Brie
Major Brie was wondering if her breakfast meeting with Major Lucian was still on. She hadn't heard differently, but so much has happened since they had first scheduled it. She had to eat, so she headed to the mess hall, thinking that she would probably see Lucian there. She made a stop, sending the following message to Lieutenant Resonat. "Lieutenant, a new ensign, Eirikhr, has recently joined Gold Squadron. I'd like him to spend some time in the sims ASAP before he's assigned a viper. The harder the session, the better. Let me know when. Thanks. Major Brie."
Meals were nothing to look forward to on the Callisto anymore. All the frills were gone, they were down to the basics. Brie took some food and a cup of very light brown coffee and found a seat in the back. A moment or two later Lucian came in and joined her. "Want to trade?" Brie said before he had sat all the way down.
"Excuse me?" Lucian wondered, not knowing what Brie was talking about.
"I'll give you Amy for, let me see, Kris maybe?" Lucian remained silent, and Brie grinned. "I'm kidding, Major. It's just REALLY hard to have Charybdis' girlfriend or ex-girlfriend or whatever she is these days in my squadron. He's second-guessing every decission I make lately, and it's getting on my nerves. But that's my problem, I guess. That's not what we're here to talk about."
"I met Ensign Eirikhr," Lucian said, broaching the subject.
"What was your first impression?" Brie asked.
"He's lonely," Lucian responded.
"If he keeps it up he'll be even lonelier," Brie said. She told him Eirikhr's tale as best she could. She tried hard to not put her own slant on it. She knew that some people would believe what Eirikhr had to say, and some, like herself, wouldn't. She didn't want to sway Lucian.
After Brie finished Lucian was quiet for a moment. "That's quite a story," he said at last.
Brie took another sip of very weak coffee. "To be honest, I don't believe him. I'm sure that HE believes what he says, but it's too strange for me. He knows that I don't believe him, and that makes him think that I hate him, but I don't. He was pretty upset about being pulled off the mission, but I did that on Holodoc's recommendation. If he does well in the sims, then he'll get his chance."
"If he's not from an alternate timeline, how would you explain him?" Lucian asked.
"My first thought was that he had been smoking plant vapors," Brie replied, "but that would have showed up in his physical. My new theory is that maybe he was a Cylon POW, he's been brainwashed into believing what he's said. He could have attached his shuttle underneath the Callisto during that last battle, before the jump, which would explain how he was able to arrive under such mysterious circumstances. I want him to talk to Najinn, see if he can pick up anything since he knows all about being a Cylon prisoner. But Najinn is still weak, I don't want to jeopardize his recovery. And if Eirikhr wasn't a Cylon POW, then my guess is that......well for now I'm going with my brainwashing theory."
"What is somehow his story is true?" Lucian wondered.
Brie smiled once again. "Then all the Bries in the other universes don't believe in me either."
LucianG
Bland wouldn't do justice to the "stuff" on Lucian's plate. Tasteless would be getting close. Now he understood the "black market" that had developed for seasonings and spices. Yuck!
"Brie, Nat will do a good job finding out his capabilities in a Viper. He'll let you know. If Eirikhr can fly, follow orders, do a good job, and kill Cylons, as far as I'm concerned, he can be from any of the 9 Hells of Tarturus, Hades, or any of those other nasty places that I'd rather not visit. He seems like a nice guy, just confused about the circumstances in which he's found himself. I sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Of course, you've got all those potential look-alikes to worry about, so I'm sure you wouldn't either," Lucian said, chuckling. "Really, let's try to give him a chance, as long as he's lucid. Are you having him visit Doc or Reverend Mars? They might be able to detect mind alteration."
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: After his warning message was delivered Commander Sheba told him to come to the Bridge Commander's Ready Room, no guards this time, no other officers, just alone himself.......atleast it was a "sure" step up for him. Unfortunately Eirikhr was sure Commander Sheba was angry or something, perhaps at his disturbing her under these unusual circumstances......she was right in one sense and wrong in another. Did she not battle Diabolis in her own way........did not Commander Cain give her his Medallion Seal Of Kobol? He would have had, for her to develope her strong mental powers, they were indeed strong so much so that he could not detect them himself, or she had more finer shielding mentally than Eirikhr did himself.....and he realized he was so much a novice in these matters even though he had been choosen as the Lord Gods Of Kobol Emmissary perhaps over and above Commander Sheba.
The warning he had given her had fallen on about 75% deaf ears......the talk she had given him about ,"being careful about these unknown encounters with The Lord Gods Of Kobol and one should not really wish for them to happen often", was pure rubbish! Oh Commander Sheba commented off-handedly, "we might want the warm good experiences to continue and be lead to believe that the experiences were one way when they could be totally different", was true enough by itself.....but Sheba had to know that Ensign Eirikhr was experiencing what only she and he had experienced, along with Captain Apollo and Lieutenant Starbuck, and perhaps Lieutenant Colonel Charybdis. The living Day To Day Reality was fine for Ensign Eirikhr except the Lord Gods Of Kobol had changed his reality from his own Realistic Timeline of a much friendlier Battlestar Galactica and Battlestar Callisto into Lt. Amy's Callisto where Eirikhr was doubted ridiculed and discounted as fool......worse yet untill the dimentions and timelines converged and diverged.....whom knew how-long, he was stuck here.
He was walking down the corridors of the Battlestar Callisto back to his Gold Squadron Barricks Ensign Dorm Quarters determined to get his required 0.45 Centons of sleep to be ready for the Sim Viper Training as Major Brie wanted it and be ready when Lt. Resonat ordered him to the Training Sim Deck, another thought struck him. There was only one person in the whole Battlestar Callisto that might believe him and even help him, this was Lieutenant Najinn, Major Brie's injuried friend and psychologist resident......Eirikhr had noticed his name in the Bed Table Computron Holo 3D Set before he had gone to bed. On a hunch he decided not to go to bed directly but now headed to the MedLab Deck to MedLab and Sickbay. He had noticed several people into the Sickbay and now he would have a talk with Lt. Head Nurse Holodoc to see if he could talk to this Lt. Najinn and see if Najinn could help him......he would tell Najinn everything!
Ensign Eirikhr hurries down to the MedLab, goes in and quickly walks up to Lt. Head Nurse Holodoc's desk. Ensign Eirikhr smiles warmly at her, "Lt. Holodoc this is getting to be a habit......first I thankyou very much for allowing me to speak in the War Room, you didn't actually have to do that.....but it saved some people's bad perceptions of me in some respects, now I fight a battle of partial disbelief. If it was my wish I would want to be sent back in my own time line.....but Lt. Amy thinks I am an asset to you and I can help the crew of the Battlestar Callisto....she says I am just what you need. Lt. Holodoc there is only one person here next to Commander Sheba that can understand me, Sheba will not right now and she discounts the warning I sent her, you should know that the Lord Gods Of Kobol have taken me to their dimention twice, and Prince Diabolis has take me to his dimention once. If you want to you can run a series of tests on me right now but it should be pretty clear that I have dimentional-shifted.....a friend of Major Brie's is here called, I think, Lieutenant Najinn. If he is well enough and wants to talk to me, I would like to talk to him. I have to get some sleep afterward and then go to my Viper Pilot Sim training and anything else Major Brie,Lt. Col. Charybdis and Commander Sheba can dream up."
LucianG
Whirling, a-twirling, Countless rocks, swirling. Tumbling, a-bumbling. In the silence, mumbling. Warriors Four plus four more, Closing together, dodging debris, Nearing the jump point, all would agree, As they twist and grumble, buck and jerk, Dodging these rocks, was really hard work!
Amy81
It had only been mere microns since launch, and yet my body already ached and my face was coated in sweat. I had never encountered such a rotten place to navigate a viper through. It required constant adjustments, quick acceleration followed by deployment of braking flaps, over and over and over...
Twice now I had to squeeze off a laser shot to destroy a small asteriod the would not cooperate with me. I'd seen Kiwi do the same, and from a distance I could see Mara and Kellyn in the same trouble. I resisted the urge to radio them. None of us needed the distraction, and we were to keep contact to a minimum anyway.
We inched onward, and I kept a wary eye on my scanner. Somewhere in this mess was the gravity well, and the sooner we were onto it, the sooner we could end this survey. The scanner was irritatingly silent, and so we continued.
It was Mara that first noticed the change, and her voice cut into the silence of my cockpit. "Lt. Amy" she said, "I'm detecting a different pattern to the flow of these asteriods. Do you see it?"
I looked hard, trying to see what Mara had observed. I was a bit ahead of her, so my scanner was the first to verify what she had seen with the naked eye. "Good work Mara!" I replied, switching the com so I could speak to all three vipers in my command. "My scanner is picking up a disturbance. Could be the gravity well. Something has or is influencing the path of the asteriods in the sector ahead. Lock scanners forward and shout if you pick something up."
It wasn't much, but it was there, a slight change in the scanner readouts. We inched onward, deeper into the asteroid field.
MaraJadeJedi
Lt MaraJade and Lt Kellyn were flying along, dodging the best they could. The vipers were bumping along and had a few hits to them. Kellyn got Mara's attention by firing off a set of vollies to break apart an asteroid. Mara looked over and held up a thumb to see if she was ok. Kellyn nodded and thumbs up back then brushed her hand across her brow as if to say "whew!" They continued on and Mara looked at her scanner and saw something weird and notified Amy on the comm but kept it minimal due to orders. She looked back over at Kellyn's viper and made a motion to keep her eyes open. We just kept flying along not sure of what we were really looking for.

CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: As Gold Squadron inches slowly forward in the Asteroid Belt Of the Pauvwell Starsystem looking for the Gravity-Well, Ensign Eirikhr has gone to the MedLab Sickbay insearch of Lieutenant Najinn. As Eirikhr is talking to Head Nurse Lt. Holodoc to allow him to see Lt. Najinn, a sudden throbbing pain sears through his head, Ensign Eirikhr screams out in pain and falls to the floor as Lt. Jarryn and Lt. Holodoc starts to get up from their equipment and desks about to assist Ensign Eirikhr. "Nooooooooooo, Not to happen this way I must stop this........i must stop this....neeeeeeeedddddheeelllllppppppppppppppp!", now mumbles an agonized Ensign Eirikhr, "You nurses stay where you are.......if you want to help me move me over to Lt. Najinn......he is the only one that can help me! Gold And Black are in danger, AAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I am wrong, wrong I was foolish.........Najinnnnn hear me........", Eirikhr now clutches his head. "Holodoc and Jarryn you must put me on an trolly bed next to Lt. Najinn.........only way to save Gold And Black!", with this Ensign Eirikhr half rises clutching his head while Nurses Holodoc and Jarryn now begin to rise, one heading for the Trolly Bed and one to grab Eirikhr's arm and lift him up on the Trolly Bed and wheel it towards Lt. Najinn.
JustinB
Due to all the dodging of the asteroids, it seemed like the Black Squadron Team had been flying for centars. Lt Anubis was scanning ahead, while Ensign JustinB was scanning ahead but also towards Gold Squadron's area of search.
So far the Vipers had only taken relatively minor damage. Off to his left JustinB could see that both Lts. Kris and Rose were in a more denser part of the field, which required the occasional blast of their lasers.
Just when he thought he had the direction of the asteroids figured out, two of them collided sending one straight towards JustinB, “Velgercarb” he muttered as he squeezed of three shots of his lasers. But the asteroid still half the size of his viper still came towards him. Just as he was about to let go with a couple more laser shots, four laser shots came from over his left side. It was Lt Anubis. Some of the debris hit the canopy and caused a little crack. “Are you alright Ensign?” Anubis asked. “I am fine Sir and thanks, but my canopy is slightly cracked, but it should be ok,” JustinB replied.
JustinB continued to scan ahead hoping to catch a glimpse of a sign that would point to the gravity well as they went deeper into the system.
Walksallroads
Anubis' nav computer is only capable to showing what's happening, not predicting the movements of those bodies near him. However, his mind is capable of tracking and plotting the various bodies in the area, and avoid collisions. It's the ones that collide together that cause problems. Anubis is able to, though his predictions, steer clear of the asteroids with ease. In keeping with the asteroids, Anubis pulls a small sheet of paper, and plots their courses, keeping one eye on the paper, and the other on his trajectory. He hails JustinB on ship-to-ship laser. "Cover me." He quickly sees a pattern emerging, then gives JustinB the signal for "Stand Down."
Amy81
I turned up my cockpit's cooling system. It was really feeling stuffy inside. Being on edge continually since launch was taking it's toll, but I hung in there knowing that we were on to something.
Off to my left, I caught a glimpse of the Black Squadron team. We were both closing in the same particular area, the one my scanner indicated might contain the gravity well and a possible jump point.
I watched my screen as the indicators danced with blips and spikes, showing that something was indeed here. It was hard to separate the information, since the thick layer of asteriods mixed up the read outs. What might be a pure indication of a jump point under normal conditions could turn out to be nothing out here, once the information was properly processed.
One thing was certain. In the area we were approaching, the asteriods behaved differently. Something had changed their paths. The existance of a gravity well could account for it, but also a great collision of some kind could also do the same thing. The readouts began to show an increase in metallic content, which could mean that the asteriods might be made up of an increasingly rich mix of metals. Under normal conditions, a mining expedition could yield a rich return, but alas no mining team would be able to get safely close enough.
I was near enough to make contact with the Black team, and decided to risk it. I needed to know what they had learned so far. Comparing notes could help us both.
"Gold leader to Black leader" I said, switching my com link to hail Lt. Anubis. After a moment, I heard Anubis reply. I tried to keep it as condensed as I could.
"Anubis, we're converging on your vector. I'm getting some readings, indicating a possible gravity well ahead. Also tracking unusual asteriod activity, like what a gravity well could produce, or maybe a collision of some kind, like maybe the break up of a small planetiod. Richer metallic content the closer we get. What do you make of it?"
Walksallroads
Anubis keys his comm. "Confirmed. Projection indicates the strong possibility of a gravity well suitable for jump. Gold Leader, look tp port."
MedievalSong
I sat there in my viper as we confirmed meeting up with Gold. I counted them and saw them all there. That made me feel better. I was worried about Justin though. I wanted to get him back to the ship and soon with that cracked canopy. I hesitated using the com link but knew it would be the only way to let my intentions be known to Anubis.
"Lt Anubis, should we be heading back then? If not we might think on it seriously or get someone to get Ensign JustinB back soon before more damage is done to his viper. I don't want to be held responsible for any lives more than I have to."
I waited to see his response.
JustinB
JustinB was trying to make himself comfortable, when he heard on the comlink about him being escorted back to the Callisto. He knew that his canopy was cracked, but he was determined he would not leave this mission if he had his way.
"Lt Anubis, Sir, My viper and I are quite alright," JustinB said with confidence, "I've worked out how to determine the trajectories of the Asteroids. I request permission to stay with the Squadron. I will inform you ASAP if I need to get out of here."
'Hopefully, the Lt will see things my,'JustinB thought to himself.
He looked towards the Anubis's viper expecting an immediate reply, when out of the corner of his eye he sees a bright light. By the time he turns his head in the direction of the light he sees nothing. 'There it is, but a long way off,'JustinB whispers. Just slightly to starboard off in the distance something is reflecting light.
MaraJadeJedi
Lt Kris got on the comm link "Ensign Justin, if you experience ANY problems let us know immediately so we can get you taken care of!" Lt MaraJade shook her head. She knew that Kris must be getting worried about that cracked canopy. Then again she could understand. Out here was not the place to be crippled. Then her scanner beeped and Mara saw something that didn't look right. "Lt Amy look off to the left. What do you see?" Silence crackled then I heard her voice. "It's part of a ship!" Then she made a motion to move forward to look.
We headed in and found there were parts of ships mingled with the asteroids. I looked at Amy to see if she saw them too. "Do you think it was the asteroids that destroyed them?" Mara asked. "I don't think so." Amy replied.
JustinB
After recieving the message from Lt. Kris, Ensign JustinB was annoyed at himself at being hit by the asteroid debris.
'They all should be concentrating on the mission, but they are concerned about my well being,' He thought to himself, 'From now on I will make sure it doesn't happen again.' His first mission and he nearly screws it up. 'I guess the first round is on me once we get out of this Sysrem.'
He had also heard Lt. MaraJade's sighting of ship wreckage in the asteroid field. JustinB focussed on taking readings on the suspected jump point. Although he could not help in seeing the odd piece of charred metal debris. He flew his viper with care, so not to add himself to the graveyard as he saw it.
Hawke14
"Hawke,report to the bridge and don't be late. And whatever you do don't pull your pistol." Winnie had said to me. "Aye." I replied. Don't pull my pistol? Why would I want to? I got up from the mess table and reported to the bridge. I couldn't help but thinking that something happened,but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe I'll go to Holodoc and see what it is after my shift.
I make my way to the bridge and report to Commander Sheba. "Officer Hawke reporting as ordered,Ma'am."
LucianG
"Officer Hawke, good of you to join us," said Commander Sheba, pointing to the war room. Hawke detected a hint of "finally" left hanging at the end of the sentence, but he'd made the best time possible to the bridge.
Captain Urdea was sitting at the conference table with a medical book, a beaker with some fluid, and a small pile of electronic devices. He was tweaking one of the devices, activating it, and then dipping a strip of paper in the beaker. Finally, after a couple of attempts, a small green light activated on the device, blinking softly. Lieutenant Skon was seated at the table next to Urdea, looking puzzled.
"That should do it, Commander," Urdea said with a grin. Skon still looked perplexed.
"Excellent. Now, gentlemen, you've been called here--"
"Sorry, I'm late, Captain--OH, Commander!" said Sergeant Winnie, rushing into the room with a box which she shoved across the table to Urdea. "That's everything on your list."
"Thank you, Sergeant," said Urdea. "We're here because we have a situation, and I don't want it to get out of hand until we know how widespread the problem is. Based on a discussion with Nurse Holodoc and some litmus strip tests, we believe some of our officers may have been exposed to a chemical toxin of unknown origin. Officer Lolly may have perished from exposure to this chemical, possibly encountering it during his rounds. We are concerned for the safety of all of our officers, so, with Commander Sheba's approval, I'd like to assign Sergeant Winnie and Officer Hawke to use a couple of these small electronic devices to scan the lockers of each of our Fleet Security Officers."
"By all means, Captain, proceed," said Sheba.
"I've programmed them to detect the signature of the chemical. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be a slow process, and will take a couple of cycles to get through all 120 some odd officers in our force. You are to report your progress every two centars to Lieutenant Skon. If you have any positive readings, you are to report them to Lieutenant Skon and to me so I can examine the situation and determine whether or not there is a need to report the situation to the affected officers. Any questions?"
"Yeah, just what is that thing?" asked Hawke.
"It's a hand-held spectrometer that looks like it's working right. Don't touch anything except the on-off button. If you touch anything else, you'll be getting positive readings from no telling what, and you'll miss any positives that you should be getting. Anything else? If not, get started."
A couple of centons later, after they were gone, Sheba asked, "Captain, if I didn't know better, I would have thought you'd have been assigned to Counter-Intelligence long ago to mislead the Cylons instead of your own officers. For all of our sakes, I just hope you know what you're doing."
"Me, too, Commander. Me, too."

Doc pushed the cart filled with the small boxes into Med Lab. She was glad to be back on the Callisto. She had been called to the orphan ship regarding a virus that seemed to be spreading among the children. Upon discovering that the virus was quite contagious she quaruntined herself on the orphan ship hopeing to contain the illness and not bring it within contact of any warriors. She had left a note on her desk in Med Lab so that Holodoc and Jarryn would know she would be back as soon as possible. Coming up with an antidote for the virus had taken longer than she had hoped but all the children were fine now and non of the adults had contracted the virus.
