It did occur to her he might actually want water "Of course you are welcome to a glass of cold water if you prefer" she nodded for Sully to bring in some water for him as well. I nod at her and go to the cooler and grab a cold bottle of water. Unscrewing the cap and set it down on the table near him. "Here ya go" I smile as I back up and stand close to the desk again. About that time in walks Kona. "Damn, she's good. Putting him at ease right offa the bat. Guess that's why she's the one in charge" I think to myself as I hold my hands together in front of me and stand with my legs apart a little bit.

The heavy Raider landed softly touching down at the shipyards. Kona stepped out and walked to the office. She noticed the Ares in dock and that the repairs were nearly completed. She waved at the crew as they continued on with their jobs. Opening the door to the office she took note of the Guards outside the door. Two Centurions stood at attention with their red eyes roving. She made sure that the Legion Centurions were fully aware and able to make their own decisions. No more were they mere machines to do the Legion bidding as in days of old. No, these were the most advanced Centurions ever. Their allegiance has never waivered from the Legion and she held them in high esteem. "Hello! Thank you for keeping watch over things here. Your Service is appreciated". She smiled then opened the door and walked inside. INSIDE THE SHIPYARDS OFFICE MEETING WITH THRAX Kona smiled as she walked over to the General and held out her hand. "Hello, I am Kona. I believe your name is (she searched her memory bank here) Jack? General Jack Thrax? I hope Lexi has been kind to you? You requested that you and I meet, so I am here" (she pulled out the chair near his and sat back. Crossing her legs she laid her right arm over the left and leaned on the arm of the chair in a very non aggressive fashion "What is it that we need to discuss, Jack?" she smiled. Taking a sip of water, his tactic was working but he needed to be the politician now as he took a deep breath; "We both got into his war under falsified information whether its you reacting to us or us reacting to false information but all honesty this war would devastate us both. Sure you have stealth technology but given some time we can find a work around. We have Gondawan weapons which have pushed you back before. You have your stars we have newer Battlestar Dreadnoughts...we're not like the Colonials you all have fought with before," taking a sip of the whiskey as he got up with his hands behind his back, "we were attacked. Terra took a 1,000 megaton warhead to our Frondal islands but it wasn't a terrorist attack but through analysis of the post explosion material to be non-Terran but sure you know that already. A spy satellite confirmed one Basestar and a fighter was sent down which interestingly enough Battlestar Independence can confirm both." Taking a second, he kept his back to them as he looked at the bulkhead while continuing once more; "Your early actions may have felt warranted but our actions were in response to this explosion and now we have hundreds dead. Someone has to be left accountable," turning to Lexi, "destroying our power grid may have felt like the right move but Kobol is unforgiving and has likely taken more. Your actions may have killed Cylon citizens on Kobol which even I find unacceptable," yes even as a General he valued life but seeing the carelessness for their own kind reminded him if his days before they met the Colonials.

INSIDE THE SHIPYARDS OFFICE MEETING WITH THRAX More human rhetoric. "The Legion has never attacked you without provocation and in that, we were defending ourselves against your kind apparently placing a bounty on my head. I have no interest in retaliation tactics. Yes, we have advanced technology. You have some nice weapons of your own. Now, that, we can both agree upon. Where we differ is this original source of nuclear device that your people have somehow determined that was of Cylon origin. It was not Legion made. It was not Legion planted and I am not taking any responsibility whatsoever for any damage inflicted by it." she leaned back in her chair then reached over for the whiskey glass and took a sip from the one still sitting on the desktop. "The Legion is pulling out and away from this area of space and you will not have anything to fear from us. I have no desire for a war and I certainly have no desire to return to 'face charges' as you think I am going to do. No, No, I've been around your kind before ........ no thank you. I suggest perhaps you start tracking down all the Cavil models in your area as that demented One is most likely the source of your problems." There! She had finally told him where to look. Now he can leave the Legion alone. She finished off the glass of whisky and placed the emtpy glass back on the desk. She decided to lay more chips on the table for Thrax. "There has been trouble with the Cavils. A LOT of trouble. Let me simplify this for you. Cavil, defective model that he is, has left the Legion and struck out on his own. Now he has managed to sway some renegades to follow him. One in particular calls herself CylonOps and she's trying to get her claws into anything and everything to cause trouble. As I stated, these are renegades and I'm sure you have dealt with such runamocks yourself within your own people so you will understand why I say, this is not my problem. No more than a Rioter is something I would hold you accountable for. It is what it is. An entity acting out on it's own. Not answering to anyone nor asking permission for what it does." Kona had absolutely had it with Cavil and CylonOps and their followers. "Perhaps you should search Kobol or Terra or Aerilon to find Cavil and his followers. I have no clue where they reside or what they have in mind for their next act of terrorism." she poured more whiskey in her glass and then more into his. "You should understand that I do not make it a common practice to meet with humans. This meeting is highly unusual but I need to make you understand that I will never surrender myself or Lexi to you or any human to face trial. So if that is your ultimate goal, then we are finished. If you wish to talk further, I am listening. Once this meeting is adjourned you will be returned back to your frigates. The shipyards will not be discoverable to your kind as we are leaving immediately upon sending you home, General."

