Chapter 106
Fifteen Weeks After Joining the Fleet
"We've got trouble onboard Galactica," Harry informed Kara.
The two were laying entwined on his bed within Haven after a fantastic shag.
"What is it?" Kara asked in a tone that said she did not want to be interrupted.
"The alert fighters are being scrambled," Harry said as he stood and pulled Kara to her feet. It was all Harry could do not to say the hell with it and put Kara back into that bed when he got a good look at her naked form. "An unidentified craft the size of a base-star just jumped into range."
Kara hastily scrambled to put on her clothes while Harry hit them both with a cleaning charm. When they were both dressed he apparated Kara directly to her viper. She kept a flight suit in her viper just for such an occasion. Harry helped her dress.
"Wish me luck," Kara said as she climbed up the ladder into her viper.
Harry kissed her quickly and watched her take off. He decided to observe events directly from Galactica's CIC. Harry was invisible as he apparated into the CIC.
"Sit rep," Bill commanded as he walked into the CIC with Laura behind him.
"New Dradis contacts. They are launching raiders," Gaeta reported.
"How long until we jump?" Laura asked.
"Another two minutes," Saul answered.
"Sir," Gaeta said with an uncertain tone. "I'm getting Colonial transponders."
"Now these toasters are using our own signals against us," Saul said.
"Maybe," Bill said with a curious tone. "Weapons hold," He ordered. "Hold the jump too."
"Something up your sleeve I take it?" Laura asked.
"All ships, Galactica. Hold jump," Dualla sent out over the coms. "Say again, hold jump."
Bill turned to Dualla and said, "Ship-to-ship. Colonial Priority One Channel. Send hostile challenge and ID. And put the reply up on the speakers."
"Attention unknown vessel this is the Battlestar Galactica," Dualla said. "Identify yourself or we will fire upon you."
"Range now 1700 Sir," Gaeta announced.
A haze voice suddenly came over the speakers saying, "This is the Battlestar Pegasus to the ship claiming to be the Galactica. Please respond."
"Pegasus," Saul said. "How can that be…the entire fleet was destroyed."
"Give me direct contact," Bill ordered Dualla as he picked up a communicator. "Pegasus, this is Galactica Actual. Authenticate identity with recognition codes immediately."
"Sir," Dualla said. "I'm receiving authentic Colonial recognition codes."
"Galactica, this is Pegasus Actual," Admiral Helena Cain said over the coms. "Adama is that you?"
"Admiral Cain," Bill replied with recognition. "What a pleasure to hear your voice. Disengage," She ordered her people. Then back into the coms she said, "Commander, I don't know what to say. This is a miracle."
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Bill said. To Dualla he added, "Step down to condition one throughout the fleet."
"Galactica, Apollo. You aren't going to believe what I am looking at out here," Apollo said over the coms. "It's like a dream," He said before chuckling.
Harry had deployed a number of sensor drones from his ship. Each sensor drone was capable of taking multiple types of arcane and technology-based scans. The drones could jump several kilometers using a built-in portkey-drive. Harry was working on creating a sling-shot which could sling the drones light-years across spacetime. Harry sent several of those drones out to view Pegasus and beheld the advanced Battlestar. Harry simply had to close his eyes and focus on the neural projection similar to thoughts gleaned from Legilimency to see what the drones were seeing.
"It is a dream," Bill said.

Galactica's Hangar Deck
Harry was among those in attendance when Admiral Cain's raptor touched down in Galactica's hangar.
"Get into ranks people. Look sharp," Tigh barked as the raptor taxied into position.
Harry stood near President Roslin and Gaius as everyone assembled. Roslin had taken a liking to Harry and was very friendly since the adventure in the Tomb of Athena. Tigh called the Galactica crew to attention as the raptor door opened. A group of marines came out of the raptor first and assembled themselves facing Galactica's crew. Then an older officer followed and stepped down onto the deck. Finally Admiral Helena Cain came out of the raptor.
"Pretty good looking," Harry mused to himself as he looked over the admiral.
Helena stepped off the raptor's wing and came to stand in front of Bill. Bill saluted first and Helena returned the salute.
"Admiral Cain, welcome onboard the Galactica," Bill said.
"Commander Adama," Helena said with a small smile threatening to break out as she took his hand and grasped it. "It's an honor."
"Allow me to present to you the President of the Colonies Laura Roslin," Bill said while nodding to Laura.
Helena looked at Laura with surprise.
Laura smiled warmly and said, "It's a long story. Welcome."
The two women shook hands.
"Madam President," Helena said. "Pleasure." Helena then turned her attention to the assembled ranks. "On behalf of the officers and the crew of the Pegasus it is a pleasure to see all of you. Welcome back to the Colonial fleet."
The assembled crew began cheering and clapping. Helena and Bill shook hands again before Laura and Helena exchanged hugs. The two crews began exchanging greetings. There was a mood of celebration as the admiral went with Laura and Bill to talk in private. Naturally Harry decided to listen in.

