Jumping into the upper atmosphere, the Icarus began launching drop pods as well as its short Vipers; securing its place as Jack and his men touched down. Kicking open the hatch, Jack slipped on his helmet as his men began to move out from the center; sprinting through the street to cover. Getting an update to his tactical pad to the cities northern border, he began sprinting with his men with him; rushing to secure the outer edge so the Marines could cover his flank.

Landing much like Jack, Rebecca kicked open her pod as she double checked on where she landed which was relatively close to the shipyards which is good considering the Icarus needed to land before dropping off more troops. Ordering her Marines to secure the spaceport, she noticed the city was pretty much empty which was good considering they could easily reinforce it. Getting the all clear, she signaled with green smoke giving the all clear for the Icarus to land in the spaceport before she began moving out with her squad to secure some of the taller buildings with snipers and possibly battery placements.

Landing the Icarus in the docks, the General walked off of the ship with his helmet in hand as his SF's poured off of the ship as well as hordes of equipment with the raptors moving the batteries off of the deck. Slipping on his helmet, he followed his personal guard as he met Rebecca; taking a look around the grim looking city,"We'll be launching the first of many anti radiation pods," hearing the launch from one of the missile tubes. Peering up towards the skies as they briefly turned blue, he grabbed his rifle before following the engineers to the new site for the power plant which was needed so they could begin the cities upgrade.

Reloading once more, Jack and his men were slowly gaining ground against the Cylons who were fighting a losing battle for days now. Taking the head off another on, Jack was laughing in his armor for the Cylons weren't even denting it with continious weapons fire but this battle was soon to end as Interceptors armed with high explosive bombs were moving in. Popping green smoke to mark his position, his Marines took refuge in an old gun shop and well, Jack got as close as he could to keep the Cylons busy till the bombs dropped. The entire section lit up as the bombs wiped out the Cylons, moving in to secure as he tapped his radio; "Cylon forces have been wiped out, need reinforcements to secure area as well as an armored division," pulling off his helmet as he took a deep breath. He had been drenched in sweat for days, the cool air helped out some but the city was still a week from power which meant another week without a shower.

Watching from her perch above the city, she had her helmet on a post which worked at night considering the raiders would see it as target practice. Below her sat one of the thirty batteries that had destroyed two Basestars attmpting to reclaim the city but her job for now was to protect this battery from raiders or the extremely rare Centurion. Putting her rifle back together, she loaded up her nitro tipped .50 caliber 30 round mag back in before sighting a recon raider; firing ahead as the bullets punched into the fighter forcing it down. Hearing Jack, she knew the kid had it hard but not for long considering pretty soon the Gondawan engineers would have a bar for him to drown his worries.

Setting his armor aside as he set his gear down in an apartment that he had secured, setting all the photos aside with the sheets to the bed; lying down only briefly considering he wanted to get a shower since now thanks to the Gondawan engineers who gave this city power. Setting his radio down on the wooden table next to his rifle as he tossed his clothes into a plastic bag, flipping on the shower while music faintly placed over his tactical pad. Relaxing in the glass shower with the hot water running down him, taking his anti radiation meds just to be safe, using a nearby mirror to shave before grabbing a fresh uniform; pausing as he noticed a building in the distance coming down. Reconstruction has been a key goal in taking Caprica considering the importance of this single colony but from what he heard, Caprica City would revival the buildings in Corinth or even Darous.
Lying back down on his bed, he slipped his earpiece in as his tactical pad projected Terras night sky onto the ceiling even though it was still a hint of daylight neither less it was something to sooth his soul.

Finally having a chance to get down from her perch, she slung her rifle as she stepped into the war tore penthouse where she placed her weapons into the make shift lockers followed by her anti radiation meds; starting into the bullet ridden hallway. A lot of her men had already laid claim to an apartment but it would only till the engineers could build a taller building next to them. Reaching the end of the hall, she stepped into an unclaimed room as she began the process of cleaning it of contaments; leaving the comforter and sheets in bags to be burned. Covering the bed with a heat asborbent blanket, taking a shower after turning on a few lamps. She heard a few Marines chat about a television channel to monitor progress, changing into fresh clothing. Projecting the tactical pad onto her massive windows which looked out upon the city. Zooming in a few sections, it appears that the General began the clean up on the city streets so the tanks could move around easier and even allow the vipers to land. Darkening the window, she soon went to bed, her pistol tucked under the mattress to allow for a quick draw.

