Today we're jumping up one episode to "The Passage"
The entire fleet is cranky and hungry from strict food rationing. Athena has found the algae planet and in order to get there the fleet has to travel through the radiation filled gas cloud. Tensions are high, plans need to be made, and since it's been crisis after crisis with the fleet and fighter squadron the pilots still haven't been able to figure out where they stand. Here's a handy episode rundown courtesy of Battlestar Wiki if you need specifics.
But first to catch you up....
Previously on the NT RPG:
We started the story at the end of UB and Lee and Kara remained laying in the boxing ring after everyone had gone. The knuckledraggers were ordered by Tigh to get the hanger deck back into shape. Helo came along and saved the day by getting the pilots up and off the deck.
Lee went on his own to the head to shower and clear his mind of all that had transpired at the dance. Helo had another plan and dropped Starbuck right back into his lap by delivering her over his shoulder to the head. The crew was sure to start gossiping so Starbuck cleared the room and she and Lee got down to talking about the current state of their relationship. Lee won’t cheat and tells Kara he wants more, Kara admits leaving him in the field and marrying Anders was a mistake and lets it slip that there is more to her abduction on New Caprica. Lee pushes and Kara agrees to talk to him about Leoben and what happened during the occupation
Meanwhile, Roslin sits with Adama in Sickbay while he’s getting patched up from his round with the Chief. Cottle reprimands the old man and orders him off duty for 24 hrs. The President escorts the Admiral back to his quarters and along the way they run into Col. Tigh who lets the cat out of the bag about Starbuck and Apollo’s night on New Caprica. Adama is, of course, dumbfounded. Once in Bill’s quarters Laura tells him that Kara would look to the stars at night and see Pegasus passing and that now she understood that all those months on New Caprica, Kara was missing Lee.
Chief and Cally were trying to sort out the crew chatter about the Dance and find out if the deck gang was doing their jobs or gossiping. Helo and Athena discuss their friends and hope that none of them get hurt in the mess. Sleep eludes Karl and he makes his way to the Gym where Starbuck is already going at the punching bag, the two talk and Kara confides in Helo about her situation with Sam and Lee. He reminds her that she deserves to be happy.
Kat’s avoiding all the drama by heading to the firing range and in walks Sam Anders. Sam knows he’s eventually going to have to face his wife but refuses to be the one to run after her. Kat and Sam both shoot off a few rounds and Kat feels bad for the man as she has witnessed what a Starbuck dressing down does to a nugget, she invites him for a drink.
After his conversation about New Caprica with Kara in the ready room, Lee makes a decision that no matter what happens he’s leaving Dee. He makes his way back to his quarters and begins to pack when Dee walks in. Kara exhausted from the dance and talking, returns to the head to grab a shower before her lunch date with Apollo.
People all over Galactica know that things have changed and everyone wonders what will happen next…

thegreenkitty is going to be offline for awhile so if anyone is interested in picking up Cottle let me know! Until we can get someone to play and move him around any use of Cottle has to be in Sickbay. So if you're character ends up there you can mod him for the purpose of your scene. Baltar also comes into play shortly so anyone interested in playing the crazy mad scientist he's also open for business as well as Head!Six.
The RPG post for "The Passage" will remain active and open until 11:59PM EST Wednesday. On Thursday's RPG post we will jump another episode to the "Eye of Jupiter" which will run through the end of the week. Please let me know if your character will be unable to check in any of those days and if so, we'll try and work something out.
Post, read and have fun!

Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 02:34 am (UTC)"Yeah, well, you and Kara fighting is nothing new." He gave Lee an even stare. "I know you left Dee after the dance and I want to know what happened."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 02:52 am (UTC)He took a deep breath. "I made a mistake. With Dee." Lee paused, gathering his resolve. "I never should have married her."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:05 am (UTC)Bill took the leap that would either send Lee flying out of his office or maybe it would bridge the gap. He had no idea.
"Because of Kara." He stated it as a fact, not a question.
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:12 am (UTC)"It's...Kara's always been...Since the first minute I met her...I just didn't realize how much," His string of tortured, half-finished phrases lamely trailed off and he saw his father's eyes widen, and Lee rushed on to clarify. "Nothing happened, I mean not before, not when she was with Zak. Not really."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:25 am (UTC)"Well, that's the problem isn't it?" Bill said. "Zak."
Bill let out a breath and leaned back in his chair. Kara and Zak - it was something he'd tried to put behind him, but here it was again.
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:28 am (UTC)Lee frowned. What was he trying to say? That he should keep away from Kara because of some...some useless notion of propriety that had surely died not long after Zak?
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:39 am (UTC)Bill had to admit to being confused. It was the end of the worlds and if he told himself the truth, he was already half taken with Laura Roslin, despite the fact that he still loved Carolanne. He couldn't really hold Kara or Lee to a different standard.
Just as soon as he said it, Bill raised his hand to stop Lee's inevitable comment. He decided to be honest.
"I won't lie to you, Lee - it bothers me. I never saw you two as more than friends. And then you married Dee. She is a good woman. She's like a daughter to me, too. Both of them - Kara and Dee."
Bill frowned, thinking that he hadn't intended to say so much to his son. He doubted the man needed his judgments right now. But there they were.
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:44 am (UTC)"Well, with all due respect, sir, there's a lot of things you never saw."
He shoved his chair back, standing and leaning over the desk towards his father. "And I don't think you have much room to talk about the sanctity of marriage, either."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:47 am (UTC)"Sit down, Major," Bill grated. "I don't think this is the time or place to discuss your mother and me."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 03:59 am (UTC)"Look, Dad, I don't know what you want to hear. Kara and I both loved Zak and I would give almost anything to have him back. But...the feelings I have for Kara...they aren't something I can deny. I've tried, believe me, I have tried. For years." He shook his head. "I love her, Dad. And...I think she loves me too."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS
Date: 2010-11-30 04:09 am (UTC)When he met his son's eyes again, he saw the raw emotion and recognized the truth of what he had said. Part of him wanted to hold on to the past, but he knew Lee was right about Zak. He had to let it go.
He just wasn't as sure about Kara's intentions towards Lee.
"I hope you're right, son."
Re: ADMIRAL'S QUARTERS--completed scene
Date: 2010-11-30 04:18 am (UTC)Feeling a pang of worry, he tried to tamp it down. She'd confided in him, told him that leaving him was a mistake. That had to mean something.
He chanced a tentative smile as he responded. "I hope so too."
His father gave him a long look, then, with a trace of a smirk, wished him Good Hunting. Lee sighed as he made his way out of the hatch and headed for the hanger deck. He had a feeling this indeed might be the hardest battle he had to face yet.