Galactica, Captain's Briefing Room
"Admiral, I'm fairly burning with questions. I hope you don't mind if I just dive in," Laura said.
"Please," Helena answered.
"How did you find us?" Laura asked.
"Well we were tracking a cylon fleet," Helena explained. "We were trying to predict movements which seemed rather random initially. Eventually we realized they were just jumping to systems with natural resources. So we began to scout those systems ourselves. Our goal was to carry out hit-and-run attacks on their fleet. But instead of finding the cylons we found you."
"So you've been attacking their fleet?" Bill clarified.
"Well you know what they say about the best defense," Helena replied.
Bill nodded agreement.
"How is it you were able to avoid the initial cylon attack on the Colonies?" Laura asked.
"I'll have another if you don't mind," Helena said while holding out her empty glass. After Bill poured her another drink and Helena took a few swallows she said, "We were docking at Scorpion fleet shipyard. We were getting ready to go in for a 3-month overhaul. Most of the crew was getting ready for extended shore leave, family reunions. My XO had the deck. I was down in my quarters wrapping up some paperwork. I was getting ready to pack up and head home to Toran. That was when the cylons attacked. They hit the shipyard with three…maybe four nukes. Five ships…two of them battlestars…were destroyed right there. By the time I got back to CIC I discovered that I had lost over 700 personnel."
"My gods," Laura said.
"We were completely defenseless with a nuke heading right for us. So I did the only thing I could think of. I ordered a jump with no navigation," Helena explained.
"You would likely have died anyway from the next nuke if your defenses were that low," Bill said. "But judging from the fact you are here it was the right call."
"Yes. Well I imagine you have quite the story to tell yourself. But I won't make you go through it right this minute," Helena said as she stood up. "You can send over your logs when you get the chance," She told Bill as he stood with her.
"Yes Sir," Bill said.
Helena glanced away from Bill towards Laura who had a rather unnerved expression as she looked between Helena and Bill.
"Something wrong?" Helena asked.
"No. I sometimes forget about the rules of military protocol," Laura explained.
"Admiral Cain is my superior officer," Bill said. "She will take complete command of the entire fleet."
"I was wondering how to broach that topic," Helena admitted. She glanced from Bill to Laura and said, "Trust me when I say that though the chain of command is strict it is not heartless. And neither am I. This is your ship," She said while looking back to Bill. "And I have no desire to interfere with Galactica's internal affairs."
"I appreciate that Admiral," Bill said.
"Madam President, you look like I just shot your dog," Helena noted.
"No…no it's just the Commander and I…we've been through a lot," Laura said.
Just then there was a knock on the door before it was opened.
"Excuse me, Madam President," Billie said as he stepped into the room.
Laura stood and walked around Bill and Helena.
"If you'll both excuse me," Laura said. "Admiral, I can't tell you how grateful we are to have you here." The two women shook hands. "Thank you for finding us."
"Madam President," Bill said with a nod as Laura glanced his way.
Laura then left the room with Billie following. Helena waited until the two were gone before looking back at Bill with a perplexed look.
"The Secretary of Education?" Helena said questioningly.
"She has come a long way from those days," Bill said.
Helena nodded thoughtfully before saying, "I'm sure."
Helena then walked to the door.
"Admiral Cain," Bill said which caused her to turn back and wait for him to continue. "We have two cylon prisoners onboard Galactica."
"Really," Helena said. "We have one on ours as well."
"Ours have proven to be excellent sources of intelligence," Bill added. "Both have been very cooperative. One of them we call Galactica-Sharon actually served on this ship for years as a sleeper agent before hidden programming woke up. We have a local inventor Harry Potter who has proven to be quite the genius. Dr. Gaius Baltar is the Vice President. Both Gaius and Harry have been working with Galactica-Sharon to try to determine how to make sure none of the hidden programming can reemerge and ascertain her loyalty. Harry has also made some upgrades to our smaller ships which have cut down on casualties drastically. In fact we haven't had a raptor or viper pilot death since his upgrades have been installed. And we've had raptors and vipers completely destroyed."
"Really…I would definitely like to hear more about this Harry and his inventions," Helena said. "What of the second cylon?"
"We call her Caprica-Sharon because that is where several of my pilots encountered her and brought her back from. She hasn't been around very long," Bill admitted. "We are still working on figuring her out."
Helena nodded and said, "Interesting. I just want you to know that it gives me no pleasure to have to take command, Bill."
"Don't give it a moment's thought Admiral," Bill said. "One last thing…we have encountered an entity who goes by the name LoK. He isn't cylon and he isn't human. I'm giving you a heads up. If you meet him you will know. I don't want to say anymore because you won't believe me if I told you. You have to experience him for yourself."
Helena nodded in understanding and took that in stride with a thoughtful look. She nodded once more in farewell before turning and leaving the room.

