Dr. Stephen’s waited on board the Armistice station. Suddenly for the first time in 40 years, the doors opened to what was normally the cylon side of the conference room. This time however the diplomat coming through was something completely different.

The room was barren, except for a table in the center and two huge blast doors on both sides. Dr. Stephen’s had requested that three chairs to be put on his side of the large wooden table. The opposite side also had three.

The security on the station was tight, as this was the first officail encounter with an alien race the Colonies had where there was no bloodshed. Dr. Stephen’s hoped when the day was through, that the Twelve Colonies would have a friend, or maybe even an ally, outside their own race.

When the doors opened, one man came through, presumably the captain of the Battlestar Coredia. Also with him were the two crewmen he had rescued from the small survey raptor, and seven men in dark robes. Dr. Stephen’s wondered what was their purpose, officially it was for security, but they looked more like some sort of priest.

“Welcome to the Armistice Station”, Dr. Stephen’s stated, as they walked in. This man had seen many years, and had to struggle to get out of his chair.

The two Colonial crewmen, Lt. Baker and Lt. Johnson saluted the aging diplomat as they entered the room.

Dr. Stephens smiled, and asked the two crewmen to sit on his side of the table. Surely their experience with this alien race would prove valuable for any diplomacy to work.

Two men and one woman, actually. And only the man with black hair wore black. The blond-haired man wore orange clothing and an orange (yes, orange!) cloak, while the pink-haired woman wore red clothes and a traditional brown robe.

Captain Holland Novak (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33018501/?qo=28&q=Eureka+Seven+Holland&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5) bowed his head slightly. "Thank you for your hospitality. I am Captain Holland Novak of the Battlestar Coredia, of the Imperial Republic of Coreworlds. These are my companions..."

"Uzumaki Naruto (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41826724/?&q=by%3Asandfreak&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps)." The blonde grinned. (the guy on the left)

"Uchiha Sasuke (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12765494/?qo=1&q=Uchiha+Sasuke&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5)." Sasuke merely nodded.

"and Uchiha-Haruno Sakura (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20589471/?&q=Naruto+Sasuke+Sakura&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5)." The pink-haired woman smiled softly.

"Their names are reversed, so that surnames are first." Captain Holland explained so that there's no mistake.

Dr. Stephens motioned for the two young crewmen to sit.

Dr. Stephens' says "If it is your custom, please feel free to sit down. I have been authorized by the president of the twelve colonies to initiate this diplomatic meeting. Anything said here from me, is as if it were from the coram and the president himself. "

He then continued, " We would first like to thank you for your generous action of releasing our raptor, and for taking such care of our two crewmen. Such an action is quite telling of your character. Might I ask where are you from.", the diplomat stated to the captain.

A courier came into the room, in a colonial officers uniform and gave the diplomat a set of documents, containing the scan of the ship. The diplomat smiled and thanked the young officer. It appears that your ship contains no viruses or bacteria that is harmful to our people." he hands the documents back to the officer who walks out of the room.

Dr. Stephens sits back in his chair comfortably, as the two crewmen do their best not to smile. iIf this meeting is a sucess they thoughtthey could see these aliens again. Both were mindful to keep their thoughts to themselves as best as possible, especially with the jedi in the room, and seeing their demonstration earlier.

The threesome sat down among the conference chairs.

He then continued, " We would first like to thank you for your generous action of releasing our raptor, and for taking such care of our two crewmen. Such an action is quite telling of your character. Might I ask where are you from.", the diplomat stated to the captain.
"Hmm. From here, I'd say our space is about 2500 light years, give or take a hundred." Captain Holland said. "We Coredians love to explore, so it's no surprise that we always seem to find new races and even species."

"That's good." The Captain nodded and warmed to the diplomacy.

Captain Holland thought of the things he would say and thus decided to begin with a big carrot. "I have heard from your soldiers that you think of Earth as a legend, correct?"

Dr Stephens, looked at Captain Holland, "Why yes it is a part of our mythos, that there was a 13th tribe that left Kobal in search of a planet called earth. Why do you ask?"

Lt. Baker then interjects, "Captain Holland sir, did you not say that earth is a hostile and warlike place?"

Dr. Stephens looks at the yound officer for a second, "So Earth is real then I take it, Captain?" " Are you from Earth or a colony of Earth?" the doctor said with a puzzled look on his face.

"If they were, he thought to himself, that would clear up several questions about how he speaks fluent Greek, and why his ship is calleda Battlestar, if not it would probably shock the Colonial worlds to find out their long lost tribe of humans actually did exist. It would be front line news, maybe the story of the century."

"Well, technically, most of our people come from Earth, especially a nation called Japan, but others come from elsewhere in space, like my family. We still keep tabs on the planet and we have a continent of our own called Coredia, where we got the name of our Battlestar from." Holland said. "Earth is rather hostile because it is a hostile galaxy, so if you do wish to go there, it is imperative that you do not antagonize the many space nations. On the other hand, Earth nations do make good friends and good trading partners, not to mention a decent tourist spot, should diplomacy pull through. It is Mars, the fourth planet from Earth's sun, that I would say that is truly antagonist. Even we couldn't get a foothold on the planet and almost got caught in one of the many conflicts. So be nice to Earth, and steer clear of Mars. That's the advice I give you for Earth's system."

"So in a sense you are our long lost cousins then.", Dr. Stephens stated. That is very interesting. How is it that you speak our language so fluently", he asks. Dr. Stephens continues, " With being apart for so long, one would assume that you would have had a language 'drift' so to speak."

Lt. Johnson states, "They have a translator on board with many forms of communication."

Dr. Stephens, " What a handy invention." Will from what our scriptures say the 13th tribe of Kobal left for earth, after the other 12 tribes to settle our worlds. Do you have any idea why the 13th tribe decided to go the other way, or has the knowledge of Kobal's existance faded into legend?"

Although Dr. Stephens never believed in the scriptures, he found this new history lesson quite fasinating. He thought, " This will definetly be news to the coram. Those damn geminon, saggetarians and picis will have no problem accepting any treaty now, that these people claim some heritige to earth, since they will think that Earth's existance will be evidence of their gods."

"I don't have any idea why, and before now, I've never heard of Kobol." Captain Holland said. "We have encountered peoples with technology beyond our own, so if I had to guess, it'd be one of the Elder Races, perhaps your Gods, seeding worlds with humanity for some reason or other. But that's just a theory."

OOC: Nitpick: isn't it Quorom?

(((OOC: You are right it is Quorum. )))
Dr. Stephens looks down for a second and takes off his glasses. "This is all a very interesting story, as many people in the Colonies would love to hear it. Perhaps there will be time later, as he wipes the sweat off his brow."

"Let us talk about what we wish to accomplish here." he puts his glasses back on his face. "I would like at a minimum to establish a friendship and open dialogue with your civilization. One that shares mutual interests to both parties, and at best an alliance, if it is prudent."

----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile deep in space, a basestar picks up the radio transmission's that came from the station about a hour ago.

Number 8, "A battlestar linking up with the armistice station. Looks like those colonials are attempting to arm it, in case we ever decide to have diplomatic ties with them."

Number 3 Responds, "This is something we can not allow. They could be trying to modify it to scan deep into our space."

Number 5, "This is totally unacceptable. We must act. Immediately."

Number 1, “We have two basestars within jumping range, I suggest we act."

They all agree.

Moments later at the Armistice Station, two cylon basestars jump into range, their unique star structure easily identifies them from the colonial designs. They begin to fire missiles (in all 36)at the unknown battlestar, the armistice station and the colonial ship. The two basestars lock onto all of the targets and begin a nuclear missile barrage of the area.

800 cylon raiders begin to depart the docking stations outside the basestars, heading on a intercept course with the docked ships.

A red beam comes out of the fighters, as they attempt to use their many various viruses on the unknown Battlestar.

------------------------------------------------------------

On Board the Armistice station:

Three marines come into the room, Sargent Michaels, leading them. "Sir", he says two cylon baseships have jumped into the system and we have detected weapons release. We have four battlestars preparing to be here in the next minute or so. We need to get out of here." They grab the old man and rush out of the room.

Lt. Baker and Lt. Johnson get up from the table and say, " We need to get you out of here," to Captain Holland and the three Jedi, as they begin to lead you to your ship.

shameless bump (((OOC: I saw on The Constantine Space station thread that your ships are under attack. If you want to, my fleets can come to aid yours. Just let me know I have been trying to think of a reason to join that thread, and this may give me that very reason)))

"That would be a good start. For now, I would like to have a diplomatic exchange and possibly a trade agreement." Captain Holland said.

Then the Shinobi felt a disturbance in the Force...

The alarms suddenly howled when the Cylons entered the area.

"Woz, I'm detecting two kilometer-long craft, appears to be star shaped!" Gidget, who also handles sensors, reported.

"What? On screen!" Woz, the second in command ordered. Indeed, the Cylons Basestars were there, and they started firing missiles at the Battlestar. "Shields up!"

The first few missiles hit the hull of the Battlestar, scoring minor hits on it. The rest of the missiles suddenly exploded on a bluish energy field a few meters from the hull. A powerful shield was erected!

A second alarm then went on. Woz was unhappy. "Now what?"

"Nukes, sir! Just picked up heavy radioactivity from the next volley, aiming for the station! Damn it! They're launching fighters! Hundreds of them!"

"Lay down suppressive fire! Get us out of this dock!" Woz ordered.

"What about the Captain and Team Seven?" Another bridge member asked.

"They'll get on this ship one way or another." Woz replied confidently.

As dozens of scarlet-red laser bolts and yellowish railcannons peppered the sky, raining death and destruction upon the Cylon Raiders, A-wings, X-wings and drone fighters roared out of the twin hangar bays to fight the Raiders. The initial dogfight told them something: Raiders are fast and maneuverable, matching A-wings and drones, but they certainly don't have any shields, making them easy prey to the laser cannons and overkill to the proton torpedoes the fighters carry. On the other side of the coins, the shields of the fighters knocked away the enemy's railguns, but even they can be overwhelmed in time...

The Battlestar Coredia broke away from the Docking Bay and then literally turned on a dime to face the enemy, using its powerful shields and point-defense cannons to bat away the conventional and nuclear missiles alike, as well as those Raiders who came close to the station.

"Ready firing solution for the turbolaser cannons!" Woz ordered.

"Got it!" The Tactical Officer, Lieutenant Ken-Goh, replied almost immediately.

Woz then smiled. "Fire."

Then the main cannons unleashed massive green-blue bolts of plasma-based energy upon the Cylon basestars...

A red beam comes out of the fighters, as they attempt to use their many various viruses on the unknown Battlestar
"Hm. What's this?" The Chief noted viruses trying to enter the Battlestar's system. So far, they're stopped by the firewall. "Dammit!"

The viruses were fairly complex, but the Chief retaliated with his powerful antivirus software, giving the impression of a horde of knights in shining armor charging and defeating demonic enemies. In fact, that image was shown onscreen as a battle out of an epic holovid called Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

"A hacking attempt." The Electronic Warfare officer, Jobs, noted.

"Any breaches?" Woz asked, concerned.

"Not at this time. The Chief's taking care of it."

"Ah. Good work, Chief." Woz nodded.

"No prob!" The Chief replied, then sneezed. "Excuse me while I take some cough medicine!"

What a riot. Woz chuckled and shook his head.

The Jedi Shinobi knew a technique that would get them to the ship faster, but that one shall remain a secret, hopefully. As soon as they got to the dock, however, that hope was forlorn, since Woz has already ordered the Battlestar to removed itself from the station. The station shook from impacts, but the thick hull surely protected it.

"What are we going to do?" Naruto moaned. "The ship just undocked!"

Captain Holland was looking at his datapad, watching the battle unfold as data was downloaded live to said pad, and then he smiled. "This shouldn't take long. The Coredia's just unleashed its main turbolaser cannons. From what I see, these enemies don't have any shields."

"So this will be over quick." Sakura nodded confidently.

"In that case, popcorn?" Naruto asked, grinning. For some odd reason, there was a bag of popcorn in his hands.

"No thanks." Sakura shook her head. He always likes to do that.

"I'll pass." Sasuke replied. Sheesh. Once a prankster, always a prankster, even with pocket dimensions.

"Your loss." Naruto shrugged and ate some popcorn. He really wished for some ramen, but popcorn will do for now.

OOC: Nah, don't worry about the battle. We people already there can deal with those mercenaries.

Fluidic Space
The nanite probes had delivered their message an hour ago. All of the ships personnel were now awake, and diagnostics had been completed. All equipment was functioning properly. The commander walked looked at the holoscreen, and read the stats. Only his ship, and one battleship were ready to go, the rest were still performing checks. He was quite disappointed in his fleet’s readiness. He had already chewed out all of the fleets commanding officers, and wasn’t very in a good mood.

He walked on to the bridge bellowing orders to the subordinates. “It’s time to go, inform Gal Xeck to follow us into realspace, the rest of the fleet can follow when they are ready. Inform the rest of the fleet they better be there within the hour, or I’ll have their hides.”

“Aye, Aye, sir,” responded the Comm officer has to touch the screen on the ships wall.

Realspace – approx. 1 Lightyear from Armistice Station

A bright flash of light momentarily flicked in the distance, then lightening appeared to strike nothing in space. As this dissipated, a strange rift formed in the fabric of space, fluid poured out and vaporized as it entered the cold vacuum. Gradually, the rift grew in size eventually reaching five kilometers in length.

Sliding from the rift was a huge monstrosity looking like an enormous whale. Once it left the rift the object was almost 5 km in left, and 1 km tall. It moved slowly, away from the rift. Then another smaller object emerged. Both objects appeared to swim through space.

The rift slowly begins to close with flashes of lightening around the edges as in shrinks in size.

“Where are we,” demanded the larger objects commander.

“Scanning,” replied the object in the commander’s mind.

“Analyzing,” was the verbal respond an officer.

“I wish you wouldn’t do that, you know that only certain officers can hear you.”

“When you get to be my age, you start to take certain privileges,” replied the vessel with a smug attitude.

“Sir we are detecting some kind of weapons fire about 1 lightyear port.”

“Between who,” bellowed the commander

“Unknown, sir. They are not any of our ships, they’re metallic.”

“Tell the rest of the fleet they have five minutes now, and inform them of the situation. Scan the unidentified ships and hail them.”

Unidentified vessels, this is Dak Jorl Cratos, of the Taron vessel Oceanus. You are attacking within the Protectorate of the Taron Agreement. We request that you stand down.

“Defenses raised,” Oceanus stated.

Cratos concentrated for a fleeting moment. Artemis head into combat, if they don’t stop combat. You are faster than Oceanus. Xeck, we don’t know what we are up against stay safe, and use any measures necessary to protect yourself. Oceanus, issue orders to scramble the Raptors, and prepare the Pterods for launch.

As ordered, sir, was the simultaneous psychic responses.

“Defenses raised, raptors launching, and Pterods are ready,” Oceanus stated.

A short, but polite reply was sent to the Ladenea ships:

Our apologies, but for now, we have been attacked by those that call themselves the Cylons and must defend ourselves. You may join if you wish, but we believe this battle will be over quickly and don't recommend help at this time.

About four clicks from the Armistice Station:

Four Mercury Class Battlestars jump into the scene. The Battlestars Pegasus, Atlantia, Hercules, and Hades. As they jumped into the battle, they could not believe what their draidus was telling them.

Admiral Cain, " Launch all of the vipers, take on the two base stars immediatly."

The XO of Pegasus replies, "Admiral Sir, the Battlestar Coredia seems to be holding them off."

Admiral Cain states, "For how long, send this command to all ships, target at will, blow those toasters back to hell."

The four battlestars begin to launch their vipers. Out of the tubes came 320 Mark VII vipers. THey lined up in a wall formation, and flew into the battle at full speed.

The four Mercury Class battlestars began to unleash a massive barrage of cannon fire. It looked like a wall of fire coming from all of the battlestars.

Lt. Jacobs on board the pegasus, "Admiral, nukes incoming into the station, their armor can not hold up to such a barrage."

Admiral cain responds, "All ships target the nukes and use the flak cannons."

The XO of Pegasus responds, "Sir we wil lbe hitting the armistice station as well."

Admiral Cain, " Their armor should hold up to flak cannons, but nukes will kill them, follow my orders or be relieved."

XO, "Yes Sir. Fire"

The flak fire gets intothe engagement zone as the first nukes hit. The blastwave sends shockwaves through the Armistice station, damaging it's structure, but not to the critical point. The rest of the incoming nukes begin to be destroyed farther off as the engagement zone spreads.

After the inital shockwave, the flak cannons bouncing off the station sound like a heavy rain, but does little damage to the station.

On Board the Armistice Station:

The Lt. Baker and Lt. Johnson thought they had seen everything, until one of the jedi knights grabbed popcorn out of thin air. They stared in complete disbelief.

"Is there anything they can not do?" Lt. Johnson asked.

Lt. Baker smiled, "Yes obviously they can not get you to shut up."

Suddenly a blinding light engulfs the room. A nuclear warhead detonated near the station. The station shook for as econd sending the two crewman flying into the wall, and then crashing on the floor. Lt. Baker was unconscious, and Lt. Johnson had blood dripping from his forehead but was at least awake.

--------------------------------------------------------------

On Board the Basestars

Number 1. "Will this is new, isn't it."

Number 3, "How did the colonies amass such a new technologies, and why did they not usethis ship three weeks ago when we attacked their colonies."

Number 6, "That does not matter we should withdrawl."

Number 1, "Why would we do that , we will resserect as well as our ships. I vote we should stay here and see what they can do.

They vote and it comes down to 6 to 1 vote to stay.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the battle:

With your sensors you are detecting with every cylon raider destroyed, a signal coming from the fighters and basestars.

Your main laser cannons easily sliced through the basestars thin armor. Your lasers tear the basestars hull to pieces like a hot knife through butter. Two of the top points, were completely ripped off. The Raiders dispite having no shields, are having a different result. Their heavier armor makes them harder to kill, but your fighters are killing quite a few. Until they started a new tactic. The Raiders broke off from the main engagement zone and began to chase down torpedoes and missles. with their tracking and heavy cannons, they begin to shoot down the incoming missles to the basestars.

The Second basestar which is focused on the unknown battlestar begins to take hits on it's armor and hull. The hull begins to shatter by tons of heavy cannon fire from the four battlestars.

Lt. Thrace, Cag of the Pegasus Vipers signals the Battlestar Coredia's fighters, "Welcome to the party, you picked a hell of a day to visit. "

They begin to aid you in shooting down the raiders. Their manuverability is roughly the same as the raiders, maybe even more agile, but like the raiders they have no shielding.

Meanwhile the cylon virus begins to try to mutate and adapt to your firewalls and programs. It seems to be adapting every time Chief begins to kill it.

After about 10 minutes both basestars are completly destroyed, and all of their remaining Raiders jump out of the system.

You notice on your long range sensors a strangely shaped ship that did not engage. In a second it jumps away.

--------------------------------------------------------------

After the Battle:

The four battlestars begin to lauch their raptors, searching for any shot down pilots. 20 raptors begin with their spot lights on searching the area.

The Pegasus begins to send a transmission to the Battlestar Coredia

This is Pegasus Actual to the Battlestar Coredia, Do you have any casualties, or injured? Do you require any kind of assitance? We would like to coordinate a search and rescue if any of your pilots were shot down.

“Defenses raised,” Oceanus stated.

Cratos concentrated for a fleeting moment. Artemis head into combat, if they don’t stop combat. You are faster than Oceanus. Xeck, we don’t know what we are up against stay safe, and use any measures necessary to protect yourself. Oceanus, issue orders to scramble the Raptors, and prepare the Pterods for launch.

As ordered, sir, was the simultaneous psychic responses.

“Defenses raised, raptors launching, and Pterods are ready,” Oceanus stated.

"The XO watching the battle from the CIC on Pegasus looked on the Draidus screen, and saw an additional unknown ship come into space."

"Admiral Sir," he responded , "We have an unidentified ship signaling us and asking why we are fighting within the Taron Agreement."

Admiral Cain, "My gods, signal the Battlestar Coredia and ask them if they know who these people are."

The Xo replies, Yes sir. The transmission begins.

This is Pegasus actual to the Battlestar Coredia. Are these new intruders part of your fleet, or do you know who they are? Please respond.

Admiral Cain then tells the communication officer, patch me through to the unknown ship.

This is Admiral Cain of the Colonial Fleet to the ship under the command of Dak Jorl Cratos. Stand down, you have entered Colonial Space. Do not engage or we will be forced to fire on you. We do not wish to start a conflict with you. Recall your fighters or we will take that as a hostile action. If you recall your fighters, since we are on a diplomatic mission, we will see that as a sign of friendship. We will talk to you at the current conference that was underway, as soon as these aggressors are dispatched.

-The Battlestar Pegasus, Colonial Fleet, Caprica (((OOC: She is so diplomatic :) )))

Admiral Cain, " Keep an eye on them, if they enter the engagement zone , or look like they are about to fire, shoot them out of the sky.

"Yes sir."

About four clicks from the Armistice Station:

Four Mercury Class Battlestars jump into the scene. The Battlestars Pegasus, Atlantia, Hercules, and Hades. As they jumped into the battle, they could not believe what their draidus was telling them.

Admiral Cain, " Launch all of the vipers, take on the two base stars immediately."

The XO of Pegasus replies, "Admiral Sir, the Battlestar Coredia seems to be holding them off."

Admiral Cain states, "For how long, send this command to all ships, target at will, blow those toasters back to hell."

The four battlestars begin to launch their vipers. Out of the tubes came 320 Mark VII vipers. They lined up in a wall formation, and flew into the battle at full speed.

The four Mercury Class battlestars began to unleash a massive barrage of cannon fire. It looked like a wall of fire coming from all of the battlestars.

Lt. Jacobs on board the Pegasus, "Admiral, nukes incoming into the station, their armor can not hold up to such a barrage."

Admiral Cain responds, "All ships target the nukes and use the flak cannons."

The XO of Pegasus responds, "Sir we will be hitting the armistice station as well."

Admiral Cain, " Their armor should hold up to flak cannons, but nukes will kill them, follow my orders or be relieved."

XO, "Yes Sir. Fire"

The flak fire gets into the engagement zone as the first nukes hit. The blast wave sends shockwaves through the Armistice station, damaging it's structure, but not to the critical point. The rest of the incoming nukes begin to be destroyed farther off as the engagement zone spreads.

After the initial shockwave, the flak cannons bouncing off the station sound like a heavy rain, but does little damage to the station.
"These people fight well." Commander Woz nodded in approval. "Give them a shield and laser cannons and they'll be a match for any force we know."

"Including us?" A soldier had the gall to ask.

Woz decided his musings were enough. "Get back to work!"

"Yessir!"


On Board the Armistice Station:

The Lt. Baker and Lt. Johnson thought they had seen everything, until one of the Jedi knights grabbed popcorn out of thin air. They stared in complete disbelief.

"Is there anything they can not do?" Lt. Johnson asked.

Lt. Baker smiled, "Yes obviously they can not get you to shut up."

Suddenly a blinding light engulfs the room. A nuclear warhead detonated near the station. The station shook for a second sending the two crewman flying into the wall, and then crashing on the floor. Lt. Baker was unconscious, and Lt. Johnson had blood dripping from his forehead but was at least awake.
"Hey, what are you looking at me for?" Naruto said to the officers irritably.

Then the nuke hit a little too close and the popcorn burst into flames. The Jedi were knocked off their feet but aside from a few bruises, unharmed. Captain Holland himself had a broken arm from his fall and winced noticeably.

"Waah! My popcorn!" Naruto cried as his popcorn turned to ash.

"Naruto, shut up!" Sakura bopped him on the head, then immediately saw the two soldiers were injured. Falling back on her medical training, she immediately checked for Lt. Baker's pulse and breathing, then pulled a first aid kit from her own dimensional pocket to treat Lt. Baker's wounds before treating Lt. Johnson, placing a bacta patch on his head to stop the bleeding. "I need a medic, stat!"

After treating the two soldiers, Sakura put Holland's arm in a tourniquet to stabilize the arm until they get to the ship's medical bay. SHe stayed with all three military men until the medics could come.

Sasuke did what he could, but mostly stayed out of Sakura's way.

--------------------------------------------------------------

On Board the Basestars

Number 1. "Well this is new, isn't it."

Number 3, "How did the colonies amass such a new technologies, and why did they not use this ship three weeks ago when we attacked their colonies."

Number 6, "That does not matter we should withdrawal."

Number 1, "Why would we do that , we will resurrect as well as our ships. I vote we should stay here and see what they can do.

They vote and it comes down to 6 to 1 vote to stay.

--------------------------------------------------------------
In the battle:

With your sensors you are detecting with every cylon raider destroyed, a signal coming from the fighters and basestars.
"That's strange." Gidget mused. "Signals are coming from the enemy fighters every time they are destroyed. Same is coming from the Basestars."

"Can we jam it?"

"I'll try!" Gidget ordered Jobs to initiate jamming upon the Cylon signals, although they're still wondering what could it mean.

Your main laser cannons easily sliced through the basestars thin armor. Your lasers tear the basestars hull to pieces like a hot knife through butter. Two of the top points, were completely ripped off. The Raiders dispite having no shields, are having a different result. Their heavier armor makes them harder to kill, but your fighters are killing quite a few. Until they started a new tactic. The Raiders broke off from the main engagement zone and began to chase down torpedoes and missiles. with their tracking and heavy cannons, they begin to shoot down the incoming missiles to the basestars.
"Keep up the attacks! Don't let those fighters fool you!" The wing commander of the fighters, an old friend of Emperor Masaki named Sheridan, ordered. Though two pilots were killed in the fighting and one went EVA, the Coredian pilots racked up an impressive number of kills. Now if only someone would tell them what these things are called!

The Second basestar which is focused on the unknown battlestar begins to take hits on it's armor and hull. The hull begins to shatter by tons of heavy cannon fire from the four battlestars.
"The second enemy carrier is taking heavy fire." Ken-Goh announced.

"Until it dies, don't slack off." Woz ordered.

"As ordered." The Lt. nodded.

The Coredian Battlestar combined its railcannon and turbolaser firepower with the other four Battlestars to ensure that the Basestar died...

