Coming around to the doorway, he nodded to Michael as he stood at the doorway as the Marines came on through; "Well consider this, it was built to 3 and cargo for long distance missions but it only has a single crate in there," pausing as he opened the canopy, "rebuilt from a raider that recon Terra almost half a decade ago and still acts like a raider." Turning to Michael as Thomas sent a warning to them that they had locked onto the Basestar, "Galactica has a lock on us and ordering us to get off the ship right away," starting his way over to the cockpit as he dropped the 3rd seat and adjusted the controls for additional weight.

Feeling Thomas message coming through as he smirked, "My brother is one who I don't like to speak about too much, he betrayed me 7 years ago and I spent almost a year in the hospital paying for it. He's a good fighter but he's also a thief, he lost his hand during the Special Forces days and then stole his current robotic hand from an experimental lab along with his armor suit," pausing as he stop pacing, "he's paying for his mistakes," stepping back over to her as he took her hands. Thinking, he knew he couldn't tell her of the new war between Terrans and Taurons at least those signed on with the Ha La Tha but he could make a single promise that he would return in one piece but he wasn't going to mention that. Whispering as he thought over it, "I was thinking on upgrading what we have here. We spent some time with each other and I love to have you in my life, not just time to time but all the time," pausing as his mind raced, "once we get back to Terra, me and Jack will be gone on and off, I can't say anything more I'm under orders," kissing her cheek as he wondered what was racing through her mind considering for the first time in a long time he was worried that this new war would bring back some old ghost to haunt him. Sam thought back to her own little brother, taken away by the cylons during the attacks. Taken too soon ... they'd been so close, and it tore at her heart to even think about it. She didn't want to think about it, especially in the state of mind she was in. Instead, she looked up at Michael with a curious look on her face. "You'll have to be more specific, Lieutenant. I'm still a little delirious." She grinned slightly, and squeezed his hand. That smile seemed to slip away, wondering what he wasn't telling her. "What is it that you want exactly, since you're saying you'll be gone..."Before she could say more, Sam turned her head to see Jack coming back through the corridor. She sighed, remembering that she'd have to regroup with Greer to go over the data he'd previously collected. Seeing that they were getting ready to launch once more, she let go of Michael's hand and said, "I guess we'll have to talk about it later then."

Michael wanted to say why he'll be gone but then again he would have to do it where no one can hear him, he wanted to tell her that he'll be on Terra not fighting Cylons or anything they consider as an enemy but fighting the Ha La Tha, fighting Taurons and Terrans that joined the organization. Even telling her that while she was being tortured that Alex's bounty on their heads has actually reignited the hatred the Ha La Tha had and now it was time to put them out of their misery. The only times he would be on the Atlantia is well to resupply or consult Daniel and even then he won't be the same person he is now, he'll be as he was during his Special Forces days. Stopping Sam as he took her hand before pulling her over to him, "Captain, once we're on the Galactica I would like to talk to you in private but what I say doesn't leave between me and you," letting go as he finished before walking over to the raider.
Checking over it, he knew this raider could get them home but after that it's FTL drive will be burned out it wouldn't be able to make faster than light travel leaving it to fly like most fighters. Climbing into the cockpit, he started up the systems as the noses' red light flipped on as he waited for them to jump in.

Helping Rebecca inside the raider, Jack strapped down as he started calculations to figure out how to configure the FTL to jump a Battlestar but much like Michael he knew this was a vacation. With news that the bounty for all those incorporated with Terran Intelligence having a bounty of 12 billion credits with reports of 6 operatives already dead. Racing through his prelaunch checklist as he set down his rifle in the console, starting up the engines as he kept them retracted to keep them supercooled.

