Anubis' Mothership, Hyperspace
.............................................En Route to Imperial Shuttle
"My lord," Her'ak said on the main screen. "The remnants of the Shol'va, Khonsu, forces are at your command."
"Good," Anubis responded to his First Prime. "The final leg of our journey commences. Now follow your god to victory!"
Four Ha'Tak-class motherships, three Al'kesh mid-range heavy attack ships, and their associated wings of death gliders leapt into hyperspace after Anubis' partially-reconstructed Mothership.
Imperial Shuttle
Someone was coming. Someone powerful.
Emperor Palpatine asked, "How many ships have their weapons powered?"
"Two ships have energy signatures matching powered weaponry, Your Majesty," Captain Bonma replied.
"Fools."
Palpatine barely registered his alarmingly smaller crew. Whatever had brought them here hadn't seen fit to bring all of his guard. Yet another reason to meet whomever was coming with strength.
He stood, and walked to the communications console. The crew scrambled out of his way in a shockingly respectful manner. They had no idea who or what was contained in the other ships, except perhaps a Jedi from the Clone Era. Another ship looked Mandalorian. If only there was enough time to properly unite the rabble behind him!
Palpatine thumbed the comms, wide band, all frequencies.
"Attention ships. There is a greater threat approaching from the" -Palpatine felt for the ripples in the Force- "Galactic Center. We must stand together or be destroyed. As this shuttle is lightly armed, I... suggest... you protect it." |

"Anyone else think it's been a bit..." Jack said."Quiet?" Daniel offered.
"I was going to say dull."
"Well, Anubis is busy defeating the other System Lords." Carter said.
"Right." Jack responded.
"And Tok'ra intelligence has Ba'al gearing up to fight Anubis." Carter continued.
"So, we're just not in the middle of the action." Jack looked around. "Does that bother anyone else?"
Carter frowned.
"Oh, I don't know. It's, uh, relaxing. Like a vacation." Daniel said.
"A year in the higher plane of existence wasn't enough for you, huh?"
Daniel sighed.
"Many have joined the ranks of the Free Jaffa while their masters fight." Teal'c countered.
"I just feel like we're missing something." Jack said.
