Entry 4

Those next few hours seemed to be the longest in the history of the colonies. We set course back for Cimtar but because of fuel constraints we had to detour to a refueling outpost. Even then we didn't make it. Well we almost didn't make it. Actually Triton thought we had gotten away from the Cylons and we didn't have to worry about them any more. but you Ara, you now Triton, as soon as he says something it happens. Well this was the same.

Chapter 4: The Ganymede

"Orion, you know we thought you had been killed back there," Tritons voice broke the silence in Orions Starhound Cockpit. "You know something Triton? So did I. Then the Cavalery came to the rescue. Thanks guys I owe you big time," Orions voice betrayed his emotions. "Cut the Chatter guys," Rainer the Commanding officer for Red Squadron, Battlestar Atlantia, Voice called back, "You all do realize that we are a long way from anywhere, and deep within Cylon space." "Come on Rainer," Tritons voice responded, "After what we have been through the least you could do is ease up a bit." "Lt. Untill we are back on board the Atlantia, I am not easing up one bit. Remember what Col. McCain said, before his Transfer, WE ARE THE BACKBONE, without us there is no fleet." The pilots fell into a silence that lasted for several Centons, "Do you think he made it?" "Lets' not even think about that Ensign."

"Captain," Tritons voice crackled, "I am picking up a distress signal, Piping it through now." "This is Colonial .........Ganymede.........der Attack by Cylon......es.. NEED IMMEDIA....stance. MAYDAY...MAYDAY. Does any....ne read m..." "Altering course to intercept," Orion, and Tritons voices came out at the same time. "Negative Lt's we don't have the fuel," Rainer contermanded them. Orion looked out at the Viper beside him and say Triton," Sorry Captain? What did you say? Your message is breaking up." Rainer looked out and say that both Triton's and Orion's Fighters were breaking off from the other fighters. "Rainer to all Vipers alter course to intercept Ganymede." Rainer flipped several switches and brought the message still being relayed to them. "Ganymede this is Captain Rainer, Red Squadron Battlestar Atlantia, do you read?" "Captain thank the lords of Kobol. We read you." "WE are on a intercept course. ETA is 5 centar, can you hold out? "Yes we.....," static broke the transmissin.

"There they are guys. Lets do it." The Cylon patrol broke when the vipers came in sensor range, and moved toward the Warriors. Rainer gave the order but no one was listening, "Break and fire." The Vipers moved into position, but the cylons began firing immediatly And of Course The vipers returned fire.
