Chapter 13

ESS Excalibur
Hyperspace

Alliance President Katherine Langford sits in the corner of Admiral Thrace's office while the Admiral himself is going over the data from the Fu Zhou and a rectangle device Staff Sergeant Yoshiro found in the secret compartment from the Viper. He could remember the day when the news hits him. But he doesn't have the time to reminisce of the past but Katherine has been consistent of talking to him about it.

"You had your chance with me when you left for Ida." Katherine said with a smile, the Admiral couldn't resist. "Since then I've waited for your return."

"I'm sorry; I didn't know how you felt about me." Clark responded while fiddling with the device. He tries getting it open but nothing works. "The Alliance military retired this storage device cause of its ineffectiveness and Doctor McKay stubbornness to fix the problem."

"I remember that day." Katherine showed her big smile. "He pleaded the fifth before the committee and said…"

"I under underestimate how smart I am sometime." They both said together.

"Maybe Kara can help." Katherine suggested.

"Maybe your right, what can I do without you." The Admiral said before calling his secretary to radio for Kara Thrace.

In the hanger, Kara looks is inspecting her refitted viper with amazement while giggling like a school girl. She looks at the plasma cannons they replaced the originals with. "Sweet,"

"You like the upgrades?"

The voice of Staff Sergeant Yoshiro startled her as he stood by the prototype scout fighter.

"You startled me." Kara said as she approaches the man with a clinch fist and lightly punches the Staff Sergeant on the shoulder. "Frak, I don't know what you did to my baby but I love it."

Kara climbs into the cockpit and scans the instruments, none of the instrument she is accustomed are gone. The dradis console has been replaced by tactical/short range sensors and the joy stick and throttles are gone, replace by a glowing red ball protruding out. She looks up at him and gave him a confused look.

"The controls you're use to are gone, replace by standard rudimentary flight control system." Yoshiro pointed to the red orb and place his palm over the red orb and moved it side to side. He looks at him and notice she is confuse with the techno babble. "It's like an advanced joy stick and throttle all in one."

"Ah, I got it." Kara said as she touches the red orb and it lit up.

"Biometric confirm: Kara Thrace identified." The disembodied voice of a computer said as the cockpit lit up.

"Frak me." Kara cursed, startled by the voice of the computer.

"Only you can fly the craft, it will only respond to your command only." Yoshiro explained. "If anybody tampers with it, they have thirty seconds to identify themselves with an eye scan that links to the Alliance database or that it locks down after 30 seconds. then, further tampering will cause the system to slag. after all, you don't want a death due to a frakked data link, or worse, a failure with the system in combat with the pilot."

"I think I got the jab of it." Kara said as she looks around in her cockpit and pointed to the new control system she's unfamiliar with.

"That my friend is a hyper drive control system."

"Hyper drives control what?"

"What kind of Faster than light technology do your people uses?"

"You're asking the wrong person about faster than light technology." Kara said. "The Colonial uses a FTL drive that I'm not permitted to explain. What do the hyper whatever you call it do?"

Before Yoshiro could explain the basic of hyper drive, the intercom had to ruin all the fun when the disembodied woman's voice called Kara Thrace to the Admiral's office

"Kara, can you open this?" Clark asks his daughter.

"Where did you get that?"

"In a compartment while were refitting your fighter." The admiral looks at his daughter. She has no idea what it is. "Do you know what it is?"

"I have no clue; my mother gave it to me for luck before she died." Kara said. The Admiral handed her the device and touch the biometric reader on the latch. As soon as it hissed open, she dropped it on the desk, spilling its contents. "I'm sorry." Kara apologized.

"It's alright; we've trying to pry this open with a laser torch." Katherine said while approaching Kara.

Kara picks up a photo and she recognized it immediately.

"You look like you saw a ghost." The Admiral stated. He saw the picture his daughter is holding. "Beautiful isn't she?"

"My mother is Laura Roslyn." Kara sat down slowly on a chair and she is in deep thought. "The President of Twelve Colonies of Kobol, we crossed paths and I didn't vote for her." She drops the picture on the desk and glances at the ship patch and a photo of her as a baby and in the arms of her real mother.

After learning that his wife is now the President of the Colonials now, it's time for his daughter to embark on a mission to be reunited with the fleet.

"Kara, the fleet will rendezvous with 5th fleet at Betazoid in a couple of minutes; don't look at me, I didn't name it." The Admiral responded after getting a scolding look from the President. "It's a couple thousand light years from the Ionian nebula."

"I bet he calls the Alpha Colony Alphazoid." President Langford snickers.

"I thought the Excalibur…" Kara interrupted by her father.

"Your mission is take your Viper and rendezvous with the Colonial fleet."

"But how do I get there with my Viper?"

"Your Viper is equipped with the latest Asgard hyper drive system. It will take you seconds." The Admiral notices that his daughter is getting upset about leaving her family again. "You have to relay a message that you know where Earth is and you must guide them before the Fleet arrives to assist.

"What if they don't believe me?"

"Convince them."
