Mission #67015

All right people listen up!

Intell. from the Pegasus galaxy. It's not good. We got intell. saying that the Wraith are building two new classes of Battleships. Are mission is to gate to a different world using a cloaked Puddle-Jumper. From there we'll enter hyperspace and go from there. The reason why we're going to gate to another world is because the Wraith have a whole fleet in high orbit. That and the stargate is shielded. We will land and head out on foot. From there we plant charges and detonate them. If we see any other targets, we list them as secondary and we'll take them out later. Intell also says that there will be some big cheese's there. If we find any, take them out. That is a DIRECT order from the President of the United States. And if you see that a$$hole Michael, let me know. I've got one BIG score to settle with him.

(The gate activates and the iris opens. Master Bra'tac exits and is carrying a box.)

Hello everyone. I wanted to thank you for helping us retrieve that information from Ba'al. The Freed Jaffa Federation wanted to give you this for your next mission. It is a prototype weapon that we have been working on. What you do is plug it into any computer system and it launches a virus. The virus causes a enemies core to overload and implode on itself. It will automaticly attach after you set the timer and how big you want the overload to be. Just don't set it to full. Some of the testing showed that if we set it that it has the capacity to destroy an entire planet. I brought 8 with me. Good luck on your mission. I must go now, there are many things I must do to restore the council.

thank you and

Alright men. Line up and count off, load the ship and lets head out!

Gear up!

*locks everything into place and steps in front of puddle jumper that is being ready to set off*

Viper, who is flying this thing today?

*stands ready waiting for rest of team*

I will. You're sitting in the copilot's seat. I figure since I'm one of the best pilots on the base, I should fly us to and back.

*i check my supplies.
p-90, a zat, c-4 and a few grenades, extra ammo, a wicked good knife, and the grizzly. The grizzly is heavy but doable. I start to mentally prepare for the job ahead*
*I also have a few various sensors*

Ready, sir. Glad to be working with you two again. Who else is coming?

I don't know. How long should we wait Viper?

Oh and sounds good Viper!

Thanks for joining Spikes, ready for another heart pounding adventure?!

We'll wait just a bit longer. Give it some time.

*By force of habit, i check all ships systems and sensors, making tiny adjustmenst here and there. I put the sniper rifle in a clip set into the wall. I also unconsiously recheck the varies explosives, guns, and survival supplies on again.
The atmosphere is quiet and a bit tense as we all get ready.

I think, "someone needs to lighten this up a bit"

*having the same thought as simby*

hey guys, its cool, we are just going to blow up a few wraith ships, hey hey, put a smile on be positive, we are the ASGC, we are a family! We can do this, nothing happens to nobody!


*whispers to Viper*

your arm ok?

It's fine. Thanks. All right ladies and gents, let's move out.

*Touches the dailer on the puddle jumper and the gate activates.*

*i monitor various sensors as we get ready to go through the gate*

All systems go, sir

*sits down in co-pilot seat, swivels and give simby a quick smile, then turn to my console*

sir, all systems set over here, shields are up, and weapons are set...just in case, speaking of, should we go in cloaked?

*something on my console starts to blink*

now who could that be?

*i touch a button and a face appears*

"Hey this is Walter, just wanted to say good luck!*

*turns around and smirks at Spikes and Viper*

Haha, thanks Walter!

We really need to take Walter with us one of these times.

*i settle in and relax*

As the tense air around ship began to fade the team started up the puddle jumper just as Walter came by to wish them luck. As the ASGC team prepared to start there mission they figured they would be going it with little assistance as they had before with previous missions. They may not have had legions of soldiers dedicated to teams but what they did have was family and everyone came with them on the mission even if only in spirit. The different thing about it this time though was that the ret. General was waiting behind Walter as he exited. This time the one as Angus Mulder was not just there in spirit but all strapped up and ready to take a flight with them to an all new planet to eradicate the wraith.

the "General" stood there at the end of the entryway to the jumper and stared back at all his comrades who where unexpecting of his presence. Soon he started heading and sat next to Sims who he had became quite comfortable around as he had made her his aide de camp on his previous mission he assigned to the ASGC.

Just as a thought randomly coming into his head the general had said " What is my code name going to be? I know you all have them though sadly I have forgotten them so I would be glad to hear them again and I will commit them to memory. Please let me know what you think I should be called since I dont really think that you all seeing me as the "general" quite works for me. I have no idea what to call myself so Ill let you guys decide for yourselves"

*Just everyone got settled in I took one last look out at the earth as we got prepared to jump into the puddle known as the Stargate. The land was beautiful and everything was peaceful and everyone knew that the serenity wouldn't last but enjoyed it while it was there*

"I'm Ares" I say right behind everyone, scaring the crap out of everyone
"You guys trying to leave me!?!? Better luck next time. I'm all ready to go!"

Spikes here, sir. Good to have you on board.

*i continue to check ships sensors and supplies*

*Suddenly the back door opens and General Angas_Mulder walks in and sits down. He's carrying a P-90, a 9mm and a Zat on holsters, and a Re'tu gun.*

Hello general. Glad you could join us on this mission. ASGC this is Puddle-jumper 1, we're ready to disembark.

[ASGC Control] (Copy Puddle-jumper 1, you're cleared to disembark.)

Okay here we go.

*I close the door and we go through the gate. Just as soon as we go through the gate we reappear on the other side.*

Alright people listen up. We are now in enemy territory. It will be several hours before we get to our objective. Now, the Wraith are building a new class of ship. Intell. says they have the ability to travel to Earth non-stop. Are mission is to take them out. We also have secondary objectives. If you see any high level targets or personal, we are to take them out. Now, like I said, it'll be awhile before we get there. So, you may want to get some shut eye.

Righty then! Starts blowing up ballons and making animals.

