AC - Asuran Ship

[Daniel]

Daniel walked back from the Power room towards the bridge, he hadn’t been gone long mainly because all of his systems were already maximized to their potential and with all three zpms now activated there was not much else they could do to pump power into the shields or weapons. The Ashora dropped out of hyperspace and continued on at sublight speed. ”Multiple energy readings’ came a worried call from the woman stationed at the sensor console. ”Raise the shields” Daniel called immediately and the shields raised but not entirely in time as a large energy burst hit the front of the shields as they formed and caused the Ashora to shake violently. Daniel went flying as he hadn’t made it back to his command chair yet and several other crew members went fly.

A few moments passed before Daniel got back to his feet and looked at the screens surrounding the bridge. Shields were holding but from the look of the shields through the front window of the bridge he could tell they wouldn’t last long. ”ALL HANDS TO EMERGENCY STATIONS” Daniel called through the intercom. ”Fire Asgard weapons” Daniel sat down in the command chair and begun to fire drones. ”Shields down to 87%” Daniel nodded. ’Shut down all non essential systems, divert all power to Shields and weapons.

Another strike on the shield, only this time it wasn’t a weapons fire, one of the Wraith vessles had hit the Ashora’s shields head on [b]”What the hell was that!” Daniel asked wondering what had just happened as sparks begun to fly out of various consoles through out the ship ”Jenifer, keep the Ashora moving, we don’t want to take another strike like that” Daniel said as he concentrated on firing drones.

”How many targets are left” he asked as the Ashora took another violent blow. ”We’ve taken down three so far sir, The Hirana has yet to show up shields are down to 60% and we have lost main life support, running on back ups sir” Looking around Daniel hit the intercom button on his chair to contact the Loutak ”Harknes, is your ship alright to fight?”[b] he asked but all he received was a Wraith version of white noise. ”The Wraith are blocking our communications” [b]”Well find away around it then! Your on this ship for a reason”

[Matthew]

Wondering what was taking so long Matthew checked his nav screen. They would be at the location in 10 seconds. "All Hands Battlestations. Charge Asgard weapons and ready the drones." The Hirana was going to see her first action. He was also wondering why there was no communication with the Ashora or Loutak. "Take us out of hyperspace." And with a blast of light the Hirana jumped into the middle of the battle firing all her weapons at the closest Hive. After a few shots the first Hive was down leaving a total of 2 more hives and 1 cruiser left. "Target the closest hive and take some fire off the Ashora she looks pretty beat up." Matthew ran over to the secondary weapons control and activated the power booster for the Asgard weapons. The Hirana was the only ship that had this seeing as she was the Brute force of the group however without it she can fight the same levels as the others. Once the booster was on the Weapons were charged to a higher value and caused more damage.

"Contact the Ashora and let her know to take care of the cruiser. I suspect that they will be jamming us so we should be able to find a way around it. If you have to use the old fashion way and signal using the side light." After a few moments of trying the comm the officer activated an old navy system that was used on Battleships back in WWII. On the side of the Ship there was a huge laser that would use light to transmit a message in a pattern similar to morse code but with lights. All the ships have this incase of situations just like this. "Sending the message sir."

[Daniel]

The Ashora had taken a heavy beating trying to take down most of the Hives, it had done a good job and taken down a few, but now drone supplies were getting low and the Drone regeneration system couldn’t keep up with the amount that were flying out towards the Wraith ships.

”Shield status?” Daniel called out knowing they were getting low. ”Shields are down to 40% Darts from the hives have been expending all their weapons onto the shield and then doing a suicide run. We can’t take much more of this” the tech said and Daniel looked around. ”The Hirana just appeared on sensors, they appear to be moving to intersect. Wow… why don’t ours pack a punch like that” the Sensor tech said as he looked out at the virtual view of the battle field. Daniel looked across and nodded. ”The Hirana’s Asgard weapons have been seriously augmented, but they only work for a limited time at that power level. Other wise all ships would have them, but after all the Hirana is the Military ship, so they have stronger weapons. Just like we have faster drives” Daniel said looking back at the battle scene.

”Sir, we’re being contacted by the Hirana” Daniel looked over at the lady at the communications array. ”Put it on speaker then” Daniel said but the lady quickly spoke up once again. ”They are flashing a laser at us… it’s the emergency Morse code system” ”Oh… whats it say?” he asked her curiously.

