"Do you really think this is the only way? I know you, you don't want to take such a step, because it would essentially make the entire race your enemy," Isara asked.
All Goa'ulds are my enemies,' I pointed out to her.
But now you are preparing for total war, Egeria said.
You saw the data yourself; it couldn't be any worse. Their biological weapons are absolute. And the technology, objectively speaking, is quite good.
Yes, I agree, they need to be neutralized. How feasible is the introduction of symbionts and destabilization? – that's Zhenya's question.
Their medical technology is quite advanced, allowing them to go for long periods without seeing a doctor. "Basically, it's possible," he said, flipping through the reports. "Several civilizations have been destroyed because of the Aschen, and that's their first contact protocol: destroying anyone who's different. They think the entire galaxy belongs to them."
So you're already planning an attack on them?
Of course. There will be a full-scale deployment, which will allow for a landing on Ashen Prime.
First, the fleet needs to break through, but it will definitely do so, especially if Hydd-Ra provides several critical sabotage operations. "Yes, I've come to enjoy sabotage warfare a bit; it's evident, at least in my actions."
More agents will be needed. If they do discover them, it will jeopardize the entire operation.
There's always that threat. They use drones for military purposes. They're poor soldiers themselves, and the population has virtually no weapons reserves. It's enough to destroy the fleet and the drone control, then it'll be easy to take over the planet and take inventory. Let our entire cyberwarfare department analyze their systems. I want armies of viruses to appear in their systems during the attack, ensuring their penetration. Perhaps we need to infiltrate one of the ship's captains.
"That makes sense," Egeria agreed. "We'll get an understanding of systems, reactions, and so on, as well as military computer technology."
This will help us write viruses that can penetrate communications systems to analyze their cybernetic defenses. The attack must be on all fronts. The Immortal Army is only the visible part, while the rest of our preparations are covert. There is evidence that their heavy ships are carrying biological warheads. All such ships must be captured or destroyed. Not a single biological weapon carrier must escape.
"That's right," Isara agrees. "At the same time, they showed you that there are gaps in your defense system... Defense against biological weapons."
It exists, but is it really that comprehensive? Plus, we're protected from a lot by nanites, which will immediately alert us to any infection by unknown viruses they can't combat.
I'll definitely come up with more defensive strategies. It's a good thing the Jaffa's armor lining isolates biological agents.
Yes, it was luck. More precisely, you bought the technology to produce these suits from the Tollans.
Yes, it was a good deal.
I'm still planning this operation, but once more data comes in, I'll hand it over to headquarters so the Jaffa can develop an assault plan, assign roles, and write combat orders. They're already experienced at this and have earned a certain amount of autonomy. It will require the use of most of my fleet, as well as the use of the Huttaks as dropships, which I really don't like. Numerous drop pods will be ready for deployment.
Teleportation is teleportation, but I need to have my own trump cards. I'll also test my subordinates to see if they're capable of planetary blockades, taking into account the presence of a developed defense system and how to overcome it. Precise and controlled bombardment. There will be so many tasks to accomplish that my hair stands on end. Essentially, we're now capturing an industrialized world with a billion people. So this really is quite a feat. And I'll definitely get revenge on Morrigan for the Aschen. How much technology she left behind during her retreat! Not to mention genetic manipulation, they probably lowered their emotions to make them obedient and suggestible. Yes, someone did it all wrong. Our biggest problem is the idiots who think they can create obedient slaves.
Fortunately, they seem to have never heard of the principles of protecting information from their own kind, so extracting it should be a simple matter. On the other hand, too much interest will attract the attention of automated tracking programs. So it's important to maintain a balance. But I do have complete maps of Ashen Prime, as well as a list of planets under their control.
The experience of storming a high-tech city must be unusual. They'd only done this in simulations before, but now the Jaffa will have to storm a real city. They'll have to think quickly and execute their tasks; it'll be another test. And how happy they'll be to be used so soon! Truly, the Jaffa are maniacs, even more so than the Goa'uld. Or did I make them that way? No matter, they're a powerful tool that will set the galaxy ablaze.
The Ashens are finished if you get serious.
They were finished anyway.
