rom: Shannon Wiley Subject: MUSH log - Galin's Capture Starbuck walks over to Apollo "Hey, There ya Are Apollo. I've been looking all over for you. Apollo says, "Oh? What's up, Starbuck?" You say, "Not Much. Boomer and Jolly were thinking about running up to the Triad court.. I was wondering if you wanted to team up and go Pounce 'em?" Rigel looked at you. Apollo smiles..."Sure, why not?" You say, "OH yeah.. we're gonna give those guys a Lickin' they'll not soon forget." Rigel says, "Captain?" Apollo says, "Yes?" Rigel says, "I'm receiving something...it's hard to make out." Rigel sets a monitor channel You say, "Probably just some merchants who got lost." Rigel says, "I think it's a freighter." Rigel says, "They are having problems, they have started to send a distress call!" Apollo looks at Starbuck. Apollo says, "Have they said what the problem is?" Rigel says, "I'm not able to get a very clear signal, Sir." Starbuck looks back to Apollo and sighs. "whelp.. so much for Triad." Rigel works at the console, trying to clear the signal up Apollo says, "Can you get a fix on the signal?" Rigel says, "I'm trying Sir...." You say, "Rigel, just locate the source of the Signal.. Apollo and I'll do the rest." Rigel says, "Got it.... coordinates are -41 -26 -30" Apollo looks up, "Let's go." Starbuck looks to Apollo.. "ya think the Cylons are reminding us that they're still here? Apollo says, "Could be." Starbuck Nods. Apollo says, "Any Cylon signals?" Rigel says, "I'm not reading any, but there is a lot of interference for some reason." Apollo says, "Hmm..." You say, "The Dealer has a sense of Humor here pal.." You say, "And I've got a really bad feeling that he's fixing to start dealing from the bottom of the deck.." Rigel sets a monitor channel Apollo says, "Well, we'll take what we're dealt." Rigel watches Apollo You say, "or fold.." Apollo smiles. Starbuck grins.."But I've got a few cards up my sleeve.." Apollo says, "Let's go, or there might not be a frieghter to check out." I can't find who you're trying to page. Starbuck Nods. Apollo says, "Rigel, have Jolly on Standby." Rigel sets the transmit channel << Apollo and Starbuck move to the Viper Launch Bays. Ensign Greenbean is Present >> Greenbean salutes, "Capt., Lt." Apollo says, "Greenbean, you're with Jolly for now." You say, "heya Greenie.. out of the way.. the cavalry's gotta launch.." Greenbean nods, "yes sir" Greenbean steps to the side watching the 2 officers << Apollo and Starbuck enter their respective Viper Craft.>> (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Radio Check. Are you receiving Rigel? You touch a switch and close the hatch (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Loud and clear, Lt. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Core Control, this is Apollo. Are you receiving? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Core Control, this is Blue 2, requestion clearance for launch. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged. Transferring Launch control....launch when ready. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Coordinates downloaded. Blue 1 also requesting launch clearance. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: You first Cap'n.. You're the leader.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged, Blue 1....transferring launch control...launch when ready. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Let's do it. << Apollo and Starbuck Launch. >> (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: What are those coords Again? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Coordinates are -41 -26 -30 (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: I'm ready boss..I'd say lay off the turboes until we see what we're dealing with.. we may need the fuel. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Agreed. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Lets go << Apollo and Starbuck travel to sctors near the target Coordinates >>i (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Starbuck, what do you show on radar? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: My radar is reading a viper.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight, this is Core Control. Can you identify the viper? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Apollo.. do you confirm.. Target sector contains a viper? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Negative, Core...no markings. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Oh yeah. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Had visual contact for a micron. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight. Use extreme caution. Galin has been seen in this sector. Repeat...use EXTREME caution. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Whose turn is it to do the Visual? Mine or Yours? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: *chuckle* Does it matter? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight- report....what have you found? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: An Unmarked viper. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Any sign of the freighter, Lt? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Negative. NO freighter here. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: It's just sitting there..Not Moving. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Well.. do we just sit here or what? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: I'm going to roll over and take a look. Cover me (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Whatcha See Cap? Apollo's viper cruises in slowly, sidling up towards the freighter." (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: I see a small freighter. No sign of the viper I saw earlier. No visible signs of distress. Scanning. