A/N I don't own Battlestar Galactica or Startrek Enterprise. If I did, my Dads and my story, The Birth of Iconia and its sequels would be cannon. Also I would be wealthy and I wouldn't be writing FanFiction. Also I need to Cite jojobevco and his story "The Defector" for the idea of a Cylon Defector that warns Adama of the Attack. Although i am changing things around. Lastly a shout out to my Dad and ShadowXV for their input and ideas.

I dont know how often this story will be updated. I have a lot going on including moving so this will be slow going.

The Enterprise NX-01 was traveling at warp 2.1 towards an automated repair station that a tellarite freighter recommended to them. After running afoul of a romulan mine the ship was in bad shape. However three days before arriving at the repair station subcommander T'Pol detected numerous subspace folds occurring less than a light year away.

"T'Pol what can you tell me about these ships?" Captain Archer asked his science officer as they neared them.

"They are incredibly primitive. Even by the Vulcan standards of the Enterprise."

T'Pol was given a wry look from the captain but he quickly moved past that,"Explain?"

"The ships are powered by a primitive fusion reactor using a fuel that we can not identify. There is no warp drive, no impulse engines, no shields, nor a deflector array. The ships use a type of radar, radio communication, ion engines, and very thick armor. Also most, interestingly, their weapons are railguns and nuclear missiles." Everyone was staring at the Vulcan in astonishment.

"And you said that the crew is Human," Reed asked.

"Yes, all lifesigns on the ships are human." T'Pol said.

"Amazing." Archer said, looking back out the viewscreen. Still looking at the image of the fleet he asked, Hoshi can you make contact?

"Yes sir. It shouldn't be difficult. I'm already detecting their transmissions. However we will need to get closer if we want real time communication. We are already experiencing time delay for their transmissions."

"Very well, Ensign Mayweather plot a short warp jump to their location. Hoshi be ready to make contact.

"Yes Sir."

(Time skip half an hour)

"This is Captain Jonathan Archer of the Earth Starship Enterprise." Archer said carefully to allow the translator to catch his voice.

"This is Admiral William Adama, of the Battlestar Galactica. Did you say you are from Earth?" they received a moment later.

"Yes I did. I take it you have heard of us?"

"Of course we have. Do you know who we are?"

"I'm sorry but no."

"We are from the 12 colonies of Kobol."

"I'm sorry but that is not ringing any bells."

(On the Galactica before contact is made)

"Dradis contact." Lt. Gata called "Its small, smaller than one of our civilian ships. But it is putting off a lot of energy. No nuclear alarms."

Adama picked up his phone and called "Get me the CAP." seconds later her picked up the phone and asked, "Starbuck what do you see?"

"Like Gata said, its small sir. I don't see any weapon ports, launch tubes, or hanger bays. I doubt it's a threat. There's no way this is a Cylon ship. There are frakin windows for fra's sake. I also see some hull damage on the front of the ship. Looks like an explosion tore open sections of the hull. Doubt the explosion was very big though, the hull is paper thin. I bet a vipers rounds would go right through." Starbuck replied.

"Alright starbuck."

"Sir, incoming transmission for the ship."

"Put it up."

((((o))))

"This is Captain Jonathan Archer of the Earth Starship Enterprise."

The CIC was silent as Adama replied, "This is Admiral William Adama, of the Battlestar Galactica. Did you say you are from Earth?" they received a moment later.

"Yes I did. I take it you have heard of us?"

"Of course we have. Do you know who we are?"

"I'm sorry but no."

"We are from the 12 colonies of Kobol."

"I'm sorry but that is not ringing any bells."

"Perhaps we should meet face to face."

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll come over on a shuttlepod."

The line closed and Adama said "Prepare the hangar bay for retrieval and clean up the bay. Have the President meet me in my office. And get me the Pegasus."

Adama stayed where he was and pressed a few buttons to connect his phone to the Pegasus, "Helena what do you think?"

Seconds later Admiral Cain picked up her phone and responded, "It sounds legit. Im looking at a picture of the ship now. Its nothing like Colonial design. And how they arrived is to different. Pegasus caught it on camera, it's not a jump drive. Cylons can't move their ships that fast."

