Scenes Not To Be Seen, Ever, So Say We All
Stims
Time: This takes place during the year orbiting New Caprica.
Galactica CIC
"Galactica to Pegasus Actual." Helo calls over the ship to ship line. As XO one of his many jobs is to be the communications officer, as the old one is on Pegasus.. and the crew is quite skeletal.
"Pegasus Actual here."
"This is Galactica Actual, Pegasus will have to maintain the full CAP today."
"Pegasus Actual, Why, Galactica Actual?"
"Commander, the Galactica Pilots are not in any shape for flying at the moment, the three currently on CAP, I am assuming are the only ones with out any major stimulants, Is that correct, Captain?"
"Yes, Admiral, that is correct."
"Frakking Stims, Admiral?"
"Yes Commander, Stims. My pilots are currently running around the ship like mad men."
"Damn Kat, can I come over there and kick her ass?"
Helo laughed at the mental image of Lee Adama getting to Kat in anyway.
"Something you would like to share, Captain?"
"No Sir." Helo replied to the grinning Admiral.
"Is that all Galactica Actual?"
"That is all Pegasus Actual." And the lines cut off.
"Helo go find Katraine's Stim stash and hide it."
"Yes Sir," Karl Agathon saluted the Admiral before marching off. Ah the duties of the XO of the flagship of the former Twelve Colonies! No wonder Tigh moved to that blasted planet.
"Hi ya Cap'n!" a random Pilot Lieutenant yelled teeth chattering at Helo as he ran by trembling.
Further in the ship, impromptu boxing matches sprang between pilots with stim induced anger. Overall it was chaos within the Galactica's ranks of pilots.
It seemed when the CAG's Stim habit acted up she'd toss her pilots into the pot of people needing them as well.
