Setting down his warhead as well, he placed charges in the old tylium fuel line that ran the length of the city and if it went it would at least burn the rest of the Cylon forces. Hopping on down, he landed between two Centurions as he quickly took them down with only his survival knives as he started back to the buggies but he did take a small injury to his side when a talon from one of the Centurions cut into him. Covering it up, he took a seat in a buggy just as the rest of his men returned as well as Tom's. Ordering his driver to roll out, he sent a quick message to Maximo to pull out to keep his armored division from getting caught in the blast radius; while he and Tom raced towards the center of the city which would be one of the safest spots inside the radius not to mention they could bring down the flak net to allow the Venture to take out key areas.
The marble began to rupture in flames as the tylium and gas lines began to explode before sending out a massive shockwave that caused all the supports to shake as if the city was going fall from underneath them and slowly it did. Block by block, the ground began to collapse and soon it became a race to get to the center which they did in just the nick of time; driving right into the lobby and began to erupt in gun fire as the gunners took on the Centurions.

Narrowly escaping the destruction of marble, Tom opened fire on the Centurions as he hopped out of his buggy to get better cover and advance on the enemy position which he did slowly as the gunners tore them to shreds. Running ahead, Tom slipped into a room full of skinjobs as he cut them down before accessing the computer they were working at; noticing they were distributing orders to the Cylon forces and even more controlling the frak cannons. Plugging his tactical pad in, he worked on sending a shutdown code to the Cylons but knew they would disobey or even ignore it but it also helped him make this the key target for the air to ground missiles onboard the Venture. Opening a com signal to the Venture, he wasted no time to give Michael a sense of direction of where they were as he rushed out of the room; sending a fall back order.
Not bothering with the buggies, they rushed out of the building and began sliding down the side as missiles began raining down onto the building.

Getting the orders, Michael ordered the ship back into atmosphere with the Venture's raptors in formation around them as their forward batteries loaded up with missiles before firing. Watching the computer track them to the building, he watched the collapse just as the Venture began hovering over it; opening the pods and dropping lines to them. Sending pickup orders to the Armored division, he looked over the consoles only to notice he got a confirmation of his message from the Atlantia; pulling up one of the cameras from the pods to keep track of their insertion onboard the ship.
Lifting off from the area, he headed for the old spaceport to pick up the armored division; ordering the raptors to stay with them along with a raptor to stay in orbit.

Getting back on board the Venture, he could see the advantage of having a small ship like the Venture active during operations like that as he climbed up onto the deck; noticing the men now relaxing. Feeling the ship landing, he ordered his fire teams to get onto the hull to provide cover as the ramp lowered down onto metallic ground. Hearing that the armored division was a mile out, he grabbed a sniper rifle as he stepped out onto the deck; wondering what the Terrans had planned considering their Battlestar was en-route.
Moving out of the way as Maximo and his tanks rolled out onto the deck, he coordinated them to ports to slide so there would be more room onto the deck; closing the ramps as the ship prepared to take off once more.

Orbiting the planet in a recon raptor, Lieutenant Shay made a slow decent. Getting close enough to scope the planet side over, she cued her gun cameras and took several pictures before continuing onward. She hoped nothing would detect her as she moved through the atmosphere. The idea of possibly being shot down again made her nervous.
She took several more series of pictures before pulling out and heading into higher atmosphere. Shay then began relaying the information back to the Atlantia. *CIC, this is Lieutenant Jansen. Sending recon photos to you now. The planet seems to have two primary refueling stations, we should be able to get enough fuel for the fleet. Second station is heavily guarded.*

Reemerging from jump, the raptor flew straight for the debris field before it onto the largest chunk left over; a pod from an old Mercury class Battlestar. Opening the ramp, Michael stepped out onto the hull as he looked over the debris floating around him; "Let's hope the raiders don't decide to venture out here," gathering the cutting gear as Tom began examining sections to cut and to decide if it was the right density.

Cutting another sheet of armor away, Tom had been roasting in his suit but then again so was Michael; "So what didn't you tell Sam in that little message," noticing the silence as he dragged another piece to the sled, "by your silence, I take it you said just enough to have Colonials dig through the Venture after this. Gods dammit, if it ever got out that all that supposed Cylon tech was actually 13th Tribe tech then all of Terra would turn on us in a heart beat," walking back over as he grabbed another sheet knowing the trip back was going to be a bit longer since they could't jump on back.

