"Report, Malkav," Metavon said sternly through the other end of the video link. The insane commander was rocking back and forth on his chair, muttering something under his breath. "Malkav!" The man shot straight up and plucked off an imaginary strand of hair off his uniform. Nodding, he began. "The web is vast and muddled, the spider is nowhere to be found, Electricity flows and deposits, its location known to but one." "What are you talking about, Malkav?" "They call it the Net...it oversees the precious. Now it has become one." He began to sway, his eyes closed. "We can pluck a strand here, a strand there...but it all comes down to one." "We take down the main data block and the Net is gone then?" Malkav giggled, eyes still closed. "Perhaps. But the web holds many secrets, some even their owners have forgotten." "System locations, fleet movements?" Malkav nodded and jumped up and down. "Can I take it? Can I please?" Metavon shook his head. "No. The chief wants this to go off without a problem. Send me the coordinates and I shall take care of it." Malkav slouched his shoulders forward, a slightly audible pout echoing in the still room. "Fine. I shall untangle the web, the spider will only remain unseen for a little longer." "See to it, then Malkav. And do not fail the chief on this...he will be unforgiving." The video connection ended, leaving Malkav to view the distant system. Cleansing the last planet was just a dry run, to see the defenses and response times of police units. One piece of the plan had fallen into place. Now it was time to see how much knowledge he could pry from the dead. |

Milky Way, Kalunous System: As the massive enemy ship moved with total disdain through Titan Space, the trap had been set. Watched the second they reappeared in normal space the eyes of the Titan Net had watched and coordinated and now stood ready….. 3 Hyperspace windows peel open, their multicolored tunnels ejecting 3 “Attila” class ha’tak, the pride of the Titan Fleet. The ships glittering black hulls are deeper then night and fierce as the lights on the pyramids come to full life illuminating the symbol of the Titan Empire. The lead vessel, ”Remus” takes the point in the arrow shaped formation as dozens of “Harpy” class DeathGliders stream from the launch bays. On the “Remus’s” pel’tak a Minor Lord, Haragin leans on his throne’s arm and yawns as he see the Peragnith ship, he sits up and feigning an air of concern says,” Open the comm..” As the Jaffa at the Comm. console nods Haragin, runs his fingers through his hair and says,” I do not know or care who you are but you have angered those who are your betters and now you will feel the wrath of the Titan Empire.” The comm.. is cut as Haragin makes a motion indicating full battle ready. The 3 black ships open up with fierce barrage of Mark III staff cannon fire as their DeathGliders descend on the ship, their Naquadah tip missiles being let loose, as the DeathGliders break off at the last minute and bank away. The Reflex layer on the black hulled Ha’tak glitter with refracted light as the blast sail forth. Haragin takes a small slice of cheese from a platter being held by a slave as he says,”Oh do hurry with this execution I need to return to Agrippa for the monthly games, I have a hefty purse wagered on my favorite.”…………….. Milky Way, Holy Charon System, Agrippa, Great Ziggurat: The High Priest Pericles stands waist high rail the situation room of the Ziggurat. He watches as the Titan Net feed him live time images of the famed “Attila” class ha’tak engaging the enemy ship. A priest stands next to him a datapad and looks at the pad and then at he screen as he says,” Now these aliens will learn respect for the power of the Goa’uld, for the Titan Empire!” Pericles folds his arms over his chest plate which is hidden beneath his robes of state as he rubs at his chin and says,” Indeed, we will see…..” |

"Tell me," Malkav said, leaning in close to whisper in his sensor operator's ear, "how deep the hole into which we leap?" "Tracking signal now, Commander," came the response. Malkav gave a slight whimper and then jumped backwards, swaying like a drunk as he stared at the assault. "Launch fighters?" asked one officer. Malkav held up a finger and rocked it back and forth. "No need to spoil the surprise...send them a few presents and drift around a bit. I want the precious..." |

