"Full alert status, raise shields to maximum and arm weapons. I want 302 pilots ready to go, Sheppard get yourself in the pilot chair of the jumper." The lights changed as the alarm began to sound, Marks spoke up. "Sir, we're receiving multiple transmissions on the same frequency that we sent our open hail." "Play them back." [quote]"Unknown vessel, this is the United Nations Cosmos Navy Ship Andromeda. I don't know what kind of joke this is, but it isn't a funny one. We are on urgent military business, and if you are responsible for this then there will be consequences. Heave to and prepare to be boarded." [/quote] [quote]"This is Valtrix Ornus, captain of the Renatus speaking. I ask that you state your identities, intentions, and worlds of origin." [/quote] [quote] "This is the United Nations Space Command destroyer Kearsarge, hailing from Earth on behalf of the Unified Earth Government. Am I to take the addendum as a threat to a military vessel in the service of Earth and her people?" [/quote] Caldwell paused as the calls came in. Meyers was the next one to step up. "We've got multiple ships signals coming in. One of them appears to be an Aurora class." This didn't make a lot of sense. United Nations Space Command, United Nations Comsos Navy, an Aurora Class, someone calling themselves the Zerg. This didn't make a lot of sense. What was going on? Atlantis was gone, there was a weird energy spike and now there was a group of unknown ships, including an Aurora ships and some unknown planet. "Sensors are also reporting that we have no navigational fix on our current position. Nothing on what the computer has saved on Pegsasus, Ida or the Milkyway. We have no fix on where we are." Caldwell didn't like to not know what was going on. Especially when surrounded by unknown possibly hostile ships. There were too many unknown variables in play here. "Give me a channel." "Channels open sir." Caldwell hit the key on his console, activating the transmission. "This is Colonel Steven Caldwell of the Earth ship Daedalus. I'm having a little problem in that there are multiple ships here hailing from Earth, and none of them seems to know what's going on. Though I will not risk the lives of my crew, we need to figure out what's going on. I suggest we all put our respective people on it while keeping dialogue open with one another to try and learn as much about this mystery as we possibly can."
