Note: *ALL PILOTS IN THE READY ROOM:
Please use the thread "36J- Pilots in the ready room"!
I thought it would be clearer to separate us from the battle thread at this point...
I hope I did the right thing.

Sheba thought about the questions Cpt. Skyler had posed. It did seem sort of ridiculous, taking on an entire base ship, but...
"Captain, those are good questions. Some that I've had too. But right now, that's the word from Commander Apollo. I'm sure in time he will address us as to his reasons. But in the meantime, I need something to go on just in case he needs us. Let's hope that it doesnt come to this, but..." her voice trailed off and she lifted her eyebrow.
It was clear that even Sheba had doubts about Apollo's plans...

(RPG note: Please check the section- "Callisto RPG Questions" to be involved in directing the next part of our RPG! Add ideas and plotlines to the story about taking the Cylon baseship. What do you want to see in the RPG with this storyline? Now's your chance!)

Skyler nodded and looked Sheba in the eye.
"I have learned to trust Commander Apollo's plans over the yarhen. No matter how crazy they sound. I am sure he has a good reason, and thats enough for me. Sheba, we will have something for you to run with ASAP that will accomplish the mission with the least casualities." Skyler still didn't like the idea. He didn't mind risking his own neck. A little one on one with the tin cans even sounded like fun. They were with out power, so thier sensors were down, external and internal. Thier communications networks should also be down. If the information that the scans showed was accurate, the bucket heads wouldn't even see it coming.
"Ma'am, I am going to pull up the technical data supplied to us by Baltar several yarhen ago and get with Capt Hector and a few others and start hammering a plan out."
Sheba nodded and Skyler left the room. Even with his doubts, she knew he would perform his duties and give it 110%....

"Commander, all ships reporting in that they are nearing the planet and are in the vicinity," Lt. Aegina reported, "all except the Rising Star. For some reason, it's lagging behind the fleet."
Sheba wondered what that meant, most of Black squadron would be temporarily assigned there and the thought that the squadron was not getting any nearer the Callisto bothered her. "Send a message to Cpt. Garshon of the Rising Star requesting information. Ask them if they need any help. Although right now we can't spare any. Let them know that Black squadron is at their disposal if necessary."
"Yes, ma'am."
Sheba still had not heard back from Apollo and this waiting game was not getting any easier.
"Commander? We are getting several messages from some of the ships that they are running dangerously low on fuel. Ma'am, two ships say that within the centar, they will be out."
"Frack!" Sheba muttered under her breath.

Major BatGal, the Callisto's Senior Flight Officer, was checking squadron status when she heard Sheba's comment about Black Squadron. She rechecked the assignment board, then said, "Commander, there are only eight Vipers assigned to the Rising Star due to its landing bay size and the need to keep it open for fleet shuttlecraft. Lucian's group was also assigned to land there when they returned, but the other Black Squadron Warriors should be able to rejoin us as soon as the rest of the Fleet closes on us...." Her voice trailed off, hoping that the rescue had been successful and that they'd brought their friend JustinB home.

Vera, Ike's pet name for his Viper, had the signs of being a little scorched, but no hits. In joking with his flight tech, he said that if anything needed attention it was his controls as he was doing some serious white-knuckle flying out there for some time. His ship had yet to fail him and its redundant systems always were standing by or giving extra power. He was unsure of his kill ratio on this one, as he lost track due to the fast pace that Gold Squadron had kept throughout the engagement.
He immediately hit the showers and refreshed himself. Entering the ready room, he saw his friends, his family, and saluted them... just before sitting, kicking back, and falling out. He was spent.

Meanwhile, onboard the Galactica:
A slender man dressed in gleaming white robes and a white headwrap stood up in the Council chambers to address the Council of the 12, "I demand to know why we have not destroyed the Cylon baseship! This is astounding! What is Commander Apollo doing?" he cried vehemently.
President Tigh sat in his chair looking over the group carefully. It was the same old story he has seen many times before. "I'm sure Commander Apollo is considering all our options. But, if it makes you feel any better, I will contact him again to find out."
Muttering filled the room as the council members spoke among themselves. Only President Tigh had any former military experience and the rest served their constituencies from around the fleet.
Tigh wondered how much longer he could stall them...

Skyler entered his clearence code into the data system and made his request for all information on the Basestars, including the hand drawn sketches from the time Starbuck and Apollo were on one. The Tech on duty informed Skyler to come back in a half centar and everything would be ready.
Skyler turned and headed for the flight deck...... No, first thing first.... Stopping at a computer terminal
Major Brie,
First and most importantly... HAPPY NOVAYARHEN!!! Thought I would forget with everything going on didn't you. ;-)
I sent the status reports from the battle to you by a runner earlier. I had to report to the bridge or I would have stopped them by myself. Have a mission to plan. Can't give details on an unsecured server, but I will fill you in ASAP, I promise. Heading down now to check the status of the Vipers, Gold in in the ready room resting and waiting for the next call. You take care and I want you to know how much I miss you....... I mean, the entire Squadron misses you, with us.... gotta go...
Skyler
Skyler sent to hastily typed message. He had promised to keep Brie in the loop, but timing didn't allow him to do too much. Checking his chrono, he made his way to the flight deck....

The message came in to Apollo's quarters. He picked up the hand device. "What is it, Tigh?" he asked.
"Apollo. It's starting. You have to do something."
Apollo breathed heavily letting out a sigh. "Alright. They want something done. Then it's going to get done."
He hung up.
Apollo quickly put in a communique to Sheba...
