Jason breathed a sigh of relief when the panic felt by both of them subsided upon seeing the crater had no fires around the edge. however, the creek now had a pond smack dab in the middle of it, which would make for a good fishing spot once the creek fills in the now gaping hole. upon return to the cabin, Jason only nodded as he began to explore not only the motorcycle, but also the barn to double check if any of the crystals were stored there. he wanted to make sure he got all this packed and ready to roll when Clint returned, and with that explosion, he assumed there wasn't much time. The last time he was in the barn, he didn't get the chance to pause and look for any materials with the rush of possible fire near, but this time he looked through the partly full shed, looking for anything that would tip him off to the presence of anything Clint would have left in there. He had only spent a few minutes, rummaging around and at least removing two or three crystals from the barn, when he suddenly heard the faint familiar sound of a humming engine. An engine he had only heard back home. taking the BroCoLyte out of the barn, he made a b-line for his own vessel to stash his finds next to the ship before what he assumed was Clint's ship, but he wasn't taking any chances as he removed his sidearm and made sure it was ready.
When the mini raptor came quickly into eyesight, Jason only grinned and holstered his sidearm and waved at the incoming ship before leaning himself against his own fighter, waiting for that ship to come on down.

Flying closer to the cabin, he could make out some sort of ship sitting in the pasture. Clint was not sure what to make of this. He'd not had any visitors and suddenly the whole mountain seems to be on fire and he has company??? Clint pushed the control to the right and began to descend when he got close enough he smiled with relief.
Sitting in his pasture is a ship from the Home World. Not just any ship either. He made a huge sideways circle to let the guy on the ground know he was coming in and saw him.
With a beaming smile Clint set the mini raptor down and unbuckled his harness before throwing open the door and climbing down to the ground. He could hardly wait to go see Jason. Taking long strides his boots made rustling sounds through the tall prairie grass as he went to Jason and held out his hand. "Where the hell did you come from? And ........ wow! Why are you here?" Clint looked around almost expecting to see Jason's folks appear. "You alone?"

Jason took his hand with a smile and pulled Clint in for an embrace. It had been some time since he last saw Clint, and the man was like a brother to Jason. Just a handshake is not good enough for a brother in his mind."Well its good to see you too!" he said with a slight taste of sarcasm. He then chuckled and released Clint from the embrace, stepping back a bit to give the man a look over. "My word have you changed." Truth be told, Clint hadn't changed much in appearance since they last saw each other. Then again, when last they were together, Jason was team leader of only a hand full of fighters. Times have changed in the short span that it has been. "I don't have my parents in tow if thats what your asking. But one of yours guided me here." He then turned gesturing to the cabin. "And its not the one back home." he said in a fashion as if there was some like dislike for Clint's father; and that would be the truth, but only became such truth during the few days before leaving home. "Outside of seeking you out because we want to?" he chose to finally answer with a smirk, "The cylons are trying to burn Terra and so we came to get you and everything you brought out of here." as he gestured to the BroCoLyte that was in a bag near his fighter. "We've got to get to our own vessel. I have yet to tell Kona, but home sent a warship, not just little old me."

"We've got to get to our own vessel. I have yet to tell Kona, but home sent a warship, not just little old me." Clint returned the warm embrace and couldn't stop smiling. He was really happy to see Jason. "Man it's great to see you again! You look good, Bro!" They had grown up together back on the Home World and Clint always felt that Jason was his brother from another mother. He took in all that Jason had to say as he stepped back and put his hands on his hips. Looking down at the ground to let it all sink in and then looking up quickly when he said that his Mom was here too. "Mom's here?" Clint couldn't wait to give her a hug. "Where is she? I want to go see her then we'll talk about the mess here on Terra. I had no idea what was going on but I know the area is not safe and now you tell me that Home has sent a War ship?" Clint started to head for the cabin with Jason beside him as they talked about things. "I'm not goin anywhere without my Mom. I haven't seen her since she left Home World long ago. I didn't know how to find her here." He picked up the pace a little faster "Come on, hurry up!" He laughed as he saw Jason begin to keep up with a longer stride.

