"FTL jump complete."
Admiral Adama looked at the DRADIS screen above the Command and Control station.
"We have two more jumps before we are at the portal, sir." Said Gaeta.
"Very good." Said Adama.
Adama walked around the table watching his officers at their stations. Tigh stepped up beside.
"A whole four days of jumping and hiding and no sign of any aliens coming after us." Said Tigh.
"So far we're in the clear. But I got to ask you what are we going to say to the Federation when we get there?" asked Tigh.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Said Adama.

"Now entering Cylon sector." Said Sulu.
The Enterprise came out of warp speed and entered orbit of the Cylon homeworld.
"Captain, we are receiving a hail from the surface." Said Uhura.
"On screen." Said Kirk.
On the screen appeared the face of a Cylon model Number 1.
"This is Cavil speaking, a pleasure to see you again, Captain Kirk." Said Cavil.
"I wish I could say the same." Said Kirk.
"Yes, we heard everything from Starfleet. We are preparing our defences as we speak." Said Cavil.
"That's good. In the meantime my science officer went over the passenger manifest of the Galactica and has informed me that one of your agents served as one of her pilots." Said Kirk.

An hour later Kirk and the other officers were in the briefing room with an Eight named Boomer.
"Adama is a name I have not heard in a long time." Said Boomer.
"You remember him?" asked Kirk.
"Yes." Said Boomer.
"Miss Valeri, we have reason to believe that Adama is coming to ask for help from the Federation. We want to know if he is the type of man we can actually trust." Said Kirk.
Boomer had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Adama was a kind and caring man when I first met him. Everyone on the Galactica, respected, even loved him as if he was family. He was an inspiration for his duties in the first war and he was the type of man who would disobey orders if he believed it was for the best. I know he had a family but one of his sons died in an accident and the other kind of blamed him for it.
He was great but sad. I heard that he took command of the fleet and ordered it to retreat when you destroyed Nagala's ship. He ordered them to retreat." Said Boomer.
Kirk and the others had listened carefully.
"He must be one good commander." Said McCoy.
"He was." Said Boomer.
"From what I heard I think I understand why he's doing this. He knows the risks here but he's taking a shot." Said Kirk.
"This could be the chance to establish a dialogue with the Colonies. They needed to understand that they were not alone in the universe and maybe now they'll ask for help." Said Chekov.
"Unlikely, Mr. Chekov. There was no communication between the Galactica and the Colonial command. I do not think that Adama received to ask us for assistance." Said Spock.
"Wouldn't truly surprise me if they didn't. They are a proud people." Said Kirk.
"So what do we do?" asked Sulu.
Kirk was silent for a few moments.
"We wait and see what Adama has to say."
I know this was short but I am a little short on what's going to happen next time. Anyway I forget to wish you all Merry Christmas last time I am updated.
So Merry Christmas everyone and just in case I forget again Happy New Year.