"Allright. I'm going to meet them soon. You keep an eye on the Enterprise for me. If it twitches open fire."

"I will."

Admiral Adama led Captain Archer in the conference room and Introduced Archer to the President, "Madam President this is Captain Jonathan Archer of the Starship Enterprise

"Captain Archer." President Roslin greeted "Its a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to the Colonial fleet."

"Thank you Madam President. This is my communication officer Ensign Hoshi, and this is Lt Reed Chief Tactical officer.. This is truly amazing, I never expected to find a society of Humans in the galaxy from anywhere but Earth." Archer said

"What do you mean? Surely you know about Kobol?" Roslin asked confused.

"Im sorry but no i haven't."

"I have captain." Ensign Hoshi said.

"Go on." Archer said

"Its an old legend originating from Ancient Greece. Before Greece was even founded it was said that group of Travelers arrived from the stars and taught the Ancient Greeks language, art, and the beginning of science. The legend has never truly been given much thought. I only know thanks to my studies of ancient languages." Hoshi said.

"What is Kobol to you Madam President?" Archer asked.

"The birthplace of humanity." Roslin said watching the Earth humans carefully.

"And how long ago was this?" Archer asked.

"Humanity started on Kobol close to 5,000 years ago."

"Madam President we have documented archeological evidence of humans on Earth over 10,000 years ago. And fossil evidence of Humans dating back over 100,000 years."

"That is impossible." Roslin said completely sure of her belief.

"I could show you some of the buildings that are still standing. The great pyramids of Giza for instance."

Roslin didn't want to believe him but nodded. "Perhaps we should put aside the discussion of where we are ultimately from." She asked, not wanting to get into a philosophical debate while she had to care for her people's physical well being.

"That's fine. So why is your fleet out here? I saw a lot of battle damage on the way to your ship."

"We're refugees, our society has been completely destroyed by a machine race called Cylons." President Roslin gave Captain Archer the history of the Cylons and what they did to their society.

"I have no words to describe how sorry I am for you." Archer said while Reed was taking mental notes of the capabilities of the Cylons.

"Thank you."

"Is that why you are looking for Earth?" Reed asked.

"Yes, Earth is our last hope of surviving."

"Well, I can tell you that Earth has room for 47,000 people easily." Archer said assured of Earth's ability to help. He also knew that Earth Gov would want access to the FTL drive of the Colonials and their space travel experience.

"What kind of ship is your vessel Captain?" Adama asked

"The Enterprise is an exploration ship. The first of the Warp 5 class."

"Warp?"

"Its our FTL drive."

"You don't use Jump drives?" Adama asked interested, remembering the speed that Enterprise achieved when arriving. He immediately realised that the technology of the two branches of humanity was exceptionally different..

"No, our ship generates a push and pull effect on space to achieve FTL velocities." Archer said, "It's the most common type of FLT in this region of space."

"Our Jump drives create a small wormhole allowing us to make instantaneous jumps through space." Adama said comparing the differences mentally.

"Amazing." Archer said when Reed jumped in.

"Admiral, if that is true then you are in a lot of danger. Warp is fast but the tactical advantage of your Jump drives would be enormous. I have never seen a ship as large as a Battlestar before. But that means very little."

Archer nodded seeing what he meant, " My science officer scanned your ships and detected your railguns and nuclear missiles. No one used technology like that anymore. We use energy weapons and most race's shields will stop bullets and missiles."

"Energy weapons?" Roslin asked scornfully.

"May Lt Reed give you a demonstration?" Archer asked. The guards quickly raised their guns and targeted the Terrans. "Stand down." Adama ordered, then asked, "Will anyone be hurt?"

"No,"

"Very well. Corporal put your helmet on the table." Adama ordered wanting to see what the weapon would do to the strongest piece of marine armor.

"Reed, thermal mode only." Reed took out his pistol and fired at the helmet. The helmet turned red hot and a piece of paper the helmet was sitting on lit on fire. Reed stopped and Archer continued, "Energy weapons, and we are primitive compared to many races." the Colonials stared in shock

"How much danger are we in?" Adama asked.

