CHAPTER-40

[BREAK]*****************************************************************************************************************

Adama and Lee arrived in the CIC at the same time, but from different directions.

Colonel Tigh saw them " Gaeta you are in charge of the CIC until the commander or I get back "

Tigh turned to Adama " We are needed in situation room one "

They headed that way knowing Boomer had information.

Boomer had stood while waiting on them and she came to attention as her superior officers entered " Sirs I have important information "

Adama spoke " Let's all sit down while you fill us in Boomer "

Boomer nodded than sat down " As you know Caprica blew the base star up and she and the eights have secured two base stars and are picking up as many Simon's as they can " she paused " Cavil told Caprica to get most of the cylons off of Caprica before meeting up with him, but she said Cavil was angry about not finding Leobon so he has decided to come after the fleet to try to capture Starbuck to use against Leobon "

" Frak " Lee swore in frustration " How do they know where we will be?"

Boomer knew Apollo was hoping she knew " Other than the cylon scouts finding us I think we have to assume they have a mole in the fleet like we do in theirs "

Adama was as frustrated as Lee " We will have to stay on alert status and jump away if Cavil shows up, buying Caprica time to talk to Simon and meet back up with Cavil "

Tigh sighed " Commander I really wish you would tell me what's going on if I am going to be of any help to you and the fleet "

Adama sighed " I know you may not believe me Saul, so I'm just going to be frank with you and hope you trust my judgement "

Tigh sat up straight " Even if I don't believe you Bill you know I will always follow your lead "

Adama nodded " First off Saul you have to keep this to yourself, you especially can't tell Roslin or your wife " Adama waited until Saul nodded before continuing " Roslin believes that Pythia will lead us to Earth, but we know that Aurora's chosen one is here among the fleet to lead us to Earth or some other habitable planet "

Colonel Tigh looked at the people in the room " Do all of you really believe that the chosen one is here ?" Tigh paused " Last time I checked Bill neither you or your son believed in the gods and Boomer aren't you supposed to believe in one god ? "

Boomer answered first " The cylons do believe in the one god Colonel, well most of them do anyway and until I died then woke up on a base star I believed in the gods " Boomer paused " While we were on Caprica we discovered who Aurora had chosen, she showed herself to Athena and me and asked us to protect the chosen one and we would earn our passage to whatever planet the chosen one found "

Colonel Tigh was shocked trying to understand it all, he looked at Adama when he spoke " Your right about Lee and I not believing, but things have changed, I'm still not sure how much I believe in the gods, but I have no doubt about believing in the chosen one "

Tigh looked at Lee and he knew of only one person that Adama and Lee would believe in above all else " The chosen one is Starbuck, isn't it?"

Adama chuckled relieved that Tigh had figured it out on his own " Yes she is and very few people know about it, Kara has also made allies with some of the cylons which is why Boomer has been given access to the CIC "

Tigh nodded looking at Boomer " So I'm guessing you are in contact with someone on the base star which has allowed us to know what they are up to, right?"

Lee finally spoke up " Yes Kara has a mole called Caprica who relays information through Boomer and it allows us to make certain decisions about things "

Tigh nodded again " Anything else I should know?"

Adama stood up " Kara has believed her dad was dead since she was about eight years old, but we found out he is alive here in the fleet and I am heading to life station to meet him now and you absolutely cannot tell anyone about him "

Tigh was curious " Why would he let her believe that for all these years?"

Lee answered, so he could also remind his dad about the reason he left her " He had no choice but to leave her to protect her, somehow the religious sects found out Aurora's Chosen One was living in or around Caprica and they started searching for the one Aurora had chosen "

Adama spoke once more before leaving " I will try to explain more about it later, but for now if Boomer tells you to do something and I'm not around just follow her lead " Adama looked at Boomer " Keep me up to date on Caprica's progress and Cavil's and we need to make sure the cylons don't capture Starbuck that is our first priority "

Lee stood up and looked at his dad " We need to go so Adam can get back to Cloud Nine "

Adama nodded and walked out behind Lee.

Colonel Tigh got up next " I guess we had better get back to the CIC " Tigh paused " Now that I know just let me know if you need to leave the CIC or if you need anything else I can help you with "

Boomer smiled " You knowing about it, is going to make things easier for me in the CIC "

[BREAK]**************************************************************************************************************

Racetrack and Adam had sat and talked with Mark about different things while they waited on Lee to show up.

Mark looked at Adam " How is Kara supposed to find a way to earth or any planet? "

Adam frowned " The oracle said there would be signs that only Kara would recognize, but I am certain that Aurora won't allow her to see them until the issues with the cylons are taken care of "

Mark nodded " Makes sense, we don't need to go there with the cylons still trying to kill us, that would just defeat the purpose "

Racetrack looked at Adam " Where and when is the priestess Eloshi supposed to have her meeting?"

Adam glanced at Mark " I offered her the use of the restaurant, but she said with Roslin close to announcing Mark as her vice-president she thought it best not to use it "

Mark asked " So what did she decide on using?"

