Walking to the main armory, Jack knew if they wired up the entire wall or at least the vital areas then it would bring down not just the wall but also their communication as well coordination. Breaking open a small locker, he opened one of the many explosive cases as he began to load up on G-4 while his other men began connect explosive charges to conduits; at the same though Jack also wired up the explosives that he left in the locker. Closing the door, he listened to Tom before connecting back to the ship; "Victor and Samuel, take the remaining Nomads and your mission is to find the Picon Colonel in the city but also if you run across the assassin then capture him at all costs as well," moving on from the armory for he knew there was more places to wire up. Suiting up, he and everyone else began slipping on combat gear knowing that they didn't have no solid way of hiding their identity other than adding a 'Tracker' to their vest since trackers are respected along SF's after all they're a bit more free range than other parts of the service. Grabbing a rifle and pistols from the cargo crates, they connected their back packs to their tactical vests but Victor grabbed an extra rifle with gear as he connected the roped to the deck. James flipped to hover mode as they prepared to drop into a portion of the old city, watching as the elevator lowered down before giving them a green light as the ropes lowered down as they slid down it onto the ground as James disconnected the ropes and left in a dust cloud. Grabbing his rifle, Victor ordered the men to spread out as he turned to Samuel; "Rules of Engagement do apply but once we find the Picon Colonel then we'll start killing off SF's but only then," starting down the street for some of the older apartments that the SF patrols won't go near.

Dressed much like the rest of them, Samuel listened to Victor but knew if any SF would have to simply call the tower to get a double check on the trackers unless the Nomads cut off communication which would be even more useful. On Terra, Samuel had met only a single tracker but only after he was booted from his company which the Tracker helped him not just survive but hunt down HaLaTha members which was quite useful especially since the larger companies were focused on the defense of the planet. Letting the rifle hang off of his vest, he pulled out his side arm as they entered the apartment complex while Victor placed precaution charges in the corridor that are tripped by SF tactical pads which made them start bombs. Kicking open doors, Samuel began checking each apartment till he reached the one that was filled with weapons and noticed a man coming in as he was going through the weapons; noticing it was the Picon Colonel as he called in Victor. Extending his hand, Samuel pulled off his tracker tag, "Colonel Shepard, I'm Specialist Samuel Winters with the Colonial Marines; did any of your men survive?"

Coming out of the tunnel, he wasn't sure what to think but these two men were dressed differently than other SF's that had been hunting him for weeks and being former SF's and now Colonial Marines meant there was a huge change. Shaking the man's hand before setting down the grenade launcher, "Figured you all forgot about the Colonies, so I take it the Terrans finally figured out that the SF's aren't as good as they thought," taking a deep breath, "the new Colonial government was crushed days ago and rumor is that the General is dispatching more Cylons just to take out the small resistance here," noticing more 'Trackers' coming in as they began loading up on gear, "what's going on?"

Pulling the tracker tag off as he handed Romo a spare holster with a rifle, noticing the rest of the men were unpacking their explosives for they were going to begin the real work of Operation Downfall which started with a major distraction; "We're here to join the resistance. Jack and his men are setting up explosives and attempting to bypass the targeting systems so more reinforcements and even Vipers can come in but for now we're going to take out as many SF's as possible," looking around as he noticed a laptop on the desk. Opening it up, he connected his tactical pad to it as he sent a message to the X-2 to send to Michael Thrax; 'SF's destroyed Picon Marines and we're outnumbered even if the army makes it here so Operation Downfall has begun Phase two and three, contact set for 24 hours, get well sir.'
Sending the message with an encryption package, Victor destroyed the laptop as he turned to Romo; "You'll take five of my men and I'll take the rest, plant explosives on all gas lines, water lines and generators...we can fight them when they're off guard but do not get bogged down otherwise this operation is over with and we're all going to be hung in the street," pulling up the map on his tactical pad, "You go north and we'll go south."

James had been in orbit for hours and he couldn't do much as is since his ship was no match for the SF raider hybrid fighters but he needed to stay active. The X-2 wasn't meant for long range anything which meant now it needed to adapt for this new task. Turning off the power as well as the gravity deck, he floated out of his seat and began pulling the panels off the back wall to optimize his fuel which wasn't just being pumped into FTL but into the engines and even the power generator; all of which ran off the fuel and now all were running on minimum amounts which meant the ship could last longer without being refueled. Loading up the A.I, he connected his tactical pad to the core and began scavenging through the files.
Coming online, X-2 peered over at James as she followed the files he was searching through; "What are you looking for?"
Turning to her as he started running into firewalls, widening his search as he connected an USB to the core to run through the firewalls; "SFC doesn't have the technology to make A.I's so good chances are that you were stolen so who was your creator? Even more who created you and for what," connecting once more as he began accessing restricted files. Holy shit, Alex Briskis is Alex Phoenix and well he created the image of his wife into all A.I's...yes multiple A.I's which meant the X-2 was in fact once called XF-2 which was the Colonial's most Advance fighter. Allowing the X-2 to see her entire history, her combat history and all the things the SFC did to her...the systems began shutting down completely even life support.
He had ten minutes of air before the carbon levels rose too high for even him, now the timer was counting down on him as the ship came back online with only a minute remaining and this time with new console screens. The A.I appeared to be dressed in fatigues and the new systems appeared to be S.L.A.V.E systems which meant if it wasn't protected then they could use it as the A.I turned to him; "I'll stay as the X-1 for now but now we have a way to fight the SFC with their own aircraft and Mayday, please don't crash me."
Laughing, he stepped down onto the gravity deck as he took a deep breath; "I'll contact Jack and see if we can't cause a little bit of chaos."

