NGE: the old fleet

CHAPTER 2

Helena cain expected this unknown admiral to have an escort when coming aboard her ship, what she didn't expect was how heavily armed and armored the escort was, the all white armored figure stood out especially she guessed this was the commander of the escort, under the command of the admiral

She wondered we he agreed so quickly she could now see with her own eyes why if necessary, these men could likely fight their way out with barely any casualties if she has to guess

"Greetings I am vice admiral shinji ikari, commander of the UNSC eighteenth fleet, and commander of the orion-class assault carrier UNSC: angel down, this is spartan commander sarah palmer, my XO" I said, introducing myself and saeah who elected to growl menacingly, causing admiral cain to flinch slightly, as she watched the vice admiral stare at her non-chalantly

Little did helena know that shinji planned to tease sarah relentlessly for the animal like growl that came out of her

"I am rear-admiral helena cain, welcome aboard the pegasus admiral, I have my XO jack Fisk, this is tye battlestar galactica's commanding officer commander william adama, his XO saul tai, and this 'president' Laura roslin of the twelve colonies" helena said, I noticed her stress of the word president

"Is she or is she not the president" I asked

"Officially, yes but she was the secretary of education, and in my opinion is not fit for the role" she said, as I looked towards the president

"As secretary of education you were briefed on the what if scenario of the governor collapsing correct" I asked she nodded

"I was" she said

"Does your people willingly follow you as the president" I asked

"They do, it has either been her or I making most of the decisions for the colonial fleet" william said

"And does your people feel unsatisfied with your roles" I asked

"No" Laura said

"Then you are the president, those rules were put in place in case for the worst case scenario, and some admiral can't just come in and take over as some sort of military dictator, i would highly recommend naming a minister of defense that is within your power, if your government is anything like ours then you would be commander-in-chief of the military, act like it or name a minister of defense who will act in your stead" I said, to the president before sighing

"why is it this always happens to me" i muttered before returning my attention to admiral cain, who was frowning heavily this wasn't going well for her at all, this man in front of her knew what he was doing and what he was talking about, despite how young he looked

"now then, with that unpleasantness out of the way, tell me about these cylons and i will tell you about the UNSC, and what we are capable of" i said, helena finally smiled, this she could work with

"how about i simply showed you" she said

"be my guest" i said, she nodded and led the way, as we followed her my spartans close behind us, constantly vigilant for any attackers, as we found our way to the pegasus's brig, to a rather beautiful blond haired woman

"don't let it fool you, it has fooled many of us" she said, i however looked unimpressed

"so what is she a clone, hah, i want to introduce this woman to jessica" i said with a snort

"jessica" she asked, palmer held out her hand as a holographic woman appeared upon it, that appeared almost identical to cortana except it had longer 'hair'

"this is jessica, a smart AI, she was created at my request, i wanna say four years ago, jessica is an experimental AI intended for long term use we will see what happens in three years" i said

"why three years" helena asked

"because that is how long smart AIs last seven years, it's been four so we have three to go" i said

"i see" helena said, as she looked at the AI

"i hope there are failsafe's in place" helena said

"my master has reprogrammed me repeatedly, and should it be necessary i do have a termination failsafe in place" she said

"i have plans for her, especially after meeting the hIEs i still have kouka in cold storage, boy was she mad" i said

"it's why she is still in cold storage, at least until shinji can claim another resource, we hope to take advantage of" 

"i am not touching them, i have already told ONI this i refuse to touch them, and if they want to wipe out the entire human race, be my guest" i said

"wipe out the entire human race" helena asked worriedly

"if you ever meet the angels run like hell, honestly i am not even sure if our MAC guns can harm those things" i said

"do i want to know" helena asked

"no you would not, i have faced many different aliens, and the angels were the first and by far the worst of them, if i ever see one of them damn evangelions again it will be too damn soon, and if see unit-01, i'm gonna glass it" i said, before seeing the confused look on the colonials

"unit-01, was a human creation of the only effective weapons in harming the angels, they are the most dangerous weapons you can think of, capable of destroying the world on accident" i said

"accident" commander adama asked

"yep i'm guilty of that, i was desperately trying to save a friend of mine from an angel, and had accidently initiated an impact event which would have killed a human race, but for another EVAs intervention, but enough of my history, you want to know about the UNSC, well the united nations space command, or UNSC is a human military organization composed of several worlds, and millions of soldiers, my fleet is as i said the newly formed eighteenth fleet this doesn't count the defense fleets there are, our numbers are not small, my guards are in fact spartan IVs genetically augmented super soldiers, the second most elite within our military only bested by their predecessors the spartan IIs, who are few in number but they are the best, their creation however is why we no longer make them, i wish i was not a part of ONI at times" i said
