The intercom rang inside the CIC "This is the CAG, Frost, and I would like to be brought up to speed as to who and what was just launched from this hangar deck? I was unaware of any planned launches!!!" She placed her right hand on her hip and held the receiver with her left hand waiting for an answer.

I was unaware of any planned launches!!!" She placed her right hand on her hip and held the receiver with her left hand waiting for an answer. Checking over the list, Bernard knew the Captain had to leave early but was unaware of what was happening considering they had been running through tests; "There are no scheduled launches and a few SFs said they were pulling out their drop pod for modifications," closing the channel as the Titan moved into orbit to begin a direct interface with the orbital defense grid.

Approaching the Colonel, Tom had been scanning Colonial encrypted channels to find a message from a group of distant Cyphus Frigates. Most of the time these ships are either running escort missions or defense for the Colonies but these were out far. The mission they were on was considered a Black Mission (off the books) and they were calling out to the Titan: This is the Frigate Hannibal contacting the Battlestar Titan. Thrax wants Titan here encase mission enters Case Orange. Coordinates embedded in this message.
Printing the repeating message and sent a copy to the Admiral before he approached the table where Bernard stood. Setting down a print out, Tom spoke softly as he thought over the alternatives; "Perfect mission for the Mark X since we could get closer and be an option if things get to Case Orange."

Frost hurried to the CIC only to be stopped at the door. She held up her ID Badge so the Marine on duty could confirm that she was indeed the CAG. "Frost, reporting to the CIC per the Admiral's direct orders" she put the ID Badge back in her pocket and tossed her hair annoyed with the Marine Guard who was slowing her down in reporting as directed. INSIDE THE CIC
Finally getting cleared JJ watched the doors slide open for her to enter. She saw Colonel Hale and quickly walked over and offered him a Salute of Respect "CAG, Frost, reporting to the CIC as ordered by the Admiral, Sir" she stood at attention for now.

She saw Colonel Hale and quickly walked over and offered him a Salute of Respect "CAG, Frost, reporting to the CIC as ordered by the Admiral, Sir" she stood at attention for now. Arriving before Frost, the doors opened for him as he pulled off his tactical pad to slot into the table. It was clear that Jack chose to go do something both arrogant and stupid with the four new Cygnus Frigates but he wasn't going to follow in the same foot steps. Buttoning up his jacket, the computer booted up the stellar maps of the area and knew jumping straight in meant exposure of their newest asset but there was a different route. Turning to Frost as she entered, he had an idea and didn't mean direct influence of the ship but use of their new assets; "Unpack the new Mark Xs for got an op for your wing. Titan will remain one jump away from the target but you will jump on with a signal buoy and setup a perimeter. Hannibal says the station jumped away but to return General Thrax they will have to return. I'd like a complete reconnaissance package done on the station as well as anything on stars it could have docked away."

"Yes Sir" she looked at him "I'm just not sure how to do recon on a station that is no longer there, though?" maybe he had an idea on how to recon an object that was no longer where he was sending her. This Admiral really was thinking outside the box, but she did need a box to make it work.

Clearing his throat, he loaded data on the shipyards last known position from the Frigates data as he placed his hands behind his back; "Cylons are exact which means when that station appears we will have the Frigate Hannibal take their time on docking so your pilots can recon the exterior. The stealth on the Mark X is top mark so its extremely unlikely that the Cylons will detect the Vipers," taking a breath, "if they do, we pick up Jack and Titan will jump in which at that point everyone heads back and we'll nuke the station."

"I will see to it, Sir" She offered him a salute, her mission now clear to her and she left the CIC headed for the Hangar Deck to brief her pilots.

Watching the CAG leave, Michael turned to Tom and the FTL officer as he dispatched Gabe and a few SFs to aid the CAG; "Bring the augmented drive online and prepare for jump," turning to Bernard as the table changed to a model of the Titan, "bring in the flight pods and let's hope the Cylons are smart," smirking as the lights shifted to red.
Feeling the augmented drive kick in, the ship jumped into position as he ran his hand through his beard but pondered if this was a trap. Why would Jack even attempt an negotiation on this scale? He had top delegates on the ship since the Council hadn't been off the ship yet considering they were still on board. Even more, Jack's wife was on this ship and he still hated her for what she put him through.

Waiting like the rest of them, the young ensign noticed a flash message from Terra concerning the General as he brought it up. It has appeared that the General landed in Corinth in a jump pod which meant staying now flipped the chance of attack on them.
"Sir, General Thrax is on Terra."
It wasn't too long till the Admiral handed down and order:
"Recall all fighters and have the Hannibal meet us at Terra."
Sending the recall order, the young ensign knew the plan but also the Cylons countered but now staying put them in danger.

They Cylons called his play and circumvented his Operation but he should've let it roll off but didn't...punching the table for he wasn't used to failure. The one punch into the tungsten panel sent back a message through his nerves that the plate did not yield but his bones had. His knuckles yielded and now Aura was holding back the pain receptors while he kept his balled up hand planted. They failed to protect Terra. They failed to protect Kobol. He has failed to protect his own wife. Everything was compounding onto him and he needed to see a win.
Turning to Bernard, he lifted his now heavily bruised hand but never said a word for the two men knew what he has to do. Stepping out of the CIC, he took a deep breath for the pain was overwhelming but didn't keep him from punching the wall once more before starting his walk down to Medical.

Captain Frost appeared on Dradis. As she approached the Titan she keyed her Mic "Frost, requesting clearance to land".

Captain Frost appeared on Dradis. As she approached the Titan she keyed her Mic "Frost, requesting clearance to land". "Cleared to land," keying the comm while Tom and the other officers prepared for the jump home. Using the comms array that the pilots had established, they used it as an echo location to monitor the Vipers and Frigates retreat.
