Day 1

Deck Chief Ralston did not understand why they were in the Omega Sector. There was a whole lot of nothing out here. Still the higher tempo and being able to train the new pilots and deck crew is nice. After this they were scheduled to go to Scorpia shipyards for some new system upgrades next month.

Dear gods is Technician Kerrigan a mess. First and this isn't her fault but she is too good looking. If two thirds of the men and a third of the women didn't act like frakking 14 year olds around her that would be nice. Again not her fault and her direct PO needs to get that crap under control now. To be fair Kerrigan is either oblivious or really good at ignoring how people react around her.

Still for the last couple hours she has been very distracted. Should go check and see what is going on.

"DAMAGE CONTROL TO OFFICER READY ROOM!"

'What the frak is going on' thought Chief Ralston. Just as he was about to send the damage control party they got another announcement.

"ATTENTION ALL HANDS BATTLESTATIONS" went over the PA.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Everyone let's clear the deck. We will have Vipers and Raptors coming in hot. Be ready to refuel and reload" said Chief Ralston. He moved over to the LSO to see what he could figure out.

"Sir repeat that. You are saying to hold off launching any more Vipers and Raptors" said the LSO. "Yes sir."

The LSO looked pissed. 'What is going on' thought Ralston. If the Cylons or whatever are attacking why are we not launching all the Vipers? Now the weapons stopped firing? A couple of hits but with the shaking it does not appear to be serious. And now we have jumped? What about the Vipers and Raptors out there?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Attention all passengers. We have confirmation that the Cylons are attacking the Colonies and there is an order for all civilian traffic to stay in place until further orders" said the Captain Ronald Aster. "Please keep calm. When we have more information we will let you know."

Ronald turned to his copilot. "Scott what do you think we should do" he asked.

"Ron we are picking up a small yacht and a cargo ship. We should at least form up with them and see if they have an ideas" replied Scott.

Without any better plans they contacted the two ships in close range. The yacht was owned by the Scorpia Ships Inc named the "Chalice" and the cargo ship was owned my a small mining company named the "Halstarr". They were willing to stay together to see if the hold in place order is lifted. Unfortunately the last broadcast they received was that President Adar had attempted to surrender but the Cylons were ignoring the surrender attempt.

The Captain of the Halstarr contacted the other two ships. "We have a mining outpost in the Omega Sector. It's not much but we do have the ability to make food and water and tyleum. If you are willing to chip in you can follow us. Or take your chances here."

Captain Aster and the Captain of the Chalice talked it over for a minute. They were unlikely to get a better offer so they agreed to follow the Halstarr to their location.

"Where the frak did that Battlestar go!" yelled Mark Cavil.

Leonard Dyo did not need to listen to a Number One yell. Being reborn wasn't a fun process and to deal with Cavil's incessant yelling and threatening of David Doral who had been in Command of this Baseship during the attacks. Dyo had been on Alvae (the second most important target after the Kestrel) and Cavil had been one of the larger mining trade hubs in this Sector. There was a Number Four who had been on New Hadrian named David Thompson. So far the other Number Two Justin Agios had not been found. The report that a Centaur Class ship of all things had been in Ofis A and that the ships from Ofis B had escaped probably meant that Brother Agios would turn up later when he had information or was able to do damage.

"Brother Cavil the Kestrel had it's port flightpod destroyed and took serious damage. It is unlikely that it survived" said Dyo. "We have the Raiders looking in the other systems nearby. Just show a little patience." The loss of almost half of their Heavy Raiders to the Centaur was an annoyance but they still had all their Raiders.

"Find that Battlestar at all cost. I don't care about that dinky ass Centaur and it's dozen mining ships" said Cavil in his condescending manner.

"Everyone here is what I have been told" Ralston had his entire deck crew gathered around. "The explosion was during the senior officer meeting. The Admiral, XO, Chief Medical Officer, and CAG were all killed. We also picked up a messenger Raptor. The Cylons attacked the Colonies. We have confirmed that the Colonies have all suffered massive nuclear strikes. At this time I do not have any more information."