Everything was going as planned, Victor had found the package and Foxtrot Company was closing in on them which meant they had to move up their timeline especially since he wasn't sure if Michael could pull through or if the Admiral could help. Tapping his radio, he moved into position to assault the Commodore's office while his other Nomads headed for the control room; "Operation Cobalt is now effect, we know Delta Company is currently on Caprica let's hope they are still loyal to the Nomads otherwise it's going to be a short fight."
Running into the office, he knew the Commodore from the old days back when he was a Major now even before the man said anything; he put a bullet into him. Locking down the doors, he set his rifle down as he pushed the man aside and began connecting his tactical pad to the computer as well as entering his 24 digit command override password. He could only use it on Caprica since the Tauron computer would have him locked out, getting word that his Nomads have captured the control room and began locking down the wall. Connecting to the city PA system, he could see SF's trying to break into the office; "This is General Jack Thrax of the Nomads, I'm the man in charge of Caprica at this time so I'm giving you a choice! Accept my command and kill those frakkin Cylons or die when my Colonial allies get here with the Terran Army," grabbing his rifle as he put the desk down for cover while aiming at the door as he got a response, "This is Commander Typhos of Delta Company, we'll join you and I'm sure Foxtrot will join as well with some convincing but Charlie is in the wall do you require assistance?"
Laughing, he didn't just one company but two and with Charlie coming down on them, responded as he typed a message to James; "We do require assistance but get Foxtrot to repel our borders," opening the wall to Delta as he began opening fire onto Charlie Company.

For a few minutes, Victor and the Nomads with him were fighting Foxtrot but after Jack made his statement over the PA; Foxtrot turned and began firing upon the Cylons. Packing up their gear, they walked towards the SF's and knew that these men and women were now allies but they still needed to find the assassin. Pausing as he opened the back of the humvee, he saw a raptor leave the tower and knew the assassin was limping back to Tauron where the real fight was going to be. Victor started his career with Foxtrot and then moved over to Delta after meeting a few odd requirements and Delta's were ghosts to Alpha Company. Loading up on supplies which was just a few mags, he had to aid Foxtrot in taking down the Cylons after all the Cylons did outnumber them but they had the element of surprise which lasted for a while as the SF raider hybrids took on the raiders while the guns began firing onto the Basestars in orbit. The city was actually fighting the Cylons which was the main purpose for the wall and the defenses but they needed to contact the fleet cause there is good chances are that Tauron will send reinforcements.

Samuel jumped right into the fight with the Cylons and with his rifle which was better than what Foxtrot Company had, he but through the Cylons with ease even going through walls to hit them. Changing out mags, he flipped on the magnetic resolution on his scope to see Cylons better as he walked through the alley ways with Alpha Squad of Foxtrot Company behind him; a Specialist leading an elite squad...Samuel had been a loner for so long it wasn't even funny that he was now leading Foxtrot's attack. Using the least amount of rounds per target, they soon had a district cleaned out of Cylons; burning through five magazines and he still had plenty more. Calling in, he allowed Foxtrot to move forward as he noticed his tactical pad connecting to Caprica's secure terminal; "Northwestern quadrant is clear and we're moving on. Once the wall is secure, we're going to need Delta on the wall to snipe Cylons; how is our signal to Terra going?"

Working with the X-2, he soon found a way to hack into the long range satellites that the Terrans had put up when they were liberating the Colonies and began creating a backdoor program to send the message without alerting the Cylons as well. Flipping on a small camera as well as the radio as he connected the satellite, "This is Lieutenant James 'Mayday' Summers, pilot of the X-2, I have great news from Caprica thus warrants this transmission. General Jack Thrax with assistance from Delta and Foxtrot Company has retaken Caprica but we need assistance...the general fears the Cylon fleet around Tauron, Picon and even Scorpia may be headed here if so then we could lose everything. Calling for assistance, this is Lieutenant Mayday on standby."

