Stepping onto solid ground, never in his life time would he ever think he would be on the Cylon Home World, a single Picon who has been fighting dirty with the Cylons on him own world is now fighting on the Cylon's own turf. Watching these SF's setup a base, he walked over to Ramsey as he checked over his G36, he spotted Jack's forces coming but knew Tom and Liam was a good distance off with Cotter which meant they could be here by night time which for him it would be nice to see them all.

Watching Tom run off into the valley after the centurions were taken care of. Turning around he shouted at the convoy to start moving through the valley down to the LZ. Stowing his sniper rifle in the truck as a sergeant hopped into the driver seat and started toward where the General and everyone else was. Setting in the passenger seat Liam started looking over the senior officer that General Harperson had with him. Once he was done with the Juggernauts he went onto the Nomads. He spots a name he hadn't seen in months, his ex-wife. She was a Major now and she was still stuck to Harpersons hip like a lost little puppy. Liam tapped his ear piece and radioed Jack.
"Quinto to Thrax, ETA approximately four hours baring there is no more excitement. How does it look on your end?"
Liam stood by for the reply from Commodore Thrax.

Ordering the Siege tanks to stop, he knew they could hold this position as he answered his radio to Liam as he ordered everyone to head back to the base; "Thrax to Quinto, ETA 3 hours, suggest you be careful but disregard General Harperson's orders," pausing as he turned to a team with him, "keep pushing East, Colonel, I'll cover for you guys but be careful," ordering his small team to double back to Liam's position to reinforce them if need be. He knew what the General was going to try here but since the Nomad's fell under his command, he was going to continue to the push to capture this continent no matter what after all he knew the Cylons would adapt to their tactics eventually.
Climbing onboard the nearest truck, he slipped inside via the window as his group raced back to the beachhead to listen to the General, tapping his radio as he opened a channel to Tom; "Keep an eye on Quinto and don't take too many risks, we'll attempt to regroup later on just keep moving east and get through those mountains."

"Quinto to Thrax, ETA approximately four hours baring there is no more excitement. How does it look on your end?"Liam stood by for the reply from Commodore Thrax. Grinning, it was almost amusing to see the trucks turn around twice but he knew Jack would be taking a risk with the call to disobey the General, packing up his rifle as he started jogging to a new position hopefully to get ahead to provide a better firing position and to watch their ass. Jogging through the valley with his rifle in hand, he jumped over a few fallen trees and debris of old Colonial Vipers that were most likely shot down while the Colonials owned this world but that was ancient history to him. Watching his footing over the rocks, one wrong move and he would be seeing the medics earlier than he would think, slinging his rifle as he used a running start to get up on a cliff; free handing climbing on a slick rock face. Staying close to the rock, he surprised a skin job as he pulled it down over the cliff before he got, tossing down a grenade for a good measure. Using the trees to help him get up the mountain faster, he noticed a dead Centurion at what could only be the best spot as he pushed it aside and tossed its underpowered sniper rifle aside before setting up as he tapped his radio;" Got you all covered, Liam, keep moving and I should be able to meet you all on the other side."

Arriving a bit early, the 10 SF Battlestars took up position around the planet as they unpacked the orbital guns, launching the remaining SF forces with millions of pieces of equipment but not at the intended LZ on the east coast but on top of the Nomad beachhead. Ramsey wasn't going to land into unknown territory without the bulk of his fighting force, popping out of the pod as it landed and putting on his helmet, starting across the sand as his engineers began moving out the massive sheets of armor which would make up the outer wall while the turrets were being moved into position outside the base. They had a million things to do and were doing it all to ensure if there was any counter attack then they wouldn't be caught with their pants down, tapping his radio as his other officers landed; "I'm recalling all teams now! Its time we get bloody and well got a plan to do just that." Landing alongside of the General, she knew the Nomads had done so much in just being here for 6 hours but as a total force they could do so much more yet she knew Jack, not as well Michael, but she knew he would stretch the truth with the General. Spotting only Jack's troops returning, most of them had shedded the armor and went for the classical look which meant only that the Cylons had figured out how to get through this new armor pretty frakkin quick. Holding her P90, she spotted heavy raptors coming in with cargo containers meaning this was their humvees and other supplies to hold or even expand their attack; it was sinking in that they were going to stay here much longer than they anticipated.

