Prompt: Jonathan Archer -"Have him take a look at your head" - 'Enterprise'
There had to be a way to get close enough to the Cylon refinery to carry out the plan. That facility needed to be destroyed so that they could mine the fuel needed for the Fleet to keep going. As the conveyor tunnel came into view in the canyon ahead of him, an idea came to mind.
An idea that only someone as crazy as Starbuck would even contemplate attempting and yet might be their only shot.
"Oh no, don't do this, Lee,"* he muttered softly to himself before realize that now he was talking to himself. Maybe Kara was rubbing off on him more than he cared to admit. In any case, he should probably have doc Cottle check him out if he survived this.
"The conveyor tunnel's clear. I'm going through it,"* Apollo announced over his radio, still wondering what the frak he was thinking. They had no intel as to where the conveyor tunnel went. Once he entered he was in all reality flying blind.
"You're out of you're frakking mind, Apollo,*" came Kat's response over the radio.
He definitely couldn't argue with that assessment and he was pretty sure everyone else shared her assessment even if they weren't brave enough to actually say it.
Still, desperate times called for desperate measures and as the last of humanity, they certainly were desperate.
If he pulled this off he would be a hero. If he didn't, well then he wasn't going to be around to worry about the outcome.
Before he could regain his sanity and talk himself out of this plan of action, he headed his Viper toward the tunnel opening.
