(Part 20)  131; On Edge

 

 

 

  "Check," Starbuck yells back.
   Apollo sees that the Leiutenat has fed back his veiw that shows the cause of the Backer's sudden departure. The Battlestar Galactica seems to be leaning on edge as she has executed a tight turn, in Battlestar terms, to bring herself around, and now barrels back into the scene of action.
   The Galactica goes to level herself to a simalar plane as the Launch. She rocks a few times before the landing bays level-out to provide a landing window.
   A voice comes on.
There is a certain note of authority as Leiutenat Athena provides directions, "Morgan, you are to take the Top-Cover," then, "And Launch Chi-Zeta-Chi, Radii Delta, you will only have a few microns to put your vessel into the Landing Bay before this Battlestar starts back to Flank."
   "Acknowledging, and Thanks," Apollo coms back, he has already had the Launch moving into a perspective Landing Path since the BattleStar reappeared, "This is no place to be left stranded."
   There is a semi-micron of silence from the Galactica, and then this answer comes back, "Don't thank us, We're short a few pilots right now."
   "Captain," Boomer speaks up, "We need to be doing something quick, it's looking like the Young Lady's Flash-sickness is coming back."
   The Captain looks back to see the Young Lady  clinging to her perch with her free hand clutching her forehead.
