Chapter 1: Surprise for the Colonial Fleet
Setting: Aboard the Battlestar Galactica, Present Day
"What the FRAK is going on?" Laura Roslin, current President of the 12 Colonies of Kobol who was now in the Galactica's brig, demanded. "I demand to know why the crew of this fleet's main ship is running around like chickens with their heads cut off." She looked at the sight before her. Marines, civilians, scientists, officers, pilots, everyone and anyone on the Galactica were running through doors, shouting out orders, guns out and everyone looked ready to shoot anything that moved. Klaxons were going off and Roslin could her over the intercom "Set Condition One throughout the fleet. Condition one."
"I am the damn president. I have a right to know what is going on with this fleet!" Although she appeared to have a calm demeanor, inside she was on fire. Not only was she under arrest, but something big was going on and she hadn't been informed. In her current state, she didn't see anyone enter the prison area.
"With all due respect Madame President, the current situation on Galactica is on a need-to-know basis right now." Colonel Tigh, the XO of the Galactica. A stern man, but nonetheless, knew what he needed to do at this time. He spat the two words out of his mouth with almost a hissing sound. "Cylon infiltration." Two words that struck fear in every heart of every person in the Colonial Fleet at the present time.
"Cylon infiltration?" The words struck Roslin's heart like daggers. "How could this have happened? We have Baltar's Cylon Detector. We have had over half of Galactica tested. This can't be happening, not with us being so close to…"
"Madame President, please! We have no idea who is Cylon and who isn't right now. We cannot, and I emphasize cannot, let the Cylons know our situation." Colonel Tigh pursed his lips and looked around. Luckily, it didn't look like anyone had overheard the President. "You may be the current President of the 12 Colonies, but that is not by the people's choice. You know you are in here for a reason, and we intend to keep you in here until it is right for the fleet to know the current situation. It is bad enough our President is in jail, but our Vice-President is missing and possibly dead. This cannot leave the few who know the situation."
"I want to know what is going on right now. I am still the President, whether or not I am in jail. This is still my fleet whether you like it or not." Roslin's eyes were like two vipers tearing through the empty regions of space. The XO had no choice but to tell her everything.
"About two hours ago, Lt. Sharon Valeri returned from her mission to take out the baseship near Kobol. Thank the Gods it was a success. She was escorted back to the CIC by two marines. Commander Adama wanted to congratulate her on a job well done. She entered the CIC, but she didn't look right. She had a strange look in her eyes, one I have never seen from Boomer before. She approached the Commander and as he reached out to shake her hand, she puller her blaster and shot him twice, point blank, in the stomach from about two feet away. She didn't even blink when she shot him. He fell and the marines in the room took down the Cylon Boomer before she could turn the gun on anyone else or herself for that matter. The Commander was taken to the Medical Station, Apollo went as well. He was hysterical and luckily cooperative, as we didn't have to use force to get him to go." Tight took a long, deep breath. It was hard just repeating the bloodbath he witnessed inside the CIC. Commander William Adama, the man he's served with for so long and his first during the entire Cylon threat. How could this happen? How did no one know Boomer was a Cylon? Was Balter's test flawed or was it something else?
President Roslin was shocked. The commander of the Galactica was shot by a Cylon plant that had been in their ranks for so long. It seemed impossible, but by the hysteria on the ship, it seemed possible. Not seemed, it was real. Adama had been shot and could possibly be dead.
