USS - Birkaina
Birkaine-class Starship - NCC - 11708D

Utterly massive; even in context to the infinite darkness of Space the stark gray and blue hull that defined a Royal Naval vessel dominated the space around it. Running lights along the ship illuminated it and declared what it was to the Heavens themselves; This thing, this utterly massive construct of metal and plasma and forcefield was the biggest, toughest, meanest, most brutal ship in the entire Royal Navy. The namesake of a long extinguished Commonwealth it stood as rememberance to their style of life; constant warfare.

In a twist of sick dark irony today it was not on a mission of war. But a mission of peace; a survey of this area of space as it was to the Empire at least utterly unknown. The Birkaina's long range sensory arrays and radars beeped quietly from the Engineering Deck to the top of the Command Structure; metaphasic torpedoes and missle silos utterly silent. Physically she seemed to be of kin to the ancient 21st Century 'Kirov' Battlecruiser; many many times more massive and far more advanced than that fossil would ever be she still carried the same terrifying allure, the same paralyzing fearmongering shape.

Yet they knew out there there were things far more fearful than they. Indeed the Americans feared more than just shadows and shapes; behind every cloud of dust and every ionic storm they looked and they hunted before they could be the hunted. Then the alarms blared and a great clangor arose; battlestations! Battlestations!

The cry went up and the men and women ran to them; the shields coming on line in an instant; an instant too late as the massive goldenrod missile slammed into the side of the Birkaina and she heaved with all the might of a world behind her. The sickly green light suddenly surrounded her as the shields came on; light phaser banks doing a full meter spread along her perimeter. There!

---

"Find out what the Hell hit us; open an intergalatic channel and broadcast in Galatic Standard." The orders of Jonathan Riktor came as the Birkaina swayed as though she were on a sea of water; firecontrol units rushed to seal the now contained breach and forcefields sealed off the area.

"Exterminate!" The channel was blasted as soon it opened; Galatic Standard with a whiny metallic voice. "ALL HANDS BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Viktor bellowed without question "EVASIVE MANEUVERS! Bring all phaser banks online; full meter spread! Quantum Torpedoes on standby!"

OOC: It says open; but use a good amount of sense please. I'll be NPC-ing these things assaulting moi; you can stumble across or whatever. I'm leaving the OP dilberately vague so that the story can devolpe from here.

The golden discus was both massive and small. As space vessels went it was 'conservative' and 'tradtionalist' playing on the designs that humans figured 'space ships' to look like in their even more primitive '1950s' era. These vessels were capable of transporting thousands of the most perfect race in the stars; the one race that every single race irrefuitably either hated or feared. The Daleks.

These particular Daleks were for lack of a better word some of the creatures that set the standard for what it was to be a fanatical being. These ones also currently hunted the USS - Birkaina with one singular Extermination of every living thing on the oversized fossil-shaped vessel; and the vessel itself. "Fire all weapons, direct all callibrations onto U.S.S. Birkaina, Exterminate, Exterminate!" The voice of the Dalek was both mechnical-ish and slightly annoying to those unused to it; to the Dalek's themselves it was none the better than the finest form of music. "Shielding system detected, shielding system detected!" "Open diplomatic channel!"

"Attention USS Birkaina you will stand down and be Exterminated! Exterminate!"

The Birkaina weaved; laying in to the far port side of her gravity pool before she started to dip; systems restoring as she bobbed out of the wave of another goldenrod missile only for her shields to be slammed by a full on phaser cannon broadside. "What the Hell is hitting us Admiral!?" The Tactical Officer screamed from his station as the interstellar dreadnought regained her baring on stability and reality.

"Mark - Phaser banks fire now!" The Admiral's only form of response was yet another order; the Dreadnought let loose a hail of dull copper colored beams of light which spread along the entire length of it's hull, spreading out into the vortex of space in search of a target; they hit nothing. "Prepare quantum torpedoes; began charging the Scalar Howitzer."

A ringing echo of 'Yessir' followed this while the Tactical Officer stared at the back of the Admiral's head. "As your second in command I beseech you under the 14th article of the Royal Navy. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON."

"We're the prey." The Admiral responded.

"What?"

"We've single handedly accidently become prey to the most loathed and feared beings in the universe; not the galaxy; the fucking universe." The Admiral responded calmly as day as the Birkaina shook beneath another phaser bank impact. "Return fire! Evasive Manuevers!"