Lt. Thrace, CAG of the Pegasus Vipers signals the Battlestar Coredia's fighters, "Welcome to the party, you picked a hell of a day to visit. "
"You got that right!" One of the pilots, a young man named Kohaku callsign Sickle, replied with a grin.

They begin to aid you in shooting down the raiders. Their manuverability is roughly the same as the raiders, maybe even more agile, but like the raiders they have no shielding.
"Glad to have them on our side." Kohaku commented. His astromech droid beeped affirmatively in reply.

Meanwhile the cylon virus begins to try to mutate and adapt to your firewalls and programs. It seems to be adapting every time Chief begins to kill it.
"Oh ho! It's a dance!" The Chief laughed as the viruses mutated to try and adapt to his defenses. But alas, the Chief counterattacked with equally quick antiviruses, effectively preventing entry into the ship computers with an impressive use of professional cyber fencing.

After all, he's the Ship's AI. No stupid toaster would undercut his turf!

After about 10 minutes both basestars are completely destroyed, and all of their remaining Raiders jump out of the system.

You notice on your long range sensors a strangely shaped ship that did not engage. In a second it jumps away.
Cheers went up from the crew as the Basestars were destroyed and the Raiders fled.

"Sir, there's a ship that didn't engage and just jumped away. Should we pursue?"

"No. It's probably nothing. Re-dock with the station and ask if they need assistance." Woz ordered.

Armistice Station, this is Coredia. Do you need medical and/or damage control assistance?

--------------------------------------------------------------

After the Battle:

The four battlestars begin to launch their raptors, searching for any shot down pilots. 20 raptors begin with their spot lights on searching the area.

The Pegasus begins to send a transmission to the Battlestar Coredia

This is Pegasus Actual to the Battlestar Coredia, Do you have any casualties, or injured? Do you require any kind of assistance? We would like to coordinate a search and rescue if any of your pilots were shot down.

(((OOC: Please forgive any typos or lack of detail, I have had a long day today. I will edit them out tomorrow :) )))
"Pegasus, thank you for the offer, but we do not have any casualties on our ship, only minor injuries. By all means, assist us with SAR. We believe several of our fighters have been shot down."

OOC: I fixed the typos in the quotes above for ya.

This is Pegasus Actual to the Battlestar Coredia. Are these new intruders part of your fleet, or do you know who they are? Please respond.
"No, Pegasus. They are newcomers to us as well. It seems they think this place is their space. We'll help you keep an eye on them."

As wounds were healed and the friendship between Coredians and Colonials begins to grow, some questions remain for the Coredian side. Like what the names of the Cylon ships were called, and what that mysterious ship that didn't fight was up to. On the other hand, the Cylons, by attacking the Coredian ships, has just dragged the Imperial Republic of Coreworlds into the conflict between the Cylons and the Colonials, and not in a good way either. Certainly it was a mistake to be aggressive to such a powerful nation!

OOC: I assume the Battlestar Atlantia hasn’t reported back yet. No the Atlantia is actually here, since they helped me out earlier, they would at least know who we are…. Although, its not like my ships have a clue who you are anyway as they haven’t had contact with high command in an extremely long time.

The Taron vessels are approaching and watch the two forces handle the attacking vessels with ease.

“They fight well,” Cratos thought to himself.

This is Admiral Cain of the Colonial Fleet to the ship under the command of Dak Jorl Cratos. Stand down, you have entered Colonial Space. Do not engage or we will be forced to fire on you. We do not wish to start a conflict with you. Recall your fighters or we will take that as a hostile action.

“Open a channel,” he ordered as he turned to the Tek manning communications.

Your terms are expectable. Artemis hold position! Taron fighters, return to the Oceanus and move into defensive patrols around the carrier.

The Artemis stops moving immediately upon receiving the message, and all fighters turn around and head back toward the carrier.

The Oceanus moves up behind the Artemis and holds position.

Behind the Taron Vessels
Sparks begin to fly, like lightening striking the ground, as a new rift is torn in the fabric of space. Fluid gushes out of the rift and vaporizes in the vacuum of space.

As the rift forms several new vessels of similar design, ranging in size from 100m to about 1500m emerge, bringing the total “unknown” vessels to ten.

Onboard the Oceanus
“They’re late,” complained Cratos, “Find out what took them so long and tell them form up and not to launch fighters, these people have shown no aggression. We would like to attempt diplomatic relations.”

“Scans complete sir.”

“Good, give me the details.”

“Well, those ships that were destroyed had no life signs, but when one was destroyed they transmitted some message. The other vessels, the ones around the station, are...well, are human, sir.”

“Human? Then it is true, they succeeded? Wow. Contact high command, immediately," he pauses, "I believe, that was supposed to be located at Tiamat Station, until the government is running again. We need to more information. And how long were we in slumber.”

There are a few minutes of pause, then an officer answers, “Sir, based on these star charts, and accounting for the movement of stars, 1.4 billion years.”

“Well, then the children have taken over, and the scientists succeeded. We definitely need to wait for orders from Tiamat. Hail the those ships.”

This is Cratos, Dak Jorl of the Taron Fleet Sigma Phi and commander of the Oceanus. My apologies for being so forward earlier, it has been an extremely long time since I have been in realspace, and did not realize how much has changed. If you require medical and engineering assistance please let us know.

(((OOC: The Atlantia is here, and her commander does know who you are, but when your communication was transmitted my forces were in the middle of the battle. The commander of the Atlantia was not going to step on the flag officer's toes in the middle of a battle. Also most of your encounter was classified by the President of the Colonies as such the other battlestars will not recognize you. )))

"These people fight well." Commander Woz nodded in approval. "Give them a shield and laser cannons and they'll be a match for any force we know."

"Including us?" A soldier had the gall to ask.

Woz decided his musings were enough. "Get back to work!"

"Hey, what are you looking at me for?" Naruto said to the officers irritably.

Lt. Baker stated to become conscious again, but was suffering from shock. She was completely incoherent. Lt. Johnson on the other hand, began to stand up, “Thank you sir, he responded but I am ok.” “What the hell happened?”

“Cordia this is Pegasus, I have ordered all of my ships in the area to send out their rescue raptors. We have In total so far 10 of your pilots. Can you tell us how many of your polots were shot down, or give us your transmitter codes so that we can identify which are your pilots to help speed up the recovery process.”

The raptors fly around the open space, in numbers that look like a swarm. Their lights are shining in every direction, and the communication traffic in the area begins to get mottled, as so many Raptors try to communicate with downed pilots.




"No, Pegasus. They are newcomers to us as well. It seems they think this place is their space. We'll help you keep an eye on them."

“Admiral Sir”, the XO of Pegasus stated,” the unknown ship jsut recieved reinforcements. They are now numbering ten in total.”

“My gods”, she stated, this frakking day gets better and better.” Recall BSG 27 here immediately. Yes Sir.

Transmission sent to colonial space

This is the Battlestar Pegasus calling Colonial Fleet. Another unknown fleet has shown up in the space of the armistice station after a cylon attack. I require BSG 27, command authorization **********

45 seconds later, in the backdrop of space nine bright flashes occur. Nine new battlestars, five destroyers, and four more mercury class appear in space. Bringing the total number of Colonial Ships up to 13.


Sir we are receiving a transmission from the Atlantia, secure channel. Put it though, Admiral Cain orders.

“Admiral sir, the Commander of the Atlantia says, we have seen a similar vessel once. They were friendly towards us, and gave us material now classified, and sent to the Ministry of Defense. Although they look strange they were harmless enough.”


“If they are harmless, why have they launched fighters then commander.” Admiral Cain says in a sarcastic question. Stand at condition one.” “Yes sir, the commander of the Atlantia says.”

The Battlestar fleet begins to take a defensive formation around the armistice station, the fighters are begin reloaded and refueled.

“Admiral Cain,” Lt. Joseph states we are receiving a transmission. “Sir he responded, they are withdrawing their fighters. This is Cratos, Dak Jorl of the Taron Fleet Sigma Phi and commander of the Oceanus. My apologies for being so forward earlier, it has been an extremely long time since I have been in realspace, and did not realize how much has changed. If you require medical and engineering assistance please let us know.

“The Commander of the Atlantia seems correct sir, the XO of Pegasus said to Admiral Cain.”

“I do not want any surprises, we have had to many of them today. Patch me through to the Taron fleet.

The XO replies, " Sir if the Atlantia is correct being at condition one could make them assume that we are hostile. May I suggest Sir that we go to condition two."

Admiral Cain stares at the draidus screen, watching the fighters withdraw. "Ok fine, set condition two throughout the fleet."

We would like to thank you for your offer, but we have already picked up most of the survivors. Please state your intentions here.

No communications come from the Armistice station, as it’s communication relay was been knocked offline. Further scans reveal it's structure is not sound, and it's many of the armor plates have been blown off. No casualites though on board the station however. Life support is functional, and there are only minor injures on board

Lt. Baker stated to become conscious again, but was suffering from shock. She was completely incoherent. Lt. Johnson on the other hand, began to stand up, “Thank you sir, he responded but I am ok.” “What the hell happened?”
Sakura was busy treating Lt. Baker for shock.

"I think a nuke just got too close for comfort." Naruto said, irritated that the enemy had killed his popcorn.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The attempts to jam the signal failed. It was a strange transmission, one that your forces had never seen before, on a unusual carrier wave. The transmissions were all going to the strange ship that never engaged.
"Jamming ineffective. It seems it's a an unknown carrier wave. Most unusual." Jobs mused.

"Cataloge that carrier wave, and see if you can find a frequency that matches it." Woz replied. I have a feeling it's important to these foes...

"Right."

"You know, I wonder if it's time to add our own forces." Woz mused.

As the three Jedi recovered themselves from the fight, the questions were asked as the Captain recieved a status report from the Battlestar Coredia.

"So these enemies were the Cylons." The Captain said, then turned to Lt. Johnson. "What do you call the capital ships and the fighters? Also, I noticed they tried to hack into our ship's systems. Fortunately, the Chief was able to match their hacking abilities. He more than proved himself in his first cyberwarfare duel."

Sakura was busy treating Lt. Baker for shock.

The Coredia gave them the transmitter codes. There were 12 pilots shot down, and five of them were injured. Another five pilots would be sent home in coffins.

"You know, I wonder if it's time to add our own forces." Woz mused.

The Pegasus responds, “It is understandable that you would wish to increase your forces. You have permission to do so. You fought bravely with us, and for that we offer our thanks. We have rescued 10 of the 12 missing pilots that you mentioned. We are detecting the other two and are on ourway to pick them up, stand by." "Would you like for us to take your pilots to your ship?"




"Increased activity from the Colonial fleet. They're trigger-happy, sir." Gidget said.

Fortunately, the Chief was able to match their hacking abilities. He more than proved himself in his first cyberwarfare duel."

Lt. Johnson said, “Yes sir, those were the cylons. Their main ships they call basestars, and their fighters are called raiders. They also have a ship designed to crash into your hull and then launch troops inside your ship. Those are bigger and more heavily armored than the raiders. We call them heavy raiders.

Lt. Johnson continued, “Yes sir, they try to use electronic sabotage to gain the upper hand. However if they come back they will be more prepared. Those frakking toasters can not die, they always resurrect, and come back with more experience. Even their ships resurrect. They were caught off guard this time sir. Next time they will be more prepared, especially with all the information they gathered.”

Lt. Johnson wipes the blood off his forehead, “Do you see why we hate robots now sir."

The Pegasus responds, “It is understandable that you would wish to increase your forces. You have permission to do so. You fought bravely with us, and for that we offer our thanks. We have rescued 10 of the 12 missing pilots that you mentioned. We are detecting the other two and are on ourway to pick them up, stand by." "Would you like for us to take your pilots to your ship?"
"Yes, that will be beneficial." Commander Woz answered. "And your welcome, it is our goal to help our friends, new or old."

A message was sent to the Defender to rendzevous with the Armistice Station. The acknowledgement was bounced back and then the ships, now concluding their assessment over at the several-nation meeting, entered hyperspace at top speed, meaning they will arrive in ten to fifteen minutes.

Lt. Johnson said, “Yes sir, those were the cylons. Their main ships they call basestars, and their fighters are called raiders. They also have a ship designed to crash into your hull and then launch troops inside your ship. Those are bigger and more heavily armored than the raiders. We call them heavy raiders.

Lt. Johnson wipes the blood off his forehead, “Do you see why we hate robots now sir."
"I can see why." Holland nodded. A foe like this is troublesome if they can download themselves to another ship...wait a minute...

"Lieutenant. At the end of the battle, the Coredia detected a ship that didn't participate, but fled before we could attempt to do something about it. Would this be the ship that the Cylons would download their losses to?"

Lt. Johnson replies "Did it look like a skeleton frame with no weapons on board? If it did then yes that was probably their resurrection ship. The only real way to kill them is to kill that. Unless you are near their homeworld then they do not need one at all. They are a fanatical race of machines, but I must warn you they have humanoid versions as well, ones that to the internal organs appear to be human. The only way you can tell the difference is by one gene in their entire genetic code."

On Board the Colonial Fleet, the Fleet doctor begins to take a look at the pilot's that were rescued. Take the injured down to sickbay at once, he orders. He walks over to the Cordia Pilots, and begins to ask them general questions about their health to make certain they are ok. Once the doctor is satisfied he sends the 5 uninjured pilots and the dead of Cordia in a single raptor to their battlestar.

Battlestar Cordia, this is raptor one with your unijured pilots, and the bodies of those we could not save. We would like to land in your hanger bay, to return your pilots to you. Please respond with landing protocols.

"Hmm. Interesting. Most interesting." Captain Holland said, typing some more stuff into his datapad. It appears he's creating a report to be beamed back to Coredian HQ at Konoha.

Battlestar Cordia, this is raptor one with your unijured pilots, and the bodies of those we could not save. We would like to land in your hanger bay, to return your pilots to you. Please respond with landing protocols.
"Thank you. Please follow the landing transponders." The CAG (I haven't given that guy a name yet) said.

The transponders began blinking and arrows began to show the Raptor where to land, that being the open hangar under cover of one of the nacelles, just foreward of the engines. In other words, if you approach from the engines, you'll see the landing strip.

The Small raptor begins to land in the hanger deck. When they are onboard the new crew in this raptor is shocked by the similarites between their ship and the Coreworld's ship. They put the thought to the back of their mind, as they open the doors. Ok, people, Lt. Frances states, lets get these bodies off this boat, so they may be given a proper funeral. Four Colonial Marines begin to lift the bodies of the Coreworld's personal onto the deck of their hanger deck.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On Board the armistice station:

Lt. Johnson asks, "What is that you are writing, sir?"

Lt. Baker begins to come to, and asks, "What the frak happened?" she touches the back of her head, and finds her hair soaked with blood. Her hands begin to shake at the sight of her wounds. She tries to stand up, but can not find the strength, and ends up falling down again.

"Nice to see you are with us Baker." Lt. Johnson says as he offers his hand to hers. She grabs Johnson's hand and asks again, "What happened?"

Lt. Johnson smiles and says, "The same thing that always happens when you drink a shot of ambrosia."

Lt. Baker thought to herself, "Why is it I am always stuck with the villiage idiot."

------------------------------------------------------------------

On Board the Pegasus in CIC,

Admiral Cain, "What are the Taron ships doing?" "They appear to be doing nothing sir," Lt. Jacobs states. Maybe they never got our signal."

Admiral Cain orders Lt. Jacobs to repeat the transmission.

Taron Vessels, this is the Battlestar Pegasus. Please respond. What is your purpose and intention in Colonial space. We hear you met the Battlestar Atlantia earlier.

A few minutes later a new draidus contact emerges.

Lt. Jacob, Admiral new Draidus contact bearing 120.

Admiral Cain, " Who are they"

Lt. Jacobs," Sir they have Coreworld transponder, they appear to be the Coreworld ship."

Admiral Cain, "Patch me through to them."

To the Coreworld ship, this is the Battlestar Pegasus. We are pleased to make your acquaintance.

We would like to thank you for your offer, but we have already picked up most of the survivors. Please state your intentions here.

On Board Oceanus

Cratos frowns, “These people are a bit on edge aren’t they. Let us hope we can diffuse this situation before we all regret it.”

We are from the Taron Guardian Force. Please forgive our intrusion. We have been in indisposed for some time. We controlled this space a very long time again, and see that much has changed since to became preoccupied. We have recently become available, and seek to learn more about your people, and provide any aid necessary. Diplomatic relations would be acceptable…

The signal remains open but appears to be just dead air.

“Sir, we have identified their language, it is Vasghoulian, well, mostly, there might be a few words we will confuse,” informs a Nurel, “but they are still very similar, understanding should be relatively easy.”

“I could have told you that a long time ago,” responds Oceanus.

“Interesting,” remarks Cratos, “Why didn’t you inform us of this sooner, Oceanus?”

“I didn’t think it was important, the matrix was translating it fine, I thought nothing of it,”

“It was quite important, I speak the language quite well, we had no need of the matrix. Let me continue.”

This time speaking in relatively clear Greek, though there might be something you misunderstand.
…Our scans detect that your station is not structurally sound. If you would like we can dispatch a repair team to begin repairing the damage. Also, may I send a diplomatic courier with a small fighter escort to discuss diplomacy?

“Open a secure, encrypted channel to Apollo.”

“Aye, sir.”

On board the Pegasus

"Admiral Sir, they wish to send a diplomat to the station to meet with us. They also offer repair crews to repair the station." Lt. Jacobs stated.

Admiral Cain steped back and stared at the draidus screen. She paused for a moment, thinking of every possible solution and outcome. She looked at the young communications officer and said, "Reply with this message."


Tauron Vessel, this is the Battlestar Pegasus. We would like to thank you for your offer, and we will gladly accept. Please dispatch repair crews to docking bay one. We will also meet with your diplomat, as soon as we can figure out a place to meet, as our original meeting place was damaged.

The XO stated, "Sir, forgive me but is it a good idea to allow an alien race on the armistice station?"

Admiral Cain responded, "I do not see why not, we will not be using our materials to repair it, there is nothing onboard that is classified. That station is over 40 years old. Besides we might also get to see some of their technology."

The Xo responds, "Yes sir, I understand."

Sir Commander Wilkins of the Atlantia is signalling us. "Patch it through to me directly." Admiral Cain stated.

Admiral, might I accompany any diplomatic proceedings with the Taron. I was on board when we first met them under the Command of Admiral Tigh. I believe my limited experience will be of aid to the colonial fleet. After all our ship did pick one of them up and dropped him off in a astroid belt to wake his peopel up, or so he claimed."

"Why did you not tell me this before commander." Admiral Cain responds.

"Need to know basis sir, until now you did not need to know." Commander Wilkins responds.

"Is there anything else I need to know Commander?" Admiral Cain states very annoyed.

"No sir" Commander Wilkins responds.

Admiral Cain responds, "Ok commander you have clearance, dock with the Armistice station immediatly. Send the transmission to the Taron Vessels.


We have a command officer on board the Atlantia that has met your people before, the one who woke you up he says. Will you accept him in the meeting?

"Contact the Coreworld's immediately and let them know of the situation. Make sure that they do not object and if they do, then let Dr. Stephens know to make sure his pacemaker is tuned up. He will have a lot of walking to do. " Admiral Cain says.

Lt. Jacobs "Aye Sir."


This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the Battlestar Cordia. The people calling themselves the Taron have asked to send a diplomatic Convoy to the Armistice Station. Our diplomatic decks are still sound, although other areas appear to be very damaged. Would you be interested in meeting with them at the station. If not we would like to discuss a new place to continue the meeting.

---------------------------------------------------------

On Board the Armistice station, Dr. Stephens the Colonial Diplomat, begins to look at the damage reports.

He tells the Armistice station personal, "The conference room and the decks surrounding it appear to be in the best shape, please notify the Coreworld's ships that we will resume diplomacy in the conference room, and at those decks. Unless of course they wish to hold the conference in another area.

Sir. Master Sargent Smiles said, " Looks like we have more company. They are not cylons. The Raptor outside is flashing with morse code that they wish to hold a diplomatic meeting with us."

Dr. Stephens looks at the window, "Signal the raptor that they may come on board."

Master Sargent Smiles, responds, "Is that wise sir we know nothing about these new aliens."

Dr. Stephens replies sharply, "I have the authority of the President and the Quorum of Twelve. I say it is ok, so it is." "I have had enough fighting for one day, let anyone on board who wishes to talk peace, friendship and trade"

The Small raptor begins to land in the hanger deck. When they are onboard the new crew in this raptor is shocked by the similarites between their ship and the Coreworld's ship. They put the thought to the back of their mind, as they open the doors. Ok, people, Lt. Frances states, lets get these bodies off this boat, so they may be given a proper funeral. Four Colonial Marines begin to lift the bodies of the Coreworld's personal onto the deck of their hanger deck.
The flight deck crew thanked the Colonials several times for the retrieval of the bodies and will begin funeral proceedings as soon as possible.

On Board the armistice station:

Lt. Johnson asks, "What is that you are writing, sir?"
"Oh, just a report to send back home. Our Jedi Archives always wants more civilizations to catalog." Captain Holland said. "Greedy buggers..."

Lt. Baker begins to come to, and asks, "What the frak happened?" she touches the back of her head, and finds her hair soaked with blood. Her hands begin to shake at the sight of her wounds. She tries to stand up, but can not find the strength, and ends up falling down again.

Lt. Johnson smiles and says, "The same thing that always happens when you drink a shot of ambrosia."

Lt. Baker thought to herself, "Why is it I am always stuck with the villiage idiot."
"Are you all right?" Sakura asked.

A few minutes later a new draidus contact emerges.

Lt. Jacob, Admiral new Draidus contact bearing 120.

Admiral Cain, " Who are they"

Lt. Jacobs," Sir they have Coreworld transponder, they appear to be the Coreworld ship."

Admiral Cain, "Patch me through to them."
14 ships emerged, bearing the IFF signals of the Coredian Interstellar Defense Force. The lead ship was smaller than Battlestar, but packs concentrated firepower on a wedge-shaped kilometer-long ship. Her name is Defender, also the first of the Defender-class Star Destroyer (http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/thumb/e/e2/NebulaSD.jpg/800px-NebulaSD.jpg). Another notable ship is the Shinobi-class Battleship (http://www.wcnews.com/shots/movie/full/danfx13.jpg), Arashi, named after a great leader. A third ship had the name of Valkyre, the first of the Valkyrie-class Heavy Frigates (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/Coredia/valkyrie.jpg). There are also two Katana-class medium destroyers (http://stargate-sg1-solutions.com/imagesblog/daedalus.jpg), two Nova-class Cruisers (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/Coredia/Nova2.jpg), two Strike Cruisers (http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/StrikeCruiser1a.gif), and four Wolfpacks (one corvette, four gunships each; A wolfpack counts as one ship even though they're not).

To the Coreworld ship, this is the Battlestar Pegasus. We are pleased to make your acquaintance.

"Thank you Pegasus. This is Defender. And for the record, we are Coredians. Please remember that."

Coredians are touchy when people don't say their names right.

This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the Battlestar Coredia. The people calling themselves the Taron have asked to send a diplomatic Convoy to the armistice station. Our diplomatic decks are still sound. Would you be interested in meeting with them at the station. If not we would like to discuss a new place to continue the meeting.

Reply:
"We have no problems with meeting these Taron. Our Captain can resume the diplomacy."

On Board the Armistice station, Dr. Stephens the Colonial Diplomat, begins to look at the damage reports.

He tells the Armistice station personal, "The conference room and the decks surrounding it appear to be in the best shape, please notify the Coreworld's ships that we will resume diplomacy in the conference room, and at those decks.

When the ships were notified, Captain Holland was sent the message. "All right. It seems we can resume the diplomacy. My arm can wait."

"All right." Sakura said. The four delegates from Coreworlds headed back to the conference room.

The flight deck crew thanked the Colonials several times for the retrieval of the bodies and will begin funeral proceedings as soon as possible.


"Oh, just a report to send back home. Our Jedi Archives always wants more civilizations to catalog." Captain Holland said. "Greedy buggers..."

“I can understand that. You need to have an accurate record of what has transpired here, especially if you ever see those mother frakking toasters. Forgive my language sir” Lt. Johnson stated.


"Are you all right?" Sakura asked.

“Yes sir, Lt Baker stated, nothing a night at the bar will not fix, she smiles.”






"We have no problems with meeting these Taron. Our Captain can resume the diplomacy."


When the ships were notified, Captain Holland was sent the message. "All right. It seems we can resume the diplomacy. My arm can wait."

"All right." Sakura said. The four delegates from Coreworlds headed back to the conference room.

The two wounded crewmen begin to walk back into the conference room with the Coredians.



On board the Pegasus, the last rescue raptor lands. The Pegasus begins to transmit a message to the Coredian ships

We have five of your pilots in our sickbay, they are in critical condition. We are giving them the best care possible. Our doctor says it will be about one week before they can be moved. We did not mean any offense, for future reference we will call you Coredians. Thank you for the clarification

Then the Pegasus begins to transmit a message to the Taron Fleet

This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the Taron Fleet. Please land your diplomatic party at Docking bay two. Please also register any security detail you will have.

Admiral Cain stares at the draidus screen. 15 Coredian ships, 10 Taron Ships, and our 13 battlestars. Gods, I hope that diplomat knows what he is doing, I do not want to get in any kind of shooting match if he screws up.

The XO replies, “Sir, that is the truth” “Should I send a signal to bring in a few extra battlestars?”

Admiral Cain, “Not yet, the way everything is going right now, we will be ok. The Coredians appear to be on our side, and if Commander Wilkins is correct then we also should not have to fear the Tarons. Maintain condition two however.”

The XO replies, “Aye sir.”

Oceanus

Tauron Vessel, this is the Battlestar Pegasus. We would like to thank you for your offer, and we will gladly accept. Please dispatch repair crews to docking bay one. We will also meet with your diplomat, as soon as we can figure out a place to meet, as our original meeting place was damaged.

“Good, finally some friendly progress,” Cratos smiles, “How many nano-probes do you think would be necessary to make repairs to that station?”

“Twenty,” is the mental message left by the ship.

