Ordering one of the Lieutenants up onto the gun, it wasn't too long till he was back into the city and soon spotted Jack and the convoy which meant they found a short cut much like Michael and himself had. Pulling off to the side, he turned off the truck before approaching Jack; "I take it you all found a road," spotting the man smile, "so let's start securing the city and bring down the buildings behind us to create an even battlefield." Ordering the Lieutenant's into a building, he followed behind them while other SF's began doing the same to quickly setup a command center in the old courthouse. Meeting up with Romo, he knew the man had a solid plan and they had the same plan considering the Cylons could use them as cover but if the buildings came down then they would have the advantage. Hearing soldiers warn of Centurions, he ordered one of the humvees to pull up and cut them down while he followed Romo into a nearby building. Sliding behind a wall, a small squad had entered the building most likely hoping to catch them off guard; tossing frag grenades in as they were torn to shreds. Moving ahead as he the deafing sound of the .50 caliber machine gun ran on the outside, moving around to join the sound as bullets began to rip into the Centurions. Following Jack, they came out the other side of the building as he ordered the Lieutenants to roll the Humvee closer as they cut down the Centurions. Taking cover behind a rusted out car, he could see Michael shooting in the distance, firng back as they cut down the Centurions before restarting their search. Jogging over to the nearest building with Jack behind him, he kept to the bottom floor where he was setting up G-6 charges but noticed old gear belonging to Advance Picon Strike Teams; Picon's version of SF's. Picking up the old communications gear and maps, it was like the holy grail of traps and defensive perimeters but it was also 5 years old. Stuffing the maps into his vest, he grabbed the radio gear and stuffed important files in his pack before wiring the area with explosives. Starting outside as he spotted Jack nod 'no' he gave the pack to the Lieutenants before detonation the building as a pile of ashes and dust before moving on.

Hearing a distant pop, he peered up through his scope as he spotted the Atlantia which was way too early and even more he could see the raiders which flew over the city to intercept them. Ordering everyone to get cover, he had the missile humvee take aim as they fired off all 24 of their missiles before reloading but it was too late considering a raider passed over to tear it down to shreds. Getting on the radio, their mission was now going to be a bit harder; "Atlantia this is SF Ground, get your asses out of here now! You've got more raiders than you can deal with and we need more time," pausing as he remembered Michael, "send a raptor and we'll put Michael on it right now."
Spotting missiles hitting the Atlantia most likely from the Basestars, he could see areas outside the city being impacted which meant they weren't going to be too far. Getting word on Michael's location, he didn't bother with the Humvee as he sprinted to the location as he rushed into cover. Turning to Michael, he handed him the frequencies to the sat nav system; "I'm getting your ass out of here, when that raptor touches down, your getting on it and your not coming back here; that's my last order as your commanding officer."

Turning to the General, he wasn't going to argue with him as he stuffed the information into his vest before running for the designated landing zone. Tapping his radio as he called up to the Atlantia, "Admiral, send me a raptor, the General still has a job to do and I need to be with Sam," spotting Centurions landing just a few yards from him. Taking cover beside an old cement wall, he began opening fire on the Centurions as he waited; knowing he could hold them off for a while.

:Lieutenant Skully:
Spotting the Colonel was under fire, he flipped the safety off his cannons as he sprayed into the Centurion lines while hovering off the ground; opening the ramp as he got low enough. The Colonel ran over to him as he jumped onboard and sat down beside him as he pulled away from the battlefield and headed back up to the Atlantia.

Making it up the crumbling steps to the second floor. Scanning the area he pulled his pistol out along with a flashlight. Scanning the area he didn't see anything at first. Then he saw movement moving slowly toward it. Outside he heard weapon fire knowing the others had engaged the Cylons.
Making his way up to the top floor of the building he spotted the figure go into a room. Moving so he wouldn't trip the traps that were in place. Easing the door open hiding, he called out.
"This is Lieutenant Colonel Liam Quinto of the Terran Special Forces. Im here to help you.
There was silence for what seemed like a full minute. Then he heard a voice, "Major Marcus Kinkade, 32nd Libran Marine Division." The Major said stepping out from the shadow. Lieutenant Colonel Quinto stepped into the door way and saw a man in fatigues that had seen better days. Suddenly he heard a popping sound.
"Dammit, their two days early."
Liam said as the two men ran to the window. Within a couple minutes they saw Colonel Thrax pop white smoke and get picked up by a Raptor.
"We need to get to General Harperson. He should have a command center set up."
The officer made their way down the steps and out into the courtyard. Liam pulled out his rifle and started firing taking out a couple centurions. Finally reaching where General Harperson was he introduced Major Kinkade.
"General, requesting permission to lead the team in Colonel Thrax's absence. I am the ranking officer besides yourself and Colonel Shepard"
He finished that statement and glanced over at Tom. Liam had been brought here knowing Micheal was retiring after this mission, was to promoted and put in command of the team.