Alright Viper, good idea!

*whispers over to the general*

ill tell you all the code names

Viper is...well Viper is Viper.
I'm Halo
Simby is Spikes
and POC is Ares...

I was thinking Angus of a name for you...since you started the ASGC, you might as well be called Eagle, a simple of freedom and leadership....how do you like it?

As Viper is flying I advise you all to get some shut eye just as Viper said...

*turns to Viper*

Viper, it looks like a few drones are disabled, im getting a sensor reading at my console that things are a little jammed....mmm odd.

I'll take a look at it and see what I can do, shouldnt be a problem...How long do we have?

and Ares... no fooling around, get some sleep, youll need it, this is gonna be HOT!

Alright, just be careful.

"Shut eye, sir? I don't think that's possible for me. Already got the sleep i need. You know me, sir. Pure adrenaline. hehe."

"Halo, my sensors are showing that the drones are locked into place and that locking mechanism is what is stuck. We may have to unlock them manually once we land."

"Ares, cute puppies. But lets not get carreid away, dude. Unless we can sick em on the wraith."

*i lean back and relax for a moment.
Looking at my seat partner, i smile at nothing in particular. Its good to be on a mission again. Good to be moving*

"Eagle, that's a great handle. And i was only going to suggest Mac. I think i like eagle better. What about you, sir?"

*It seemed quite imediant that "Halo" had acknowledged the presense of the newly suggested name of "eagle and this seemed to be the favor of "Spikes" as well. The name was suitable and well picked so from then forth it seemed it was so, that the new code would be "Eagle"*

"Thanks guys I really appreciate the new name and I appreciate it very much, I will wear it proudly! Some shut-eye though, I think ive been asleep to long but if Viper really suggests it, well I have a strange feeling this aint goin to be easy so I think I will rest up while I can. Thanks for the support though guys and gals. You can do what ya need but you can just wake me up when we get there,... unless it's an emergancy ofcaorse."

*With this off his chest Eagle slowly fell into a sleep that was beyond meditative and was almost in a state of where only Teal'c and other Jaffa had gone before them. The sleep was deep and peacfull untill the moment arrived for when action would need to be taken.*

Viper, I will sir, always am...

Spikes, thanks for checking on that, i might play around with the grid, not too much though, and see what I can do from here, but yes we may need to land first...ill see

Eagle, glad you like it! I thought it suited you nicely!

*gets out of co-pilot seat and walks to the back, opens the grid and starts poking at it with the pointer*

"Obiviously my talents aren't aprecciated on this plane"
I make a nice cozy pillow out of ballons.
ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz

its a puddle jumper...

and i love your balloons, but we ARE in a mission, later please show me, id love to see!

and good, get some shut eye Ares, sweet dreams

Angus "Eagle" Mulder. Has a nice ring to it. Makes mine seem rather blunt.

*i gently wipe the drool off of poc with a large bath towel. I take one of his puppies and nestle it on his shoulder.
Satisfied that its looking very good, i take a pic for posterity. We all break out in a chuckle at my new pic*

"Guys, wait til poc sees this!! hehe. He'll kill me.

Halo, having any luck with that grid?"

*i adjust a few buttons and blinky lights go on and off.*

"Viper, my long range sensors are detecting a salvage type ship doing mach 8, heading in this direction. A bit unusual for a salvager, don't you think?"

That it is. The ship is cloaked so they won't spot us. If it's stiil in the area when we come back we'll check it out. Our first priority are those new Wraith ships. Standby guys, I'm increasing the power to the engines. We should be there soon once I do this.

*I close my eyes and we takeoff at an incredible speed. About ten minutes later the sensors make a binging sound.*

Guys, you may want to see this.

*Up ahead is an entire fleet of Wraith Hiveships, battleships, cruisers, frigates, and some kind of other light ship that is covered in turrets and two hanger bays full with darts.*

I think we're here. What do you think?

OMG, that is quite the fleet, id love to see a showdown between them and the Ori!

Viper, hold off for a few seconds, im almost done back here!

Spikes wake up Ares, tell him to get strapped in!

What are these guys planning? I mean look at all this. This looks like an invasion fleet. You think that they may try to attack Atlantis again? The sensors are picking up fleets just as big and even bigger all over this system. Hmm... there are no lifesigns on the planet where the ships are suppose to be. Wait... there's some kind of energy signature coming from one of the moons. Oh my god. They have a ZPM. But what are they using it for? Scanners show that there are lifesigns on that moon. Looks like have to make a detour. Strap in boys and girls, this is going to get very interesting.

*i shake Ares awake*

"time to rock, Ares. Strap in and take a look outside"

*I settle in next to Eagle. My heart rate is up and all senses are on alert*

"oh, viper, i monitored that salvage ship. No life forms on it. I believe its a recon ship. I have a subspace message ready to send to hq to get someone out there and grab it. Will send it out on your ok.
As for the wraith welcoming committee, all i can say is God help us, it looks like they are getting ready to storm the whole damn universe!!!"

*i look out and try to imagine how many wraith must be here. Suddenly, the grizzly is looking like a pop gun. I know this is going to be quite a challange. I say a prayer and continue monitoring various sensors*

*As all the commotion about me rattles me and stirs me from my sleep it appears that the motherload of all wraith attack vessels has came t ogreet us even if unnaware of our presensce. Ofcoarse they were just making sure whatever they had planed was unhindered which included preventing the likes of them getting near it. "Eagle" knew it was up to them to stop this threat and make sure it didnt reach its intended target where ever that place may have been.*

"Hey guys what exactly should I be doing here I dont exactly feel like im much of a help. Do you need me to do anything specific? I dont know much in the way of warfare but I can help you intelligance department. Ive always leaned more towards stealth and gathering info then assaults and destroying. Well anyways here I am, I think you guys should be the one ordering me around on this one!"

