Battlestar Prometheus "The Story ...

“All of our remaining Raider force is surrounded by Colonial Vipers and unable
to disengage.”
“Call Zero One for reinforcements!” Prime Four commanded.
“It has already been done. Zero One regrets to inform us that reinforcements will
not arrive in time.”
And with that final pronouncement, Prime Four fully realized the depth of
treachery that his brothers and sisters had sunken to. He realized that the Council didn‟t
just want him to lose this battle, they wanted him eliminated.
It shouldn‟t have surprised him, but it did. He had always known that his views on
the war were considered extreme by his peers, but he hadn‟t realized that they would go
to such lengths to silence him.
Now he knew, but more than that, he knew something even more disturbing:
If the Cylons could plot to destroy one of their own for personal gains, then they were not
all that different from the humans after all.
He would remember that when he resurrected....
If he resurrected.

“Holy hell, are those Basestar Busters?” Katana asked as the Vipers of Blue Team
came into view.
“Yep.” Lonewolf replied as he switched his radio over to Blue Team‟s frequency.
“Blue Team, this is Red Leader: We‟ll plow the road, you drop the bombs.”
“Roger that Blue Leader.” Replied Lieutenant „Ratty‟ Torres as he throttled his
Viper Mark II up to its maximum thrust. “Blue Team on me. Arm all weapons and stand
by to fire.”
“Blue two standing by.”
“Blue Three standing by.”
“Blue Four standing by.”
“Blue Five standing by.”
