All it takes to change one's life is a split second decision. In half-n-hour relationships shall fall-while other's bloom. But one question still remains—will the crew survive this latest Cylon attack? Or will betrayal be their only future?
Backflash
'The day started out as any other. The cylons attacked, we launched vipers to counter them. They sent in their Baystar, we sent in the Galactica. Boring. That is until one rumor set the entire crew against one another.'
0705
Life Station
"Doc, we got more coming in!" yelled out the soot-covered soldier as he helped to bandage a second-degree burn.
"Frak," muttered the doctor as he headed over to the door to see the new arrivals. "Separate into three categories; bandage those who are able to return to duty, next anyone with a broken limb or minor injury, lastly anyone who requires surgery."
"You got it doc."
"Thank you," he stated as he turned around to go check on his current patient: Lt. Kara Thrace.
"Captain?" He called out hesitantly as he entered the med room.
"Yeah?"
"Captain, they are currently compiling a list of the last known positions of people who are listed as MIA."
"KIAs?"
"One-hundred thirty-seven. There is also fourteen listed as being MIA…"as he said this last part he voiced was toned out by the usual closed off CAG.
Underneath the rubble
How long? How long had they been trapped under the rubble? It seemed like hours yet in reality it had only been a few minutes> The pointless thoughts flashed threw her mind as she tried to redirect her mind from the well-built raptor pilot who was currently resting atop of her.
What was taking them so long> A sudden moaning drew her attention to her companion. "Lords of Kobal hear my prayer…
"Please don't let him die."
Hanger Bay
"Alright people listen up, we have exactly ten minutes to clear this entire bay before they open up the bay doors to put out the fires," yelled Tyrol as he silently took count of the group before him.
"Let's do this!"
"Hurry up people," said Tyrol as stopped by Col. Tigh, "All are accounted for except two."
"Who?"
"Specialist Cally and Lt. Crashdown."
"Where were they last seen?"
"According to my people, they were directly below the missile strike," Tyrol replied as he stared at the ground. "There's no way that they could have survived."
"I understand."
"Sir, How's Lt. Thrace?" questioned Tyrol as the Col. walked away.
"The doctor doesn't think that she'll make it through the night," he stated as he continued on his way.
CIC
"Alright people, the Cylons know that we are dead in the water-I want options on how to be undead. Any ideas?" asked Commander Adama as he looked around at the gathered officers, he noticed three that were missing.
"Where's Capt. Apollo, and Lt.'s Starbuck and Crashdown?"
"Sir, the CAG and Starbuck are in Life Station and Crashdown is listed as MIA."
"What happened?"
Life Station
"Son..." the Commander said quietly as he gently laid his hand on his shoulder.
"Huh...Dad?" said the sleepy pilot. "What's going on? Is everybody ok?"
"All are accounted for except Lt. Crashdown, and Specialist Cally."
"Are they going to search for them in the bay?"
"Son...the Cylon strike caused numerous fires and gases to escape in the Hanger Bay. I gave Chief Tyrol and his crew ten minutes to perform a sweep of the area before we clear everybody out and open the bay doors."
"Why? Never mind-it's SOP."