Holodoc greeted her warmly and Doc was pleased to show her waht she had been working on while she was away. "I've made up these first aid kits to be supplied to all vipers. Please help me check them and make sure that they all have the correct supplies in them." Doc and Holodoc went to work checking each box for the following:
2 pkgs. lg adhesive bandages 1 pair sissors 1 pair tweasers 1 triangular bandage 1 pkg. sterile pads 1 pkg. non-adherant pads 1 pkg. adhesive bandages 1 pkg. 1inch x 4 yd bandage 1 pkg. 2inch x 4 yd bandage 1 roll waterproof adhesive tape 1 tube antiseptic ointment 1 tube burn ointment 2 sterile eye pads 2 pads ammonia inhalant 2 packaged cleansing towels
"I have also completed a phamplet called "First Steps to First Aid" which will accompany each of these kits. It should guide our pilots in what to do if a patient is not breathing, is bleeding, in shock, has burns or broken bones, has been poisoned or is in shock. It also had information on cuts and abrasions, puncture wounds, dislocations and sprains. I tried to cover most thing that might happen on a mission. At least this should give them some insight on immediate response to any wounds incurred untill they can get them to the lab or a Med Tech arrives." All we have to do now is get this cleared with Brie and the others. Then I will feel much better about our guys being out there." Doc smiled at Holodoc who nodded in agreement.
I also had an idea about a project that us girls here could waok on. Thought it might bring us closer together working on someting that has nothing to do with medicine. What do you think of this. I thought we might try to either put on a musical show. Either singing or playing an instrument or both. Seems to me we need some entertainment around here. We could put out some feelers and see if anyone on board plays an instrument. Perhaps with some practice they could perform as a band or if we get a good response an orchestra. We could also have a chorus or individual performers. The other thing I was thinking off is putting on a play. I think we might have quite a few people interested in that. Anyway, I thought after we get enough people together we would decide what type of play to perform. Soooo, what do you think?"
Charybdis
I realized that Doc BKJ had been busy for the last several cycles, but she had returned to duty in the Med Lab.
I had been feeling OK since my last bout with the strain of influenzon that had confined me to my quarters for a couple of cycles. I had just barely been able to get up and around and be back on the bridge, but I still couldn't shake a bad sore throat. The timing was terrible too, what with our warriors out on the dangerous mission in the asteroid field.
I decided to see what Doc would say about it and have her look me over.
As I entered the Med Lab, I went over to Doc's office. She smiled as she welcomed me in and shut the door behind her. I told her how I had felt chills and had suffered severe headache pains during the last cycle, but I was now past that. However, I still had a lingering sore throat that made swallowing very difficult. It felt as if my throat aperture was almost shut with swollen tissue.
She had me sit up on the table as she looked into my mouth. I wondered how bad it was...
Bkj_99
After listening to Charybdis explain his symptoms, Doc asked him to open his mouth so shee could take a look. "MMhuhm, it looks a little raw in there and slightly swollen." From the way it felt Charybdis thought it was more than just "a little" swollen. You know, from what you have told me, this sounds alot like the virus they had over on the orphans ship. I was hoping that we had contained it there. I had better make up another batch of the anti-virus and put the word out for all personnel to get innoculated. As for yourself, I'm afraid you are going to have to ride this last part out. I will give you some cough syrup which you can take to coat your throat at night. It might help you sleep better. As for other suggestion, drink lots of cold liquids, a salt water gargle might help, or perhaps drinking tea with lemon or honey. I have a vaporizer that you could borrow and use during the night. They help sometimes. But I'm afraid that's the best I can do for you at this point. Taking the shot would be of no use to you as you have already gone through the worst of it. If you use some of the suggestions I've given you, it should be just a couple of days and you should start feeling better. However, should your throat continue to bother you please get back to me. But I really don't think you will need to do that."
Doc hoped she had made him feel better by letting him know that although his throat was very sore it wasn't anything to serious. So she thought why not ask him about the first aid kits. "Charybdis, while I've got you here there is someting I'd like to show you." She walked over to the cart where the kits were and brought one over handing it to him. " Remember how I was so concern about our pilots having some kind of first aid training?" Charybdis nodded. " Well, I've come up with a way that all our pilots can be able to handle first response aid to any wounded warrior. This is a kit which contains most of the materials needed to treat several types of wounds. I've also written a phamplet explaning what it is that they need to do. This could be crucial in saving someones life before they are able to reach a med tech or bring them here to Med Lab. I'd like you to take one of these with you and read it and look it over. My first instinct is to insist that a med tech be aboard for each mission. However, if you would allow me to put one of these in every viper. I may reconsider.

Lieutenant Swensson was worried about “his” pulsar cannon. He thought of it as his baby, with all of the other assorted weaponry being the baby’s toys. It had been out of service ever since the battle in the Frodar system, and a crew of Engineers and Techs had been swarming over it making repairs ever since. The latest estimate on time remaining was unacceptable; it had merely said, “Unknown.”
Swensson had visited the electronic control room, and after receiving no satisfaction, had headed down to the Shop to pursue it there.
“Aye, Mon, e’s a mess, and the boys are going as fast as they can ter fix it,” reported Chief Gruber, the Chief Shop Tech. “We program someting for production, and e’ works for a while, but then we’ve got to start all over ‘gain. Ef I didn’t know better, Mon, I’d tink someting was tweaking wit our program. Me best guess is that we’ll have the rest of the parts produced wit-in the four er five cycles, and den you’re lookin at anuder cycle er two ter get ‘er all installed.”
“Chief, I want a guard on that computer console now. Get Fleet Security to send someone down here. The guard doesn’t leave that post even to go to the turboflush without another guard in place, understood? Good. Let’s get this thing done. I don’t know if we have another secton to get this done.”
“Aye, right to it Mon,” said Gruber.
* * *
“I can’t believe it! Some of our folks may have gotten into some poison and we didn’t even know it. It’s a wonder we’re not all dead,” said Sergeant Winculas to Officer Hawke a couple of meters away.
Modo and Lolly’s personal effects had been recycled since they had no survivors. Winnie played the hand-held scanner’s light over Lolly’s locker, but received no indication of the poison. She wasn’t surprised since the locker would have been sanitized when Lolly’s items were removed. Still, Captain Urdea had said to look.
Hawke, looking at Modo’s locker suddenly said, “Hmmm. This is interesting…”
* * *
Ensign Eirikhr sat in the SIM Viper running through Lieutenant Resonat’s checkout program with five Cadets who were getting close to completing this phase of their training. Some of the controls were slightly different than Eirikhr had used in the past, but Nat assured him that the controls in the current Vipers matched these exactly.
“Let’s run through the next one, Ensign, Cadets. Stick together.”
* * *
Commander Sheba wasn’t happy with Swensson’s report, but then again, Swensson hadn’t expected her to be. With the pulsar cannon still out of service, if a path had to be cleared through the asteroids, it would take a lot more effort, including the use of some Warriors in Vipers. The danger would be incredible if pieces of rocks were flying in all directions.
“Lieutenant Swensson, please send in Lieutenant Colonel Charybdis on your way out.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Sheba looked at the chrono. The survey teams should be on their way home now. She hoped that they'd found the jump point and that the asteroid belt wouldn't be in the way. That, she knew, was probably just wishful thinking.
Charybdis
Swensson poked around the bridge but did not have any luck locating Lt. Col. Charybdis.
He asked Lt. Aegina at one of the control consoles. After punching a few buttons, she replied, "He's checked in with Doc BKJ at Med Lab. Do you want me to call him?"
"Well, Cmdr. Sheba said she needed him on the bridge. You might want to let him know."
The message went out...

From Ensign Eirikhr: Late that shift Ensign Eirikhr sat on a control Couch of an SIM Viper,in The Sims Viper Training Deck Training Center that was taught by Lieutenant Resonat. 'This is a major step up for me!', thought Ensign Eirikhr, 'If Commander Sheba and Major Brie can have such faith in me then LGK Adama was right.....Commander Sheba and Major Brie have finally come to terms with whom I am rather than whom they thought I was. My The Great Gods Of Kobol I owe it all to Major Brie's friend Lt. Najinn.' *** Part of Ensign Eirikhrs mind once again replays out the painful incident where he collasped in the MedLab some centons ago.......there was a war going on in his mind as well as a terrible war going on outside being fought by the Lord Gods of Kobol and Diabolis for the souls and minds of Black and Gold Squadrons........Eirikhr had done his best to warn Commander Sheba, he had busted through long established Protocal, tried to remind, worried over, fretted about the welfare of nearly everyone on the Battlestar Callisto, yet nobody took his warnings seriously enough untill he had gone to the MedLab in search of Lt. Najinn, the only person on the whole Battlestar Callisto that might understand him, Lt. Najinn had not even know him and Ensign Eirikhr had not known what to expect......but when events were set in motion......*** *** Things could have been much worse, there was a time where Ensign Eirikhr thought he would die in a near comatose-state lost in the battling thoughts of good entities and those that were completely evil, however Lt. Najinn had bravely got patched into Ensign Eirikhr's 1/3rd of mind not fighting the war and had comforted him and supported him......saved his life even..........it had happened and Lt. Najinn knew now more about Ensign Eirikhr than most onboard the Battlestar Callisto. Eirikhr knew Lt. Najinn would be his lifelong friend as would some others and one that was still out in the Pauvwell System, Lt. Amy, no matter weither Eirikhr came from another timeline where he might have never met Lt. Najinn***
***Checking out the Viper SIMs with Lieutenant Resonat's checklist and going through the first few phases of the SIMs Viper Pilot training course brought back both good and bad memories for Ensign Eirikhr, he had been training first at the age of about 13 Yahrens old for Eirikhr by his mother Helianna Boxius. He had been taken to a slightly modified Shuttlecraft and in no-non-sense teaching he had learned the ropes of survival in a shuttlecraft, no motherly affection here, the facts of life that every serving civilian should know and respect. First was Shuttlecraft SIMs training in a half sized cockpit of what a real Shuttlecraft was like, for a boy of 13 Yahrens old this was demanding training, if he misbehaved Mom got tougher, his rump got swatted good and he lost priveleges of watching Uni-Comm Inter Rag-Tag Fleet Holo 3D shows on the VidScanner at home, even worse he had to take remedial classes at Battlestar Galactica Teen Cadet School. Now there were some 75 Classrooms and Eirikhr Boxius had to take lessons in 5 different classrooms with about 100 bullies he had to contend with, however his Mom taught him the rudiments of fighting as any Freighter Captain might know and he survived....but the nightmares and torment about his "Low Class Civilian Upbring" would plague him for the rest of his life. One bully that had some Classed Parents had even hacked into some confidential school records and found out about Eirikhr Boxius's ties to his "Foster Brother" Boxie-Apollo. The slander and torment he had recieved when such material got tossed around was almost more than he could bare, Mom couldn't be told and he had to endure fights and the sexual-inunendo from teen-girls that he might have wanted to date.......eventually the administrators found out what this UperClassman had done and what was going on, talking to Helianna Boxius they quietly hushed up the matter........Commander Adama had come down to the school and had a stern talk with the other boy's family and the boy himself, the bully was sent to another class room with another instructor and an reprimand on his record, but Eirikhr knew that he had an enemy in that bully for life! By this time Boxie was an adult with 8 Yahrens more than Eirikhr did himself.