Trying to catch her breath, Boomer edged further back into the shadows, he had almost seen her, she had almost been caught. Frantically trying to think about how she was going to sneak aboard the Galactica she tried desperately not to make any noise, she would be shot on sight here and that would be it, there had to be a reason she was here, so confusing trying to piece everything back together where nothing made sense. She made her way inside an air vent and headed towards the engineering deck, there had to be a spare raptor she could take, or one she could hide in. Memories of the Chief came flooding back. She whispered to herself, I love you Chief.

Racing through his prelaunch checklist as he set down his rifle in the console, starting up the engines as he kept them retracted to keep them supercooled. Finally helping the last of Greer's men into the raider followed by Greer as he finally closed down the canopy, flipping the ship around as he gave the green light to the Galactica to begin firing as he pushed the ship to get out of the hanger bay and into open space. Changing course for the Galactica, he slimmed down the profile of the fighter as the raider just barely skid into the pod before lowering down the landing gear. Dropping down onto the magnetic lift as it began to lower down, tapping his radio as he began opening the FTL ports followed by the canopy as he looked out onto the hanger deck; "Daniel, get down here and get us connected to the ship's FTL."

Running down to the hanger deck, he already had most of it setup for the jump and now with the equations he had been working on then the raider can actually jump them. Connecting the cables, he pulled out his tactical pad as he started setting up new red lines for the Cylon FTL; "Ready to jump in 3...2...1...jumping!"
Galactica's guns tore through the Basestar as it exploded into a massive fireball while a white line traveled along the length of the Battlestar before jumping them to Terra as the line raced back to the aft before finally jumping.

Having successfully secreted herself away in one of the last birds to depart, Boomer wondered to herself how things had got to be this way, reduced to hiding from the humans incase they discovered her but unable to leave them. So much confusion, and no way to sort the shambles of her memories out. While she waited to see whaere she would end up next she clung desperately to the one memory that was still intact.
"I miss you Chief"

Zoe jumps into the Coordinates given to her from CIC, but nothing in sight but the stars and far off planets.
She sits patiently and waits for the raptor to appear, wondering if they will make it through the reverse pull of the black hole. Turning on the emergency channel, she can hear static... faint but enough to know that they are coming through.
If you can hear me, you're help is here and waiting. -Over.

The broken up raptor enters back into their time and begins to crumble around them.
Copy that, be prepared to take us now... we are breaking up.
Quickly Breena begins by opening the hatch door as the other raptor gets right next to them. Ashley you go first. Just don't panic and stay focused on that other raptor and you will smoothly enter. She watches her friend safely land inside the rescue raptor then jumps in herself. Slamming the door, Breena looks at the woman flying... I want you to blow up what's left of that raptor. I want no one getting the information from that ship understand? That's an order.

Yes ma'am. Zoe prepares for the jump back to the Altantia, resetting the coordinates and arming the weapons. Just as they jump the rambles of the old raptor are blown to bits, leaving nothing but debris in the deep space.

A Squadron of Vipers begins to deploy signal buoys at preset coordinates in hopes of catching the Cylons as they should jump back into the area returning General Jack Thrax.
JJ sets her buoy and watches as the other Pilots lay their buoys out in the pattern set by the Admiral. Now it was up to Grif to put the polishing on the project. She hung back out of sight to get a better view. She slid her Viper into a blind area behind a meteor passing through the area and waited. Giving her a clear view but yet hidden from sight. These Special Forces might be well trained but she was not going to turn a blind eye to them. Not just yet.

Jumping into the area, he dropped the pod as the buoy deployed as the Viper returned to its stealth profile. Switching on the red interior, he watched the Vipers setup as he noticed Frost was nowhere in sight. Switching the angle of attack to the nose pointing downward, Gabe noticed the SFs following his lead but his arena was ground combat. His eye sight was partially restored but he had his visor colored orange to ease the burden. Waiting, he had engine power on standby with the guns tucked into the body...

Arriving at the spot that was preset on my Viper, I press the button which sends the buoy out into space where it will wait for the cylons return. With my mission complete, I return to the Titan.
