[b][right]USAF DAEDALUS [sup]SUPPORTING THE IMMACULATE AEGIS[/sup][/right][/b] The ship shook as a stray shot bounced on the shield. "Shields holding sir." Caldwell nodded as he continued to look at the technical readouts of the battle that was unfolding before them. Long-range was already picking up a couple of smaller ships, likely their allies coming to aide them. "Sir, picking up transmission." "On Screen." An alien creature took up the screen, and from what little information he had gathered from Falul before they had made the jump into hyperspace this individual appeared to be the leader of the Separatist fleet. "Unknown allies. While I appreciate your assistance in this matter, you would do well to remember who-" Caldwell grimaced and turned to Marks. "Marks, open a channel back. Same frequency." "Yes, Sir." Caldwell pressed the comm button when Marks nodded towards him. "Colonel Caldwell here aboard the USAF Daedalus. I know you're all high and mighty, but this isn't time to get bogged down in rank. The Shipmaster fired the first shot, and has the most powerful ship here and the greatest understanding of what is going on. If you want to survive do as he says, if not we'll be on our way. If you choose to stay we can discuss all this afterwards. Caldwell out." He let go of the key as he turned his chair to Marks as the light cruisers of the Imperial fleet broke off moving towards their fleet, obviously aiming to get in among their formation. "XO, bring us up to max thrust we're going to engage those light cruisers. Weps, target the closest cruiser and ensure you have a sensor lock on the ship that the [i]Aegis[/i] marked." The Daedalus spun, doing a loop over to the other side of the [i]Aegis[/i] in a manner befitting a much smaller ship. The Separatist leader continued to speak as fire lanced out from the Separatist vessels, bombers and fighters poured out of the ships as they began exchanging fire with the Imperials. "Shipmaster, our ships capable of targetting the vessel you indicated are beginning to do so. I have also ordered the fleet to move in on your position, if your ship can handle it I am prepared to transfer control over our droids to you. Since the shutdown order was sent out I am manually broadcasting a control signal from my vessel." Caldwell hit his comms button, hearing the plan while he was looking over the composition of the enemy fleet. "Shipmaster, don't you still have the UNSC A.I aboard? Would it be able to control them?" [hr] [right][b]DOCTOR RODNEY MCKAY [sup]IMMACULATE AEGIS[/sup][/b][/right] Rodney's earpiece crackled with the idea Caldwell was sending over to the Immaculate Aegis. Throwing down his datapad that was focused on the slipspace borer, much to the chagrin of an sangheili that gave him a look that scared him a little bit. He shouted up to Falul in the command chair. "Your ship should be able to handle the extra data input, so long as Isaac is tied directly into the communications array and given enough processing power to run the commands." [hr] [right][b]COL SHEPPARD [sup]JEDI TEMPLE[/sup][/b][/right] Sheppard looked over his back as he fired uselessly towards the Kull Warriors. Shouting back at his allies. "It's a long story, they're basically zombies with impervious armour." He grabbed another grenade out of his vest and tossed it as the troopers raised their right arms, pointing them at them as blaster bolts lanced out. The Clones between the two groups were gunned down as the Kulls didn't care what was in between them and their target. Sheppard fell back, following the path out that the operatives from the Glasgow must have taken. When he climbed into the shuttle with the rest of the team he turned to Wilkes. "My ships still at the insertion point. I need to get back too it. Trust me when this comes to an air superiority fight, we'll need the firepower." [hr] [right][b]TEYLA [sup]ALDERAAN[/sup][/b][/right] Teyla bowed her head after her fellow ambassadors had already spoken. "I am Teyla Emmagan of the house Tegan. Like the others here I am not from here, I am from a world called Athos."