Waking up, Jack picked up his medical pack as he took his daily dose of anti radiation meds before getting up, opening up a bottle which made instant coffee as he took a seat in his chair. Picking up his tactical pad, he took a sip of his coffee while he reviewed the schedule for his team which included dropping down into the sewers to check for any Cylons before the teams began to build water purification centers. Setting his coffee down, he began slipping into his armor, resupplying his armor with the box of ammunition that he had moved in over night; slipping on his helmet.
Picking up his rifles, he started out of the room as he approached his teams which were set to go; starting down stairs while the the manhole covers began to be lifted to allow them to venture into the underground.

Stepping off the ship for the first time in a month, he had visited Caprica before the fall but he understood the rebuild considering once the greatest city is now a graveyard. Showing off his ID, he knew for now it was relatively safe thanks to the quick attack but Delphi would be something completely different. Hearing the crashing of the water against the shore, he started back across the dock to the ship; still in the process of interfacing the systems with the new command bunker.

After spending the night in a comfortable bed, Rebecca was back at it but without her armor as her squad moved to explore the airfield just outside the city; one of which was rumored to be used in the brief battle for Caprica before the fall. Standing, hidden in the tall grasses as she peered through her scope to spot several heavy raiders with Centurions everywhere which meant they needed to find proper cover before taking them on. Slowly moving, they soon found a storm drain that ran under the field and allowed the airbase never to flood but someone had to stay out to provide as a distraction. Pulling out her bi-pod, she switched her rifle to full automatic before tagging targets, ready to fire once her Marines were ready to climb out. Spotting Jack and his men from a distance, she began taking down the Centurions on top of the hanger before running for cover from the heavy raiders which was now targeting her; leaving her rifle to be cut down.

Leaving the sewers, he noticed his squad was outside the city and intruding on another operation but they couldn't do much about that now. Calling in Viper assistance, his squad began laying down fire to get the Centurion attention before noticing missiles tearing into the heavy raiders with the roar of the low flying vipers passing by before the sound of gunship raptors were inbound to tear the place apart and also securing the airfield with additional troops. Jogging over to Rebecca, he noticed she hid inside the storm drain as he pulled off his helmet; "Come on, oh and I believe you might need a new rifle."

Rebecca knew Jack had left for Picon to help the new Nomads which ticked her off considering the fight on Caprica had came to a near dead silent. Gathering her gear as well as her squad, she knew the fight was on Picon and her plan was rather simple if she could get a few pilots that had the balls to pull it off. Loading into a combat raptor due to scout outside the city, her squad were fellow snipers who made the top one percent in all of Terra. Lifting off, they all began checking over their rifles and the several packs that contained more than a thousand bullets with the container holding another million.
Flying over the city wall, the raptor prepared to jump as they headed towards Delphi for cover.

:Captain Miller; SF Air Command: Shedding the bulk of their armor and expended fuel cells, a smaller fighter bomber appeared with their nukes armed and ready to fire on the enemy Basestars. Strapping in, the pilots fired up their primary and secondary engines before arming the nukes and giving them targets. Forming up, the bombers headed for the blockade, launching their nuclear payload onto the unsuspecting enemy ships; wiping them out in mere minutes before heading down to Caprica City. Captain Miller got up as he peered out the canopy, opening a channel to the General as they began landing at the old spaceport; "This is Captain Miller, all SF Bombing Wings are landing, just give us a target and we'll wipe it out."

Receiving mixed reports from just about everywhere, Ramsey started out with his thick armor wondering what the commotion was about and right away he knew as he spotted Centurions dropping into the city. Machine gun nests began coming to life as bullets began ripping through the air, yet more kept dropping in while raiders attacked their batteries. Holding his position at the docks, he and his small squad were just barely holding them back but there was no way to properly evacuate back to the Icarus in time. Tapping his radio, he knew they couldn't allow a single Cylon onboard; "Daniel, get the ship out of here now! Take it back home and see about sending more troops, we'll try..."
Noticing his radio being jammed, he tossed it aside before returning fire on the Centurions; taking another down as the Vipers fought the raiders overhead for air superiority.

Daniel's morning was going much like every other morning, he had spent all night updating the software for the satellites so they could spend clearer messages back home yet even through the upgrades it seemed not to be helping now he knew why. Starting up all the defensive systems as well as the engines, he called back the Marines who were just inside the airlocks firing back with sniper rifles; firing the thrusters to begin lifting out of the water. Moving aside from the pilot as he pulled out the star charts, "Once we get 10,000 feet prepare to jump also secure all hatches!"
The ship began taking off as a few Vipers and raptors began landing since they were for the most part defending the ship till this point. Jumping, the shockwave tore apart a squadron of raiders also dropped off a long range Dradis scanner which was due to drop back into the ocean.
