Clayton slapped a hand to his bald pate and pulled it back. He realized that most of the government would have to die before the judge became an authority. He sighed.
"Yeah, we just need a Raptor or something similar." He knew, from his days as an Sergeant on Galactica, how to go places quickly in a Raptor. He'd commanded a Raptor wing before, and had a squad of ace pilots that could make a Raptor do things he hadn't seen since.
Returning the smile, he straightened his back even further. Nodding, he looked in the general direction of one of the two places mentioned
"I'm still an outsider here , so you'll probably have a lot more luck at commandeering a ship."

As Francis Drake, terran government employee (npc)
Hearing what the Colonial officer said, Francis stepped closer to the judge.
"Excuse me, Sir, but perhaps I can be of some assistance. There's a terran shuttle craft just a few blocks away. It's a bit smaller than a raptor but it's been fitted with that jump thingy your ships have. And from the sound of things, those cylons have moved onto a new target."

Judith looked at the young man, then turned to Clayton.
"Well, what do you say Colonel? Wanna try your hands at flying a terran craft? We can get to wherever the government is set up."
Judith was anxious to get herself away from any remote chance of being in charge. The sooner they got to wherever there were government officials, the better her chances were. Turning to the courier, she smiled.
"A few blocks huh? Well, let's get moving. C'mon Colonel, we still have a chance to get out of here before anymore cylons show up."

Smiling a wide grin, Phineas waited for the comm link to come to life. Seconds later, he could hear the sound of dead airwaves, then a sfot voice informing him he was ready to go. Sitting at his desk, which was covered with dust and debris, Phineas began speaking.
"My fellow citizens, this is President Doral. I am happy to announce that I have returned to my office and am currently preparing to oversee the defense of the planet and the impending assault on the invading Cylons. I know many of you have wondered where I have been and I apologize for leaving. My departure from the government center here in the capital was necessary, so as to lure the cylons into believing we were on the run. That is not and was not the case. We are very much here, Terran and Colonial, soldier and citizen. Together, we will wipe the cylons clear from this planet, our home. Tragedy has once again been brought to not only us but to our Terran brothers and sisters. Most of our civilian ships and quite a few of our military ships have taken the necessary precautions and have jumped away. Soon, they will return to us. I ask that anyone who hears this message and is near the city of Sparta to go there now and assist in the recovery efforts. Many have died there and many more are wounded. For now, please know that our gallant military is not only fighting the cylons but beating them back. We will win this fight and we will win it as one. May the gods shine their blessings down upon us, So Say We All!"

Judith heard the voice of the President coming from the wireless in a nearby military vehicle. Stopping, she motioned for the Colonial and government worker to stop as well. Once he had finished speaking, Judith looked at the Colonial officer.
"Well Colonel, looks as if the government has decided to re-appear. This changes things for me. Perhaps I should go to where the President is and assist the government, since it appears the capital is not being abandoned, what with another attack on a major city."

Clayton favored the Judge with a nod.
"We are under martial law, which kind of puts a crimp in your style. I've seen military rule, lived under it, and a lot is going to happen that isn't pretty. Besides, you may be the highest judicial person left. You may have a bigger role to play in the world than ever before. It isn't like you'll have much say in what goes down here anyway, I'm afraid, so that might be as good a plan as any. I intend to share my knowledge of what may be going on." It's more frightening by far than these attacks, even what happened to the Colonies.

"All right to all of the fleet this is your Fleet Admiral Yogi speaking. As you all my have heard over the wire about me is wrong. I don't wish to hold power over you all, I just simple wish to fight for you all as your Admiral like I been fighting along with your family and friends. I believe Fleet Admiral Deanna Middleton to be dead. I last saw her at the Cylon Outpost Gamma near there home world that was April of last yahren. She was planing to nuke the outpost's and then them, once I got my orders about Alex I then few away. She was in the middle of it when I flew there. There were raiders, Basestar every where. I barely made it on-board then back out. I been trying to get a signal or whereabouts, now this comes over the wire without a peep over a yahren."
*Shaking my head*
"I say this is no quintessence don't you think, think about everything that has be happening. Cylon's knows what were up to, Ace turn's on us but still holds his rank and power in the fleet right after I sent Middleton files on him and notice of stripping his rank. Then I asked for all Colonial codes to be changed but they were not and Alex hacked in and block our every attempt. The Colonial government as be disbanded. All this adds up people, what does this all mean you say? I say it means that Deanna Middleton is herself a one of these Cylon's. That also is in line with 3 first we have Mister President Benjamen Little who is a known Cylon and next we have Mister Phineas Doral who is the WHAT? that's right his the vice President. And now it seems that Ms. Deanna Middleton is a Cylon, now I hear Benjamen Little and Phineas Doral is make there move to rebuild our government but in there image. There has been a plot against us from the beginning but now we all the recent event falling in to place and to owe it to my people I will continue to fight the good fight as your New Fleet Admiral. So Say Well All!!!"