Spikes, theres no need to call in a team, we will check it out on the way back, dont worry bouts it.

and Eagle, dont worry i have just the job, we will cloak the ship once landed, you can stay here if youd rather not kill many people yourself, gather intelligence and help us pinpoint our targets, thatd be a great help to us, if thats something you are up too!


Everyone get ready we are about to land.

*I move past the enemy ships with ease and land on the farside of the moon. I open the door and we begin to move out.*

Alright team listen up. Our objectives have changed. Our proiority is to get that any other ZPM's that the Wraith have. First, we're going to set up a surveilance spot on the side of that nearby hill. Then, we'll move in and steal that ZPM and destroy anything and everything in our way. Eagle you'll stay with simby and watch our backs. The rest will come with me and we'll steal that ZPM and kill any Wraith that we come across. The generals will probably be pissed that I took these but oh well.

*I pass out a Sodan cloaking device to each member.*

These are Sodan cloaking devices. We've fixed the problem of the radiation and the whole seeing things from another time and space. We'll use them to sneak into the base right past the Wraith.

"hehe, force of habit on the message to hq, viper. I have the computer monitoring that salvage ship so we will know where it went."

"Eagle, looks like its you and me and the grizzly.
You will love it - we kinda spruced it up a bit with a lil more power".

*I fall in next to Eagle. I know he will be an asset to our team, even though he is a bit skeptical of his abilities. I know he is an expert marksman and am delighted that he is my partner on this mission. I suspect we will have to do a lot more than just be lookouts.
I look at the others, and realize that their lives may very well depend on how well mulder and i do our jobs. My senses and heart rate go up a notch.*

"Better cloak, guys, sensors are picking up a small party of wraith marching this way. They should go right by us, but very close."

*takes a cloaking device as Viper explains it being fixed*

very good viper, glad to hear it, and dont worry, we have a general with us!

*we leave the ship and head up the hill putting on the cloak as wraith come towards*

Viper, i dont think we should engage yet, they are telepathic, if one of them gets word off that we are here, we will be toast and fast! ...yet we are cloaked...

*Barely breathing, we softly walk by the wraith. Somehow, they don't seem to notice even with there added senses.
Sweat has broken out on our brows...*

*I began lowering my heart pace as the wraith troops seemed to pass by without a clue of our existance. My eyes were closed and my breathing dropped a pace but began to come back again the presence of the wraith faded from notice*

*Soon I saluted the other members of the team and looked beside me to see Sims standing beside me doing the same. The job that I was required to do was of great importance and even if it wasnt front line duty the truth behind truths was that their was always people behind the fog of war pulling the strings and while this operation wasnt soely dependant on "Eagle" and "Spike" I knew that we had just as important role as any member there that day.*

* As soon as I could I got myself aquinted with the computers and began monitering the surrounding area and reported any minor oddities in the local geography as well as anything I thought could be a trap. Nothing major stood out but everything was a possability that something could go wrong. Through the time that passed the tension got hotter and more intense, though Angus just stood there at his site and watched over Sims. The sytems they had to check was tedious work but required for the safety of the team.*

*The patrol moves away and we all begin to move towards the area where the ZPM is suppose to be. We climb a small hill and are shocked st what is in front of us. A Wraith staging area complete with airbases, crusiers, Hiveships, carriers, darts, bombers, barracks, and other large misc buildings. The base appears to be at least 80 miles in diameter.*

Guys.. where the hell are we? You think this is there homeworld? I mean... The ZPM appears to be in that large building in the center of the compound. Lets get in there, steal it and rig some explosives and bug out of here.

*With that said we move out and begin to move towards the base*

"viper, do you still want eagle and i to stand watch up here? I don't know how effective that's going to be considering what's down there.
If this isn't their homeworld. its definately an alpha site. And it looks like its been here for a while."

*i survey the scene below us. I try to imagine how many wraith are down there and realize that the odds, as usual, are against us. I take a deep breath and prepare for the challange ahead of us*

*i get to thetop of the hill and i am amazed!*

HOLY *the sound of my swear is drowned out by a passing cargo ship above, it is huge and flies right above us towards the base complex*

this is enourmous! spikes and eagle and think it would be best if you stayed here, we will need some information confirmation, and some backup when we get out of there, i think thats in our best interest

viper you ready to do this, i dont know how well our cloaks will work inside but, lets do it!

"Sounds good, halo. Just let me know if we need to go quiet on the radio."

*I start setting up the grizzly. Its calming to do these things. I shudder as a cold chill sweeps over me for a second - all these wraith give me the creeps. I set my jaw, and hand eagle some sesors to place.
We both do our jobs with practiced efficiency.*

"Well, partner, you ready for this??"

"Viper, Halo, Ares, godspeed and safe travel my friends. "

*i say a prayer and then say another one.
I notice movement to the left and realize a wraith scouting party is headed in this general direction.*

"We got company at 9 oclock. Better move out now, guys."

