Thunderhawk.

''I guess, I think that it would definitely get people on the ground and support them but, It's just look at that thing it's so much larger than one of our shuttles and it is more like one of our gunships.'' Says Orinia a little emotion in her voice.

Sabelus grunts his agreement while he examines the large gunship. While one of three bays open up at the nose of the transport, three figures exiting one been the captain and her two guards all in alliance armor.

''Captain, I was just going through the information, I would suggest we head for the CIC center of the ship so that we can draw up a battle-plan or see what you have.'' Says Admiral Orinia as more of an order than a suggestion.

''All right, Admiral this is your boat so lead the way.'' She responds to the captain while making a human gesture with her hand.

Turning and heading towards the CIC Orinia noted that the captain moved to her side.

Siliana turned her head towards the admiral. ''I have a plan that I would like to go over when we arrive but, it carries a lot of risks I want your input.'' She says sounding slightly distracted.

''I understand but we can't risk giving away our ships, an in-system jump would allow them to track us here,'' Orinia states while stepping into an elevator.

''Yes but I was thinking of using what remained of our stealth vessels to go through with this, We currently have one over Shanxi with another thirteen within the fleet of ten are destroyer class,'' Siliana states while she steps into the elevator and using her Omni-tool to project a hastily drawn out plan with a static map of the system and the projected course of the new ships.

Tapping her fingers across the display she zoomed in to where the transports were and there projected path. ''Currently, we have over 800 transports that just came through the relay and this is the path they are taking.'' Siliana states as the projection begin to scroll over to a new image a strange ball with long protrusions.

''These were laid by the fleet in the retreat from the relay, they are marked IV Nuclear space mines capable of producing three thousand kilotons of force.'' Orinia nods to thinking that it would be a good plan. The elevator opens after a short ride and she takes the lead moving quickly to the CIC.

''That's not a bad Idea I think the Talon has a few mines that are slightly stronger than that if you can get them deployed it should give our people on the planet more time.'' She says while looking at the plan before signalling for one of her men to get the Mines ready.

''I see, if we use them to take out a large enough portion of the invasion force it will give the men on the ground some time to rest, I also want to use our stealth ships to hit them after detonation to give the colony more time.'' She says while looking uncomfortable as they enter the CIC.

Orinia leads the Captain over to a tactical display and uses it to bring up the plan. ''I can see and it's not a bad plan though it could use some refinement before those transports get closer to the main fleet, I would also advise against such a move there are too many risks even if they can safely stealth away after the mission. Any word on the main battle group?'' She states while moving multiple symbols for the plan while asking for an update on their reorganising.

''Nothing yet but I could task three of our stealth ships to look for them and to search for the rest of the fleet and the area but it's has a higher risk of the new mission failing. Also,'' Siliana says as she brings up an image of the fleet over Shanxi. She points towards a single Dreadnaught. ''This is where the Batarian Admiral is. I want to have a few of the remaining jump troopers we have jump and board it, and have him killed while taking more data from the ship, so I would like to request the ship's layout if you have it and possibly some of your troops.'' She finished not sounding too happy about the idea.

Orinia goes over the information thinking of different plans while looking at the projector. ''I think it is a good plan, but how do you plan to get your people off that ship,'' she says still going over a plan. ''The other thing is what do you need my men for?'' She asks while running the plan through a simulator.

Admiral Porvan

He stood on the bridge of the ship looking out one of the windows while going over his fleet's information. He noted that the fleet was mostly grouped, over the planet with a token force near the relay. He grinned as he noticed that the full invasion forces had arrived with its escorts. He made his way towards his chair so that he could watch the invasion begin upon their arrival.

He watched as a representation of the system came to life waiting for the fun to begin, he watched as his crew began to send out his orders and do what was needed.

A massive flare on his projector caught his attention as he looked sharply to it, noticing that it had originated in the transport fleets location, only for thirteen ships to appear on sensors. Around half the transports.

''MOVE TO INTERCEPT THOSE DAMNED SHIPS!'' Porvan Bellows while his hands try to crush his armrests.

''What is the status of the escorts and how long do we have till we arrive?'' He orders while looking at the display focusing on it.

His pilot is the first to respond in a tight voice. ''We will be in optimal firing range in eight minutes Admiral.'' He answers as fast as possible while getting the ship moving.

The ship shakes for a moment a few seconds before the fleet is underway, only for his ship's engines to blow out in a quick explosion, knocking the crew off balance for a moment, porvan got up and looked around growling as he watched his fleet pull away. ''STATUS REPORT!'' He barks out.