At the new Presidential office on the grounds of Corinth University, near the airport
Timeline: Three weeks after having arrived in the Capital
It had been almost three weeks now since J and Captain Markus, along with several of the new Quorum members and a security detail from the CMS Marauder, had arrived in the capital city. Having set up temporary space in the Mayors office and finally getting the word out to the citizens of Terra and the Fleet that the government was being re-formed, J was ready to finalize the announcement with a personal message to everyone.
The city was still in disarray and ruin from the massive Cylon attack a year ago so getting the media outlets to get their equipment to the capital and setting up the satellite feeds had taken much longer than expected and it was frustrating J to no end. Already the quarreling between the various factions had begun-the Federalists set against the Spartists, the Isolationists in the Southern Hemisphere against the Monarchists in the north, just south of the Capital, the Gondawans against the Expantionists, and the Quorum crying about being left out. J secretly wished he had just gone to the Independence Brig and not immersed himself in this debacle and experiment in futility.
What the frak was Ben Little thinking when he started to re-form the government? Doral was probably onto something when he disbanded the Colonial government, as illegal as it may have been. Looking at his new Chief Aide, Neko Goor (the former woman having decided to pursue a different path in the new government by accepting the post of Agriculture Secretary), J smiled and nodded that he was ready. Looking at the array of cameras and recording devices, J cleared his throat and read from the teleprompter in front of him.
"Ladies and gentlement of Terra, the Colonial and Terran Fleets, citizens of the Terran system, and mostly, our Cylon allies and fellow Colonial citizens: For those of you who do not yet know who I am, allow me to introduce myself. I am J Castorious, former Acting President of the 12 Colonies of Kobol and Colonial Marine. Ever since President Phineas Doral announced some almost two years ago the disbandment of the Colonial government, our combined societies have been in an upheval and in total disarray. Fortunately, the late President Benjamin Little saw the error of that decision and was in the process of re-forming the government when he was killed by Cylon forces, done so while saving several thousand souls doing what he knew best, being a warrior. We shall never forget his actions those months ago and for that reason, I am formally announcing the reforming of the Colonial government, a government that will be for all citizens of Terra and her fleets and stations and settlements. This action is effective immediately. In the coming days, I will be announcing the members of my cabinet and will be visiting the various ships and settlements, as well as condcuting a goodwill tour of Terra herself. I thank you all and may the Gods continue to look down upon us with favor."

Suddenly a bomb hit the building. The building begins to shake and move. Windows are blown out. Electricity flickers and goes out. Dust fills the air and human screams can be heard. The outside of the building begins to slide off and pummel the citizens on the ground as the floors rise and buckle inside. Another bomb hits. And another! {{Hidden in space and invisible to Dradis detection}}The Star began to send bombs toward the Government Buildings. Raiders flying in the typical pattern of threes firing rapid fire bullet rounds into the running crowds in the streets, mowing them down. The ground begins to run red with blood shed. The attacks have just begun.

All across the city, sirens began wailing, the type of sirens alerting to an attack. As citizens and military personnel looked up and all around for what could possibly be a reason for the sirens going off, a sudden flash of light high above the city burst, then within seconds, everything-buildings, trees, people-were hit with a massive shock wave.
For a good five minutes, there was nothing but the deafening sound of buildings collapsing and what could only be described as a massive wind storm, like the sound of a hundred thousand aircraft flying overhead. Then, silence. The scene was nothing short of total destruction of the city, although a few dozen sturdier buildings still stood. What had once been a great city was now mostly piles of rubble. The dead would number on the hundreds of thousands, the injured and wounded many times that number.

The atmospheric detonation of a non-nuclear weapon was used against the City of Corinth and which was fired from the surface, thus being detected by DRADIS seconds before it detonated. The weapon used was a NON-NUCLEAR weapon, a vacuum type bomb that destroyed most buildings and structures in the city (homes, residences, smaller constructed buildings) but left standing more sturdier structures (government compound, university buildings, power plant, heavier constructed buildings). This weapon was a HIGH PRESSURE weapon that when detonated as an air burst, brought down upon the city immense pressure that essentially flattened buildings and bridges and structures, also killing pretty much any living person and animal that was outside at the time of detonation.
