Battlestar Prometheus "The Story ...

“Prometheus, Stormwind: Our guests have arrived.”
“Ok Commander, let‟s dance.” Admiral Gastineau said in response to
Stormwind‟s announcement.
“Yes sir.” Commander Tajalle replied. “Flame, spin up FTL drives one and two
and lock in coordinates for micro jump.”
“Aye sir.” Arispe replied. “FTL drives coming on line now, two minutes until
jump.”
“Very well, tell Husker that we leave Caprica in his very capable hands.”
Gastineau said with a determined expression as he turned to face Commander Tajalle,
“Now commander, let‟s go hunting.”
“Contact!” The Ensign known as „Happy‟ announced as the enemy came into
view. “Three Cylon Basestars bearing down directly ahead.”

“Frak me, look at all of those Raiders!” Aurora gasped.
Her fear was justified for riding out in front of the three Basestars was a
seemingly endless wave of Cylon Raiders.
“How many do you think, Red Leader?” Stormwind asked.
“Best guess is five hundred.”
“Sweet Lord of Kobol.” Happy muttered.
“Cut the chatter Red Two.” Lonewolf Snapped. “Accelerate to attack speed and
stand by to engage.”
“All Vipers, this is Prometheus: Jump off in sixty seconds, acknowledge.”
“Red Wing acknowledges.” Lonewolf replied as the other squadron leaders
followed suit.
“Here they come.” Icewind announced calmly.
Lonewolf smiled. “Then let‟s dance! All Vipers: weapons free!”
The two enemy formations closed with each other quickly and when they finally
came together in a hail of weapons fire, it had all the appearance of a deadly storm.