Ralston gave the crew some time to process this. "If anyone is basic flight qualified they are to report to the new CAG."

"We need to pull the CNP program on all Vipers and Raptors we have left. Figuring out how to train the pilots to fly them without the CNP is the CAG's problem not your's Jenkins. Just get to work" said Ralston. Frakking idiot. 4 squadrons completely wiped out and he thought that the Vipers would fly like a brick without the CNP is the problem. Never mind apparently that the Cylons had hacked the entire Colonial Defense System. Technician Jenkins knows better than everyone else how critical the CNP is.

"Chief what can I do to help" asked Technician Kerrigan.

"Get started on the reserve Vipers. We can't afford any hangar queens" said Ralston. Kerrigan is possibly the biggest "book smart but no on hand skills" that Ralston had ever worked with in his career but Kerrigan was doing better than anyone else with the double shifts. She might be slow as in not having the experience but she doesn't make any mistakes from being tired. Thankfully the Rycon had the reserves along with the partial survivors of the last 2 squadrons. Still need to make sure everything works right as some flight school failure will need as little mechanical issues as possible.

Omega Sector System 15286
The Scorn

The Halstarr had lead them into a trap. Once they jumped to this sector an armed pirate ship the "Scorn" had ordered them to surrender or be destroyed. With little other choice the other two ships had surrendered. The pirates of the Scorn however were not just wanting to steal anything of value they had spaced all the old people, men, and children only allowing the "breedable" women to stay alive.

"The Colonies are destroyed. You are now my property. If you piss me off you will be spaced. If you do not willingly comply with what you are told you will be spaced. If you are not enthusiastic enough you will be spaced. Do any of you want to be spaced now? Since you all seem to understand your place I assume there are no further questions."

Dionna Breann had been the chief of staff for the CEO of Scorpia Ships Inc. and looking at the "women" (some were as young as twelve) she realized that these pirates were more interested in having as much "fun" as they could before they died. They weren't ever going to let them become "wives" (they mentioned having some at their base where the Chalice and Sunliner was sent to along with the Halstarr.) They were going to keep looking for other Colonial ships but Captain Gorman was talking about making himself the "pirate king" when he armed his now 7 ships. Talking with some of the other women (Janet Ifos had been an engineer on the Sunliner) they agreed to do the best they can for the girls but that things were going to get ugly.

Day 12

Commander Birk (former LT Colonel but now Commander) had been hoping to pick up some Tyleum but the Cylons appeared to have the same idea. There was a Basestar here with all of it's Raiders.

"Everyone be ready for some hot landings" said Ralston. That many of the pilots had 10 days training before their first combat mission means that damage is very likely.

"Baseship destroyed! All crews ready for incoming Vipers" said the overhead system.

"51,52,53 that is all remaining Vipers" said the LSO.

'That is eleven Vipers lost' thought Ralston. Damage appeared to be light to medium. Probably not enough skill in the pilots to deal with heavy damage unfortunately.

"Alright people let's get the pilots out of their birds and get everything fixed up" said Ralston.

"Did Trio make it" asked Technician Kerrigan.

"Trio" was a former deckhand from Kerrigan's crew that had been promoted to being a Viper pilot.

"Sorry no" said the LSO.

'Frak. He was a good kid' thought Ralston. Kerrigan seemed to deflate when she heard the news.

"You OK Sarah" asked Ralston.

"Yes Chief" said Kerrigan.

Ralston didn't believe her but everyone was faking it anyway.

Day 17

There was some good news finally. Three Colonial ships one cargo and two mining had been found. They were what is known as "Wildcat" miners or mining illegally but who the frak cares now. Bad news was the the deck crew was taking the loss of John Tripps "Trio" really hard. Tripps was a popular member of the deck crew and when he went to be a pilot everyone was happy to see a "deck monkey" become an officer. Kerrigan seemed to be taking it especially hard. Maybe they had something going on or maybe it's just how she is processing everything. Need to keep an eye on her along with everyone else.