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue flight, confirm...You see a freighter? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Confirmed. Small dry bulk freighter, I think. No Cylons. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Confirmed. Freighter is present.. Apollo.. remind me to have the tech's check out the radar on this puppy... (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged. No Cylons. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Well Captain? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Control, any new signals from the freighter? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: What do you suggest? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Negative, Captain. And the distress signal has stopped completely. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Any singn of Hull breach on the freigheter? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Looks all clear to me. 'cept this ship has buttoned up. Running little faster than an idle. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Negative. A number of blast marks though. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Core control, can you contact the freighter? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: The freighter is not answering hails, Blue Flight. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: And the bet is checked to us.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Apparently the distress signal wasn't meant for us. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Watch yourself. Apollo guides his viper slowly around the freighter, inspecting it visually. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Apollo.. did you get a bearing on the Viper? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Negative, it was in the middle of a turn. No way to be certain which way it went. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight - we are picking up scattered transmissions from the area, but nothing we can pinpoint. Advise you use caution. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Could be one of Acropolis'. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Acknowledged, control. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Last I knew, Acropolis marked her vipers. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Are you positive it was unmarked? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: No, I only saw it for a micron. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Frak. Apollo's viper slowly arcs around the front of the freighter. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: I don't like this hand Apollo.. I think it's time for a re-deal. A flash of thrusters erupts from the farside of the freighter (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Holy... (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Report, Captain! (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Must've been on opposite sides of the ship...viper's still here... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Core control, The freighter is movinge.. repeat, the freighter is moving.. What's going on Apollo. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Not sure... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Felgar.. I'm getting all kinds of screwey reading on my sensors.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Doesn't make sense. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Control, try to raise that viper. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight- interference is increasing. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: *muffled crashing sound* Come on Dammit.. work right. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Someone wanna remind Fleet command not to buy Vipers made with Virgonian parts? The freighter slowly turns and pitches down, engines lighting up. (FREQ:Public) Rigel's voice: This is the Galactica to unknown viper. Identify yourself! Repeat: identify yourself! (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Freighter's running. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: *chuckle* (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Want me to just sit here, or move to intercept? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Hey.. I know that voice... (FREQ:Public) Rigel's voice: Galactica to unknow Viper. Identify yourself immediately! (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Oh yes.. re-deal! I'm upping the ante.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Better get up here, Starbuck. Galin moves out from behind the freighter and does a roll (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight we are getting no response from the unknown viper. Apollo manuevers to pursue the viper. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: It's a viper all right. No markings, slight damage. Guess who. Starbuck streaks in, ready to pursue. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Have you made a positive identification, Blue Flight? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Like I said.. re-deal. I"m betting 5. Galin punches her thrusters putting space between her ship and the others, one of the engines you notice is not firing correctly (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Oh yeah.. she's not getting away.. she's got a bad thruster.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Report Blue Flight! Have you got a positive ID? (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Unknown Viper, this is Blue 2, from the Battlestar Galactica..Identify yourself. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Uncertain. But the odds are definetly good it's Galin. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Punch it... (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Dammit Galin.. Answer me! (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Heya Bucky.... (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Dammit girl, whats up with that Freighter? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Command to Blue Flight. Do you need assistance? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Let me talk to her.. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Not cure Bucky...got a distress call came to check damn thing started firing on me.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Galactica, we are pursuing viper bandit. Better cut Jolly's crew loose to go after the freighter. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: A lot of people ain't gonna beleive that Galin.. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: But you do Bucky.....don't you? (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: *static* (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Starbuck, she's a wanted woman. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Dammit Captain, I know that.. but there's no need to kill her if we don't have to.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: We have to bring her in somehow. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight you are ordered to apprehend...or destroy.... (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Yeah.. I beleive ya.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Say again Galactica...interference... (FREQ:Public) Apollo's voice: Galin, it's Apollo. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Repeating...you are ordered to apprehend or destroy. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Hello Captain... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Core command.. try and get a line on the Freighter.. I wanna know what it's carrying, and who it's registered too. (FREQ:Public) Apollo's voice: Good to hear from you again, I wish it were under better circumstances. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged Lt. As soon as we have anything we'll let you know. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Understood. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Oh really Captain? (FREQ:Public) Apollo's voice: We've been ordered to bring you in. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Galin..please.. come with us.. (FREQ:Public) Apollo's voice: Bring you in or... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Don't say it! (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Sorry Captain I can't do that... (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Galin.. if you don't.. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Dammit Galin.. they wanna hang someone.. and it's gonna be Nerrick unless you come in a clear things up. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Nerrick wouldn't harm a fly Bucky and they know it (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Control, we are still in pursuit. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Doesn't mean they can't gather enough evidence to crucify him with anyway. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Someone up top wants this resolved. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged Blue Flight. Core Control to Blue 4...transferring launch control...launch when ready! (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Galin.. if this goes on.. I won't be able to help you.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue 3 and Blue 4...last know coordinates for the freighter were -41 - 26 -30. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue Flights. The freighter is unregistered. Contents and crew unknown. Origin unknow. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Hmm.. that's rather suspicious.. blue 3 and 4, be careful, freighter is potentially hostile. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Bucky I can't go back..I'm sorry... (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: She seems to respond to you, Starbuck. Keep talking. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Galin, listen to me, if you flee we have orders to pursue. You are short an engine..you can't outrun us (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Felgarcarp.. I was sure that nerrick bit would work.. Galin turns the ship and starts moving straight at the patrol (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Watch it! (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Galin, don't do this.. Starbuck moves his viper directly into Galin's line of flight. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Oh...Frak...activating attack computer. (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: Core control this is blue 4 the freighter has ducked behind an asteroid, should we proceed? (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Dammit girl, you are gonna have to go through me. Do you understand that? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue 4...break of pursuit and move to assist Blue 1 and 2. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: I'm sorry BUcky...I didn't mean for any of this to happen... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Core Command, An unregistered freighter with an Unregistered cargo is a bit suspiscious. I suggest pursuit. Galin hits her thrusters as she heads straight for Starbuck's viper (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Then come with me. Galin, I'll help you. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to blue 2...acknowledged...Colonel's orders, Lt. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Go where? To sit in a cell for the rest of my like frak Bucky, you know I can't (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Unless you can convince her to come in. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Colonel wants her taken care of, Starbuck. I don't blame him. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: I don't need assistance yet. Tell the Colonel I've got everything Under control.. (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: Understood Core control changing flight to meet up with Blue 1 and 2 (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Tell the Colonel WE have everything under control. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Frak girl, I'll do what I can to help you. Starbuck remains in Galin's flight path. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: I'm not moving Galin.. and a collision will kill us both. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue 3 and 4...continue to rendevous with Blue 1 and 2, but hang back out of range until they ask for your assistance. Understood? (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: Understood Core control (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: That is the best I can do for you Captain, Lt. Galin ducks the viper under Starbuck's at the last possible micron (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Damit Greenie.. you or Jolly go after that freighter! That's an Order. I'll deal with the Colonel. Starbuck rolls about, and activates his engines, pursuing Galin. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Starbuck, we can't stall much longer. We have to make a move. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Lt. the Colonel suggests that you deal with what you have in front of you and let him deal with the freighter! He isnt happy Starbuck..don't push him. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Dammit I will NOT let that girl get herself killed. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: And I'll shoot her down before I'll let her endanger anyone else. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: And You remind the Colonel that that's my friend he's ordering Shot down. (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: Sorry Starbuck, you know I'd like to... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Apollo.. Captain.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Lt. get a hold of yourself or you will be ordered to withdraw and let the others handle the situation. Galin's third engine sputters in and out but she manages to maintain the gap Starbuck activates his turboes, and begins closing the Gap. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Hey Bucky you remember that time on Libra? (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Well...we can force her to ride that damaged engine until it snaps. (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Yeah.. I remeber. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight. Col says he doesnt care how you do it, just end this thing. Starbuck continues closing on Galin. (FREQ:Public) Galin's voice: Jig is up.... Apollo pulls up and back to follow Starbuck's ship. Galin pulls a loop and then does a roll drawing Starbuck away from the other viper (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Whoah... (FREQ:Public) Starbuck's voice: Gotcha.. The jig is up. Apollo turns in a swooping arc to follow his wingman...trying to make up lost distance. You remove frequency Public from being radio monitored You set a monitor channel to Smugglers. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: I'm here Galin.. Galin continues to evasive drawing maneuvers, the gap between herself and Starbuck closing, but the one between Starbuck and Apollo holding (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: You know I can't let them take me in Bucky (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Galin.. they'll Kill you..I'm defying the Colonels orders by dragging this out.. and I'm gonna be in for a hell of a time when we land.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: I'd rather die out here then rot away...I won't get a second chance... (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Galin.. You can't go In.. I can't let you die.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: We've both just played the same hand... (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: Then I guess its a standoff, atleast between us...who deals now? (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Colonel Tigh. He's got more vipers en-route to assist.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Which is gonna make my hand a natural green Pyramid of Triangles.. and the best you can possibley hope for is a tie. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Give me more time..I think I'm starting to get through to her.. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue flight..report! What is happening out there? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Blue 2 Is still in Pursuit. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: Ties no good Bucky...what are my odds? (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: You had better bring her in soon Lt. The Col is getting impatient here! (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: If you come back with me.. about 2:1 against.. if you force the call out here...hell.. Tigh's got 50 pilots he can send out to bring you in. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: *sighs* I don't want any of you getting hurt Bucky... (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Don't worry about us love.. I don't want you getting yourself killed.