COLONIAL FLIGHT 798
Giles walks up to Secretary Laura Roslin and gives her a small hug.
GILES-
"Laua, it's good to see you."
ROSLIN-
"Rupert, it's been too long. Thank you for coming."
GILES-
"I admit, I was a little surprised."
ROSLIN-
"Well, a wanted to see an old friend. So, you brought some firends."
GILES-
"Yes, this is Buffy Summers, my aide. Professor Willow Rosenberg of the Technology department, and a former student of Dr. Guise Baltar. Professor Tara Maclay of the Philosophy department."
ROSLIN-
"It's good to meet you. And you are?"
DAWN-
"I'm Dawn...Buffy's sister."
ROSLIN-
"Welcome, Dawn. If you would like to take your seats. The pilot has informed me that we will reach Galactica within the hour."
GALACTICA PERIMETER PATROL
The two brand new Viper Mark 7 streaked through space. Spike and Faith's patrol was almost over.
FAITH-
"So, Spike....CAG didn't ask you to join in the decommission flight?"
SPIKE-
"He knows better. Hell, I trained him." Spike was a legend in the fleet. He was the longest running Lieutenant in fleet history. If he had kept out of trouble, he would be a Major, or even a Colonel. What really made Spike a legend was the fact that he was still one of the best pilots in the fleet, and he didn't care that he was only still a lieutenant.
FAITH-
"What do you say, time to go home?"
SPIKE-
"Follow my lead, Slayer. Besides we have to get our pretty uniforms on."
GALATICA
Riley marched into the Marine briefing room. Angel always let him do the briefings, and besides today, he had to go see Commander Adama about something. The Marines came to attention as he walked up to the front of the room.
RILEY-
"As you were. Okay, today's the big day. This is also the last briefing for you about the Galatica. Our job during the ceremony is providing security for Secertary Roslin and her party. It includes a teenager, and we all known that teens like to wander around, so if you see her go into a restricted area...kindly tell her to go elsewhere. Thanks about it. I do want to say...it's been a privilage to serve with you. Dismissed."
Angel usually hated these high level meetings, but not when it was with Adama. He was the most senior commanders in the fleet, but now they were born heading in the same direction: out of the service. William Adama was retiring, just like his ship was.
ADAMA-
"Major, I would like to talk about your future in the Colonial Forces. It seems to me that you have lost your way a little."
ANGEL-
"I'm just tired, sir. My girlfriend is arriving with Secretary Roslin's party, and I was going to give her this." Angel pulls out a claddagh ring. Adama grins and takes the ring.
ADAMA-
"I'm beginning to understand. Is this the big question?"
ANGEL-
"Yes, sir." Adama hands the ring back. It's a good decision that he's leaving the service then, the commander thinks to himself. Adama accepted the fact that it was the military that wrecked his marriage. It was the military that took his youngest son, Zack in a training accident, and then there's Lee...you will be arriving in an hour.
ADAMA-
"Congradulations, Major. And Good Luck." He shakes Angel's hand.
Down in a stoage room in the starboard launch area, a different kind of embrace was just finishing. Crew Specialist Xander Harris and Store Specialist Anya Jenkins were gathering themselves and re-dressing after a quick sex session. Probably, their last.
XANDER-
"You okay?"
ANYA-
"It's just driving me crazy that they have given out new assignments yet. I would like to know with were going to service with each other." Xander looks at his girlfriend, sadly. With over sixty battlestars, countless bases...they would probably be seperated. Xander walks over and places his hands on her shoulders and hugs her.