"Your battlestars are powerful, i'm sure that they could destroy the Enterprise. But we have a few advantages. We can move faster than light so you could not catch us. But your guns and missiles could do a lot of damage to us since we don't have shields. However if you ran into Klingons or Orion's they would wipe the floor with you."

"Could Earth protect us?"

"Yes," Archer said "Starfleet is not a military organization, but we have enough ships to defend ourselves and you. And your jumpdrive and space faring experience would give you a lot of negotiating room."

"Do you have the authority to give us sanctuary on Earth?" Roslin questioned.

"Not on my own, but I can call my superiors and get permission. One moment." Archer pulled out his communicator "Enterprise come in."

"We hear ya Cap." Trip answered.

"Open a channel to Earth. Tell them I need to speak to Admiral Forrest. And be ready to beam me back to the Enterprise." He then turned to the Colonials, "Madam President, Admiral Adama. I will speak to you again soon. But I have to return to my ship."

"Of course." Roslin answered.

"I will escort you to your shuttle." Adama offered.

"That wont be necessary. But I would appreciate it if you would escort my officers. This is another reason why you could be in danger."He addressed the communicator, "Enterprise beam me back." Archer vanished to the shock of the Colonials.

((((o))))

"How'd it go sir?" Commander Tucker asked from his console on the bridge as Archer stepped into the room.

"Reasonably well. I anticipate a few problems with their religion but nothing insurmountable."

"Well sir, religion has always been important throughout our history. It's only been in the last few years that it importance has been marginalized." Ensign Mayweather added.

"Thats true."

"What do you think of their ship, sir?" Trip asked staring out the view screen.

"Its impressive being inside it, that's for sure. Its massive, bigger than our space docks. And its very robust. They were a society of 29 billion and had 120 battleships the size of the biggest one out there, Pegasus. Their entire society was lost when their worlds were attacked by a race they call Cylons. Think terminators."

"Damn that's the last thing we need." Trip addressed.

"Terminators?" T'pol asked curiously.

"A fictional piece of technology from Earth's movies from the 20th century. Robots built for fight in wars and replace human soldiers. However the AI controlling it all rebelled and started a nuclear war. It then hunted down the survivors using robots to wipe them out. They same thing happened to them, only for real. All that's left of their entire society is those 47,000 survivors."

"What do you intend to do captain?" Trip asked.

"First I need to speak to the Admiral. I hope to give these people a place to live on Earth."

"Sir, im getting a message back from Admiral Forest." the on-duty ensign replacing Hoshi said.

"Put him on." the view screen changed to show the familiar face of Admiral Forest.

"Captain, what's this about a fleet of human ships?"

"Sir, while we were on our way to the repair station we learned about, we detected numerous subspace distortions. After further investigation we discovered that they were a type of FTL used by these humans. It is in fact, a form of point to point travel with a 5 to 10 light year range. That is, it only takes them a few seconds to travel 5 to 10 light years. But their are some limitations from what I can understand."

"John, are you sure?"

"Yes, Sir. Trip forward the Admiral everything we have learned." They waited a few minutes for Forest to read over the transcript of Archers meeting with Roslin and Adama.

Admiral Forest's eyes rose several times while going through the recording."What about these Cylons mentioned?"

"They have equal or greater technology to the Colonials. And as you can see from the scans taken of the Battlestars, Enterprise would not stand a chance against one of these ships. On hit from their guns would punch a hole clean through our hull."

"And, this is a fleet of refugees searching for Earth?"

"Yes, they have nowhere else to go."

"Ill speak to the council. In the meantime, John, everything about the Colonials is classified. This jump drive could destabilize everything in the quadrant and I don't want every race in the galaxy targeting Earth. That includes you subcommander, if anyone learns about this drive Earth won't be the only world attacked for it. Vulcan is our closest ally, and everyone who wants the drive will assume that we gave the drive to the Vulcans for aid integrating it into our ships."

"Logical, however Vulcan can defend itself." T'Pol said raising her eyebrow.

"True, however can it stand against repeated assaults on multiple fronts? Say, Andoria and Quonos learn for the drive. They don't even have to work together. A fleet of Klingons attack from one side and Andorians on another. Then the Orians learn of it and begin trying to steal the drive by sneaking in under the radar. Taking more attention from the front. Can Vulcan handle that?" Forest asked, not threatening but completely serious about what would happen.