Hangar Deck
"Is this a score card?" Kara asked while pointing towards the Pegasus viper she stood next to.
Kara was referring to the markings on the viper of Lt. Noel 'Narcho' Alison.
Narcho stood talking to Racetrack.
"Like you don't keep score," Maggie said.
Harry happened to have walked into the hangar deck just as Kara asked her question. Over the past few weeks he had gotten to know a lot of the hangar deck personnel and pilots better. He had helped Chief Tyrol design and implement the construction of a stealth fighter named the Phoenix. Maggie was one of those people Harry had gotten to know a little better. Given how attractive she was he wouldn't mind getting to know her even better.
"You don't see me painting them on the side like I'm bragging to the whole frackin universe," Kara told Maggie.
"That's 48 kills right there," Narcho said while pointing towards the small painted symbols of cylon raiders.
"Special," Kara said in a mocking tone. "Do you have caps and t-shirts too?"
Lee snickered at Kara's response. Helo openly chuckled.
"Where's the Galactica CAG?" Captain Cole 'Stinger' Taylor asked with no trace of amusement in his tone as he walked up then.
"Right here," Lee said while the chuckle he had been in the middle of died to a smile which quickly faded.
"Let's get a rundown on this squadron Captain," Taylor stated while turning and walking away from the group.
Lee began to walk away with Taylor.
"I'd like to be able to listen in on that conversation," Kara sent to her boyfriend.
"I can arrange that," Harry replied while casting a sensory charm which let him hear what Taylor and Lee were saying.
Harry telepathically relayed the charm's results to Kara.
"I see you don't keep track of your kills," Taylor said. "You should start. It encourages morale and gets competition going."
"Well that's one philosophy," Lee said.
"It's Admiral Cain's philosophy," Taylor said. "That means it's your philosophy now Captain."
"The name of my commander is Adama," Lee said. "It should be pretty easy to remember because it's my name."
"Yeah…I'll keep that in mind daddy's boy," Taylor rebutted.
"Shit…he didn't just say that," Kara thought while imaging Lee's reaction.
"Let's see your ordinance list," Taylor said while walking away.

"Thank you for seeing me," Helena said as Harry walked into her office and held out her hand.
"No problem Admiral," Harry said as he shook her hand.
"I wanted to shake the hand of the man who invented such a wonderful system as your ejection modules. All of my pilots are overjoyed as well," Helena said while gesturing for Harry to have a seat.
"Just doing my part to help the war effort," Harry said.
"I hear you are doing a lot to help the war effort," Helena noted. "I've been reviewing Commander Adama's logs. They make for quite the interesting read…especially in regards to your abilities."
"You want to know if your Commander is crazy or not," Harry said.
"A man who gets right to the point. I like that," Helena said.
Harry formed a shield around himself. Helena reached over and touched it. Her eyes stared at the shield in fascination as she felt it solid to her touch.
"Does that satisfy you?" Helena asked as he let the shield drop.
"It intrigues me," Helena admitted.
Harry talked with Helena for quite some time and answered her questions as much as he could without lying. While he was in her office he took the opportunity to make a copy of her logs. Turnabout was fair play after all. Plus Harry didn't fully trust that Helena was all she seemed to be. He was a fairly good judge of character.