Isolating the communications system to Tauron as well as the other Colonies, Caprica was now isolated and even more their tactical pads were now on the new network which he can ensure that not even Harperson would know that Caprica was offline. Setting up false messages, even if the fleet didn't show up then they could last awhile and have Tauron think it was a minor uprising but even he wasn't sure how long it would last. Informing the General that he had isolated communication, he watched while Delta's secured his deck and right away he changed his opinion about the SF altogether. These were SFD's, they were peacekeepers and after finding out they fought with a corrupt General well they want pay back; they all want payback and someday they'll get it but for now all they have is Caprica, the wall, the defenses and hope.

Once the wall is secure, we're going to need Delta on the wall to snipe Cylons; how is our signal to Terra going?" Tapping his radio as he killed the last of Charlie Company that was inside the wall, he had Delta company pull the gear off the dead before having them buried on the other side of the wall; after all they were following orders. Listening to Samuel, he spoke softly as he started his walk to his new office while his tactical pad unloaded how long they could survive on their own; "Delta is headed out now as for the signal, James has begun sending it but with limited satellites here we're not even sure if the signal can reach Terra so I'm recalling him to send a team home to report," peering over his tactical pad as he glanced over the numbers that mattered, "on our own we can survive 6-12 months without help after that our food supplies will be gone and even though the water processing plant is producing fresh water its not producing enough for all of us so we'll run out of water and one day bullets so let's hope my plan works." That's all they had, plans followed by back ups and well with an army of 20,000 Deltas, 20,000 Foxtrots and a mere 10 Nomads protecting a city of 4 million people civilians who had no idea of the timeline which meant SF's altogether would be cutting back on their consumption especially with their supply of bullets now limited to what they are carrying and the 10,000 cases in the armory.

Having the message on a loop, James powered up the ship as he headed back down to the surface this time with an escort as he spotted the Hybrid fighters flying along side of him till he reached the landing pad. Extending the landing gear, he let the X-2 land herself as he lowered the elevator to see SF's standing on the pad but this time with Tom on the pad with equipment that would be used for long range holographic communication and this time pretty isolated. Grabbing the gear, he could hear a voice on his radio as he put in his earpiece and could hear his new orders which was to take Tom and the equipment to the Independence and keep in constant contact after all he wasn't too sure if anyone got their message. Inviting Tom on board, James closed up the ship as he prepared for lift off once more as well as brought up the FTL systems to begin plotting the trip back home but knew they would have to refuel once they get back home; he began strapping in as the X-2 prepared for the first jump. Jumping, James hoped that they would be back here sooner than later after all he was starting to love this ship but even with the victory on Caprica his ship was faster and even more had the element of surprise.

Jack watched from the observation deck as the X-2 took off from landing pad, he knew Tom would pull through and soon afterwards Delta Company managed to finish off the Cylons yet he knew they weren't safe. Reports were starting to emerge that Alpha Company had taken out the last pockets of resistance, except for HaLaTha forces on Tauron, even they were fighting a losing war but he could train a resistance and covertly insert them on Tauron to aid but he would have to reach out. Even though Picon and Scorpia fell, they both had soldiers who hid in the past and might have done it once more; he needed to reach out to be sure.
Calling Romo to the observation deck, Jack had begun assembling mixed platoons to join himself and Romo; turning to the man as he placed a governor in command during his absence, "I'm sending you to Picon with two mixed platoons. Find any survivors of your military, gather them and bring them here...we need to build an army encase we have to attack Tauron full force. Take Victor with you while I head to Scorpia with Samuel and my two platoons to do the same but we have to do this without drawing attention from Tauron," pausing as four cargo raptors landed on the pad, "try and bring back food after all our supplies will drain while we train an army."

Picon. That's all Romo had been thinking about when all of this had started and with news that the SF's had wiped out most of the military he wasn't sure if anything was there for him but then again the Cylons didn't leave much for them. Getting up as he noticed his platoon walking past him, "I'll try and hopefully Victor will be able to adapt considering my people will be questionable over SF's ally or not," grabbing his rifle as well as his pack which was pre-packed for him, starting his walk over to the two cargo raptors set aside for him, "talk to you in a few days," climbing onto the raptor as he ordered Victor to join him before closing the hatch. The two raptors lifted off, packed with troops as well as gear and weapons for the long trip and as well as aiding what troops they can get but the raptors would have to get through blockades even stay hidden on the ground.

Watching as the man left for what could only be an impossible mission, he ordered Samuel to the raptor as he grabbed a spare pack for he knew they would be gone for a while and that they would need more than 2 raptors to bring them back. Stepping into the raptor, he connected a rope to his belt kit before closing the hatch; unlike the Picon group the raptors will be returning home since Scorpia was questionable territory. Lifting off, the SF's with him loaded up on extra of everything in the raptor for they wouldn't see the raptor again for weeks to months at a time.