"No, But could Earth handle that either?"

"No. But the fewer know a secret the less chance it has of getting out. And Earth has few enemies and less interest than Vulcan."

T'Pol was silent for several minutes "Very well I will keep silent." T'Pol knew very well that Admiral Forrest simply wanted to get a leg up on Vulcan and what the strategic value of the drive will mean for Earth. However, she also knew that he was correct and that Vulcan did have security breaches. This way all the risk was on Earth and Vulcan would eventually get the drive. Something of this magnitude would not remain solely in the hands of one race permanently. And these Cylons had the drive as well. Meaning that Vulcan need only find a Cylon ship and negotiate for the drive. Or, given their actions already, take the drive and wipe the Cylons out.

"John, I want you to continue to this repair facility and get your ship repaired. Until further notice your mission is suspended. You are to watch the Colonials and establish diplomatic relations."

"I sir."

((((o))))

Aboard the Enterprise

"Welcome aboard the Enterprise Admiral Cain."

"Thank you Captain. Its an honor to be here."

"Please follow me we'll head to the mess hall. I made sure to get a good cook before we left space dock."

"Why was that so important to you?" Cain asked, curious. She was taking stock of Earth so far and didn't see much she liked.

"Enterprise is not a warship Admiral." Archer replied seriously "We are explorers first and foremost. Our mission is a five year journey of exploration. I wanted a good cook to help keep crew morale up."

"Reasonable." The Admiral said relieved, still disappointed in her fellow human. But, she reasoned that his mission was different then a battlestars. However she was still disappointed in his armaments. Dradis and gun cameras only detected three guns and two missile launchers. By her standards Enterprise was a lightly armored civilian vessel. Not worthy of being called a warship.

"So Admiral, I have spoken to my superiors. I am allowed to take you to Earth. However as you saw Enterprise has taken some damage. We were on our way to a shipyard I heard of from a freighter a few days ago. At warp two its another three days from here. Once there we will effect repairs and start back on our way to Earth. We have a dry dock on Mars that your ships can dock in and be repaired. However this needs to remain secret. I'm sure Admiral Adama has told you the difference between your FTL and ours?"

"Yes, I was listening into the meeting, there is a major strategic advantage between Warp and Jump drives."

"Exactly and we don't want Earth to be attacked for the drive when we can't stop the major powers from coming in and taking it by force."

"Of course not. I dont want that either. But I won't have my people being prisoners."

"We would never consider it. Your people will have access to Earth, the Lunar Colonies, and Mars. We just want to make sure that everyone is safe from information leaks."

"I understand. How will we get the Fleet to Earth?"

"The smaller ships can be augmented with a warp drive."

"And what of our Battlestars?"

"Admiral Forrest told me that officially, that is for the other powers, the Battlestars will be built on Mars as a joint project between us based on the designs of your world's military. Officially they would be to make your people feel safer and bulk up the defense of Earth. Unofficially we would, with your permission, add in our weapons and begin building more battlestars. And the new ships will require your help. we have no idea how to build ships the size of a battlestar. Earth has only been in space for the last 100 years.

'So its a trade.' Cain realized 'ships, experience, and jump drives for a place to live, food, and access to the galaxy at large. I can't really count Earth as safe with only ships like these as its defense. However they do have much more advanced tech. We would only win with overwhelming firepower. I would say it's a fair trade. And there is the harbor to consider.'

"How about something to sweeten the deal?" Cain offered, "Between the first Cylon war and the fall of the Colonies, my family began stocking up on ships and weapons for the Cylons return. My uncle never believed that the Cylons were gone for good. In the intervening 40 years he stocked up on close to 30 ships and a full shipyard that were being decommissioned or annexed from pirates. My uncle was a Privateer after retiring from the Military. He kept a good portion of the ships he got back from pirates. We have the entire shipyard and several other battlestars nearby."

"How do you have a shipyard nearby?" Archer asked confused.

"The Colonies built mobile shipyards, Captain." She said smiling at his dumbstruck look, "The entire station and the asteroid its inside is jump capable."

