The Salt and Pepper Shakers from Hell [FT - Open]

This looks fun.

Federal Republic Ship Tiberius

Outside the combat zone the Tiberius watched the battle silently. On the bridge there was nothing buy the sound of instruments quietly humming, the occasional keys pressed and acknowledged. The Commander of the ship, Colonel Steven Banes looked at the occasional bright flashes that appeared in the distance. He was listening into the channel broadcasts of the Birkaina.
Without looking up, "Comms Officer"

"Yes Colonel."
"Open a channel to the Birkaina"
Comms officer Alan T Marcus quickly tapped some buttons that made some cool sounds.
"Ready when you are Colonel."

Colonel Banes cleared his throat.
"This is the Federal Republic of Mk. Steele Ship Tiberius to USS Birkaina. It looks like you're taking some damage, do you require assistance?"
While waiting for a reply Colonel Banes had CO Marcus send an encrypted datalink to nearby Federal Republic ships that were commencing reconnaissance of the area to standby for back up.

3 Cylon Basestars jumped back to the battle and immediately launched a salvo of nukes at the lead Dalek saucer.

"This Cylon Basestar group 12D we have returned to the fight," announced the Number 2 over the radio.

Right after the nukes were away all of the Raiders from the 3 Basestars launched and headed towards the Dalek saucers.

"Load all Heavy Raiders with Centurions and so we can board these saucers at the next chance," ordered the Number 1 on the lead Basestar.

The Cylon Raiders soon approached the Dalek Saucers and began strafing them with their guns.

"This is Colonel Banes requesting all available ships near this sector to jump here ASAP. This is Lima Alpha. not a drill."
The Colonel released the Comms button, several seconds later he received the acknowledgements of 7 ships.
He contemplated on whether to intervene now or never.
"Tactical Officer, what do you think of our chances of winning in this battle."

The Officer looked up from his HUD, and scratched his head.
"Some of these ships are more than a thousand times bigger than ours Colonel. While we might be outgunned, we have the advantage of being a significantly smaller target and have more agility. Odds of survival are 50-50"

"Very well then. Set a course for 3 5 2 at Max Sublight speed, shields up and weapons charged."
"Course set for 3 5 2 max speed acknowledged." replied the Navigation officer.
Col. Banes switched on the intercom for the ship.
"This is Colonel Banes, we are headed into heavy battle, this is Tactical Alert 1. All personnel report to their stations."

The Tiberius gave a slight jolt as is started its engines up and headed towards the scene.

Whoever told the inferiors that small and fast was better obviously had not figured out why the Americans were still alive. Size was an advantage when going up against Dalekian weaponry; where complex chemical explosions many times the size of a nuclear warhead took precedence; obviously this didn't show as there was no air for said explosions to spread out; as they preferred it. They were after all a civilization of precision and perfection; all the same if those overtly large goldenrod missiles DID slam into their tinier crafts? The possibility of survival if their shields buckled was very very slim.

Though even they had to admit it was getting very annoying that every bloody race in the quadrant was coming to reinforce the inferior humanoids. "Begin withdrawal. One Saucer will remain to provide a rearguard."

"We obey!" De-materialization followed; the primary saucer 'vanishing' into the Time Warp from whence it came; two secondary saucers retreating as well while the most damaged remained beyond to hold the guard and prevent pursuit, and being one of two races in the universe with the ability to transcend space-time? There was no pursuit.

The remaining Saucer opened fire, a mix of fired goldenrod missiles and laser shots toward mostly the things that thought they could just 'strafe' a Dalek vessel and the remainder was spread out accordingly among the various inferiors. "Exterminate! Exterminate! You will be exterminated!"

And to those who DID want to warp onto the Saucer? 8,000 Racial Puritans and Religious Fanatics that were damn near impossible to kill? Yes please; board.

The lead Basestar

"The Dalek Saucers appear to be retreating, their saucers are disappearing but our Raiders are taking heavy casualties," said the Number 6 at DRADIS.

"Well then, order the Raiders to fall back and form a defensive perimeter around the Basestars," ordered the Number 1.

All of the Cylon Raiders immediately pulled back and headed towards the Basestars and formed up defensive patrols.

"Alert the Colony that the battle here appears to be winding down and we might be returning soon," said the Number 1.