*i quickly screw on the silencer that we custom made for the grizzly, and watch the advancing wraiths.*

*I quickly dart to the left catching a glimpse of the wraith raiding party as I manuever into a more stratigeic position behind some folliage nearby. The wraith are loud, not expecting anyone to be foolish enough to be near this site and with noknowledge of out existance in this curent location they steadilly made thier way towards our encampment*

*I look down and catch myself attaching a scope and silencer to my trusty hand gun side-arm. It was standard issue but with the tools and an extra kick from the Asgard technology that I was given access to it seemed like the little gun was all I needed even for the small patrol heading our way.*

*After I completed my objective with my gun I look at the troops again as they were about to bare down on us in only a moments time. I whispered into my headset to get contact with the others as Sims and I waited in our position to see what actions would take place.* ~ "Hey are you guys there, I'm sure you've already noticed but the local patrol isn't pulling any stops and are coming right this way. They still havnt noticed us but im sure they wil once they bump into a large invisable object which is why you have us here. Alright me and "Spike" are ready on your command, just give the orders"

*I quickly grab the grizzly and jump off the path and land next to eagle. As quietly as possible, i sit up and look out - just as the first of the wraith step onto the path where we just were.
There is nothing to do but wait, unless we have to engage them. It seems best right now to hide our presence as long as possible.
The wraith stop and linger around, reminding me of a bunch of punks huddled on a corner for a smoke.
My silent sensor shows that the rest of the team is moving quickly toward the wraith base.
We wait, barely breathing...*

hang in there boys, do not engage until engaged upon or until we order, keep silent until we are spotted!

*Viper, Ares and I sneak past some guards and head towards a buildng*

The Wraith finally begin to move on. The last one turns and looks directly at Mulder and me. I quietly reach for my zat and wait...


Finally, after what seems like forever, the creature turns around and rejoins the rest of the group. I relax my hold on my weapon and notice Mulder is doing the same. We look at each other and allow ourselves a small grin.

Quickly, we cross the path and set up surveillance.

"Geez, that was unnerving." I say in a low voice.
"That scouting party is headed away from the base so the guys are ok for now. I think we should lay down some c-4 here and there. Could make a nice diversion if we need one."

*FPO, Ares, and I get to the main gate and sneak in. The Wraith don't know that we're here. We begin to move towards the center of the base when a large ship flies over and lands at the center of the base. We double time it and get to a high point to see that several important looking wraith exit the craft. Then Michael exits the ship.*

Well I'll be... that SOB survived. Sims, Eagle. This is Viper. We just had a ship touch down, and guess who was inside it? It's Michael. He's back. Sims, if you get a good line of sight on that bastard... take 'em out. Is that clear?

Viper, we need to find out where hes headed... if spikes cant get a hold on him before he gets inside, we will need to intercept, lets move out guys

Belay that. Michael is a secondary target. First we get the ZPM, then we get him. If we take him out now the Wraith will be aware of our presense. Let's go team.

"i copy that, viper. Damn, i had a bead on him. But i know that would blow our cover. They all seem to be headed into that main building. They don't appear to be aware of you guys at all. I got you on sensor and you are in the clear for the moment."
"We layed down quite a bit of c-4 for diversion/escape if needed. Or just to blow some things up on the way out."
"oh, oh, there's 6 guards headed your way guys, directly for you. So heads up!!"

*Eagle and i sit and watch what is unfolding below us. I have a feeling the wraith will not be blind toward us much longer, given their telepathic abilities.*

Spikes make sure you keep track of micheal, if we can get him, get him.

also, the wraith's telepathic abilities do not allow them to see us cloaked...

*i give a hand signal to Viper and Ares, and we hide around the corner of the guards*

Huh guys... why are we not talking and moving forward. We're "invisible". They can't see or hear us. Look.

*I jump in front of a large Wraith guard making loud noises. I then flip him the "bird". He does nothing.*

See, what did I tell you... nothing. Come on, lets go.

*We begin to move and we arrive at the control building. There is an entire squad outside guarding the building. The door has some kind of special lock that appears can only be activated from the inside.*

Sims... Eagle, you copy? We need that diverson right about now. We can't seem to get in.

(I think - but can they walk right through you or will they hit an invisible wall? If they can walk through you, can't you walk through the door? i am confused on these shields i guess)

"I copy that, viper. Diversion explosion in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

*Most of the hill we were standing on explodes into the air. Thankfully, we placed the c-4 in such a way that we are not injured. Large rocks rain down on the outskirts of the base, killing or injuring many of the wraith that were there.
A second explosion takes out part of the base.
We sit and watch the mess unfolding below us as we high 5 each other on the stellar job we just did
Then we set about the job of sniping wraith*

wow i totally forgot! my bad viper!

Great work Spikes and Eagle beautiful most of them are leaving

*all but one wraith leave and more come around the corner to go towards the hill, where many wraith are looking at the explosion sites while one by one they start getting picked off by Spikes and Eagle, in wonder about what is going on*

Ok, lets move forward, Viper how do we get in, if you need to be inside to...

*right then some wraith guards come out to go towards the hill*

this is our chance! lets go!

*i run forward towards the door*

I begin running up towards the hills just above where our previous position was to be able to get a better vantage point to pick of the incoming Wraith. It seemes that the Wraith have very good responce times as two of thier patrolling groups merged to check out the explostion that just take place before either I or Sims even began to reach our spots to set up our rifles. I looked back over my shoulder as I reached the top to see some orginization among the troops as a commnader began dispaching troops to areas where he figured we might be hiding though they didnt know what was coming.

*blam*

I fired a round into the main wraiths skull and left a hole the size of my fist out of the other end where the exit wound now appeared. The body of the wraith couldnt heal fast enough to recover from a shot like that as it slumped over and hit the floor.

*blam*

Soon after my shot Spikes seemed to hit another in the same general location as the wraith began to look confused and started to look in every direction for snipers.

*blam* *blam*

two more shots fired from out guns as more of the wraith began to fall as back-up group started to head towards the direction of our fire while the remaining sqaud from the origional two groups that merged started rushing the hill side where our shots came from even though our presence was not seen.

I take out my P-90 to maximize the rate of fire and fatalities. As the wraith began closing in I talk communicate with the others of the situation as I stand up and take stance to fire while Spikes continues firing rounds into the patrols coming towards us off in the distance.

many wraith are heading outside to see the explosion and the bloodshead of wraith soldiers slowly being picked off by a mysterious source

This seems a little odd, something must be going on, you four, go into the hills from behind and find out who is doing all this, you two, check all the corridors on the grids, make sure everything is secure!

