The ship once again shook around Ariadne as a more powerful shot struck the shields. The battle was fierce outside the [i]Langford[/i], but she was entirely ignoring it. Her host was paying attention to that aspect of the battle, making full use of their shared memories to comprehend a type of battle she had experienced very little of for herself, and would warn Ariadne if there was anything she needed to intervene with. Ariadne herself was focused on the groundside aspects of the operation. Though commanding from on high was generally not her style, she did recognise the necessity here, not to mention she would hardly be an effective leader of a small squad - she was more used to inspiring armies with the presence of their god.

She wasted no time ordering the Langarans into the offensive when Kayle’s signal came through. All across the district the Men of Langara mobilised to charge into battle to fight, and most likely die, for their world. Ariadne hardly cared that there would be casualties, as long as the battle was won and her permanent assets, the SG team, were kept relatively intact it would be a victory. From what she could see of the positions from the orbital view, the SG team would only hear the battle - such as it would be. The Langarans first wave would be slaughtered. Apparently they were bringing forward some weapons called ‘tanks,’ that would apparently neutralise the Alliance defences. That would be useful, if the Langarans could break through they could reinforce the SG team.

With the Langaran assault under way, Ariadne waited a few moments before contacting the ground team. She spoke with Idalia’s voice to avoid any undue distortion caused by the primitive Tau’ri communications technology. “The distraction has begun, enter the structure and carry out your task. Make every attempt to remain undetected, but once you are detected move with haste to the objective.”