Adam smiled slightly " The ballroom where the colonial day dance was used "

Racetrack replied " That's the where, so when is she holding it?"

Adam frowned " Eloshi would like to do it soon except she thinks it would be wise to wait until Roslin formally announces Mark as her VP "

Mark really didn't want to do this, but he knew Kara would need all the help she could get " Roslin said she would let me know tomorrow or later today and if she does decide she wants me I will try to get her to do it as quickly as possible "

Racetrack shook her head " I don't understand why she wouldn't at least accept the possibility of Aurora since she believes in Pythia "

Adam sighed " I think it has more to do with her thinking she is the dying leader that Pythia wrote about and she is not willing to back off like Aurora suggested "

Mark noticed Adam seemed quieter than usual " Have you seen Kara lately?"

Adam shook his head " No not really, I was hoping to have a chance to talk with her while I am here "

Mark grinned " I told Lee to let her know you would be with me after meeting the commander if she wanted to see you, I think she will show up "

Adam got up when Cottle came in " Adam, Lee and the commander are on their way and I need to take you to my office before they arrive "

[BREAK]************************************************************************************

Natalie had come over from the base star she was in control of for the meeting with the main Simon model.

Caprica had answered most of Simon's questions about what Cavil was up to and about him boxing the twos.

When Natalie walked in Simon became suspicious " Why are you here Natalie?"

Natalie waited until she reached them " We will tell you after Eliza gets here "

Simon was confused " Who is Eliza?"

Caprica answered " She is an eight model that has decided to join us, so we now call her Eliza "

Simon started pacing " What is going on here Natalie, something tells me Cavil doesn't know about this?"

Eliza walked in and heard the question " You're right he doesn't and you have a decision to make "

Simon looked at all three of them " What decision is that?"

Caprica answered him " As you know there are seven models, well six now that Cavil has boxed all the two's except for the one who wants Kara Thrace "

Natalie picked it up from there " We have reason to believe Cavil has lied to us, there is no cylon god and we think he is trying to set himself up as our god "

Simon's face showed shock " You are lying, Cavil would never do that "

Eliza spoke up " That is what I believed also until I was proven otherwise "

Caprica brought the main topic up " The sixes and eights are going against Cavil and anyone that sides with him but, someone told us to trust you would do the right thing "

That had Simon interested " Who told you this?"

Caprica chuckled " Aurora's chosen one and we have vowed to Aurora to protect the chosen one "

Simon laughed " You three all of a sudden believe in the colonials gods?"

Caprica crossed her arms " Yes, I spoke to Aurora myself and she said whoever tried to harm the one she chose would die permanently "

Natalie spoke up loudly " We are running out of time and you need to decide now and if you join us you will be allowed to live on the planet the chosen one chooses, but only without resurrection "

Simon didn't know what to believe " If I side with you we will have to go to war against Cavil, Doral and Deanna, but if I side with Cavil it will mean the sixes and eights will be out numbered "

Caprica nodded " It doesn't really matter what you do we are still going to kill you, or you could choose to live by siding with us and the fleet is going to help us "

Simon thought about it " Okay I'm with you, but Cavil will fight dirty, I just hope the fleet didn't lie to you "

Natalie smiled " Don't worry they didn't and we are ready to deal Cavil a heavy blow, just make sure your brothers are kept safe and in line "

Eliza groaned " Can we get started now before Cavil finds the fleet?"

Caprica nodded " Yes, but first I want to divide our three models evenly on the two base stars, Simon you will go with Natalie and Eliza I want you here with me " Caprica paused " We leave for Kobol as soon as we are all split up between the base stars "

As soon as Simon left Caprica contacted Boomer " Simon is with us, we will go after Cavil and I am sending you the coordinates for the Hub, all I ask is you wait for me to tell you it is safe to blow it up "

Boomer agreed " Caprica the fleet needs tylium if we are going after the HUB are there any that isn't heavily guarded?"

Caprica provided those coordinates also.

[BREAK]************************************************************************************

Leobon was beyond pissed he knew he had been set up and Cavil would box him without question.

As soon as he resurrected he took a heavy raider hoping to find Kara and take him away with him.

He had already jumped to Kobol only to find the fleet had left.

After jumping several times he knew he would need to find a tylium planet soon and prayed no one was there.

After scouting several places he knew they were guarded to well, for now he would have to return to Kobol until he could figure out where to try next.

Leobon could turn himself and Kara over to Cavil hoping it would get him back in Cavil's good graces.

Leobon knew he would have to connect to find a safe place to get tylium, he just hoped he got away before they found him.

Leobon left as soon as he had the coordinates.

[BREAK]*************************************************************************************

Boomer knew the commander was busy, so she told Colonel Tigh what Caprica had said.

Tigh knew he needed to make a decision " Have the chief prep a raptor for Racetrack and have her check it out before I tell the commander "

Boomer nodded and left to tell Racetrack in person, the less people knew the better it would be.

If they got lucky she knew they would be jumping there soon.