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Look.. I'll do what I can for you.. I Promise.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: Nothing wrong with getting killed Starbuck... (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Nothing wrong with trying to redeem yourself either. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: You think there's anything left *to* redeem? (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: I wouldn't still be here to talk to you if there wren't.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: For you Starbuck *pause* not for them (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: That's good enough.. I'm going to call in Apollo, Jolly, and Greenbean.. we're all going to escort you back.. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Starbuck, keep a close eye on her. She's wily. (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: You could have *tried* Captain... (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Negative. I've got her. She's coming with us. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Disengaging attack computer. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Apollo, Jolly, Greenbean.. we're gonna form a box around here.. keep her in the center. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: You taking the hot-spot? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Right in front of her. I'll take it. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Just be sure whoever's behing is't too trigger-happy. Apollo pulls up just behind Galin's back-wash. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Galin, I'm riding in front, Apollo's on your tail. Jolly and Greenbean are gonna fly on your wing.. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: Don't trust me Bucky? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Somebody tell the Colonel he can Muzzle the War-Daggits. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to Blue Flight. Acknowledged...Galin is in custody. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: I trust you. That's why I'm in front. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: *chuckles* thanks, now I just got to decide if I trust the good Captain.... (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Blue Flight, the Colonel still advises caution until you have her landed! (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Remind the colonel that I'm showing her my backside. Unlike some people *I* Trust her. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Set vector ro ro 30 (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged Lt. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Setting. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Nice and easy. (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Set speed to 30, direction southwest. Keep it level. (FREQ:Smugglers) Galin's voice: Got ya Starbuck (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Increase spped to 20 (FREQ:Smugglers) Starbuck's voice: Increase speed to 20 Galin. << All Vipers and Pilots return to the Galactica >> (FREQ:Galactica) Greenbean's voice: Blue 4 approaching Galactica (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core Control to blue 4...you are cleared for landing. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Galacatica core control...blue flight and unmarked viper requesting landing clearance. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Core control to Blue Flight...you are cleared to land. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: And tell the Colonel I will accopany Galin to the Brig. an Armed escort will --NOT- - be needed. (FREQ:Galactica) Apollo's voice: Then you wouldn't mind if I tagged along, Starbuck? (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: No. I don't mind. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: Acknowledged Lt...I don't know if he'll listen, but acknowledged. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Understood.. Tell him I don't want to spook her, or do anything that Might cause her to run. (FREQ:Galactica) Rigel's voice: There will be no armed escort, Lt. But the Col insists on having warriors stationed along the corridors to the brig just in case. (FREQ:Galactica) Starbuck's voice: Understood. Sighing off. << All Pilots exit their vipers >> Apollo pulls off his helmet << Rigel requests and receives permission to leave the bridge >> Starbuck walks over to Galin, removing his helmet. You say, "Greenbean.. would you refuel and store my Viper please?" Greenbean Nods, "Sure Bucky" Rigel walks in from the Causeway to the east Rigel has arrived. Rigel smiles as she sees Apollo is all right You say, "C'mon Galin.. time to take you to ....your quarters." Galin looks over at Bucky and nods slowly Starbuck hesitates, and doesn't say brig. You say, "Uhm.. Galin. I've gotta take your laser pistol." Galin says, "Don't have one Bucky." Apollo says, "Well...welcome aboard." Rigel looks at Apollo, "The Colonel wants to see you both as soon as you have Galin....settled...Sir." Apollo whispers "... that ... bird ... evidence. ..." to Rigel. Apollo looks at Galin, then Starbuck. Starbuck elbows Apollo inthe chest. You say, "C'mon.. lets get this overwith." Rigel whispers "... Yes...Sir... ..." to Apollo. Greenbean glances at the Captain and the women Starbuck looks to Galin, severe apologies written on his face.. and hurt. Apollo suddenly turns a bit pale. You say, "C'mon galin..before I change my mind about this.." Apollo looks to Rigel..."The freighter...?" Galin looks over at Starbuck, "Don't worry about it, I played my hand..." Rigel says, "It escaped. We don't have enough on it to trace it." Apollo says, "oh.....frak!" Apollo