”I think they want us to take down the cruiser”. Daniel looked over to the sensor view of the battle field once again. ”Take out the cruiser. Fire what drones we have left and concentrate the asgard beams onto the wraith darts” Daniel said before standing up and heading to the jumper bay. When there he walked over to his own jumper, he liked to keep one aside for his personal interests, mainly for seeing what he could do by modifying the ships systems. To start off with he made sure the cloak was converted to a shield and then quickly got to work on setting up a direct link with the Ashora instead of using radio communications. ”Marks, take my jumper over to the Hirana, tell them to patch into its communications. I’m hoping this will work” Daniel said leaving the jumper bay back to the control room as his jumper appeared on sensors flying towards the Hirana.

Capt. Harkness is sitting as he watches the ships in combat, and as his own gets ripped to shreds. After a few moments his Communications Manger says, "Sir we are picking up a weak Communicay between the other two ships, there going after the Wraith Cruiser." Capt. Harkness immediatley snapped out of his day dream and said, " Come about, and moved to attack the Cruiser, concentrate all weapons on the Cruiser, shields maximum in the front end of the ship. All unessential engery I want diverted to the shields. Attack Now!" The Loutak moved and began to attack ahead of the Asuran, and Hirana. "Wraith Hives attacking the rear end of the ship, shields lost on the rear end." Capt. Harkness said, "Keep shields up on the Front End, all Jumpers from all Ships can defend our butt"

The Loutak continued toward the Cruiser and firing. "Sir the Cruiser has sustained heavy damage, there weapons are disabled." Harkness said one thing, "Finish it off!" As the Loutak, Hirana, and AShuran attacked the Cruiser the Cruiser was destroyed. "Send a Morse Code Message to the Hirana and Ashuran that we need all nonessential personal beamed to the other ships, and that the Loutak be running on a skelton crew until repaired."

[Daniel]

Daniel was running back to the bridge as a massive strike hit the side of the Ashora, one of the remaining cruisers had lost weapons and done a suicide run on its shields. Daniel was thrown into the wall as the Ashora’s inertial dampeners flickered. ”What just happened!” Daniel called over the radio as he stood up running back to the bridge once more. ”A damaged cruiser just killed our shields. They rammed us head on, shields are down to 9 percent.” replied a worried technician.

Sitting down in his chair once more Daniel looked over to the sensors. ”How many targets are left?” he asked ”The Loutak just took out another cruiser and the Hirana are attacking the last remaining hive… The Loutak’s rear shields have collapsed and has sustained severe damage. The Hirana shields seem to be down to about 30 percent. That last ram took out our Hyperdrives when our shields almost failed” said Jenifer as she looked up from weapons control console.

”The Loutak are requesting that we beam aboard all of their non-essential crew members” Daniel looked and nodded. ”Beam aboard the Loutak’s crew” Daniel said before activating communications which had finally begun to work now that the hive blocking their communications had been destroyed. ”Capt. Harkness, we are beaming your crew now. I’m also sending over 20 of my scientists to help repair the Loutak.. We have lost Hyper-drives due to a Cruiser ramming us and killing our shields. We’re bleeding out a lot of power, I’m taking the Ashora into the planet we will need to land to fully repair” Daniel said as some of his crew beamed over to the Loutak and Daniel begun to take the Ashora towards Lantia

OT: Sorry for delaying the story, been gone....

Capt. Harkness sits in his chair on the bridge, he isn't mad, he is calm, and controlled. "Commander, we have recieved notice that the Ashora is landing on the planets surface in order to make nessicary repairs." Capt Harkness sat up in his chair, "Understood, begin scanning the surface for... well anything, if it looks hinky then I want to know about it." Capt. Harkness got out of his chair and went over to the communications station.

"Attention all vessels, this Capt. Harkness, I suggest we all land together in one area in order to keep our resources together, we have begun scanning the ground and have found a suitable spot, see you on the ground."

The Loutak began to desend to the planet....

Hi guys. Daniel, Matt, you know my character, I'd like to include a more detailed copy of his bio than other players have offered also, to explain everything up to how he arrives in the story, but not too long.

Name: Taylor Mitchell
Age: 37

Rank: Lieutenant Colonel, USAF
Ancient Gene (Y/N): Yes

Basics:
Strong and skilled but single-minded, uninterested in science and somewhat resentful of scientists other than Dingo (sorry... meant Daniel ;D), whom he calls a friend from days at the SGC. Smarter than he gives himself credit for (really).

History:
Part of SG-4 force-recon for two years with the SGC as a 1st Lieutenant, then commanded the team for 1 year after promotion to Captain. Transferred to the Area 51 research laboratories as lead test pilot for X302 project prototype "Mongoose".

