"Jump complete" Lt Gaeta reported.

"DRADIS?" Adama asked anxiously.

"All clear sir, we're in position two thousand clicks from the Depot" Lt Gaeta said.

"Good, Helm, take us in, Dee, raise them on wireless" Adama ordered

"Yes sir" Dualla said.

"Fleet Depot one two seven, this is Battlestar Galactica, ID. Code eight one six Epsilon nine two, please respond" Dee said into the wireless.

"This is Depot one two seven to Galactica, we copy" a garbled voice said over the wireless.

"We have orders from HQ to rearm and take all ordnance available, over" Dee said.

"Roger that Galactica"

"Tell the chief to launch all Raptors to bring in the munitions and dispatch two shuttles to tow the Gunships to the hangar bay" Adama ordered.

"Aye aye sir" Dee said.

One hour later.

"Sir, the chief reports all ordnance has been secured and that all the new birds have been towed in" Dee reported.

"We are getting strange reports about CNP failures sir, I recommend we take the program out of our birds and use the old version" Gaeta said coolly.

"Do that, now" Adama said.

"Good, that would leave our air wing at?" Adama asked to Tigh.

"Thirty six MkII's, sixteen MkVII's and twelve Reapers" Tigh quickly said.

"Good, what about pilots?" Adama asked.

"The squadron that was heading for Caprica was recalled has just landed, we have the pilots to crew all ships" Tigh said.

"Okay, Mr Gaeta, plot a jump to place us in low Virgon orbit" Adama said.

"Yes sir".

"What about Roslin and the civilians?" Tigh asked to Adama.

"Open a line to Colonial Heavy 798" Adama ordered.

"Right away sir" Dee said.

"This is colonial heavy 798, we copy" a voice said on the wireless shortly afterwards, which Bill recognized as his son's.

"Patch me through" Adama said. Dee nodded.

"Is your ship okay?" Adama asked coldly.

"Yes sir, we are fine" Lee responded.

"Good, you are to continue SAR ops; we will jump to Virgon and join the fight" Adama said.

"But…" Lee said.

"But nothing Captain, you have your orders.

"Yes sir" Lee responded coolly.

"Son" Adama said "Take care".

"Uh...Roger that Actual, same goes for you" Lee responded.

"Sir, we are ready for jump" Gaeta reported.

"Patch me through the ship" Adama said.

"Crew of Galactica¸ this ship has seen many battles, endured dark times at the hands of the cylons, now we can take avenge the souls just lost, in few minutes time we will be jumping to Virgon, to join Adm. Nagala's counterattack, perform your duties, trust your fellow shipmates and we will all get through this".

"Set Condition One, I want all birds loaded in the tubes right frakking now!" Tigh barked.

"All decks report condition one sir" Gaeta said.

"Jump the ship"

"Yes sir, jumping in five, four, three, two one, jump."

Space twisted as Galactica suddenly reappeared in Virgon's orbit.

"DRADIS contacts, Battlestars Mercury, Atlantia, Hemera, Hades, Rycon, Aurora, Prometheus, Orion, Cerberus, Night Flight, Athena, Perseus, Delphi and Uned" Gaeta said after checking the DRADIS screen.

"This is Atlantia to Galactica, you are to take position on our left flank and prepare to engage the enemy" the garbled voice of Adm. Nagala said over the wireless.

"Roger that flagship" Dee responded over the wireless.

"What about enemy contacts?" Adama asked anxiously.

"Reading, forty, strike that, make fifty five enemy Basestars" Gaeta said panicked.

"Take us in, and prepare to engage the enemy" Adama ordered firmly.
