“Very well.” Prime Three turned and placed a reassuring hand on Prime Four‟s
shoulder. “Go forth with the blessings of the Cylon Council.”
Prime Four bowed. “By your command.”
The Cylon Council watched as their brother left and then turned their attention to
Prime Two who stood at the center of the chamber.
“What is your true motivation for agreeing to Prime Three‟s suggestion?” asked
Prime Eight.
“Little sister, you of all Cylons should know that no one but God understands my
true motivations.” Prime Two replied mysteriously. “Now, let us watch the unfolding of
our plan.”

“Sir, I‟m reading a power spike in one of the Basestars‟ jump drives” Reported a
crewman from the sensor station behind Ops.
“Confirmed sir.” Said Lieutenant Turner, “Energy readings indicate the enemy is
spinning up their FTL drive.”
“Getting ready to micro jump.” Magus nodded from his position at the situation
table. “Stand by on all batteries. As soon as the jump in I want to hit them with
everything we‟ve got.”
“Yes sir.” The X.O., Colonel Blackwell, replied with a smile from a position
directly across from him.
“Communications: Contact the flagship and tell them to stand by to jump.”
“Aye sir.” The Communications officer replied.
Magus picked up the handset in front of him and held it to his ear, “CAG, this is
the Commander. Launch all Vipers, standard forward formation.”
“Aye sir.” Came the reply from Major Alistair on the other end.
Magus then turned to the dradis display and watched patiently for what seemed to
be an eternity. Finally, the lead Basestar began to flash and then wink out.
“That‟s it, they‟re inbound.” Magus said with finality. “Let‟s get ready to fight.”