Great job Sims. We're moving in now. I don't know if radio communication will be possible once we get inside.

*With that said, we head inside the command building. The doors shut just as we enter. Suddenly a squad of Wraith guards come into the room and stand at attention. I make a hand signal to open fire at my fire. I fire at the first Wraith and he goes down. The rest open fire. FPO throws a grenade and several guards fall down. Within seconds the room is empty.*

"thanks, viper.
Eagle, we need to MOVE!! Guards are trying to circle around back of us. Let's GO!!!"

*Eagle and I, still cloaked, run down what's left of the hill and set up in a small stand of trees on the edge of the base.
With the silencer working fantastically, i continue to pick off wraith, hoping the new postition will confuse them further.*

*As the guards near our last position, i set off another round of well-placed c-4. The rest of the hill and the wriath standing on it disappear in the explosion.*

"let's keep moving, Eagle, we can't let them get a fix on us"

Spikes and Eagle are putting on a big fight up there, we should hurry up!

* i run towards the middle of the room where the control station is, i look in amazement at what I see as Viper and Ares stand guard backs to the station*

Viper, there are 3 ZPMs here this is a major operation, cover me, im gonna try to get this out!

*i am clicking furiously on these buttons*

this is all an older dialect of wraith, its too hard to read, this may take a bit, hold on

*i get back to work translating and getting the ZPMs out!*

*wraith start firing blind in our direction. They are way too lucky for me, and a blast takes a bit of skin off my arm as it wizzes by.
I blow a hole in the head of the wraith that just fired that shot.
I turn and see a group of wraith emerge out of the trees right by Eagle.*

"Heads up, Eagle!! Right next to you, MOVE!!!"

*Eagle does a neat somersault away from the wraith, leveling two of them and scattering the others. They still seem unaware of what, exactly, is going on.*

"Eagle, why don't i hold them off while you go get the jumper. I have a feeling we made need to do a pick up of the rest of the team."

*I move zig-zag along the edge of the base and set off a couple more c-4 charges, killing several wraith in the process*

"Yes mamm, I'll go get the jumper prepared right away. Provide some cover fire while running, it looks like im going to have to run past some of the heavily armed troops just deployed in this direction. They seem to be getting all around us but I dont know how thats possible, sadly they must be smarter than they look. Ok, alright im moving out, wish me luck"\

*I rush out of our spot nestled up in the trees and set my sights on puddle jumper and began to think of everyone I cared about on earth as I ran as fast as I could to get to the jumper before any wraith realized it was there.*

* The first squad I encountered while running back was on the main dirt path they seemed to partrol near where we took them out the first time. I decided to take out my silenced M9 pistol and shot a couple of them in the chest to slow them down and so I didnt give away my presence and location. I quickly dashed back to the jumper and turned around just as I got to the entryway. As I caught my breath I decided to pump a few rounds into the oncoming wraith to make sure they didnt come near the jumoer though I knew i needed to constantly switch positions and angles so they couldnt pinpoint where the I or the jumper was located.*

*pressing of buttons*

*Soon I began the operation of the ship and started it up. I looked out to make sure Sims was alright and see if she needed some cover fire as well, though it seemed she was not in sight. This revelation startled me as I began pacing around the puddle jumper tryin to catch sight of Spikes only to come up empty handed. I ran back into the jumper for cover and to get a quick rest hoping to hear something on the radio.*

Alright FPO it's taking a little to long. You may want to move.

*FPO moves and I put a full clip into the ZPM stand. I go over and grab the ZPM's.*

See that wasn't hard. Let's go.

*I throw the ZPM's into a bag and hand them to FPO.*

Listen, I want you to get out of here. Get with Sims and Eagle and get to the Jumper. I'm going to take care of something.

*I walk out of the room with my P90 against my shoulder and on 3 round burst.*

*I hear several bursts of gunfire from the ZPM room. I notice that all the power from the ZPM room has disappeared.*

You there, go find out what that was.

*I continue to work at a control station and try to figure out where the power has gone. Suddenly I feel something behind me. Then I hear, "How have you been Michael?" I look over my shoulder and see a P90 pointing at my head.*

Alright Ares, Viper is going to get something we gotta get these back to the ship!

Spikes meet us at the entrence we are going to jumper, Eagle make sure it is ready at the top of the hill, we will be there in 5...

*we run through the building going through some power failures and some shakings of the building...*

thats a lot of C-4 Spikes, incoming we are headed your way!

*we reach the exit and Spikes is waiting right there*

Spikes! *i stop him and take out a ZPM in the bag to show him* plus we have two more!

*just as Spikes gets really pumped a wraith sniper sees us and shoots the edge of the ZPM i am holding up*

Oh crap! Our cloaks arent working, Viper watch out, we are able to be seen!
Get behind cover!

*Ares, Spikes and I take cover and see an onslaught of wraith coming from down the hill, they suddenly are able to see us!*

look, there is a back way, turn left right behind that power coil, go through that dart dock, plant a few C-4s while you are there and meet Eagle on the other side, im gonna go round up Viper, get there and get redy to pick us up on a roof or something! take the ZPMs, this is gonna be close! GO GO GO!!!!

*as Spikes and Ares takes off with the ZPMs towards the other valley, i radio to Eagle* Eagle change of plans meet Spikes and Ares on the other side of the base, near the valley! they will give you directions from there!