“Given the age, I would say that some of these damage, has been there a while, but three, should repair the damage done by the last attack.”

“Ok, then, inform Lachesis Gamma to launch three nano-probes….Wait no, inform them to sent a three man crew to repair the ship. They can carry the nanites onboard and more affectively monitor their progress more easily and open a channel to the Colonial vessel.”

We are sending one shuttle with 3 crewmen to help with repairs and 2 fighters as an escort and guard. Please direct them to the correct docking bay.

Lachesis Gamma

Gal Te’Vil received the Jorl’s (Admiral) mental orders and was surprised. "I can’t believe we are going to do this, but I support there are benefits to helping these people. Get Sith Tarol Pa’thel up here on the double.”

He takes a datastick, and opens it up. The image appears on the screen, and he begins typing on it. When he is done, he closes it, and pressed a button on the end. “Bromen Quinton!” there is a beep from the stick.

“Reporting as ordered, sir,” exclaims an elf entering the command level.

“Pa’Thel, you are assigned to take a shuttle to the alien station, and help repair it. You have permission to take ten probes of nanites, and monitor their progress from the station. Also give these orders to Quinton.” Te’Vil hands him the datastick.

Pa’Thel looks and the datastick, notices the yellow light on the top. “Sir, why are you assigning a classified order to a Bromen, and not me? I should be kept in the loop on what my men are doing.”

“Not in this case, plausible deniability. Its important in this case, just give that to Quinton before you are on the station. Understood?”

“Yes sir”

Pa’Thel headed straight to the docking bay. Bromen Quinton and George in tow. They boarded their repair shuttle and disembarked for the station.

As they left, two raptor fighters came along side. The fighters were a masterful design, Pa’Thel always wanted to design a fighter craft, but never had the opportunity. He admired the Saurial design of these. They looked like they were long and sleek vessels at least 25m long and 5m wide, these fighter strongly resembled the Raptors that piloted them. He thought of their movement through space as quite elegant, as they were folded back under the body and tail swayed back and forth. They moved like an alligator swimming through a river upstream.

Slowly, the shuttle and its fighter escort approached the station, heading for one of the docking bays of the station.

OOC: How large are the docking bays? Are they able to hold 3 25m vessls?

“I can understand that. You need to have an accurate record of what has transpired here, especially if you ever see those mother frakking toasters. Forgive my language sir” Lt. Johnson stated.
"Don't worry about it." The Captain waved off the language.



“Yes sir, Lt Baker stated, nothing a night at the bar will not fix, she smiles.”
"Good, although I suggest you check into a medical bay in case of concussion." Sakura said with a smile.

Commander Woz himself answered. "That will be fine. Just give us periodic updates on our men and women every twelve hours."

This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the Taron Fleet. Please land your diplomatic party at Docking bay two. Please also register any security detail you will have.

Jorl Narcissus received the message in his quarters on board the Oceanus.

This is Admiral Narcissus of the Taron Diplomatic Core, I will only require one guard. We shall be departing shortly aboard one of our raptors.

Narcissus immediately headed to the flight deck, where he met with his pilot and guard. They boarded the raptor and headed straight for the station, as quickly as the fighter would take them.

Taron Ship's we acknowledge your security detail and repair crews. Unfortunately this station was only meant to have two ships dock at one time so both ships will have to use the same docking station. The airlock doors should be sufficient to hold one of your vessels at a time, but you will need to undock one ship to dock another.

Upon entering the conference room, you will notice three long tables, in a triangular formation. Dr. Stephen's, Lt. Baker, Lt. Johnson and Commander Wilkins, are all sitting. As you enter the room ,the three Colonial Officers stand, the two lt.'s salute.

Dr. Stephens says, "Welcome back to the Coredian representitives."

As the Taron Representitives walk into the room, they also receive the same treatment, except Dr. Stephens says Welcome to the armistice station. Please everyone sit, if it is your custom to do so.

"Hopefully we will not be interrupted again," Dr. Stephens says in a half joking manner.

"Let us discuss the matters at hand. "What do your people's wish to have happen here?", Dr. Stephens asks the room at large?" " The Colonial Government wishes to have a lasting peace between our people, as well as a mutual friendship."

"The High Council also wishes a lasting peace and mutual friendship between our peoples." Sasuke said. "On the whole, we propose an exchange of embassies, as well as a trade agreement. If at all possible, an opening of our respective markets, stock and otherwise, would be most beneficial. Knowing your dislike for artifical intelligences; if that should pull through, our businesses will be instructed not to employ their droids in dealing with yours."

Armistice Station Conference Room

“Let us discuss the matters at hand. What do your people's wish to have happen here,” Dr. Stephens asks the room at large. “The Colonial Government wishes to have a lasting peace between our people, as well as a mutual friendship."

Narcissus is an amazingly beautiful young man with shoulder length blonde hair. His burgundy uniform appears to be well pressed. His appearance is extremely well groomed and he carries himself with authority and confidence. He smiles and leans forward, “The people of the Taron Agreement seek peace and friendship as well, but most importantly, we desire information about your people. Such things as a detailed history, mythology, or religious beliefs would be most beneficial.”

Repair Crew

The crew of the shuttle piloted their ship around the station a couple of times, scanning the damage, and evaluating what would be necessary to repair. Quinton examined his personal orders, and gathered the equipment he would need. Finally, it turned to head toward the docking bay, but realized that it was currently occupied. Pa’Thel hailed the Pegasus.

Sith Toral Pa’Thel of the Taron Repair Shuttle One, I see that the docking bay is occupied by our Diplomatic fighter. I request permission to magnetize the hull of our shuttle and attach to the station. We will be able to board from there, and perform the required repairs with ease.

He turned to the Bromen and said, finish gathering the gear, and prepare to board the station.

"The High Council also wishes a lasting peace and mutual friendship between our peoples." Sasuke said. "On the whole, we propose an exchange of embassies, as well as a trade agreement. If at all possible, an opening of our respective markets, stock and otherwise, would be most beneficial. Knowing your dislike for artifical intelligences; if that should pull through, our businesses will be instructed not to employ their droids in dealing with yours."

That would be ideal, Dr. Stephens says. What kind of trade would you like to commence. Military, Civilian, Medical, or all of the above. As for an embassy I am certain that may be arranged. We can construct an embassy on Caprica, our capitol planet. Of course any trade that we have to commence with will have to go through military inspection points, but this should not be a problem.

“Of course, and if we may ask might we get a detailed history of your civilizations as well. It will help to advance any kind of understanding with your culture. “ Dr. Stephens says.

Dr. Stephens pushes a button on the desk, “Sargent please bring us two copies of our history and the Sacred Scrolls.”

Moments later a Marine walks into the conference room with two copies, one for each of your civilizations. He places them on the desk and salutes.

(((OOC: I am going to cheat a bit here, instead of writing down a lot of stuff, I will just link you to the web pages. Ignore the part of the Fall of the Colonies though, as in this version we were able to beat back the cylon forces. Coreworlds after reading the history it would be understandable if your Jedi thought that the gods were some form of force user.)))

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/History_of_the_Twelve_Colonies

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Sacred_Scrolls

Dr. Stephen’s replies, “Who do you wish to be your embassador.” “I would also like to add that according to Colonial Law any embassy, is legally the land of the Government in question. As such on your land you will be able to have your artificial intelligence, but not outside as we have strict laws against AI. "What kind of diplomatic laws do your governments have?" Dr. Stephens asks.

Commander Wilkins, “As an alternate solution we can also create a joint built space station in neutral space for trading purposes as well” Commander Wilkins adds, "it would also be ideal if we were allowed to have a copy of your star maps, and a translator. (((OOC: I know you gave me one Ladenea, but that is top secret and no one in this room knows about it.))) Also if we could have access to your databanks on alien cultures and life, that would aid us in knowing who will be hostile and friendly. That could save many lives."

Commander Wilkins adds " I also know that the Ministry of Defense would greatly appreciate any kind of defensive systems that your governments would allow us to have. I am certain that a exchange of technologies might prove to be mutually beneficial."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On board the Pegasus

“Admiral Sir,” Lt. Joseph states, we are receiving a transmission from the Taron Repair vessel asking if they may magnetically link to the station, and from there they can enter.

Admiral Cain says, “There is no door there, how do they plan on entering.”

Lt. Joseph, “I have no idea, maybe they will cut there way in and repair it when they leave, or maybe they have an alternate way inside.”

Admiral Cain, “Maybe they do, it is worth the chance to find out”

This is Pegasus, you have permission to magnetically seal to the station.

"That would be ideal," Dr. Stephens says. "What kind of trade would you like to commence. Military, Civilian, Medical, or all of the above. As for an embassy I am certain that may be arranged. We can construct an embassy on Caprica, our capitol planet. Of course any trade that we have to commence with will have to go through military inspection points, but this should not be a problem."
"Certainly. Our merchant ships go through similar checks to prevent smuggling." Captain Holland nodded. "I have watched your FTL systems in action, plus that of the Cylons, and I have to say, our research and development people have been looking for a way to fold space and create a tactical faster-than-light engine, and this tech of yours will go a long way towards creating our own. In exchange, and with authorization from higher ups, I offer our hyperdrive and shield technology. Shields that could protect your Battlestars, your Raptors and Vipers," He winked at the two soldiers who got caught by a Solari laser cannon. "And even your planets from orbitial bombardment."

"As for civilian trade, that will be up to the individual companies and the stock market, but of course, everything but our droid techology can be bought and sold."

“Of course, and if we may ask might we get a detailed history of your civilizations as well. It will help to advance any kind of understanding with your culture. “ Dr. Stephens says.
"Certainly we can do it, but I warn you, it's a long history." Captain Holland said. He turned to his datapad and saved his document. Then he pulled up History of the Galactic Republic. "Hmm. A summary of the history of the Republic would do...followed by Coredian history in the last three hundred years."

With that, the shipboard computers started printing out two copies of a large document of the Galactic Republic's history. It would take some time, but all of it would be given to the Colonials and Ladenea as well.

OOC: If you wiki or google the history of the Galactic Republic of Star Wars, you'll see my history. In short, it was born 25,000 years ago and went through numerous changes. The history of the Jedi Order was equally long, with many sad points. You'll learn of the Sith and how they were once Jedi, but broke to choose power over knowledge. You'll hear stories of the rise and fall of heroes as varied as Ulic-Quel-Droma and Revan, the Heart of the Force. You'll feel like you're facing villians as powerful and dangerous as Exar Kun, Darth Nihilus, Darth Bane, and Palpatine.

Coredian history is equally complex. The Republic sent a colony ship that got caught in a wormhole and deposited near the planet of Earth. Finding Earth, the colony ship landed on a crescent-shaped continent that was to be named Coredia. The inhabitants were 17th-century humans (and elves and sentient dragons, among other humanoid species) and at first, the colonists were thought of gods, especially after the displays of power by the Jedi, but that was debunked quickly.

Time passed and a particular family of Jedi rose to power in the late 20th Century, the Masakis. The first Masaki to gain power was a man named Yosho, a wise and kind ruler who was President when World War II raged (although the Coredians formally stayed out of the way, there was no lack of volunteers from us!). He lived out his term in peace, and doted on his family. Unfortunately, when a boy named Tenchi Masaki, the grandson of the first Masaki ruler, was growing up, corruption gripped the higher echelons of power and Tenchi, as a young Senator at 16 (age is no barrier to politics in Coreworlds), uncovered an attempt by the sitting President to turn the nation into an imperialistic dictatorship, and with the Coredian FBI and the Jedi by his side, forced the President to abdicate after a short fight. Two years later, Tenchi was elected President, and several crisis consumed his administration. First was the illegal coup (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=304295) of Yosho's former apprentice Hamdo, who framed Tenchi for a murder he didn't commit and threw him into a slave camp. Secured in power, Hamdo declared himself Emperor and started a campaign to rule the Earth, starting with weak nations. Tenchi eventually escaped and met up with a rebel fleet and gathered a coalition of allies, including the nation of Konohagekure (it was a nation that bordered Coredia back then) to beat the Emperor (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=305428). Tenchi himself dueled the Emperor after Hamdo killed Yosho and defeated him, restoring good and order to the nation.

The second crisis was a Demon invasion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=314465) shortly after Coredia rebuilt its space program, building on the colony ship that crashed two hundred years prior. The invasion was beaten back as well, but it showed Coredians that it needed more land than it had. So the Star Destroyer Chimera, a Coredian ISD, run by the then-young Captain Pellaeon, searched for a space Coredians could call home. The good news: it was in Republic space. The bad news: the Republic was turned into the Galactic Empire and back into the New Republic. The good news: a number of empty systems were found and millions of colonists left home to build a new and powerful space nation. The bad news: the Yuuzhan Vong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuuzhan_Vong) attacked.

By the time the Yuuzhan Vong attacked, Coreworlds as the space nation was now called, has gone through several changes. The office of President was changed to Emperor under edict by Alex Masaki, Tenchi's son. Although it was controversial, Tenchi created a High Council to keep the Emperor in check and though Alex and Tenchi argued many times of politics, the change was mostly recieved well by the populace. After the Vong were defeated, Alex and his consort Katherina mysteriously disappeared, leaving a ten year old son Andrew as an orphan. The boy grew up under the wise teachings of Tenchi and as Emperor, he expanded Coredian holdings to include four main systems and ten minor ones, as well as a multitude of pre-space civilizations.

Andrew and Jennifer's own son, Daniel Masaki, who rules as Emperor today, had the most severe challenges of his life. From his early days (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=359538&highlight=adventures+of+Daniel+Masaki) at the Jedi Academy, he has suffered far more than any Masaki has suffered before, but also rose to the challenges he faced with greater courage and honor than any previous leader. The following stories are currently in the Jedi Archives and could be looked up at any time with a simple request to the Coredians:

The documents were placed in shiny boxes and sent to the Conference room by an aide.

Dr. Stephens pushes a button on the desk, “Sargent please bring us two copies of our history and the Sacred Scrolls."

Moments later a Marine walks into the conference room with two copies, one for each of your civilizations. He places them on the desk and salutes.

(((OOC: I am going to cheat a bit here, instead of writing down a lot of stuff, I will just link you to the web pages. Ignore the part of the Fall of the Colonies though, as in this version we were able to beat back the cylon forces. Coreworlds after reading the history it would be understandable if your Jedi thought that the gods were some form of force user.)))

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/History_of_the_Twelve_Colonies

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Sacred_Scrolls
The Jedi read through the Sacred Scrolls and many of the Gods' actions appear to be similar to Force Users, although the fact that these are Greek Gods lends credulance to a different theory, especially with mention of the Lords of Kobol:

Ancients.

Not that the Coredians would say anything on that subject, but they were once people who ascended to a higher plane of existence and seeded galaxies with their genetic code, giving rise to the Human Race that now populates over a dozen different galaxies by Coredian reckoning, each faction with wildly different technologies and cultures. The Ancients have left their mark on the galaxies, with items such as the Stargate Network as a sign of their passing.

The history of the Twelve Colonies seem to reinforce that theory. It seems that the timeline coincides with the timeline from Draconis Nightcrawlis, a Coredian ally, on the issue of a spacefaring race called the Goa'uld. Nevertheless, it's another comprehensive history to be added to the Jedi Archives.

Dr. Stephen’s replies, “Who do you wish to be your ambassador? I would also like to add that according to Colonial Law any embassy, is legally the land of the Government in question. As such on your land you will be able to have your artificial intelligence, but not outside as we have strict laws against AI. "What kind of diplomatic laws do your governments have?" Dr. Stephens asks.
"We hae similar laws that respect the sovereignity of embassies. In fact, it appears to be international in scope to have diplomats have immunity." Captain Holland said. "Once an agreement has been reached, we will send for a diplomat to come from our Diplomatic Corps, and he or she will be the one to set up the embassy here."

Commander Wilkins, “As an alternate solution we can also create a joint built space station in neutral space for trading purposes as well” Commander Wilkins adds, "it would also be ideal if we were allowed to have a copy of your star maps, and a translator. (((OOC: I know you gave me one Ladenea, but that is top secret and no one in this room knows about it.))) Also if we could have access to your databanks on alien cultures and life, that would aid us in knowing who will be hostile and friendly. That could save many lives."
"A Trade Station would be a good way to start. In the meantime, I will grant your request of the starmaps, our universal translator technology, and our database on various cultures...." Captain Holland pulled up a list of cultures on his datapad and printed out a short list on two pieces of flimsiplast, followed by the Coredian Starmap and all known locations of the following nations. "Here is a short list. More detail will be sent to you as necessary."

Balrogga: Empire. (Mostly) Friendly. Handle with Care.
Chronosia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Chronosia): Hostile imperialistic monarchy-theocracy. Stay Far Away.
Draconis Nightcrawlis: Monarchy. Ally. Diplomatic relations recommended.
Dragon Kingdom of Issus: Monarchy. Ally. Space overlaps Coredian space. Diplomatic Relations recommended.
Doomingsland: Hostile empire. Ally of Galactic Empire. Stay away.
Evil Woody Thoughts: Republic. Ally. Diplomatic relations recommended.
The ESUS (http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=display_region/region=the_esus): Alliance of space nations. Neutral/Hostile. Handle with care.
Galactic Empire: Hostile imperialistic monarchy. Ally of Chronosia. Tendency to subjucate nations it 'allys' with. Stay far away.
Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (GFFA) (http://s14.invisionfree.com/Galactic_Federation/index.php?): Alliance containing Coreworlds and friendly nations. Diplomatic relations recommended.
Gaian Ascendancy: (elusive) Republic. Friendly. Diplomatic relations recommended.
Humankind Abh: Monarchy, slightly imperialistic. Ally. Diplomatic relations recommended.
Godular: Anarchist Union. Ally. Handle with Care.
Huntaer: Hostile Empire. Stay away.
Huntarian Alliance: Friendly Republic. Civil War with Huntaer. Diplomatic relations recommended.
Konohagekure (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura come from there): Constitutional Monarchy. Ally. Space overlaps Coredian space. Diplomatic Relations recommended.
Sunagakure: Constitutional Monarchy. Ally. Space overlaps Draconis Nightcrawlis space. Diplomatic Relations recommended.
Solarin League: Aggressive Imperialistic Dominion. Hostile. Stay Away.
The Fedral Union: Neutral. Diplomatic relations possible.
The Wick: Neutral. Diplomatic relations possible.

There's more, but that's a good start as far as the Coredians are concerned. For the record, Coreworlds itself is considered a Constitutional Monarchy, with friendly relations with just about everyone who's not hostile. It is slightly imperialistic, but hardly to the extent of its enemies.

" "I have watched your FTL systems in action, plus that of the Cylons, and I have to say, our research and development people have been looking for a way to fold space and create a tactical faster-than-light engine, and this tech of yours will go a long way towards creating our own. In exchange, and with authorization from higher ups, I offer our hyperdrive and shield technology. Shields that could protect your Battlestars, your Raptors and Vipers," He winked at the two soldiers who got caught by a Solari laser cannon. "And even your planets from orbitial bombardment."

"Your shield technology would be greatly appreciated, Commander Wilkins stated. Could we possibly exchange your Hyperdrive technology however with your armor technology. I was very impressed they way your ship barely took damage with your shields down", he continues. In exchange we can give you the technical details for out "Jump" drive. Commander Wilkins then added, we will even throw in our thruster knowledge, for your holographic technology. Our Thrusters make our battlestars a little less maneuverable than the strangly Y-shaped fighter that you had."

Commander Wilkins was wondering why they would desire out 'jump'drives. Even the civilian ships use them, they were far from top secret. No matter he thought, the shield systems and new armor platings should be good enough to defend against the cylon or any other aggressor in the galaxy.

(((OOC: I just want to make sure these are star war's shields not star trek type. I do not want to have two supply ship's following me into battle to replace every panel when the shields hit space dust :) )))


"Certainly we can do it, but I warn you, it's a long history." Captain Holland said. He turned to his datapad and saved his document. Then he pulled up History of the Galactic Republic. "Hmm. A summary of the history of the Republic would do...followed by Coredian history in the last three hundred years."

With that, the shipboard computers started printing out two copies of a large document of the Galactic Republic's history. It would take some time, but all of it would be given to the Colonials and Ladenea as well.


The documents were placed in shiny boxes and sent to the Conference room by an aide.

"We thank you", Dr. Stephens added. "It will take some time for us to go over this history. We hope that you will be patient with us."

(((OOC Nice, BSG meets Star Wars meets Stargate. This is begining to get very interesting :) )))

Dr. Stephens took off his glasses and rubs his eyes for a minute. He then puts his glasses back on looking very tired. "I think we can come to an easy agreement for the placement of the embassy." "We can place yours outside Caprica City, on our central planet in the solar system." (((OOC: My worlds are in the same solar system, which is quite a vast one, similiar to the one in Firefly/Serenity)))

Lt. Baker and Johnson look over the star maps and cultural references. "These are great Lt. Baker says, but I am noticing the SOlari are not on this list. What is the deal with that race, besides they are overprotective, and like to fire on unarmed ships?"

There's more, but that's a good start as far as the Coredians are concerned. For the record, Coreworlds itself is considered a Constitutional Monarchy, with friendly relations with just about everyone who's not hostile.


Commander Wilkins studies the new star maps, and looks at the current star maps of the Twelve Colonies. He places his finger at a point in open space that is not near any specific planetary body mass.

"Would this be an exceptable place to begin a jointly build space station? He asks." Commander Wilkins then adds, "With a jointly built station, I purpose that we split the station three ways each integrating our unique weapons and defense capabilities, with more room for any future contacts with other races."

The Twelve Colonies are a Oligarchy with direct elections of the Presidency. The Quorum of Twelve elects the Vice President as well as cabinet officials. As you can tell we are suspicious of the unknown races, but can be won over, and are eager to make friends, when of course our trust is gained.

"Your shield technology would be greatly appreciated, Commander Wilkins stated. Could we possibly exchange your Hyperdrive technology however with your armor technology. I was very impressed they way your ship barely took damage with your shields down", he continues. In exchange we can give you the technical details for out "Jump" drive.

OOC: Lol. They are indeed Star Wars shields.

IC:
"Hmm. So you want shield and armor technology? In exchange, you would give us your jump drive technology?" Holland asked. Hmm. That's pretty strategic.

Holland thought about it. It seems they don't need the hyperdrive. It has many limitations, unlike what a space fold would be capable of. I notice they haven't asked about the weapons yet. In that case... "I accept this agreement."

"We thank you", Dr. Stephens added. "It will take some time for us to go over this history. We hope that you will be patient with us."
"Take all the time you need." Sasuke nodded.

(((OOC Nice, BSG meets Star Wars meets Stargate. This is begining to get very interesting :) )))

(((OOC: My worlds are in the same solar system, which is quite a vast one, similiar to the one in Firefly/Serenity)))
"That will be fine. In return, your embassy can be placed on our world of Konoha." Sasuke said. "The majority of embassies we have are in a city of its own, called Embassy Row, near our capital city, Konohagekure."

Captain Holland looked at the point and nodded. "It's close enough to our mutual space to defend it if necessary. We can supply the shield defenses."

(((OOC: I thought about asking about the lasers, but that would completely kill the point of playing the colonies. :) )))

Commander Wilkins, " That is great. How about one further amendment, our thruster manuverability for your holographic interfaces. We noticed in the battle your Battlestar was not as manueverable as ours. This will make your battlestars have the manuverability of that Y shaped fighter of yours."

Dr. Stephens responds, "This agreement is indeed a bold one. One that I know the president will be morethan happy to sign. If you would like I can arrange for one of our battlestars to take a copy to your capitol. Once we upload your star maps we can be there in 10 seconds."

Are there any further ammendments that you would like to add, Dr. Stephens asks.

Captain Holland looked at the point and nodded. "It's close enough to our mutual space to defend it if necessary. We can supply the shield defenses."

"We can supply the flak cannons for the station to prevent incoming missles. We can also supply one emergency evac Raptor to get all VIP personnal off the station and into friendly space." Commander Wilkins adds.

"Actually, our Battlestar's maneuverability is top-notch." Captain Holland said with a smile. "It's just that we Coredians prefer to leave just how maneuverable it is a surprise. Wait until we take the fight to the Cylons. In any case, we'll add our holographic technology to the pot as a gift."

Dr. Stephens responds, "This agreement is indeed a bold one. One that I know the president will be morethan happy to sign. If you would like I can arrange for one of our battlestars to take a copy to your capitol. Once we upload your star maps we can be there in 10 seconds."

"Are there any further amendments that you would like to add," Dr. Stephens asks.
"Jurai, our actual capital is still rebuilding from the attack our enemy the Empire incurred upon it, so you'll need to take it to Konoha." Sasuke said, hiding his surprise at the speed of the jump drives. Ten seconds? We definitely want that jump technology!

"We can supply the flak cannons for the station to prevent incoming missles. We can also supply one emergency evac Raptor to get all VIP personnal off the station and into friendly space." Commander Wilkins adds.
"That's fair." Captain Holland nodded.

OOC: Aww, damn! I almost forgot!

Daniel Masaki vs Remiel de Drakan. The fight of the century! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=450729&page=2)

Dr. Stephens smiled. This new treaty would be the pinacle of his carrier. He asked the captain if he would wish to ride with one of the battlestars to Konoha.

Dr. Stephens then pushed a button on the desk and a young marine came into the room. "Please take these documents to the president on Caprica. Tell him that we have had sucess."

Yes Sir, the yound private responded.

"Captain with your permission we can board the Battlestar Hades at once. Once we upload the maps to their system, we can begin the caculations and jump. " Dr. Stephens stated. With your star maps this will be a relativly easy jump."

"It'll get us an opportunity to see their Battlestar in action." Naruto mused.

"Gee, how smart of you." Sakura taunted lightly.

Before Naruto could object to the insult, Sasuke cut them off. "We're ready when you are, Captain."

The Captain nodded to Dr. Stephens. "Very well. I'll inform my Commander Woz of the situation." He pulled out his comlink and informed his second-in-command. The man acknowledged it and Holland put it away. "It's a go, Doctor."

Dr. Stephens asks the captain to follow him to the raptor standing by for his retrieval. He asks the pilot to hail the hades, and tell them to prepare for three visitors on the ship. Also tell them to upload the new star maps immediatly.