''We don't know Admiral, engineering reports that the engines exploded for an... WE HAVE BOARDERS and are been jammed!.'' says a communications officer only to shout at the end his voice showing signs of worry.

Porvan grabs his helmet and slides it on and taking his pistol out. ''Prepare your weapons what is the status of our forces,'' Porvan Growls out while cycling his projector to the borders.

Sergeant Jack Miller Hunter Ellis airlock(30 minutes earlier)

He stood in his fully sealed jumpsuit at the head of an eight-man squad. Looking out to the enemy fleet, his gaze on the dreadnaught believed to hold the hostile VIP.

''Nothing like a good old fashion spacewalk, right Miller?'' joked Madison her voice carrying an edge of nervousness, her visor fully polarized and her black and Blue armor clean and unmarked.

Turning his head to look at her and nodding. ''Ya though I have to agree there, I just wish that there was more stuff to look at, it just seems so bland, like Vega.'' He responds good-naturedly, an OI on the back ground channel at his comment.

Quickly going over to Madison and checking all of her seals and clapping her on the shoulder, giving her the all-clear. Looking down over the large number of C12 they were carrying.

''You think the boys down on Shanxi will like the fireworks show were going to put on for them?'' Vega asks his voice chipper.

''Maybe, but I think we may be going for a bit of overkill.'' Says Madison sounding thoughtful while bringing one her hands to her chin.

A sound over the Comm's grabs their attention. ''Okay people were opening up the airlock in a moment, Good luck out there.

The squad goes over the final checks and gets ready, the airlock sucks all the air out of itself as the lock begins to open. The eight-man squad jumps out making use of miniature corrections to stay on course. Miller looks around and sees that the breaching team of 16 Jump troopers and Eight Turian Special forces on his HUD further away. Focusing back on their objective the engines on the back of the ship.

Looking at the view of the planet he can't help but admire how it looks from space, It takes a while to arrive at their objective it was silent as they slowly drifted towards the ship, it's size slowly increasing.

Slowly decreasing his velocity as his squad does the same, as they near the ship they pass the kinetic barriers, turning so their feet are angled to meet the ship and activate their mag boots. Looking around he sees that his squad is all in position, signalling to move towards the engines while pulling out charges.

The squad of 8 moves around the ship's large engines, placing their explosives all around them using up most of their stock, they are signalled by the main group to breach. They move to a nearby airlock hoping that they're not picked up on sensors.

Miller looks to his hud which indicates he had three minutes until the attack on the convoy occurs. Moving towards the airlock that their squad is meant to breach by. Looking around he sees that his squad is converging on the objective. Upon arriving at the airlock he pulls out some of his C12 and places it to the door, moving back and taking cover away from the airlock.

He looks to his HUD which shows there is a minute left, bracing himself for the explosion to come. His Breathing is calm and controlled his training keeping him calm. The clock slowly ticks down as it hits Zero, he sees small bright marble-sized explosions in the distance. As the ships begin to move the second timer hits zero and their explosives go off. Shaking him a bit. A sudden rush of Air alongside shrapnel blows out into space while the squad waits for it to slow. Vega reacts quickly darting into the airlock placing more charges on the second door, he comes out a moment later and takes cover and then sets off the explosives. Air rushes out again and three of the aliens flying out into the cold void their bodies freezing.

''GO! GO! GO!'' He barks out as they charge into the ship taking cover as they enter, the hall is lit the lights near there door flickering. ''Vega take your fireteam and push through there.'' as he points to the left corridor. ''The rest of you on me we're going the other way. remember people we're here to neutralize their admiral, once that's done see if you can grab intel if not haul ass and deploy planetside.'' He orders sharply.

They split and advance down the corridor at a good pace, upon arriving at the door Miller pulls out his Omni-tool and began to hack the door. ''Madison check in with the other squad and find out their status.'' He orders only getting a nod from her.

Madison nods her head her gun still pointed at the door as she gets her updates. ''Team one is making good headway towards the engines room, Team two seems to have run into resistance and is pushing slowly... Vega says Omni gel works on the locks sir.'' She replies all business

''Save the Omni-gel for this lock I'm almost through we can use it to advance after this point, there got the door,'' Miller says as he brings his gun to the ready.