With the grace of an asteroid the monolithic dreadnought slid off to the side and down, suddenly becoming oddly graceful for something it's massive size. "We just avoided another missile." TactOfficer said bluntly as he kept an eye on his tactical screen. "What are we being hunted by, precisely? Eternal Night?"

"Worse."

"There is nothing worse t---"

"They do not seek to annihilate every single living life form in the universe for the sake of nothing other than doing it. You remember your ancient history classes? That defunct government type called National Socialism?" The TactOfficer nodded. "These guys set the standard for racial purity. They want nothing more than to create their perfect universe; this perfect universe filled only with them."

"That doesn't particularly answer it but I think this'll have to wait." The Tactical Officer responded swiftly as the Birkaina shook once more.

"Pull us out!" The Admiral bellowed as he stood from his position; the helmsman moving to follow the order; under his careful direction the dreadnought shifted and began to turn tail towards their invisble foe. "Full meter spread; expend the last of the phasers. On contact follow up with quantum torpedoes and a howizter strike!" Despite the weaving and apparent retreat those who pursued them would find that the Birkaina lived up to her namesake; she like the nation she was named for lived for war and slaughter. So, shadows in the dark? Bring it on.

[Serras-Dia]

Two Cylon basestars on a routine exploration mission detected the two ships on DRADIS.

"We have two contacts on DRADIS and one of them appears to be human and is being engaged by the other ship," said a Number 4 Model named Jackson.

"Hail both vessels," said a Number 1 Model named James.

This is a vessel of the Cylon force to who are we speaking and do you require assistance?

The Saucer shook as the American Phasers slammed along it's shielded armored hull. The creatures within neither frightened nor intimidated by the return fire; quite the contrary they seemed, irritated. "Bring all weapons to bare! They will not comply! Exterminate, Exterminate, Ex-ter-min-ate!" The mechanical voice akin to the grinding or whining of a gear could be heard through out the communications systems of their intergrated battle armor. "Open diplomatic channels!"

"Attention USS-Birkaina! You will comply! You will lower shields and be exterminated! Exterminate!"

"This is a vessel of the Cylon force to who are we speaking and do you require assistance?"

"Guage new target! Exterminate Exterminate!" The response sent across the diplomatic channel that was opened to all of the cosmos in response. "We Obey!" Came the reply as the Saucer 'broke' off a smaller saucer from it's main body; this smaller vessel would stalk and find the Cylon vessel and exterminate it as well.

[Serras-Dia]

"There is a new contact on DRADIS and it is coming right towards us," shouted a Number 3.

"Launch nukes at the ship and get all of our raiders into the air," ordered the Number 1.

8 Nuclear weapons with a yield of 200 Megatons were launched at the inbound Dalek vessel and 5 squadrons on Raiders also began to strafe the vessel.

[Star Trek America]

OOC: Are you crude/low FT much? Nuclear Weapons are LOLpowerful even in FT but at no time do you need 15 of them to get your point across.

[Serras-Dia]

ooc: tehy are daleks and daleks take a lot to be destroyed and i will make it 8

(OOC: Another Dalek RP? Consider this a tag, and make sure you play the glorious Pepperpots of Death properly!)

OOC: So far he is. And Daleks are miserably easy to kill if you have proper FT weaponry. Earth doesn't. Bastic Bullets do the trick as well. By the way I want to see paragraphs out of you, Serras-Dia!

"Like hell we will you bastards! Bring it on!" That was the Tactical Officer the second the Channel opened in reply to the assasilants against them. "You are assaulting the USS - Birkaina of the Interstellar American Empire. This is a ship of His Majesty's Royal Navy and there WILL be repercussions for this belligerent action." Like so; the metaphasic torpedoes were released in a forward spread around the Birkaina; these unique weapons were quite literally capable transcending space and time, designed originally combat something not Dalek-y they'd do just as well against a DARDIS as they would against oh say, a dimensional ship. Should one of these constantly shifting metaphasic blue balls slam into the Dalekium Saucer? Good bye.

To compliment this full on assault there was another unique weapon onboard American vessels. A Scalar Howizter. Two points in space were met with coinciding beams and then, boom, no other effect other than that. It was in effect a weaponized Tesla Coil. These beams met at a point just north of the Dalek Saucer; a flash of light in the darkness, nothing more than that. After all there was no air out here to make explosions 'epic'. ...

[Serras-Dia]

ooc: you will dont worry. and DRADIS is a form of radar not a ship

"We have intercepted a communication from the Human vessel," said a Number 3

"You are assaulting the USS - Birkaina of the Interstellar American Empire. This is a ship of His Majesty's Royal Navy and there WILL be repercussions for this belligerent action."