Archer was astounded and somewhat intimidated, "Thats amazing. How big is this shipyard?'

"Big enough to dock 15 ships the size of Pegasus and over 50 of the civilian vessels. We have been keeping them away from the fleet for security reasons. We didn't want the cylon infiltrators to learn about the shipyard and contact their superiors and bring down an entire armada on us." Archer nodded and Cain asked, "How long will it take to get to Earth and how far is it?"

"Earth is 40 Ly away. It will take Enterprise 3 months at cruising speed to return." Cain shook her head incredulous at how slow warp drives were.

"Captain why don't you dock Enterprise in Pegasus's flight pod. We could be at Earth in 3 days. We could even head to this shipyard you spoke of to effect repairs first if you wish. Maybe learn a few methods that would speed up our shipbuilding efforts. We would like a few days to make effect repairs to a few of our ships first anyway."

"Alright, but first I want to put a subspace radio on Galactica and Pegasus so that we can remain in contact. Actually, i'll add in a subspace sensor system and send a few engineers to begin teaching your people how to use them."

The comm lin began chirping right than, "Captain please come to the bridge and bring Admiral Cain. Hoshi has something you need to see."

"Acknowledged, "He turned to Admiral Cain," shall we Admiral?"

"Of Course"

((((On the bridge))))

"What is it Trip?"

"Since we met the Colonials we have been picking up low level subspace emissions. I thought it was their drives and I was right. But its more. There are 5 subspace emissions on different ships that are too organized to be drive emissions. These signals are data bursts." Hoshi said.

"Admiral?"

Cain thought about what to say but decided to tell the truth. "As you know, some Cylons have a human form. They are able to resurrect into a new human body at death. So killing them does nothing but return them to their people with everything they knew when you kill them. According to a few defectors, we know that they use subspace to do this. The defectors have already helped us weed out the rest of the infiltrators. However we believe that there are some Cylons that have changed their looks to pass security or have just been too immobile to be caught.

"There are also the drives themselves. Before the fall the Cylons infiltrated the biggest Jump Drive producer XDri. Their newest drive, the XDri Infinity, sends off a subspace pulse by design. It would lead the Cylons right to us every time it was used. However the defectors helped us eliminate that pulse."

"Well we seem to have located the source of the transmissions. Trip put the locations up on the viewscreen."

"Here they are."

"Gods." Cain said. "Ok; Colonial one, Galactica, and Pegasus are expected. Gods, but cloud nine, Demetrius, and Folktail." Cain rubbed her arm, "I need to talk to Adama."

Within the hour the Galactica and Pegasus had rounded up all the Cylons in the fleet and locked them up in Pegasus's brig. The Defectors; Gina Inviere, Sharon Agathon, Sharon Valerii, and Natalya Adama were introduced to Captain Archer that evening for a meal on Galactica.

"I hope you don't mind if I ask how you came to carry the name Adama?" Jonathan asked Natalya.

"Of course I don't. I was assigned to the Galactica before the fall. I was part of the group that was converting the Galactica into a museum. However it was a cover for my real assignment with the Cylons. I lived on the Colonies for over 20 years. When the setup for the attack came, I was to plant a device onto the Galactica's jump drive which would destroy the ship if it attempted to jump. And per the old romance story, I came to care for the crew and Bill and I turned on the Cylons. I told Bill about the Cylon plot and he in turn told Helena."

Cain then took over, "Bill is an old friend of my family. Like me, he knew of the plan my Uncle made. When he learned of the attack he contacted me and we both tried to warn command. We were both ignored. Instead I stalled the installation of the CNP on my ship and the rest of the ships in my battlegroup, which is why my entire group is still intact. We also made a plan to meet with both our ships at Ragnar Anchorage if the attack succeeded. We also spread the word to as many as we could. Unfortunately few actually believed us. I spent the rest of the time stockpiling weapons armor and supplies on the Harbor and on my battlegroup. We nearly completely rebuilt the Galactica after the fall." Cain said, smiling lightly.

"And what about the rest of you?"

