Getting confirmation that the Battlestars had begun to land, he knew in a few hours, they'll have a base worthy of SF status; "I agree, Colonel," tapping his radio as he sent target information to the Battlestar Midway, "all forces, pull back unless you want to be residents of this airbase and kill all surviving Cylons," he knew Cotter captured some Simons but anything they say wouldn't be anymore useful then what the information from the computers are telling them. Starting outside, he spotted Tom going for their truck as he followed with Jack behind him; "Liam, we've crippled several key locations and Jack knows this as well, we'll get rid of the Colonials but until further notice till this war ends this is worthy of our focus." Heading over to the truck, he climbed in as he started up the engine, spotting the General sitting behind him as he waited for Jack and Liam; "Reports are coming in, all vital targets are down...we own the planet," flipping on the radio as he spotted men evacuating with gunships and even captured heavy raiders. He knew even though they had the planet the hard work was going to start in just keeping it and even with 2 defense satellites that was going to be some hard work, hearing the homing signal from the Battlestar ahead as it aimed all of its guns on this location; ready to create on hell of a crater.

Jogging over to the truck, he slid into the back seat as he set his rifle aside; Jack had a bad feeling but it was just that a feeling. Taking the heart of the Cylon Empire was a bit too easy almost as if they didn't care if they had lost it so maybe just maybe there was a plan to retake it, the only thing he hoped for is that they could was to stop it just in time. Pulling out his tactical pad, he brought up a note he had kept aside ever since he rejoined the Division, editing it once more before sending it to Terra for Michael to read. Waiting for Liam, he received confirmation that the Nomads made it back to base and were unpacking the Terran Centurions as well as prepared a message for Cotter and Yogi since he knew Terra would need both the full Marine Corps and the fleet for protection.

Following the other three men back to the truck, setting his sniper rifle in before stepping up into the truck. Looking out the window he saw Rebecca looking annoyed that his team picked up the victory. Smiling to himself, Liam knew that he was going to have to face Black again but he wasn't looking forward to it. Nodding for Tom to go he looked on his tactical pad as they drive off.
"Im just spitballing here. Did this seem a little too easy?"
Quinto said out loud, but it was meant to be a inner thought. Hoping that he wasn't going to get a earful from the general. Liam looked around at his fellow officers and wondered if they thought the same thing. He saw the look on Jacks face and it said he was thinking the same thing.

Pulling out, he ran over the sand bag wall again as he shifted into second before driving off back to the base, turning to Liam as the homing sound ended; "Might want to take a look back, don't get to see it this often," looking into his rear view mirror as the shells smashed into the base, causing multiple shockwaves as it tore it apart in just a minute flat. Catching up with the tanks who were hauling ass back to the base, leaving them in dust; "I do agree with both Liam and Jack, I was expecting more Centurions then again the Battlestars did nuke all the major cities and the orbital guns did everything else."
Keeping up with the tanks, he was surprised that they would haul ass at nearly 70 mph, rushing through a pass that apparently the gunships had found as he sent a message to Cotter and thus Yogi:

Ramsey hadn't been in the same car with all of them in a long time, since the war, sitting in the back listening and he too figured there would be more fighting since they were in the heart of the Empire shit if it was Terra; troops from all over would flock to save her. Then again maybe they crushed the main force thus they could possibly see resistance fighting or even the Basestars could return to take it back but it would be stupid to take on an entrenched position; shit he learned that in War College yet it doesn't stop the opposition from attempting it. Pulling out his tactical pad, things up in space seemed a bit quiet since the Basestar had demolished some of the listening outposts on the moon which meant the Cylons weren't getting updates on their positions any longer. Spotting the base, the construction teams appeared to have the massive walls up which were made from the drop pods as well as the motor pool formed with the 500 lb propane tanks which would provide power to the base and raptors were moving the tylium tanks into position so they could refuel without heading over to the Battlestars.
The underground portions had already been constructed and placed while they were away, only him and Jack got the alternate routes in and out of the base since it was only encase of emergencies as he felt the truck come to a stop; "I'll talk with Cotter and thank him for coming but I want to meet all of you in the morning so enjoy your evening, boys," stepping out of the truck as he handed his gear over to a specialist.

Parking the truck, he knew the General had the same thoughts as the rest of them but he wasn't going to say it out in the open as for him, he was hoping to get sometime to relax. Opening the door, he kept his rifle in the truck, "If its alright, I figured I'd go relax for a few hours I'll take a radio if you need me," closing the door as he took off his vest and other gear but keeping his holsters on. Climbing over the wall, he jogged out onto the sand for a bit till he reached a dune to overlook the Battlestars. He had been on the Atlantia a few times but from what he heard, these Battlestars were the pride of the SF and they looked even better than those crappy Colonial ships, planting the radio into the sand as he spotted Centurions walking past him; there was 8 million Centurions that were going to be stationed here to cover for the Marine numbers leaving. Terran Raiders were preparing to leave to head to the Colonies to assist with operations there, spotting them jumping in vast numbers with the Vipers filling in the sky and the warthogs landing on an air strip below.
The Terrans had done something no one else could ever match but he too had bad feeling, he knew even with this victory that the fight wasn't over with but who were they going to fight at this point?

