A/N: Ok people seem to like the start. Anything you all would like to see happen in this fic, like maybe Apollo and Starbuck get some action going, or maybe more Dee and Billy I just love those two they are the best couple on Sci-Fi in the sense that they are a couple and not just playing around each other like most every one else on the other shows.

Chapter 2

The four vipers and two raptors flew around the giant black sphere. As the small flight of vipers and raptors flew over the immense structure it felt as if they were crawling, but they had their afterburners kicked in at full throttle. The unknown vessel was large enough that they had started to do an orbit run around the ship.

(It is huge but it has to be a space station I don't see any engines.) Thought Apollo.

"The sensors aren't telling us too much. The hull appears to be an unknown alloy but it is so dense and so thick. I am reading that the hull is 50 feet thick in some places and 150 feet in others, that I don't think anything we have with us could get through it. No clue as to the power source it looks like the generators are deep in the hull near the center. The hull has a diameter of 218 miles, the largest crater is 1.8 miles across and 300 feet deep looks like the inner hull is made of the same alloy as the outer hull. The sensors are showing rooms, very large rooms near the outer hull not to much detail we are only getting readings threw the massive amount of craters, the thicker the alloy the less the sensors work." Reported Helo from the raptors sensor console to Apollo.

"Cylon contact! More than ten basestars and at least nine hundred raiders are showing up on the sensors!" Yelled Helo.

Helo started to hit switches on the console in front of him getting ready for a micro jump back to the fleet. (Frack ten basestars that is too many basestars. How did that many basestars get in front of us? I can't die here. Who else will take care of Sharon and the baby? I need to make sure everyone else can get out to just have to program the micro jump fast.)

"Wait; there is no response at all to us. They have to see us by now … wait look at the raider over there it is just spinning on it's side, and so are most of them. No movement at the closest basestar. No weapons locks, no sensor emissions, no energy emissions at all." Said Helo. The console in front of Helo started to beep and a red light started to blink. "Sir, we are being scanned with a massive amount of energy. It looks like it is coming from the sphere, it is scanning our flight computers there seems to be no way to keep it out. (O Frack this can't be good. How is this possible this scan was to fast to be the cyclons plus the cyclons are dead in space? And if they got control of our computers, they would just us them to kill us. ) But, it does not look like it is trying to take over our ship's computer. The computer is showing a data feed going out back to the wreck. Wait, the sphere's energy signature has changed. I am showing a beacon on the hull, if I am reading this right the ship wants us to come on board." Said Helo.

"Ok people, lock on to that beacon and follow Helo's raptor in." ordered Apollo.

"Galactica come in, we are going to board the ship that we found. Be advised we also found dead I repeat dead Cylon ships near the wreck that we found." Reported Apollo. He did not wait for a reply as the fleet was over five light minutes away by now, but since the cyclons were dead in space it should not be a problem.

"Gaius it may not be a good idea to go into that ship, look at that fleet out there something bad happened here." Moaned Number Six. As Gaius Baltar was looking at the sensor console repeater behind Helo trying to make sense of the reading he was getting.

As the group of ships moved closer to the beacon they saw a large door open in front of them. The door was at least 400 feet across and bright white light shines out of the entryway. The light faded as the ships pull into the doorway. The room lights up as they landed on the deck. The floor, walls and ceiling were a pale blue. The vipers and both the raptors shut down their engines. Apollo and Starbuck were the first ones to get to Helo's raptor.

Apollo asked, "If all those craters on the surface are weapons hits, how are the lights in this room still working?"

Dr. Baltar answered, "No idea but there are only small craters anywhere near this airlock or hatch or what ever you want to call that access to this room."

The lights on the far side of the room dimmed to about a half of what they were when the ships first landed, and a hallway to the right of the Helo's raptor lit up. Everyone looked over at the hallway, Starbuck turned around to look at what everyone was looking at and said, "Well, if that is not an invite I don't know what is."