Making it back to the base, he stepped out of his truck as it rolled around to the motor pool to get re-armed and fueled to get ready for the next mission as he approached the General; "2 Siege Tanks are 50 miles from here and will remain there with 2 squads to protect them," pausing as he slung his rifle before removing his sun glasses, "Liam and Tom are going to keep heading east," he knew the General would be furious as he crossed his arms, "you put me in charge of Nomad Division so in 30 days when you feel like you should relief me until then I live with my decision," taking a deep breath before following the General over to one of the mobile command centers as they walked inside to see officers working on bringing everything online.

He was furious with Jack then again Jack was much like Michael which meant Michael would have made the same call but there was nothing he could do other than accelerate his plan as he walked into the mobile command center. The orbital guns were already taking out cities with the Battlestars helping with nuclear weapons raining down, spotting the holographic map coming up as intelligence began to pour in thanks to their quick access to the Cylon network; "Alright, well, Liam and Tom are only 20 miles from a Cylon airfield which we need taken out so update their maps and I want Major Black and Romo to take 15 squads and go reinforce them," spotting both Romo and Rebecca leaving as he turned to Jack, "we found the Cylon HQ here," pointing out the island of England as it narrowed down to London, "I'm having Warthogs divert there to engage resistance but we're heading there now so get your Nomads set to go. We have to shut them down before any Basestars decide to respond to their cries of help," shutting down the map as he started out of the room.

Receiving her orders, she didn't expect to be in the field with Liam again and this time he was in command which meant she had to listen to his bullshit orders, jogging over to the gunship as ground crews hitched up humvees for the raptors to tow into battle. Sending a text to Tom, she pulled up their current location before forwarding it to the pilot:
Sliding the door shut, she began changing out of the bulky armor into desert fatigues since the armor was completely useless, feeling the gunship lift off but they weren't alone as 10 other gunships took off with the equal number of raptors carrying their humvees; heading towards the mountain pass where Liam's convoy was.

Listening to Commodore Thrax, he didn't like the idea of heading into the city but he wasn't going to argue with Jack. Knowing that it was only a matter of time when Harperson left Special Forces and Jack was made Commanding Officer of the whole SF. That would put Liam in prime running for Commander of the Nomads, that's if they survived the invasion. Ridding in the truck he heard cannon fire in the distance knowing other divisions of the SF were engaging the Cylons.
"Westin, fall back. We'll pick you up, let the vipers do the clean up."
Quinto said to Tom over the radio. Liam knew that Tom would rather be up ahead but he would rather have him with the group then get himself caught in an ambush.

Liam knew that Tom would rather be up ahead but he would rather have him with the group then get himself caught in an ambush. Receiving a text from Major Black as he began packing up to move around the other side of the mountain to meet up with Liam, tapping his radio as he started his long walk around; "Liam, we have 16 SF teams inbound to join up with us, its being lead by your ex-wife," dropping down onto more stable ground, he stopped as he noticed a trip line which brought him to a dead stop. It was definitely Cylon constructed since the other end was connected to G-4 and also claymore explosives as he wasted no time to disarm it before packing up the explosives before moving towards the convoy, grabbing onto the truck as he opened the passenger door before climbing inside while it was still rolling along; setting his pack and rifle into the back as he sent an update to Liam's tactical pad. Leaning forward, he pulled up the information as he ordered the driver to divert over to that clearing to wait for their reinforcements; "Apparently, our raiders found a valuable target and it would allow them to win the air battle, 10 miles southeast of our current position there is an airbase launching raiders and no warthog can get close enough to it so our objective is to shut it down and secure it till the General can send the Air Corps. to secure it."

Liam sat in the lead truck following the convoy on the map that he had on his pad. Noticing a dozen and a half dots coming from the direction of where the General had set up the base. The Colonel then heard Major Westin say something about his ex-wife.
"Frak me, this is all I need. Her running to General Harperson tell him everything im doing wrong."
Quinto said to himself just loud enough for the sergeant that was driving to hear. The man looked at Liam out of the corner of his eye then looked back on the road. Getting the update to the situation he ordered the driver to lead the convoy to the specified clearing. Grabbing his P90 and stepping out, shedding the armor he noticed he was still in the suit that Tom lent to him. Changing into desert fatigues he clipped his weapon to his vest. Walking back to Toms truck he pushed the talk button on his ear piece. He was about to speak to Rebecca for the first time in months.
"Quinto to Black, whats your ETA?"