Cutting carefully with the plasma torch, he was amazed on how perfectly this old ship was constructed but he still had to deal with Tom; "Look we're the good guys and if we win then nobody will question us. As for the Colonials, they want their Colonies back and with limited resources they won't question us so its a win-win which we need. As for Sam, she's trustworthy and if she was born on Terra, she would have been in the SF program but even as a Tauron, shes just as tough," getting up as he cracked a few glow sticks, "lets get back there, oh and Major, don't question my decisions we still have an operational brig," starting to the raptor after securing the sled.

He had been here before. Virgon then looked a lot different now, thousands of miles of forest gone. A small wall which outlined a massive complex with guns and even Terran hybrid raiders on the ground with a troop ship on the ground, spotting a small antenna as he ordered James to destroy it before moving into a drop position. Attaching the rope to deck, the bay doors opened as they slid down it while the larger caliber guns shredded it and gave the green light for the raptors to begin moving into position as he heard Jack over the radio; 'Alpha, move forward and begin entering the main facility. Remember don't engage unless your being engaged and this operation is now under your command, Commander,' tapping his radio as they entered the warehouse, "Copy, that secure the perimeter and begin preparing charges, let's bring this place down once we're done."
Rushing into the warehouse, he noticed not just wooden crates but massive metal shelves as he slid a wall open to see Centurions in slots and appeared to be ready to be shipped; moving on till they stepped onto a platform. Feeling the platform starting to lower down...

Landing his raptor, he piled out of the raptor with his single Nomad and two SF's as he ordered his men to begin rigging the gun towers and aircraft with explosives for he knew the aircraft would be the majority of the explosions. Glancing down at his tactical pad as he noticed Alpha Team got disconnected but quickly wrote it off since who knows Marcus might jammers after all the man was smart enough to attack in the middle of a storm using brute strength to tear though the wall and then used them as a trap to the Colonials. Equally intelligent but he's also evaded Jack's spies which gave them no photo and using the Admiral's information that he's a Seven which is rare in the Empire. Keeping the raptors on the ground, he was prepared to leave at any moment as men rigged the Centurions inside the warehouse; rigging almost 200 pounds of explosives which wouldn't level but hopefully set him back some.

Lowering down into the base, Michael noticed his tactical pad wasn't responding with his camera as he pulled off his helmet as he set it down on the platform before noticing glass walls around them; it was a massive assembly area with Centurions marching into shipping containers. Suddenly, the Centurions turned and began firing onto them, killing one SF that was with him as they dropped down onto the deck as they opened fire back at the Centurions; after a few minutes moved further down, entering another area. Passing into the resurrection area, the Centurions there were already alerted as they began opening fire on them; taking down another SF as Michael used the body of one dead SF for cover as he opened fire back. Finally the lift came to a stop as they reached the building area, Centurions were building Centurions and now they were focused on them as he and the other SF had ran for cover; changing out magazines as he noticed a Centurion moving behind the SF as it snapped his neck. Killing it right away, he soon emptied the room as he sent a signal to Jack through his radio while moving over to the dead SF; "This is Commander Thrax, send a signal to Cerberus to come in for extraction, you guys begin pulling out and I'll start my way to the surface after I plant a few gifts for these frakkin bastards," unclipping his pack as he set the explosives in his pack on a timer and tossed them on the a dead Centurion.
Moving into a maintenance corridor, he could hear the Centurions but also humans communicating as they worked on trying to find him as he opened a channel to MayDay; "Take off now, I can't get to you and if you stay then you won't be able to take off," setting up a trip line behind him as he started up a ladder...

Thirty minutes on the surface, they were just starting to get into fire fights with Centurions as they tried to hold the Landing Zone, unlike all the times before they were fighting against far superior numbers and they had their backs against the wall. Losing members of his team, he heard Michael's call as he began ordering men back to the raptors; "We're starting now," spotting Jack making the call to the Cerberus as he headed for the raptor. Getting shot in the back, he fell into the raptor as he medics quickly got to work on him as he yelled out in pain; he could feel the bullet burning between his ribs as blood poured out of his back.

Closing the channel as he boarded his raptor, he knew now this was a mistake, the Cylons knew they would come here and they baited them into attacking which resulted in the deaths of so many of his men. Now he could only hope that they could hold off another Cylon attack, his own raptor had only one man in it, this attack hurt them and he began to wonder if Marcus had a spy in their own ranks; that could be the answer why he was one step ahead most of the time.

Coming out of the jump, Sam reached for the comm to connect to their teams down on the planet, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the ship would be taking hits. "Colonel Martin to all teams, the Cerberus is ready and waiting, get your asses up here." She paused for only a moment, letting out a low sigh. The irritation, and worry, was getting to her, and she'd already decided that if something were to happen, then she would take a raptor down herself to look for Michael. "Jack, do you have any word on Michael? Did he make it to the surface?"
