Ordering his fire team to take point, Michael could see the moon light as he unpacked one of the UAV's before sending it airborne to begin mapping. Turning towards Sam, he couldn't see much in the way of forests but knew from orbit that Tauron was mostly a desert; "There appears to be a small village a few miles out, it'll allow you to get some rest with your team we'll stand watch after all can't have you sleep deprived," he knew she was tired just by the way she looked where he on the other hand had a stiff bunk onboard the Venture to rest in. Using the moon light, he started down the make shift road made by the tanks, knowing that they can't always use roads knowing the Cylons would expect that.

Closing up the pods, the Terran pilot restarted the engines as the thrusters began to fire up; lifting up off of the ground as he stayed as low as he could at least a bit over 100 feet off of the ground. Hovering down off of the cliff, he knew the difficulty of flying this ship so close to the surface as the thrusters kicked up dust which forced him to close the shutters before flipping on the heat seeking network as he got to see through the dust. Moving over the tanks, he extended the landing gear as he carefully sat down on the air strip before shutting down the engines once more as he lowered the ship down onto the ground. Opening up the pods, he soon opened the shutters as he turned to the other officers; "Doubt the Cylons saw that but we'll prepare to camouflage the ship."

Getting the request from Colonel Shepard, Jack grabbed his gear as his tank driver jumped into his vehicle with him directly behind him; getting inside as the tank rolled on out of the pod. Driving over the mud, they drove up onto the solid ground before bringing up the GPS system and starting out through the storm; knowing they had to transverse a lot of land to get to the new coordinates. Sitting back, Jack pulled up his tactical pad to mark down his active duty in his log while they rolled through an old road most likely used before the war. Moving over next to the driver, he soon got a clear view of old tanks both that of the Tauron military and ones the Cylons had adapted for their use; knowing that Terran tanks were made of tougher stuff. Soon rolling up to the airfield, he had other tanks setup a perimeter as he climbed out to meet up with the Colonel; "We'll be moving the Venture after the storm and might just join up with you, Colonel." Hearing that the tanks had rolled in, Romo had stepped outside to greet the Terran officer as he held onto his M-4; "We could use some tanks after all, glad you could join us," shaking the man's hand as his fire teams began moving towards one of the hangers. They were getting live video from the UAV which meant it was time to start planning their next move and unlike everyone else they were going to draw attention to themselves with as much destruction as possible after all most of them were of Picon which meant this was a trial run before it was time to aid Picon. Noticing a dust cloud incoming, Romo shielded his face till he noticed the Venture right in front of him as he tapped his radio; "Picon and Scorpia Fire Teams, move out!" Turning to Jack, he noticed the tanks were already on the move as he walked over to the motor pool to load up in the buggies that the Cylons had salvaged. Climbing into the passenger seat, his convoy raced to get ahead of the tanks knowing that they were going to cause a shit storm with the Cylons that they had only began the first time they came here.

Watching as Michael and his team left down the corridor, Sam walked over to where Mason stood with Greer and his team. "Μείνετε ασφαλείς, γέρο. Ας κλωτσήσει κάποιο γάιδαρο τοστιέρα," she said in Tauron. (Stay safe, old man. Let's kick some toaster ass.) She patted Greer lightly on the shoulder before turning back to her friend. "Αίμα για το αίμα." (Blood for blood.) Smiling at the Colonel, Sam grabbed the remainder of her gear and walked down the ramp. She found her way through the marsh area that they'd landed in, until she caught up with Michael and the others. Burtof was close behind her, jogging through the muck as well. "We're ready. Let's get moving," she said, propping her M-4 on her shoulder. Mason knocked on her helmet as he always did before they went into battle...."you to kid...lets scrape the filth off our home" he watched her leave then turned to tom "thereare some good rail gun mounted on each corner of every building if we can power them up they will be much useful....let make them work for it they will rust in all this wet land on ground " he took up one of the tactical masks and slipped it on "i agree i rather not die before i get to kill toasters"looking back at greer "mask up Sgt"Picking up his helmet, he slipped it on as he noticed the change in position and also that Jack and Romo had left for a new target meaning a good portion of the crew was gone leaving Rebecca in charge of a skeleton crew. Tapping his radio, he warned Rebecca that they were rolling out as he started down to the hanger deck to get off of the ship; ordering his fire team to move out as he moved past the ramp onto the dusty ground waiting for the Colonel and where they were going to next.

Ordering his fire team to take point, Michael could see the moon light as he unpacked one of the UAV's before sending it airborne to begin mapping. Turning towards Sam, he couldn't see much in the way of forests but knew from orbit that Tauron was mostly a desert; "There appears to be a small village a few miles out, it'll allow you to get some rest with your team we'll stand watch after all can't have you sleep deprived," he knew she was tired just by the way she looked where he on the other hand had a stiff bunk onboard the Venture to rest in. Using the moon light, he started down the make shift road made by the tanks, knowing that they can't always use roads knowing the Cylons would expect that. Sam stifled a yawn, she didn't want her team seeing that she was nearly out of it. She felt almost relieved when Michael mentioned something about a village. "So you're telling me I look that bad, huh?" She chuckled, motioning her team to follow along by the tanks. "I guess you're right, I'm not much good if I'm tempted to fall asleep every other second. Just don't start the fight without us," Sam said, walking along side of Michael. She looked over her shoulder to see Burtof following closely behind. She knew the man was ready to go. But rest sounded better and better, as she hadn't slept since they began their trip to Virgon before.

