History of Darous: Darous itself was a nation who sat between 2 nations but had no walls which meant when the war came, her soldiers held off for 3 years before being overran. Everyone was slaughtered and brought the destruction of one of the most advance city of Terra. The city itself is currently 100 years old and holds symboligy to all Terrans of their bloody past. Flying into the city, Michael opened up the side as he looked over the city as he tapped his radio; "Jackel, get the south end of the city, Rebecca get the western half of the city while I take care of the northern half." Landing onto the top of the building, he spoke softly over the radio as he started down onto the building below; "White smoke is for AA gun positions but we're going to need snipers on the top with everyone on the ground...let's blanket the area. Forward base will be in the gardens."

Thomas remember reading about Darous in grade school how it used to be a city that the gods were envy of and how the Terrans were so divided over it. The war lasted only five years but afterwards they destroyed Darous which lead to it being abandoned and here they were back to reclaim its glory. Dropping down on the roof top with his Special Ops men, he ordered them off of the roof top as he spotted a few raiders overhead; "Michael, I suggest red smoke after all white is too obvious," hearing his approval as he popped off his first one in a torn out section in the building.
Running down the crumbled section of the staircase, he pushed his men to reach the ground as the old tile work fell off just by the wind and the combination of them being there.

Reaper sat in the copilot seat of one of the support raptors he looked at the ruins of larg city, it looked much like most of Tauron cities. he pointed to the white smoke "Set us and the AA gun down there" he looked over the map and scratched his two day unshaven face, then looked at the rising sun light that came through the view port, it was warm on his hands. he snapped from his day dream as they thumped down ontop of one of the buildings.............(not finished )

Hitting the ground, Michael's team began racing to the gardens where a command outpost would be setup; sprinting over the cobblestones. Having his men secure the area as he unclipped his pack, he started across a small bridge to a ghezbo sitting in the middle; unpacking as he pulled out his laptop and solar recharging gear. Connecting to Terran Intelligence, he stood by while his men started up the water purification systems along with cleaning up the place to set down sandbags and put up a defense; "We've landed in Darous with no resistance and have started setting down AA units but without air support they might outflank us," interrupting him Terran Intelligence began their response, "it's good you've landed and your setting up a defense but Terran Air Support is out of commission...we're still rebuilding our air fleet which means its on the Colonials to defend," responding back, "if it comes down to a fall back point do we have one?"
Waiting for Terran Intelligence, they responded back as they uploaded a pair of coordinates just for him; "The Darous Naval Intelligence Office was built basically as a fortress and has yet to be tested considering no one could've ever gotten inside of it. We'll send an uplink and get the doors opened but that'll be your fall back point. Don't abandon the city...this victory means more to us more than the war itself."
Keeping everything setup, he started out of the gardens and to the coordinates as they headed into the more debris filled sections of the city.

Eyes had remained closed since they left the hillside as Sam sat in the back of the raptor. The ship weaved around the various buildings, the jarring of the raptor made her finally open her eyes. She looked out at the abandoned city. Somehow, she'd managed to get separated from Mason, Michael, and the other marines when they all boarded their ships. The woman signaled to the two marines beside her to start gearing up, she grabbed her own weapon and loaded in a clip of ammo.
Bruised, dirty, and tired, Sam let out a small yawn. It would all be worth it once the planet was rid of the Cylons. They kept fighting until that happened. This world couldn't suffer the same fate as the Colonial's homes had. "There ... land over there," She leaned forward and spoke to the pilot, pointing to a clear spot near a downed building. The raptor made its approach and slowly touched down. Sam spoke with the marines for a moment before grabbing a new headset. She clicked the radio a few times until it was patched through to the rest of the team, unsure if they'd landed or not yet. "Colonel Briggs ... AA gun is set up on our end. Will await further orders." She tapped the earpiece and waited, she would more than likely have to rendezvous with the others on foot.

