Battlestar Galactica:
With all the commotion, from the jubilation of "winning" the battle with the cylons, Kara managed to escape without performing her post flight checklist. She ran full speed towards the CIC. Everything was going past so fast; the rest of the world didn't seem to matter to Kara. People were whizzing past her, getting ever closer to the CIC with every turn she made.
Standing in front of the CIC hatch, Kara could already see the commotion inside. Then she saw it, the sudden trance that the admiral seemed to have gone into. She knew that at that instant Lee was gone, that he was lost, that he did not land with everyone else. She knew that the old man would be devastated, knew that loosing Lee wasn't just a punch in the gut for her but also an immense loss for the old man and the whole fleet.
She slumped back against the wall by the CIC hatch and slid down to sitting on the floor. Her world crashing around her, her person gone. Vanished. Disappeared. Dead? She didn't want to think anymore, instead all Kara could do was sit there and let her emotions pour out.
Cylon Basestar:
"Wake up!" The cylon 6 model yelled at Lee while kicking him forcefully to his side. The six model walked to the back of Lee, smiling sadistically, watching Lee slowly starting to stir and opening his eyes. With anger in the six's eyes, she dragged Lee by the hair to look at her. In a menacing voice, she asked Lee "Where is Earth?! What does the colonials know about it?"
Lee who still haven't really fully comprehended the situation, and still groggy, couldn't really come with a reply. All he could do was groan from the situation. Six threw Lee's head down to the floor. His head slammed with a loud bang onto the floor of the basestar. Next thing he knew he was back in dreamland.
Battlestar Galactica:
Kara lost track of time, sitting there seeing people walk by without a care in the world. Inside the CIC, the commotion has died down a little, but a new mission was underway. The old man has ordered that a S&R mission. Two raptors are to jump back to the original coordinates and start a search grid for Lee, unless there are cylons in the area.
Kara stormed into the CIC and automatically signed herself up as one of the pilots for the mission.
They were going to find Lee even if it took them forever to. They weren't going to give up, they weren't going to ride him off as dead. They had faith that he was still alive.
In the hanger bay, two raptors were already set and ready to be launched. Kara was sitting in one of the raptors starting the pre-flight check. Helo was sitting in the ECO seat and Athena was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
Kara was about to close the hatch but saw Admiral Adama was walking her way. She stepped out of the raptor and stood at attention giving him a salute.
"Captain, at ease. What do you hear Starbuck?"
"Nothing but the rain sir."
"Then grab your gun and bring the cat in. Bring our boy back."
"Copy that sir."
"Be careful out there. Come back at first sign of trouble. We can't afford to lose more pilots."
"Understood sir."
After that exchange, Kara gave Adama a hug and entered the raptor. She closed the hatch. The last thing Adama saw was the raptor being lifted and he hoped that Lee would be brought back to him. If the Gods were real, he damn right prayed that they would bring him back to him safely.
Adama couldn't afford to lose Kara too. He has to trust in her abilities and have faith that she was coming back safely. With slumped shoulders, he walked back to the CIC to watch over this mission.
"Galactica Starbuck. We are cleared of Galactica and prepping for jump on your orders."
"Starbuck Galactica. Jump on your mark. Good hunting!"
"Galactica Starbuck. Wilco Galactica."
In a bright flash the two raptors jumped away. The transponder disappeared from DRADIS and the mission official started. All Adam was able to do was stare at the DRADIS console and wait for any news on Lee. The time was killing him, he was not much of a patient person, and especially when it involved his son, he was even less so.
Raptor:
"Starbuck, you see Lee's viper out there?"
"There so much debris that it's hard to tell. Athena, let's go around this way.
Athena rolled the raptor around and started searching around the section where Galactica once was. They saw plenty of destroyed vipers out there and parts from vipers that were hit. They saw pieces of Raiders floating around, every now and then bumping into those tiny pieces.
Kara suddenly sat upright, thinking that she saw something.