Galactica, Commander Adama's Quarters
"We should ask Cain for her logs…just so we can put her in context," Tigh said.
"If only it worked that way," Bill mused.
And suddenly there was a set of log books sitting on the desk. Tigh leapt back from the table.
"Where the frack did that come from?" Tigh demanded.
Bill came over and flipped open the books.
"These are Admiral Cain's logs," Bill said with surprise. "I wouldn't be surprised if this is the work of LoK."
"He's listening to our every conversation?" Tigh asked with surprise.
"Well…if he's a Lord of Kobol that would make him a god," Bill pointed out.
Tigh shook with a start as if he had just suddenly remembered that little fact.
"I do believe we have some reading to do," Tigh said as he sat down almost eagerly next to Bill.
"I've never imagined you the eager reader type," Bill said with amusement.
"We need to know this woman we are putting our fate in the hands of," Tigh replied.
"I think LoK agrees with you," Bill pointed out as he also sat down next to his XO and they started reading.

Pegasus, Captain's Briefing Room
"Captain, after having read your logs it appears you have been through quite an ordeal," Helena said.
"We've had our moments," Bill said simply.
"Well, you did yourselves proud," Helena complimented.
"Thank you Admiral," Bill replied while waiting for her to get past the flattery.
"As I told you we were tracking a cylon fleet. When we talked I thought that cylon fleet was your fleet. But further analysis has revealed that there really is a separate cylon fleet that has been following your fleet. I have sent in recon patrols but none have ever gotten close enough to get more than just these hazy shots," Helena explained as she showed him some pictures. "As you can see…there are two base-ships, a dozen or so support ships, and this large vessel we still can't identify. I believe this large unidentified ship is key. Is it some kind of command and control ship or something else?"
"Perhaps a raider manufacturing ship," Bill suggested.
"It could be. Whatever type of ship it is…the cylons are protecting it quite vigorously," Helena explained.
"Seems like a good target to me," Bill said.
"That's what I was hoping you would say," Helena said.
"Apollo can coordinate with your CAG," Bill said.
"About that," Helena began. "My goal is to integrate the crews starting with assigning Captain Adama to the Pegasus air wing." Bill's gaze focused sharply on her at this. "I can tell by your expression you aren't keen on that idea. Let's get right to it. Having your son as your CAG seems to have proven a grave mistake from your logs. In your own logs you say he is insubordinate, even mutinous. Also in your logs you site a Kara Thrace who habitually strikes fellow officers and disobeys orders. A Lieutenant has fraternized with an even impregnated an enemy agent. I don't even want to discuss your XO."
"The gall of this woman who executed her own XO," Bill thought. "She probably intends to do the same to me if I disobey."
"There is a complete list of the transfers," Helena said while pointing to a sheet of paper on the table before her.
"You said you had no intention of interfering with my command," Bill pointed out.
"I'm saving your command, Bill," Helena replied. "You are too close to these officers and it is blinding you to what they are doing to unit cohesion and morale."
"I see," Bill said, feeling no need to saying anything further. "Understood Admiral."
"Dismissed," Helena said.
Bill left Helena's ship taking note of the marines.

Bill's Quarters
"Gods know I've never been a big believer and one for prayer," Bill said aloud to the empty room. "This woman…she could be the end of our fleet if she proves to be as crazy as she has shown herself to be. What do I do? Do I do what she wants and transfer Kara and Lee to Pegasus? Cain could just use them as hostages against my good behavior."
"But it is questionable who would win in an outright conflict. Likely neither side would win and both would lose," LoK's voice said right into Bill's head.
Bill jumped in surprise at the sudden foreign voice directly into my mind. Bill forced himself to remain calm.
"So I'm between a rock and a diamond," Bill said. "I could play along until the chance to assassinate her comes up. But doing that likely won't win me any points with her crew. Likewise I could sneak a bomb onboard Pegasus. But that would destroy a valuable resource."
"If Admiral Cain uses Kara Thrace and Lee Adama as hostages they will be returned to Galactica unharmed immediately," LoK promised.
"Thank you," Bill said. "That makes the decision slightly easier." There was no response from LoK and Bill felt like LoK's presence was gone for some reason. "LoK?" Bill tried with a questioning tone. "Well I guess that conversation is over," Bill thought to himself.
But at least he had gotten some of what he wanted. Kara and Lee would be ok.

Haven
"I don't understand why the old man is going along with Cain with this transfer," Kara vented to her boyfriend.
"Think about it Kara. If he gets into a fight with the Admiral and she attacks nobody wins," Harry explained.
"She wouldn't attack," Kara said.
"She executed her XO for disobeying an order. Lee is going to be Cain's hostage against Bill's good behavior," Harry pointed out.
"All the more reason for Lee not to be allowed to go over to this nut job," Kara said. "Me too."
"Except LoK just promised Bill that he would get you and Lee safely back to Galactica if Cain tried the hostage bullshit," Harry explained.
"Huh…this makes more sense now," Kara admitted. "What else has this Cain done?"
"There's a copy of her logs right there on that table," Harry said while pointing towards an end table next to a couch.
Kara sat down and began reading.