The shipyards will not be discoverable to your kind as we are leaving immediately upon sending you home, General."He knew her file well and knew going on a man hunt for a single model that may or may not be responsible would be difficult. The issue is if he went to the President and the Council with this information they would laugh at him maybe even demand his resignation. Speaking softly, Jack crossed his arms for he knew her couldn't drag it on; "I believe you have answered my questions though these renegades didn't show up to Terra and Kobol in a stealth star and killed hundreds over a bounty we both know was unattainable. The fact remains, there is going to be disagreement between the two of us on how to deal with certain things but if we had another incident like that prior to this meeting where Lexi thinks she is justified in attacking Terra or Kobol for how our internal government decides...we will hunt her down as an outside entity."
Taking a seat as he finished off his water, knowing that it was likely the Titan was ready; "You take your precautions for the Frigates took theirs."

Taking a seat as he finished off his water, knowing that it was likely the Titan was ready; "You take your precautions for the Frigates took theirs." Kona stood up and nodded at Fleshcrusher "You will accompany General Thrax here and place him in the specially prepared ride that is waiting to take him home." she turned to Thrax and held out her hand "It's been my pleasure meeting with you, General. I hope our hospitality has met with your standards?" she smiled "Now, Sir, please go with Fleshcrusher and he will see to it that you make it home" She smiled at Lexi "Well done, Commander" then Kona walked out and disappeared.

Watching Kona leave, Jack already had an idea brewing and knew going on this wild goose chase would be both unacceptable by the President as well as those who perished. The enemy may be the Cavils but across the table was another enemy...Lexi. And now it seems like her companion was delayed maybe topping off on hydraulic fluid but it paid no mind to him. The Centurion admired him, he could tell that especially when the red eye focuses on him or even hesitates for a second. Taking a sip of the drink, he sat back in this chair as he crossed his arms; " So your Centurion seems to have gotten lost? Shouldn't we go look for him," smirking, "already miss him."

"You will accompany General Thrax here and place him in the specially prepared ride that is waiting to take him home." The meeting was over and this human was still alive. He should consider himself lucky. Following Kona's departure, I nodded to Lexi as I moved to the human's side. Taking his arm non too gently I lifted him up and marched him out of the room. I kept his arm at all times. Would not want him getting ideas. We crossed the shipyards until arriving at our emergency pods. One blinked green, good... the human's ride was ready. As he was shoved inside and the hatch closed I stated... "This pod has enough fuel to jump you back to Terra. Calculations are already completed and the controls are locked. We will be keeping your ship and whatever we find in it. Good riddance meatbag!"
The pod launched, taking away this annoying human!

Thank you, Supreme Commander. Your approval is all I require." Lexi smiled as Kona left the meeting. She watched as Fleshcrusher began to haul Thrax out of the office. "Safe travels, General. Til we meet again" Lexi raised up her left eyebrow as she smirked and downed the remainder of her glass. She then nodded at Sully as Fleshcrusher clanked through the door to head for the waiting ride "Please make sure all goes as planned. I have faith in Fleshcrusher, no doubt he can handle any situation, but we ARE talking about this wiley meat bag so I would like you to follow and see him off as well. You and Fleshcrusher work well together." Lexi sat the empty glass on the desk top.

"Eye eye, Commander. As you wish" I follow the meatbag and Shiny out to the waiting emergency pod and stand there with my arms across my chest as Shiny throws him inside and the pod closes up around the General.

Kona watched from her Heavy Raider as the human General was loaded into the pod and the pod Flashed away. Satisfied that she had done all she could to rectify the situation she input the coordinates for her own Star and settled in as she felt the Raider jump away.

With the human gone I return to my duties of repairing the 109. Inputting instructions as the huge metal welding arms move all around and repair the damages inflicted by the human skum. I watch as the Centurions work on the finer parts of the repairs and some of the human looking models start painting the living skin over the repairs.
I lean my leg up on a stool and stand at the viewing window of my office with my arm resting on my leg as I keep a keen eye on things.

Watching from above when I see a problem. I head out to the repair dock and wave my hands to stop the procedures. "No No No! Come on, this section" pointing to a nearby area that seems weak "this needs to be reinforced. THEN you move to the next areas." I run my hand over my hair in exasperation. "The Commander is anxious to get back to the planet and proceed, but she CAN'T til we get this all reinforced! Now get with it". I clap my hands and watch as the instructions are followed to the letter this time.
