*ziip* Ahem, thank you Mistoffeles, see you in 33 minutes.
Now now, Chief, we are all well aware what an excellent job you do with such a challenging problem- but these mark II machines were old when you and I were children, it amazes me they can even make it out of the bay, let alone destroy Cylon fighters. You can hardly be blamed for the inevitable decline in efficiency and protective capability the fleet will soon be facing. Even Colonel Flyboy will admit we cannot go on as we are without risking catastrophe, let us be clear- we simply need more resources if we are to have a hope of surviving, so the question arises- where from? Where can we find the fuel, armaments, water and food we need?
What's that? The Cylons have prodigious resources? Are you mad! How can we hope to strike back against their superior forces and seize the valuable resources (and maybe advanced weapons technology) we so desperately need? That would require a daring plan involving huge risks, that only the boldest pilots could carry out, we cannot ask it of our noble colleagues, they already risk so much in our names.
They would have to be volunteers. And only the Military are capable of forming such a bold plan, I will have no part in it (unless my technical expertise becomes necessary, of course). Colonel Flyboy? Any news of the Commander? |