Making it back to the command center after Michael left, he knew the kid was leaving for a good reason which now meant they had to last longer than a few days and integrating Librans into the SF's had to be done. Spotting Tom and Liam, he called over Jack just to be safe considering Michael had plans early on with his brother; hearing out Liam as he shook hands with the Major. Turning to Liam, he knew the rank structure but then again he wasn't going to put his Advance Recon in the hands of a beginner.
Turning to Jack as he pulled out Lieutenant Colonel pins, "Jack Thrax, field promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and put in command of the Nomad Division as for your promotion, Tom, after this mission we'll talk. Liam, its nothing personal but it was something me and Michael had discussed and its for the safety of the corps."

Surprised by the promotion, Jack clipped on the pins as he picked up his rifle; "Thanks, sir, not going to let anyone down," turning to Liam and Tom as he felt the vibe, "you two better get along and I can't think of a better way then to send you back out. We need an army which means we recruit anyone we find just for the mere fact that we may see more Cylons considering the Atlantia's screw up."
Spotting the sat nav system getting setup, he slipped on his cap as he pushed them ahead before putting his arms over Liam and Tom; "Let's get along after all, we might be here for a while so suck it up."

"General, you yourself told me this was to be my team."
Liam said with frustration in his voice. This news had come straight out of the blue. The General had picked him personally to take command of the team when Thrax was gone.
"I didn't make Lieutenant Colonel off merit, I worked my ass off and sacrificed everything."
Quinto confined to complain. He it wasn't going to do any good but he was pissed. The General had played him and knew that he was playing favorites.

Alice enters after watching Michael leave for the Altantia. Well congrats Jack on the promotion. She leans up against the wall as she spoke.
General... when are we leaving for the next mission Sir? I hear home is getting some action as well. She tries to steer the conversation around. The intensity is thick, it could be cut with a knife.

Ordering everyone except Liam to clear the room, he had too much frustration for today and having this hot shot Lieutenant Colonel wasn't making it any easier. Taking a breath, he turned to the young man as he leaned against the table; "Michael put you in this unit for one reason, he sees potential in people where I focus on their skills. I promise nothing to people and Jack got the command for the simple fact he was fighting in wars like this long before you even considered joining the corps. But I will promise you one thing, if you wish to return home after this tour, I'll ship you home myself otherwise bit your frakkin tongue and get the job done."
He had to keep from boiling out as he called the officers back in, "I can still pull you gods damn rank without having to report to Terra, just remember that, Mr. Quinto."
Turning to Alice as he crossed his arms, "It could be longer than a few days but I'm sure once we get back home that fight will be finished," laughing a bit for he knew the army would be getting their hands dirty.

Yes Sir. She salutes the General before turning to Liam. If I may say something Liam. SF is a tough team to be in... I am sure you earned your rank but I have been here years... voluntarily think about that. Alice limps out of the building and begins her next mission.

Walking out to his Humvee, he began to load up on gear as he spotted Alice; "I'm Jack and probably your new command officer, I'm not too different from Michael other than I expect results no matter the cost and my plans are crazier," closing the trunk as he grabbed a grenade belt, "Alice, I'm teaming you up with Tom and I'll risk my life with Liam," laughing as he finished the sentence.
Hearing another a faint pop, he peered through his scope as he spotted what appeared to be a Basestar as he spoke while lowering his rifle; "The Atlantia did one thing for us or against us, that Basestar is going to land tens of thousands of Centurions but then again it could be our ride out of here."

She salutes him as he approaches her Great to meet you Sir. Crazier? Now I like the sound of that. I could go for some crazy plans.
Liam doesn't seem that bad... I think he expects more than we can give him I am guessing. But that's life.
She looks at her commanding officer with a thought as he speaks about the Basestar, Are you thinking about taking over said Basestar? It wouldn't take long to wire it for our control... that was her idea of crazy ideas and plans.

Pulling out a fold up rocket launcher as Tom came down, "Going even crazier, we know we can take control but if we do it, its all or nothing which means we can use the nukes onboard to nuke the ones in orbit," slinging a missile pack on his back as he tucked the rocket launcher under his pack. Spotting the General coming down as he yelled to him, "Suggest we work through the night cause we can take that by morning!"
Loading up know schematics of the Basestar, "Let's go and keep your suppressors on," pulling out his rebreather as he opened a case for everyone else, "one of the few things the Centurions can see is motion and the CO2 that we release so we eliminate 1 element we can sneak onboard and use their weapons against them, crazy enough?"
