An Ori battleship at the Supergate.

Elysium interjected, “Samantha, we are cloaked, and I programmed our exit so that we are between the Supergate and the nearby sun. They should not be able to detect our exit from FTL. But I do not understand this. None of our plans predicted that they would all be without active shields.” Everyone looked at her in amazement.

Vanessa spoke up, even though she was not invited to contribute, and she was only a captain, “Why would you waste energy to keep your shields up when your ships are designed to terrorize planets into submission? The single plasma beam weapon on each ship is pointing forward, towards the Supergate. We could come up from behind and destroy all five ships in minutes.” Everyone looked at Vanessa like she had just sprouted angel wings. And what bothered Rodney is that she was absolutely correct. They should have planned for this contingency.

General Carter smiled at her and nodded, “Vanessa, you are definitely earning those new captains bars. The risk is that one or two ship will respond in time and then we are in trouble. You and Captain Scott to the jumper bay, now. Elysium, put up the sub-plans for Option E and order the Army Airborne troops to the jumper bays of both ships. Order the MPs and all other troops to the corridors that lead into our gate room. Distribute as many Zats as we have to the MPs. Order our best technicians who have a knack for alien technology to the jumper bays, split into five teams. Dr Zelenka will take charge of the teams. Rodney, man the Asgard transport beam console. The source is the Ori ships and the target is our gate room. Tamara, medical teams to this conference room, with stretchers. I don’t want them in the way, but they need to be close. Move, move, move.”

General Young had been monitoring the conversation from his ship, and with his extensive experience in space, running from aliens, he added, “I take it you intend to capture those ships, but they may detect the jumpers as soon as they leave our cloak. The sub-light engines of the jumpers give off radiation that can be detected when they get near the Ori ships hull, or as soon as they are not hidden by the suns radiation.”

General Carter: “Indeed Everett, you are correct, and it seems you have been reading my status reports on the Ori. But what would happen if you lost all of the military commanders on your ship? And then you suddenly lost the critical systems crews?”

General Young, “You are one devious lady. Good hunting Sam.” Soon Sam could hear the boots of the troops in the Gate room.

General Carter had been standing near Rodney, and walked over to the mezzanine railing. She looked down at the gate room and watched the troops prepare for incoming enemy, “Elysium, make sure everyone is ready for plan E. Modify it as we go.” Samantha turned to the middle console where Asgar was working the keys.
