Alpha Site Base Stardate 54789.2

Four tractor tugs is placing a giant barrel to a cannon to the turret, inside the lead Tug a young man wearing civilan clothes and a hat just sitting at the pilot station thinking about the incident that landed him in the posting he's in now.

"Man this is the most boring assignment I've been on I mean if it wasn't for the incident I'd be the next helm officer onboard one of those Daedalus-Class Battlecrusiers 304s, and able to move from one place to the next not stay here and set a defense turret," Daniel Mitchell says as he looks at his best friend Charlie.

Charlie looks at him from his side of the Tug.

"Look buddy you didn't file the right report and it was with either this assignment or 30 years in the Penal colony in New Zealand, and I couldn't take having someone else in that chair more then you," Charlie says as he looks at Daniel from his side.

Daniel smiles at him about it and then they get back to work but then a Hyperspace Window opens and a large fleet of unknown ships appear, that has both Daniel and Charlie concerned about them when Daniel gets on the com.

"This is Ensign Daniel Mitchell to General Lane, come in General," Daniel says as he looks out the window.

On the screen General Lane appears on the screen.

"Go ahead Ensign what is it now?" General Lane says with a make shift look.

Daniel looks out the window.

"Uh sir we've got contacts appearing out of hyperspace and they don't look friendly, we're requesting that you fire the newly defense arrays they've just launched fighters what are your orders sir," Ensign Mitchell says as he looks at the screen then at the window.

General Lane looks at his crew then at the screen.

"Warn the Federation they need to know what's going on we'll be able to handle ourselves till you get back with help, and this is an order that Tug isn't equip with weapons but its our first ever Slipstream capable ship take it to Earth and warn Starfleet we'll do what we can till you return with back up General Lane out," General Lane says as the transmission cuts.

In the Tug Daniel leaves the base as the fighters head towards the surface.

Alpha Site base is at code Red as the personnel arm themselves with Phaser hand units Type-2, and Type 3B Phaser Rifles ready to repel hostile raiders and fire fight starts as the Base personnel are holding their own against the Wraith warriors, then at Starbase Atlantis Teyla has her meditation interrupted by sensing the Wraith and contacts Typhuss.

At Starfleet Command everyone is celebrating the end of the War and the soon to be launched USS Crusade with Captain Lochley at the helm, when an officer walks up to Admiral Kira and informs him of a coded Transmission from Teyla, and he left to answer the transmission.
