Positive News and Hope (PG)
Commander Adrianna was not happy with the news. The central computers were a mess. The simple repairs they had anticipated would not be possible. She sighed. It had been to much to hope that only a few repairs would be needed. On the positive side the communications terminals were slowly coming on line. She had sent ordered Keen to send out patrols to try to locate other pockets of humanity. With luck they would soon be able to reconnect communications. Power would be limited at first. Unfortunately the cylons had made a mess of the power grid. Several stations had been completely destroyed. However the designers had set up back up systems that could be restored now that they could work without fear of detection. Central city had a minor power plant that would soon be up and running. It would be sufficient to power several long range scanners. While the defensive grid would take time at least they would have some advanced warning. Titan and his crews were now out scouring the country side for any usable materials. The main forges were up and running. Adrianna was pleased that they had enough spare metals to begin fabricating needed materials. One positive thing with the destruction metal was plentiful. She noted the glee as several forge masters tossed dead centurions into the molten metals.
"Keen coordinate with Dr. Danazoff. I want a head count and a list of who has what skills. We have to start rebuilding. While our we must be prepared to defend ourselves we also need to see about putting in some crops. With everyone coming out we have a lot of people to feed."
"Yes Commander. So far we seem to have a lot of differing skills. Our plantings should be easy enough as there are a lot of farmers. Many of the other civilians offered to help as well. I guess hunger is a great motivator. We got a dozen teams out scavenging and we found some useful thing both colonial and cylons. We found over 16 generators. We should be able to power the anti raider ground grid around a five kiltron area. It is not a lot but it's a start. Fuel is not a problem for the moment as the tin heads left us a lot. We found about 4 ships that we are working on repairing. Fortunately we have plenty of people who can repair them. One is an old gun star and an other a armed freighter. The other two are civilian craft but with the left over cylon weapons we can arm them. At least they could have some defense. We think we can station 4 to 6 vipers in each. Zan found a warehouse with old scarab fighters. They be a good secondary defense. "
"What about pilots for them?" The commander asked. They were a lot different then vipers.
"Well we found the old Xo of the home guard. A Major Trina She wants to take command of them and she says she can round up about 8 or 9 pilots who can fly them. She out with Zan now trying to get them to come in." Keen explained.
"Good then she has command of them. We need to get to the academy. See what we can salvage there."
"Already on it Commander Titan sent a group to check it out. We think we can use one of the energizers to start the scanners and simulators. We can begin training new pilots at once." keen said.
"Good if the cylons return they will be in for a very unhappy time." Adrianna said smiling. "We will rebuild Colonel and we will retake our worlds. When you are done see if Danzaoff had found a way to contact the other colonies."
