Caprica: Day One.
The first nuke went off without any warning there was panic everywhere people screaming and dropping were they stud. The heat and blast wave blowing out window and incinerating anything in it path
“Mister president “shouted major Dillon as he ran into the office “we need to get you out of here we are under attack by the cylons and most of the ruling council are already dead”.
“There’s nowhere to run mark” the president replayed to major .Dillon “I have sent a message to the cylons that we surrender but there has been on replay from them”.
Dillon looked stunned “what now” he asked mostly to himself .
“I have ordered command bunker delta to stand down and to keep all its forces in tacked and out of sight any one that knows about the base is dead now or will be soon you and I are all that left that knows were it is and now you must go there and take command I’ll stay here .”<br>“You can’t we need you you’re the head of state I can’t just leave you here .”<br>“You can and you will the cylons are going to look form me and if they don’t find me they’ll know that I’m in hiding and keep looking until they find me and the base now go that an order NOW.”<br>Dillon left the office and headed to his transport parked outside. There he found his right hand man and friend captain john furlong, weighting with a letter which he handed to Mj Dillon as he stepped into the armoured car .
Mark
“My old friend I know at this point your making your way to delta now and that the world that we love is all but over, I know that what I wont you to do is hard and goes againtest every thing you know but this is it”.
“I promote you to admiral to control of all ground air and what’s left of space.”<br>“Your orders are to regroup bring in what ever forcers there are left out there and save as many civilians as you can .”<br>“Build up your forces and stay hidden for as long as possible .”<br>“Delta can cater for as many as 1 million people it may be antiquated but it has all the basics to build a new life for you and your people .”<br>“There are 5 shaft built down 50 k into the ground all of them have there owe living areas and manufacturing plants .”<br>“You can build any thing you what and need to take back are worlds but it going to take time and a lot of work so don’t go all gunhow on me .”<br>“Build you army and take back what’s ours one plaint at a time all the best scientific minds we have are there so use them”. “As for your aide john’s a good man and a great solider as his father was so use him I promote him to major .”<br>Good look mark .
The letter ended as they left the city .
Admiral Dillon looked back just in time to see a colon ship open fire on the presidents building it finished in a pile of rouble
This was the alpha of a new time and this time there was no looking back .
They arrived at the base late into the night the rain had begun to fall as they left there car in the underground hanger .
As they got out they were met by a small armed force of special forces (sfs) admiral Dillon was the first to speak.
“Were is your commanding office Lutenant”. he asked without reply the lt pointed to an office in the corner of the hanger .
Dillon and john march over to the office and entered. There was a very tiered major sitting be hind the desk eyes glued to the monitor behind the desk . There were reports coming in from all over the colonels the cylons had hit every were as had as they had caprice, he did not here the admiral come but shot up as soon as john anosted them self’s .
“Admiral congratulations on the promotion”<br>“We don’t have time for niceties what your report”
The major looked down at his desk and picked up some papers that were on it, then looking at Dillon
He began to read
“We have 1100 vipers 500 raptors 100000 sfs and 400 medical staff and enough supplies to feed and water a small city for years
As per your orders we have sent out search and rescue teams some of them have already stated to check in with news that some of the small towns and villages have not yet been hit I have ordered the to evack as many people as the can to shaft 2 and to gather as much supplies and medis as possible and also there to batten down in cover if they cant get to the base before light”.
“Good” Dillon replayed “I will go to my quarters and get cleaned up if you can have one of your men show me to them?”.
“Yes sir do you want quarters in the dome or on the caprice”.
Dillon stopped and turned to look at the major the “what” he asked.
“The caprice is a small battlestar about 2 thirds the size of the old one but with planetary landing capability its new and had not been lunched before the attack but it fully funchnal and we have already changed all the codes to it and all the other ships to avoided a recurrence as to what happened up top”.
Dillon looked stunned
“I had no idea were did you get the funds to build it with out any one knowing about it ?” “well as the saying goes you don’t think a hammer really costs the government ?”<br>“Ye ye I know”<br>“Take me to it”.
Admiral Dillon stepped onto the bridge it was laid out similarly to any other battlestar only slightly smaller and with out the centre consol that allowed you to see what was going on, on the battle field. Instead there were holo projectors that gave you a 3d few of what was going on out side .
It was on and they the bridge crew were watching the feed back they were getting from there passive scans of what was going on in and around the planet and system .
