Final assault on the Xenon, part one.

[Spoonburger]

“What time is it?”

“What type of time do you want admiral?”

“Just tell me the damn time!”

“10.15 am Goner time.”

“Thank you. Where are those Octopi?”

“I think…”

The commander is interrupted.

“Ever heard of rhetoric commander?”

Today is the day. The combined might of the peaceful races will topple the xenon in sectors 347, 472, 534, and 597. They will be relegated to 596 and several M2 class ships will keep the peace. Today is the day…

Admiral Johansson of the Argon space fleet is sitting in his chair aboard his newly built M1 colossus, “Masochist.” Novas litter the hangar like oversized children in a park, ready to brawl.
It’s quiet, no stellar winds, not even the whine of a space fly.
As the argon fleet is amassing in ore belt, the same is happening with the Paranid in Priest Rings, Boron in Hila’s Joy, Split in Family Rhonkar, and Teladi in Teladi gain. This will be an amazing tazura, a spectacle never before seen. The split and boron side by side, the argon and paranid. The Teladi will fight for the good of an empire, not the profit of a chairman. This tazura will be remembered through history. This tazura will live in legend.

Manslokkat bows to Xaar. “You will be victorious, my child. The fleet will jump to Ore belt, and join the argon…”
Transported back aboard “Priest’s Hand,” a Zeus class carrier, flagship of the paranid fleet, the command is relayed, and flashes spark all over the sector. Ships are gradually flocking to the start point.

When the “Priests hand” emerges through the east gate, spotted in the west gate is
“Universal Buckzoid” The Teladi Flagship, a condor class carrier. M6s of all types are building up in the south of the sector, playing chase to pass the time. An agonising wait.
Later, the lead Shark of the boron fleet “Queens Guardian” arrives. All that’s left to fill the gap now is the split fleet, led by the Raptor class “Hades.”
A hydra M6 is testing it’s feeble loadout on an asteroid, undergoing the taunts of several lesser paranid swarming near it.

“Sir it’s 11.00 am Goner time”

“Yes commander, yes” responds Admiral Johansson. He carries on: “The split should be here. Trust them to mess up our plans”

Just where he finishes his sentence, the iridescence of a gate entry is spotted. Here they come.
“Split say you are early!” Comes down the comm.

“Open a channel to all reachable properties” mumbles Johansson

“Aye sir”

“My friends, whether Teladi, split, paranid, boron, or argon, we are united in this cause. Our efforts today will sculpt the future of our universe, our children, our future emperors, our all empowering family leaders, the Chairmen of Companies only distant in our future. Our kings and queens. Ourselves. This day will echo through time as a day of great triumph, for we WILL be victorious. But this day will be remembered for the people who will, regrettably and undoubtedly perish in these next stazuras. Those who do die, will do so for a reason, and will die with honour. My friends, this day is more important than any other day you will ever live. Charge your jump drives, set co-ordinates to your designated sectors, and prepare for countdown. Any undocked fighters, you have 10 mizuras to return to your motherships. Prepare for the battle to commence…”

And that it does.
4 Split pythons are flitting and jerking in Thyn’s abyss, waiting for something…
Black hole sun was just is busy, 5 titans in a delta, the wings tipped by centaurs.
No-one has entered 472 for a while now, bar a few entrepreneurs looking to test their new ships.
Reports have come in that the shipyard there has been working hard to build an M0 just in case,
Reports, rumours, who knows. It’s all going to become clear in 5 mizuras.
Simultaneously the lead titan and lead python enter the system. They power away from the gate towards the centre of the sector leaving space for more ships. An M0 does dominate the sector, it’s menacing silhouette outlined by a shattered planet. A zipping sound is heard. A giant green bolt of energy tears across space, melting the first raptor’s shields, then splitting it’s hull. The ‘wings’ float off in opposite directions and dots, 7ft split warriors, decompressed and dead. The M0 turns this new super weapon on the lead titan…

If anyone has any reccomendations, comments, or just want to shout in my general direction, do so by PM or MSN, and I'll reply. It'll take a while to finish the whole story, but I think my writing is looking OK... Never written sci-fi before, I have written everything else though!

Www.johnspoems.itgo.com is where most of my stuff goes.

[raliel]

sounds excellent already!
..........just so long as there is not a rag tag fleet of the remaining tribes
of x2 journeying the universe looking for a new home led by their flagship
the Argon Carrier "Galactica"
......"by your command"......
incidently pirate Orinoco / Cylon fighter ????

[Spoonburger]

cylon fighter! Yesh, I agree. Except the cylon fighter sounds a bit cooler!

OH BTW I am not familiar with most of BSG so any coincidences are, well, coincidental. I have seen the most part of the new movie, and a few episodes of the old series. I shall have to borrow the DVD collection from my brother.

Anyway, I am working on part 2, and it'll be maybe a week... so I hope you all like it!

My english AS exam is coming up so the conclusion is postponed for a while until i've done revision.
