“Sir the Cylons arrived in system five minutes ago and are maneuvering as<br />
expected.” Colonel Hohensee reported.<br />
“Good. Contact Commander Magus on the secure net and patch him through<br />
here.” Commanded Admiral Gastineau as he turned to Tajalle. “Prepare the flagship for<br />
combat jump.”<br />
“Combat jump, aye sir.” Tajalle responded. “X.O., begin jump prep.”<br />
“Sir, I have Commander Magus on the line for you.” Said Lieutenant Arispe from<br />
the Operations station.<br />
“Colonial Six, this is Galactica Actual.” Gastineau heard as he picked up the<br />
handset.<br />
“Galactica Actual, this is Colonial Six. You are clear to begin maneuvering.”<br />
Gastineau replied.<br />
“Understood, Six. We‟ll contact you when we‟re in position. Good hunting sir.”<br />
“To you too. Six out.”<br />
“Sir, the flagship is ready to jump.” Commander Tajalle reported.<br />
“Very well, Commander. Stand by and wait for the signal from Galactica.”<br />
COMMAND NEXUS<br />
CYLON BASESTAR 0-1<br />
INBOUND TO CAPRICA<br />
Prime Three observed the tactical dradis display inside the command nexus of<br />
Basestar Zero One with satisfaction. “Just as we expected, it‟s only one <strong>Battlestar</strong>.”<br />
***<br />
“Do we know the identity of the <strong>Battlestar</strong>?” asked Prime Nine.<br />
“Transponder codes confirm that the <strong>Battlestar</strong> orbiting Caprica is the Galactica.”<br />
Replied the monotone voice of the Centurion Commander.<br />
“Good.” Replied Prime Four. “I‟ll enjoy giving a little payback to Commander<br />
Magus for destroying my flagship at Ragnar.”<br />
Prime Six chuckled. “Revenge is a human concept, brother. You would do well to<br />
rid yourself of such distracting emotions.”<br />
