Suddenly a Cylon Star settles in above the City. One brief FLASH of light then nothing more detected. The Star is cloaked until it dispenses either craft or weapons. ; For now it just sits there, watching, waiting ........... Cloaked

Suddenly a Cylon Star settles in above the City. One brief FLASH of light then nothing more detected. The Star is cloaked until it dispenses either craft or weapons. For now it just sits there, watching, waiting ........... Cloaked Lexi gave the command to the Raiders and the Centurions manning the weapons "PHASE TWO BEGINS NOW" For a brief few seconds the Star is visible in the sky above Kobol as it fires off a barrage of missiles aimed at the structures on the ground. Targeting the Power Grid first, then the Government Buildings and Communications Relays. Then as quickly as the Star appeared it disappears from view but the missiles have been launched and are streaming toward the targets they have been assigned to take out. Maia is monitoring the damage assessment and reports to the Commander. "Damage is significant all over Kobol, Commander. Shall I send down the Raiders now?" Maia had her hand on the execute button waiting for permission before she sent them.

Maia is monitoring the damage assessment and reports to the Commander. "Damage is significant all over Kobol, Commander. Shall I send down the Raiders now?" Maia had her hand on the execute button waiting for permission before she sent them. missile grid came online as they began downing once 'invisible' raiders with the contingent of Colonial pilots taking off. Immediately the missile grid coming online is detected on the Star and Lexi smiles at the feeble attempt of the Meat Bags to attempt to launch against them. Licking her lips as her eyes narrowed with disdain for the 'people' on the ground below. "Send the Raiders! Phase Two is in full launch!" She watches as launch after launch leaves the Star with only a brief FLASH occuring once they break the invisibility cloak. As soon as one wave is off the STAR jumps to a different area and launches another wave. Lexi is amused by the attempt to keep up by her adversary on the ground below. "Keep Jumping" she instructs the Hybrid. Knowing that she has an unending supply of Raiders at her disposal and no lives are lost it is quite the opposite for the ground forces who are sending up actual human lives to be sacrificed. "Let them come! We have Raiders to spare, the Supreme Commander has made sure of that" Lexi is always awed by just how much ahead Kona always has been when it comes to the enemy. And with this price on her head she will not let up. Til the red eye fades, she will prevail!

Turning the keys, both ground and orbital stations transmitted a massive EMP wave that began downing raiders while aircraft landed on Kobol The Star tremored slightly as the cloak flickered in and out. Raiders that had not left the Star yet sat useless in the Landing Bay and the lights flickered then went out. It seemed like an eternity before the emergency power kicked in. "This isn't supposed to happen" Lexi was instantly mad and looking for someone to rectify this mess. She looked over at Simon "Can you get this fixed? They will try to fire on us now. I thought we were invisible." She walked to the monitors and flipped switches off then on. Waiting for something to happen.

"Yes, well, this was always a possibility." I begin to power up the batteries that were shielded from the potential of an EMP "Commander Eddie did not fully finish his creation and I was hoping it would never be disclosed but now it has been, so we adapt". I lay on the floor and hook up wiring from the batteries to the main computer display, avoiding the Commander's eyes.
Getting back up off the floor as I brush my hands and begin to press the keys on the monitoring station. "I can either reboot or program the Raiders to destroy themselves. What plan do you prefer, Commander? As I reboot the cloak again it flickers and then engages. "There, now we are invisible again. I highly doubt they will shoot another blast off."

Walking around the room as she throws all possibilities around in her head. If she destroys the Raiders they will be replaced, but she does not want the Meat Bags stealing any of the Cylon technology so there's that possibility. If she reboots the Raiders, will they function as they were designed to or will there be problems. She'd heard of Kona having problematic Raiders in past years and having to have Commander Eddie do some upgrades and with Eddie not being around any longer she wasn't sure how the ShipYards would handle a large scope mission as that.
"Simon, if we destroy the Raiders who are basically just floating out in space can I be sure there will be no possible technology left in them?" still not sure that his model knows as much as he lets on, Lexi is apprehensive about trusting him. After all, he did not even tell her it was possible that an EMP blast could get through the cloak so how trustworthy is he?

"Simon, if we destroy the Raiders who are basically just floating out in space can I be sure there will be no possible technology left in them?" Looking up from my programming task "Well, I could set the Self Destruct on them. That way there would be no chance of any tech falling into enemy hands" I hold my fingers still as I wait for her decision. "Even if they are off line like they appear to be, I can over ride that with a Systemic Reboot Class I. It will literally blow the Raiders to bits and take out any subsequent ships in the immediate vicinity. That's probably the most logical option at this point."

The Star detected weapons aimed at their direction and sounded an alarm. Lexi checked the monitor. "Do it at once, Simon! I hate losing that many Raiders but we will resupply at the ShipYards soon anyway. I believe Sully has some enhanced models that Eddie had started production on earlier" Lexi leans on the viewing glass as she sees an orange streak head their way and ricochet off the Star.
Lexi smirked at the human attempt "You may have nicked us but we aren't done yet" she next moved to the weapons array and quickly sent orders for the Scatter Array to take aim on the source of that orange streak. The Scatter Array starts powering up as soon as Simon has it back online. The whine of the massive machine can be heard throughout the Star. "Let's see how they like this" Lexi says as she presses the button sending down a white hot beam that scatters into thousands of little jolts of electricity once it breaks atmosphere. It will not only land a human on their backside but it will damage any buildings it manages to contact. Little chance it won't hit at least something down there.

"As you wish, Commander" I look down at the monitor and put in the instructions for the Systemic Reboot Class I Self Destruct Command EXECUTE
The command is sent to the Raiders and they blow up as soon as the command reaches them. Shattering into space dust. *It's all so beautiful* I watch mesmerized as Lexi sends down the next command on her console.
"Raiders vaporized, Commander" I look at her with no emotion. After all, I am a Scientist. These things mean nothing to me. It's not like they are alive.

As Lexi watches the Raiders being blown up she can't help but hate the humans even more for making her do this. She plunges her hands into the Data Stream and transmits a message to Typheous ShipYards.
DATA STREAM GLOWS: "More Raiders needed for the Ares. Arrival at Typheous 24 hours"
Lexi finishes up and takes her hands out of the goo and wipes them off. Secure in the knowledge that she will have her Raiders replaced as soon as she arrives at the ShipYards.

Staying out of things for a minute. I start getting reports of damage being relayed into the CCC. "We have sustained damage to our outer most area of one arm, Commander." I check for anything significant on the report. "Mostly just surface damage, though part of the end is missing. We can still move safely. Suggest we make repairs as soon as we get to Typheous." I look at Commander Lexi to make sure she hears me.

Lexi is stunned by hearing this report. "We have lost part of our arm?" she has never heard of this even being possible. "The Raiders are gone. The weapon has been discharged. I don't see any point in letting them try to damage us further. As soon as the Hybrid is awake we will go to the ShipYards" Lexi wonders if the Hybrid is even ok at this point. She should have jumped the Star at the first sign of trouble. *did that EMP blast somehow affect the Hybrid?* Lexi wondered.
