Raptor 863 floated, hopefully undetected, in the atmosphere of Helios Prime. Ensign Shay Jansen looked through the list of Colonial frequencies, hoping the away team would be on one of them. *Hello? This is Ensign Jansen of the Battlestar Atlantia.* She released the comm button and waited, hearing quite a bit of static coming through. *Is anybody getting this? Hello?* All she could do wait sit and wait, and hope nothing serious had happened to the Admiral and his team.

Switching over to his pistol, he covered both Rebecca and Jack before calling over the Admiral and Zoe. Hearing a faint signal, he tapped his radio to respond; “Raptor, this is the rescue team on the ground, we'll be in orbit in 5 minutes and we have injured.”
Falling back, he began strapping in knowing this was going to feel like the old shuttle launch he had years ago.

*Running back to the group setting off the G4 flipping there truck's. Sling the rifles to my back criss crossing my arm's, grabbing my pistol's. Sight them in as I squeezes the triggers, picking them off. Hearing the count down as I dash inside just before lift off. Laying there bleeding breathing hard, reaching over with my left hand to my right hand. Flexing my hand as I brush the right silver enameled disc, the the disc spirals open into the cuff. The Nanites then crawl out over my skin, my body covered as I just lay there catching my breath. Looking over toe see the stars slowly rising up in my seat*
"Zoe don't worry well take you in, you have a home now. Thomas sorry for break protto call back there, your lives come first. So shall we blow the bridge now?"

"Not now," strapping in as he tossed around rebreathers, "once we can get clear of the atmo we'll blow it otherwise we won't have the speed to break orbit and just crash back down," slipping on his rebreather as the doors closed. Starting up the process, he amplified the speed by 100% before having the lights turn out as the lift started up.
Slowly accelerating, the lift soon hit max speed as they raced through the atmo and soon into space; blowing up the base as it ejected them into a low orbit.

Taking deep controlled breaths, he flipped on his vest light as he turned to the rest of them; “Too bad we can't do that again,” laughing as he undid his straps. Floating in zero g, he tapped his radio as it linked with the raptor, “Colonial raptor this is Michael Thrax requesting pick up. Currently in low orbit and looking forward to going home.”
Rewrapping his wound, he knew Sam would kick his ass for getting hurt again but at this point she could be thankful.

Bringing the raptor about, Shay hit the comm button to respond to the away team. *Roger that, Thrax. ETA three minutes.* Hitting the thrusters, the Ensign guided the ship through the atmosphere, keeping a constant eye out for any enemy contacts. She soon located the team, bring the raptor in to their position. *Let's hurry up and get out of here.* Shay popped the hatch and waited for the team to get themselves on board.

*Reaching out grabbing Zoe guiding her into the Raptor. Making sure the others get on-board safely before I climb in. Closing the hatch behind, flipping the O2 switch pressurizing the the raptor.*
"Thanks for picking us up,takes up home oh a please double check on the med team."
*Returning to the back taking seat*
"Micheal, Jack you two just hang in there. Jack R&D will work on your hand and armor"

Climbing in, he sat down on the deck as he took long breathes and didn't help with the pain. Grabbing his kit, he bit down on a flashlight as he poured surgical nanos into his wound. Minutes later, he glanced down to notice it was healed which gave him time to enject plasma to replace the blood loss; “Thank the gods we're off couldn't use my nanos on the ground.”
Getting up to unzip his vest, he turned to the Admiral, “Still resigning my comission but would like to stay onboard...and Admiral, I think you earned some trust among the crew.”

"Still resigning my commission but would like to stay on-board...and Admiral, I think you earned some trust among the crew." "Helmet off"*The visor retracts into the helmet as it the pulls apart slide over my head and under my chin into the suit. Cocking my head over as I check my gun as I put them away* "My friend Thanks for saying that, I do hope your right. I know keeping ever in the dark like that was the wrong choice. I have paid for it, I don't know how many crew I have lost over this. I do hope they can come back, I really would never put everyone in harms way. Hell you saw me take off to draw fire down there, I mean it I will gladly give my life just to save one or the whole fleet. The Atlantia is my family but it also time I think of the fleet . Thomas I know you guy's be collecting data since that's what you guy's do. Anyway I want you to get me a copy of all this data, everything you have on the Cylon's, there weapons. I also want everything your team as of Terra and don't give me that classified bull either."

Turning to the Admiral as he tucked his tactical pad into his vest, "Sir, most of the intel is in the Intelligence room but it could be a while considering intelligence on the Cylons is pretty rare right now," sitting up as he held onto his P90.

Holding on as the ship jumped, he turned to Tom as he looked over the Admiral; “Talk to the council on Terra and see about getting our old ship prepared for a long trip,” pausing as he turned to Yogi, “you and your crew have been sheltered by Terra maybe getting your Colonies back would keep your crew. We have essentially a scout ship that can fly ahead and maybe even secure a beach head but would like to discuss more about it once we're onboard the ship.”

And thank you Thomas"
*Looking back to Zoe* "You my dear can stay in with me, I have a spare room."

Thank you and I may take you up on that offer later. But right now, I must get use to be with others... I am sure I will come around eventually. She gets nervous at the thought of being around so many people. She was after all 14 when her family and herself crashed on Prime. Now 19, she is socially challenged.

Getting up, he could see the Atlantia as he turned to Michael; “Our old ship will be ready but good chances are we'd have just enough fuel to get to the Colonies but I'll leave it to you to get some Taurons signed on,” pausing as he turned to the Admiral, “going back to the Colonies would also be an intelligence boost considering the Cylons there may be using tactics unseen during any attack even the failed attempt to conquer Terra...could even bring their downfall.”

*Cocking my head as we wait, looking around and out the window*
"Ok Lieutenant Shay please just take us in, I'll do the paperwork later."