Milky Way, Kalunous System, Pel’tak of the “Attila” class ship “Remus”: Lord Haragin stands before the ships main screen and watches as dozens of high powered blast leap from the cannons of his Ha’tak and strike the enemy ship. Haragin’s eyes scan the scene and he frowns as he says, “Status?” A Priest looks up from his console and says, “My Lord these readings from the enemy vessel are foreign, it is hard to tell if we are doing any damage.” Haragin looks puzzled as he says, “Impossible no ship can withstand a barrage from an “Attila” class Ha’tak. Begin targeting hard points, weapons are priority, use full spreads of Naquadah torpedoes, load out the Delta series torpedoes, let’s see them shrug these off!” Haragin watches with a gleam of wickedness on his face as he watches all the DeathGliders break off and speed from the near vicinity of the enemy ship. Dozens of torpedo ports open along the midship of all three black hulled ships, as bright points of light shoot out and leave glittering contrails as they race toward the enemy ship. Haragin shields his eyes as blast detonate on the scale of millions of tons TNT, blast powerful enough to reduce fleets to wreckage, and leave continents as smoking craters…… |

"Signal tracked, commander," came the steady voice amid the rocking of the ship. The shields had held, though they were significantly strained. "Dear Metavon has a thread to clip?" "Yes, commander." "Good. Send it off and charge the light bringers...it is time to remind these spiders that even they are prey to something." *** Haragin squinted his eyes as the explosion glowed as bright as a second sun. The Remus spun slightly as it maneuvered to aim more fully-charged cannons at the intruding vessel. The glare from the burn shifted from orange to red, and he smiled as he thought the vessel destroyed. His mouth gaped open as he realized the glow was getting brighter, the red intensifying in hue. "Move us away!" He cried. A red blast arced towards the Remus, tearing through the shielding and cooking anyone three decks in. It, however, was the lucky one; the other two Atilla-class Ha'tak were blown into scrap metal. The vessel's engines came online, a purplish halo wrapping itself around the strange craft. The viewscreen flickered as the powerful engines created interference with the Remus's electronics. He could almost hear the enemy laughing at him...for all that he threw at that one ship, it simply shrugged it all off and annihilated the defense force. Haragin slumped down into his chair, not knowing how this could be explained, nor what his punishment may be. Closing his eyes, he said the only thing he could say: "Damage report." |

Milky Way, Kalunous System, Pel’tak of the “Attila” class ship “Remus”: Light wisp of smoke float through the air as the red emergency lights pulse inside the pel’tak, before the throne of the ship Haragin kneels as he looks up at the split screen, on the left the image of the High Priest Pericles, who looks thoughtful while on the right the furious visage of the Emperor himself stares at him, as that demonic voice thunders forth,” How is such a thing possible, no one can brush aside 3 “Attila” class Ha’tak!” Pericles nods slightly as he says,” My master, I think it is safe to assume that these are no pirates or raiders we are dealing with, nor a rival System Lord.” Atlas leans back in his throne as he says,” I have reviewed these readings, and their an unintelligible mess, there weapons are indeed intriguing, they match nothing we have seen before, but can you come up with counter measures?” Pericles strokes his goatee as he says,” Perhaps, I will need time, and some testing, but when next they show themselves I advise that we have a larger force available.” Atlas’s eyes narrow as he says,” They have already destroyed 2 Mark II Ha’tak and 2 “Attila” class Ha’tak, what do you advise?” Pericles picks up a data pad and says,” I advise that when next they show themselves that we have the “Che’ops” class Destroyer “Fall of Olympus II” and at least 2 “Hyperion” class ships with support vessels.” Atlas flashes his gleaming serrated teeth as he says,”Hmm, the “Fall of Olympus II” was in reserve status, but if it means taking this ship out and learning who they are, then by all means. And put out feelers to the other Goa’uld see if any of them know anything about this.” The Emperor’s image fades as Pericles is left to look down upon Haragin, he smirks and says,” Repair your ship and return to base, I will “discuss” this failure with you in more depth…..” |