"Athena, hand over controls to me."
Kara brought the raptor in the direction that she thought was of value. Heading straight for it, she saw an intact viper, on the side it said "Apollo." The closer they got the more dread started to set in not just for Kara but for everyone in the raptor.
"Raptor 2, we found Apollo's viper but he's not inside."
"Raptor 1, copy that. You think the cylons got him?"
"Raptor 2, I hope not. Alright let's search in this sector to see if he punched out"
"Raptor 1, coming around now. Should be in your visual range soon."
"Copy that raptor 2."
Cylon Basestar:
Lee slowly opened his eye. Pain suddenly shooting from his sides. He reckons that he broke a rib or two. He was confused where he was, all he knew was that he was in a cage, it sure wasn't the brig in Galactica.
From the corner of his eyes he saw an 8 model walking around to him. It was Sharon. He knew he was doomed. He was captured and more than likely in a cylon basestar.
With his ribs still hurting and the added light, it caused his head to hurt as well. Man! It felt like he just woken up from an ambrosia stupor.
Number 8 started to walk closer towards Lee, every step was agonizing for him. He knew what waited for him. He knew that he was going to be tortured. Surprisingly number 8 walked into his cell with a cup of water and set it on the floor. She then walked out, locked the cage and disappeared. He was alone again and had water to drink. He picked up the glass of water and chugged the whole thing. He sat there looking around for possible ways to escape.
Not long later he started to feel dizzy, like his eyes was starting to get droopy. Slowly he started to close his eyes and his world once again became dark.
Raptor:
"Alright, we are on bingo fuel. Let's head for home and give them an update."
"Copy that raptor 1"
The pilots punched in the jump coordinates and in a flash of bright light, they were gone. Next thing they saw was Galactica right ahead of them.
Battlestar Galactica:
"DRADIS contact!" Lieutenant Gaeta shouted out.
"What is it? Cylon?"
"No sir. I'm getting colonial. It's raptor 246 and 253. Its Starbuck sir."
Adama picked up the headset and was impatiently waiting for contact.
"Galactica Starbuck. Requesting to speak to Galactica Actual."
"This is Galactica Actual. What do you have Starbuck?"
"Sir, we found Apollo's viper but he wasn't inside. We searched around his viper in hopes that he punched out. There has been no visual contact or even signs that he punched out. Sir, we are on bingo fuel and request permission to land."
"Permission granted."
As the raptors landed, the hanger bay was once again busy. Starbuck wasted no time in opening the hatch of the viper and jumping out, only to be met by Admiral Adama himself.
"Starbuck, get the raptor to refuel and head back out. I want Lee found."
"Yes sir! Permission to speak off the record sir?"
"Permission granted."
"I want Lee found as much as you, I suggest having more than two raptors out there. It's a frakking nightmare to maneuver through all the debris, it's just draining our fuel."
"Alright get two more raptors out there to join the search."
"Thank you, sir."
Cylon Basestar:
Lee slowly started to come through once again. This time instead of just lying on the floor. He realized that he was chained. His arms were above his head changed to the ceiling of the basestar. He was slightly lifted up from the ground, the searing pain this time wasn't coming from his ribs but from his shoulders.
All Lee can think about was Kara. How her mouth tasted, how her skin felt on his. How soft her hands were when it was running down his chest to a lower region of his body. The sweat that was glistening from there bodies. The feel of his hand in her hair. The soft moans that emanated from her soft lips. It felt like only yesterday that the two of them slept together.
If he was going to survive this, Kara had to be his home. Had to be the person he leans on. He knew that his father wouldn't stop until they found him, he knew that Kara wouldn't stop until he was found either. He just has to hold out until they find him.
Number six walked from around the corner, gingerly walking up to the cage, opening it and walking in. She placed her hand on Lee's chest and slowly and seductively moved it down until it reached his abdomen. Number six got close to Lee's ear and whispered in his ear.
"You're going to tell me everything you know, or I'm going to make this really hard."