Boxie had changed his name to Troy and was taking his first few years at Viper Pilot Training School Colonial Warriors Academy on the Battlestar Galactica, he knew nothing of Eirikhr Boxius and had only bumped into Eirikhr Boxius a few times but had not recognized his younger brother......yet Troy's father Strike Commander Captain Apollo did, so did Strike Commander Spar Gold Squadron Captain Sheba did, as well as Lt. Brie and Lt. Cassiopiea did indeed and Lt. Colonel Athena did as well, there were rare times that Apollo,Sheba,Cassiopiea,Brie and Adama visited his mother Helianna Boxius and Eirikhr treasure those times........
At about 16 Yahrens old, Eirikhr Boxius had completed his schooling and had signed on to the VPTS Colonial Warriors Academy on the Galactica where he had entered as and Freshman Cadet Recruit.....then had began rugged training from Sheba,Apollo,Athena and the Training Instructors..........5 Yahrens Eirikhr had trained and he gained much knowledge on how to fly then later gotten his wings. He had graduated in his altered timeline 94th from an school of 1,556 student Cadets and had recieved his Ensign Graduates Epilaps Insignia.***
*** Snapping back to the present, Ensign Eirikhr also remembered the recess of a few phases ago that he had talked Lt. Resonat on a break that he had, "Why do you do this so hard and fly a Viper Sim with such a chip on your shoulder and are a bit suspicious of the other Cadets Ensign Eirikhr?", Lieutenant Resonat wanted to know. "Well you know I may be from another timeline......I checked some of the bio info, you are a friend of Major Brie after all Lt. Resonat.", Ensign Eirikhr replied, "Are you interested in who I am rather than whom you might think I might be?" "Well I have heard some things, yes, much about you....but it matters little to me that you might be from somewhere else in timelines.", Lt. Resonat looked at Ensign Eirikhr compassionately not at all like his hard-as-nails persona when he instructed, "Please tell me who you are and what your life was like in the other timeline? I really want to know."
With that Ensign Eirikhr tells Lt. Resonat about himself, it feels much warmer in the Viper SIMs Training Center for Ensign Eirikhr and he trusts both the Cadets and this instructor easier and improves on his Viper Pilot skills.........in the next new phase nearing the end of the Viper SIMs Lieutenant Resonat reminds Eirikhr and his classmates, "Let's run through the next one, Ensign and Cadets. Stick together."***
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: The next phase of the final training was much more intensive as Lieutenant Resonat put the Cadets and Ensign Eirikhr through their paces, the No-Win Situations were very real enough, there was the painful battle of The Twelve Worlds where the 6th Battlestar Fleet made stupid choices of negotiating with the Cylons instead of being ready for their tricks, some of the Cadets even manned the mockup consoles of the several Battlestars to choose from, but Eirikhr prefered to fly in his Viper Simulator blasting Cylon Raider Fightercraft to atoms. It was hard, in one simulation, some Battlestars got off some Viperfightercraft and Eirikhr was made group leader after some of the Flightleaders had bought it.......Lt. Resonat took pity on nobody, protraying the Cylon Imperious Leader and the Cylon Armada, Resonat was true to form.
Ensign Eirikhr's flight group was from the Battlestar Phoenix, much like Starbuck and Boomer before him, Eirikhr leads the Cadets in a last ditch attempt to turn the Cylon Armada tide, 250 Viperfightercraft launched from the Battlestar Galactica and the Battlestar Phoenix.....Battlestar Atlantia destroyed and fully nearly all the rest. "Oh boy," Ensign Eirikhr complains as he and 15 Viperfightercraft Sims take on 75 Cylon Raiderfightercraft, ".......here we go again! Guys try to stay outside of their kill zone-scans but inside just in the outer far limit, drive them crazy with your manouvers when you get them in your aim Blast Them!" Suddenly eight Cylons engage first, "Ok You bunch of snivelling Daggits here we go." From then on the fighting is fast and furious, Eirikhr tries to keep a cool desplay of proffessionalism on the outside when he is communicating with the Cadets as flight-leader but inside he is a burst of the Elements and such deep revenge is in his turbo lazers!
Slowly the terrible ache comes into his hands,arms shoulders, 1 Centon turns into 1/2 more then 2 Centons, the manouvers of Man and Viper are matched much like an group of planets orbiting an large sun in an solarsystem. Some Cadets in Ensign Eirikhr's flight group are 'electronically killed', the group gets smaller as the Cadets have to leave the sims, only Eirikhr's skill and resourcefullness gets him out of trouble that even an full Colonial Warrior First Class would have some problems with, the Battlestars Phoenix and Galactica survives as the Cylon Raiders even press their advantage.......unfortunately the Battlestar Galactica must go back to Caprica to try to save the starsystem. The Phoenix still survives incredible odds, the battle waged stretches into nearly 3 1/2 Centons. Finally Commander Adama sends an transmission to the Battlestar Phoenix that they must withdraw, he has landed on Caprica and that there is nothing to save, the Phoenix is to round up all remaining Vipers and go with the Battlestar Galactica into deepspace to lead the Rag-Tag Fleet to safety.
Ensign Eirikhr lands his damaged Viperfightercraft Sim on an landingbay of the Phoenix as he and 75 other demoralized, discouraged Cadets exit from the Sim Chamber just as 75 other Cadets exit the Sim Battlestar Galactica Chamber, this time a smiling Lieutenant Resonat meets them all in the Sim Conference Briefing Room, "Welcome gentlemen, very good.....yes you have suffered much but you have to learn what true defeat means before you can understand how to rise above that defeat.", Lieutenant Resonat says somewhat gently, "My congradulations to Ensign Eirikhr.....our Flight Leader Of Gold Squadron Battlestar Phoenix!" "But I lost more than half of the 250 Vipers......I didn't win!, cries an upset Ensign Eirikhr. Lieutenant Resonat smiles broadly at Ensign Eirikhr, "You came back alive helped the Battlestar Galactic get the survivors off of Caprica.....and helped the Battlestar Phoenix survive....even they were able to collect 75 Viperfightercraft. I would say you beat the odds. Class dismissed untill next phase testing!"
LucianG
The lights came up in the room, and Eirikhr had the opportunity to meet the "real" six Cadets with whom he had been flying for a good part of the shift. The Cadet Captain in the last SIM Viper cockpit, who had been working with Nat and the computer to make the session more difficult and effective, called the Cadets to the side, and as they were about to begin discussing the session, he noticed that Ensign Eirikhr wasn't approaching. "Hey, Ensign, you're welcome to this pow-wow, too. We're going to review the session with Lieutenant Nat over dinner. Want to join us?"
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: Ensign Eirikhr is a little bit confused, when he sees the real "Cadets" that he flew with he smartly comes to parade-ground Colonial Academy Attention and salutes Lieutenant Nat and Lieutenant Resonat, there are tears of sorrow and pride in Eirikhr's grey-green eyes, "I think I would enjoy dinner with you officers......boy that was quite a workout on those Viper Simulators. Sirs I now know exactly what Commander Apollo must have felt like when he was confronted with the same situation in the real defeat of the Twelve Colonies....if you don't mind dinner with an Ensign from another timeline? Do I have a pass for your officer's club so I don't get thrown into the Brig, Major Brie would be a bit testy with me if she found out I was in officer's territory.", Ensign Eirikhr says now with a friendly grin.
"Quite a sly trick you Sirs pulled on me.....but it was definately worth it for you as it was for me.", Ensign Eirikhr says as he and the officers head out for dinner.
Brie
Major Brie saw Lieutenant Resonat entering the Mess Hall with several people, including Ensign Eirikhr. She caught Nat's attention and motioned for him. "How'd he do?" she asked.
"Really well. I put him through the paces, as you asked. I'll have the full report ready for you later tonight."
"No hurry," Brie replied. "Do me a favor, and send him to Lt. Holodoc. She had suggested that he do some time in the sims and then she'd run a few tests on him. But I see no reason why he can't enjoy his dinner first."
Lieutenant Resonat rejoined his party and Brie left to let Holodoc know that she could be expecting Ensign Eirikhr in a centar or so.

CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: Shortly before Ensign Eirikhr and Lt. "Nat" Resonat along with the 6 Cadets head off for the group dinner, after leaving the Viper Training Sim Center, Ensign Eirikhr introduces himself to each of the Cadets and shakes Resonat's hand and each of the 6 Cadets's hands in the most friendly manner. "I would like you all to consider myself your friend and I can consider you all my friends.......I would like to work closer with all us as an group and see where it will take us. I know sometimes I appear to be aluff and even daydreaming at times but it is not that at all......it is hard for me to explain but some of you have heard rumors about me. It doesn't matter what rank I am it doesn't matter what rank Lt. Resonat is.....it matters how we all work together as a team to reach a common goal.", this Ensign Eirikhr says with an heartfelt tone in his voice and a brightness in his grey-green eyes, "Now who's up for some Caprican Bronus Colonial Stout....... .......I am quite thirsty after my trial of Cylon Fire!"
Phlandor_Xixran
"Approaching the Callisto Ensign, and there is some mail for you" stated the shuttle pilot nonchelantly. I harumphed and logged into the Callisto's Message archive. I read and responded to the main messages from Command staff. Sighing I preped my jump bag and duffle for exit. *shuttle touching down in a thump* "Hey cah you make that landing any rougher?" I exclaimed as I was lucky to not have released my harness. The pilot stood up as she shut down the systems "What you can do better, Ensign?" "Well the best pilots are from Scorpia arent they?" I asked as I trudged out the shuttle hatch to her fading curses. I stopped at the Duty office and showed my Ident Card to the Warrior on duty. He welcomed me and told me where to find the Squadron XO Lt. BatGal. I thanked himn and walked over to the lift and headed into my new life.
Najinn
Lt Najin lay in his bed, he was feeling much much better.
The medlab staff had worked wonders on saving him, he would be eternally grateful for their care and support.
He lay thinking of Lt Amy, the way she had come into his dreams was a powerful reminder to him of just how much he loved her. His heart was eternally hers.
He smiled as he felt the most relaxed he had been in such a long time. Infact since he was back on the Aggi. Amy had a lot to answer for!!
He noticed a comotion outside his room, where an ensign was falling to the floor holding his head. The med lab staff were rushing around him, as he screamed to be put next to "Najin"
Najin asked to himself; "Who the hell is this?"
He put two and three together and came up with 32, it was Ensign Eirikhr.....
The medlab staff put him on a trolley and rolled him next to Najin, Jarrynn looked at Najin and smiled.
Najin kinda guessed what was up. He smiled back.
The Ensign was completely out of it, as Najin looked on him with a curious smile. What was this guy up to he was sure not on the ball, but what was his game really.
It was as if he was in a trance a world of his own. He wrestled against himself and then he settled. Najin thought for a moment of the conversation he had with Brie. She wanted Najin to talk to the ensign to suss him out. Najin thought about it and decided that he needed to speak to Brie first, he would refrain from speaking to the ensign infact he would act as if he was also unconscious. Play his game....
Najin lay there, still, motionles, until the ensign was gone.
He attracted the attention of Jarrynn.
"Hey, Jarrynn, can you get me Brie, I need to talk to her. Do youhave any idea what the hell that was all about?"
"Sorry, Najin, I don't. Hey to you too, don't get any ideas about leaving the sickbay though, I'll break both of your legs if I have to!" She winked at Najinn.
He winked back.
He lay back and thought about what must begoing through that ensigns mind, he culdn't fathom it, but what ever it was it must be serious. What if he had been got to by the Cylons. Najinn knew of their interrogation technics he had been through that himself, it could break many a strong willed warrior, so what had happened to that ensign?
His mind then drifted to Amy, he prayed she was safe and that her mission was going well. There was no one he could thinkof better to have out there than Gold and Black squadrons, and Amy only added to the team. He was so proud of his crewmates, and he woshed he was out there with them.........
Brie
Brie received word from Jarrynn that Najin wanted to talk to her. Hoping that he had talked with Eirkihr, she wasted no time. Najin looked better each time that she saw him. The medical staff on the Callisto was the best that there was.
Najin looked a bit bored. Brie knew that he was probably also worried about Amy and the mission. Chances were that he didn't know about the asteroid field, and she wasn't going to tell him. "Did you talk to Eirikhr?" she asked.
"Talk?" Najin replied. "I wouldn't exactly say talk. Played dead is more like it." The confused look on Brie's face made Najin smile and pause before telling what had happened with Eirikhr.
"So what's your impression?" Brie asked.
"I wouldn't rule out your theory," Najin replied. "Something is going on in his mind. Something strange."
"Do you believe in alternate realities? Don't answer that, I don't want to know. He's hitting the sims later, if he does well he'll be cleared to fly. I'm going to have to talk to the commander about this, though. I don't want to assign him to anything without her input."
"You still want me to talk to him?" Najin asked.
"Wait until after the sims," Brie said. "Holodoc wants to check him out again, maybe then."
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: Some time ago in the MedLab Ensign Eirikhr is stricken by the Second War Of The Gods in his mind and the War about to happen out in the starsystem of the Pauvwell on that mission survey of Gold and Black Squadrons............it had seemed right, the pressures in Ensign Eirikhr's mind pounded at him.....more,more,morrrreeeee,mmmmmmooooooorrrrrreeeeeee.... .........he felt Lt. Head Nurse Holodoc and Lt. Nurse Jarryn help him up and move him onto a trolley bed next to whom he hoped was Lt. Najinn, Major Brie's friend........... ...........he felt consciousness slipping away as 2/3rds of his brain was nolonger his own as The Lord Gods Of Kobol and the Prince Of Darkness Diabolis squared off in the Starsystem of Pauvwell as they converged also in that part of his mind.........the other 1/3 would keep his body alive but in a completely commatose state which even the technology of This timeline Battlestar Callisto could not bring him out of, only one with a strong mind could help him and apparently it had to be this Lt. Najinn.
A clear communication came from Ensign Eirikhr's 2/3rd's mind into his one-third remaining part, ******"You know whom I am.......I am Adama," an very old man's voice spoke to Eirikhr. "You have evolved somewhat Ensign Eirikhr, now you must take the final step to your helping yourself.......you must think to Lt. Najinn. "Know this Lt. Najinn is Major Brie's friend and he was once a POW Caprican at the mercy of the Cylons.........he also has a choice to either help you or watch you die at the hands of Diabolis's Spirit Of Darkness battling Us here in the 2/3rds of your mind. Gold and Black Squadrons suffer the same fate as you do as does perhaps all on the Battlestar Callisto if Diabolis can effect their minds also. Please think to Lt. Najinn with all that is in you.....help him explore and grow as you have done!"*************************
**************Ensign Eirikhr throws self-doubt to the winds of space and starts to think to Lt. Najinn with the remaining 1/3rd of his mind, 'Lt. Najinn, I am Ensign Eirikhr and Lt. Amy has made herself my friend.....I am Emmissary to The Lord Gods Of Kobol, right now they are fighting a war in 2/3rds of my mind as I think to you out of the 1/3rd of the rest of my mind. Diabolis and The Lord Gods Of Kobol will soon be waging the same war in the Pauvwell System that they wage inside my head, Gold and Black Squadrons you care so much about may suffer my same fate if you do nothing............The Battlestar Callisto's crew may suffer the same fate. You must help me The Lord Gods Of Kobol tell me you can help me, please use your mind to learn and grow......have Lt. Holodoc hook you up with scan pads to the 1/3rd of my mind that is not effected and use your mind to support me to live and observe the ongoing war of The Gods, when You learn the game of which Diabolis plays join the Lord Gods Of Kobol to defeat Prince Of Darkness Diabolis and all will be well......if not I will die and others beside me.......Help!'******************

Najinn
"You still want me to talk to him?" Najin asked.
"Wait until after the sims," Brie said. "Holodoc wants to check him out again, maybe then."
"Yes, Maam!", "Hey Major, ooh that sounds good."
"I really think that the lad is having a serious mental episode, I just don't know. Myself, Jarrynn, and Holodoc were all watching him as he entered his trance like state. I mean Major, it was like an epiletic fit or something. It was bloody wierd."
"Hey, I am recovering really well, I mean really well. If I am a good boy, think you could ask the nice med people to let me loose, maybe Holodoc or Jarrynn could escort me on a, well, a consitutional walk around, might do me good. Go on boss, you know you wnat to."
Najin fluttered his big blues eyes at Brie, and smiled sweetly.......
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: With Ensign Eirikhr's commatose state of being his condition worsened, but he still kept thinking towards Lt. Najinn on the trolley bed next to him, Eirikhr knew it was Lt. Najinn.......the thoughts of Lt. Amy........ this individual was the right one the Lord Gods Of Kobol had told him about. The war for his 2/3rds mind had intensified.....he could feel his body weaken now....blood was dripping from his mouth, ears and nose, he could feel the viens and arteries of his body stand out in sharp relief on his skin, his heart pounded unnaturally........... .........his contact with the Lord Gods Of Kobol began to be communicated a bit weaker. "You must convince Lt. Najinn that we need his help..........," Adama intoned abit fainter, "Time is shortening and we cannot continue to support and keep you while we battle Diabolis within and without. Think harder to Lt. Najinn........you must it is your only chance!"
Brie
Najin fluttered his big blues eyes at Brie, and smiled sweetly.......
Brie smiled back at Najin. "Don't think for a moment that's going to work on me, I'm cute-proof. But I'll talk with the medical staff, see what I can do. I guess I owe you one, for saving my life and all."