*i put down the radio to see the many wraith coming, i pinpoint that sniper as he rushes inside, gotta find that bastard! i fire a few rounds into the wraith parade and rush inside to find the sniper and Viper!*

*I Zat Michael and kill the sniper. I throw Michael over my shoulder and place one of Bra'tacs bombs underneath a control station. I set it for 10 minutes and exit the room with Michael still over my shoulder. I meet up with FPO and Ares. Suddenly we get attacked from all sides. We take cover. They begin to close.*

Well guys looks like this is the end... *Suddenly a group of Drones fly out and hit in different areas near us. It's Eagle and Simby. They land and we board the jumper. Just as quickly as they landed we were off.*

Thanks guys, we needed the lift. Not bad, we got several ZPM's and a nice going away present.

*I hog tie Michael and sit down.*

On our way home lets stop by the ship we passed by eariler and check it out. Who knows what sort of goodies might be inside.

"Well look who you are bringing home, Viper.

*I keep my weapon on Michael. He's a squirelly sort. *

"Eagle, great flying. I am so glad you are here. I don't know how to fly these things."

*I sit and try to bring my senses back down to normal. Yet i know, with Michael on board, we still need to be very careful*

"Thanks Sims, really the flyin isnt anything much. I had to go through alot of training but it was mandatory and now it feels like second nature. I guess the ancient gene kinda helps though right. Well anyways it seems your more focused on our new little companion here. He has been the one mesin with our operations for some time now hasnt he. This may be the first time if been on active duty on a mission but I've read enough case reports both at the SGC and here to get my blood boiling at the mere mention that he is here let alone now that we have him right here in flesh and blood. If I wasnt flyin this thing I would sure give him a piece of my mind. Oh and what direction was that ship again?"

*Eagle watched over the board of computers managing the systems and functions of the jumper as Spikes took the co-pilot seat all the while keeping focus eyes and weapons trained on Michael.*

"Well everyone atleast our mission ended in success. We got the ZPMs and got ourself a hostage, in the end we rampaged the wraith base and hopefully the main cluster and on top of that we all survived. Nothing on earth could go wrong now!"

"That ship is right on our way - i am still tracking it. But i am thinking, sirs, that maybe we should take Michael back first and then jump back to recon that ship. "
"I just am very leary of this one. I don't mind admitting that i will be glad to hand him over to someone else. The sooner the better!!"

(geez, i hope these guys don't think i am being weak saying this. I just have a funny feeling about this one - i call it women's intuition).I think as i look at our guest.

*Michael gives me his best wraith smile - pure evil. I shudder and hope he didn't notice*

*i take a breather and sit down across from michael, eyes fixed, but also thinking about what happened just then and just trying to relax*

Spikes, i wish we could, but im not sure we have enough time...the ship might be gone by then, michael wont be going anywhere right now...what do you think Viper?

Head for the ship. If we found it easily the Wraith will find it in no time has well. Besides, we could find something useful on that ship. Just engage the cloak and land it the nearest hangerbay.

*I shift my body over to Michael and grin.*

So, what were you planning out here?

*He doesn't answer.*

Alright I guess we have to play it tough here.

*I pull out my Zat from my side and grab a stuffed bunny and point the Zat at the head of the bunny.*

Tell me or he bunny dies.

while Michael looks confusingly at the bunny, i sneak up a-side of him and pop one of POC's balloon critters right in his ear. He jumps, with a look of terror on his face. We all get a good chuckle over that one*

"sorry, viper, i couldn't resist" i stutter through the chuckles.

"that ship is coming up on sensor, sir. Still no life signs. But here's a strange thing. The readings are indicating that there are several types of technologies on board. By that i mean, we have at least an Asgard teleporter and shields. A complete Tok'ra Medical lab, and also, something odd that i think is Tolan. Also, there is an ancient communication device, as well as Goul'd long range communicators. There is even some signatures that i am not familar with.
Very odd mix."

"We have visual now, sirs"

*We look out at the salvage ship, nothing special about it on the outside. Wouldn't even elicit a second look in most cases. But, being our curious selves, we take notice of these things*

*Even Michael looks at the ship with interest. I double my watchfullness. I will not let him get away this time. And i know the rest of the team feels the same.*

"All quiet over there. Still no life signs of any sort. Even checked for Replicators since there is all that different techni-stuff on board. We are cleared to land in the hanger deck. Easy on the landing, please, Eagle."
(hehe - j/k sir)

everyone take it nice and easy, we have no idea what to expect down there... this is unlike anything weve seen...obviously

*we land with a small thump* Ares and I will stay with the ship, Viper, Spikes and Eagle go and check things out, I got my eye on Michael

"the air is breathable. I don't detect any poisonous air."

*We exit the jumper, p-90's at the ready. Nothing striking about the hanger deck. We move toward the middle of the ship. As we round a corner, we enter a large, open chamber. We all stop and look in awe.*

"Wow, Viper, Eagle, i have never seen anything like this, have you?"

*We look around at monitors and equipement that seem to be hybrids of several different types of equipement. What looks like an Asgard communication center has Tok'ra and Ancient aspects to it. As do the various sensors monitoring the ship. And, the "Captian's Chair" looks like an Ancient device similar to the one found in the Artic. There are also several stations and devices that don't seem to be from any known species.*

"I don't know what this ship is, but i bet Carter and her team would love to get a hold of it."