mutters, "Sorry" Rigel says, "Look, Captain...you and the Lt had better get Galin...away. The Colonel is very edgy up there! I'll take care of things down here." Apollo puts his hand on Starbuck's shoulder and nods. Starbuck mutters quietly, "... Colonel .... kiss ... Daggit..." Galin smiles slightly at Bucky, "Hey there's always next deal..." Starbuck nods to Galin. "I'll make sure you've got enough cubits for the next hand.. Galin nods, "Thanks Bucky" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Log Ends Here:) Subject: RP log: Adama and Starbuck Introduction: In a recent bit of RP, Commander Adama finally learned of Starbuck and Athena's 'relationship.' After hearing that his loving daughter is dating a known gambler and man of ill-repute, the informs Starbuck the the two of them (Starbuck and Ad ama) would be 'having a private discussion' in the near future. Shortly before this Log begins, Starbuck has been ordered to Adamaa's quarters, and is afraid that This 'discussion' is about to occur. The log opens with Adama questioning Starbuck about other events, however. This Log features only Adama and Starbuck, and was logged by Starbuck. This log is being distrubuted to BSM-judges, BSM-readers, and star-l. Log Begins here ---- Starbuck enters and comes to a rigid attention. "Lt. Starubck reporting as ordered sir." Adama looks at Starbuck.."At ease." Starbuck stands at ease. Starbuck looks a bit nervous. Adama looks at Starbuck for a centon then says, "Lieutenant, could you fill me in on Galin?" You say, "Not much to tell actually." You say, "Apollo and I were invesigating a distress signal from a freighter." Adama nods. You say, "When we arrived at the freighter, it refused to answer hails or respond to us in any way." You say, "We'd about decided to head for home when Galin came out from hiding behind it." Adama says, "what was the freigher? Who owned it? *blinks*" You say, "We couldn't find out. Lt. Rigel ran a trace on the ship. It was not registered to any pilot. it's name and running signals were unregistered, and it's cargo, destinaion and home poert were all unregistered." Adama says, "Galin knows about frieghters correct?" You say, "She does." Adama says, "It doesn't make sense. Has she spoken about this, or is she tight lipped?" You say, "She said that she also received the ships distress call." Adama says, "do you believe her?" You say, "and that when she moved in to assist the freighter fired on her." Adama says, "it fired on her?" You say, "Yes sir. I do believe her." You say, "and I'll testifyu to that at a tribunal or court martial." Adama says, "and what of Lt. Nerrick? What is his reaction to this?" You say, "I'm not at all sure he knows of this sir." Adama nods. "well, Galin has to answer about kidnapping Lt. Nerrick. Has she said anything about that? You say, "No sir." You say, "Actually, sir, I've spoken with her very little since she's been in the Brig." You say, "colonel Tigh has put her under lock and key, and she's allowed no visitors without his express writtten authorization." Adama says, "WHo HAS spoken with her? Tigh?" Adama nods. You say, "He has sir." Adama says, "I assume he has been waiting for me to return?" You say, "I beleive so sir." Adama nods. "Well, Starbuck, I want to ask you a favor. I'm not orderring you to, but would you be willing to do me a favor? You say, "That depends on the favor sir." Adama says, "Well, have you ever heard of a techniqwue called good cop/bad cop?" You say, "I know of it." You say, "but I have to be the 'good cop'." Adama says, "Yes, you will be the good cop. Tigh will be the bad cop. We NEED to know her side of the story." Starbuck Nods. You say, "I could probably get it out of her myself sir." You say, "without Tighs assistance, if you gave me the chance." Adama says, "Alright, if she doesn't respond to you by yourself, I'll have no choice but to have the Colonel grill her....you know he wanted to grill Nerrick, buty I held him off...Galin needs to learn to deal with her mistakes, as you probably know..." You say, "she is dealing with it sir." You say, "but, she's one of my best frineds, and I one of hers. if she won't tell me ther's no way Tigh can get it out of her." Adama looks at you, "Alright. You say that she's stubborn. You very well know what Tigh is capable of. If anyone can force information out of her, he can....but I'll try your way first. Adama says, "will you do it?" You say, "I'll talk to her sir. yes." Adama says, "thank you, Starbuck." You say, "I'll do what I can to help withthe Galin issue sir." Adama looks at you..."Now, to other matters..... You say, "yes sir." Adama says, "About my daughter...." Starbuck gulps. Starbuck stands firm. Adama says, "Son, all I want to know is, do you love her?" Starbuck takes a deep breath. You say, "It's too early to tell really, sir." You say, "I like to be around her, to talk to her." Adama looks at you, "Well, she seems rather smitten with you..... You say, "I'm aware of that sir." You say, "Which is one reason that I don't want to take thngs too quickly." You say, "I want to give her time to decide if it's something real, or just a crush." Adama nods. "I like that....I am glad we see eye to eye on this...Neither of us wants to see her hurt....but I warn you: If you deliberately hurt her in ANY way, DELIBERATELY I'll bust you down so hard that you'll never see the inside of a Viper again. Is that clear? Starbuck stands firm as he answers with a solid. "Yes Sir." You say, "I understand you." You say, "I just want you to know sir, that I will not deliberately do anyting to hurt her." Adama nods..."Good." You say, "your.. promise... not-withstanding, I wouldn't have done anything anyway." Adama says, "That's all, Lt. Thank you." Starbuck turns and leaves.