Grace's Quarters
Grace looked up as her door opened. She expected it to be one of her guards. They were the only ones who entered her quarters these days without knocking and even that was rare. Since her help on Kobol she had earned a set of quarters onboard Galactica. She was still guarded but she had at least gone a step in the right direction.
"Who are you?" Grace demanded of the Lieutenant that entered her quarters followed by several marines.
None of these people were from Galactica. Lt. Thorne was from Pegasus and had acted as the interrogator for the cylon Thorne held captive. In truth Thorne was more of a sadistic torturer. Thorne didn't even respond verbally. Instead he reached for her throat trying to put her in a choke hold. Grace neatly pushed Thorne's arm aside and delivered a quick jab to Thorne's mouth. Thorne staggered back for a moment but quickly regained himself.
"You've got spunk," Thorne said with a cruel smile. "I'll enjoy working that out of you. Hold her," Thorne ordered Privates Topman and Bosher.
The two privates moved to grab Grace but she easily countered their grabs and tossed them across the cell. She quickly stepped forward and delivered a kick to Thorne's groin that saw him drop to the ground. More marines came pouring into the room and Grace couldn't possibly evade them all without revealing more of her true power.
"Let me go," Grace cried out as multiple marines held her.
"Shut up," Thorne said as he struck Grace across the mouth. "Hold the bitch down on the bed," Thorne said while starting to undo his belt.
Just then Helo and Chief Tyrol came racing into the room followed moments later by Harry. The fighting that broke out was brutal. Harry held back the bulk of the men. Harry wasn't sure which of the men was the one to deal the killing blow to Thorne but whichever it was Thorne ended up dead on the floor. Thorne had hit his head on the way from being pulled away from Grace.
"Put your hands up," Private Jennifer shouted as he pointed a gun at Tyrol and Helo.
The gun shook as Jenner beheld the energy shield holding back his comrades from engaging any further in the fight.
"Do you see this shield Private?" Harry asked. "I can make this form between your head and your body."
The gun shook even more at that statement. Helo reached out and pulled the gun away from Jenner with very little resistance. Jenner put his hands up.
"What now?" Grace asked.
"Now I think we return these gentlemen to their ship," Harry said with a sneer at calling these thugs gentlemen.

Galactica CIC and Pegasus CIC
"I want these murderers turned over for trial," Helena demanded.
"As far as I see it Admiral there was no murder. Just a couple of soldiers putting down a rabid dog," Bill said to cut through the bullshit.
"How dare you," Helena hissed. "You are making a big mistake." To her XO Helena ordered, "Launch the alert vipers. Get me a few teams in raptors. We're taking those murderers prisoner."
Kendra Shaw, Cain's XO, looked uncertain. If the last team had been so ineffective against Harry Potter as all reports indicated she doubted more teams would be anymore effective. But Kendra had observed what had happened to the last XO to disobey an order. That XO had ended up dead at Cain's hand.
"Yes Sir," Kendra said before issuing the orders.
"This is going to escalate fast," Fisk noted.
"I have been left with no choice," Helena replied.
Both ships launched their alert vipers. Harry watched the events unfold from the observation room he had created onboard Haven. The two groups of alert vipers were moving towards one another preparing to start killing one another. To Harry this situation was unacceptable. Here the humans were down to around 50,000 in number and they were still killing one another. Harry took on his LoK disguise and apparated to the Pegasus.

