Part 4
The Native Council was not exactly patient. The various earth governments had been put on notice. The various native peoples were done being treated as second classed citizens and now had a real way of making that point heard. The days of protests and carrying signs, doing petitions and begging were over. Yes the Armageddon and her sister ships had fought with the Galactica and the fleet to protect Earth but that was self interest after all the tribes lived here too. However they were done being threatened, abused and used. Commander Ki like Cain and Adama held a seal of Kobal and now had an Equal voice in the Council of the 13. It could actually be argued she was far more important than either of the others as Earth was the place she and her people colonized. It was also made clear that the newly awakened peoples and battle stars were no going to be dictated to. The newly awakened defenses required the cooperation of various peoples and unless and until the various governments owned up to their pasts well things could get dicey. Fortunately for everyone Ki was willing to listen and negotiate. However like the Chiefs had said when they tore up the treaties thing would now be on their terms if they wished to keep gaining technology and help. They would protect Earth but the advances were stopped.
Commander Ki interview to the IBC explained it clearly. "One does not give dangerous toys to immature children. I do understand why Commander Adama and Commander Cain and the Council of the 12 acted as they had. However Earth is mine to protect and as such they will follow my lead. The advanced technology and medical gifts end now until there is justice. We will defend the planet because we live her to but no more "free gifts" the various earth societies have taken too much already.
Jamie Hamilton had smirked at that. She was in total and complete agreement with the Commander even if others like Doctor Mortonson were not. However even the doctor had to admit many wrongs had been done. He was just annoyed at not gaining more technology to explore. However he trusted Adama to work things out.

The fleet was finally ready to go. Adama looked out at he assembled fleet. The Galactica and Armageddon were side by side. The Gunstars from Paradeen were just behind them followed by the Justice and Judgment along with an Agro Ship and the newly minted Base Star. Boomer team had finally finished the majority of the refits. The rest would be done on the move. This ship was going to be their nasty capstone. It was hoped that they could get it in close to the Cylons and give them a nasty shock. Boomer team had retro fitted over a squadron of Cylon fighters to act as bombers. They been fitted to be flown by two person teams and were loaded to the brink with bombs and missiles. There were also two full squadrons of the H- Viper Mach III. Along with one traditional squadron of star hounds for longer patrols and scouting trips, it was going to be a shock to the Cylons because they hoped to use the ship to capture others. One thing they had learned was that retro fitting the Cylon ship was not as hard as they feared it would be. The hardest part ended up being setting up crew quarters and mess halls along with refresher facilities. However it had been done and the ship was now almost comfortable for humans. One thing they had found useful was the advanced scanners and that would give them far greater warning then before. It explained why the Cylons had always found them so quickly in the past. It was rather pleasant to know this technology would now be used against their enemies.

Dillon was stunned speechless. He could not believe what Gloria was telling him. He froze then whooped with joy. He pulled his beloved into a hug and spun her around kissing her soundly.
Gloria had at first feared he was upset or in shock. She been worried he would reject her and their baby. However his reaction once he processed the information made her smile. She had no doubt of his positive feeling as she spun around and was kissed most eagerly. He then suddenly stopped froze.
"Oh baby, I am so sorry are you all right? I was not thinking, I was just so excited. I did not hurt you or the baby did I?"
Gloria began to laugh as she hugged her man. "It's fine Dillon. Everything is fine. We are ok and I doubt our baby even noticed they are too small at this point in time to care. I am just happy you are not upset."
"Well, I am," He shuffled his feet.
She gave him a worried look.
"Your father is going to kill me. I mean we aren't sealed yet."
Gloria laughed at that. "Well if he does he is a hypocrite. Mum was carrying me when they got married."
"Yeah well even so, I think we need to seal right now, Zee around here some place and he can do it. I won't let it be said I did not do the right thing. I mean we planned on sealing soon anyway but this means now."
Gloria raised her brow.
"What, I don't want to get shot and I want this. Please Baby say we can. Please baby we can have a formal wedding later. Besides I think the kid would get a thrill out of helping me out."
Gloria sighed and nodded. "All right, I guess I can see your point if only because it will help you two bond a bit. Come on lets go find Dr. Zee." She never could resist his puppy dog eyes.
Dillon smiled at least he get out of dressing up for one of the ceremonies. Besides this way she was his all the sooner. There was no way he trusted those men in L.A. Gloria was even more beautiful now that she was pregnant and he was not trusting that some hot shot would not try to steal her away.

Bo Jay and his team were busy. They were examining all the ships found on the Mars Base. While some were older they would be useful back up defenses. The upgrades Boomer and Cain implemented meant that the manufacturing plant here would produce many spares in vipers and shuttles. The real surprise had been the facility to create Gunstars. That had been off line but was now upgraded and soon it would begin production. He had high hopes that at least three or four of the ships could be built here within the year. That along with the Earth based ship building would ensure a strong home world defense fleet. He knew that Athena was feeling guilty for staying behind but deep down Bo Jay knew that their jobs keeping Earth safe and secure was just as vital. He just hoped that they could get a large enough fleet to protect the sol system and move out. He knew there were many small pockets of human civilizations that could use help and protection. It never set well with him that they had to leave them behind and undefended. Only the Prison world had joined them and a few clones. No he wanted to help unite all humanity and drive the Cylons and others who meant them harm to extinction. At least the Ovain were dead and gone. He hard about that race and it gave him the sick feeling. He could not imagine how any sentient race could feed on another. It was a nightmare. He was for once glad he had been with Cain. He would have gotten sick for certain. He could still see how that memory haunted not only Cassiopia but Starbuck as well. Bo Jay was just glad his beloved had been spared waking up in a feeding tube.