Jason couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Clint's one focus was Kona. He understood why Clint's attitude was that way, but it still made him laugh seeing him wanting to say hi to his mother so quickly. "It shouldn't be hard to find her." he said with a grin, "she was helping me find whats left of the BroCoLyte. besides, I wouldn't dream of leaving without both of you." he followed him through part of the house in search of Kona before piping up once more. "I will say though, why she was so hard for you to find is because you were not expecting her to return to space. Since I didn't have the charts for Terra, I had to ask a battlestar for directions, and found her there."

Since I didn't have the charts for Terra, I had to ask a battlestar for directions, and found her there." Wiping her hands off by dusting them together then dragging them down the leg of her jeans, Kona appeared from the back porch and began to ask Jason who he was talking to as she was looking down at her jeans. "Who are you talking to?" she whipped her head up and was surprised to see her son with her nephew. "Oh my! CLINT???" she felt unable to move with surprise.

He was always impressed by his cousin's ingenuity to remedy a situation. As soon as Clint heard her voice he broke into a smile and his footsteps increased til he was standing right in front of her. He reached out and wrapped his long arms around her as he closed his eyes and smelled the top of her hair. "Yep, it's me, Mom! I'm so glad to see you!" Clint leaned back and let loose his grip on her. He looked over at Jason "Ok, so what do we do now?"

Jason smiled upon seeing such a reaction. he had honestly not seen a reaction like that out of either of them for a long time, and had missed that because of the conflict back home. "yeah, look who came to visit finally." he said with a smirk. only stepping back for a bit to give them some time, he moved back to Liandra and the mini raptor to put the BroCoLyte into the storage compartments in the raptor. he only stopped briefly once he heard the question asked. "Now," he said more directly this time, "we take what we need and leave this place. between the legion's attack and problems elsewhere, we will have a piece of home waiting for us in a nearby sector of space." truth be told he wanted to see the surprised on both their faces upon seeing the brain child of Kona's and Jason's father's work operational and combat ready. though only Jason truly knew that it had been combat tested in the worst way possible.

"Now, we take what we need and leave this place. between the legion's attack and problems elsewhere, we will have a piece of home waiting for us in a nearby sector of space." Kona raised up her left eyebrow and looked at Jason intently trying to figure out what he was eluding to exactly. Many things went through her mind and many possibilities were on the Horizon for them. She gingerly picked up a piece of the BroCoLyte and handed it carefully to Jason. "Let's not blow ourselves up first, ok?" she smiled then turned to see what Clint was doing. "Go check the cabin and make sure we are not leaving any of this behind, Clint." she pushed the hair back away from her face and tucked the sides behind her ears desperately wishing she had a rubber band to pull it back with. Once Clint went back inside she whispered to Jason "explain ...... what do you mean?" she kept a close eye out for Clint to reappear at any moment.

Jason took the piece with a grin and placed it with the rest of the BroCoLyte. "yes. I'd prefer no craters in place of our bodies." he really didn't want to make mention of their ship till they got there, but kona's look told him to be ready to tell her very soon. it was only after Clint went away, however, that Jason was willing to pass on the information. he hated to reveal it now, but there was no better time. He sighed a bit and kept his voice down as he turned back to kona. "You and Clint have been gone from home for far too long. There is a threat out there that is greater than this petty war between cylons and colonials. we just don't see it because it doesn't take notice until the war ends. after you and clint disappeared from home, the special project was finished. not long after it was completed, it received its maiden test flight in the worst way possible. it has now come to this sector of space in order to keep home safe. whatever attacked home did not like the capabilities of the Odyssey. home has tested a gamble: keep the Odyssey alive and away from home long enough for a fleet to be built..... we have been put in charge of her since my father cannot be here. you are the only other one who is more than capable since you helped build it." he remained quiet from there, letting the information sink in for her.

