A/N : I don't know how I still got idea both for my World War 3 fic, which I'm currently writing in my native language on blogspot, and this story. Maybe it's thanks to my unlimited - limited imagination? So, in the previous chapter we learnt how Adam's wife got into Galactica's timeline, also we had some ScottyxJaylah scene. This one will show small episode of WW3 "Battle of Tomaszów Mazowiecki (now with love story)" in holodeck, moments before Battle of Tylium Asteroid. I do not own any Battlestar Galactica/Star Trek characters or ships. My OC's are mine, if you want to use them contact me via pm or review. If you use them without my permission be sure that I will find you, and I will let Galia to frak you whole year, you know how Orions are horny right?
-Oh captain, my captain. I don't know how are we gonna get through this.
-Don't worry, I'll make sure you will survive. Winters! - shouted Scotty
-Sir?
-Get her through enemy line, we'll cover your squad.
-But what about you?
-Someone needs to stay, needs of the few overwhelm the needs of one, as Spock would say.
-No! I don't want you to die Montgomery.
-Even if I will ...
-Red alert! All hands battlestations!
-Oh this is just perfect timing! - says angry Scotty. Jaylah almost bursts into heavy laughter.
-Don't worry, there will be plenty of time after this madness.
-Like, hell we had after Pandora War time?
-I mean after Risa.
-Oh now I see. Computer, terminate program.
-Program terminated, standing by for new inquiry.
-Let's go.
Meanwhile, USS Enterprise Bridge.
-Here we go lads! Let's cover Galactica and Pegasus from those basestars, Uhura open comm to our ships.
-Hailing frequencies open.
-This is Rear Admiral Kielski, Adama, your Vipers will take on the smaller craft, provide AAA support for them. Asia, same for Vipers, but your ship will destroy any incoming missiles or nukes, standby to provide support fire on baseships.
-Roger that
-Target that nearest baseship, FIRE AT WILL!
Small shocks travel through our ship as all guns fire in a salvo mode, still they are destroyed near cylon vessel.
-What the bloody frak?! Can anyone explain?
-They seems to be using kinetic barriers or forcefield.
-They do what?!
-I guess those frakkin toasters are learning from previous mistakes.
-No shit Adama
We listen to that conversation while Vipers are closing to the asteroid, from here I can see the "flowers" of AAA shells.
-Keep firing on that baseship, if guns are not effective, then fire our "lethal" weapon. Lieutenant - I say to my daughter - you have the bridge.
-And where are you going to?
-I feel the need ...
-THE NEED FOR SPEED! - shouts someone behind me. I immediately turn around, my jaw drops as I see my old friend, Lt. Colonel Mikołaj Szalbierz.
-A ty co tu robisz? (What the hell are you doing here?)
-To samo mógłbym powiedzieć o tobie, przeca już od trzech miesięcy jesteś trupem.(I could say the same thing about you, you've been dead for three months)
-No widzisz, a jednak nie. (Well not exactly)
-Później wyjaśnisz, ładuj się do Vipera (You'll explain later, get your ass to Viper).
-On my way.
As I head to the hangar bay I see Jaylah running from EPS junction to engineering.
-What's going on?
-Those back-up circuits just failed, we're trying to repair them using Moscow's spare ones, but they are way different from ours.
-Keep trying, naybe you will figure something.
-I hope so.
I got into flight deck and as I was about to enter the Viper that Mikołaj prepared for me, I spotted pilot's name on it "Maj. Adam"Eagle"Kielski", I suppose it was mine before I died, atleast in this universe.
-Gotów? (Are you ready?)
-Czas skopać kilka tyłków (Time to kick some asses)
I take off with minimal possible speed, atleast it's enough to fly. When I reach the battlefield two friendly Vipers gets on my six.
-Identify yourself now!
-Rear Admiral Adam Kielski, follow me lads.
-Roger that!
I target nearest Raider that is firing at one of Galactica's fighter, I pull the trigger and my cannons spills some tracer rounds into the enemy, I hit his engines as he goes down in flames.
-YIIIIIIHAAAA! FIRST ONE ON ME!
-Nice one Eagle, I owe you one.
-Sure you do Apollo!
We keep flying and keep shooting engaging as many Raiders as possible, suddenly huge bright light appears to my right, and one of baseships disapears, seems like Enterprise got one. Second one goes down as phasers hits him.
-Bigger bogeys are down, all fighters! Fire your rockets and fall back! -I give orders to Viper pilots. We get closer to the asteroid, as I have guidance lock I push the button and two rockets head to their target. Rest are doing the same thing. All platforms are destroyed in heavy explosions. Rest of the surviving Raiders are falling back, now we have enough fuel for ...
-Eagle! To your right, watch out!
Where did that Marauder came from? I turn around pretty fast just to see rocket fired in my direction.
-Kurwa... - I swear. I try to move away from it, I almost succeed. But it scratches my wing, alarms goes off in my cockpit.
-Eagle, you okay?
-Shaken, but fine. I'm bogging out and heading home, no way I can fight with that.
-Roger that. Apollo, Starbuck, escort him to the Enterprise.
-On my way
When I land inside our hangar bay, I got surrounded by my crew.
-Are you sure nothing happened to you.
-Frak off Bones, I'm completely fine
-Your heart is beating like crazy ...
-Trust me, nothing that would affect me that much.
-You're not that young anymore Adam, you'd better keep that in mind.
-I'm doing that since Risa, now excuse me. Scotty! What is that big hole in our saucer?
-Well how to explain that ...
-Simply as possible.
-Galactica misfired at us.
-THEY DID WHAT?
-One turret had malfunction, it got stuck with shell loaded, and it somehow fired, right when few rounds from baseship took down our kinetic barriers.
-Frakin awesome, casualties?
-Almost none, two crewmen got some burns as they were fighting the fire in private quaters.
-Seems very interesting. I'll be in my room, if you need me.
As I get to my place I fell into my bed, exhausted, shaken. Still, how the heck I missed that Marauder? I should've seen that bastard, I'm getting older, I think it's time to step off fighter scene and concentrate on Enterprise. My thoughts are interrupted by door chime.
-Whose there?
-"Noone dies on my watch" - I smile as I hear Asia's voice.
-Hey, come in.
I immediately get slapped ... twice!
-Never do that to me you frakkin bastard!
-I never will, Enterprise is my fighter right now. I think my eyesight got worse.
-Strange, you always had "Eagle" sight.
-I know, I'll let Bones check it tomorrow, now excuse me, but I'm really tired and I need to sleep that over.
-If you don't mind I'll take the Enterprise.
-Just return her before midnight, and don't scratch the paint! - She smiles as she quits my quaters. I lay on my bed, the humming engines are pretty sleepy ...