The pilot begins to relay the message immediatly.

Upon landing on the flight pod of the Battlestar Hades, the captain and the Jedi can easily see why the young crewmen they rescued the day before could mistake the Coredian Battlestar for their own. The interior layout was very similiar, with the exception of the absence of droids everywhere and holographic floating heads.

Dr. Stephens says, "If you will follow me to CIC, we will be underway very soon.

As you walk through the hallways, you can feel something very fimiliar, as the layout is almost identical to the Battlestar Cordia.

When you get to the CIC it had several glass doors, with bulletproof glass. (((OOC I assume you are fimiliar with the show, so it is identical to the Pegasus CIC)))

As you walk in the crew on board stand at attention, and salute. Commander Fisk, walks up to you.

"Welcome to the Battlestar Hades, it is a pleasure to make your aquaitence. We are prepared to get underway if you are."

"Lt. Gallian, are the jump coordinates in?" Commander Fisk says.

"Yes sir, we are awaiting your command to jump." Lt. Gallian says in response.

"Jump."

The jump process makes you feel like you are being streched out, it is not harmful in anyway, but if you are not used to it, it can be a bit disturbing.

A moment later we are about 1 click away from Konoha.

(((OOC it is late here, so forgive any rushed feeling in this post as well as typos.)))

Armistice Station

OOC: Let me start by apologizing for being unavailable. The information on my history is located here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/People_of_the_Taron_Agreement). I am still working on it and have lots of work to do. I’ll go into brief detail below.

That would be ideal, Dr. Stephens says. What kind of trade would you like to commence. Military, Civilian, Medical, or all of the above. As for an embassy I am certain that may be arranged. We can construct an embassy on Caprica, our capitol planet. Of course any trade that we have to commence with will have to go through military inspection points, but this should not be a problem.

“We are very interested….” he pauses and closes his eyes. He appears stunned; this lasts for a minute or two. He opens his eyes and continues, “I have been authorized to provide you any aid you require. Military, medical or commercial are all open.”

Narcissus pulls out three datasticks and hands them to each of the diplomats.

“These contain information on the people and history of the Taron Agreement.”

He takes one and demonstrates how to open it, and work the holographic interface. (OOC: It separates into two pieces about at wide and long as a legal size sheet of paper. The space between the pieces is a holographic image that contains the data.)

The Taron Agreement for formed a few billion years ago in the Taron System, after 100 years of war between the races of Aurill, and the Herogin. The agreement brought peace and prosperity to all races, and they expanded the reach of the Agreement to more the 5000 solar system.

The peace lasted for nearly a millennia, when it was shattered by a faction of Herogin intent on reinstalling the Herogin ruling family, and destroying everything that had been achieved.

In an effort to end the possibility of an uprising, the Taron government authorized the military to cleanse the worlds where the faction had taken root. In all a total of 1000 worlds were wiped of all life, with little or no warning.

One hundred years later, The members of the Guardian Council began to believe that the Cleansing was the wrong action, and they decided the only option to make amends for the actions of their forefathers would be to reseed those worlds with life, and place themselves, and all the Taron Agreement Colonies, and military vessels into slumber. Actions were taken to hide core world from sight, by blowing up many of the outer planets, and moving all asteroids, and debris into an orbit around the star that would form a nearly solid sphere around the remainder of the solar system. Those asteroid spheres were then armed to protect the system from possible intruders.

The time of the Awakening is now. The Emissary has returned and is in the process of waking the core Agreement worlds.


On his datastick he presses a few buttons, “I have been authorized to give you a copy of our translation matrix, repair and displacement technologies.” Looking at the Colonial delegate, “Although, I am not sure you will approve, given your distrust of droids, but our repair technologies use microscopic robots that can make repairs 1000 times faster than a human crew. Also, I have been permitted to provide you each with a class I raptor and we will provide training for a pilot. If you would like to setup an embassy with us, you will have to wait; Tayrus our government world is not awake yet, though it should be within a week. And inter-gallactically accepted laws will apply to it as well.”

"Certainly. Our merchant ships go through similar checks to prevent smuggling." Captain Holland nodded. "I have watched your FTL systems in action, plus that of the Cylons, and I have to say, our research and development people have been looking for a way to fold space and create a tactical faster-than-light engine, and this tech of yours will go a long way towards creating our own. In exchange, and with authorization from higher ups, I offer our hyperdrive and shield technology. Shields that could protect your Battlestars, your Raptors and Vipers," He winked at the two soldiers who got caught by a Solari laser cannon. "And even your planets from orbital bombardment."

Narcissus, turns to the Colonial Diplomat, and says, “We too are interested in your Jump-Drive Technology,” then turning to the Coreworlds Diplomat, “We can provide you with information on forming a rift to and from Fluidic Space, if you are interested. Your cultural database shall be quite useful as we reacquaint ourselves with the new people of the galaxy.”

(OOC: As you can tell, my people are more interested in knowledge, than technology. They are quite advanced technologically, but lack basic information on what has happened since they entered their slumber state.)

Narcissus smiled. All was going well, he would definitely get some reward for gathering this information. “In terms of trade,” addressing both parties, “We will be happy to extend civilian trade to your people, though civilian transports will have to submit to a thorough scan before they would be allowed to enter an Agreement system.”

Repair Crew

This is Pegasus, you have permission to magnetically seal to the station.

“Alright,” began Pa’Thel, “are you finished gathering the equipment?”

“Yes, sir,” came the combined replies.

They approached the area they intended to connect with. Suddenly, a warning signal sounds.

“What the,” Quinton broke off. “This area is weak, it we connect we run the risk of collapsing the whole section and possibly depressurizing the entire station.”

“Great,” commented Pa’Thel, “I guess we will have to fire a nanite probe to make the repair first. Quinton, begin programming one now.”

“Already on it, only need about five more seconds……Ready.”

A meter long needle is launched from the shuttle and impacts the station without an explosion. Two minute later the integrity of that section of the station appear to be as good as new.

“Ok, magnetizing…” THONG!! The sound of the shuttle attaching to the station echoes through both.

“Let’s go.” They gathered their equipment and walked to the back of the shuttle that was connected to the station.

Pa’Thel placed a beacon on the bulkhead door. “This will allow us to fid our way back. Be careful, these people have probably never seen anyone do this”

One by one, they walked into the door, and appeared to meld into it.

On the other side

OOC: I will let you decide where on the station they are and if anyone is there when they come out.

IC: Pa’Thel is the first one out. He appears to step out of the station wall, followed shortly by the other two crewmen.

Dr. Stephens asks the captain to follow him to the raptor standing by for his retrieval. He asks the pilot to hail the hades, and tell them to prepare for three visitors on the ship. Also tell them to upload the new star maps immediatly.

The pilot begins to relay the message immediatly.

"What a coincidence. The design for our Battlestar is much the same as yours! Semantics aside, of course." Holland said, an eyebrow raised in surprise. I wonder how the heck did that happen?

As you walk in the crew on board stand at attention, and salute. Commander Fisk, walks up to you.

"Welcome to the Battlestar Hades, it is a pleasure to make your aquaitence. We are prepared to get underway if you are."

(((OOC it is late here, so forgive any rushed feeling in this post as well as typos.)))
OOC: A klick is really, really close, like in the atmosphere. you'll want a megaklick at least. 1 million km.

IC:
"Ugh. I feel weird." Naruto said, tapping his stomach. The feeling went away quickly, though.

"Really? I don't feel anything." Sasuke smirked. "Sensitive, aren't you?"

"We're here." Sakura announced before the boys could bicker again.

"That was quick." Holland commented.

Suddenly, hundreds upon hundreds of targeting radars were locked onto the Battlestar. The sudden entrance and the fact that it's IFF is different from the Coredia meant that paranoia took over, especially since Huntaer also pops out of nowhere to attack. A message has been sent to the Battlestar on all channels.

"This is the Konoha 8th Fleet battleship Yondaime to unknown Battlestar. State your intentions now or prepare for severe consequences."

The Dradis would report the weapons of dozens of ships and defense stations powering up.

"Dammit!" Naruto yelled. "Get me the coms, now!"

OOC: Land, we are going to be in a bit of a time warp. Before the Coredian party left the station, do you have anything that your diplomats want to say to solidify our nation's friendship, and set up trade, maybe even an alliance if you so desire?

On board the Battlestar Hades:

Lt. Gallian, Draidus contacts, hundreds of ships sir. THey have locked onto us.

Commander Fisk responds, "My gods, I guess the transmission from their battlestar has not gotten here yet. Patch us through on speakers."

Commander Fisk picks up the Communication reciever which looks like a telephone with a cord attached.

This is the Battlestar Hades of the Colonial Fleet from the Twelve Colonies of Kobal. We do not wish you any harm. We just finished a diplomatic treaty with the captain of the Battlestar Cordia. We have Captain Holland on board as well as three of your priests called Jedi Knights. Please respond. If you wish to talk to them you may.

After the communication is sent Commander Fisk hands Naruto the reciever.

Major Vox states, Sir should we go to condition one?

Commander Fisk, "That is a negitive. When they talk to their own representitves they will not fire. Also we do not wish to appear hostile, maintain peaceful operations."

--------------------------------------------------

On Board the armistice station. (Prior to the launch of the Hades to Coredian Space)

Pegasus this is the Armistice station, I do not know how these aliens are doing this but they shot us with something, and our structural support is as good as new. Whatever the hell they are using it is great.
These guys are miracle workers.

OOC: Land, we are going to be in a bit of a time warp. Before the Coredian party left the station, do you have anything that your diplomats want to say to solidify our nation's friendship, and set up trade, maybe even an alliance if you so desire?

OOC: Other than what I already stated in the my previous post, no, and my apologies on the time warp. I have been unavailable for the last couple of days.

Armistice Station

OOC: Let me start by apologizing for being unavailable. The information on my history is located here. I am still working on it and have lots of work to do. I’ll go into brief detail below.



“We are very interested….” he pauses and closes his eyes. He appears stunned; this lasts for a minute or two. He opens his eyes and continues, “I have been authorized to provide you any aid you require. Military, medical or commercial are all open.”

Narcissus pulls out three datasticks and hands them to each of the diplomats.

“These contain information on the people and history of the Taron Agreement.”

He takes one and demonstrates how to open it, and work the holographic interface. (OOC: It separates into two pieces about at wide and long as a legal size sheet of paper. The space between the pieces is a holographic image that contains the data.)

Narcissus, turns to the Colonial Diplomat, and says, “We too are interested in your Jump-Drive Technology,” then turning to the Coreworlds Diplomat, “We can provide you with information on forming a rift to and from Fluidic Space, if you are interested. Your cultural database shall be quite useful as we reacquaint ourselves with the new people of the galaxy.”

(OOC: As you can tell, my people are more interested in knowledge, than technology. They are quite advanced technologically, but lack basic information on what has happened since they entered their slumber state.)

(((OOC: Somehow I missed the first part of your post, so I apoligize.)))

Dr. Stephens smiled. "We do not have a problem with robots per say, as they are a form of computer. Our problem comes from artificial intellegence. At least the ones that we constructed, some of the most advanced, started a rebellion against us, and tried to commit genoicide against us. We will be more than happy to agree to this exchange. Please tell us, what is fluidic space? We are not fimiliar with this term. We would love to form a lasting friendship in to all of the previous areas that you discussed, Military, Medical and trade. Your repair technology will go a long way to aiding us in future endevours. You have a copy of our history and religious ideology, and that is yours to keep. Can you please tell us what is your class one raptor."

Dr. Stephens hands your diplomat the technical specks of the FTL drive.

"If you would like, we can have the Atlantia take you to your homeworld to have a copy of your treaty ratified. We still have the coordinates in our navigational computer from when we dropped your emmissary off there." Commander Wilkins offers.

Your civilization will be more than welcome to trade at the new space station. Would you like to aid in it's construction, and defense. The station will be considered neutral territory owned by our three nations. The Twelve Colonies of Kobal would love to have your nation aid us in this endevour.

Lt. Gallian, "Draidus contacts, hundreds of ships sir. They have locked onto us."

Commander Fisk responds, "My gods, I guess the transmission from their battlestar has not gotten here yet. Patch us through on speakers."

After the communication is sent Commander Fisk hands Naruto the receiver.

Major Vox states, Sir should we go to condition one?

Commander Fisk, "That is a negative. When they talk to their own representatives they will not fire. Also we do not wish to appear hostile, maintain peaceful operations."
As soon as the Hades gave the Coredian 8th Fleet the message, they almost asked for confirmation when Naruto spoke. "Jounin Uzumaki Naruto here. Everything the Hades said is true. Is Daniel around?"

"Raitei-sama? Yeah." Came the answer. "He's around."

"Good. If he isn't too busy I'd like to have an audience--" Naruto started.

"Say no more," Another voice cut in, sounding a bit young for an Emperor, but that's age-retarding genes for you. "Latest batch of paperwork is done, so I'm free for the next hour or so. Huh? Sciezka, not here! Nooooo! Help me!"

Naruto heard the sound of a dump truck pouring more paper on his friend and laughed hard. Even the other three Coredians onboard got a laugh at Daniel Masaki's expense. He hung up the phone, still smiling and turned to the Colonials. "Despite him being drowned by paperwork, we can go down and meet the Emperor for a little while. Oh yeah, and Raitei means Lightning Emperor and -sama is basically Lord, but he doesn't like formal titles. There's a reason he's called that, but I don't think he'll reveal it to you at this time. Without further ado, let's go!"

The landing transponders were already set up. All the Colonials had to do was follow it down to the main Konoha military base nearby the capital city.

Part of Konohagekure Village, the Village Hidden In the Leaves. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Konoha.jpeg)

OOC: You also missed the portion of the post were my repair crew boarded the station.

Dr. Stephens smiled. "We do not have a problem with robots per say, as they are a form of computer. Our problem comes from artificial intelligence. At least the ones that we constructed, some of the most advanced, started a rebellion against us, and tried to commit genocide against us. We will be more than happy to agree to this exchange.

“Good, Narcissus interjects, “then you will have no problems with our repair or medical technologies.” He presses a few buttons on his datastick, and the information appears on the one he gave you earlier.

(OOC: We use nanites for repairing our metallic vessels. They essentially disassemble themselves, to make microscopic repairs to the vessel. For the organic ships, nanites are used to boost their natural rate of healing.}

Please tell us, what is fluidic space? We are not familiar with this term.

“Fluidic space is one of several dimensions of space that coexists along side our dimension, which we call Realspace. It is essentially an endless ocean, though the fluid isn’t water as we known it, it is somewhat more viscous than water on a world in Realspace.”

Can you please tell us what is your class one raptor."

“A raptor is a fighter piloted by a Raptor.” (OOC: I have a race called a Raptor.)
“The one in you docking bay is a class 5, but we have a few class 1’s that are used as training fighters. We noticed in your combat against the cylons that your fighters had to bank in order to turn. Our raptors are actually able to bend making them slightly more maneuverable that your fighters.”
(OOC: If you want me to describe the fighter let me know and I will.)

"If you would like, we can have the Atlantia take you to your homeworld to have a copy of your treaty ratified.

“Thank you for the offer, but once the document is completed, we will scan it into our system and it will be immediately available for approval by the Guardian Council.”

”We still have the coordinates in our navigational computer from when we dropped your emissary off there."

“You have met the Emissary? Then I have grave news. He is not doing well. Apparently, there was a power problem on Tiamat Station, and he was injured attempting to resolve the issue before the engineers were awake. We pray he is able to recover.”

Your civilization will be more than welcome to trade at the new space station. Would you like to aid in its construction, and defense. The station will be considered neutral territory owned by our three nations. The Twelve Colonies of Kobal would love to have your nation aid us in this endeavor.

“We are very interested in building and defending the new space station. I suggest that we use this location, and simply modify this station for those purposes.”

(((OOC: I will respond to both of your posts in this one)))

Commander Fisk, "Get a raptor fueled and ready to go. Send out CAG Captain Jameson and three marine guards to meet the Emperor. Tell them to be aware of everything and try their pest not to offend anyone, as well as out diplomat."

Moments later your delegation is lead to the Starboard flight pod, where the Captain Jameson, Dr. Stephens, and two marine guards dressed in black uniforms are awaiting the Coredian delegation.

"Welcome on board," Captain Jameson states, as he salutes the delegation. The other two marine guards, and the two young pilots board the Raptor..

Upon takeoff there is a little jolt, but soon the raptor begins to fly towards the programmed coordinates on Konoha. As soon as they get into orbit the raptor sends a transmission

Konoha, this is Colonial Raptor one. We request instructions on your landing procedures.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"We can accommodate your request to make this station your trading post." Dr. Stephens states. Also the addition of one of your raptors seems to be ideal. We will gladily accept these concessions."

You have met the Emissary? Then I have grave news. He is not doing well. Apparently, there was a power problem on Tiamat Station, and he was injured attempting to resolve the issue before the engineers were awake. We pray he is able to recover

Commander Wilkins replies, "I am very sorry to hear that he is sick. " Commander Wilkins thinks to himself, "I hope the Emissary was a guy, it was hard to tell as he never encountered that race before that day."

Commander Wilkins continues, "Let him know that myself and my crew will be praying for his speedy recovery. He is a very noble man."

Konoha, this is Colonial Raptor one. We request instructions on your landing procedures.
"Please proceed as follows to the main base that is shown on your transponder reciever. You'll be placed in a VIP corridor, so no delays are expected. There's some cloud and light winds, so nothing to worry about. The Emperor will send a speeder to pick you up. Have a nice day!"

The ship begins to land on the targeted area. Upon landing the crew of the small Raptor opens the door.

Lt. Baker , "It is good to be planetside again, it has been too long.

Dr. Stephens smiles, " I guess being couped up in a ship for a year or so would make you appreciate that. This is something I do take for granted.

Moments later a speeder came by. The men were amazed that the car was hovering above the ground and had no wheels.

This is quite fantastic Major Jameson said.

"Come now" Dr. Stephens replied, we must not keep the emperor waiting.

All of the men step into the speeder, and begin to head to the emperor's palace.

As the speeder zoomed through the streets of Konohagekure, Naruto pointed out the sights of his birth city, starting with the Hokage Monument (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Konoha.jpeg), a stone cliff carved with the faces of all the Hokages. The current one is the woman, Tsunade. He also pointed out the hot spas to the north, the training fields to the east and the Stadium to the west, not to mention Ichiraku, the most famous restaurant chain in Coreworlds. Eventually, the speeder headed up a hill towards a palace (http://www.csudh.edu/hux/syllabi/images/545summerpl.jpg) known as the Hokage Mansion, where the Hokage lives and works and where the Emperor has temporary offices. The speeder eventually reached the high-security gates, passed through and rode up to the entrance, where a young Genin (apprentice) opened the door for his superiors and the delegates and saluted. Naruto and company returned it.

Standing at the entrance was the Emperor (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/3478488/?qo=9&q=Duo+Maxwell&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5), Daniel Masaki. By his side was the Hokage Tsunade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunade_(Naruto)) and on his right side was the Dragon King Sarinon (http://www.battleduck.com/media/images/printimages/golddragonprint.jpg) (in human form, not dragon to put your people at ease). Naruto and company were surprised to see the all three Coredian leaders in one spot.

Inquired, the King merely smiled. "I just decided to drop by and see how the Emperor's shaping up."

"Ah. Well, here we are for the diplomatic part." Naruto said.

"Right." I said. I, being the Emperor, of course. "Welcome to Konoha, Coreworlds, my friends. I'm the Emperor, Daniel Masaki. These are my colleages, Hokage Tsunade, who runs the planet, and Sarinon, Dragon King of Issus. You must be the Colonials of Kobol."

The two young colonial Pilots, Salute the emperor, and Dr. Stephens smiles.

"It is a pleasure to make your aquaintance, and I would like to thank you Emperor as well as Hokage Tsunade and , and Sarinon, Dragon King of Issus for seeing us on short notice. I must say you have a lovely city, I was very impressed by the momuments, as well as the recreational facilites. Your city as well as your home is a masterpiece of art." Dr. Stephens states.

"I would also like to congradulate your fine military forces, who not only saved these two pilots from a rogue attack, but helped to defend our borders. Your Civilization is truly one to be marveled at." Dr. Stephens concluded.

"We manage." I smiled modestly. "Come."

I lead the entourage to the reception hall, where a table and a small tray of refreshments (with drinks) were laid out for the guests. I grabbed a seat and so did everyone else.

"I presume that Captain Holland had met you and discussed the diplomatic options?" I asked, beginning the meeting.

(OOC: It seems you figured my people out, the way to the colonial heart is through their flask :) Also thank you for not having your dragon king in dragon form. That would not have been pleasant)

Yes Emperor, Dr. Stephens replied. I believe that we have made all of the arrangements.

Dr. Stephens hands the Emperor the envolope with the details of the treaty discussed previously.

Lt. Johnson sips his drink, "Forgive me sir, might I ask what this drink is called it is quite fantastic?"

Lt. Baker replies, "Can it Johnson, forgive him sir, he has a tendancy to speak when he should not."

Dr. Stephens continued, "According to our arrangements, Emperor, we agreed on a technology trade as well as an embassy exchange. Also a joint construction project in neutral space, for trade and diplomacy. That envolope has all of the details within. Are these details that Captain Holland and I negotiated to your satisfactation?"

Dr. Stephens takes a sip of his drink. He thinks to himself, "Lt. Johnson was correct this is quite good."

(OOC: It seems you figured my people out, the way to the colonial heart is through their flask :) Also thank you for not having your dragon king in dragon form. That would not have been pleasant)
OOC: True. He's normally the size of a 747, for starters (:eek:), although if you look at the pic, he's clearly on the side of Good. Still, it wouldn't do well to have Colonials meet the Dragons. Perhaps sometime down the road.

IC:
"Yes, Emperor," Dr. Stephens replied. "I believe that we have made all of the arrangements."

Dr. Stephens hands the Emperor the envolope with the details of the treaty discussed previously.
"Ah." I mused as I began reading the treaty. Let's see...jump drives for shields and armor technology. Holographic technology as a gift. Trade and diplomatic agreements. A neutral station to be built by our nations. All appears in order.

Lt. Johnson sips his drink, "Forgive me sir, might I ask what this drink is called it is quite fantastic?"

Lt. Baker replies, "Can it Johnson, forgive him sir, he has a tendancy to speak when he should not."
"Don't worry about it. The drink is wine from the grapevines of Hidden Grass, a smaller nation on this planet. They export quality wines." Tsunade smiled as she sipped sake (fermented from rice).

Dr. Stephens continued, "According to our arrangements, Emperor, we agreed on a technology trade as well as an embassy exchange. Also a joint construction project in neutral space, for trade and diplomacy. That envolope has all of the details within. Are these details that Captain Holland and I negotiated to your satisfactation?"

Dr. Stephens takes a sip of his drink. He thinks to himself, "Lt. Johnson was correct this is quite good."
"Hmm. I would say all the details are in order. Our shields, armor, and holographic tech for your FTL engines, and trade between our two nations, not to mention a diplomatic exchange and that neutral station. How about I add a cultural exchange program, where university students and those who wish it can travel between our two nations and learn all about them?" I asked.

Dr. Stephens smiled. "This Emperor really wanted his civilization to know about the colonial society. Hopefully this was a good thing he thought."

"We can agree to a cultural exchange, and might I also ask if it would be permissible if we could also exchange cultural institutions. I know many would be interested in learning of your religion, as our society is a very spiritual society, well for the most part. Perhaps we can also exchange a school or temple or whatever you call it where people learn of the force, in exchange for a temple of the gods on a planet of your choice. It seems for the most part to learn the true intentions of a society, one may look towards it's religious and metaphysical views." Dr. Stephens stated.

It seems for the most part to learn the true intentions of a society, one may look towards it's religious and metaphysical views." Dr. Stephens stated.
I nodded. "A fine way to put it. However, there are some issues with a temple of the gods. You see, Coredians have known about people who are considered gods for a while and really, they aren't fazed much. It's like you've seen one godlike being, you've seen 'em all. And not to offend, but polytheist deities like the Greek Pantheon, which I understand you worship, hasn't been worshipped in millenia either on Earth or in Coreworlds, so people may consider them anachronistic* at best. Again, no offense."

"Still, it would be interesting to review from a cultural perspective and certainly our Archives will want some detail on your perspective of the Greek gods for research. To that end, I thank you for you Sacred Scrolls. On the issue of teaching people in the ways of the Force, we would have to test members of your people for the ability or figure out other clues, like uncanny ability beyond mere luck or strange supernatural events and then if they accept the training, our Jedi Academy here is one of the few with the capabilities to train them."

OOC: *It means something that's out of place from a historical context, like a gun in Roman times, for example.

Dr. Stephens replies," I am not offended, nor do I believe my society would be, but perhaps you are right. Trying to have such a bold cutural exchange maybe seen at this point in time as silly at best, or cause more harm than good. Your students who wish to visit our colonies and universities are welcome, but the notion of trading cultural institutions, is a bit too bold and probably premature at this venture, as I hope that our students and those who wish to attend your universities, or just come for the tourism aspects will be allowed."

Dr. Stephens states, "We have allocated to your government a track of land, about 100 acres for an embassy outside Caprica City, Caprica. We are allocating land because we believe that in order to ease diplomacy one should have their natural surroundings, or as close as can be created."

Dr. Stephens hands the Emperor the deed for the land.

"That's a good thing. Can't dump too much at once." I agreed.

Dr. Stephens hands the Emperor the deed for the land.
"Ah, that sounds like a good plot of land. Nice mix of forest and meadow." I nodded as I took the deed. Then I waved a pen to my hand and looked over the treaty one more time. Now there was the allowance of people traveling to and fro Coreworlds and the Colonies. "Now that all is settled, I shall sign this document and send it to my Senate for approval. Shouldn't take more than a day to get it approved."

