As the four warriors settled into the Shuttle, Edan looked over at Guinevere. "Take the Co-Pilot seat. I'm going to help the Captain Secure Plwel and I'll be back up before launch. Your Viper is being ferried back to the Galactica. Unfortunately a Cadet is flying it, but he shouldn't do more then launch and Land."
"No problem Edan. I think we're going to need to talk to Gold Squadron's leader. I don't think I'm in the personnel Computers here. And I need to learn as much about the fleet as possible. I just don't know much about any of this. Frack, I don't even know how many civilian ships are out there. And of what type."
"Don't worry, we'll get you settled. I'm sorry you were taken from everything you know, but I can be honest when I say, everything you knew was destroyed by the Cylons. They didn't leave much."
Edan places a hand on her shoulder and squeezes. a little jesture, but one he hopes really reassures her.
"Captain, we are ready for you and Lt Plwel here. We do have a bunk set up if he prefers to rest more on the shuttle ride back. or we can secure him into one of the seats here. Once he's secure, I'll just need you to step up front and check in with Galactica Core control for launch clearence. They probably still expect you to be flying this tub. I'd like to avoid the questions and get everyone home that much sooner."

"Captain, we are ready for you and Lt Plwel here. We do have a bunk set up if he prefers to rest more on the shuttle ride back. or we can secure him into one of the seats here....."
"Thank you Edan, I can secure myself....I am fine...really. I have done enough lying down. I prefer to sit." Plwel immediately responded. He pulled himself away from the smal group and entered the shuttle where he sat in a seat in the very back corner opposite the door and strapped himself in awaiting launch....trying to just clear his mind of everything....One thing was for sure though....he didn't believe his squadron mates were being completely honest with the details of his Viper accident. But he intended to find out for himself.
Plwel also thought of how he could ever thank Guinevere for saving his life since he recently learned she was the one who saved his life listening to Edan. He made point to ensure she was properly recognized for her heroism.
"I can't wait to get back to the Callisto..." Plwel said to himself under his breathe as he waited....

After clearing the shuttle for launch, Logan turned over the operations to Edan and Guinevere and made her way to the back of the shuttle, strapping herself in across from Plwel and watching him closely.
"Alright, where do you want to start? Hush? Your parents? Or that your Viper was obviously sabotaged and you have to have guessed that already since I know you didn't take off without getting the all clear from the crew?"
Logan crossed her arms and waited for Plwel's reply. She was distinctly uncomfortable and knew he was too. But she also knew that once they got back to the Callisto she'd have to check in with Skyler and start prep for the recon mission. So if they were going to talk about any of this, now was their only chance.
Briefly, she glanced towards the forward section and heard Edan and Guinevere talking quietly. She sighed and said, loud enough for them to hear, "Ensign Edan, I'll be going over your findings with Plwel now. If you need anything, just yell." She pulled out her portable datapad and scrolled through the contents to give herself something to focus on while she waited for Plwel's response.

"Alright, where do you want to start? Hush? Your parents? Or that your Viper was obviously sabotaged and you have to have guessed that already since I know you didn't take off without getting the all clear from the crew?"
Lt Plwel looked up at her confused. He thought he had everything in order...in balance in his life. He thought he knew exactly what everything was and the road he was traveleing in regards to anything that meant something in his life. All that has seemed to melt away now as Capt logan spoke to him. "Well Captain...Someone is trying to kill me, and I have lost my parents, and from the looks of it probably my girlfriend all in the past 48 centars. I don't really think things could get much worse for me at the moment. So why don't we just start with Lt Hush and get that one out of the way. I will deal with the situation with my parents, and I am sure a full detailed investigation will be conducted on the sabotage of my Viper and who had access to it....even if I have to do it myself. Besides, this Hush conversation is long overdue, and I have calmed down as I said from my initial reaction to really listen to you objectively and have a "conversation" with you about it...hopefully without it getting out of hand. Please....." Plwel motioned with his hand to Logan to continue as he sat there quietly and attentively and listed to what she had to say.....
As Plwel sat there waiting for a response, Capt Logan just sat there looking down at the data pad in her hands and glancing up for a micron at Lt Plwel. She really wanted to talk to him about all of this, but still the words escaped her. She still wasn't ready, and with all Plwel had been through, she wasn't sure he could handle it at the moment like she had originally thought seeing him so unhappy and upset sitting in his seat.
She continued to glace between the datapad and Plwel, trying to keep her composure as a flood of various emotions came upon her with thoughts of both Hush and Plwel filling her head....and again of all the events that had happened since the rift mission. Logan surely didn't want Plwel to see her like this as she spoke to him. "I just can't do this yet...now is not the time" Logan thought to herself. As Logan went to say something to Plwel, she hear Edan's voice from the forward cockpit saying "Captain, we are on final approach to the Callisto and have recieved permission to land in Beta bay." "Thank you Ensign." Logan replied as she stood up. She looked at Plwel once more as he looked back at her and briefly said "This will have to wait for another time Lieutenant. We arrived back quicker than I thought we would." Logan laid the datapad at Plwel's side and turned to walk up towards the cockpit as the shuttle started its landing procedure. They were back home on the Callisto.......

I glanced at the monitor on the bridge, routine news mainly, but then one item caught my eye, Gold Squadron elections had been completed.
Major Skyler had been reelected to his position as CO of the squadron. "He's a good man," I thought, "the squadron is in good hands."

Edan, still sitting in the cockpit of the Shuttle made a few final adjustments and brought the ship in for a landing on the Callisto. He followed all the bay signals and shut down all systems in the designated spot. Popping the hatches, Edan looked into the bakc and signaled that it was time to disenbark. Signalling to Guinevere, Edan knew their first stop ahd to be the bridge to get Guinevere's Status updated. Something that sholdn't take too long.

Commander Sheba arrived on the bridge. She turned to me at the main control unit, "Colonel, all coordinates set?"
"Yes, Ma'am. Galactica will move to the point and we'll take up the rear position on the fleet," I responded.
She nodded. "Good. When the fleet begins to move out, launch Black squadron to take up patrols to the rear. I'll be in my quarters."
"All done, Commander." I was glad that we would be moving again and the entire time travel event was past or was it? No, in the end, I'm not sure any of that really happened. Was it all a dream? Maybe.
All I knew was that we were all together again and moving forward on the journey toward earth. Except...where was Amy???