"Hmm, this could be interesting. Get me a list of all sleeper agents in the Interstellar American Empire and get us another Basestar from the Colony," said the Number 1

"The Humans and Daleks appear to be using some sort of advanced energy weapons," said a Number 6.

"That could be an issue," said the Number 1. "Tell the colony that we might need more than one more Baseship."

The weaponry used by the Cylons had not changed much since the First Cylon War and was pretty much outdated compared to the weapons being used by the Daleks and the Americans.

[Star Trek America]

OOC: DARDIS = Dalekian TARDIS. Not firing on you. And lolwut? @ Operatives

ooc: sorry i was tired when i read that sorry, and the operative, human form cylons in deep cover throughout the galaxy, they look human, they feel human, most of them think they are human, but they are machines

OOC: Rome in advance I am helping a human nation protect them selves.
IC:

"Sir....Deleks." The Defense groups leader looked around the bridge of the Mauler and his face visibly paled. Fulma had faced the Deleks before, and they where harder to kill then most nations. He knew it was his duty as a commander in the Fulman navy, and therefore an extension of the Roman Imperuiom, to help man kind.
"Send them a brief, and I mean brief message telling them two warships are on their way to help." The Two Mualers turned in space, their gapping maws that was their front ends seeming to prject energy that ripped a hole in space. With a flash the two warships tore through the opening. As they closed a white eye apperd behind them. The All seeing eye of Carles.

Dalekium Alloy is one of the strongest materials in existence. suspectiable to almost nothing it is extrodinarily durable and resistant to just about every known type of damage known to most sentient species. Still; it is not invincible nor immortal. And the extreme heat generated by a nuclear blast manages to warp the goldenrod alloy until the melting point; after all it is practically the energy of a star concentrated on one single point in space-time.

As the intergalatic ballistic missiles exploded in the void of space there was no air for the epic explosions that nuclear weapons were known for on 'Earth'; all the same they were one of the most destructive weapons in humanities arsenal...Such a dirty filthy word; humanity.

That pink and golden little subrace that is deservant of nothing more than extermination. Inferior to the Perfect Race that was the Dalek Civilization. "Exterminate! Counterfire; bring all weapons to bare on the inferior ones! Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate!"

This order came from the main or primary Saucer; as the Mini-Saucer as effectively floating slag; it's population warped back to the primary; Drone Daleks were expendable but when it was a single assault team than it was best to conserve soldiers. Then came the booming creepiest voice possible in the entire universe and it reveberated through the mind of every single Dalek; all 4,000 of them.

"Recalibrate Weapons. Target the inferior ones with the nuclear weapons. Exterminate them all."

"We obey! We obey!" The responses came from every Dalek as they went to their stations through out the Saucer.

"Reinforcements are coming." The booming mind-voice came forth once more; omnipresent and omnipotent, shattering all but the strongest of mental barriers. "You will be exterminated!" As though to agree with this voice three Combat Saucers materilised from the Time Warp itself...

"Diplomatic channel from the Fulmans." The TactOfficer had time to say before the Birkaina was broadsided by Dalekian Phaser rays shuddering along the length of her hull. Counterfire was all but immediate as finally the first spread of quantum torpedoes were released. The difference between these and the failed metaphasics was simple; these ones worked and they worked well.

"This is Admiral Johnathan Riktor of the USS Birkania, I advise that if you are a biological entity that you withdraw your offer of assistance against these things. Believe me when I say you have no idea what it is you're dealing with. You are utterly unprepared for this combative measure. Withdraw. I appreciate your concern but the Birkaina is the mightiest vessel that this galaxy will ever see. And I assure you that no goddamn peppershaker will take her out of the cosmos!"

This of course coinicided with the arrival of more of the bloody things. "On second thought; I would utterly appreciate your reinforcement."

OOC: I never thanked you for stepping in by the way, Skaaro. So thanks.

[Serras-Dia]

"We have multiple inbound nukes from the Dalek vessel and three more Dalek vessels just arrived," said a Number Four who was monitoring DRADIS.

"Use the Raiders and our turrets to stop those nukes," ordered the Number 1.

As the nuclear weapons streaked towards the Basestar the Raiders defended their ship. Many of the nukes were shot down but a few nukes made it through the perimeter. The nukes impacted the Basestar and two of the Basestar's spokes were destroyed.

"We cant take much more of this!" said the Number 6.