*I start carefully exploring the various stations, and wonder what this ship is for, and , more importantly, why its out here without a crew.*

*As I look in awe of the interior of the ship, my mouth seems to hover in mid air as I never imagined the cooperation that had to take place could ever exist. I had heard some speculations of what the Asgard were up to next and a special project was most certainly amidst as they were always constantly working on something new to prevent the threat of invasion from any lifeform. The thought though that they cohesively worked with other races and species to help create and ultimate hybrid of ship that must have functioned far beyond that of a normal spacecraft of any sort. It seemed the makers didnt have the same flare for exterior decorating though as they did for the inside.*

*After closing my mouth and blinking my eyes again I began to slowly move foward as my body was still in shock of the realization that hit me. The entire base was amazing and required communication and telling of what steps they were going to take to either salvage or report the craft. Repairing was out of the question as it surely took the great minds of each race to come togehter and assemble this machine and we the Tauri were surely not advanced enough to put the thing back online no matter how much we studied and info we gained.*

" Halo and Ares do you have visual because dispite what this thing looks like on the outside it the complete oppisite on the inside. It is amazing even to me. I am going to take a further look inside and see if I cant discover anything usefull. I dont know what lies ahead of me aso ill be carefull even if there isnt any life currently presenting itself on our scans. Im sure the defense mechanisms on this ship would have to be as impecible as whatever weapons surely would be aboard this grand vessel. I can already identify many technologys of races have only been recently discovered by SG-1 over at the SGC. Ill be sure to try to identify and discover as much as I can as I go in further."

*i continue staring a the various stations, and i realize that this just doesn't make sense.*

"Sirs, i am really wondering why this is out here with noone on board. Just doesn't make sense. I am not sure that we should spend too much more time here. Do we have the capability to tow this in with us? Or, Viper, can you fly this thing you think?

*i am a bit on edge. This keeps feeling like a setup or something (not really sure). And, there's Michael - i don't think we should hang on to him with wraith ships not that far away from us.*

"I hope you're right, Eagle, and that this a collaboration of many races, and not the work of a "replicator" type race."

Alright ladies, pick up your jaws and lets move towards the command deck and see if we can't get this big "BUFF" to move. Eagle watch my six, I'm taking point.

*We move into the ship, and head for the command deck. It is eerily quiet.
We reach the command deck and see that its the same here - a conglomeration of different technologies married together. Still, no signs of anyone being on board.*

"i guess this is a drone type ship that somehow has become dead in the water. The autopilot must have disengaged a short time ago. This will be a nice addition to Carter's collection if we can get it back to base."

*We study the various stations. I push a couple of buttons and the lights come up full.*

"So, Viper, think you can fly this bad boy home??"

You kidding? If you could strap a pair of wings on a washing machine I could fly and land that sucker. Now lets see why she's dead in the water.

*Presses several buttons and a holographic projection plays.*

Thats why. The ship is powered by a ZPM. The one that is in place is almost drained completely. It can barely run some of the systems. I'm going back to the jumper to get a ZPM. See if you can get the scanners working. I'll be back soon.

*Eagle and i set about getting the various sensors working. Although unfamiliar, they are similar enough to known technologies to accomplish this task.
When the sensors come back online, we explore the com deck and wait for Viper to return.*

"that was some mission, wasn't it sir. Boy, i am glad we brought all that extra c-4 with us. It will be hard to write this up. Everything happened so fast, i hardly had time to catch my breath. I even think i may have killed a top wraith or two in my madness, hehe"
"And now we have micheal. I can't wait to get him back to base."

"Ya I really enjoyed coming along with all you guys on this mission. I am glad I could help out and show my support. I guess I should concentrate on getting these systems back online now should I. I honestly think that this entire space ship is really amazing in it's entirety and the way it is cohesively put together tells me that it can't just be a imitation of the technology used by the five great races. It seems that the tech used here is truly one of a kind and how it interconnects to be used as one shows the support of many but for some reason I still can't seem to shake this eerie feeling about. I guess I'll just stick to the task at hand. I think we got all the base support functions and everything your going to need to get this thing off ground. The weapons and shield seem to be another problems but hopefully we wont be needed the use of those in the immediate future. If we can get this back to the ASGC then it will be a great victory for us. Why don't you come down here Viper and check this thing out!"

Alright guys I got the ZPM. I'm heading to engineering to hook it up.

*As I walk to engineering I feel as if I'm being followed. I turn quickly to see if anyone is behind me. There is nothing.*

Damn. Eagle check the ships internal sensors for will ya. I'm getting a really bad vib down here. And just so ya know, thats not a good thing. Once you're done meet me down here.

*As Eagle scans the ship for life signs other than ours, i finish getting the main systems online. *

"Viper, All primary internal systems are up. We are nealy done here. How are you doing with that zpm?
We will be heading your way shortly".

*I still have that uneasy feeling that someone else is here. I look around and see nothing other than Eagle hard at work*

"Damn, wish i could shake this feeling of someone watching us. Anything showing on that scan, Eagle?"

*I slowly walk towards the front of the ship to the cargo bay to greet Viper and lead him to the pilots seat. As I get there though I stop and drop to one knee and palm on the ground as a series of sharp pitches pierce through my brain. A strong sense of power presents itself it and aura the begins pulsating outwards. In a few minutes it begins to fade but stays in an eerie presence where the others slightly feel it around them, I get up and start once again walking towards the front to greet Viper.*

"Alright follow me, I'll lead ya to the control room and we can check the sensors there. Everything seemed normal when i checked but I guess it doesn't hurt to check twice. Ya never know with technology in an area like this. Well to tell you the truth I ain't feelin to good about this place and I cant shake this feeling of being watched and judged. It really is a creepy feeling i just can't seem to shake."

*I begin to press the buttons around me as we enter the main control room and the sensors seem to go haywire as everything around us seems to stay online but looses it functionality. A presence looms behind Viper,Sims, and me as we look confused, trying to figure out what is wrong with the systems. I look around my shoulder as the presence draws closer but I don't see anything so I continue on my work until I begin to think on what could truly be happening as it finally dawns on me as what could actually be happening. I look over my shoulder for a second time as a being stands before us all. As I acknowledge its presence it seems to show its true form before us all as we stand back in amazement at the ascended true might.*

*I turn around slowly and see someone standing there in a aura of light.*

"o-m-g", i whisper, as i place a hand on Viper's shoulder*

"Turn around sir, we do, indeed, have company!"

