Re: Tria Class Ancient Warship
Siphon nodded.
"Alright, lets see if I can get more power for us, the air is just a tad too stale for my liking."
With that, he took off down one of the connecting service pods, correctly assuming that the in ship transports would be offline with the current power situation.
Elsewhere on the ship, Nova would soon come along what appeared to be the remains of an Ancient. The body was skeletal remnants only, and part of the rib cage appeared to be broken. A quick check to the body would reveal that a human sized hand might have been responsible for the breaks in the rib cage. A moment later, he heard a hiss behind him.
At the same time, Sho and Caitlin would find their own body, with identical results in play. However, the two of them might also notice that the two pods within the small room here were empty, the doors still left open. A further inspection revealed that said doors hadn't been opened by any mechanism, they'd been literally ripped open to get to the occupants. And that was when the two women heard something hiss behind them, followed by light footsteps coming their way.
Back on the Kara, Vanessa was monitoring the progress of her friends when suddenly she noted a hyper-space window form. After a moment, she relaxed, noting it was simply a wraith hive ship. She reached for the controls to hail, when suddenly her systems warned her that the hive had powered up weapons and was preparing to open fire.
"The hell? OK, fuck that."
She hit the controls for the shields, and quickly was glad she had as a sudden barrage of hive fire slammed into the shields. Reaching for another button, she hailed the hive.
"This is Vanessa, I am aboard the Alveran vessel Kara, currently in command. Wraith vessel I am not a threat or an enemy to you, why have you opened fire?"
Much to her shock, the hive began to launch darts, even as a female wraith replied via audio only.
"Your name means nothing to us human. Only what you can give to us."
Vanessa simply blinked in surprise before replying.
"And what would that be?"
The reply she got, just before the channel cut off and the barrage of weapons fire continued chilled her to the bone.
"Your life force. You have trespassed upon our little snack, and our property. For that, you shall be eaten as well. Looks like you have a very tasty snack on that ship with you too, I'll take great pleasure in watching both of you squirm as I eat you. Now be a good little meal and surrender when those shields drop, and they will eventually."
Left to shudder about that, Vanessa reached over and opened a private channel to Sho, listing it as a priority one urgent transmission.
Siphon meanwhile had found the power relay center, and now sat in the chair, securing the door behind him. It would take him a few moments to restore power, but he was certain he could pull it off.