Opening a channel to Quinto, she ordered the raptors to take the lead as she opened the door, "Look up," landing in the clearing as the raptors dropped the humvees down for them before leaving with the gunships behind them. Ordering her men to get in the humvees, she shook hands with Tom before walking over to Liam; "Encase you were worried, there wasn't much to tell the General and I did protest about flying out here and joining you Nomad rats but I'm here so deal with it," she knew she had stepped on their toes as she approached her humvee which was already set to go. Setting her rifle down, her trucks began to roll out in front of the convoy before taking the lead, she knew it had to be this way since the Nomads were still a small Division which for now was on a tight leash and she wanted to keep it that way.

Turning to Liam as he stood by the truck, shaking his head as he watching Shepard head for one of the trucks before taking a deep breath; "We may be the Alpha dogs but I see why," cutting off his sentence as he heard the Colonel's remark, giving him a sloppy salute before opening the Driver's side door. Ordering the Marine out of his seat, he took a seat as he flipped on a bit of music in an attempt to calm the situation yet he knew it wasn't going to help since she basically whipped his ass in front of most of his men and even the Marines. Starting up the truck, he continued moving with the convoy as he ordered the Marine to hand him his weapons and get their packs filled, reaching into his vest to pull out his canteen filled with fresh Terran water for he was a bit iffy about the water around here. Setting it down in the cup holder, he sped up as he tried to get in front of the convoy and soon got a front row view on the airbase which was surrounded by anti-air defenses and sand bag wall which meant they had machine gun defenses but they haven't seen the power of a charge like this.
Strapping on his seat belt, he slipped on his sun glasses before sped up without saying anything to Liam as he smashed through the sand bag wall before barrel rolling into the base as they landed back onto their wheels with the engine still running. Flipping it off, he could hear the bullets from Centurions hitting Liam's side of truck as he pulled out his sniper rifle as he opened his side; "Sir, maybe we can get some kills before your ex-wife shows up."

Looking up as he heard the familiar voice. Seeing the ships land he knew she was going to completely disregard him as the one in command. Watching Black walk toward them he did have to admit she was still beautiful. Though he was a sucker for a woman that could kick most mens butts. Seeing her shack Toms hand then heard her comment about something she and him had fought about months ago. As she walked away he turned to Tom.
"Say a word and you'll be digging latrines."
The Colonel said before walking off and getting into his humvee. Ordering the convoy to continue moving toward the airfield. Liam sat in his truck a little mad that Rebecca would treat him that way in front of his men. She knew how to push his buttons and he knew she was going to any chance she got. Slipping on his sunglasses as the truck busted through the sandbags. Quickly getting out he turned to Tom.
"I want you, Dominguez and Palmer to find high ground and take out them fraking turrets. Lets show her that her that the Nomads aren't push overs."
Quinto said as a tear gas canister popped near them. Quickly reaching for his respirator and slipping it on. Damn, these things are crafty. Liam thought getting his own sniper rifle and slinging it over his shoulder.

Standing by the truck as the music blared, he took aim at the Centurions on the roof tops as he quickly took them out before hearing shells raining behind him as the tanks targeted the raiders still on the ground. Setting his rifle down, he slipped on his gas mask as he sprinted over to Liam with his M-4; "The truck still works though it might need some body work," laughing as he leaned over the small sand bag hill before opening fire on few skin jobs that were attempting to make a run for it before ducking back down; ejecting magazines only to replace them, "That hanger that is off your right shoulder, I'll cover you!"
Leaning back over, he took down a few more Centurions as he slowly got up before making a run over to the building as he kicked down the door, reaching into his small pack to pull out flash bang and EMP grenades. Switching off his tactical pad to protect it from the EMP bursts, he began tossing grenades into a room before opening fire as he took out skin jobs and Centurions alike before having the Marines search the rooms for any intelligence. Reaching the 'War Room' he took down a pair of Cavil's with a few Centurions before tapping his radio, "Looks like they were tracking us too," connecting his tactical pad as he began downloading all the intelligence while he stuffed hard drives into his pack as well as papers or anything else that appeared to be important.