The doors open and Jackson and Anna prepare a grenade for breaching as air rushes out the doors, they are met with gunfire from two squads of soldiers, as Miller's barriers flare he gets into cover as his squad throw grenades into the corridor, they wait a second and pull out of cover and charge into the room firing taking down the defenders, they dive for cover to avoid a barrage from a turret, Maddison shoots off a grenade from her gun at the turret hoping to take down its gunner, the explosion leaves it a mangled piece of metal while the defenders are all left bleed out.

''Squad Status.'' Barks miller while searching for more hostiles.

A round of all clears and I'm clean are heard, the squad advances to the next door slowly checking the corners for possible traps. They arrive only for the door to open followed by a torrent of bullets hammering their barriers barely making it cover.

Jackson hugs a wall adjacent to him, a small amount of blood running down his chest. ''I'm hit not gonna be able to use my rifle with this till we get a good layer gel on it!'' he calls out as his suit gives him a dose of pain killers into his system.

Quickly deploying a drone to get a look he notices a torrent of guards in the next corridor. ''This is gonna be a problem,'' Miller grunts out.

Admiral Porvan

He stood aboard his ship looking over the security feeds of multiple boarding parties. ''Where did they come from!'' He growls out while sealing his suit and putting on his helmet.

A nervous officer manning the scanning arrays is frantically going through, the ship's readings while looking over his shoulder. ''We don't have anything on sensors admiral, they came out of nowhere.

Porvan tightens his grip on his guns, looking over to his communication officer his face marred by a frown. ''What is the status of the borders and the transports?'' he says quietly.

The communication officer gulps. ''Sir the borders are making good progress our men didn't have their weapons, and they managed to cut us off from the main armory, our only armed guards are at engineering and near the Bridge and they have been lost, and the security teams are reporting there almost here but there is also an issue some of our systems are failing for no reason'' he says dejectedly while looking at his pistol.

Porvan blinks. ''What, they can't be here almost their primitives!'' He says while slouching slightly then a glint enters his eyes and turns to his terminal.

Jack Miller

Walking to the last door with a limp he signals for a breaching charge and aims his pistol. ''Okay this is the last door to engineering once it's broke were getting out of here.'' He says in a bit of pain.

Jackson places a charge and pulls back, an explosion followed by the door bending inwards leaving just enough room to get through, they charge in only to be met with a large group of suited aliens all of which have subdued the Batarians.

Blinking slightly he slowly lowers his rifle at the unknowns. ''Well this makes the mission a lot harder anyone got an idea how to get them out?'' He asks the squad in a small voice.

''I think there might be a few shuttles in the Hanger so.'' Maddison is cut off by an alarm and the drive core starting to get brighter, The suited aliens make a run for the door.

''That can't be good.'' States Jackson as he starts to follow the group of aliens.

Miller turns on his long-range communications. ''All Breaching teams I think the ships gonna blow get to the...'' He never finishes his warning as a gravitational force from the drive-core tears the ship in half throwing him towards a wall.

Captain Siliana

She was looking over the status of the ambush and was sorely disappointed with the results, A deep frown on her face they had only destroyed near 300 transports, the problem is that was only a quarter of them and that she now had eight damaged stealth ships, She put down the datapad and turned to get something to reduce the stress of the situation, As she made to leave now that the fleet was safe a priority alert came from the ORCA.

Establishing a live visual feed with the captain of the ship, which was strange because that broke all kinds of stealth regulations. AS the captain's face appeared it currently had a large gash across his cheek and his bridge in ordered chaos.

''Captian we're getting out of here their flagship just detonated itself, we took a bad hit and our Stealth Systems are down, We will try to make for the city we sent word to the general to clear an airfield, wish us luck.'' and the transmission cuts off.

Taking a seat while taking deep breaths she could barely believe what she heard, her head dropping into her hands and could only loath the plan that had just cost her a valuable ship for the defense of the Colony. She knew it was necessary but she hated having to deal with this Situation She couldn't wait Till the Retribution arrived.

Corporal Ricardo Vega's Fire Team

He awoke dizzy as he floated inside the hostile ship. The ship's power was off and the room was dark. He shook his head to try and clear the small headache, he Quickly turned his suit's Night vision on which showed him that his team was also floating around. their suits all switched over to their rebreathers.

He quickly orientated himself and went over to Isaac first his Systems indicating he had a breach. He was floating bonelessly till Vega grabbed him and checked his suit over only finding a small breech in his leg area. He sealed it quickly and was about to check on the other's when he heard a grown over the local comm's.