*Watching the Heavy Raider jump away, turning Dradis back on. Knowing Alex always has something up his sleeve, just hope he get stuck in a space net. Detecting a fire with explosions, as some old ruins go up in smoke. Pushing the yoke flying off and away heading to the nearest city. Passing Darous City city limits sign, still in silent mode pulling back veering up to get a better view.*
"My godds Bri look at that this city is destroyed, hope Corinth was better off."
*Flying around the city undetected then flying in for a better view.*

Climbing over the old cars and the debris from the surrounding buildings, Michael and his team dropped down in front of the building. Noticing all the debris pushed away from it, they cautiously started over to the building as the massive doors opened up to a dusty lobby which had no look of a war zone like other places. Peering over the instructions on how to flip on power, he noticed everything was routed here which mean with a few goo turns of a valve the city would have running water and electricity which would make it easier on them. Radioing Rebecca, Michael soon had the roof top pad extended as he worked on powering up key sections of the city; "Rebecca, I want you to excess what we have here and see if it's really worth defending."

"copy sam lets meet up at the gardens inform the pilots to stay grounded we are footing it there now" and with that him and his unit jumped by rope to the ground and bounded off toward the out post. The sun was still rising with no sign of cylons in the area, the team marched through abandoned stores and buildings taking a short cuts where ever they could find them. he clicked his head set "romeo to tango, status update"

*Banking right as I swoop down low, watching spot Briggs as he repelling down a building. I wonder how come his here maybe I'll surprise him. Engines at 5% still in silent mode Hovering down the street 7 metron's above the street 4 metron's behind his team. Fallowing them down the street, pulling back the yoke. Veering up then straight to the garden center. Opening the flaps pulling the nose up turning the ship upside down. Hitting the air stabilizer's, the ship slowly rotates up-right. Hitting the landing gear switch and the canopy. The canopy un seals releasing presser with a Hiss, folding back behind the seats. Touching down lightly watching Reaper and his team move down the road. Cutting the engines as the, checking the ionized bubble that makes the perception filter*
"See this Bri this is the plasma screening running of a electron generator. This creates a ionized bubble around the ship, this field then acts as perception filter. The human eye can't pick up all light filters thus tricking ones sight. But you can see through this but only when looking out the corner of your eye. But shh here they come, lets have some fun."
*Shifting my head as the men near as I the ready to throw my voice*
"Colonel Brigg's why aren't you in Corinth City yet."

Tapping his radio, Michael concluded his work at the Naval Office; "Tango to Romeo, got Plan B assembled if we ever have to use it...advance scouts reported in 2 hours ago that Cylon forces south of the city are inbound and will be here in 22 hours. Myself and my Terran Spec Ops here will setup defenses accordingly but will need you to set up more if need be; we'll use an old tactic that I doubt the Cylons know. Tango inbound to the southern sector ETA 10 minutes with 500 men."
Flipping off his end, he knew Reaper would have the men to cover him after all short of the rest of the army in Corith they were a linch point for the continent. Climbing into several old Humvees which bore the emblem of the city and .50 caliber turrets that hadn't seen combat till now; were going to be put to the test against another enemy attempting to take the city for themselves.

Setting up on the other end of the bridge leading out of the city, he ensured that any retreat would be well covered as his men began pumping the fuel from the various refueling stations as they placed it in barrels. Placing them in the back of a truck, they took them down the road as Michael setup in the back of a humvee with the rest of his Spec. Ops setting up for a defensive battle. It's all about surprise and here they had plenty of cover till the Cylons would spring the trap and start off one hell of a battle.
Kissing his dog tags, he knew he was making one hell of a call for Darous even more for putting himself out here but it was something that was needed. Tapping his radio as he broadcasted to all the units in the city as he peered out of his scope; "We are the troops of Terra, we are the best she has no matter how long we've been fighting with one another its all come to this point. Darous may not be the capital but she's more important than that, she's the heart and soul of every Terran and this is time for her vengeance. Fight for every part of her, don't surrender and she'll live again not as a city that fell a century ago but as a city that rose through the ashes of the past. This is Thrax, south gate...let's kick these tin can bastards out of here."

"apparently un-boxing the 7 will give us an edge in this war, but i dont belive a word ace says anymore" *Reaching taking the data card from Reaper, reaching back placing it in a pocket. Hoping the Nanites of my suit can save the data along as screening it. Listening as he talks about un-boxing* "Hmm will under my order's now one is to un-box anything. Alex is a traitor no one is to listen to him. Now Terran's are one there way,once they get here I will have them spread out and setup check point's. Cotter as Corinth and you guy's have Darous, the rest of the Fleet have space. I have deployed mines and nets before Atlantia came down here. They taken over many planets there not getting this one. So tell me how has it been going down here?"