But rest sounded better and better, as she hadn't slept since they began their trip to Virgon before. Noticing the tanks moving out a different direction, he knew the tanks had different plans which he didn't mind considering the tanks would be drawing attention quick to them. Turning to Sam as he continued to walk, "You do look pretty tired and can't have you exhausted when we do get in that big fire fight which I'm sure that Picon and Jack are looking forward to right now," hearing word from his scouts that they were securing the town but also that they had found some wheels for them. Keeping his rifle pointed towards the ground, he spotted the Venture flying over them as he turned to the horizon to see the sun starting to come over it; "5 hours of sleep and my men will keep guard if anything happens one of my men will wake you," walking into the small village as he noticed his Marines taking up positions on top of a few buildings.

Stepping off of the ramp, he turned to his Marines as they soon took point to wait for Mason to get his barrings as he turned to the Colonel; "Michael and Sam are at an old village by the marshlands but the capital is still burning from when the Picon Colonel destroyed it and with it a basestar so it wasn't for nothing," glancing around to notice mostly just a dust bowl of a planet.

"Alright, 5 hours. But I swear, I will kick your sorry ass if you don't save a toaster or two for me." Sam laughed and lightly elbowed Michael before heading over to one of the buildings that was now being guarded. She hated the idea of sleeping in a possible combat zone, but it was better than passing out in the middle of a fight.
Motioning to Burtof, she said, "Get some sleep too, Burtof. We'll get to shoot some clankers soon enough." Sam found one of the makeshift cots and flopped down. She tossed and turned, now finding it hard to get any rest with thoughts of Tauron on her mind. The other colonies saw it as a hell hole and nothing more. But it was more than that. She was afraid that all the work in the worlds wouldn't restore it to it's former glory. Pushing the thoughts away, she focused on the happier times and eventually drifted off to sleep.

Nodding, he moved to a defense-able position as his men prepared to settle for a few hours but that's really all they got till the Cylons showed up.
3 Hours Later...Bullets ripped through the village as Centurions still attempted to take the village only to be held off by snipers, it was almost like the Cylons were watching them the entire time but didn't know what they were dealing with. As more heavy raiders landed to drop off Centurions, Michael knew they couldn't hold this single spot forever as he radioed in to get the armored division to assist; dropping down from his perch to wake up Sam. Kicking open the door, he walked over to her as he yelled; "Colonel, get your ass up," taking cover behind the window as a few Centurions shot through it before he fired back. Undoing his pack, he pulled out a few of his larger magazines knowing soon that the Venture would have to send out a raptor full of ammunition for them.
Getting a 20 minute ETA from Jack, he knew they could hold but it was going to be difficult as the Centurions attempted to dig in close quarters; still having bullets rip into their little defense-able position. Yelling again, he could see Sam rolling in her sleep, "Sam, get your ass up," he needed extra hands on deck especially now.

Rolling behind the buggies, Jack could only guess that they were going towards what appeared to be one of the largest Cylon airfields and if they took it out then the Cylons would have to launch from orbit instead of the ground. This attack would reduce their reaction time and may allow them to do more on the ground or that's at least what he was hoping for as they continued at full speed then he got the call that he knew was going to change that. The UAV showed that Cylon forces were attacking Michael's position and they were doing it at full force which meant they too were attempting to send a clear message.
Radioing in with Romo, they both seemed to agree that covering Michael would be a good call and would help them later in their current mission; turning around as they pushed it into overdrive to get there in twenty minutes.

Rolling off of the cot and onto the hard floor, Sam forced her eyes open. "What the frak?" she grumbled crawling across the floor and reaching up to grab her gun on a nearby table. She thought she'd just been dreaming, that she was running from the sounds of gun fire the day Tauron was attacked. The only thing that told her it wasn't was the sound of Michael's voice yelling.
Seeing that Burtof was already wide awake and perched up near the windows firing on the enemy, Sam hurried over and knelt down beside Michael. "Alright, I'm up!" she yelled, and began firing back at the enemy as well.

Taking down another Centurion, he tapped his earpiece as he ordered his men to cover him as he pulled out what frag grenades he had; jumping over the window as he rushed towards a destroyed car. Tossing out his grenades, he noticed the Cylons jumping for cover as he shot into them; knowing that he had to hold out just a little bit longer so the tanks can tear through them. He could hear rumbling in the distance but then again it could be the raiders who had been landing and launching for a while now, ordering his men to get the rocket launchers out to bring down the raiders still inbound for them. Reloading, he set his rifle aside as he pulled out his pistol and began to fire upon the Centurions that were attempting to get close to him; wondering where in the hell the tanks were.

Placing a map over a rock mason weighed it down with his compus "ok 30 miles till we hit the old air field this ridge line should get us there quick and cut some time before night.....the capital we will run by later, was there any reports of troops there?" Mason gestured for greer to take point and the squad moved forward. he picked up his helmet and mask and fallowed suit.

Glancing over the intelligence from the UAV, "The UAV reports there are 3 Basestars sitting on the rubble of the old city with enough defenses to stay there as long as they want," moving forward with the Colonel as his Marines moved forward, "before we left Terra, they sent us a prototype virus which will do some nasty stuff to Cylons if we can inject it into the Hybrid but its a prototype so just hoping for the best."

Driving over hills, Romo had prepared his M-4 much the same way his gunner was preparing as well; knowing pretty soon their ambush skills would be put to the test. Ordering the tanks to begin opening fire on the raiders, his buggies raced over the hill as they collided with the Centurion lines; ripping through them with .50 caliber fire as the tanks rolled up behind to take on the heavy raiders. Missiles from the tanks ripped through the air taking down the reinforcements before running through the Centurions leaving only scrap behind. Climbing out of his buggy, he shot another Centurion trying to get up before approaching Michael; "I'll see about getting a raptor full of ammunition to be dropped here and we'll go as far as needed but we'll be going to the capital for some unfinished business."
