Re: Lee/Tamara
The Mark II served us well during the war.
Slang. We didn't know they looked human for a long time.
I believe you.
The Cylons attacked. Destroyed most of the Fleet, and then came after the Colonies. Bombed the planets. We numbered less than 50,000 after we fled. I'd been in the Colonial Reserve then, as a Viper pilot. We spent the next few years on the run, under attack, trying to find somewhere safe to settle. My father - Bill - was commander of the Fleet at the time. We had one battlestar for most of it, Galactica. Our people settled on a planet we named New Caprica, but the Cylons found us again, occupied the planet for several months. I was commander of Pegasus at the time. Helped my father rescue everyone that was left. One final showdown with the Cylons left them with the Colony falling into a black hole, and a crippled Galactica drifting in an unknown solar system. That's when we found Earth - New Earth. Settled with the few remaining humans we had, and the Cylons who'd been our allies. I spent what I think was a couple years on the planet, exploring, trying to climb mountains, watching humanity start all over again.