OOC: Ask about how people would be tested for Force sensitivity. If you want a Jedi or two, that is. Incidently, I think Cylon-human babies would have a higher than average chance to be Force-sensitive. *thinks up fanfiction to explore that prospect*

(((OOC: Lol ok. Cylon-Human hybrid jedi, that sounds kind of vicious :) However if you do find jedi I hope to keep it to a minimum, since I would like to focus on the Battlestar Galactica/Serenity/Stargate style tech and style of civilization :) But maybe one or two force sensitive people would be cool, especially baby Hera, or Baltar and Caprica's kid :) )))

Dr. Stephens looks at the Emperor. " You mentioned being tested for the force, might I ask what does that entail? What is the force to your best understanding, and what does it do, besides for the obvious mythological purposes? I am very curious about your metaphysical views on reality."

Lt. Baker and Johnson's pupil's dialated, when they heard the Emperor mention the Jedi. Their minds filled with the memories they had seen on the Battlestar Cordelia.

(((OOC: Remember Lt. Baker is a beautiful Blond with blue eyes and a skinny figure. Does she sound like anyone you have heard of from BSG... :) )))

Lt. Baker and Johnson's pupil's dialated, when they heard the Emperor mention the Jedi. Their minds filled with the memories they had seen on the Battlestar Coredia.
"Hmm. From my perspective, the Force is sometimes a tool to help us Jedi do our jobs of keeping the peace and protecting the innocent. Sometimes it has a presence, like when you enter a haunted house and spot the ghosts. But often times, it is almost sentient in that it tries to keep the balance of good and light, evil and darkness in check. In other words, the Force has a light side and a dark side and it binds the universe together."

I leaned forward, dead serious, my eyes filled with the pain of years of war. "There is something you must be aware of when you think about the Force. It, through us Jedi, has many foes. The Cylons are bad enough from what I heard, but there are things in this galaxy far worse than genocidal machines. There are the Sith Lords, our evil counterparts. They want power and will do anything to get it. Even destroy entire planets with a battlestation that's sometimes mistaken for a moon. If you want, I can give you proof of that ability through our first capital planet of Juria, now little more than an asteroid field. Know the name of Palpatine, Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Dark Lord of the Sith, for he is a foe to be reckoned with. Know the evil forces of Chronosia, followers of Chaos, and their leader Remiel de Drakan. Beware when your people encounter the scion of Chaos, for they are trickery personified, subjucating with words as much as with force. Pray that you are not targets for the Empire and their Chaos allies, and believe me when I tell you that the Cylons will be the least of your worries when you do become targets."

"I open our Archives to your people so that you may know what you may come up against and know what you can do against them." I said. "And lastly, if the Empire learns of you, know that I will do all I can to protect the Twelve Colonies should they come under attack."

I hope I didn't scare them too much. I thought ruefully.

(((OOC: Remember Lt. Baker is a beautiful Blond with blue eyes and a skinny figure. Does she sound like anyone you have heard of from BSG... :) )))
OOC: Sure rings a bell! Sounds like model Six, although I like model Two more.

(((OOC: If you find Hera and test her, I will leave it up to you whether or not she is force sensitive. I will reply more to your post when I have a bit more time, as what you said just opened up a whole new ballgame. )))

Dr. Stephens looked almost terrified by the situation that the Emperor discribed. After a moment however Dr. Stephens was able to regain his composure.

Dr. Stephens replies, "I thank you for your offer to open your archives to us. May I ask how did this war begin, and have there been any attempts to end this war? Also if I may, can I get a copy of all of the techinical details of the Galactic Empire and Chronosian vessels that you have? With such information, perhaps we can find a weakness within their systems, that has not currently been found. We are a very creative society. We would also like the details on this battlestation if you have any at all. With our researchers we might be able to find a counter measure and save countless lives."

Dr. Stephens takes a sip of his wine. "Are you also saying that you are one of these 'jedi'. So I take it then that the 'jedi' are a mystical priest class that governs your society?"

(OOC: I am to the best of my ability trying to play a society that knows nothing of the force, forgive me for my idiotic questions.)

Lt. Johnson drank his wine in one big gulp. "How may I ask do these evil jedi, or sith as you call them differ from your jedi? What is the difference between this light side and dark side?" His thoughts strayed to that beautiful female jedi onbaord the Cordia. He wondered what side she was on, then wondered if he had a shot with her."

Lt. Baker sat in pure silence, she looked astonished by the claims, but astonished in the sense of hearing a ghost story, or a fairy tale. She seemed somewhat unconvinced. Such power and magnitude is seemingly impossible, but then again she thought last week she would have thought that alien life outside the solar system was impossible.

Also if I may, can I get a copy of all of the techinical details of the Galactic Empire and Chronosian vessels that you have? With such information, perhaps we can find a weakness within their systems, that has not currently been found. We are a very creative society. We would also like the details on this battlestation if you have any at all. With our researchers we might be able to find a counter measure and save countless lives."
I began to collect my thoughts once more and commed my secretary. "Sciezka, will you please bring me the history of the galaxy from 19 BBY to the present and a disk of the six Star Wars films? Also, get me technical specs on all known Imperial and Chronosian vessals, including the Death Star."

"All right!" Came the chirpy answer.

I spoke again. "The Galactic Empire was born 19 years before a battle we call the Battle of Yavin, where the very first Death Star was destroyed. For reference, it's 102 years after Yavin or ABY. It was the beginning of the end of the Clone Wars, a war that spanned the entire galaxy and was fought between the Clones and Jedi on the Republic side and droids and Sith on the Confederacy side. The last major battle was an assault on the capital planet of Coruscant by the droid leader General Grevious to capture then-Chancellor Palpatine. He succeeded, but was caught between the planetary shields and the Republic's Fifth Fleet. Two Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker flew their fighters into the battle and launched an assault on the flagship Invisible Hand. They eventually freed the Chancellor, killing the Sith Lord Count Dooku in the process and though the ship fell through the atmosphere of Coruscant, were able to land it safely. Then came the intruge between the Jedi Order and the Chancellor, and the Chancellor began seducing Skywalker into the Dark Side. What came of it was a disaster. Anakin learned that the Chancellor was Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord the Jedi were looking for throughout the Clone Wars, and told Jedi Master Mace Windu about it. Master Windu and three Jedi went to arrest the Chancellor and a duel broke out, killing the Jedi and leaving Master Windu to face Palpatine alone. Anakin then came in and saw the duel. He chose to side with the Chancellor and attacked the Jedi Master. Together, the Sith killed the Jedi Master and Palpatine ordered Anakin to kill all the Jedi in the Temple."

Here, I grimaced as my sister basically did the same thing 12 years ago. "None were spared in the assault on the Temple, not even the children. At the same time, Chancellor Palpatine executed Order 66, ordering the clone armies to kill the Jedi they served. Few survived, among them Masters Yoda and Kenobi. The Jedi were able to sneak back onto Coruscant and learned who did the assault and also that the Chancellor declared himself Emperor. In the end, Yoda ordered Obi-Wan to find and defeat Anakin -now Darth Vader- on the volcano moon of Mustafar and he himself faced down the Emperor. Obi-Wan defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor defeated Yoda. However, the Emperor was able to keep Vader alive long enough to encase him in the black armor we now know him as."

I showed them a picture of Palpatine (http://medienkritik.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/palpatine.jpg) and Darth Vader (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40053998/?qo=22&q=Vader&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5). Know thy enemy...

"Thus begins the Galactic Empire, and the war to restore the Republic." I finished.

Sciezka entered with the documents and the disk.

"That disk contains an interpretation of the important events in the Galaxy." I said. "Through the eyes of Anakin Skywalker and then his son Luke. As for your second question: yes, there has been attempts. Twenty years after Yavin, the remnants of the Empire had signed a treaty with the New Republic, ending nearly forty years of strife. It lasted until about sixteen years ago, so yeah, peace was capable with the Empire, but only if the likes of Palpatine was dealt with."

OOC: Use Wookiepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) for the technical aspects of the Imperial craft. As for the Chronosian ships, I don't know of any stats, but checking Warhammer 40K sites should help with the basic looks. Something along the lines of this (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=List_Models&code=300956&orignav=300808) and this (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=List_Models&code=300991&orignav=300808). I do know that a cruiser is at least a kilometer long, the frigates are smaller, and a battleship is several klicks long, most likely 8 or so. The Planet Killer is Remiel's flagship and the Terminus Est is Lucian de Drakan's flag.

Dr. Stephens takes a sip of his wine. "Are you also saying that you are one of these 'jedi'. So I take it then that the 'jedi' are a mystical priest class that governs your society?"
"You could say that, and yes, the Jedi wield great influence in the nation, but they don't govern the nation per say." I said, sipping some wine. "The Jedi Order is a separate entity from the government, but works closely with it nevertheless. It helps deal with law enforcement, diplomacy, even intelligence. The Order is also our main line of defense against supernatural foes, and we do have them in spades. So yeah, they're kind of a warrior priest class in our nation."

(OOC: I am to the best of my ability trying to play a society that knows nothing of the force, forgive me for my idiotic questions.)
OOC: No question is idiotic. Hell, these are good questions to ask.

Lt. Johnson drank his wine in one big gulp. "How may I ask do these evil jedi, or sith as you call them differ from your jedi? What is the difference between this light side and dark side?" His thoughts strayed to that beautiful female jedi onbaord the Coredia. He wondered what side she was on, then wondered if he had a shot with her.
"A good question." I said, spotting a rat in the room. I'd have to get some cats in later. "Allow me to demonstrate."

The rat squeaked when I stopped it with telekinesis and shot at it with a small knife. It stuck into the rat, but my powers kept the rat from dying just so. I went over to the little rodent and began to heal it, fueling the Light Side with thoughts of kindness and good and fluffy bunnies. "This is the Light Side. It has the capability to heal and vanish evil and is the primary goal of all law-abiding people. Positive emotions like love, happiness, honesty, even justice fall under the Light Side."

Then I grew angry, recalling all my not-so-good memories. Anger turned to hate, hate turned to suffering and I lashed out at the rat with life-sucking Force Lightning. It shrieked and writhed in pain, and died in a few seconds. Then I used the Force to cleanse my evil thoughts and sighed heavily. "That was the Dark Side, a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. It uses negative emotions, from despair to anger to hatred to fuel its powers. It also puts a stain on your soul that can hardly be erased. The more stains you have, the more you use it, the more addictive the Dark Side gets until you become that which you hated in the first place. It is quicker, easier, more seductive, but ultimately it destroys those who rely on it to gain power. It could be summed up as the reality of power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is what the Jedi strive against and what the Sith revel in. And you know, one doesn't have to be able to use the Force to fall to darkness. A dictator is a perfect example."

Dr. Stephens saw the demonstration, and said "My gods" in utter shock. "How could such a display of power be considered natural. If it is truly universal, how is it that my people do not possess such measures of power?"

The two young pilots watched and smiled, until they saw the Emperor throw th lighting bolt.

Lt. Johnson stated, "Well that is new." "He thought on second thought maybe I should not hit on that girl on the Coredia. If that time of the month comes, or if I come home late one night drunk, I do not want to be fried."

Lt. Baker could not hide her surprise and fear when lightning shot from his hand. She sat in her chair shaking. This display of power was almost too much for her brain to handle.

Dr. Stephens states, "With all due respect Emperor, if you wish to test the COlonials for this "gift", you may do so, but only if the individual volenteers, and if the subject is under the age of legal consent on the Twelve Colonies, you must have parental persmission in writing before training them."

Dr. Stephens saw the demonstration, and said "My gods" in utter shock. "How could such a display of power be considered natural. If it is truly universal, how is it that my people do not possess such measures of power?"
"Not sure. I think that your Lords of Kobol probably possessed such levels of power." I said. "Most people don't really know they have the Force unless they are found out by people who know what to look for. It may be considered a sixth sense to aid in various happenings."

The two young pilots watched and smiled, until they saw the Emperor throw th lighting bolt.

Lt. Johnson stated, "Well that is new." He thought, On second thought maybe I should not hit on that girl on the Coredia. If that time of the month comes, or if I come home late one night drunk, I do not want to be fried.

Lt. Baker could not hide her surprise and fear when lightning shot from his hand. She sat in her chair shaking. This display of power was almost too much for her brain to handle.
I noted the shock and fear rolling off the Colonials in spades after my little dark display. I sighed and began sending calming waves throughout the room and smiled disarmingly. "Calm yourselves, my friends. There is nothing to fear from me or the Jedi. We Jedi use the Force for defense of the innocent, never to do evil acts."

Dr. Stephens states, "With all due respect Emperor, if you wish to test the COlonials for this "gift", you may do so, but only if the individual volenteers, and if the subject is under the age of legal consent on the Twelve Colonies, you must have parental persmission in writing before training them."
I nodded. "That rule is our own as well. We allow the person to make the choice. We will never force him or her to join. That is against our code."

As you send out waves of the force to calm down the colonials, Dr. Stephens and Lt. Johnson begin to calm down, as if the display were completely natural, however Lt. Baker still seemed shook up. It was almost as if the force had no effect on her emotional status.

Dr. Stephens replied, "This is a most interesting prediciment, and a great discovery. I am glad that your code does not involve aggressive behavior, nor abducting those with the force."

Lt. Johsnson relaxed in his chair, drinking his wine. " Emperor sir, he asked Do you carry one of those plasma swords, and how long does it take to use one?"

Lt. Baker on the otherhand was too unsettled to lash out at Lt. Johnson's idiotic and unimportant question, she just stared in complete shock.

Dr. Stephens replied, "How long has your civilization known about this force. And according to what you just stated, do you believe the gods to be force users. This would definetly prove to be a unique theory to write a article on in our scientific journals. How do you channel this 'energy field' without the use of technology?" Dr. Stephens obviously seems somewhat excited by this notion.

Dr. Stephens continued, "What of these 'Sith'? Do these use the force in a similiar and natural way without the use of technology? Why do they wish to subdue the universe, and undue your Jedi order?"

Lt. Johsnson relaxed in his chair, drinking his wine. " Emperor sir, he asked Do you carry one of those plasma swords, and how long does it take to use one?"
I chuckled. "I do, and they're called lightsabers. It takes oh, about six months to be proficient in the use of a lightsaber without chopping your limbs off. Of course, to be a relative expert takes years of training."

Lt. Baker on the otherhand was too unsettled to lash out at Lt. Johnson's idiotic and unimportant question, she just stared in complete shock.
Hmm. I wonder if she needs a shrink. I looked at Lt. Baker with a kind eye. "Are you all right?"

Dr. Stephens replied, "How long has your civilization known about this force. And according to what you just stated, do you believe the gods to be force users. This would definetly prove to be a unique theory to write a article on in our scientific journals. How do you channel this 'energy field' without the use of technology?" Dr. Stephens obviously seems somewhat excited by this notion.
"We've known about the Force for 25,000 years, around the time of the birth of our Republic. As for the Gods being Force users, I can't confirm that without more evidence, but Gods are known for using all sorts of powers, so it's possible. As for the channeling of the Force..." I scratched my head a bit. "Well, it's a combination of mind/willpower and a little symbiote in our bloodstream known as midichlorians. The little buggers act as a medium through which the Force can act through. I think there's some correlation to midichlorians and what other people call mitochondria, but I don't know much about that."

Dr. Stephens continued, "What of these 'Sith'? Do these use the force in a similiar and natural way without the use of technology? Why do they wish to subdue the universe, and undue your Jedi order?"
I nodded. "They have the same midichlorians as we Jedi do so their powers come from the Force, although the actual use of their powers for power's sake is something to be avoided. The Sith were once Jedi many millenia ago, people who learned the Dark Side through various means. The Jedi objected to the then-Dark Jedi and cast them out because their philosophy is not one based on peace, but strength through power. The Sith, in their quest for power, have set their eyes on the universe at large. Unlimited power over a vast area of space-time is their goal, and they would sweep aside anyone who gets in their way. The Jedi object to their goals because many of the things the Sith do..." I shook my head sadly. "Well, it isn't pretty, and so we fight, though I'd rather not, since we're like the elephants that trample the grass in our wars."

Lt. Baker stared at the Emperor. "No sir, I am not, I feel very strange." she states. Her eyes begin to glaze over for a second and then she collapses on the floor. Her skin begins to become pale, as a stream of blood pours out of her nose.

Lt. Johnson and Dr. Stephens stand up. Lt. Johnson shouts to her, are you alright, Baker.

Dr. Stephens checks her for a pulse. "Her pulse is weak, do you have any medical facilities near by?" "We need to get her to a hospital now."

Lt. Johnson picked up the limp body of Lt. Baker, holding her tight. He thought, Lords of Kobal let her live, this I pray to you."

Oh Crap. I thought as the Hokage rushed over to Lt. Baker.

"I'm Coreworlds' chief medic." Tsunade said by way of explaination as she began to go through her first aid training and ordered an ambulance to the Hokage Mansion. Her hands glowed green as she fought to stabilize Lt. Baker's vitals, knowing that blood from the nose and unconsiousness is a Very Bad Thing. Breathing shallow, pulse weak. The rupture's coming from the brain. Damn! I can't operate here. I need the hospital's resources!

By the time the ambulance arrived, Tsunade managed to stabilize the Lt's vitals, but she could do no further. The paramedics were shown the way and carefully put the body on a stretcher and carried Lt. Baker down to the ambulance. Tsunade opted to go with the ambulance and ordered the driver to step on it. Sirens wailing, the ambulance sped away to Konoha Medical Trauma Center, the emergency wing of the General Hospital.

"Tsunade is Coreworlds' best medical expert. If anyone can save Lieutenant Baker's life, she can." I said. I turned to Dr. Stephens. "We can table this discussion until Lt. Baker is healed, if you want."

(OOC: sorry for the long delay been busy with work)

As Tsunade begins to check on Lt. Baker, her heartrate slows dramatically as she is being rushed to the hospital. Her eyes begin glaze over, and her breathing stops. As her skin begins to grow paler, a signal begins to emmit from her body. The signal would be very difficult to detect, but if there is a military base near by they should be able to find it.

Meanwhile at the Emperor's Palace:

Lt. Johnson tries to hold back his emotions, as he was trained to do, but was visibly upset by the recent turn of events. He looks at the Emperor, "What did you do to her? She was fine, til you stated zapping things with lighting, he screamed."

Dr. Stephens's face turns gravely concerned. He thought, "gods, I pray the Emperor will nderstand his outburst."

Dr. Stepens says, "Marines escort Lt. Johnson back to the Hades at once."

The two marines dressed in black, armed with a varaition of the M-16 walk over to Lt. Johnson, "Come with us sir."

Lt. Johnson shouts, "What the frak he kills her, and I am being escorted out!"

One of the marine's quickly grabs the pistol out of Lt. Johnson's holster, before LT. Johnson thought to use it. He grabs Lt. Johnson and drags him out ofthe Emperor's palace.

Dr. Stephen's states, "Please forgive him Emperor, he was very close to her, and he is just angry. Please do not look poorly on our society for this one incident, or the remarks of one solder." "Perhaps we should take a brief recess, until your medical examiner can determine the cause of death."

(OOC: Your force lighting shorted out her silicate pathways.)

"Dammit, don't you die on me, girl!" Tsunade yelled, and began to perform CPR in hopes that she would be revived. Interspaced with CPR was the shocker to restart her heart.

Meanwhile, Konoha Signals Command noticed a small, almost unnoticable signature coming from the hospital. Because that signature coincided with the fact that a Colonial officer was just admitted to the hospital, a message was sent to the Emperor about that.

Meanwhile at the Emperor's Palace:

Lt. Johnson tries to hold back his emotions, as he was trained to do, but was visibly upset by the recent turn of events. He looks at the Emperor, "What did you do to her? She was fine, til you stated zapping things with lighting, he screamed."

(OOC: Your force lighting shorted out her silicate pathways.)
"T-the cause of death?" I stammered, my heart beating at the thought of accidently killing her. My mind reeled at the relevation. I throw Force Lightning and the soldier up and dies, and it didn't even go near her. What's going on?

"O-of course. Let's take the recess." I said.

A few minutes later, an aide came to me and gave me a piece of paper, the paper that stated a faint signal came from the hospital, right about the same time the Colonial officer was admitted. I frowned and decided to give it to the Doctor. "Doctor? Take a look at this."

OOC: OMG! Is Baker what I think she is?!

(OOC: well human's don't send off signals when they die... :) )

Dr. Stephens looked at the peice of paper the Emperor gave him. It was an odd shape by colonial standards, as it was a square, instead of the corners cut off. This was an unimportant detail, but one that was still worth noting, as it helps to show the cultural differences.

Dr. Stephens continued to read, and looked at the EMperor, I am sorry I am not a medical doctor, he stated, until he read about the signal.

"My gods," he exclaimed. How can this be, unless... frak. I am very sorry Emperor, it would seem that Lt. Baker was a cylon agent. If she manages to download back to their resserection ship, then the cylons will know of the location of this planet, as well the details of our purposed treaty. Her death could have even been set up to cause a rift between our people, as you saw Lt. Johnson's anger towards you.

Dr. Stephens looks at one of the marine detachment that came with him. "Have Lt. Johnson isolated immediatly until I have a moment to speak to him. We do not need him telling the crew what happened, causing them undue stress, as well as feelings of revenge.

The marine Picked up his radio and began to relay the message to the Hades at once.

Dr. Stephens stated, "I am sorry Emperor, I had no idea she was one of them, we may have unwillingly given your location to the enemy. For that I am truly sorry."

Dr. Stephens places his glasses on the table. "Might I ask if you have something a little stronger, I really need a stiff drink, he asks., his face looking very grim."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile on the Battlestar Ares:

The two marines that escorted LT. Johnson back to the ship recieve their orders. Sargent Micheals looks at LT. Johnson, "Come with me sir, you are to report to the brig."

Lt. Johnson shouts, "What the frak that emperor killed my co-pilot, and I am getting arrested." Several people in the coorider stare at the marines.

Sargent Michaels replies, "Come with us sir."

Lt. Johnson replies, "No frakking way and throws a punch at the marine, his fist hitting him square in the face. Blood begins to rush out of his nose.

The second marine pulls his rifle on the Lt. If you do not come with us, I will shoot you, he states.

Sargent Michaels wipes the blood off his sleeve and grabs the LT. by his arm, very tight, causing the Lt. a lot of pain. You will come now, the marine yells.

Lt. Johnson looks utterly defeated and begins to walk tothe brig. The other pilots and deckhands in the hangerbay begin to talk about Lt. Johnson's remarks. The area sounds like a stadium during a Pyrimad game.

Chief Hanson yells, "Hey get back to work." One of the deckhands, Specialist Frances replies, "Sir is that true."

Chief Hanson replies, "I do not frakkin know, and until we do get your knuckledraggin asses back to work. The Commander will make the call, move it now ladies."

(OOC: well human's don't send off signals when they die... :) )

Her death could have even been set up to cause a rift between our people, as you saw Lt. Johnson's anger towards you.
"It seems we now have another problem." I noted as I calmed down. And I also frowned in worry. The lady managed to slip past my own Force senses! If that's the case, we have a big problem on our hands...

Dr. Stephens looks at one of the marine detachment that came with him. "Have Lt. Johnson isolated immediatly until I have a moment to speak to him. We do not need him telling the crew what happened, causing them undue stress, as well as feelings of revenge.

Dr. Stephens places his glasses on the table. "Might I ask if you have something a little stronger, I really need a stiff drink, he asks., his face looking very grim."
I gave a small smile. "You and me both, Doctor." I pointed to a serving-nin. "You. Fire Whiskey. Now."

"Aye, Masaki-sama." The young ninja disappeared and returned with a bottle of a rather potent drink known as Fire Whiskey and two clean glasses. It gets its name for an obvious and not so obvious reason. It does burn down your throat, and if you know how, you can even use it to breathe fire like a dragon or a Katon technique. I poured the shots myself.

"Gifted Coredians can usually tell if something's off about someone, but this time, the Cylons, if she turns out to be one, slipped past our senses." I noted, sipping the drink and feeling it burn all the way to my stomach. "Good drink, but don't get addicted. You'll really burn up. Anyway, so that's a troublesome thing, because someone who can do that would violate security so badly, you'd think it was a rape. And let's not even imagine what our enemies, the Empire could do if they get their hands on the Cylons. One of a Coredian's favorite phrases seems appropriate. 'I have a bad feeling about this.'"

=====

Tsunade sighed as the woman died under her hands. Now she ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death...

Dr. Stephens took his shot, and slammed it down in a fashion that only a true colonial can. His face twitched as it went down, as he inhaled. "That is good stuff." he stated.

"The cylon threat is worse than you know, he replies. If there is a resserection ship in range, she will download and be able to tell them where you are. They will make new models, and they will come and infiltrate your systems. This is of very much concern for you since you employ the use of AI's so much. They will turn your entire computer systems against you, make your robot's turn against you, your ships will at best powerdown, and at worse begin to target your civilization. They are a grave threat."
"To make matters worse, the skin model cylons are alive dispite how our military thinks of them. They can reproduce, with humans, and on a genetic level are almost completely identical. The only clues you can have are the fact that their blood cells are shaped slighly different than humans, and when their bodies are cremated, they leave behind a silicate residue. They are almost immune to radiation, and every time they die, they resserect. Unless you kill their resserection ship that is." he states.

Dr. Stephens pours himself another drink, and takes the shot.

"So far our intellegence has found out that currently there are twelve humanoid models, but we only know what three of them look like," he states.

"We have one in custody onboard an aging battlestar, and to make matters worse, she was impregnated by a human. Only the gods know what this child will be." he stated. (((OOC: his information is old Hera has been born, and is about 2 years old)))

(OOC: Your medical examiner will find she died of a brain hemerage, and her blood type is slightly unusual. Besides that she seems completly human.)

"Rocky's not going to like this." I muttered to myself, referring to my astromech droid. "Well, we do have things like restraining bolts, which actually restrain our droids. Something that I'm sure you were missing when your Cylons rebelled. Not to mention memory wipes are common whenever they change owners. On the issue of computer hacking, every single warship has a firewall and electronic warfare systems to counter AI incursions. They're powerful enough that you have to actually physically hack into them, and even then, it's not guaranteed to be successful. Still, I'll take your warnings into consideration, tighten our security even more."

"Ah. In that case, destroying these resurrection ships will be top priority in any engagement." I said.

Dr. Stephens pours himself another drink, and takes the shot.

