Tabitha Tabitha followed the Vipers out in her Raptor, she flew her ship quite well, logging more hours in a simulator than most real pilots had logged in flight. She heard the farm girl talking over the comms and flipped a few switches to jam her transmissions, then moved her raptor in front and communicated by signal light "Every transmission you send may allow the Cylon to triangulate our signals. We should not make any unnessiary comm transmissions lest we give away the position of Galactica." she pulled her raptor around and turned off the jamming equipment, muttering to herself "Rookies, don't even know basic tactics." She then kicked her feet up on the dash and started reading a dirty magazine.
The Commander and Alan The Commander nodded to his marines and they pointed their rifles at the civilians. The 'civilians responded in kind, and to the horror of the Commander they both had equal numbers of marines plus the civilians were better equipped with body armour and heavy machineguns. The civilian leaders also pointed weapons at the bridge crew, with the exception of Alan who said "Oh commander, I have read about you. I knew you would betray me. However, I propose a deal that doesn't involve blasting this CIC to Hell. You leave the civilians under my control, and you will get all the supplies your military needs. However I get the first pick of Ragnar." the Commander reluctantly nodded and the two shook hands as both sets of marines stood down. Alan smiled and said "Then we are agreed." and the Commander finished "Get off my ship." the civilian group nodded and departed, their marines backing out, to insure the Commander didn't suddenly open fire.
After the civilians had left the Commander turned to his Executive Officer "They have balls eh? I don't particularly like them, but their leader has my respect. Tell those fireteams and engineers to stand down. Have your people ready to scavenge once the civilians are done. Hopefully we can use spare parts from the station itself, rather than their fleet."

"Tabitha's right. Comm Silence," Carnage said, saying it short and fast, before turning off his comm. He continued to lead the patrol, keeping his eyes open for anything unusual. So far he saw nothing, but he wasn't about to let his guard down. He hoped everyone else could say the same. Specially Hotshot, who he didn't entirely trust. He hoped they could work up to trust. In a situation like this, it was very important.
(Aurora and Everett Young) Everett was standing behind Alan, his weapon drawn but not raised. "Commander," He said in his voice that sounded remarkably like Commander Adama. Once the deal was made, he followed Alan out. "I'm not sure we can trust that man, sir. He's ruthless, and I get the feeling he will do what it takes to win this war, even if civilians have to be sacrificed," He said once they were out of earshot.
Aurora remained silent throughout the deal making, then gave the Commander a nod,"I guess they'll do what's necessary to protect themselves," She said, which is a good thing she added in her mind. She thought that maybe there wouldn't have to be a mutiny after all, but part of her kind of really doubted it. She gave him a salute,"Sir," She said, before giving out the orders he gave her.

Marissa said a simple "Apologies" and shut her own comm off, falling completely silent and focusing on the task at hand. Which, at the moment, it was rather quiet. Nothing much was going on at the moment, but she was very alert. If anything, the quiet made her more alert, not less. She was glad nothing was going on, though, because it meant there were no dangers. But she got the feeling there would be something eventually that made her have to test her abilities as a pilot. That time was just not right now.
Hotshot also managed to be quiet, amazingly enough. Though, as time passed on, he seemed to get more and more impatient, and almost felt like going "Something better happen soon, because this is boring", but contained himself and just followed the others in complete silence.
Irene and Maynard Irene stayed at her post on the ship, not following anyone into the docks because that wasn't her place unless absolutely necessary. Her place was on deck of the main control room, not in the ship docks. So she just kept doing what it was she did
Maynard wasn't doing a whole lot right now, either, because he didn't have a whole lot to do. He was doing some minor fixes on things, but that was about it. There was no major repairs, or maintenance to be done, so he and his mechanic crew were idly passing the time with small talk and some mild fixes they had, along with some ideas they were running through their head. Nothing very exciting to mention about them really, though.

Tabitha Tabitha followed the rest of them in her raptor, watching the Dradis for enemy contacts. She watched a small dot on the screen, and muttered to herself "Frack." she quickly grabbed her comm switch and flicked it on "Commander, enemy bird incoming, single unit, likely lost, sending you the coordinates."she quickly rushed to the back of the small ship and began jamming its wireless frequencies. She was worried, she knew this could easily be a scout sent for Ragnar, it made a lot of sense to her. Even if they shot it down, they probably only had a few hours before they sent an armed patrol.
Alan Alan nodded to his military advisor, having to look up at the man because of his smaller stature. He looked at the Ha'la'tha Don and then said "Have some of your enforcers ready for the boarding of the station." he then turned to his XO "Have a great deal of our marines meet us as well."he then gave a glance to Everett and then whispered something to his XO and she nodded to him "Yes sir, we have a few ready." he grinned slightly and said "If the captain of this ship thinks he can take us down then, he is sorely mistaken." he then walked aboard his cylon raider.
Commander The commander walked around the CIC the nodded to his XO and said "You have the comm, I am going to prepare to dock with the station. Join me once we are docked, understood?" he walked off the CIC once she agreed with him. He immediately headed to speak with his marine commander, and have her get together a group of her most loyal marines for 'cutting the head off of the snake' and insuring that they would have the supplies for the war.

