and ever closer I creep up on my next kill!


looks like martok is getting closer to his next kill as well!

[martok2112]

Here it is, finally, my first kill of a basestar. WOO HOO!

To commemorate this great personal event...I would like to post an excerpt from my fanfic Battlestar Galactica: Dark Exodus, which I think will be quite appropriate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apollo and the bridge crew watched as the Cylon basestar slowly rotated to reveal its dorsal mega-pulsar cannon, the very weapon which could render the Galactica to spacedust. The Galactica herself had just achieved stabilization over Earth, and now it was about to be blown away by their machine persecutors.

Desperate, Apollo looked at his weapons officers. "Do we have enough power to fire our primary laser cannons?"

The chief weapons officer looked at the power readouts, and grimmaced. "Barely, Colonel. We could fire them, but it'll put a serious drain on the reserves."

"Better them than us!" Apollo growled. "It's time we did what I shoulda let Starbuck and Boomer do so long ago. Full reaction control, I wanna bring us to bear with that basestar and blow it out of the sky!"




And so the struggle began. The Cylon basestar continued its rotation to bear on the Galactica, and now, the battlestar Galactica was trying to bring its main forward cannons to bear on the Cylon ship.

"Sir," the chief weapons officer called out, "we have a firing solution on the basestar!"

"Spin up tubes one and two and fire at will!" Apollo ordered.

"Bearing mark in three microns," the chief weapons officer reported.





"Bearing mark in two microns," Silver reported to the Gold Command Centurion.

"Weapons charged to 95 percent." the gunnery Centurion stated.

"Galactica is bringing her forward weapons to bear!" another Centurion informed.

"We will fire at whatever power level we have accumulated," Gold ordered.

"Bearing mark in one micron," Silver reported.






The basestar was perilously close to bringing its dorsal mega-pulsar in line with its target. Apollo could not risk the Galactica being destroyed this soon after reaching Earth. Earth herself was at stake now.

"Tube two is bearing on target, Colonel!" the weapons officer reported.

"Fire!" Apollo called out.

The chief weapons officer threw the firing toggle.





The Galactica's starboard laser cannon glowed a bright red on a build up to power, and then it fired. A gigantic crimson beam of destruction connected the battlestar to the Cylon baseship, and completely threw the basestar off axis. A tremendous explosion engulfed the ominous warship, but when the fire abated, the basestar was still there. Listing helplessly, but still there.

The lighting on the battlestar dimmed considerably. A lot of reserve power was used up to fire that first blast. At this point, Apollo didn't care. Apollo wanted to see this basestar go straight to hell. He took one step forward to the viewer, and pointed at the listing target, wishing he could just will it out of existence with his own fury. "HIT HIM AGAIN!"




The Galactica's number one tube came to bear on the spiraling basestar, and as with the number two tube, the portside tube glowed brilliantly, and fired its beam at the dying enemy vessel. The laser connected with the basestar, and another explosion ripped out on the hull. This time, when the death blossom faded away, there was no evidence of the basestar, save for some fiery debris, which also burned out quickly.




There was great cheering and rejoicing on the bridge of the Galactica, and among the fighter pilots attempting to return to the ship. Even though the Galactica's power dimmed down threateningly close to nothing, the crew could not help but be overcome with elation. They had destroyed their attacker.

Apollo, after a moment, calmed the crew down and got back to business as usual. "Alright, I want a full damage and power status report. Med teams get our wounded to lifestation, and begin setting up triage stations throughout the ship. Damage control, we've got a lot of work to do, let's move it and get this done people!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, my first Basestar Kill.

and just where have i been that i didn't know this??


why to go my friend.

[martok2112]

Thanks, everyone.

Pardon my incessant pimping of Dark Exodus, but in this case, I thought it was very appropriate. (If not shameless )

I would especially like to thank everyone who had helped me through a very uncertain time in my stay here at the Fleets. Without you guys and gals, (and you know who you are ), I would never have seen my first Basestar Kill.

So here's to you, all my friends who have become my family here at the Colonial Fleets.


And a nice box of


With great appreciation,