"So far our intellegence has found out that currently there are twelve humanoid models, but we only know what three of them look like," he states.
"Interesting." I said. "In that case, give us a profile of the three you know. As for the rest, we'll have to figure something out about that."

"We have one in custody onboard an aging battlestar, and to make matters worse, she was impregnated by a human. Only the gods know what this child will be." he stated. (((OOC: his information is old Hera has been born, and is about 2 years old)))
I nodded. "And that's assuming he or she would survive your people's wrath."

Naruto piped up. "I know for a fact that the kid's going to have a very tough life. People will likely, openly want to kill the kid, and assuming he/she manages to grow up, they will treat the kid like trash. That could easily drive him/her into the enemy's camp, unless something is done about that."

I nodded. Naruto has a soft spot for people like that, since his village did the same thing to him as he grew up. I wonder...

(OOC: Your medical examiner will find she died of abrain hemerage, and her blood type is slightly unusual. Besides that she seems completly human.)
"Ma'am. Autopsy complete. She's almost completely normal. Died of cerebral hemmorhage. But there are some anomalies. For one thing, there's silicate in her body, which is highly unusual. Also, her blood type is different from baseline human. Here is the report."

"Intruging." Tsunade said. "I'm going back to the Mansion."

"All right. What should we do with the stiff?"

"I'll ask the Colonials about that." Tsunade replied. "They may have their own cultural needs."

"All right. I'll keep it in the morgue until then." The examiner said.

"See that you do." Tsunade said, whipping her hands in a seal. She disappeared in a poof of smoke and reappeared at the Mansion doors, then walked in on us. "Doctor Stephens. I am sorry to say that Lt. Baker has died. Here's the death report. Cerebral hemmorhage and note the anomalies. How would you like the body done?"

I wonder who was going to be the one to tell her.

Dr. Stephens looked at the medical report. "This is very interesting he stated, very detailed, you must be quite the doctor. You may do with her as you wish." Dr. Stephens replied. He did not know whether or not the Emperor wished to make the cylons known, as such he did not mention them. "

"Our burial customs for officers he stated is usually burial at space, but since she died planetside you may do whatever customs for her remains that you deem appropriate. Dr. Stephens stated, with a grim tone to his voice."

Dr. Stephens then replied. "I will have the government get you the neccessary documents, but we ask that you keep it confidential. Only the highest government officals know of this, he stated."

nodded. "And that's assuming he or she would survive your people's wrath."

Naruto piped up. "I know for a fact that the kid's going to have a very tough life. People will likely, openly want to kill the kid, and assuming he/she manages to grow up, they will treat the kid like trash. That could easily drive him/her into the enemy's camp, unless something is done about that."

I nodded. Naruto has a soft spot for people like that, since his village did the same thing to him as he grew up. I wonder...


Dr. Stephens's face seemed shocked. "It is a strange tale to be honest." Dr. Stephens stated. This cylon seems to have gained the friendship and trust of the Commander of that particular battlestar. She was once a Colonial officer, and after her discovery, she openly defected to the colonials. Not only that, but on several instances she saved that particular battlestar from the cylons, by reversing viruses, and giving us valuable intellegence on them."

Dr. Stephens drank his next shot.

"Needless to say she is free to move around on that battlestar, and her child will be raised there. The Colonial government has deemed this a high prioirty, so we can see what this child is, in an enviroment that is non-hostile, or threatening. We can also see how the cylon operates, there motives, and gain valuable insight. It has been a worthwhile experiment."

Dr. Stephens smiles. "Unfortunatly this is not my area of expertise, so what I know comes from collegues."

"One interesting aspect that we do know of her, is her blood has the ability to cure genetic diseases. This by itself is reason to keep her around." (They took blood samples from the fetus in the womb)

Dr. Stephens looked at the medical report. "This is very interesting he stated, very detailed, you must be quite the doctor. You may do with her as you wish." Dr. Stephens replied. He did not know whether or not the Emperor wished to make the cylons known, as such he did not mention them. "

Dr. Stephens then replied. "I will have the government get you the neccessary documents, but we ask that you keep it confidential. Only the highest government officals know of this, he stated."
"All right. We usually cremate our dead, unless the family wishes otherwise. It'll go in the incinerator, then." Tsunade said, noting the telepathic *ping* I kept giving her.

What? I get headaches when you do that! She mentally growled.

The woman, she's a Cylon. Human model. I sent her.

She mentally frowned. And we didn't sense that?

Nope. I replied. Keep the body around, and see if you can figure out how to get around that.

Will do. Tsunade replied.

Dr. Stephens's face seemed shocked. "It is a strange tale to be honest." Dr. Stephens stated. This cylon seems to have gained the friendship and trust of the Commander of that particular battlestar.

Not only that, but on several instances she saved that particular battlestar from the cylons, by reversing viruses, and giving us valuable intellegence on them."
We were surprised by that and it showed. Then I smiled. "Seems not all Cylons are bad. That could help us somewhere down the road, especially on the diplomatic front. I don't relish having to commit genocide, even on the Cylons. It's not the Jedi way."

Dr. Stephens drank his next shot.

"One interesting aspect that we do know of her, is her blood has the ability to cure genetic diseases. This by itself is reason to keep her around." (They took blood samples from the fetus in the womb)
Tsunade looked like she just got sake for Christmas upon hearing that this baby can heal genetic diseases, something even bacta cannot. I shook my head.

"I want her!"

"No, Tsunade." I sweatdropped.

"Don't make me punch you, Daniel!" She growled.

"I'll fry you if you do!" I taunted. Of course, I'm treading on thin ice here. Her punches are inhuman!

"Bastard...I'll drop Katsuyu on you!" Tsunade replied. Katsuyu's the Slug Queen and as large as a building.

I looked scared. "You wouldn't."

"I would." Tsunade answered with a cheeky grin.

I thought about it for a moment. "No."

"You're brave, boy." Tsunade hissed. "But I'll have my revenge...later..."

She stormed out, ranting about 'loss of medical knowledge'. Team Seven laughed.

I just grinned and shook her head. "Don't worry. She's always like that when she loses. Still, that's an interesting ability the child has."

Dr. Stephens looked at Tsunade, when she stated she wanted the baby, and replied, "I am very sorry but we do not make a habit out of kidnapping children from their parents, even in situations such as this. It is a direct order from the president of the Colonies that no one is to tamper with this child's natural devolpment. She is of vital interest to the security of the Twelve Colonies. Outside of those on the unnamed battlestar, no one has contact with the child. However it may be possible to get you a blood sample when the child is born, during a routine medical exam, assuming of course that you share any medical advances that you find from it with us."

However when the child is old enough, and with premission of the Commander of the battlestar, the Quorium of Twelve and the President of the Colonies, and the child's parents, we may be able to allow you limited exposure to the child.

We were surprised by that and it showed. Then I smiled. "Seems not all Cylons are bad. That could help us somewhere down the road, especially on the diplomatic front. I don't relish having to commit genocide, even on the Cylons. It's not the Jedi way."


Dr. Stephens noted, "This is the only case of cylon defection ever known. Granted there maybe unknown models that are working for us, but only time will tell. For the most part they engage us immediatly and with ruthless precision. Of course I share your view of genocide, such brutality is never the answer."

Dr. Stephens then asked, "What is your history with Tsunade? Usually people never call someone in a position of power, at least in our society by their first name without some fimiliarity, and they definetly never threaten revenge."

"Too late. She already left." Sakura sighed. "I'm her apprentice, so I'll give her that message. We'll of course go through the proper channels for access to the child, should we want to see him or her."

Dr. Stephens noted, "This is the only case of cylon defection ever known. Granted there maybe unknown models that are working for us, but only time will tell. For the most part they engage us immediatly and with ruthless precision. Of course I share your view of genocide, such brutality is never the answer."
I nodded. "Indeed."

Dr. Stephens then asked, "What is your history with Tsunade? Usually people never call someone in a position of power, at least in our society by their first name without some fimiliarity, and they definetly never threaten revenge."
"When I was an apprentice, she was (and still is) on the High Council so therefore, my superior." I smiled. "She gambles alot, has a temper, drinks, and has a mean punch, but I trust her with my life and so we're on a first-name basis. Besides, she's my equal. Hokage's a title that also carries chief-of-state status, only she rules this planet and the nearby systems around it. The next Hokage..." I glanced at Naruto, who beamed. "...will also be ruling several systems. Coredian politics is way more complex than Emperor and subjects, after all. And on the revenge, it won't be anything life-threatening."

I didn't add. I hope...

Tsunade's scary sometimes.

Dr. Stephens smiles, "Sounds like Tsunade would get along great with the majority of our military. Yes your political process is probably very complex. May I ask, what is this high council, and what is it's purpose?"

"Earlier you talked of the Empire and showed us you historical documents. Tell me, how does your war with the Empire go, thisworld seems unscathed by war. After we conclude this meeting, he adds, I would like to extend a invitation for you or your representitives to come to Caprica, and meet with our government. Perhaps you can use the oppritunity to check out the embassy lot, and gain more understanding of our culture, even though it may seem somewhat primitive to you." Dr. Stephens adds.

Dr. Stephens picks up his glass of wine from earlier and takes a sip. "Is everyone on this planet a Jedi or Sith?" he asks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In deep space at the Coredian border, a small FTL flash appears. Moments later in the same proximity another FTL jump occurs, similar to the ones the Colonial or Cylon's use. They both linger for a few moments, then vanish in another FTL jump.

Dr. Stephens smiles, "Sounds like Tsunade would get along great with the majority of our military. Yes your political process is probably very complex. May I ask, what is this high council, and what is it's purpose?"
"The High Council advises the Emperor on matters of national importance. It's like a presidential cabinet in some nations, only it's for life or until they retire or step down."

"Earlier you talked of the Empire and showed us you historical documents. Tell me, how does your war with the Empire go, thisworld seems unscathed by war. After we conclude this meeting, he adds, I would like to extend a invitation for you or your representitives to come to Caprica, and meet with our government. Perhaps you can use the oppritunity to check out the embassy lot, and gain more understanding of our culture, even though it may seem somewhat primitive to you." Dr. Stephens adds.
"It's not that primitive, it has FTL." I pointed out good-naturedly, then the smile disappeared. "And the world isn't as unscathed as you think. The Empire sent a force, commanded by my sister Darth Nightshade, to invade this world a couple weeks ago. You can still see smoke coming out of places. And you'll see all over the news that my kid Travis has been captured by the Empire. It's been tough."

Dr. Stephens picks up his glass of wine from earlier and takes a sip. "Is everyone on this planet a Jedi or Sith?" he asks.
"It looks like it, but no. The Jedi are just prominent in society, like power-wielding cops." I said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In deep space at the Coredian border, a small FTL flash appears. Moments later in the same proximity another FTL jump occurs, similar to the ones the Colonial or Cylon's use. They both linger for a few moments, then vanish in another FTL jump.
A sonar bouy managed to catch the flash of FTL and sent an automated message to the Military High Command. The message stated that an unknown ship or two just arrived and recommends a search.

"How did your sister come into service for the Empire," Dr. Stephens stated as he looked at the young Emperor. This was a fasinating turn in the story as far as he was concerned. "How also did your son become their prisioner as well?" "Is there anyway that the Colonies can be helpful in the retrival of your son?"

Dr. Stephens waited for the response, this should prove to be an interesting story indeed.

"How also did your son become their prisioner as well?" "Is there anyway that the Colonies can be helpful in the retrival of your son?"

Dr. Stephens waited for the response, this should prove to be an interesting story indeed.
"Ah. That is a long and sad story, so brace yourself." I said, wondering how much I should say. Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura listened carefully, since they've been through this. "She was always a strong-willed girl and quick to anger. I can't determine exactly when she fell, but I do know that our mother's murder ten years ago contributed to it. Consumed in her grief, Fiona was approached by a Sith Lord known as Chronos and offered power, power to vanquish the man -a Jedi whom we exiled for the crime, though he was ultimately controlled by another- and needless to say, she accepted. She quickly gathered power, eventually becoming an apprentice to Emperor Palpatine, our nemesis. When she revealed herself, she called herself Darth Nightshade and..."

My throat croaked at this point as the terrible memories of my sister's crimes surfaced.

"...she was ordered to storm the Jedi Temple, much as Anakin Skywalker was ordered to do so a hundred years ago. All who were caught by the Temple assault were slaughtered, including Jedi Master Alex Regalo, a member of the High Council. Not even the initiates -children- survived. In all, six hundred perished."

"I saw the bodies. I saw how they were slaughtered. Not by bullets or lasers, but cut by the weapon she once used to protect, her lightsaber. Not to mention she used her dark powers to torture a few before death claimed them."

I sighed. "When next we met over the fourth moon of the gas giant Yavin, it was a clash of light and dark, brother against sister. Our family was torn apart by that very battle. We cut each other, inflicting a silent and ancient vow on each other that when the time comes, it would be to the death. All-out battle, winner take all."

"Time and again we clashed, fleet vs fleet, Jedi against Sith. Blood was spilt each and every time. This latest atrocity, the capture of my son, is just the latest in a long line of years of warfare, and potentially the worst. Not only is my son the heir to the Coredian Throne, but he has great potential, perhaps greater than myself." And that was saying something. People consider me the most powerful Jedi of my generation. If there is one with greater power than myself... "Needless to say, if Nightshade manages to break his spirit and turn him, the galaxy will be plunged into a terrible darkness where the Sith rule and the innocent are as dust crushed underneath the heels of the Empire."

"I believe he's strong enough to face the worst of Nightshade's horrors, but he will certainly be changed. One does not escape a Sith's torture unscathed." I grimaced, knowing the truth of that statement, with the scars on my chest to prove it. "Still, it would do well to have all the help we need to find him."

A flash of light appears next to the battlestar Hades, in orbit around the Coredian world. Moments after the quick flash of light appears, a small raptor is visible.
Soon a priority one signal is transmitted from the Raptor to the Battlestar Hades.

Battlestar Hades this is Raptor 34. 25 repeat 25 cylon basestars jumped into orbit around Aerelon. You are ordered to diviate from your current mission immediatly and join up with BSG 12,24,73 and 65 to counter the attack.

Commander Fisk, listens to the message being relayed on the speakers.

"My gods, he stated. Prepare the FTL drives immediatly and inform Dr. Stephens to prepare to be evaced."

Lt. Gallian responds, "Yes sir."

---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile at the Emperor's Palace.

Dr Stephens, "That is a very sad tale. I do hope that you find your son, safe and sound, without his mind being warped beyond repair. It sounds like these sith are not so disimilar from the cylon threat that we face. They are ruthless, and use any method they can to gain the upperhand."

The marine guard's radio begins to crackle as a voice comes overthe air waves.

This is the Hades, to the marine guarding Dr. Stephens. We need to evac Dr. Stephens immediatly. A cylon invasion of one of the colonies is underway. This is not a drill.

The marine walks up to Dr. Stephens, "Sir we have to go now."

Dr. Stephens replies, "What, this is a diplomatic conference. I am certain the colonial forces can handle it."

The marine replies, "Orders are orders sir, we have to go now."

The marine guard's radio begins to crackle as a voice comes overthe air waves.
I nodded. "Thank you. But let me warn you. The Sith are bad enough, but those who call themselves the scions of Chaos are worse. Insidious and cunning, they will offer honey to you, and only down the road will you realize that the honey is poisoned and by then, it is too late. Should you meet with them, contact us at once."

The marine walks up to Dr. Stephens, "Sir we have to go now."

Dr. Stephens replies, "What, this is a diplomatic conference. I am certain the colonial forces can handle it."

The marine replies, "Orders are orders sir, we have to go now."
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

An aide came in. "Message from the Coredia. It's not good."

I read it. The Coredia has gleaned from the Colonial comms that the Cylons have attacked one of their colonies and is requesting permission to engage. "Oh. I see. Doctor. Might I suggest the Coredia assist your Navy as a show of goodwill?"

Team Seven and the Captain prepared to go at my orders. They should get back to the Coredia ASAP at any rate.

Dr. Stephens replies to the Emperor, "Of course, I am certain that the Coredia would be a welcome addition. We could use the back up I am certain. I must return tothe ship, but if you like Emperor, you can accompany us to Colonial Space."

The Doctor looks at the marine. "Inform the Hades to send the coordinates to the Coredian Military base for the coordinates where the fleet will be forming." The marine looks at the doctor with a look like "Are you sure."

THe marine then picks up his radio handset. "Hades, this is Corperal Joseph. Dr. Stephens has requested that you send the fleet coordinates to the Coredian Military instillation. The Emperor has offered us reinforcements, and wishes to send a ship."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Commander Fisk listens to the response. "Damn diplomats, a colony is under attack and he is wasting our time.

Colonel Jackson replies, "Sir, he does have the authority to make such an order."

Commander Fisk replies, "Yes but the President did not know that the cylons would attack. Fine Lt. Gallian send the coordinates to the military instillation, and inform our good doctor, that we must leave now, or else he stays behind."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Transmission to the Coredian Military installation]

This is the Battlestar Hades to the Coredian Military installation. Be advised, our fleet has begun to form in orbit of Picion. It is the fifth planet the solar system. The fleet will move out in 30 minutes. Thank you for your assistance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Corperal Jackson replies, "Sir the transmission has been sent. We must depart now or we must stay behind. Commander Fisk's orders."

Dr. Stephens picks up his briefcase. "Thank you so much for this meeting Emperor. I look forward to our new alliance and friendship. I am sorry that this meeting was cut so short."

(OOC: Do you use AIM? If so I will tg you my name to discuss the upcoming battle.)
OOC: I don't, so just TG me the details.

IC:
"All right. You four, go with the doctor." I ordered them. "I know you want to get back to the Coredia asap."

"All right." Captain Holland nodded.

"On your offer, I'm sorry, but I do have things to do, a nation to run, so I'll take you up on your offer later. As we depart in the spirit of friendship, I shall leave you with a saying that we Jedi know by heart: May the Force Be With You." I smiled.

In the meantime, the Coredia and her fleet were sent back a message by me, ordering them to rendzevous with the Colonial fleet at Picion. They have now recieved permission to engage the Cylons.

In orbit over Picon, a massive fleet was preparing itself. 161 Battlestars, including many famous ones, Orion, Atlantia, Triton, Mercury, Pegasus, Columbia, Galactica, and Medusa. Also was an array of Gunstars, and Valykrie Destroyers. THis was by far the largest fleet assembled by the twelve Colonies, taking up 10% of the Colonial Fleet's vessels.

Admiral Nagata took command of the fleet. She began to issue orders to the fleet and divide the fleet into groups.

The Cylon fleet was much bigger than the original report had stated, 95 Basestars, all concentrating their missles at Aerolon. Although the missle defense system helf for a while, most of the surface of Aerelon had been completly nuked. The surprise attack was an outstanding success so far, but hopefully this battle will be the end of the cylon threat.

Captain Holland, once he has been transferred back to Coredia, whistled at the number of ships arrayed against the enemy. So, this is how the Colonial Navy operates. Impressive.

"All right. The Emperor has ordered us to support our new Colonial allies against the Cylon menace. To that end, we have temporarily placed ourselves under the command of the Colonial Admiral." Captain Holland spoke to all in the ship and in the motley Coredian fleet. "I expect every man and woman to do his duty and to show allies and enemy alike what it means to have the Imperial Republic in the system! Now, execute battlestations!"

The short speech finished, Captain Holland folded his arms as klaxons blared and lights went on and the crew efficiently went to their stations. "Naruto, are you ready? I suspect the enemy's going to have quite the host of fighters for you to kill."

The crackle of static that meant that Naruto's now outside the Battlestar, hovering in his X-wing, ready to lead the elite Rogue Squadron and the other squadrons into battle. "I'm ready to kick some 'toaster' ass, Captain!"

"Good. How are the kids?"

Naruto swept the Force over the apprentices of his old team. "Nervous, excited. The usual."

"All right." The Captain turned to the threat board. "Gidget. Begin scanning the system for 'Ressurection' ships, I want them marked as Priority One targets. Kengo, raise weapons and shields. Chief and Woz, prep ECCM systems and expect Cylon interference! It is possible they'll have adapted, so be careful!"

Murmurs of assent occurred around the bridge.

"As soon as the Admiral gives the order, we'll move out!"

The Coredia and her fourteen escorts were ready to strike and turn their enemy into nothing more than scrap metal. Hoo-haa!

All was quiet in space and the fleet was surprisingly calm. Like the eye of a hurricane, the terror to come was barely relized. Admiral Nagata on board the Atlantia sent a signal to all of the ships in area to begin the operation.

Pegasus was in command of Alpha group, Galactica in command of beta group, The Hades was in command of delta group.

This is Admiral Nagata to the Coredian Fleet. I would like to place your ship in command of the Omega Group. I am assigning 40 Battlestars to your command. We will attempt to jump in close to the basestars. They generally have low defensive capibilites to short range fights. Keep an eye out for the resserection ships, there will most likely be a few of them hiding in the area. Good hunting.

The fleets began to assemble. Alpha group was going to spearhead the operation, trying to drive a wedge between the cylon fleet. Beta Group would concentrate on the fighters, and heavy raiders. Delta Group was detached to attack from three different points in space to try to force the cylons to Omega Group commanded by the Battlestar Coredia.

This was an unprecidented move. One that showed ultimate trust, 40 colonial forces to be lead by an outside force, such a notion a year ago would be unthinkable, but today when a world is burning, the new ideas this race has could be the saving grace for the day.

Admiral Nagata picks up the com, this was her day. Today the cylon fleet would be destroyed, today she would be written in the history books, today once and for all humanity would survive. Although the price would be high, it was one she and many other commanders would pay.

This is Admiral Nagata. Today Aeralon was attacked by the cylon forces. I want to let you all know that I am very proud of you. Today although a world burns, we will destroy our enemy once and for all. Everyone one of you has nothing to prove. You are the best of the colonies, heroes in your own right. All of you are well trained and very disiplined. Today we will beat the toasters back and crush their electronic guts. I am not one for long speeches, but I wanted you all to know, today you will have immortality. Good luck and good hunting.

As she said that the Colonial fleet began to jump. Hundreds upon hundreds of flashes in the backdrop of space, made the outside space look like a strobe light. Who would live who would die, didn't matter so long as the goal was achieved. The total victory of the Colonies, or the Cylons would be at hand... today.

Alpha Group jumped very close to the center of the basestars. Upon the completion ofthe jump, the 45 Battlestar group began to open fire. The sky was filled with metal, as the main batteries of the battlestars began to hit the cylon baseships. Hundreds upon hundreds of Vipers began to launch out of the tubes. The fighters danced around like insects in the night. Vipers vs Raiders, dancing with deadly precision.

THe Radio was filled with mayday's as pilot after pilot was shot down.

The basestars began to coordinate to this new attack, as if they knew what was about to occur. Each basestar launched 40 missles at the incoming vipers. The missles intertwined, the spread out like a fishing net, each heading to their intended target, the small fighters.

The Battlestars flak cannons, lite up the sky. Missle after missle vanished into the night, stopping many of the incoming nuclear missles from their intended target. One nuclear missle hit the broadside of the Pegasus. A huge white light appeared, as the ship was shaken. THe outside of the starboard flightpod was on fire, but the armor held.

In the first wave of the fight, 8 battlestars are seriously wounded, 500 vipers shot down. 400 Cylon raiders were shot down, and 9 basestars were seriously damaged. The battle was just begining.

Beta Group delta group then jumped in. The sky was filled with ships of all kind, debris flying, and flak shells bouncing off the canopies ofthe fighters like a spriing rain.

The battle had begun.

(OOC: Added for emphisis ;) )
"Prepare to jump into position on my mark." Captain Holland ordered his fleet, now including the 40 Battlestars under his temporary command.

Bluish light surrounded the Coredian ships as the Shinobi on each ship prepared to initiate Shunshin Jump, an esoteric form of spacefold that will do for now until the fleet is refitted with the Colonial-style FTL, sometime down the road.

"Keep watch for resurrection ships." The Captain warned all his sensor crew. "On my mark, jump and fire at will!"

Numerous flashes of light occurred as the fleet jumped into position.

"S-foils in attack position!" Naruto ordered his X-wing squadrons. "Get ready to engage! Three flight, on me! All other fighters, keep the toasters off the fleet's backs!"

"We're in position, Holland!" Talho replied. "Should I engage the Inertia engines?"

"Not yet. We should leave that as a surprise." Holland grinned. Then alarms blared as the Cylon fleet moved to engage the Coredians. "Kengo, fire at will!"

"As ordered!" Kengo activated his weapons systems and the gunners opened fire upon the Cylons, turbolasers, railslugs and missiles lighting up the sky, while the beamlasers on the dorsal and ventral sides scoured the area, slashing into anything unfriendly in their paths. The Coredian Navy followed suit and the Wolfpacks and fighters moved swiftly to engage the enemy Raiders. Each corvette and gunship was swift and agile enough to keep up with all but the fastest fighters and in returned, their rolling and looping ensured that shots would all but miss them. The fighter squadrons covered the fleet, fighting to ensure that what Raiders or missiles did get through were easily picked off by point-defense cannons and shields alike.

The bomber squadrons stayed on the defensive, awaiting the orders that will send them screaming towards the resurrection ships, followed by a Nova destroyer or two. The Coredians were in the game and there's nothing the Cylons could do about it!

OOC: let me know when I detect a resurrection ship.

To simplify this yet attempt to keep this well written I will write from the point of view of your sensors and fighters.

As the Coredians begin to scan the sector, at the edge of your sensor range three unknown ships seem to be lurking in the background. They are sitting silent, and are not engaging into the battle.

The Pegasus Command group was taking a beating. All of the basestars began to launch missles at the 40 battlestars. The Hades was taking the worst of it. It's FTL drive was down, and more and more missles began to hit the hull, as it's flak cannons were being disabled.

The Pegasus herself, had seen better days, as her starboard flightpod was riddles with missle hits. Your scans detect it's structure was still sound, but how long she could last was anybodies guess.

The Colonial Fighers from Beta and Delta groups began to get into the fray. Missles streaked everywhere, and many ships had massive explosions. It was hard to tell who was being hit. Parts of the cylon ships were running into the Colonial Battlestars and vice versa. This was truly a chaotic battle.

