Part 69 Better part of Valor
The Cylons might be machines but they were not totally stupid. The sudden appearance of so many human ships was impossible to fight. The lead Il called the others and just as quickly as the battle had been engaged it ended. The Cylons had fled deciding running away was the better part of valor.
Athena was cursing loudly that the base ships had escaped. They were clearly singed but avenging her mother would have to wait.
Aries this is ridiculous. We had them. I am so going to strangle my sister.
Beloved calm down you bagged that destroyer.
That silent comment got him a glare. He sighed as he answered the hail form Commander Xenia.
"We are in one peace ,Rycon. We got a piece of that ship, but she bolted when you all jumped in" The last said with exasperation.
"Sorry about that. However we did not think you would like three base ships jumping in on your back." Xenia said "I know you and Athena are good but, hey she is still my sister. Besides she is all that stands between me and the council so I have to keep her in one piece. No way I want that job."
"Very funny commander." Aries replied. He pulled Athena over to talk to her younger sibling.
"Athena sorry to party crash but there is some bad news."
"Great, well let's hear it Xenia. I want to go after that base ship."
She said clearly annoyed.
"Are you sure Adama raised you and not Cain?" Xenia teased. There was clear humor in her eyes as she noted her elder siblings glare.
"Ha , ha but I promised that ship for mother..."
Xenia nodded understanding "Sorry about that. Come over will you. We need to talk and this line is not secure." Xenia had orders from Adama to fill her sister in one on one. Some things could not be risked getting out. Sometimes it was wiser to hold ones cards close.