Jarrynn
Jarrynn saw Najinn flutter his cute eyes at Brie and watched the Major smile and laugh at Najinn. Then Brie walked over to Jarrynn. "Lieutenant your frequent patient is requesting a bit of a walk if you think he can handle it. I told him his charm wouldn't work on me, that I would ask you and Holodoc." Jarrynn looked over at Najinn who was sticking his lower lip out and pouting like a little baby daggit. Jarrynn smiled. "Sure Major I will see if its ok." (thing is the Major may not fall for his charms but I sure do) thought Jarrynn. So to make sure it was ok, Jarrynn consouled with Holodoc. Jarrynn gave Najinn a lose pant suit to change into instead of the normal medical gowns. He looked at it and looked back and Jarrynn, who shook her head and giggled. "Najinn you flyboy! Unless you feel like sharing your arse with everyone on the Callisto I suggest you change!" she pulled the curtain around him so he had his privacy. She felt his hand grab onto her arm and she smiled at him. "You ready for your short walk? And that is what it will be a short one. Don't need you to over do it!" Najinn was about to protest but she gave him that look that said if he wanted to argue they could stay in the medlab instead. He smiled and took a few steps. Jarrynn kept her arm around him to give him support. They took some steps down the hall and with the cramp hallways Jarrynn moved to walking behind Najinn and holding him up from behind. Jarrynn stopped and started to giggle out of control. "What is so funny?" Najinn inquired. "It's just I just had a thought run through my mind." Jarrynn wiped the tears from her eyes that fell from laughing so hard. Her cheeks were flame red at this point. "Care to share with me?" Jarrynn looked around and looked down. "I was just thinking (giggle) that it's a good thing that we put you in this outfit (giggle) that right now I would be getting quite an eyeful right now!" With that she busted up laughing again and leaned on the wall to hold her up since she was laughing so hard! Not that she would mind but she knew he still thought of her as a friend. Still deep in her heart she dreaded the time that she would see him and Amy back together. Right now she was ok, since Amy was on mission, she didn't have to feel guilty spending time with Najinn then. But Jarrynn knew it was only one sided, and she knew unless a miracle happened, Najinn's heart will always belong to Amy. Jarrynn stopped laughing and grabbed a hold of Najinn and started to walk again. "Well lets get going again." "Are you ok Jarrynn?" Jarrynn looked into Najinn's eyes and began to wonder if maybe she should have let Holodoc take him for the walk but decided no since she wanted to spend what ever she could get from him. "Yeah fine." With that she tried to smile again. She hoped it worked.
CommanderEirikhr
From Ensign Eirikhr: Ensign Eirikhr felt himself growing weaker, commatose and bleeding Eirikhr knew he had a Centon or less inwhich to act. Lt. Najinn was not acting how Lord God Of Kobol Adama had told him he might, the connection with the LG Kobol seemed to be growing weaker. *** Adama appeared before Eirikhr in the 1/3rd of his mind that was still his own, "Ensign we must contact Lt. Najinn......at the moment he has walked off down the hallway out side of MedLab and isn conversing with Lt. Nurse Jarryn. You have the presense of the Spirit Of The Mind to do what you wish, we cannot maintain protection of you if you do not use what you were given as our Emmissary.....the battles are joined only bringing Lt. Najinn into your mind will help him understand the greater fight. It is your choice of course, Diabolis Prince Of Darkness could not stop you leaving his dimention and you had a minor victory against him. You are prepared Ensign Eirikhr and what you do now determines our fate, yours and a the very fate of the Battlestar Callisto and the crewmembers, Black and Gold Squadrons out there are in serious trouble, farewell Ensign I return to the fight!" With that Lord God Of Kobol Adama slowly fades away into the other 2/3rds of Eirikhr's mind in the eternal war of the Gods fighting within and without.***
Ensign Eirikhr now makes a choice that is quite unique. It is a simple one for some not so simple for others and not for him indeed, he gathers his reserves of Spirit Of Mind and focuses......the first mental call is to Commander Sheba on the bridge of the Battlestar Callisto, for a few microns Eirikhr disattaches himself from his body on the Trolley Bed and appears to Commander Sheba in spectral form for long enough to talk to her, "Commander Sheba By The Lord Gods Of Kobol I am their Emmissary. By your father's Kobolian Medallion Seal Crystal I ask you to see and hear me.....no one else here can, I am in the MedLab Sickbay stricken and Commatose and fighting a war in my mind within and the Gods Of Kobol fight The Minons of Diabolis Without.....I will soon die if I am not helped. There is one called Lt. Najinn of Security, he will make a visit to my mind to help me, I will draw him there. You must help too or we will all succume to Prince Of Diabolis Of Darkness." ***Ensign Eirikhr's spirit form vanishes back to his body and he now uses his Spirit Of Mind Powers to "walk beside Lt. Najinn and Lt. Nurse Jarryn and he probes both their minds, he finds Lt. Najinn's brain wave electromagnetic aura and focuses in on it. Now concentrating on it fully, Eirikhr seperates part of Lt. Najinn's Spirit Of Mind and leaves the rest in Najinn talking to Lt. Nurse Jarryn, he envelopes Najinn in an Golden-White glow and zaps Lt. Najinn's part Spirit Of Mind into his own 1/3rd of mind that Ensign Eirikhr is standing in. Eirikhr's Brain looks much like 3 large thunderclouds touching one another, the first two are at the back third of his brain dark, black and dense, forked spears of lightening flashing between them, the other is merely greyish and clear....like dense fog but much "brain matter", Lt. Najinn now materializes beside Ensign Eirikhr upon which Eirikhr merely looks at him amused and says, "Welcome to my brain Lt. Najinn.....are you ready to learn and grow or are you here to die with me, the choice is up to you? Lt. Amy is depending on you to save her, she recently talked to me and is my good friend."
LucianG
On the bridge, Commander Sheba continued working. She had a strange feeling for a few moments, but, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she focused her attention elsewhere on her duties.
Ensign Eirikhr's attempt, whether in his own mind or in reality, to reach her mind had failed.
LucianG
Commander Sheba stood on the bridge, looking into the expanse of the Pauvwellian system through the bridge view ports. The electronic shielding had been properly adjusted and was now doing a good job of deflecting the myriad particles and asteroids that would have slammed into the sides of the Callisto, so the forward viewport shields had been opened to give the bridge officers a better view of the system. Still, at this distance, Star Pauvwell was a small reddish ball, casting little light on the top of the Callisto as it skirted around the edge of the system toward the presumed jump point for the next system. On their current course, the Callisto would approach no closer to the star, assuming the Vipers returned shortly as expected.
She checked the chrono again. It was already 10:75, and she was tired, but she knew that her Warriors flying those Vipers on the survey mission had to be nearing exhaustion. Unlike many missions, there would be no time for short nap cycles along the way. Falling asleep on this one would result in missing one of those flying objects of death, the asteroids that would pulverize a ship in less than 1/100th of a micron. Surely they would be returning soon. Surely....
"Lieutenant Aegina, any word on the medical status of Lieutenant Colonel Charybdis?" she asked.
"Nothing recently, Ma'am. He was resting at last report. Doc was running some tests, but I haven't seen any results come to your attention. I'll contact the Med Lab immediately," she said.
"Thank you, Lieutenant. I'll be in my Ready Room."
While in the room, she dictated orders to the Squadron Leaders, that were soon transmitted to them.
"Gold Squadron and Black Squadron Leaders will each assign a flight wing of six Warriors in Vipers in case we need to blast our way through the asteroid belt to reach the jump point. Mission is on stand-by for now. If all is as we believe, mission goes active and we go for jump as soon as final calculations are completed after the survey mission team returns. If not," or she thought, if they fail to return at all, "we'll seek alternate jump points to escape this system."
"In addition, Gold, Black, and Silver Spar Squadrons will have a stand-by wing of six Warriors in Vipers ready to go at a moments notice to assist the primary teams."
"Squadron Leaders are to have their assignments posted and teams ready by 02:50 tomorrow morning. We anticipate that the Callisto will be in jump position by 04:00 IF the survey mission checks out as anticipated. If it does not, Staff Meeting will be called immediately on their return to study other options." As she was afixing her electronic imprint, she thought, "Majors, Captain, get some rest while you can. We may need it soon."

I had left Med Lab after being checked over by Doc BKJ, it looked as if I would just have to ride this illness out. I was feeling much better overall, just this nagging pain in my throat. It made me feel as if the back of my mouth were on fire. Didn't make things any easier, though.
I received a comm message that Cmdr. Sheba was looking for me. I quickly left for the bridge. The mission was going on, but we still had a lot left to do to get out of this system.
I coughed a bit, then cringed with the pain. I tried to put it out of my mind as I stepped onto the bridge reporting for duty...
LucianG
Lucian was asleep when he received the message from the bridge about the need for a new mission team. His head was pounding, his eyes were blurred (mental note: go see Nurse Jarrynn tomorrow), and he wasn't sure who was interested, so he put out a call for volunteers on the Black Squadron Bulletin Board for anyone in the squadron who was not involved in the current survey mission. Volunteers were to contact him on the board by 01:50 the following morning (Note to Black Squadron members: make that 6 AM ET, Tuesday, 12/4/01, for our Earthbound players). Six would be chosen for the mission, and another six would be chosen for back-up.
He left a special private message for Lieutenant Stadia, since she had been scheduled to be in charge of the original backup mission for the survey team. The potential new mission lead was hers if she wanted it.
Lucian climbed back in bed, hoping that the headache was only due to eyestrain, and that sleep would take care of the problem. Soon, he was once again sound asleep.
Stadia
Hears a beep on the comm panel. She gets up and looks at the panel. She sees it is a message from Major Lucian. She hits the replay button.
"Lt Stadia, we need to have a flight team from Black Squadron standing by. Since you were replaced on the last mention, your upto being flight leader. Let me know."
Turns off the comm device and grabs her jacket. she heads out to the flight deck to check her viper and talk to Major Lucien.
She enters the flight deck and moves to her viper. She runs her hand along the outside of the viper looking for flaws. She thinks about the challenge she faces.
After she inspects her viper forr an hour, she heads out to Major Lucien's office. She stands at the door to his office. She knocks on the door.
LucianG
A very tired Major Lucian was notified that Lieutenant Stadia was in the Black Squadron Office. He rose from the bed, his headache lessened but still present, slipped on his clothes, grabbed his boots, and tiptoed out of the barracks to the office, attempting to keep from waking the other sleepers.