[QUOTE]This is Pegasus actual to all Alpha Group, begin operation Pyrimad./QUOTE]

Moments later the Battlestars in the center of the Cylon battlefleet vanished, and reappeared on top of them. The Colonial forces continued to fire massive barages from their ship cannons, as the cylon missles flew through where the fleet originally was.

The Battlestars on the outside of the fray were begining to circle the Remaining Cylon vessels. and shooting from the outside in. THis was a dangerous formation, as it increased the rate of friendly fire.

As the Colonial forces began to shoot, three battlestars in Alpha Group exploded, sending their flight pods in every direction. One of the flight pod ran into a gunstar, completely destroying it, and two of the engines hit two basestars. THe explosions within the fray were like the fireworks on Colonial Day (4th of july equivilant).

As your fighters began to enter the engagement zone many cylon raiders began their intercept course. Your scanners detect about 800 Cylon fighters.

As they begin to get close, nine streaks begin to form under their wings, as multiple missles are going inbound to the battlestar Coredia. Radiological alarms begin to ring. As the missles launched, the cylon raiders attempted to engage the coredian fighters, firing a massive barrage of bullets at the nimble fighters. Several managed to get behind the x-wings, as they attempted to down these "new fighters". The heavy raiders had a different strategy, they were flying a collision course to the Battlestar Coredia, and towards the Coredian Fleet.

The turbo lasers were having massive damage though, as it took about 10 hits from each one to completely destroy basestar.

Total kills

14 Colonial Battlestars/ 1232 Vipers/ 132 Raptors
21 Cylon basestars/ 1023 Raiders/ 45 heavy raiders

(OOC: How am I doing,as this is the first massive battle I have ever narrated?)

OOC; You're doing great. Be sure, though, to look over your posts and check for errors.

IC:
"Captain, nuclear missiles inbound, as well as collision course from the heavy Raiders!" Gidget warned.

"Right. Take them out!" Holland ordered. Nukes, while not usually capable of hurting the shields unless in huge swarms, can still be dangerous to the smaller ships. He wondered if the Raiders had a death wish as the point-defense cannons blew them apart and the ones that didn't slammed into the shields, flaring them, but not much more.

Meanwhile, Naruto and his fighters flew into the engagement zone, dodging the shots with practiced and almost uncanny ease. The laser cannons spat deadly spears of red light into the enemy ranks, as well as tossing devastating proton and concussion missiles for added damage. Naruto winced as he felt the presence of two fighter pilots wink out, but the battle must go on! The fighters that got past the X-wings had a different problem as behind the X-wings were fast and nimble A-wings and powerful gunships, blowing the enemy away with their laser cannons and light turbolasers.

Then, at the edge of the Coredia's sensor range, three blips could barely be seen.

"Captain! Three blips, bearing 239-075, range two light-years!" Gidget yelled. "I think it's the resurrection ships!"

"That's at the very edge of our sensors." Holland mused. "Right. Send the information to the Colonials and the other ships. Defender is to detach and engage the enemy ships!"

As ordered, the Defender began to disengage from the battle, followed by a Katana, a Nova, a Strike Cruiser, a Wolfpack and the bomber squadrons with a fighter one as escorts. Once as clear as the battle would allow, the engines of the four ships and escorts glowed brighter as the ships executed a microjump, exiting hyperspace right on top of the Resurrection ships and opened fire, blasting the ships with turbolasers and even more dangerous ion cannon bolts (which can disable electronic equipment). The swan-shaped Nova unleashed it's underwing Beamcannons, sending long streams of light purple fire into the enemy, while the Katana cruiser, Strike Cruiser and Wolfpack fanned out slightly to protect the small task force against Baseships. The bombers began making runs on the enemy, while the fighters prepared to engage Cylon raiders. The resurrection ships would not last long under the Coredian onslaught, that's for sure!

At the resurrection ship location, the three ships sat silent.

Number 8, "Frak looks like they spotted us."

Number 1, "That is not possible we are defiantly outside of their draidus range.

Number 6, "It looks like the newer colonial ships seem to have an extended range. This is a dangerous predicament, I recommend we jump immediately."

Number 5, I concur, to stay will put our war effort into serious disrepair.

All of the cylons in the room nod their head, they were in agreement, it was time to leave.

-------------------------------------------------------------

On board the Battlestar Galactica:

Lt. Dualla, "Commander Adama, word from the Cordia. She has found the resurrection ships. Several of her attack craft as well as 14 Colonial Battlestars have plotted an intercept course."

Commander Adama, "They will never make it in time, the ships will jump away before they even get close, plot a jump point immediately."

Lt. Geata responded, "Jump coordinates are in sir.'

Commander Adama, "Jump"

The battlestar Galactica disappeared in a flash of light, and reappeared behind the three basestars. Turning it's main batteries on the first resurrection ship, it began to open fire. The beauty of fighting resurrection ships is that they have little to no armor and no main weapons. Moments later, the first ship was destroyed.

As the first ship was destroyed the Coredian and Colonial forces were close enough to begin to open fire. The first volleys completely destroyed the second resurrection ship. As the main guns began to turn to the third resurrection ship, it jumped away. It takes your scanners a few moments to find the last unknown target, It is in orbit around a rogue planet, about 4 light years away.

As the Resurrection ship jumps away 20 basestars jump into the area, and begin to fire missiles at the small fleet. The colonial Flack cannons begin to shoot down many of them but several make it through. The Galactica takes two hits from Nuclear warheads. The ship shakes with fury, but the armor plating is still holding. Several more warheads hits other Colonial ships, including one Gunstar. The gunstar is instantly destroyed.

327 Cylon raiders jump into the area as well, firing off smaller ship to ship nukes towards the Coredian Fleet. It seems that the cylons view the Coredians as a bigger threat than the Colonials.

----------------------------------------------------------

Back at the main battle 20 basestars jump away. The Coredia's and other battlestar's flak cannons shot down most of the cylon heavy raiders, but several continued to fly straight to the hull. As you scan their armor, you come to the conclusion they are trying to hit your hull, and bury itself within it. The Armor on the heavy raider is strong enough to pierce your hull.

Many more explosions occur, as two gunstars assigned to protect the Coredia were destroyed by the missles.

Your fighters begin to dogfight with amazing skill. They are out maneuvering some of the cylon raiders, and instantly destroying those that they hit. As they explode, your pilots notice something unusual. Instead of fuel and debris, when the cylon raiders explode internal organs and blood shoot into space. It would seem the Raiders are alive.

A red pulse comes out of one of the cylon raiders. The cylons are attempting to hack your astro-droids with a new and improved virus, one that was studied and designed to attack the Coredian fire walls, and break it's way through. Only time would tell if it will work.

Hundreds of Cylon missles were lauched by all of the Basestars. All of them were armed with Nuclear warheads. A few hit several battlestars casuing massive damage to the already fragile fleet under Admiral Cain's command. The majority of them began to fly straight toward the Battlestar Coredia. It would seem you got their attention.

Kills:

22 Battlestars/ 18 Gunstars/ 12 Valykrie Destroyers/ 1438 Vipers/ 197 Raptors
41 Basestars/ 1798 Raiders/ 197 Heavy Raiders/ 2 Resurrection ships

OOC: *GASP* It's the Bucket! *faints in glee*

IC:
The captain of the Defender knew that his ships were outnumbered four to one, but despite that, he smiled. "Engage Inertia engines!"

"Engaging!" The pilot grinned.

A nuclear missile approached the Star Destroyer. Suddenly, it missed. Several more missiles missed as well, as the Star Destroyer's entire bulk moved 'down' from the cone of fire. It was as if it acted like an oversized Colonial fighter rather than a wedge-shaped Coredian capital ship. The other four ships followed suit, their maneuverability increasing tenfold as the inertia engines activated.

"Now, attack!" The Captain ordered.

The engines of the four ships roared and the ships lept forward, firing all weapons upon a Basestar of their choosing, juking randomly to dodge enemy fire. Those weapons that didn't get dodged slammed into the shields, but the damage was reduced quite a bit. The ships circled around the Cylon Basestars, slamming broadside after broadside into each Basestar and yet moving fast enough that even the raiders had trouble keeping up with them.

That was the beauty of the engines, since they have adapted inertial compensator technology to reduce the inertia of the ships proper in order to increase speed and maneuverability. And the battlegroup Coredia was the first new fleet to fully use the engines in any great capacity, following the 8th Fleet's success at using them.

The Captain felt the acceleration and noted that the engines weren't perfect, but the feel of the ships moving and dodging felt...intense!


----------------------------------------------------------

Back at the main battle 20 basestars jump away. The Coredia's and other battlestar's flak cannons shot down most of the cylon heavy raiders, but several continued to fly straight to the hull. As you scan their armor, you come to the conclusion they are trying to hit your hull, and bury itself within it. The Armor on the heavy raider is strong enough to pierce your hull.
"Sir, the enemy keep on smashing into our shields and...hull breach! Midships Starboard!"

"Right! Marines, Chief, repel the boarders!" Captain Holland ordered.

One of the Heavy Raiders managed to get through the shields and smash into the hull of the Battlestar, allowing any of the enemies in the ship to get inside.

Unfortunately for them, there was a number of presents waiting for the Coredia as soon as they entered. Presents that include Coredian security droids (droidekas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_droids#Droidekas)), the Marine Corps and if need be, Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha and the shinobi under their command. And there was one more present if the enemy managed to breach the interior any further...

Many more explosions occur, as two gunstars assigned to protect the Coredia were destroyed by the missles.

Your fighters begin to dogfight with amazing skill. They are out maneuvering some of the cylon raiders, and instantly destroying those that they hit. As they explode, your pilots notice something unusual. Instead of fuel and debris, when the cylon raiders explode internal organs and blood shoot into space. It would seem the Raiders are alive.
"Weird." Naruto noted. The Force was lately telling him and the Jedi pilots under his command that something was off about the Raiders and the proof was the instant-dried blood and guts. "Well, something to think about later. Time to fight!"

He grinned as he decided to increase the number of friendly fighters with his trademark ability, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Several dozen fighter clones of Naruto appeared and began attacking the Cylons. They can be hit twice and they disappear, but they're just as good as the original. Hopefully, this will decimate the enemy Cylon forces...

A red pulse comes out of one of the cylon raiders. The cylons are attempting to hack your astro-droids with a new and improved virus, one that was studied and designed to attack the Coredian fire walls, and break it's way through. Only time would tell if it will work.
"SQUEEE!" Naruto's droid, Kitsune squealed in alarm as the Cylons attempted to hack into him.

"What? You've been hacked? Fight back!" Naruto shouted. He didn't particularly want to lose his buddy.

The little droid beeped in reply and began humming "Charge", anti-virus software getting to work to initiate pwnage upon the Cylon incursion. Some fighters were not so lucky, as their astromechs turned evil and started attacking their pilots, forcing them to eject their droids and fight on alone. One pilot was killed by an evil astromech and the fighter was forced to be destroyed before it could cause damage.

Then the Chief came to the rescue, sending powerful 'vaccines' into the astromechs to fight back. The Cylons were good, but definitely doesn't hold a candle to a powerful AI who's loyalty lies with the good guys.

Hundreds of Cylon missles were lauched by all of the Basestars. All of them were armed with Nuclear warheads. A few hit several battlestars casuing massive damage to the already fragile fleet under Admiral Cain's command. The majority of them began to fly straight toward the Battlestar Coredia. It would seem you got their attention.

Kills:

22 Battlestars/ 1438 Vipers/ 197 Raptors
38 Basestars/ 1798 Raiders/ 197 Heavy Raiders/ 2 Resurrection ships
"We definitely got their attention. Talho! Do your stuff!" Captain Holland ordered as the shields flared again and again from the explosions. He grimaced as he saw the sinks of one section (the one that Heavy Raider slammed into) filling almost to capacity. If this goes much longer, that section is going to collapse and we'll have to rely on the hull! At least the hull specs are good, but it won't last forever.

Like the Defender, the Battlestar Coredia activated its own Inertia engines and lept forward, weaving and bobbing to deflect enemy bombardments. With the maneuverability increased, Captain Holland began setting up his second trump card: a secret weapon on the bow.

"Kengo, how are the Yamato Cannons?" Holland asked.

"The radiation from the nukes are giving the molecular shields the boost it needs. Ready to fire on your mark!" Kengo replied. "But I do not recommend firing them at this time. Too much potential for friendly fire!"

"Very well. If you have a firing solution, let me know!"

"As ordered!" Kengo replied.

As the Coredia moved like a super-large fighter, the Weapons Officer began scanning for a solution that doesn't have the Colonials in the targeting hairs...

25 cylon Centurions quickly the heavy raider. Watching the Cooriders, they swictched their weapons to the auto cannons, all except for two. Two of the Cylon centurions grabbed a device and placed it on the bottom of the heavy raider. The device was heavy about 200 pounds, circular, and had a red pulse light protruding from it. THe other cylons began to make a run for the hallway, shooting anyone and everything in their path. The Two cylons who placed the device on the heavy raider stood guard, waiting in pure silence.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Outside the battle, the Battlestar Atlantia explodes as it rams one of the cylon basestars. THe debris field scatters in every direction hitting friend and foe alike. 13 battlestars were injured and two more were destroyed. 15 additional basestars, were either destroyed or damaged. This battle was becoming a massacre.

The half beaten Pegasus begins to transmit to the fleet:

This is the Admiral Cain on board the Pegasus, I am taking command of fleet. Continue with the current plan.

As the missles whizzed past the Battlestar Cordea, the sensors continue to pick up the feint signal of the resurrection ship, in orbit of the rogue planet. The area was littered with signals from cylons being downloaded, the casualities on both sides were high, the once empty space now looked like a galactic junk yard. The destruction of ships had reached an unprecidented level.

As your ships continued to clip the hulls of the basestars, the basestars were torn asunder. Between the firepower of the Coredian ships, and the Colonial Battlestars soon all of the basestars were destroyed. The new trick the Coredians created, was an uncaculated event, one that the cylons could not have anticipated. Shot after shot was fired, but almost all of them missed. Many of the missles locked onto another basestar that the Coredian ships were outmanuvering. The cylon friendly fire ratio sky rocketed. Soon nothing was left of the basestars but scrap metal. They did not even have time to jump away. But the battle was not over.

The remaining raiders began to jump. Flash over flash continued to occur. Only available to the Coredian sensors, all of the raiders exited the jump point in orbit around the rogue planet. This would seem to be their base, or even better their homeworld. The cylons had made their final miscaculation.

All of the heavy raiders however did not retreat, they began to make runs towards the battlestars. 97 Heavy raiders alone began to charge the Battlestar Cordia. All heading to the place where the first Heavy raider landed.

The flak cannons continued, as well as the pursuit of the viper pilots. Many were shot down, but a few made it through. Over the loud speakers , gun shots could be heard on board the Colonial ships. They have been boarded.

Kills:

35 Battlestars/ 39 gunstars / 19 valykrie destroyers/ 1679 Vipers/ 354 Raptors
Entire basestar Fleet/ 3487 Raiders/ 927 Heavy Raiders/ 2 Resurrection ships

OOC: That was a nice surprise, I am very impressed :)

25 cylon Centurions quickly the heavy raider. Watching the Cooriders, they swictched their weapons to the auto cannons, all except for two. Two of the Cylon centurions grabbed a device and placed it on the bottom of the heavy raider. The device was heavy about 200 pounds, circular, and had a red pulse light protruding from it. THe other cylons began to make a run for the hallway, shooting anyone and everything in their path. The Two cylons who placed the device on the heavy raider stood guard, waiting in pure silence.
The Droidekas were first up, unrolling themselves into the menacing cobra-like machines they are and put up their shields. Then, once they detected the intruders, they opened fire. Rapid bolts of laser energy lashed out at the Centurions, melting holes in the metal and perhaps destroying their computer cores. Those that managed to get past the destroyer droids were destroyed by Marines carrying ion blasters, which shoot blue bolts of electrified energy and regular blasters. Those, too, shoot blue bolts but aren't electrified, just burn through stuff.

A small, two-man team, slipped past the Centurions almost supernaturally, using the home-ground to their advantage as well as their powers. Sasuke and Sakura, the husband/wife Master team, noticed that the two centurions near the hull breach had a device in their Raider. A boy and a girl stood behind them.

Looks like a bomb. Sakura 'spoke' first with hand signals.

Aye. If it's a bomb, it could blow a good part of this ship. Sasuke answered silently with a scowl.

Then let's not fail, Dad. Reika answered behind them.

Right. What should we do? Reika's fellow teammate Umino Haruka asked. The third member, Keith Masaki is outside with Naruto, along with Nick Kingfisher and Kagome Outerbridge, Naruto's apprentices.

We'll have to push the ship back out with the Force. Sasuke signaled.

That will expose this side to vacuum. Haruka replied, frowning.

Then it'll be your job to close the gap. Reika said.

Oh, right. Haruka signal sheepishly.

Ready? One...two...three! Three of the four Jedi Shinobi raised their hands and focused on the Heavy Raider, willing the ship to move away from the Coredia. Haruka clapped his hands and pressed them down onto the ground. As soon as the hurricane of air threatened to suck them out into space, Haruka's alchemy powers crackled with blue electric sparks and the hole began to close...

As the missiles whizzed past the Battlestar Coredia, the sensors continue to pick up the faint signal of the resurrection ship, in orbit of the rogue planet. The area was littered with signals from cylons being downloaded, the casualities on both sides were high, the once empty space now looked like a galactic junk yard. The destruction of ships had reached an unprecedented level.
"Captain, the Cylon signals are being sent someplace just beyond our sensors." Gidget reported. "At least four light years, perhaps beyond."

"I see." Captain Holland replied as the ship shook with every movement or explosion. "We'll check it out as soon as the enemy is defeated. In the meantime, let the Colonials know about this."

"Yes, sir."

Coredia to Pegasus: We have detected Cylon signals being sent to an area of space 4 lightyears from here, but we cannot determine what it's being sent to, as it's beyond our sensors. Recommend we take a look after we crush these enemies.

"Captain, collision alarm! Heavy Raiders are trying to get through our screens!" Gidget cried out.

"Grrr. All fighters, shoot down those toasters! Repeat, shoot down the toasters!" Captain Holland growled, his temper rising.

The fighter screens didn't need to be told twice as they did everything they could to stop the bombardment, and even a couple of fighters gave their lives to ram the enemy. Still, the shields of the Battlestar acted mostly like bugs against windshields, and even the tractor beams were employed to stop the enemy cold or rip them apart by gravity shear.

Kills:

35 Battlestars/ 39 gunstars / 19 valykrie destroyers/ 1679 Vipers/ 354 Raptors
Entire basestar Fleet/ 3487 Raiders/ 927 Heavy Raiders/ 2 Resurrection ships

OOC: That was a nice surprise, I am very impressed :)
OOC: Yeah. Me too. I'm surprised that I managed to help you destroy almost the entire Cylon Fleet. If only that happened in the show!

Losses:
32 fighters (Coredia contains 72 fighters/bombers, Defender contains 60, 2 Strike Cruisers contain 36 each, 2 Katana cruisers contain 32 each, the Arashi Shinobi Cruiser carries 48. That means it's 32/376)

3 gunships, 1 corvette

All ships lightly to moderately damaged. 1 Strike Cruiser severely damaged.

(OOC: Will to be honest star destroyers vs. cylon basestars... :) Besides it is not over yet, nothing is that simple ;) )

As the last centurion died, the device under the Heavy raider armed. A countdown began 5...4...3...2...1... boom. As the jedi managed to get the heavy raider outside the entrance that it created, the bomb went off, a massive explosion detonated just outside the Battlestar Coredia. The shockwave should rock the ship, although it is highly doubtful that the ship would be destroyed, or even that highly damaged.

The heavy raiders attacking the Battlestar Cordia did not have a chance, as even though they broke through some of the flak cannons, and even dodged the fighters, the cylon heavy raiders smashed against the shield. Everytime one did a bomb went off, more massive explosions. A total of 22 cylon raiders managed to hit the shield. The light show was amazing, the Blue shield resisting the white flash of the nuclear weapons. It was quite spectacular to witness, however deadly to experience.

It took several hours to clear the battlestars of the cylon centurions, however every time they did, a colonial ship had a massive explosion occuron the inside. Every gunstar and destroyer that was boarded was instantly destroyed, as well as many flight pods blown off of several battlestars. Over 60% of the Colonial fleet was highly damaged. Only Beta group remained somewhat intact.

On board the Pegasus a transmission is recieved from the Battlestar Cordia, giving the where abouts of the cylon resurrection ship.

Admiral Cain, picks up the com, as the draidus screen sparks in a way that only star trek could replicate.

This is Admiral Cain. To any and all ships that are not too damaged to continue fighting, plot a jump point where the Resurrection ship jumped to and engage. Do not take any prisioners. I am placing Commander Adama in command of the operation.

On board Galactica, the news is heard over the wireless.

Colonel Tigh states, "What the frak is she talking about she hates you bill."

Commander Adama replies, "Maybe she is hoping we kick the bucket."

Colonel Tigh smiles, "If we do at least we will take those gods damn toasters with us."

Commander Adama picks up the com system

This is the Galactica Actual to fleet. Jump to the coordinates on my mark... and get ready for some turbulance.

Commander Adama states, "I wonder if we will receive a warm welcome?"

Colonel Tigh replies, "I will get the party hats ready sir, and has a wicked grin."

A few minutes later the Colonial Fleet jumps into orbit of the rogue planet.

(OOC: Will to be honest star destroyers vs. cylon basestars... :) Besides it is not over yet, nothing is that simple ;) )
Lol. Well, of course.

As the last centurion died, the device under the Heavy raider armed. A countdown began 5...4...3...2...1... boom. As the jedi managed to get the heavy raider to the entrance that it created, the bomb went off, a massive explosion detonated inside the Battlestar Coredia. The shockwave should rock the ship, although it is highly doubtful that the ship would be destroyed, or even that highly damaged..
The explosion, while not a nuke, still knocked the four Jedi Shinobi off their feet and made them lose their concentration. At least they managed to get the Raider outside. The explosion made the hole larger and the Jedi poured chakra onto their bodies and grabbed whatever they could grab to prevent getting sucked out into space.

"Dammit! I gotta take care of this hole!" Haruka gritted his teeth and clapped his hands again, fighting the hurricane as he poured metal from the surrounding hull into the breach. Due to the principles of Equivalent Exchange, the area will be slightly weaker overall than it was before the Raider smashed into the hull, but at least the breach was closed.

"Whew. That did it." Haruka wiped his brow.

"You did well." Sasuke patted the boy's shoulder.

"Thanks, Sensei." Haruka nodded.

"You do realize that I could have put a structural integrity field over the breach and stopped it that way!" The Chief grumbled at the boy.

"Heh. Yeah, but this way is more dramatic, not to mention better." Haruka shot back with a grin.

"Well, next time, let me do the job!" The Chief popped away, grumbling about the Jedi getting the spotlight.

The light show was amazing, the Blue shield resisting the white flash of the nuclear weapons. It was quite spectacular to witness, however deadly to experience.
"I count 22 explosions. None made it through the shields." Kengo replied.

"Good. How are the shields holding?"

"Around...85%. That hull breach and the nukes were the worst of it."

Captain Holland raised an eyebrow. "The Cylons performed better than I'd like."

"I suspected as much." Kengo nodded.

"Losses?" Captain Holland asked.

"Ah, about 25 fighters, ten more pilots EVA. We also lost three gunships and a Strike Cruiser."

"I see. Have a shuttle go around to collect the EVAs." Holland nodded. A shame we had any losses at all, but such is war.

"As ordered."

It took several hours to clear the battlestars of the cylon centurions, however every time they did, a colonial ship was nuked. Every gunstar and destroyer that was boarded was instantly destroyed, as well as many flight pods blown off of several battlestars. Over 60% of the Colonial fleet was highly damaged. Only Beta group remained somewhat intact.

On board the Pegasus a transmission is recieved from the Battlestar Coredia, giving the where abouts of the cylon resurrection ship.

Admiral Cain, picks up the com, as the draidus screen sparks in a way that only star trek could replicate.

This is Admiral Cain. To any and all ships that are not too damaged to continue fighting, plot a jump point where the Resurrection ship jumped to and engage. Do not take any prisoners. I am placing Commander Adama in command of the operation.

On board Galactica, the news is heard over the wireless.

Colonel Tigh states, "What the frak is she talking about she hates you bill."

Commander Adama replies, "Maybe she is hoping we kick the bucket."

Colonel Tigh smiles, "If we do at least we will take those gods damn toasters with us."

Commander Adama picks up the com system

This is the Galactica Actual to fleet. Jump to the coordinates on my mark... and get ready for some turbulance.

Commander Adama states, "I wonder if we will receive a warm welcome?"

Colonel Tigh replies, "I will get the party hats ready sir," and has a wicked grin.

A few minutes later the Colonial Fleet jumps into orbit of the rogue planet.
As the Lambda shuttle went around collecting the EVAs, the Captain heard the calls to arms.

"Well, it appears we can finish this battle off once and for all." Holland said, cracking his knuckles. "Make the jump!"

The Coredian fleet soon made the jump to hyperspace, arriving a minute after the Colonials did. The shuttle is hyper-capable, so no worries there.

Holland had a thought as soon as the Coredia spotted the ressurection ship. "Hail Galactica."

"Hailing!"

"Coredia to Galactica. I wish to send a fitting 'Frak you' present to the Cylons. Please leave the resurrection ship to us." Holland smiled cruelly.

"Oh, you are so cruel!" Commander Hap grinned, realizing what the Captain had in mind.

"Aye, that I am." Holland smiled.

Lol. Well, of course.


The explosion, while not a nuke, still knocked the four Jedi Shinobi off their feet and made them lose their concentration. At least they managed to get the Raider outside. The explosion made the hole larger and the Jedi poured chakra onto their bodies and grabbed whatever they could grab to prevent getting sucked out into space.

"Dammit! I gotta take care of this hole!" Haruka gritted his teeth and clapped his hands again, fighting the hurricane as he poured metal from the surrounding hull into the breach. Due to the principles of Equivalent Exchange, the area will be slightly weaker overall than it was before the Raider smashed into the hull, but at least the breach was closed.