*I stand there shocked as an ascended being is staring at us.*

Uh, hello. My name is Viper24. We mean you know harm. We come from the planet Earth and the city of Atlantis.

*It backs off as if surprized. It begins to move towards a computer monitor and merges with it. The screen comes to life and a human appears on the screen. It begins to speak.*

"My name is Atoo Parsla. I too mean you no harm. In fact I am here to help you in a sense. I was one of the first who ascended. When I ascended I saw a glimse of what was to happen. I felt I had to do something. So I left this ship hidden. The ship was once hidden in an asteroid belt far from here. This ship is for you. It is to help you in your current battles. Somewhere on this ship is a weapon that will turn the tide in your favor. Unfortunatly I can not help you in finding it or the others will stop me. I wish you the best of luck. Goodbye for now."

*With that he leaves.*

Well that was different.

"wow" is all i can manage for a moment.

"viper, did we just see what i think we saw??? Wow again. Big Wow."

*I collect myself in a minute, as what i heard sinks in.*

"Viper, this is awesome. I am so glad i didn't let this one go without mentioning it. I mean, i wouldn't usually make a big deal out of a salvage ship. Wow, again".

*A message of sorts appears on the screen we were all just looking at.*

"Viper, if i am reading this right, we need to go. This ship must have sensors that are super long-range compared to any we have. Those blips, i believe, are wraith darts and a hive ship from that base we just blew the hell out of. They are beginning to head this way. At present, they will not be able to catch up with us if we travel, now!"

*I check my gear by force of habit and get ready to head back to the jumper.*

"Viper, since you and Eagle can handle this bad boy, should i go help halo and Ares? I can be an extra set of eyes on that bastard Michael. I don't want him to get away."

Eagle can handle it. I got to take care of something at the jumper.

*I head down to the jumper and meet up with Ares.*

Go ahead and head up to the command deck, I'll watch over Michael.

*Ares heads out and I sit down with Michael. He just sits there smiling at me. I hear something out side the jumper. I turn my head to see what is out there and Michael does a spear on me. He gets up and runs away.*

Shit. Viper to all team members... Michael is loose. Repeat, Michael is loose. I going after him. Simby head to engineering.

*I walk into a room and a siren goes off. I walk up a pair of stairs and see that Michael is in a Goul'd cargo ship. He looks at me and flips me the bird. He moves out and goes into hyperspace.*

Stand down guys. He's gone. He found a cargoship in another hanger. Let's get out of here before his buddies show up.

"Damn that creep! Damn him!! He is luckier than sg-1.
Viper, i was on my way to engineering. Shall i continue on?"

since when do gould flip the bird to us....damn them!


sorry viper i feel i should have kept a closer eye on him. it wont happen again sir!

but i do have good news, i chased after him, i got one of my tracking beacons to the bottom of his ship, i dont believe he will be able to detect it...i recommend we get these ships back to base and track him from there, then pursue when we have a location.

"awesome, Halo. And, with the long-range sensor on this ship, we may, indeed, be able to track him."
"Those wraith ships are still headed in this general direction. And, they have picked up speed. We need to move out of here or cloak or something, sirs."

*I recheck the sensors. I see Michaels ship plainly as it exits hyperspeed.*

"Wow, guys, if i am reading these right, i just saw Michael's ship exit hyperspeed. This ship is awesome.
Unfortunately, its a bit beyond my expertise ( a HUGE bit). But i can pretty much figure out what ships we are seeing."

*As i watch the screen i think, Damn, i should have shot that creep when i had the chance. I had him right in my sights. And with a silencer on the ol Grizzly, maybe they wouldn't have realized what the hell happened.*

look Spikes, we all feel we could have done something, but dont worry bout it, we will get him, lets just get this ship out of here, before the wraith come back for it!

Eagle come with me, we can take the jumper back, Viper, Spikes and Ares will take this big baby back!

"I know, Halo, i bet we all wish we had just wasted him. But, that won't help get intel. "
"You might as well fly with us, sir. We can probably use the extra eyes and hands. And the jumper is safe with michael gone. I thought maybe we could look over more of the ship, and see what we might be able to decifer. I am hoping we can figure out the shields and get them up and running."

*I make some adjustments on the screen in front of me. It zooms in on the approaching ships - bringing them out in startling clarity.*

"These sensors are so much more detailed that any we have. You can almost see the vapor trail they leave behind."

*I see a ship exit hyper-space close to the wraith ships coming this way. Even though they are a very long way off, it is unnerving.*

"Michael just jumped Hyper-space, sirs, and he is heading toward the hive ship from the base. This is not good. I am going to head to engineering and see if i can get the rest of the systems up if that's ok with you guys."

"By the way, sirs, i hope you don't think i am too bossy. I am only suggesting and trying to do my job as best i can."

Don't worry. What you're telling us isn't an order, it's a segestion.

*I head to the command deck and I sit in the control chair. I select a few screens and notice something coming our way.*

Guys hang tight for a sec. I got something on scanners. I can't get a good lock on it yet but they be here soon.

*Suddenly a beeping sound comes on... a communication is incoming.*

Tec-Ma-Te warriors of the Tau'ri. I have convinced the counsel that we do need to deal with the Wraith threat. I have brought a force of over 100 Motherships, 95 Al'Kesh bombers, and over 350 squadrons of Deathgliders. We plan to make our presense known. Would you like to assist us in the up coming battle?

"Tec-Ma-Te, Master Bra'tac"

*I bow my head briefly and wait for orders, continuing to track the advancing Wraith.*

What do you guys say? Wanna do some damage to the Wraith?

"Is that a retorical question, sir? I say, bring them on!!!!

"Will we be picking up re-inforcements, sir? We will need to get a few more systems up to full power to accomodate."

*I instinctively start checking my equipement, making a mental note of things i will need to replenish.*
