Entry 5

The Ganymede Ara, a Colonial Freighter, Lightly armed, with no chance against a Cylon Patrol, Well at least that was what we were taught back at the acadamy. No chance yet there they were holding there own against three Cylons. At least it was only three. Otherwise we probably wouldn't be here by now. There we were 6 Pilots in damaged Vipers, against 3 Cylon Raiders, Any body in a right mind would have fled right then but you now the Cylons Ara. They have no minds.

Chapter 5: Ganymede Saved: A New Begining.

"Their coming right for us," Rainers voice, held cool, and calm. "BREAK AND FIRE" The six Vipers broke out of formation and formed up 2 on 1, The cylons outnumbered came on forward. The 3 Cylons fired a volley at the oncoming Vipers.one of the shots distengrating Red 9, Travis Screamed as his wingman died, then the Cylons were past the Vipers. When the Cylons turned all 3 formed up on Travis, "Orion to Travis, they are trying to form a pin wheel on you." "I cant shake them! Somebody get them off of me!" Orion moved into position then he pressed his firing button, Sparks filled his Cockpit, He peeled away, "Orion to Rainer..." Just then the bulk of the Ganymede, pulled up between the Viper and the raider, It's turbolasers Firing, Blasting the lower of the three Cylons to pieces the pinwheel Broken split off. The two remaining Cylons turned and began making runs on the Ganymede, "Triton, this is Oneias I got the high, if you got the low. Rainers Viper came in from opposite and fired destroying the lead Raider. The final Cylon Broke off his run and headed for deep space. Only to be stopped by Lt Travis, meeting him half way. "Triton, Next time you guys want to pick your targets make sure I don't get there first." "Understood Captain" Rainer's voice then changed slightly, "Ganymede, you are clear of Cylons." "This is Captain Trane, of the Ganymede. Thank you Captain. If there is anything we can do..." "Well Captain we are running low on fuel, and need a few repairs...." "Say no more Captain, Opening shuttle bay. Land when ready."

Rainer and Orion climbed down out of their Cockpit's onto the Freighters floor, Trane came forward, "Welcome to the Ganymede." he said, Rainer steped forward as the remaing Vipers, came in to land. "Glad to be aboard, Captain." Come on Lets go to the Bridge. You can relax there. "My second officer will escort your pilots to the Bridge when they land." "Lead the Way," Ranier answered. And he and Orion Folowed him to the Lift.