Kona listened intently taking in all that Jason had revealed Thinking quietly to herself "so........ the project was finished ....... and she is the one to fill in for Jack apparently" she took a deep breath and weighed her words before speaking. Glancing toward the cabin to make sure her son was not within earshot she placed her hands ever so lightly on her hips and looked at Jason. "I presume that Jack, your father, has given you some instructions to hand off to me then? What is he expecting of me exactly? And for how long?" she turned back to face the cabin and then toward Jason as so many more things flew through her mind. "Where is the Odyssey?" Things were clear and muddled at the same time. She absolutely hated working off someone else's plans but as a Cylon she was capable and will adapt. But Cylons always ALWAYS have a Plan. She just needs to come up with one. She lifted her hair off her neck and let the breeze blow the heat off. If only Jack were here or able to at least contact them to let them know what was going on at Home.

Jason paused briefly in confusion, but let a slight smile rest on his lips. He understood where she believed command of the vessel was being given to, but that was not the case. He would gladly given her command if she wanted it, but his main desire was to have a dual command of the vessel. He was put in charge of the Odyssey until things calmed down, but he doubted his father would be upset if there ever was a change of order.
He let the smile linger as he gestured for Kona to follow him to the two ships.
"You misunderstand. I brought the Odyssey here. It was the safest place and I only wanted people whom I could trust to help me run her. If you want to take command, I have no problems with that. But dad has no idea I am here, let alone that I came to find you two."
He was happy to find both of them, more so than when he first knew where to look, but he didn't want to burden them with danger and strife if he could avoid it. This would have to be a volunteer mission only, or he would not be able to accept loss should it ever show itself.
"We will talk more soon and I will tell you where it is, but first I want to know if you and Clint want to join me, and if you do, we need to get back to the ship. I would hate to be away if trouble came knocking"

Relieved Kona smiled as she followed him to the ships. "I thought I had made it clear that Clint and I are both going with you." she looked around at the devastation on the planet then back to Jason as she tucked some loose strands of hair behind her right ear. "This planet is not safe for us anymore. I have no desire to take Command of the Odyssey but I am more than happy to help you with your mission. Clint will go where we go. He is, after all, still my child!" she smiled as she winked that last bit out quietly to Jason. Seeing Clint approaching from the cabin she looked back at her nephew "What is the plan? Shall we have Clint follow us in your ship? Not sure he has room for a passenger in that mini raptor of his." Looking at the rather small ship it seemed rather unlikely.

Clint made his way from the cabin with a sack of stuff over to where the two were talking. He tossed the sack on the ground and leaned against the ship that Jason flew in on as he touched his lip with his thumb. Not sure if he should interrupt or just listen. He decided to join in. "So what are you two plotting now?" He grinned at Jason and raised an eyebrow just the way his mother did.

Jason couldn't help but widen his smile as he heard her reply. It took a great burden off his shoulders to hear such words. It meant he could actually keep safe some of his family. There would be dark days ahead, as Jason knew. He just didn't know how dark they would be as the only things he cared about now were the moments of light.
He had nearly jumped out of his skin, however, as his focus was on kona, when Clint spoke. "How long had he been there and what did he hear?" He wondered as he turned to face Clint and tried to slow his own heart rate. "You always were one to catch me when I least expected you." He said with a slowly returning grin and a slight chuckle. "We were just discussing our temporary home to be. You had left before they had started it, but kona and Jack were working on a new home defense for any pests we may have in the future. I brought one with me and it's better to have people I trust help me run it. So follow us out of orbit and jump with us to these coordinates since I doubt you mom will leave without you"
He said with a smirk as he wrote down the coordinates for Clint and moved over to start up his ship. Had it not been for the sudden urgency to not only get back to the Odyssey, but also to get off Terra before the Cylons turned it into another humanless planet, Jason would be more inclined to request instead of rush, and explain more instead of keeping the both of them in the dark. It didn't take long for the ship to be ready for flight, and once both were prepped and everything was packed, Jason shot liandra spaceward and jumped the moment both ships were ready. Leaving behind only the cabin and memories that he would never learn.