Pegasus CIC
When Harry appeared on the bridge he negligently flicked a hand at the security guards as they went for their weapons to show how little they bothered him. Helena looked at him like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.
"Call off your vipers now," Harry ordered in a tone that sent a chill down Helena's spine.
"No," Helena said defiantly. "I don't answer to you."
Harry closed the distance between them. She moved to strike him but he was faster. Harry got inside her guard and came around behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and channeled a paralysis charm he knew while focusing on only allowing it to affect her from the neck down. She was unable to move and unable to even head-butt him. Harry pulled her against him.
"I said call off your vipers," Harry growled right into her ear.
Despite the situation Helena could feel him intimately pressed against her. She even felt him stiffen against her rump. Helena typically preferred women but had been with the occasional man from time to time. Helena was definitely feeling some strange desires right then for her.
"No," Helena said defiantly but with less heat than before.
Nobody else could see her, not even Harry, but Grace was standing nearby in the CIC watching these events. Just as Harry made his next statement Grace reached out her right hand towards Helena and a spark of power channeled from Grace's divine husband jumped from Grace's fingertips into Helena.
"If you don't call back your vipers I'm going to do to you right here what your dog Thorne was going to do to Grace," Harry said in a promise-filled tone. This situation Harry found himself in was so fucked up and Harry had found it necessary to do horrible things before in a war. This war was for the very survival of this civilization. Harry noticed Helena climaxing as he said that.
"This woman is pretty twisted if she gets off on that," Harry thought to himself.
"Call back the vipers," Helena told her XO in a whisper while trying to stay at least somewhat composed through the tremors of her orgasm. "Best orgasm ever," Helena thought to herself.
Grace picked up on Helena's practically screamed thought and smirked.
"Stand down vipers. I repeat, stand down vipers and return to Pegasus," Kendra Shaw ordered.
Kendra, Helena's XO, was very attractive as Harry suddenly noticed. Kendra had been feeling ill during Helena's first visit to Galactica so had stayed onboard. Harry released Helena who moved away on unsteady legs and leaned against the CIC table facing Harry.
"You're Potter," Helena accused.
"No," Harry said while lowering his hood. Harry had prepared for this possibility. His appearance slowly shifted between the male Lords of Kobol depicted in Colonial legend. It was an illusion of course but those present in the room couldn't tell the difference. "Harry Potter is my most devout follower. He is my chosen warrior in this realm and can represent me when I'm unavailable."
Helena had never expected to find herself talking to what was most likely a god. She now saw why Adama had warned her of something like this and had said she wouldn't believe him. Rumors about LoK were rampant in the Colonial fleet and her people had picked up on it soon after starting to interact with the civilian fleet. It was Kendra who broke the silence after LoK's explanation.
"What is it you want and why appear after so many eons without interacting?" Kendra asked.
Harry focused his gaze on Kendra and she suddenly found herself having to clutch at the table as an orgasm swept through her just as intense as Helena's. Kendra let out a tiny moan. Grace smirked from nearby.
"What the hell is going on with these women," Harry asked himself. Out loud he answered, "What I want is for you to not destroy each other when your numbers are so low." The Pegasus CIC was still connected with the Galactica CIC. "As for why so long without interaction…I was not around back then. I'm a lot younger," Harry said truthfully. "I will not speak for the others. But from what I gather interacting with mortals constantly can be tedious."
"Then why do it?" Helena questioned.
Harry began slowly walking around the table, very slowly. He walked behind Helena who watched him warily. Then he circled around the table towards Kendra.
"I don't find all forms of interaction with mortals tedious," Harry mused, trying to portray the part of an Ancient Greek god. Harry reached out and squeezed Kendra's butt. She immediately experienced another orgasm and this time her moan was much louder. "Ok…something really strange is going on."
"Too much…he appears to be getting suspicious," Grace told herself as Harry glanced around the room. She felt several magical scans pass over her. "Not going to work," Grace thought to herself.
She was cloaked out-of-phase.
"Do not try to take the cylon Grace or Caprica-Sharon again," Harry warned before he vanished.
Kendra reached back and felt her butt where his hand had been. It felt like he was still holding her butt.
"We have contact," Colonel Fisk reported. "It's a single bogy with no identification. I think it is a cylon raider."
"How did it get in so close without being detected?" Helena demanded.
She had composed herself enough by then though was still feeling residual pleasantness. She just wanted to go soak in a bath.
"I don't know Sir. I assure you it came out of nowhere," Lt. Mei 'Freaker' Firelli said from the dradis console.
"Prepare to engage the enemy. Send the vipers to destroy that thing," Helena ordered.
As the vipers came at her in formation the sound of Kara's voice was transmitted, "Starbuck to all vipers. This is Starbuck. Do not fire. I am a friendly. This is our stealth ship the Phoenix."
Back onboard Pegasus Colonel Fisk said, "Admiral, we are receiving a download." Images up close and detailed of the ship Helena was very curious about began playing across the monitors being transmitted by the Pegasus. "These are coming from Phoenix. Thrace did what our aborted recon mission failed to do."
"She put her nose right up their backsides and they never even knew it. That ship is amazing," Helena said with admiration as the images were scrolled through. Helena turned to Kendra and said, "See if you can arrange a meeting with Adama on neutral ground with no aids. I doubt he'll agree to come here after that little situation."
"Yes Sir," Kendra said.
"Now I see why Adama was so willing to send his people over here," Helena said moreso than to anyone else.
"Sir?" Fisk said curiously, inviting elaboration.
"LoK, Jack," Helena said. "LoK would probably bail Thrace and Adama out of here. Potter is rumored to be in a relationship with Thrace."
Helena found the whole situation unsettling but there wasn't exactly anything she could do about it. These were gods they were dealing with after all.