"Jump us back to the Colony to repair, but before we do that connect me with the American vessel," said the Number 1.

We have suffered great damage and

need to fall back but we will return.

With that the Cylon Basestar began to spin up its FTL Drives and prepare to jump back towards the Colony.

We have suffered great damage and need to fall back but we will return.

"So be it; we will...Draw their fire; they are unlikely to allow you to retreat so easily. Daleks are not known for mercy nor remorse." When the channel closed the Admiral nodded to his helmsman. "Lay in course for the nearest Saucer. All hands; we have just went from red alert to Delta-Omega; this is the highest class on the Imperial Battle Strengent. Godspeed to all of you."

"Tactical Officer. Bring all weapons to bare at the seperation point of the main saucer and the smaller tag alongs; that'll be the weakest point in the armor system and hopefully the shields. Arm Scalar Howitzer and Quantum Torpedoes and in the name of Amon Ra; do not miss."

One of the new arrivals was the target of the American vessel and it's more potent weaponry than originally expected. Yet Daleks did not know fear; and as guessed by the Americans; they did not know mercy, they did not know remorse. Kill the wounded animal before it can become more of a threat.

"Pursue! Pursue! Pursue!" The Saucer began to manuver toward the damaged ship when the American Scalar Weaponry impacted shielding along the seperation module of the saucer. "Emergency! Emergency! Hull breech; hull breech!" They screeched but did not fear; to stations and emergency lock downs went into effect as the Dalek Saucer returned fire on the Americans; breaking off the possiblity of pursuit. They also hailed another of their brethren to assist in the extermination. "Exterminate the USS Birkaina! Exterminate!"

---

OOC: You're welcome.

[Serras-Dia]

The Cylon Basestar immediately initiated a FTL jump and disappeared from the battlefield. Its complement of Raiders followed suit and jumped away.

"We have successfully jumped back to the Colony," reported the Number 6.

"Well update them on our situation and everything we know about the Daleks and the Americans," ordered the Number 1.

Soon the Number 6 returned with the list of agents within the American Empire.

"There currently is a Number 8 as a Captain of ship in the American Fleet," said the Number 6

"Thank you for that information, this could be interesting," said the Number 1

Soon after 3 Cylon Basestars spun up their FTL drives and prepared to return to the battlefield.

[Fulma]

The Two Mualers dropped out of Hyperspace in a wash of flames. As the flamed danced along the outhulls of the ships and their shielding the noted that there was Several Deleks in system. The Two Warships ships moved to flank and protect the much larger Human ship. Once in postion they targeted the closete Delek ship with turbolaser fire and Ion cannons.

OOC: I dont have much to go on right now.

USS - Birkaina
Birkaine-class Starship
NCC - 11708D

The massive body of the Birkaina was not graceful; all the same she did her best to inlay courses to avoid the popping formations of the ships that appeared along side her just after her full phaser spread went off. "Happy to see you; welcome to Hell." The channel said simply and to the point before Birkaina noted the utilization of weapons by the new comers to the nearest Saucer just as the Scalar Howitzer discharged on contact point with the separation point...

"Sir; Scalar energy at less than 11%; we can effectively say that our trump card has been used up."

"Noted, Ensign." The Admiral responded as the vessel swung to the side releasing a spread of quantum torpedoes.

"There go the last of our quantum torpedoes and metaphasic torpedoes. We're stuck with standard photon torpedoes and phaser banks are down to 35%."

"Very well; count your shots, make them count."

[Fulma]

The Commander nodded and laughed. So welcome to hell it is? Well Fulma was hell.
"Well then, we are home!" The Lead Mualer opended fire with its Phasing Torpedos. They should be able to phase through the Deleks armour and then explode on the inside of the ships cores. The Second one moved behind her sisters ship, and was sending erngy to keep the shields up to full strength.

Unfortunately for most people just didn't seem to understand that Daleks were called the Intertemporal Empire for a reason. Phasic Torpedoes were about as effective as dick. Temporal shielding? Try phasing around something that exists in every time period on every plane. Impossible! The torpedoes exploded along the length of the shielded saucer just as the quantum torpedoes did; those doing the most damage and even that was a tad on the side of insignificant. Amassed fire; anyone?

As it stood the Daleks were now officially angry, so many inferiors so little time to exterminate!

"Recaliberate weapons! Aim for the smaller ones! Exterminate them! Exterminate!"

"We obey!" So the orders were followed; massive goldenrod missiles firing off from the Saucers toward the tiny vessels along with a full broadside of laser arrays.