The Scorn
Day 19

Captain Gorman was pissed. Apparently he had been looking for three ships that were in this sector illegally mining. They were found but there was a full Mercury class Battlestar there protecting them. They were able to jump out without the Battlestar noticing but he had three women spaced because they were reported as too "dull".

Day 23

The Kestrel had finally been found. It was a light month away in the same system the attack on it happened. The Kestrel had been destroyed. There is a lack of escape pods but it is possible that it blew up before they were able to launch any. Still that means that of the eight missing Battlestars they could officially remove one of them. Three were known to exist for certain with the Rycon, Pegasus, and Galactica all having fought with the Cylons after the fall of the Colonies. The other four though had not been seen. It's possible they were destroyed in the attack and not accounted for or that they were waiting to show up at a later time.

"Brother Cavil if you would like to report our success the Colony" said Leonard Dyo. "They will be happy with how well we did. I will now look for the Centaur and their ships." Hopefully he will agree so I can proceed with the mission and get rid of his histrionics and general disruption that Cavils always seem to cause.

Day 31

The last two weeks they spent fixing up all damage from the battles and training the pilots. They could vaguely be described as squadrons now even if "Dazzler" would have disagreed with that. Guess it doesn't matter since Dazzler is dead along with her entire squadron. Still haven't heard what the plan is. Some people are saying we should run and find a new planet. Some are saying to return back to the Colonies and kill as many Toasters as possible before dying. Not sure what I prefer thought Ralston. Dang it why is Kerrigan acting squirrelly again?

"ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL CYLON ATTACK INCOMING" said the PA.

"Frak that is 5 Basestars" said the LSO.

"All Vipers and Raptors launch. The Commander is planning on giving the civies as much time as we can and then we will jump out of here" said the CAG.

oooooooooooooooooooo

Basestar Beta3

"Welcome back Sister."

Technician Sarah Kerrigan did not know who the old man was but the other person look familiar.

"Doc where am I" asked Kerrigan.

"Calm down Sister you are home now" said Doctor Donaldson.

"Bullshit and how did we escape the Toasters?" Kerrigan had never expected to ever wake up again much less waking up naked in a bath tub with a dead Doctor and a guy who looks like a priest talking to her.

"How did you escape the Toasters" asked the old man.

"Yes the Cylons had us surrounded and everything was blowing up and the XO ordered us to brace for impact" said Kerrigan

"Box her" said the old man.

Omega Sector System 15521
Atlis
Day 36

Colonel Marton and the others had scoured over what little info there was in the Omega Sector. This system had been used to do some behind the front line supply runs so was on the list of "used" systems. The others had so far turned up nothing.

"Sir I am picking up a Colonial ship. It appears to be drifting but not destroyed. There might be people on board" said Chief Verdan.

"Colonial Ship this is Colonial Naval Ship Atlis asking if you need aid" said Colonel Marton.

"This is the Scorn acting Captain Ifos speaking. We do need help but I am requesting you only send a few people over until we can confirm your identity. We have had a run in with pirates and we are not all that trusting."

There was a few minutes of conversation where the Scorn explained what happened. They had been captured by pirates and used as sex slaves. 8 days ago they had after a large part of the pirates got overly drunk overthrown them and taken the Scorn but in the fight the engines were damaged rendering the ship unable to jump. Colonel Marton could see why they would be untrusting.

"Captain Talbot I would like you to take 3 female crewmembers along with Corpsmen Slader to the Scorn" said Colonel Marton. The Scorn reported they had 29 survivors which would take a couple shuttle runs to get everyone over. The ship is probably a write off but they could still strip it for parts.