Colonial One
"Let's start this by admitting an ugly truth. What happened out there today was the result of failure in leadership of everyone in this room," Laura said. "Except Harry of course."
Harry was sitting off to the side of Laura's desk angled so that he could see Laura, Bill, and Helena. It had been Laura that had invited Harry to the meeting but Bill had approved of that idea as well given the revelation that Harry represented LoK.
"We are the leaders of this fleet. As such we need to set an example," Laura continued. "We cannot continue to let the conflicts between us…"
"Oh let's just cut through the hand-holding shall we," Helena interrupted. "Two of his men murdered one of my officers," Helena said while gesturing at Bill. "And he was involved," She added while nodding at Harry.
Harry gestured Bill for silence and produced a small stone bowl etched with runes from his pocket.
"Since I knew what this was about I came prepared," Harry said.
Harry tapped a rune on the side of the shrunken pensieve and immediately the 4 occupants of the room were transported elsewhere. The memory played out showing the near-rape that had taken place with Grace and the resulting scene. But the memory didn't stop there. The scene changed to the Pegasus CIC where Helena shot her XO for disobeying orders. Then the scene shifted again to Thorne being given free reign to rape and torture the model Six cylon in a Pegasus holding cell. Harry didn't actually show the rape scenes but he showed the lead-up and the after-scenes. The scene shifted yet again to a civilian ship Scylla which was stripped and its occupants left to die after a number of those who resisted were shot dead.
When the pensieve scenes ended Harry returned the device to his pocket. Helena looked pale after relieving those scenes.
"How did you…how did you see all that?" Helena questioned.
"LoK sees much," Harry replied.
"So…it looks like we just cut through the blustering and hypocrisy," Laura said.
"I don't see you as fit to order anyone around," Bill told Helena. "I've had my share of frack-ups over the years so I'm not going to judge you. But be happy we let you stay in command of Pegasus."
"I'd like to see you try to take it away from me," Helena said, recovering a small measure of her confidence.
"Oh it wouldn't be me that takes it away from you," Bill said.
"It would be LoK," Harry finished. "Let's move on. The cylon fleet."
"I want it," Helena said. "And I need Galactica's help to get it."
"I'll help," Bill agreed.
"And LoK will be watching as will I," Harry said. Helena nodded before she stood and left. "Bill, Laura, always a pleasure."
The two nodded at Harry in return and Laura smiled at his casual humor before he left as well.

Haven
"Wow…she must think I'm dumb," Kara said after she returned from a meeting with Helena.
Harry had given Kara a portkey which took her to Haven. Harry just took her back to her quarters whenever she wanted to go back.
"She must," Harry agreed.
"I mean…the promotion to Pegasus CAG is an obvious way to get in my good books because she knows I'm sleeping with you," Kara suggested. "And then to say she is onboard with the idea to rescue those held captive on Caprica…just overboard. She wants to play it that way…I can play along."
"You are a superb actress," Harry said teasingly.
"Do I hear you want to role-play," Kara said teasingly as she sat on Harry's lap and wrapped her arms around him.
"Hmm…sounds enticing," Harry mused.
"Yes…well you can be LoK and I can be your devoted follower…," Kara suggested as she brought her mouth slowly towards his ear. "I can worship you," Kara promised.
Harry shivered at the promise in her tone. She knew he was really LoK. She didn't know exactly what he was…but she knew without having to ask that he was LoK. Harry didn't respond verbally but instead turned his mouth and claimed her lips. Things turned carnal from there.