"Sir three of the ships just disappeared."
The Colonel sat straight up in his seat.
"Active Scanning now."
"We've got nothing sir, we haven't picked up any open windows. But I do detect some residual particles left in their wake, some exotic radiation."

Colonel Banes cursed.
"Forget about that now. There's still one ship left, Evasive maneuvers, activate all railguns and plasma weapons."
"Aye Aye." Replied the Tactical Officer

The Tiberius executed extreme dexterity while firing all her 60 railguns and 4 plasma beam weapons.

"Target hit on starboard side. Moderate damage done."
The Tiberius took random hits from the lasers. Several alarms gave a short warning.
"Shielding at 80%, small fires reported on several levels"

"Ah they pack a bit of a punch, aim for the rear of their ship, knock em out, concentrate fire."
The Tiberius swung around the Saucer and concentrated all its weapons on the rear. "It's a hit"

Admiral Riktor read off tactical analysis's as quickly as the human mind could process information. The more people appeared the more worried he became for their safety despite their not being his responsibility. He'd dealt with these things before and knew well enough how to deal with them but these idiots were jumping into a shitstorm they had no idea on the outcome of.

As the Saucers retreated and their Rear-Guard opened fire the Birkaina took impact along her shields; the technological forcefields finally crumbling beneath the Daleks firepower. The Admiral however did not breathe easy even has secondary shielding flickered online to pick up the void left by the primary shields. Indeed if anything he was more worried now. "No matter how much this seems like a route do not underestimate them!" He cried over an open channel to the welcomed reinforcing interlopers. "These things are all supra-genius capable of plotting out advanced courses of action in a matter of nano-seconds. Just because they're outnumbered does not mean they are beaten and they have others out there and those others will come back."

The message was simple and to the point as the Birkaina lurched underneath the release of her photon torpedoes.

"We aren't too concerned about that Birkaina." Replied Colonel Banes.
He turned to his tactical officer.
"Simmons, prepare to launch 5 Tactical Mk VII, simultaneously on my mark."
His Officer quickly entered in the commands and looked up.
"Fire." Colonel Banes didn't blink as he felt a slight vibration as the nuclear weapons launched and each quickly broke off into 6 warheads capable of yielding 150 megatons and 4 decoys.
The Active Warning RADAR sounded. "What i-"
A giant thump sounded and the Tiberius shook even with shields up. Colonel Banes was knocked out of his chair.
"What the hell was that?! Give me a sitrep"
"Shields down to 48% strength, minor power failures spread out through the ship, APS didn't detect the shots until it was too late."

The Saucer took the contacts with an amount of relisence, shielding finally giving out under the impact of the photon torpedoes from the Americans. "Fall back. Your work is done, the line is held." The creepy voice came and the shrill cry of 'We Obey' resounded through the goldenrod Saucer as it whirled in a semi-circle before just vanishing from Space-Time itself, Gone.

Though this was not 'over' the creepy voice returned; psychically projected into the unguarded and blasted through the Space-Time Continuum itself. "This is the Truth of God. You will all be Exterminated; I will turn your worlds into Paradise. You will be undone. Such is the Truth of God."

[OOC: Thread over being I'm the antag I guess.. I'll be back when STA and I cook up something else. Everyone who participated here can consider themselves on my list of 'Cool to RP with']

Colonel Banes snorted.
"They are as bad as my aunt when she comes over for the holiday."
His Tactical Officer looked at the HUD.
"Sir, the enemy is retreating."
The colonel looked over, "Good, I want repairs and treatment for our wounded to be underway immediately"
He observed the battlefield in silence. "Get me a bottle of tea Simmons, it's going to be a long day."

[OOC] Cool, can't wait for more.

[Serras-Dia]

"It appears that the last Dalek saucers as left," said the Number 6 at DRADIS.

"Well then, have the raiders patrol a tight perimeter around the Basestars," said the Number 1.

The Raiders began to patrol the Basestars to prevent any surprises from the Humans or the Daleks.

"Now fix any damage and get those replacement Raiders from the Colony as well as another Basestar if possible as soon as possible and get me a list of nearby planets," ordered the Number 1.

[Mk Steele]

OOC: btw if and when you guys make another RP do pm me about it, it gets kinda hard to keep track for me with all the threads going up.

[Star Trek America]

OOC: Pack it in fellows; over's over. I promise you can all fight with or against me next time. I'll PM everyone here when me and Skaaro plot out something.