"Whew. That did it." Haruka wiped his brow.

"You did well." Sasuke patted the boy's shoulder.

"Thanks, Sensei." Haruka nodded.

"You do realize that I could have put a structural integrity field over the breach and stopped it that way!" The Chief grumbled at the boy.

"Heh. Yeah, but this way is more dramatic, not to mention better." Haruka shot back with a grin.

"Well, next time, let me do the job!" The Chief popped away, grumbling about the Jedi getting the spotlight.


"I count 22 explosions. None made it through the shields." Kengo replied.

"Good. How are the shields holding?"

"Around...85%. That hull breach and the nukes were the worst of it."

Captain Holland raised an eyebrow. "The Cylons performed better than I'd like."

"I suspected as much." Kengo nodded.

"Losses?" Captain Holland asked.

"Ah, about 25 fighters, ten more pilots EVA. We also lost three gunships and a Strike Cruiser."

"I see. Have a shuttle go around to collect the EVAs." Holland nodded. A shame we had any losses at all, but such is war.

"As ordered."


As the Lambda shuttle went around collecting the EVAs, the Captain heard the calls to arms.

Holland had a thought as soon as the Coredia spotted the ressurection ship. "Hail Galactica."

"Hailing!"

"Coredia to Galactica. I wish to send a fitting 'Frak you' present to the Cylons. Please leave the resurrection ship to us." Holland smiled cruelly.

"Oh, you are so cruel!" Commander Hap grinned, realizing what the Captain had in mind.

"Aye, that I am." Holland smiled.

On board the Galactica the Coredian message was received.

Colonel Tigh smiled, "A frak you present hehe, looks like they are speaking our language already.

Commander Adama replies, "Yes Saul, it would appear that we have influenced them already." The Commander smiles.

Lt. Dualla replies to the Coredian vessels

Cordia Actual, this is Galactica Actual, operation Santa Clause has been approved, you may commence.

Lt. Gaeta looks strangely at Lt. Dualla. "Operation Santa Clause he asks?"

Lt. Dualla replies, "Who else gives presents randomly?" Both of them laugh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When the Battlestars entered orbit, swarms of vipers and raptors launched out of the battlestars. The sky turned black as the planes entered the atmosphere.

According to your sensors, Thousands upon thousands of Raiders and heavy raiders began to lauch from the surface. It was as if the Battle of Armegedon was about to occur, the last battle of good vs. evil.

This is Galactica Actual to all Colonial Forces, bombardment of the planetary surface is now authorized.

The Battlestars began to unload their weapons from orbit. From orbit massive craters were forming in the cylon cities. Buildings after buildings have begun to crumble into dust. Plentary debris was being shot into the atmosphere.

Over the skies of the cylon home world the vipers and raptors were engaged. Missles were flying everywhere, and unlike space flight, neither of the sides had as much manuverability. The Cylon Raiders were not used to atmospheric fighting, and as such a few crashed from trying a manuver that they could not preform. The colonies did have that advantage, but the losses were still high.

The Battlestar Cordia and her escorts began to move in cloaser to the resurrection ship. A detailed scan of the vessel shows that it's FTL is trying to spin up. In a instance, four cylon basestars appeared in a defensive formation around the resurrection ship, 1600 Raiders began to lauch form the basestars on an intercept course with the Battlestar Coredia.

On the planets surface, chaos ensued. many of the cylons began to take cover, as cylon centurions on the ground loaded their Anti Aircraft guns and missles. Missles streaked from the planets surface, taking our many Mark VII Vipers. This battle would pay a high cost in lives.


Your sensors begin to pick up somethign a bit more disturbing. The download signals were not being targeted towards the resurrection ships this time, instead the tracer signals were heading to an underground installation.

Cordia Actual, this is Galactica Actual, operation Santa Clause has been approved, you may commence.
"Operation Santa Claus." Holland smirked and shook his head. "It's a go, then."

"Enemy ship is trying to escape!" Gidget warned. "If you're going to do something, now's the time!"

"Very well. Kengo..."

"I got a firing solution for the Yamato Cannons!" Kengo announced.

"Very well. Fire!" Holland said dramatically.

Energy appeared to collect into two big barrels on the bow of the Battlestar Coredia. For an instant, it appeared as if nothing happened. Then suddenly, twin blasts of blue-white energy lashed out at the resurrection ship, each blast holding enough power to cripple or even destroy a ship like the Coredia, shields and all. It probably wouldn't matter if the Cylons had a Basestar in front, as the beams were just that powerful.

Frak you, indeed, Cylons!

To compound the problem for the Cylons, the other ships executed a nasty Alpha Strike upon the enemy's escorts and fighters, sure to blow them away as easily as they did before. The Coredian fighter and Wolfpack screens rushed forward to meet the enemy and send them to their dooms.

In the meantime, Gidget noticed that an underground facility were carrying the download signals and said as much to the Captain.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I suggest we rig the ship for orbitial bombardment." The Captain said. "Let the Colonials know of this underground facility."

"Aye, sir!"

Coredia to Galactica: Our scanners detect an underground facility that's downloading the Cylons into it. *sends coordinates* Executing ortillery bombardment.

With that, the powerful guns of the Coredia and Defender were trained on the Cylon base and a vast host of blue and green destructive light rained down upon the facility like an act of God, blowing up everything they touch and melting the crust to the point that lava begins to flow. If the Cylons thought they could escape the wrath of the Coredians, they were wrong!

OOC: I will respond in one second. Can you do me a quick favor, in the Thread the Phantom Invasion an Imperial Stardestroyer found my battlestar and gunstar. Sith is using an ion cannon against my battlestar refitted with your shields, similiar to the one on hoth. What would that do to the shields onboard the ship. I will delete this post in a bit.

Check your TGs.

Commander Adama listened to the signal sent from the Coredian vessels.

Commander Adama replies, Get our birds out of the sky, and prepare a nuclear bombardment of the planets surface.

Colonel Tigh smiled, "Yes sir. You heard him maggots, move move."

This is Galactica Actual to all Colonial vessels land your birds, and prepare a nuclear strike. Use of Nuclear Weapons have now been authorized.

Soon after the order was recieved, the Vipers shot into the sky, very quickly followed by thousands of raiders. The flak cannons took care of most of them, but many colonial vipers were lost in the initial battle.

As the Cordian beams fired, two cylon basestars jumped in the way of the beams, and were instatnly destroyed. The destruction of the basestars did little to slow down the beam, as it instantly destroyed the resurrection ship.

The Coredian bombardment was equally effective, the ground resurrection facility was soon filled with lava. The cylons could now actually die.

As the missle tubes on the colonial vessels opened, and aquired a targetting package, a transmission was sent from the planetary surface

We surrender

Commander Adama looked at Colonel Tigh. Colonel Tigh replied, so what lets nuke the hell out of them.

Commander Adama replied, not yet Saul. This war may have just ended, let's not be like them, lets hear them out.

Transmission sent to the planet's surface

This is Commander Adama, of the Colonial Fleet. Prepare a delegation to come to Galactica immediatly, and unescorted. If we detect any kind of weapons, or suspect anything we will fire every nuke we have.

Transmission to the Fleet

This is Galactica actual to all ships hold your fire, repeat hold your fire.

As the transmission is sent the remaining two basestars jump away, this time outside your scanning range.

The weapons of the Battlestar Coredia battlefleet ceased firing, but they were still hot and ready to attack at a moment's notice.

"Well, looks like they've seen the light." Captain Holland grinned. "Get Naruto on the horn and tell him to get over to Galactica."

"Aye, sir."

Coredia to Galactica: My delegate Naruto is being sent as we speak to ensure that the Cylons do not deceive you. His powers will serve you well, but it is my hope that he will not need them.

Naruto rolled over and zoomed towards Galactica as soon as the Captain's orders reached him. "Galactica, this is Commander Uzumaki. Requesting permission to land."

Lt. Gaets answers the Coredian shuttlepod

This is Galactica, you are cleared to land in the starboard flightpod. THe ball is green you have a go.

Moments later your sensors pick up one heavy raider inbound for galactica. Your scans reveal no missles and no radiation. The ship appears to be unarmed. It would appear that seven humans are onboard.

As your jedi lands, a detachment of marines is awaiting the cylon raider. AS you walk by they salute you. One marine states, we have just recieved word, the cylon representitives will be landing shortly. If you will please help us in escorting them to the briefing room.

Nitpick: It's Naruto's fighter, not a shuttle.

IC:
"All right. I'll help you escort the Cylon reps." Naruto nodded and took a look around the docking bay. Man, I still can't believe how close the designs of their Battlestar and ours are. Were it not for the Greek letters and the older look, I'd say we rush-built some and didn't tell anyone.

The cylon heavy raider begins to land in the flightpod. As it lands all of the marines, lock and load their rifles. The air is still, and the marines who were once jovial get very silent. You can feel through the force, nervousness in the air. One marine statesThis better not be another toasters gods damn trick

The door opens, and out of it a copy of each cylon model of the seven known cylons. Caprica, Boomer, D'Anna, Doral, Cavil, Simon and Leoban.

Cavil walks up to the marines, "We come in peace"he says with a smirk, "take us to your leader." Doral states, "I take it we will be going to your briefiing room, no need to show us, we know the way."

As the cylons pass through Caprica looks at Naruto. "Who are you supposed to be a priest, she asks. Do not worry, God knows we will not do anything here for you to pray over."

The marines split in two groups allowing the cylons to pass though. THe marine guards begin to follow the seven cylons through the ship to the briefing room.

When you get to the briefing room, Commander Adama, Colonel Tigh, Lt. Gaeta, and Lt. Agathon (Sharon) are sitting down. As you look at Sharon, you realize she looks exacly like one of the cylons.

If she only knew. Naruto thought with a thin smile, but said nothing, allowing his hooded cloak to show little of his face. He scanned the Cylons for weapons and yet found none, but he didn't relax, not for one moment as he knows all too well that people could hide things in the most inopportune of places. He memorized the faces of each of the Cylons and made a note to ask the Colonials who each of them are. He recognized one of them as being the late Lt. Baker, confirming the exposure.

My. And here I thought it's a Good Twin/Evil Twin story. Naruto thought lightly as he saw that Boomer and Sharon were pretty much the same except for a tiny difference in their Force signatures. He decided to stand in order to allow himself freedom in case the Cylons try something. He stood in position to let the Cylons know who he stands with: the Colonials. He waited for the meeting to begin, reaching out into the Force to search for any and all deception.

The air was so tense you could cut it with a lightsaber. For a few moments, the cylons and the colonials stared at each other. You could feel from COlonel Tigh, the urge to strangle each and every one of them, not that it took the force to see this.

Brother Cavil stepped forward. "We have decided that the attack on the colonies was a mistake, a miscaculation on our part. It would seem that we need to end this war, and stop the bloodshed on both sides."

Colonel Tigh replied, "Your gods damn right, you sorry piece of shit."

Commander Adama replied, "Saul calm down, we do not wish to insult our guests. I will accept nothing less than an unconditional surrender."

The seven cylon models looked at each other. They were not expecting such an offer. They thought that they would be left alone.

Leoban says, "That is not acceptable."

Commander Adama replies, "Ok fine, shove them out the nearest airlock and begin to bombard the planet.

Cavil replies, "Wait wait, Ok we accept, what are your terms?"

Colonel Tigh responds, "Damn and I was just about to throw a party."

Commander Adama took off his glasses. "Swear an oath to your God never to attack the colonies of kobol is my first condition. Secondly you will not be permitted to live on this planet again. It was an obvious mistake to let you go off on your own. You will instead relocate yourselves to the 12 colonies. You will not be harmed, and we will grant you full citzenship. All debts will be forgiven, and you will recive full status amongst the colonies. You will not be hindered in anyway shape or form, as long as you all and your armies get reprogrammed never to attack the colonies again.

Colonel Tigh says, "Bill you can not be serious, this is frakking insane, these toasters need to pay."

Commander Adama replies, "Saul sit down, we will talk about this later."

Colonel Tigh sits down. If he were a jedi he would be filling the room with lightning.

Commander Adama replied, you may do what you wish on the COlonies as well as have a representitive in the Quorium. I do not wish to repeat the mistakes of the past.

The cylons look at each other with confusion.

Caprica, nearly speechless replies, Is this for real, you will not destroy us, or re-enslave us?

Commander Adama replies, "No we are not cylons. And we can not wash our hands of the things we have done. The best we can do is rebuild. SIgn these documents and this will be law for both parties."

The cylons walked one by one, and signed. Colonel Tigh then remarks, "Where are the other five models."

Cavil answers him, "We do not talk about them..."

Naruto almost smiled at that. It seems that bombardment there destroyed the last of their resurrection equipment, if that guy was that scared.

Even Naruto was surprised at the terms the Colonials laid out for the Cylons, noticing that Tigh would rather have them destroyed than re-integrated into Colonial society. Then again, he doubted his own people would do any different, especially with people as interesting as the Cylons. Still, he had a mind to speak with the Commander about his objections later, especially about the difficulties of integrating the Cylons into their society.

The cylons walked one by one, and signed. Colonel Tigh then remarks, "Where are the other five models."

Cavil answers him, "We do not talk about them..."
Naruto chose the time to speak. "But of course. However, it would be prudent to have them come forth as well. After all, we don't want the peace agreement broken a minute after it was signed if these other five models decide they want to attack or something. Come, let us reason together."

Caprica looked at the Jedi. "We do not know where they are. They split from us long ago, we have no idea where they are or how to reach them. We do not even know what they look like." As you look at Caprica, she looks and acts identical to Lt. Baker, even down to the sutble movements. It was uncanny

As she said that you feel something of an uneasy feeling coming from D'Anna. Almost a nervous feeling, as if she is hiding something.

Commander Adama tells the cylons, We will send down a peacekeeping force to the planet to insure a quick and peaceful withdrawl from this planet.

As the cylons left, Colonel Tigh leaves the room in disguist.

Commander Adama picks up the com on the wall,

All hands this is the commander. We will be throwing a party tonight at 2000 Hours.

As the cylon raider left the flight pod, thousands of Vipers and Raptors descended on the Cylon homeworld. As they landed Marine troops, Hummers along with many other peices of equiptment land on the surface.

Commander Adama walks up to Naruto. Thank you son, he states. Your people have in one day ended a bloody war that has lasted 40 years. We are very grateful to you, and you are welcome to the party as well, along with anyone on your ships.

As you look around you notice a tall man walking up to the cylon in the colonial uniform holding a baby. The cylon says, "Hi Hera, come to mommy." She reaches over to the baby and picks her up. She smiles at the child, "today you will be free." she says.

(OOC: it is up to you if she has the force or not. One thing is for certain though she has one hell of a destiny.)

Caprica looked at the Jedi. "We do not know where they are. They split from us long ago, we have no idea where they are or how to reach them. We do not even know what they look like." As you look at Caprica, she looks and acts identical to Lt. Baker, even down to the sutble movements. It was uncanny.
"Ah. In that case, then everything is alright." Naruto nodded. He noticed Caprica and realized that she *was* Lt. Baker. Still a knockout, though Hinata would kill him if he did anything.

As she said that you feel something of an uneasy feeling coming from D'Anna. Almost a nervous feeling, as if she is hiding something.
Hmm. That one bears watching. Naruto thought. He made a mental note to let the Colonials know of that.

Naruto smiled as the little girl arrived with the mother. Then he had a thought. That must be the half-Cylon kid. I could sense it from here. If that's the case, the info Dr. Stephens gave us is outdated. Still...hello, what's this?

Suddenly, his eyes widened as he sent a discreete scan to Hera, but returned to normal quickly. Wow. I haven't seen that much power since Travis was born! She's going to be very interesting when she grows up. Very interesting indeed...

Commander Adama replies Certainly, come to my quarters, we can talk in private there. He begins to walk out of the briefing room. As you walk by you see Colonel Tigh's room. He is drinking heavily. You sense the force in a bottle, as it most certainly has magical properties as it never gets empty.

Commander Adama opens the door to his quarters, and pours himself a scotch. "What would you like to talk to me about Naruto?" he asks.

Naruto almost laughed when he sensed the bottomless pit of a bottle that Colonel Tigh's drinking. Heh. I wonder where he got that one.

Commander Adama opens the door to his quarters, and pours himself a scotch. "What would you like to talk to me about Naruto?" he asks.
"The treaty." Naruto said. "I have some reservations about it. Your people aren't going to simply accept the Cylons in their midst, you know. I suspect that they're going to be assassinated in short order without protection. And what would prevent the Cylons from using the treaty as a springboard to build up their forces again? Their own hate won't go away quickly. Make no mistake, I believe this is the best-case scenario you can have, but you understand my concerns."

"I know the risks, but right now we have the advantage. Commander Adama is stating. Right now they are confused, and are probably arguing and bickering about what our plans are. Some are outraged, and some will be hopeful. As long as they are divided they are conquered."

"It will also be very difficult for them to build up a navy on the colonies. I can imagine however that they will try, maybe my stealing our battlestars."

"Either way, if you make them surrender and put them through harsh conditions, it wil fuel their hate and unify them more. If we let them live alone again, they will come back again. If we treat them well and intergrate them into our society, treat them as humans, they will be too confused to act, and will never be unified again." Besides as long as they think you are new colonial ships they will not attempt to make a move against us until they can create good countermeasures. That is one thing they can not do on the twelve colonies without making technology for us as well."

"Would you like a drink Naruto?" Commander Adama asks.

"I am shocked you never asked about our cylon officer, he states. That would have been my first question to you", he smiles.

"I know the risks, but right now we have the advantage." Commander Adama is stating. "Right now they are confused, and are probably arguing and bickering about what our plans are. Some are outraged, and some will be hopeful. As long as they are divided they are conquered."

That is one thing they can not do on the twelve colonies without making technology for us as well."
Naruto understood the Commander's words. He himself lives by a similar nindo, or code of honor, after all. "You still have your work cut out for you, but in the end, I can tell you right now that through personal experience, I know it's going to bear fruit."

"Would you like a drink Naruto?" Commander Adama asks.
Naruto shrugged. "All right."

"I am shocked you never asked about our cylon officer, he states. That would have been my first question to you", he smiles.
"That's my second question, actually." Naruto smiled. "I heard some of the story from Dr. Stephens, but I'd like to hear it from you."

Commander Adama takes off his glasses. That is a long and painful story. Needless to say that when we found her after an attempted assaination attempt by one of the models, she was found on caprica. We almost killed her on sight but to our surprise she was pregnant. At first we did not believe her of course. How can a machine become pregnant?

Needless to say she was. I kept her here under lock and key, in a cell designed to hold cylon prisioners. She proved to be a valuable military tool, as she was more than willing to aid us against her own kind. Mission after mission she gave us insight and information on the cylon tactics and technology. Once she even created a virus that shut down all of the cylon vessels.

Over a period of about two years, she gained my trust. I reinstated her into the Colonial Military. She even married the pilot who knocked her up. She is part of this ship and as such she is now part of my family.

He gulps his scotch. Of course though, most of this information is classified. Our civilians do not even know the skin job cylons even exist. Of course rumors are abound, but rumors are just that rumors.

Tell me Naruto, how did you come into the service?

"And so the girl Hera becomes her daughter." Naruto nodded. He wondered if he should tell the Commander about what he sensed about the girl.

He gulps his scotch. Of course though, most of this information is classified. Our civilians do not even know the skin job cylons even exist. Of course rumors are abound, but rumors are just that rumors.
"That's good. Some secrets must be kept." Naruto nodded, drinking up the scotch.

Tell me Naruto, how did you come into the service?
"It is also a long story, and mostly sad." Naruto smiled, leafing through his memories. "Let me begin from the day I was born. On that day, a giant nine-tailed fox demon with immense power attacked my home planet of Konoha. Many Jedi and soldiers fell trying to keep it from reaching the capital city, Konohagekure. Even the father of the current Emperor, Emperor Andrew Masaki was hard-pressed until one man, a man who was known as the 4th Hokage, or Fire Shadow -in other words, leader of Konoha- rose to challenge the fox. My father, Hokage Minato Namikaze, used a powerful jutsu, or spell, to unleash one of the gods of death upon the fox, but it was too powerful for even the Shinigami to destroy, so it was sealed inside a newborn baby. Arashi gave his life in exchange for the deed and was hailed a hero. That baby grew up alone, for his mother died in childbirth and instead of hailed a hero like Arashi was, he was reviled and cursed every day of his life."

It wouldn't take a genius to know that Naruto was definitely that child as he spoke his life's story. He looked up at the Commander. "Yeah, the kid was me, his own son. I won't bore you with the details of my early life, but..." There, he gave a soft smile "...in order to be acknowledged, even negatively, by the other people of my home city, I turned to a life of pranking and even entered the local Ninja Academy in hopes that I could be acknowledged there. I was considered dense and slow-witted, although there was one who did acknowledge me, Umino Iruka. He was tough on me, but understanding as he was an orphan as well, and I looked up to him like an older brother. He didn't care if I was the carrier of the fox, he just acknowledged me as myself on the day of my graduation, at the age of twelve."

Naruto's smile grew catchy. "I was put in a Genin/Padawan or apprentice group with Sasuke-teme and Sakura-chan, my Team Seven and our sensei Kakashi. We had many adventures and challenges, but we rose above them all. I also met the son of Emperor Masaki, Daniel, who became one of my best friends. We eventually rose to the rank of Chuunin/Knight or lieutenant and defeated a powerful enemy known as Akatsuki and beat up Tak'a-Tamen, a self-styled Dark Lord and rose again to the rank of Jounin or Master after the Galactic Empire attacked and destroyed many of Coreworlds' holdings."

"Then I took on Daniel's own kid as an apprentice along with his team, and now, the circle is complete." Naruto said, echoing a famous Jedi quote. He concluded thus, "My experiences are main reason why I think this treaty is a good idea, because I know what the Cylons can go through in integrating into your society and I know that they can rise above it with honor and integrity and become a people to be reckoned with."

That is quite a story, Commander Adama replied. I can see why you are interested in the hybrid child then, you must identify with the child, being special in a unique way, yet also feared.

He took a sip of his scotch, and breathed out through his mouth.

This child is the shape of things to come, or so the cylons have told us on many occasions. They call her, "The first of God's new generation." We do not know what she is capable of, or where her loyalties will lie. I personnally think that she is just a child. Special sure, could even be a miracle, since when can machines give birth after all. Needless to say though, no one on this ship has any hard feelings that they are willing to say outloud.

In order for a ship to run properly, a ship must be a community, a family. I am the father of this family, it is my job to make sure the ship runs, and is fully capable of doing it's duty. I assume that your ships run under a similiar principle.

Tell me though, you seem to have more than a casual interest in Hera. I noticed the way you looked at her. What is it? Commander Adama stated.

"Yeah. We're like one big family onboard the Coredia, and I'd say the same for the other ships in our fleet." Naruto smiled.

"Hera has a great destiny before her, as you say. I could sense it." Naruto said. "And...she has potential. Potential to be trained in the ways of the Force, the energy field that gives us Jedi our powers. She's a child and needs her parents now, but I wonder if at some time down the road, it would be possible to train her."

Commander Adama, looks at the young jedi knight. Please understand, I do not know much about the force, nor do I wish to offend you. I can not authorize you taking this child however. When this child grows up, she if it is her choice come to your world, or with the permission of her parents at an earlier state of devolpment.

Commander Adama picks up his glass of scotch. However since you are now our allies, you may come here at anytime for 'diplomatic' talks. He smiles. We would love to have you come and visit at any time and with the permission of her parents you may speak to the child as well, as she gets older.

"I understand." Naruto nodded. "In fact, we never take in a child before puberty sets in, and even then, we need the parents' permission. And I guess I can take you up on that offer."

OOC: Actually, that's not entirely true, since most kids start the Academy at 8, but they rarely graduate before the age of twelve, so Naruto is telling the truth - from a certain point of view, that is, lol. Still, the Academy will take students of any age. However, she may manifest in times of strong emotions, so be careful.

OOC: She does fit into some future plans of mine when she gets older. Ever see the show Firefly. If you have you may get an idea of what I am talking about :)

Commander Adama replies, "I hope you do. I do enjoy conversations such as these. Will your captain and crew be attending the celebration of the wars end with us? It will be quite the party.

Any my invitation is geniune. Anytime you wish to come onboard the Galactia, please do. Our airlock will be open to you anytime."

OOC: I did not mean in the Roslin style open

OOC: Ah. I look forward to your plans, hehe!

Commander Adama replies, "I hope you do. I do enjoy conversations such as these. Will your captain and crew be attending the celebration of the wars end with us? It will be quite the party.

Any my invitation is genuine. Anytime you wish to come onboard the Galactia, please do. Our airlock will be open to you anytime."
"Hope it won't be open to space." Naruto joked. "And yeah, the others will attend the party. It's nice to have downtime once in a while."

OOC: I did not mean in the Roslin style open
OOC: LOL!

Commander Adama smiles. "So it is settled. Have anyone you wish to attend come onboard the Galactica at 2000 hours (three hours from now). THere will be food, music, dancing, and plenty of booze."

He stands up and shakes your hand. " I can not thank you enough for helping us to end this bloody war. 40 years is too long not to have peace." Adama states. "Feel free to roam about the ship at your leisure."

Three hours later, the crew of the Coredia battlefleet joined the Colonials in celebration of the end of the war, and in hopes that the war with the Empire would end just as easily, although they knew that it wouldn't. A lot of the crew would seem rather young, teenagers even, but such is the price of a war that rages for decades.

The party had already begun onboard the battlestar Galactica by the time the Coredians arrived. There was plenty of food, of almost every variety from amongst the colonies. A Bar was set up with every type of liquor imanginable. For the first time in decades, they could relax, and enjoy life, without fear of being called into battle.

As the delegates came by many colonials smiled and waved. As you look at the bar, you see a punch bowl, which was once a cylon's head (the metal kind) filled with spiked punch. Officers and enlisted alike were having a great time. People were dancing to the music in the background, people were joking, and laughing, something that was seldom heard on a battlestar until recently.

Over towards the end of the flight deck, were several tables of people playing cards. You see starbuck at one table, taking down a shot, and raking in the chips. Truly the scene was almost entoxicating.