Pegasus
"A CAG's work is never done," Lee said from the doorway into the pilot's briefing room.
Kara looked up from where she had been going over reports on the status of her new airwing.
"Hi…how you doing?" Kara asked.
"Oh…you mean apart from being demoted and finding myself working for one of my pilots. Great," Lee said.
"You realize what this is about right?" Kara questioned.
"About Cain trying to get into your good books because of your connection to Harry," Lee said.
"You caught on too," Kara said.
"Not right away. My father pointed it out," Lee explained.
"Would you help me plan this op? I don't know this roster like you do," Kara requested.
"You want to just keep going like nothing happened?" Lee questioned.
"Partly…Cain will be kept in check by Harry and LoK or she'll be removed. But all this political crap and egos aside…the cylons are still our enemy," Kara said.
"I'm glad you are so confident in them," Lee mused. "But then again you are the one closest to Harry. Alright…let's see what we have here," Lee said as he sat down and began to look over Kara's progress.

Pegasus Holding Cell
Gina barely held back a groan as she felt the first twinges of pain from the merging process with the physical model Six cylon in Pegasus' holding cell. The pain had nothing to do with the merging itself and everything to do with the fact that the cylon had been tortured. Gina backed off mentally but not from the pain. Gina backed off in the merger because the cylon's essence was tortured just as much as the physical and in disarray. It would take Gina days to weeks of slowly merging with the corporeal cylon bit by bit while repairing some of the damage done to the cylon's psyche. Gina vaguely heard the conversation between the Six and Gaius as the Six gave away cylon secrets. Gina was focused on the repair process so didn't pay too much attention.

Pegasus CIC
"The cylon's call this their resurrection ship," Gaius explained as he pointed to one of the photos Helena had given him to ask the Six about. The photo was of the unknown cylon vessel Helena had been so interested in. "At the moment we are too far from the cylon home-world for the consciousness transfer technology to work. They built this ship to act as a mobile receiver for cylon consciousnesses as well as the rest of the machines necessary to clone a cylon and put the downloaded consciousness into a new body."
Kara stood nearby Cain and Kendra listening to this briefing. There was a profound silence in the CIC at this revelation from Gaius. Kara knew that Harry was likely listening in. She hoped he would relay this information to Roslin and Commander Adama if Cain didn't reveal the intel. In any case, if Harry didn't then she would.
"So this ship is a form of a safety net?" Kara clarified.
"Yes," Gaius confirmed.
"If they lose their safety net then any cylon who dies out here would stay dead," Helena surmised.
"Maybe they will stop chasing us. Right now they risk getting killed most likely because they won't stay dead. But if they lose that invulnerability from death then they might not be willing to risk it," Kara suggested.
"I think we now have our highest priority target," Helena stated.

Pegasus War Room
Bill stood in the war room waiting for the briefing to start. He only felt confident coming onboard knowing that Harry would intervene if things turned nasty and if it got worse…LoK. Kara started the meeting off.
"Our primary objective for this assault is this ship which the cylons call Resurrection," Kara said as she pointed to images displayed of the resurrection ship. "It is guarded by two basestars which have been following us through the sector."
"What we want to do is to let them 'happen upon us' appearing to be in the middle of a mining operation," Lee continued.
"When the basestars launch their raiders Galactica and most of the civilian fleet will jump away," Kara said. "But a small group of civilians will remain."
"What this will hopefully look like to the cylons will be civilian ships having trouble with their FTL drives trying to escape at sublight," Lee explained.
"The raiders will be drawn off by the civilian decoys," Helena surmised which earned a nod from Lee and Kara.
"Once the raiders are drawn away Pegasus and Galactic will jump back in and attack. I will use the Phoenix to take out the jump drive on Resurrection," Lee said.
"Before you ask about the stealth ship taking nukes…we determined that the cylons would detect the radiation signatures from nukes before the stealth ship got close," Kara explained.
"Once the Resurrection ship is unable to jump away we can go after it with everything we have," Lee suggested.
"I would like to discuss this with your CAG," Bill said to Helena.
"Suit yourself," Helena said. "I'm satisfied."
Helena and mostly everyone left.

Author's Note 2
If you want to access the erotic versions of any of my stories follow the following instructions:
1) Go to Facebook and join the group Stargatesg1fan1's Fanfiction Works and Favorites (make sure you answer the security question)
2) Go to the Announcements section of the group. You will find a link in one of the posts to a Google drive folder. Inside that folder are copies of all of my stories (the smutty versions).
Note: If you create a new Facebook account it has to be with a legitimate name. I won't add anyone to the group that looks suspicious (it has to be a real person's name). For example, using the name "Lazy Lazy" is not a legitimate name.
I have chosen to move the erotic versions of my story to a less accessible forum which can be more closely controlled. If you cannot accept that then you don't need to be reading my stories. For those who can accept it, enjoy.
Enjoy,