"I was a sleeper agent. I didn't even know that I was a Cylon until Natalya helped me defeat my programing and stopped me from killing Fleet Admiral Adama." Lt Valerii said

"I was on Caprica. Like Natalya I fell in love with a human, my husband Helo, and we have a child." Sharon went on and explained about the fact that Cylons can't have children and that she was the first and only human form cylon to have a child.

"That doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't mean to offend, but Doctor Flox ran a full check on you while you were in decon. You are perfectly able to have children." Archer said then looked over to Flox.

"Actually Captain, I may have an explanation." Flox said.

"What?" The cylons asked

"Yes, each of you has several million nanites in your blood. I thought you knew of them. Its these nanites that are keeping you from having children and which give you your enhanced strength and resurrection abilities."

"Could they be removed?" Sharon Agathon asked.

"Im sorry but no. These nanites are linked into your brains at a very deep level and removing them would leave you essentially brain dead. However I believe that I could prevent them from interfering in your reproductive processes."

"But why?" Gina suddenly gained a horrified look on her face. "It's the centurions."

"What do you mean Gina?" Helena asked

"The centurions. The human forms, us, were created to better understand humanity. The Centurions couldn't actually grasp human reasons for your actions during the first war. For instance, the centurions can't understand why killing a wounded civilian during the first war incited such a negative response. The Tauron 11 massacre for instance. The centurions can't understand why that elicited such hatred in Humans. In their mind the civvies were already dead due to radiation exposure. Remember centurions consider themselves superior to humans. And while killing humans is their goal they mean to do it quickly. Killing humans quickly rather than leaving them to die of radiation exposure is a mercy in their mind."

"Thats..." "Perfectly logical to a computer." T'Pol said cutting Lee Adama off "It is a quicker and less painful death after all."

"How can you be so cold?"

"I did not say that death was preferable. I simply meant that it is less painful to die by a bullet to the head than a slow and painful death over the course of several weeks due to radiation exposure." The Colonials were quiet as they absorbed what T'Pol said. They wanted to snap at her for being inhuman. But they realised that she was not human in the first place.

Gina then told her story to change the subject, "I was stationed on the Pegasus to install the CNP. When Helena started stalling me I just thought she was stalling after speaking to Adama. I knew that he hated networks so I was going to just take my time. After the attack, I tried to sabotage the Pegasus but i was arrested. Helena and Natalya tried to question me but I didn't listen. I was actually in the brig for close to six months before I started sharing what I knew alongside Sharon Agathon and Natalya."

"Whats Earth like captain? Did you ever have anything like Cylons?" President Roslin asked later.

"No we never developed AI on Earth. But we had our own share of problems. Most recently was the eugenics wars."

"Eugenics wars?" Archer put down his fork and started explaining

"About 160 years ago we were interested in improving the human race genetically. And we succeeded in a way. The end result were called augments; five times base strength, improved immune systems, lungs, intelligence, everything was better physically. However there were problems. They augments were supremely arrogant. They attempted to take over and nearly did. But they were defeated and most killed. The third world war nearly destroyed all life on Earth and killed, conservatively, 600 million out of 7 billion. That's not counting those that died of disease, starvation or the natural disasters after the war."

Colonial One Conference room.

The center of the room was now dominated by a computer monitor set up by crew of enterprise engineers. The monitor was connected to a communicator which was bridging the Enterprises communication system allowing for this first contact.

"Captain." Trip said over the comm bridge. "Were ready I have Admiral Forrest on the line."

"Thanks Trip. Transfer him over."

"I sir." A few seconds later and Admiral forrest, and the Admiral of Starfleet along with the United Earth First Minister filled the screen.

"Mr First Minister, Admirals. Please allow me to Introduce President Laura Roslin of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. To my Left is Fleet Admiral Helena Cain of BattleStar Group 1 and Admiral William Adama of BattleStar Group 2. Madam President this is First Minister Miles Samuels, leader of United Earth."

"Thank you First Minister. Its a pleasure to speak to you."

"You as well Madam President. This truly is an amazing discovery. We had no idea that their were other Human Civilisations in existence beyond Earth. Most of our people have not even heard of Kobol. Ensign Hoshi's memory of Kobol is already causing waves among our archaeology departments within Starfleet. I have already had several people ask me to request copies of your historical data banks."