About an hour later Captain Talbot reported in. "Sir we have 29 women here. They report all the pirates were killed. Probably they spaced some but I am not going to investigate it. We will send the first group over along with the food they had remaining. We should be able to send all the people and useful items over in 4 trips. I am coordinating with a Miss Breann who seems to have a good head for logistics. She said she will go last to make sure everything is take care of and that their acting Captain will come first."

The next two hours were having spent having the survivors along with the supplies shipped over. They seemed to be in bad shape and either very grateful or skittish around males. That this had happened made Marton's blood boil and that there were apparently 6 other ships in this pirate fleet made finding them a high priority. The shuttle had just docked to pick up the last group and then they could go to the rendezvous spot and send a ship to strip the Scorn.

"Sir I need to speak to you on a private channel" said Captain Talbot.

"Go ahead Captain" replied Colonel Marton.

"Sir Miss Breann just committed suicide. She had a letter that said read immediately and a folder that said read later. I read the letter and she claimed to be a Cylon and that we need to go now. and asked that we destroy the Scorn after everyone is off it. She will try to keep us a secret and that the other folder has some information but she can not guarantee our safety."

"Frak. Get that letter and folder and all the people. Leave anything that is not ready. We are jumping out of here as soon as you land" said Colonel Marton.

When they landed Marton read the letter. It said "destroy the Scorn because I am going to say it blew up when we fought the pirates. If they find it existing they will know I am lying and look for you." After the Atlis fired a single missile they left.

Baseship Epsilon 5

"Welcome Sister" said a Number Six.

Dionna Breann knew that the next few minutes would be the most dangerous for her. She needed to tell what happened but also lie. The people from the Sunliner and Chalice that had survived had become closer to her than her "siblings" and she wanted to protect them. She knew that the Cylons would kill them and that pirates would use them. She hoped that the Colonial Navy could protect them. And the biggest threat were the Cylons. She told her story (with needed revisions). That she had been able to kill 4 pirates bare handed and take their weapons wasn't surprising but it had started the revolt. That she had personally gut shot Captain Gorman and let him bleed out while he watched the other scum get spaced was pleasurable. Still that version had to be omitted. She told how when the last few pirates were chased down that they self destructed the ship's missiles killing everyone. Hopefully Colonel Marton wasn't stupid and left the Scorn intact.

The other models were certainly offended that one of their own could be so mistreated so they agreed to give her a ship. That it was badly damaged from the fight with the Rycon (three Baseships had been lost and this one had an arm blown off) was fine. It was more than enough to deal with the other 6 pirate ships. And since it was personal no other human form Cylons would join her by request so if they did come across the Atlis hopefully it could be ignored.

Omega Sector System 16625
Chiron

They were able to confirm the loss of the Rycon but there was no evidence of the 3 civilian ships. Commander Jasper had also read the information in the package left by Dionna Breanne. According to her there were 12 models of Cylons. There were some pretty good drawings of them with the number two matching the late Justin Agios. Apparently the number7 model line had failed and had no existing units. There were also 5 hidden models that no one knew anything about. That the Cylons somehow have 12 models but omit 7 and there are 13 is kind of annoying. You would think a race of robots were able to do basic math. Luckily the other survivors from the Scorn had all passed the Cylon test.

"Colonel Marton we need to look for those 3 missing ships. And if we find any of the other of the pirate ships (they had information on all of them) they will be offered a chance to surrender merely so we can see if they have any other slaves on board. Then they will be tried and dealt with as accessories to all the crimes committed by the late members of the Scorn's crew" said Commander Jasper.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Author Notes

I wanted to have all 3 of the Cylon parts at the same time. This also let's me close off some possible plot holes. Admiral Kronus and his XO knew about the rendezvous with ships but were killed by their CMO. The next in line did not know about this. Also the main reason that no Baseship is chasing after the Chiron (or Centaur as they think) is that the Cylons were looking for the far more dangerous Kestrel. Now we have two Baseships that will eventually be heading looking for the Chiron and it's fleet or at least in the same area.

Thank you all for reading any questions and comments are appreciated.
