Faith of My Fathers
Part Four Boxey's Questions Himself
The raiders came at the fleet full force as always and the warriors launched to meet them. The Cadets of Gold Squadron all prepared to launch.
Cadet Lt. Boxey looked at a picture in his cockpit. It was of his family Commander Adama, His Father, Mother and Aunt Athena. He swallowed hard as he launched he would not let any of them down. Grandfather watch over me. I am afraid I will fail.
In his mind he suddenly felt a strange peace. Have faith Boxey. You can do this. You are well trained and have the skills. You must trust in the Lords to keep you safe. And if you somehow fall know we are here to welcome you home.
The voice was soft and sweet and he could almost hear his mother voice. He would be fine he was a warrior and he could do this. He had a job to do and being afraid would not get it done. It might be his first battle in the cockpit but he knew life could end even on a larger ship. No he was ready and he would do all he could to keep his remaining family safe. I have faith mother, grandfather please make sure I do not mess up.
The ship launched and he was quickly engaging their enemy. As he destroyed the first one he felt peace come over him. He was a warrior and he could do this. He rolled his viper and hit his turbos diving into the incoming raiders with no fear because he knew weather he lived or died this day he would be in the end with his loved ones.
