Re: Space and Battle Thread (Milky Way)
The Ingrali move once again, heading for the spot indicated over the radio. They would soon reach the Connection Room, assuming nothing stood in their way between them and it now.
Talok replies quickly to Veda given this information. I would say yes. Coming here to the bridge seems a good idea, especially since once we get into battle the hangar bays will both be vented of atmosphere to launch the modified gliders." If she looked off to her left, she would now notice that there were a half dozen small ships that appeared to be similar to Gou'ald death gliders, but were clearly different. It also seemed that there were far fewer in this bay than there was room for, meaning either there weren't that many, or the majority of them were in the other bay at the other side of the ship.
Siphon shakes his head. "No, our technology ought to be very different from UED's, though the principle remains the same. Actually, the speed of your ship just gave me an idea. The modified gliders are about the same speed, and can be remote controlled."
He turns to Daina, an idea already forming. "If we were to set off a shaped nova emp charge directly over the atmosphere of the planet, it would knock out sensor scans of the surface for several hours. More than enough time for us to make it to the gate, and leave our taunting message. Something along the lines of, 'we've detected your approach and already evacuated the planet. You can't harm them now, and we've taken your space gate, meaning you can't go home now. Take it from us... if you can and aren't too AFRAID of one measly ship holding it."
A pause and he adds, "we can rig a 302 then to transmit, buzz them and then fly off towards the gate. They have a small hyper-space generator that can get them to the gate easy enough, just not out of our galaxy. They weren't meant to travel more than about 6000 light years or so on a sustained jump. We're well within that bubble. Think it could work?"
He pauses then responds back to Torin himself. "Any kind of backup you can give would be highly appreciated. Sorry to have to drag you into what seems to be an all out war though. If we can, ideally more ships at both P3X-474 and P2C-257 would help, though if we can only get a handful more then I'd say send them to P3X-474. They are completely defenseless, they don't even know about the Draque or Enoly, let alone the Bentari or this war."
He closes the channel, then a thought occurs to him. "Daina, Ixack, you both feel like helping out on a rush job? I think I can modify several devices we have here, along with a small Asgard energy core in each to emit a shield over that gate instead of making them stabilizing thrusters. If we can, we can activate the shield and effectively block out any incoming ships, they would dial in and impact the shield. If we do that, we can also prevent them from circumventing our efforts by making another space gate. They should operate differently from normal gates since they are tied to a galaxy, not a planet. Plus we can also use the damn things ourselves if we had to in order to scout their forces. They may have just handed us the means to not only scout them, but deliver the Sangraal when it's finished."