"I wish I could oblige First Minister. Unfortunately most of our historical data has been lost with the Colonies."

"I will pass that along. Now Madam President, on to business. I have received your request for settlement on Earth and I have gladly approved it. However we have much more to talk about before we can start. First off, our plans for getting you to Earth without letting the secret of your jumpdrive out. I have looked over Captain Archer's suggestion but it is impractical. We can't build enough Warp Drives to bring even a quarter of your ships to Earth. So we have a request. We simply need to make sure that we all stay safe."

"I understand completely. I know that the drive will cause many problems and safety is a primary concern."

"Thank you. Our plan is this. We want to move your people to Earth using our ships from one of our colonies at Ceti Gamma 3. Its a relatively new colony that went up seven years ago. We want to call your people the survivors of a destroyed Colony that Earth lost contact with."

"Mixing truth with Fiction?" Cain asked.

"Exactly, due to your language we will say that. In the time of the ancient greeks aliens came to Earth and kidnapped Greeks and took them to Kobol for some reason lost to time. The transplanted Humans thrived and reached a level of prosperity never seen on Earth. However their AI creations rebelled against them and destroyed them. Now the Enterprise located their refugee fleet and brought them to a colony where their ships broke down and now you are being brought to Earth with our ships."

"That is very believable." Helena said.

"We can't let the secret of the Jump Drive out Admiral. And we don't want the Vulcans or any other race looking too closely. We have already found another Colony that was lost in the early days of our space exploration."

"I can agree with that. It may actually be the full truth, just edited." Laura Roslin admitted before nodding "Ok what else?"

"Your military. I am loath to tell you to disbanded when your military is much more a military then most of our forces. After World War 3 most of our militaries disbanded to try and prevent massive wars. So your arrival is opportune for us, We are looking at a possible war with the Klingon empire and a military like yours will be a great help. We want to integrate your military into starfleet as a separate branch dedicated to defense and offense. While the branch Captain Archer is in remains our exploration force. We all refuse to stop our exploration efforts."

"We can accept that First Minister." Admiral Cain said, Adama nodded as well.

"Good. Now, we have would like for your Battlestars to head to this location. Your Athena station needs to arrive here." A map of SOL came up on the screen "This is the Kuiper Belt, its the remnants of early planets that failed to form and is the perfect hiding place for the station. We considered having you jump to the asteroid field but it's too close to Earth and the chances of a sensor station picking you up are too great."

"What of our battlestars themselves?"

"We will have to use the Athena for the Battlestars until we can build a new hangar. We have a hangar that will fit the battlestars, however it is located 1 km underground."

Adama looked uncomfortable and said, "Our ships can jump into a hangar underground but it is dangerous. If the coordinates are off by even a few inches the ship could rematerialize inside solid rock. Even inter atmo jumps are not recommended. On a rescue mission to Caprica a few weeks ago we lost a raptor when it accidentally jumped inside a mountain. Anyway, how large is the hangar?"

"10,000 meters long, by 15,000 wide, and 400 meters tall."

"What hanager is that Admiral?" Archers asked flabbergasted?

"Its on Mars, Division 7 built it for a purely military branch of Earth's forces in the early days of SOL colonisation. It was meant to be a base for their entire operation but it was closed down. Now we plan on turning it into the jumpdrive research center and the factory to build parts for the battlestars."

"How will you get supplies to the hangar."

"We have ways. Since we know that jump drives can jump through the rock we are thinking of placing jump drives on a cargo ship and jumping the ship into the hangar."

"There are ways to make it safer. Using jump beacons is one way." Lee Adama said, speaking up.

"We will have to talk about this later. However we have another issue beyond ships and such. What laws will your people follow. If you are going to live on Earth we have a few laws that are immutable and must be observed…" The discussion went on for hours until finally the decisions were made. "Admiral Cain, I would appreciate it if you would be willing to jump the Enterprise to this repair station that Captain Archer was traveling to. For two reasons, We need to know if the Enterprise will be able to make this journey inside one of your ships. And the Enterprise needs to be repaired to make full warp."

"It will be no problem Admiral Forrest."
