Hopefully the space explosion along with our fiery landing would convince anyone who might have seen the ship that we had been destroyed, and this was just leftover debris burning up in reentry. Outside time it was dusk, so that would help as well for finding a hiding place.
We started firing the engines in quick bursts to break our speed and regain control. Soon we were cruising over a mostly destroyed and flattened forest on the mainland. It had been close enough to the blast area to take damage. Some of the trees were still burning and smoke was everywhere. Now to find a place to hide.
Sensors eventually found a waterfall, clogged with debris and dead animals, that had a cave behind it. And luck abound, it was big enough for the Raider. We flew in, turned to face the watery exit, and landed. Grabbing another case the pilot and I finally set foot on Terra.
Once out of the cave and waterfall I open up the case to reveal 2 miniaturized recon drones (thank you manufacturing Terran meatsacks, was glad to find these in the Ares cargo inventory). The pilot and I soon have them programmed. The 1st will head towards the destroyed islands, staying low to ground/tree level to avoid detection. The 2nd will have to fly to a low orbit and makes its way to the Capital. Programmed to hide during the day it will try to make it's way to the outside of government offices. Equipped with audio and visual enhancements and extra batteries life, these drones can function for days before needing to return.
The drones are launched and any evidence is removed from the area before we head back. Once inside I send a message to the Ares commander, then sit to consider my next move.

SF Base Kilo-76Of course a kilo base...the shelter was made to survive a direct him from a kiloton nuke but the materials it was made of wouldn't survive forever against some 10,000 times stronger than that. While flying on auto-pilot, Michael had discovered this craft could fly to low orbit but they had a jump drive tucked away underneath the deck. It shouldn't even surprised him considering once they Terrans figured out how to miniaturize the drive then they started placing it on anything and everything to examine how to improve those craft. The mountain wall began to open with stones tumbling down that had laid undisturbed till now. Staying in flight mode, he eased the power off while the Marine leveled them out for a landing. Rolling to a stop, the cabin doors opened while they shutdown the engines and soon switched everything to standby mode. Once more waiting on his men as he stepped out of the Stallion knowing that they'll be spending time on the tight space while waiting on the Independence. SF Base Kilo-76 Getting dressed in the brown fatigues, John noticed that everyone was also getting low orbital space suit which likely meant their task on Terra was complete. The space suit itself is often worn on Ares by the Marines there but rarely seen on Terra. The markings represented the old SF 7th Legion that once protected this area but now likely on Kobol. Slipping into the suit, the hangar doors opened to reveal the Admiral and his Marines in the same suit; "Just couldn't get away." Laughing a bit, they began to approach the craft with uncertainty of what the next mission was to come. SF Base Kilo-76 Slipping into the space suit was tighter than slipping into a Colonial Flight suit but this was needed for the extended journey across Ares. The Stallion would get them there but a traditional landing was out of the question so landing by thruster pack or parachute was the only option. Opening the interior door, Michael smirked as John passed by with the team while Jon and the medical teams left for the airport. Part of him thought he would miss Terra but this place wasn't home anymore...home for him as the Battlestar. Walking back to the Stallion, he slipped the helmet on for they disconnected the doors for quick exit as he began prep work for the one time use FTL jump drive.
This base was already irradiated so not much sense on leaving it operational and even more they needed to conserve fuel. Pulling the thrusters in, they target the atmosphere but still with the weight it would be a eight minute fall...

Knowing Fleshcrusher was in place on the planet was beneficial. She sent a message back to Fleshcrusher. "Excellent! Command to act has been given. Expect our arrival very soon."

JUMP
The STAR suddenly appears above the planet as the upper and lower parts begin to twist and slowly come together as the Star powers up its weaponry and prepares to target the area below. Knowing that the defenses around the planet are less than 100% the attack will be successful.
As the axis finally lock together the first wave begins............ Cylon Raiders leave the landing bay wave after wave heading down to attack below. The Star will soon begin firing its weapons against the humans.