(Everett) Everette just followed along behind Alan, not really having anything to say at the moment. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully when Alan glanced at him and then whispered something to his XO. "You know, I find trust is important with working together, and I can't help but get the feeling that you're either hiding something or talking behind my back," He said,"So, I find that trust is distinctly lacking. If you told me what you're talking about, that would help, but I can't force you." He looked at Alan thoughtfully when he said that the Commander was mistaken, but he didn't say anything. It was one of the silences that gave the impression that he was against something, but wasn't going to speak his objections.
(Carnage) "Damnit," Jake muttered when Tabitha said she'd found a Cylon ship. Even if it was just one, it could easily become a danger. He knew he'd said that they were doing recon only, but....He flicked his coms on,"Alright, everyone.....I want you to take it out, but be careful. As soon as it's gone, fall back to my position. And if any of you suddenly get a really bad feeling, follow your instincts, it will do more to keep you alive then skill. Also, please try to make sure it's not a trap before you engage." He spoke quickly still. He switched his com to send back to the Galactica, "Galactica, we have one cylon ship hanging around out here, there may be more. Stand by," He said.
(Aurora) "Understood, Sir," Aurora said, giving him a slight salute as he left. She would certainly be following him once they were docked, but maybe not in the way planned. "Copy that," She said over the comms to Carnage. She then gestured for a marine to come over, then whispered something to him. He nodded, then went to gather the marines and soldiers that thought the commander needed to be removed from power.

When Tabitha announced that she had found a Cylon ship, Marissa felt a wave of nervousness hit her. As much as she liked to believe it, nothing could compare her for this. All the training for hours, various survival tests, practicing maneuvers for attacking. No matter how much of all of that she did, nothing made her ready for actually being thrown into a real situation. She did her best to remain calm, having done some training for that as well. She had to get used to this, and fast, but she was pretty certain that she would be able to.
"Yes sir" Marissa said after flicking her own comm on. Eventually actually spotting the Cylon ship better, she started to turn her Viper in the direction of it, but didn't immediately fire on it. She felt that the Viper pilots that were more familiar with how things work should make the first shot, and she was worried she might screw things up. And she was trying to study it at the same time, too, for unusually odd behavior that might mean something else. So she was generally aiming for it, but studying it for odd behavior while waiting for someone else to make the first shot, which based on how fast everything typically happened, that would likely be in no time at all.
Hotshot didn't do anything yet, either, but that was because everyone else was in closer range to get to the Cylon ship faster then he could. Which might be a good thing, seeing as he is kind of an idiot. So, currently, there was nothing worth mentioning related to him because he was behind everyone else and didn't really have anything to do other then fly in the same general direction as the others towards the Cylon ship
Irene Irene pretty much ignored everything that was going on, except the indication about the Cylon Raider. She looked a little nervous about things possibly escalating out there, but other then keeping track of basic things, didn't really do much. Everything seemed under control currently, though she feared that more Cylon ships could arrive in a flash if they wanted to. She really hoped they didn't. Well, everyone hoped they didn't, but it seemed doubtful they would be able to avoid it forever.

(Alan) Alan looked over his shoulder at Everett, thinking for a second before turning around and saying "You were a friend of my father's, that is why I offer my hand to you, making you the official military advisor of the Hyperion Conglomerate, and letting you stay on my flagship." he walked backwards a little and spun around "However I would have you know we are using weapons that haven't been seen in a good 40 years, however, I understand that you know the commander, if he knows about my weapon he will be prepared and it won't work as well." he smiled and nodded to his XO who followed him back to the hanger, where they would board their ship and return to the flagship.
(Tabitha) Tabitha quickly flipped switches looking over her console to make sure the communications were jammed for the Raider, she sent a comm to the Civilian ships, one of which pulled out of formation to assist them, a small frigate with a couple of older vipers who escorted it.

(Carnage) Jake watched the Cylon ship, hoping that destroying it really was the best decision. "Carnage to Galactica, we're going to take out this Raider, but I imagine it will only be so long before it's friends realize it's missing, so some haste would probably be a good idea," He said over the comms to the Galactica.
One of the Vipers lead the way to engage the Raider, on high alert in case it was a trap. Carnage stayed back to be their sort of retreat location, since he had told them to fall back to him after it was destroyed. He had full confidence in their ability to take out one Raider by themselves. "Moving in to engage," Sulfur said,"Tabitha, keep alert for any signs of other Raiders," He added, as if she had to be told.
(Everett) Everett listened to Alan's explanation about what he was planning, and just king of looked thoughtful for a bit. "I don't know what your weapons are, so I can't tell you whether the commander knows about them," He said, following along behind Alan.

"Copy that" Irene said back to Carnage, and afterwards started making sure everyone was ready for a bigger attack if it occurred. Making sure they were all ready for things to possibly escalate really quickly. She informed the commander, as well, that things could quickly escalate. Hopes were high that they wouldn't, but she still thought it was good to inform everyone for caution purposes. "Be careful out there, guys" She said back to all the Vipers.
Marissa Marissa held her breath for a bit, tense because she wasn't sure how this would go and how quickly it would end up escalating. Hopefully none at all. She remained a little ways back as they headed closer to the Raider, still not wanting to make a mistake by being the first one to engage it because she hadn't ever actually shot down a real target before, or gone on a real mission. If it escalated a lot, THEN she would definitely attack some of the Raiders. But right now, she left it more to the professionals to actually take it out, and remained nearby to assist if it ended up being needed. "I shall be backup support" She informed everyone quickly. At the same time, she used her eyesight to look out for any more Raiders, and to help keep track of the main Raider itself. She had always been told she had exceptional eyesight, so she hoped that her eyesight could be beneficial today, or in the future.
