Chapter 2

Sparky grinned at him. "So Cannon since you are the more experienced of the 2 of us what are our plans for the immediate future." he asked. Makay smiled back. "you see it we are currentaly trying to rescue as many people and ships as we can so when you are onboard the Intrepid we will have to talk about how to best protect the fleet and everyone in it." Captain Pyrite nodded at him. "I will be over in 30 minutes would you mind having someone pull of a complete list of ships and survivors for my most of my systems are out because of that damned virus." Captain Makay looked at Captain Pyrite quizzically "Virus What Virus?" Sparky turned grim. "your fleet was due to have the new software uploaded into your ships but because of your delayed return the cylons were not able to disable your ships like they did to everyone else. I will be over momentarily to give you the full discussion just know this if you have any linked software in your fleet unlink it fast. Thats how the cylons disabled the fleet. They used the software that doctor Baltar designed." Captain Makay nodded grimly "I will await your arrival I will have someone bring you to my office when you arrive I will also have a report on all the ships we have and the current total of refugees that are here." with that he turned the com off and headed off the bridge. But before he exited he turned to his XO Colonel Hunter. "Have someone meet his shuttle when he arrives and bring him to my office and I want a full report on what ships we have and How many Refugees we have total and I want it done as soon as possible understood." When the Raptor from the Battlestar Olympus arrived Captain pyrite disembarked onto the deck and was promptly greeted by a young ensign. "Sir my name is specialist streen "i have been ordered to escort you to the captains chambers." Captain Pyrite nodded. "lead on ensign streen" and then they were off. After a few minutes they arrived at the captains door and ensign streen dismissed himself and was gone. Mike knocked on the door and when he got an affirmative to enter he opened the door. Sitting at his desk Stephen looked through the reports coming in from around the fleet . When Mike entered he smiled and went to give his old classmate a big hug. "Frak Mike when I heard about the loss of Gemon HQ I thought you had died with the fleet." Mike nodded wearily "I almost did old friend if i had not been late returning from patrol. When the attack began we were 6 minutes out and the cylons jumped in they tried to disable our ship but as it turned out a freak accident a few days earlier had destroyed all the software and we were safe. We attempted to engage the cylons but were ordered to flee

when it became clear the the cylons were disabling the fleet in some way. Admiral Tophet

ordered us to head to Caprica and Meet up with the 1st fleet but a cylon patrol found us and got in a hit on our engines before we took out the patrol. We had just finished getting repairs done when your captor found us. When they informed us of the fleet gathering here at Tolon anchorage we agreed to accompany them here." Makay looked at his friend with concern but then continued on with the conversation. "I just got the full report on what ships we have and how many refugees are on the ships as well here is the list." he handed the report over to Mike and watched him read it. Mike looked through it and spoke aloud. "It says that we have"