Watson slowly came to she felt like shit her right arm numb and legs aching. ''What the shit hit me I feel like I just got hit by a frigate'' She says painfully and groggily. As she tried to look around only to see a single suit's lights on.

''Na just a Dreadnaught, but were alive Bella so check on Claire and get her up while I try to get this idiot up.'' Vega joked while quickly doing a further check on Isaac with his Omni-tool.

The ship shook as if been struck by something. They checked on their suit's while Watson started to try and Get Claire up her suit was fine but she was out cold from a blow to the head. While doing this she had her systems searching for the other unit's comms.

They were in a large room that had a lot of empty cages that were bolted down into the Hull. It was a dark grey and green color the same as most of the ship. They got underway after they were all awake and patched up as best as they could.

They all moved slowly through the ship they came across a lot of dead Aliens with four eyes. As they moved through the ship the Static that had been fulling their systems communication blared to life. It was filled with People issuing orders to jump ship to the planet from those onboard the ship.

Vega quickly answered comms. ''This is Fire-team Savage of Engine team what our Status.'' He questioned over the Comm's coming out a little forceful. The Team continued to move and entered a new room coming across more of the Four Eyed Aliens who had their weapons pointed at others in full Suits.

They quickly aimed and brought them down before they could notice though there was a bit of swearing from Watson when firing her Weapon. She Switched to her secondary as a reply came over Comm's

''This is Breach lead the Orca is heading to the planet she took some damage, We are to get to the planet by any means necessary. We also manage to link with your Squad leader and his squad with the help of a few of the captives on the ship. We're entering the forward section We will send you a rendezvous point.'' Came the orders from Breach Lead.

While this was going on his squad was busy watching the aliens in suits that were busy collecting Weapons. Those that had weapons were not pointed at them but the floor while they looked at them.

''AAH Vega what's that plan here,'' Issac asked sounding confused to what was going on. He shifted putting most of his weight on his one leg that was not to injured. His rifle shouldered but lowered trying to avoid an incident.

Vega did not bother to answer but he did activate his translator on his Squads Omni-tools. ''Friendlies, you got any way of this bucket of bolts.'' He received no reply from them while Claire just shook her head muttering something that sounded like Idiot.

''They won't hear us boss no ATMO gonna have to play charades and hope they don't shoot,'' Claire said and Vega could hear her grinning at him for that mistake.

Vega just sighed. ''Got it, you won't let that go will you?'' He asked rhetorically while lowering his rifle and mag-locking it and then brought up his Omni-tool. He showed them his Omni-tool while slowly steeping towards them.

This seemed to set one of them off because he closed the distance also bringing up his Omni-tool. It seemed that they would be making progress

Jack Miller

He took sight and fired down the Corridor the Batarian going limp as he floated backward. He quickly took cover behind a steel crate as one of the Quarians Blind fired around the Corner. He felt sick and his chest tight he was sure he broke something from the explosion.

He sees tracers fly through the doorway hitting one of the Turians that had survived the Explosion. He hit the pillar behind him his blood leaking out the suit. Shaking his head he quickly primes one of his grenades and throws it through the Door. He only receives a light shake through his suit before he enters the room the Quarian Following him. They were followed by the rest of his Squad and the other teams with three Quarians and two Turians bringing up the rear.

The new room was filled with a few shuttles that looked close to breaking apart. It was dark the only lights coming from their weapons or the Quarian and Turian suits. They secured the room while he received reports from Vega's fire team that was almost to their location. The four Quarians that were checking the shuttles were busy arguing about something.

''What's the status of the shuttles?'' He asked over the comms as his voice came out slightly wheezy. As he walked towards the three shuttles.

The Quarian that was inside the shuttle was the one to reply he wore a red suit. ''This is the only shuttle that's working the other two are busted, were trying to figure out how to get them working.'' The Quarian said sounding tired and a little nasally.

Miller nodded at the report before going over his Options. ''Can you get the other two shuttles to begin re-entry at least?'' He asks while thinking of a possible plan.

A Quarian female just outside wearing purple this time is the one to answer him. ''I think so why most of their engines are shot though?'' She asks sounding Dubius. While looking over the other two shuttles scanning them with her Omni-tool.

He keys a private channel to all jump troopers. ''I have a plan to get us down to the planet.'' He goes over the plan with all the Humans who had boarded the ship. While he is explaining it Vega and his team arrive with five more Quarians.

They would leave fifteen minutes later for the Planet hoping their plan would work.