"Lieutenant Stadia. Good evening, morning, whatever time it is," said Lucian. "Come on in. Let's talk. I'd offer you a cup of coffee but that stuff they're serving now is really the pits. Peach pits, someone suggested, but the look of that stuff I saw yesterday morning at breakfast with Brie, I'm just glad I don't drink it."
They had a seat at Lucian's desk. He brought up the monitor, punched a few buttons, showing her the diagram of the asteroid belts, and the suspected location of the jump point to the Axcian system. He said, "The mission is not confirmed...yet. Commander Sheba wants to see the information the survey team brings back, but she really doesn't see another way right now. If the asteroids are as thick as we think they are, we're basically going to have to blast our way through them. Commander Sheba wants the teams ready at a moments notice, but she's not going to pull the trigger on this until after the staff meeting during first shift. I'll assign the team in the morning after everyone has a chance to volunteer, but you're Lead...if you'll go get some rest." He stifled a yawn as he rose from the chair. "If you don't have any questions, I'm going back to bed. If you do, the answers may have to wait for Commander Sheba anyway, so I'm still going back to bed," he said with another yawn. "Plan to attend the Core Command meeting in the morning. We'll both find out more then."
They walked together back toward the Black Squadron barracks, talking as they walked. When they came to the door to the women's quarters, Lucian said, "Goodnight, Lieutenant. Sleep well and get plenty of rest. Out there, I suspect you'll need it."

It was really thick with asteriods now, as if it wasn't before, but now it was nearly impossible to get any closer. I eased off the stick and brought my viper to a near standstill. Even as such I still had to keep shifting to avoid collisions that would certainly be fatal.
I thought about Mara's message, and went through my scanner information again. Way to misread the data, Amy. My readings of an increased content of metals in the asteriods was correct, but it was REFINED metals, not raw ore that I had picked up. I should have realized the difference before. Had I realized that earlier, that I had picked up readings of wreakage out here, I could have held the team back. Instead, we had ventured needlessly farther in than we should have gone. Nice call, Amy. Great mission leader you turned out to be.
"It must have been huge" I said to Black Leader Anubis over my comlink, referring to the ship debris that spread in and around the asteriods.
"Agreed" Anubis replied. I did an analysis of the metals, and was relieved that it did not check out with composition records of the Galactica. She could never have brought the fleet in here anyway.
I concentrated on the scans of the gravity well. My scanner had been working to separate the readings, to sort the information and to give me the purest data possible on the existance of the well and it's jump point. What finally came back should have made me happy, but it was a mixed feeling that came over me.
"Black Leader" I said into the com, "I have finally sorted the scanner information. Looks like we have a true jump point here, but I don't think it's going to be of any use to us, given the asteriod density of the area. But that's up to the brass back home. Let's get back with the information and let them figure out what's next."
I switched to full com link with all the vipers. "Guys and gals, we've got what we came for. Let's get back in one piece. Ease out the way we came in."
I began to bring my viper around, and could see the others begin to do the same. I had one more message to send. I flipped to direct channel to JustinB. "Hey" I said, "How's that canopy? Are you going to be okay?"
BSGRose
Rose was very tired and she would be glad when everyone got back to the Callisto. This had been one long and hard mission and she had a feeling that she would have trouble walking once she got out of the viper since she had been in it for so long and her muscles were so tensed up at that very moment. While she was manouvering her viper so that she could follow Lt Kris back towards the Callisto, Rose started thinking about Hawke some. She hadn't seen or heard anything out of him since that afternoon when she beat him at Triad. She wondered if he was even still interested in her or if he was just using her for what ever scheme he had planned next. Only way to find out that would be to wait until she got back to the Callisto and see what she could find out. One thing was for sure, she would want to Holodoc the first chance she got to see what she thought about things.
JustinB
After an exhausting mission, the call came over to head back to the Callisto. Just as he was starting to feel regret that it was over, JustinB recieved a message from Lt Amy. It was a sincere message but once again, someones attention was still diverted momenterally and they were still in the asteroid field.
After a moment it came to him. It was a rare moment of CLARITY. He was now part of a family. They were his brothers and sisters. The attitude he always had was because he did not have real family so to speak, as his was killed in the destruction of Caprica. He knew he wouldn't like everyone, but it was time he let people get close to him. To stop being a loner.
"Ensign JustinB, this is Lt Amy, How's that canopy? Are you going to be okay?" Lt Amy said with concern in her voice this time.
"JustinB here, yes the canopy is fine," He said with a smile, "and as for myself, things couldn't be better."
Just as long they did not need him to blast away these rocks, should Commander Sheba decide to use this Jump Point, JustinB decided he would buy the first round at the O'Club.
A thought came to him so he switched his Com link to Lt Anubis, "Sir this is Ensign JustinB, It just come to me. Should there be an attempt to blast a path to the Jump point for the Callisto, the canopy's of the vipers should be reinforced so they don't suffer the same fate as mine or worse."
"Good thinking Ensign, maybe there was a lesson to be learned on this mission," Lt Anubis said. With that JustinB placed his Viper in the Wingman position and went over his moment of clarity.
MedievalSong
I sat there and shifted in the viper. I was tired of getting tossed around and bumped into. I was thinking that my bunk was sounding really good at this point. I looked to my left to see if Rose was hanging in there with me. We still had to shoot some asteroids here and there since they shifted with the pull of the gravity well. Everytime my viper got binged by another piece of rock, I cringed. I had to still keep my witts about me if we were going to make it back in one piece and alive. All I wanted was a nice long nap, a shower and to see my favorite guy. That is if he wasn't too busy with the new trainees. The closer we got to "home" the better it was looking. Yup that nap was sounding good. To curl up with my little furball Galen for a few winks was really good sounding. I squirmed again. After that nap I just wanted to spend some time with Nat again to see him again, that was better sounding than the nap if I wasn't so worn from fighting to keep out of the path of the asteroids.

"Lieutenant, I'm telling you, they'll be here when they get here," said the Flight Officer on duty in Beta Bay. "So far, we've not seen any sign of them, but if all went reasonably as expected, they should be back here within the next two or three centars. You look like you're about to fall over. Shouldn't you be getting some rest?"
"I'll go take a nap IF you'll promise to call me as soon as you get any word. I want to be here when she gets back," Lieutenant Nat said to the smiling Flight Officer.
"Aye, aye, Sir," he said with a grin. "First thing we hear, we'll let you know."
"Thanks," said Nat as he headed regretfully toward his quarters. His Frodian roommate was probably in full snore by now, so if he wasn't really tired, he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. A couple of centons later, even before the door opened, he could hear the windstorm within. Before he climbed in bed, he nudged the Frodian Warrior to get him to turn slightly, giving him a reprieve from the noise. He smiled, thinking, "Peace and quiet, at las--"
The snort from the other bunk cut through the air, leaving his thought hanging, with a curse appended. He pulled the pillow over his head to try to reduce the now resumed noise, said a prayer for Kris and the others, then pulled the pillow tighter as he lay awake, trying to drown out the noise.

"Gold Leader, the debris appears to have been several large ships. Origin, unknown." Anubis pulls his viper around. "Ensign, while reinforcing the viper canopies is a good idea, and one I would advocate, we face one pressing problem. If you had tasted the food recently, you would notice that the Callisto is in short supply. If we were to have been able to resupply, then we would. However, we nust make do with what we have. Allow room between our vipers, but not too much. Good. Now, take care, and prepare to make use of that environment suit if needbe. I will see you back aboard the Callisto."
Lt. Anubis Black Squadron.
JustinB
With all the excitement of the mission, not to mention the crack in his canopy, Ensign JustinB forgot about the shortages the Callisto and crew faced. With that thought, he paid extra attention on what was going on so he did not hit any more asteroid debris. He did not want to lose a Viper on his first mission.
So as he trailed behind Lt Anubis, JustinB made himself as comfortable as possible. He also for safety sake, made sure his envirosuit was done up correctly should he have to eject from his viper. He wasn't expecting to, but better safe than sorry.
MedievalSong
I sat there and sighed in relief as the Callisto got closer,
"Well Rose we are home." "Home?" "Yup. There's the Callisto." "Any plans Kris?" "Yup sleep, sleep, eat and see Nat and Kellyn! You?" "I think the same cept I want to see Hawke." "You two an item?" "Yup." "Is that all I am gonna get out of you Lt?" "Yup." I laughed. "You think they are going to send us back out anytime soon, Rose?" "I hope not. I could use some sleep." "I second that thought. Well lets put these birds down."
With that we landed with out a problem. I saw the tech looking over the vipers. He glared at me. "Just couldn't keep from getting hit could you?" "Actualy no, There's one coming in that has a cracked canopy. So just be happy we didn't lose any!" The tech smiled and watched me and Rose head out. I looked around to see if Nat was there.
JustinB
With the mission completed, seeing the Callisto filled Ensign JustinB with relief. JustinB prepared his Viper for landing in beta landing bay. 'Thanks to Luck and the Lords of Kobol I made it back withjout my canopy giving way' he thought to himself. After getting permission to land he set the viper down.
As he climbed out of cockpit a tech looked at the canopy. "Sir," the tech said, "another strike on the canopy and you would of been an addition to the asteroid field. Just hope you are not asked to blow to go on the mission coming up."
"Just as long as they give me a time for a quick ale and a few centars sleep," was JustinB's reply. The first thing he did was get out of the envirosuit. After that he took a closer look at the crack and thought about that ale. 'Well my first mission and I survived. Things can only get better,' he thought to himself. With that he headed in the direction of the O'Club.
Walksallroads
Anubis puts his hand on Justin's shoulder before he can get too far in the wrong direction. "Debriefing is that way. I understand that you have had a harrowing experience, but you must shake it off. I can feel your shoulder vibrate."