Later promoted to rank of Major and head of Area 51 base security, returning to test flying later that year with the discovery of the salvaged Alteran "Time-travel Jumper" by SG-1.

Continued on as a "lab rat" at the Antarctica site chair tests and later joined the first team through the gate with the Atlantis Expedition. Mitchell was assigned command of AT-2; it was "no SG-4," the team being made up of a scientist, a lynguist and only 1 other soldier, but Taylor was content to play a part in the early expedition.

After 4 years of adventures and (unfortunately) getting to know his people a little more, AT-2 was captured by the Wraith while on a mission. Mitchell was fed upon and rejuvinated repeatedly but yielded no information until he finally managed to escape with the help of another captive, a Runner called Ronon Dex. However, Dex was killed saving Taylor's life while returning to the Stargate.

After his recovery and subsequent withdrawl from the Wraith feeding-enzyme, the then Major took a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel but decided not to rejoin the AT recon squads. Instead, he took up a position with the newly commissioned DSC-304, the Phoenix. This did not last long, though. When Atlantis came under attack from the Wraith in retaliation for random attacks by the Ancient Aurora class vessels Ashora, Loutak and Hirana, the Phoenix was recalled.

Taylor led the Phoenix' 302 wing in defence of the City, but the ship was destroyed, forcing him to land aboard her sister vessel the Daedalus. Both heavily damaged, the City was sunk while the Daedalus attempted to contact the fleet over Old Lantea...

[R4gnos]

Yeah, hope this doesn't count as a double post xP, figured my bio shud be a separate post.

On:

Metal shreiked as Taylor's unwilling F302 dropped from its swoop to the hangar deck. Rows of equipment flashed by as the pulse brakes failed. Squealing, the fighter dropped to one knee, the landing gear giving way. Lights flashed over his visor as the overheads screamed past. The '302s superstructure lurched and dropped again, this time the left wheel; the wing came down, spewing a river of hot alloy fragments along the deck.

The fighter was brakeless and turning toward a spin. Mitchell grabbed for the eject, checking the roof of the hangar bay. Damn. Holding on, Taylor could feel the Mongoose slow slightly, then more. As the rear wall leered nearer, the Colonel tensed up tightly. His stomach somersaulted. Friction shook the now sideways ship to a standstill; the good wing ceasing to be with a crunch against the armoured hangar. Taylor blew the canopy as a man clambered up the severely damaged control surface toward the cockpit.

"Permission to come aboard, Boss?"

The Air-boss smiled briefly, the moment permitting, before seemingly reprimanding himself that the battle was not the time or place for humour and helping the Colonel climb out. The ship rolled into hyperspeed beneath them.

"I'd like to see Caldwell refuse that, Sir; you're lucky to be alive."

Mitchell: "You know what they say: any landing you walk away from..."

"It was an experience, Sir."

He turned and started issuing the appropriate orders to clean their huge wreck up as Mitchell looked out at the smoking scrapes, skids and burn marks along the flightway. The surviving wing was red hot on the rear edge where it had contacted the ground and sections were missing not to mention burns from laserfire.

The Daedalus groaned as millions of miles of wide open space blasted by, ablaze with the energy of a hyperspace conduit. The door to the hangar bay and the carnage inside slid partway closed behind him as he headed tot he nearest functioning comm panel.

Mitchell: "This is Colonel Mitchell to Colonel Caldwell, what's our situation?"

"Colonel Mitchell, this is the bridge. We are currently en-route to Old Lantea to meet Doctor Harrison and Colonel Collins and the Aurora fleet for help."

Bridge?

Mitchell: "Who is this? Put Caldwell on."

"Err... Sir, Colonel Caldwell is in bad shape. I'm 1st Lieutenant Gale, the ranking officer."

Mitchell: "Ranking officer? What's your station Lieutenant?"

"I'm the comm officer, Sir."

A comm officer in command? God help them.

Mitchell: "Stand by, I'm on my way."

Taylor started off at a run toward the nearest elevator. The ship was badly damaged and the situation desperately needed saving.Hard to imagine it would seem even more so when Mitchell reached the bridge.

Lately, I have read that the Asuran city-ship was a city-ship built by the Asurans to be an exact duplicate of Ancient city-ships, although it does have several differences to Atlantis. Based on Asuras, the city-ship was only a small part of a vast metropolis built by the Asurans in an effort to surpass the grandeur the Ancients had made of Atlantis. Upon probing the minds of Atlantis 1 and learning that Atlantis had not been destroyed by the Wraith, as the rest of the galaxy believed, the Asuran city-ship was sent to destroy the city.