Watching both the General and Tom leave, he opened the door before placing his hand on Liam's shoulder, "Be careful, try and get some sleep," he wasn't going to tell Liam how he felt till he had solid proof then again that could be too late. Stepping out of the truck, he noticed that his fellow Nomads has setup a tent for him nearby next to one of the Siege Tanks which was the primary defensive tank for the base, made since to be close to the big gun if anything happened. Setting his gear in the back of a nearby humvee which had the back opened, keep his rifle nearby as he turned to his fellow Nomads, setting up recon teams to begin setting up small camps along the mountains to watch out for any resistance they could expect in the future.

Getting back to base before the rest of them, he watched Rebecca storm off most likely heading into the base while he wondered how in the hell they put this altogether in hours unless they did this regularly. Stepping into a nearby hatch, he dropped down into the a corridor which had computer screens and the occasional keyboard which meant the first thing they put in the ground was their massive computer which would be responsible for their new networks and all the new security features. Walking down the sandy corridor, he took a turn as he stepped into the mess hall which was already serving up food, what the hell right he might as well get some food and relax for a few hours or at least till they could build a bar.

Rushing out of the humvee, she couldn't believe that Liam and Tom stole her gods damn victory, she despised the Nomads since they were basically doing the job the SF's had been doing for awhile now. Dropping down into the corridor, she followed her tactical pad till she reached the barracks as she opened the hatch to be surprised that it was personalized which meant it was built only for one person probably cause of her officer status. Setting her gear aside, she fell down onto her bed to get some rest since she was battle fatigued from not just the bit of fighting but she was also actively fighting in the Colonies which had taken her its toll on her body.

*Taken weapons, files and folder, anything useful back to the tanks. Hearing chatter reaching my right hand up to my ear-bud, reaching my left hand up signaling the men to kept taken stuff back. Listening to the message from Tom, lowering my hand to the PITT on my chest* "Just about loaded up here, will head out soon." *Following my team down the halls back to the tank door looking at the huge hull* "Ok you can add this to your victory as a win and we have a pretty good hull on-top of that. Tom is re-calling us back, hey stop now this is his operation so I am following order's until other-wise. Now pack up and head out, you men and ladies did real good I am proud of you all." *Gearing up and lock these down tight, running around to all the tank's. Shaking hands and passing out cigar's jogging back to the Mega tank M-108 Heading up the ramp inside over to my buggy hitting a button to rise the ramp locking it tight. Walking around to my troops as the up-pack strip down to relax, heading over to the ladder climbing up through floor's to the top. Telling the driver to head back to the beach, hoping over into my bunk as we head out*

Sitting in the truck still after the other tree officers had left. Looking up seeing the Colonial Colonel Shepard walk across the compound then he saw Rebecca storm behind him. She had quite a temper and he felt it first hand a couple times. Though deep down he still was in love with her. Reaching into his shirt he pulled his tags out. Looking at the chain was his wedding ring. He kept it with him even though theyve been divorced for months. Liam wanted to go talk to her and smooth, well smooth was used loosely, things out.
Stepping out of the truck he took his tactical vest off and handed it to a private. Liam made his way over to the tent that Jack had gone into. He though he would talk strategy with him. Tucking through the opening he walked over to where Thrax was. Getting handed a tactical pad with the positions of the other teams. Looking over to Jack he spoke.
"Is Tom ok with me being so new to the team and taking his position?

Spotting Cotter's giant tank, he knew the man was showing off then again so was he with his massive turrets and his own Siege tanks as he waited for Cotter down below; he knew the man might take it hard on his request then again Terra would need the Marine Corps if the Cylons ever appeared. Watching the ramp lower down, he saw the Marines offloading while he waited wondering if Cotter was ever coming down while raptors landed in the background to offload more SF's and prepare to load up Marines.

He had big plans and maybe one day if we're not caught up in war than those plans would go into motion," patting the man on his arm, "I half expected Tom to be promoted over both of us but let the man chill. As for you being new, I'm new to this too considering a year ago I was a fugitive outsmarting both him and Michael and avoiding capture from the best but I'm bringing that to this position."

*Getting up from my bunk walking over to the 6 story pole sliding down, heading down the ramp to meet Ramsey.* *Walking on up from the beachfront meeting the Ramsey and the General, reaching out to shakes there hands* "Good job gentlemen for making one of many attempts on the Cylon home-world, I just hope this time you have crippled them. So gentlemen what the plan here take over the Cylon home-world and make new good Cylon or destroy them all. Then in many yahren's they bounce back stronger. I been through this before, maybe this time will truly be the end I hope."