{{Hidden in space and invisible to Dradis detection}}
The Star began to send bombs toward the Government Buildings. Raiders flying in the typical pattern of threes firing rapid fire bullet rounds into the running crowds in the streets, mowing them down. The ground begins to run red with blood shed. The attacks have just begun.

The first drone to return was the one sent to the islands. It was quickly retrieved and its data copied to the Raiders system before being returned to storage. The arrival of the Star and the following attacks was not expected, but welcomed. Deciding to do some cleanup and get back into the swing of things (so to speak) we launched and headed towards the blast site. Apparently there were survivors. Good for them. We could use the target practice. As we got airborne a signal was detected from the Star regarding the Device. Interesting. This could be a nice asset for the future, if I don't kill him first. An update was sent to the drone to find and return to us as soon as it's mission was completed. Now to deal with those survivors... (Continued in Frondal Islands, Southern Hemisphere...)

Location: DRADIS Control Center, 25 kilometers outside Delos
One of six DRADIS Control Centers located on Terra, responsible for the tracking of the planetary weapons designed by the Gondwans for the defense of the planet. Although the weapons themselves are manually operated, the tracking of targets is controlled by the DRADIS Control Centers. There are 127 planet-based weapons scattered across Terra, all tied into these 4 DRADIS Control Centers, assigned into sections.
It had been discovered that the Cylons had managed to infiltrate those Centers and taken them off-line. One of the Centers was located on the Frondal Islands. The recent nuclear detonation, so powerful it pretty much wiped everything and everyone located in the Frondal Islands off the face of the planet, took out the DRADIS Control Center there.
The other locations are as follows:
Corinth City-Fleet HQ City of Sparta-20 kilometers north of the City at an abandoned Spartan military installation Ersea City-Located at the military installation in the City Delos City-25 kilometers north of the City
Only the Delos City location was unaffected by the infiltration of Cylon-Human Hybrids. An attentive TDF Captain, Kiera Zalon, challenged the "DRADIS Technicians" who came to perform maintenance, something that was not on the report that was sent each day. It should be noted that these "DRADIS Technicians" were all female, extremely attractive females. The Cylons had counted on, rightfully so, that sending in these particular females would distract the human crews of the DRADIS Control Centers, thus permitting the sabotage that had been undertaken. In the event of any challenge from those crews, the Hybrids were instructed to take the installations by force and destroy them with explosives.
This was not necessary in Corinth and Sparta. It was necessary though in Ersea, where the Officer-In-Charge, a TDF Major, Liam Jericho, saw through the Hybrid ruse and although he and his security personnel acted quickly, one of the Hybrids was able to detonate her explosives, killing everyone in the center and destroying the center itself.
Fortunately though, Captain Kiera Zalon immediately knew these were not humans nor was their mission a legitimate one. Within mere seconds of the Hybrids presenting themselves, she shot four of them dead and wounded the fifth one and prevented her from detonating her explosives. Unfortunately, with only one DRADIS Center still in operation, it could not handle the tracking of all 127 weapons sites. The Cylons had still managed to take down the planets defenses. The race was on to fix what the Hybrids had messed up in Corinth and Sparta. If those two sites could be brought back on line, the planets defenses would be fully operational.
Only time would tell.....

As Lukana Moldoran, Assistant Secretary of Labor (NPC)
Standing in what now constituted as her office (a tent that was erected on the grounds of the University of Corinth), Lukana stood at the podium, preparing to address the crowd of people before her. She looked at her assistant to make certain they were ready to broadcast. Clearing her throat, she spoke into the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of Terra, my name is Lukana Moldoran and I am here to announce that your government is still here and we are in the process of rebuilding as I speak. Do not listen to the message of a former member of the military, one how has decided to take by force, the reigns of leadership. General Harperson is not in charge, I am. I hereby declare that any and all persons who take up arms against my duly appointed government and the citizens of this planet, those persons shall be arrested, tried and executed immediately, regardless of who they are. I am also declaring that ALL military personnel and assets are hereby under the control of the newly constituted government. Since our fearless President decided to evacuate herself and her friends from Terra, I am officially assuming the office of President of Terra, complete with all powers and authorities therein. More information shall be provided in the future. Thank you all."