JustinB
JustinB, preoccupied with wanting to relax from the mission, headed toward the O' Club. He had taken a few steps when someone grabbed his shoulder. Lt Anubis reminded him about the briefing. "Sorry Sir, just going over the mission and my close call," he said walking in the right direction, "It is an experience I plan to learn from." They then joined up with Lt's Kris and Rose.
Walksallroads
"Remember, it is not the Cylons that will kill you, it is your own fears. Face them, and you will become stronger." They enter the briefing room, and it get's started.
Amy81
After the debriefing, I made my way over to Anubis, and asked for a moment as the rest of the warriors shuffled out. I studied the Black Squadron pilot as we waited, trying to get an idea of what he was all about. I wouldn't have even approached him, except my own insecurities about my performance on the mission had left me with unanswered questions.
We were finally alone. He looked at me, waiting. Where to start? "Anubis" I began, "I saw how you navigated out there. Hell of a skill you have. I get the feeling you are way ahead of the rest of us in many areas."
"I made some mistakes out there", I continued. "I misread data, and it brought us all in a lot deeper into the asteriod field than was necessary." I sighed, and decided to be blunt. "I could have used more support out there. I just have to know, is it something to do with me? Being female? Rival Squadron? My personality?" I wanted it to be something trivial. I didn't want this obviously advanced warrior to tell me I didn't measure up in his eyes. Or was it all in my head? Was I just paranoid about my skills to the point that I thought another warrior was holding back on me?
And why did it even matter to me what he thought? Because somehow I got the feeling that the bar gets raised a notch or two when Anubis is involved. I wanted to think I could somehow do the same if I studied and learned from him. If I could somehow get close enough to earn his trust and get him to open up.

"Everyone makes mistakes. For me, flying in the viper is my nature. It is what I had been created to do. I am only twenty Yahren old, but I have been in a Viper for most of that time, for as long as I had been able to coordinate my movements and understand the spoken language. When in the viper, the univers seems to slow down some. That is why I can navigate the way I can. I know the specifications of the viper, and am able to push it to it's limits. Ma'at, Persephone, Arianrhod, they are able to push them farther because they are effected by the centrifical force less than I am. As are you. Get some rest, sort yourself. I will be doing the same." On that note, Anubis turns, and heads to the Black Squadron barraks, to type up his report, and sleep.
Hawke14
"What are we looking for,anyway?" I ask. "I don't know.. I think it's called Anti-Hydrous Ketomethalyine." Winnie replies. "Well, where do you want to start?" I asked her. "How about we start with the Security Officer's Quarters?" she suggested. "Ok,I'm game." I said. We walked down to the SOQ and started scanning the uniforms... Winnie got about 6 lockers into it and so far nothing. But when she got to my locker the scanner started chirping like there's no tomorrow.. "Hawke.. Your locker's infected..." "What?" I asked. "Your locker is loaded with the chemical." I sighed and told her to go ahead...I start my sweep on the other side of the SOQ. I get to the 4th locker and my scanner starts chirping. "Winnie, I think I found an infected locker...." It was the locker of Officer Sckutzi. Winnie walks over and looks at the scanner. "Yup it's infected alright. But not as bad as yours.. Good work." She goes back to the locker she was scanning. "No,this can't be.." she mutters.. I notice the scanner is chirping at another locker. "What?" I ask. Before I get a chance to go over and see what she was talking about she runs out and yells behind her "Keep scanning.. I'm going to report this to Skon.."
Phlandor_Xixran
Arriving at Lt. BatGal's Quarters/Office I sounded her monitor. Gettign no reply I leave a message for her that I have been there and was hoiping to get my bunk and Locker assignment. I also inform her that I will found in one of three locations. Checking in at sickbay, Reporting to Major Lucian, or in the Squadron Rec Facilities awaiting her. *sighing deeply* I heft my duffle over my shoulder and head down the quiet passageway. Wondering quietly where she may be if I am to report to her and how much different this BS is to others. The sound of my boots echoing in the distance and anterior of me I remember my first assignment as a Colonial Warrior. And how exhilarating it felt to be in uniform and standing before my family on Scorpia. I now have that smae feeling rush yet with sadness that my family cannot see me now as a Colonial Warrior/Pilot. I find myself stnading outside the Medbay door, laughing at my force of habit. "Your first duty when reporting to any Duty Assignment is to report directly to the Med facilities," my Drill Instructors voice sonded in my mind, "gotta make sure you are fit for duty, and it doesnt hurt to sie up them perty Nurses either" and then he winked at us as we chortled. Passing into the Med Bay I announce my presence; "Ensign Phlandor reporting as ordered to med bay for my physical exam." Standing at attention, unslinging my duffle and setting my flight bag by my feet.

Holodoc2000
Holodoc was busy working on some paperwork when she heard someone come into MedLab & mention that they were there for a physical. She couldn't help but smile & giggle to herself a little when she heard how formal the person was being in announcing themselves. Holodoc got up from her desk where she was sitting & walks out to where she finds Ensign Phlandor.
"Hello Ensign," Holodoc says, "I see that you are here for your physical to get cleared for flight statis." Yes ma'am Phlandor replies. "Ensign," Holodoc says, "you must be one of the recent graduates of the Academy. You don't have to be so formal around her. Those of us who work here in MedLab try to keep things as easy going as possible when things are slow. About the only time we get real technical on things is when we are treating injuried Warriors & during an emergency. Lets go on over here to one of the exam area's & we can get your physical done. Then that way it will be one less thing for you to worry about." Sounds good to me, replies Ensign Phlandor. "Oh, in case you didn't already know, I am Lt Holodoc, the Head Nurse." Nice to meet you Lt Holodoc, I am Phlandor, the Ensign replies.
While Phlandor got up on the exam table, Holodoc got together a few items that she was going to need for the physical. "Now Ensign Phlandor," Holodoc begins, "this should not take to long. I will make this as painless as possible for you."
30 centons later.........
"Alright Ensign," Holodoc says, "I am done. You are cleared for full active duty. I will do the needed reports & let your Squadron Leader know that you are ready to go." "Thank you Lt Holodoc," Phlandor says as he gets down from the exam table.
As Ensign Phlandor was heading out of MedLab, Holodoc calls out to him, "Ensign Phlandor. The rest of the medical staff & I are working on putting together a little talent show to try & boost moral some on board the Callisto. Would you be interested in doing something in the show?"
Brie
Attention all members of Gold Squadron:
I am accepting volunteers for the upcoming mission. Please either post your intentions or contact me privately. If all positions aren't filled by volunteers, any open spots will be assigned.
CommanderEirikhr
Major Brie
Dear Major Brie: I volunteer to fly wing for whomever you choose to fly lead Viper Pilot, I owe Lt. Amy some help and Major Lucian gives me a lot of confidence and support, the group of 6 Cadets I flew with in the Sims are a great group, they can fly with me any day......I know you and I have had our reasons to sort-a be out of sorts but I trust you muchly because of your Alter Brie whom helped me in another time and place....I do not expect to be an leader right now, I need seasoning and hard mission flying time to hone my skills but I offer my assistance for this standby mission as wingman Viper Pilot, Ensign First Class Graduate and I am at your command if you give the word Major Brie.
Sincerely Ensign Eirikhr
Brie
Brie went to the med lab to look for Lt. Holodoc. While she was there she peeked into Najin's room. He didn't say anything, just gave her a thumbs-up. Brie smiled at him, knowing that he had been able to go for his walk. "We're even now," she said and left the room before he could reply.
Seeing Holodoc, Brie approached her. "Ensign Eirikhr just got through with the sims. They're having dinner, I've sent word for him to report to you when he's done, so expect him in about a centar. I hope that's okay."
"That should be fine," Holodoc said.
"Listen," Brie started, "I'm not really sure what I should be doing with this guy. Nat said that he did well in the sims, so eventually I'll have to assign him a viper. But I also heard what happened here earlier. It was discribed to me that it was like a seisure. That really worries me. Do you think that's a one-time-only occurance, or could it happen again when he's in a viper, out defending our lives?"
Phlandor_Xixran
As I leave the MedLab the Head Nurse Lt. Holodoc asks me about participating in a Talent Show. Turning sharply about on my heel. "Sorry Maam, I have no real talent to speak of except my skills as a Warrior" I reply, " I have been a Warrior since the age of seven when I entered the Academy." Thinking about the subject, I get the notion of something. "If you are looking for it I can tell some old tales told me by my Grandfather, of the Lords of Kobol and the Lost Tribe." I slide my duffle over my right shoulder, and re-aquire my flight bag.
"Well I shall take it up with the commity but we were hoping more for entertainment rather than stories," replied the Lt. "but we will keep you in mind, who knows" shrugging her shoulders and taking her pad back in hand. I exit the MedLab and head out the corridorto make my way to Beta Bay. My footsteps echoing once again off the empty corridor, taking my mind back. I remember when I was just out of the Academy on my first assignment and had pulled Night Watch. My first assignment was the Bellerephon, the Battlestar from my homeworld Scorpia. I was on Night Watch and found the shift interesting yet lonely. Walking the corridors watching for what? an attack and back then I laughed at myself for such sill notions. Yet still proud of my award of rank to Corporal, but I was young and Idealistic. Joging back into the present I think of how I was on Scorpia when the Bellerephoon was gunned down, and how startled I was when I actually was enraged. Well now I am here on the TCBS Callisto, turning the corridor I run into the young warrior on his Night Watch. "Greetings young Warrior I am Ens. Phlandor and I am looking for Beta Bay." Looking up from the Station screen "Evening Ens. Phlandor I am Sgt. Winculas of Fleet Security," she replied. "May I ask your business in Beta Bay?" I put my duffle to the floor, and retrieved my Orders. " I am reporting to Maj. Lucian as ordered Sgt. Winculas" trying not to let the nerves show. "You will find him down the corridor and take the second left and all the way to the end" stated the Sgt. as she handed back my odrders. "Thank You Sgt. and have an uneventful evening," I stated, and made my way down the corridor.