Starbuck, Helo, Apollo and Dr. Baltar started to walk down the hallway. It was very long; the lights in the hallway lit up and followed their movement as they walked down the hallway. After about 20 minutes the hallway ended in an oval room with closed doors all around it. As the group moved deeper into the room one of the doors to their right opened and began to flash to get their attention. Apollo and Helo both drew their sidearms and pointed them at the doorway. Starbuck pushed Gaius away from the door. After nothing happened, no movement and nothing jumping out at them, they walked up to the doorway and stopped. "Ok, why would the ship want us to walk into an empty room?" Asked Starbuck.

"No idea, but there is a screen and console on the far wall," Stated Apollo. The group walked into the room and up to the console. They did not see the soft glowing red light in the rooms four corners near the ceiling, not that they could have understood them if they did as the sensors behind those lights were based on a science that no one had thought about yet or dreamed about, but in this case it was just working as a simple motion sensor. The screen lit up as they walked up to it. It was a large screen and it showed what appeared to be a diagram of the ship. The room they were in was flashing on the screen with four dots that seemed to match up with were everyone was standing. Everyone was still looking at the screen when they felt the pressure change as the door closed but everyone was still trying to make sense of the diagram in front of them when they saw another room start to flash in time with the room they were in. There was a flash but nothing happened until Lee pointed at the screen and said, "I don't know how but we are in a different room."

"What do you mean we are in another room? We didn't move," Asked Helo.

"Well, I don't know what to tell you. I was looking at the screen and I saw both rooms start to flash in time together and we were showing up in the one room than there was that flash of white light from everywhere and we are now showing up in the other room."

"It almost sounds like matter transmission technology. Like our FTL drive but on a smaller scale," Stated Dr. Baltar.

The door opened and the lights in the room started to dim. A short hallway appeared outside the door. Everyone walked out into the hallway, the walls were a deep blue. At the end of the hallway was a huge room. It was three stories high and consoles were everywhere. Most were dark and had soot on them. Broken crystals littered the floor. At the far side of the room which had to be a good 800 feet away was a soft blue glow. The consoles on the far side of the room were lit up and they had what looked like crystal floating in front of the consoles with a strange alien language. For some strange reason everyone felt drawn to the strange blue glow. Gaius was walking with the rest of the group, he was looking at the room with awe. (Gods the technology in this room, this ship, it is very advanced I have yet to see a circuit board just a lot of crystal shards all over the place.) Thought Gaius. They were about 100 feet away from the glow when Gaius walked past a group of consoles that made a large deep shadow on the floor he almost tripped over something, so he looked down and yelped. The others looked over at Gaius from the other side of the pathway through the consoles and pulled their guns. There next to Gaius was a body. Apollo walked over to the body and turned it over with his left hand and carefully keeping the gun pointed at the body, it was a copy of Boomer there was blood coming out of her eyes and mouth and a little out of her ears. Helo saw the face as Apollo finished turning over the body. He almost cried as he saw the body of Sharon in front of him.

"Well it looks like the Cylons got onboard but it didn't do them any good." Said Starbuck with that happy gleam in her eyes.

Dr. Baltar and the group started to move towards the blue glow. This time everyone saw a sliver mass on the floor, it was at least 5 metal Cylons on the floor partially melted together. (Frack what the hell happened to the Cyclons? Holy frack those are heavy combat Cyclons what the hell can melt those?) Thought Starbuck. Apollo walked past the Cyclons to check if they were still active but the red moving eye had gone out on all the heads that had not melted into the pool of metal on the floor. They kept going on to the blue glow. Then they were at the blue glow. It was a man, a man in a blue glowing crystal and metal tube.

"Well, this is something you don't see everyday." Deadpanned Starbuck. (Who ever this guy is he looks good lots of muscle and some scares too those are always good.)

Apollo and Helo still had there guns out as Starbuck walked up to the crystal and placed her hand on it. The blue crystal reacted to her touch and got warmer. The crystal in the black metal tube started to flash brighter and brighter. Just as the flashes got as bright as Starbuck could stand the flashes stopped but the crystal stayed bright, she saw the man's eyes open.

A/N: How was that chapter? Please tell me what you think.
