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: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 01:20 am (UTC)Kara stood in the memorial Hallway with Kat's photograph in hand. Whoever she was, whoever she had been in the past, Kara had known her as a good shot, a devoted soldier, and a pain in her ass. She even felt fond of that last part. It was so much harder to hate someone when they were gone with the gods.
Placing the photograph on the wall, Kara sank down onto a bench. She glanced around at the photographs, gaze lingering on the pilots. Every day they risked their lives. Every day was a chance not to come back. Kara's mind skittered to the photo in her locker. The one of her and Lee and Zak. Kara had searched for Lee earlier after her talk with Adama and had come up empty. But the tickle of resolve she had felt then-flustered that anyone could say who she could not be with- turned darker making her feel damned foolish for putting everything off so frakking long out of fear.
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 01:56 am (UTC)But now...well none of that seemed to matter so much. Not after Kat. Gods, he still couldn't believe she was gone. They hadn't been particularly close, but he knew Kara always had a strange connection of sorts with Kat. They fought like cats and dogs, but he knew Kara well enough to know, she would have simply ignored the girl if she hadn't cared about her.
And he needed to be there for her. Regardless of anything they decided or didn't decide.
Lee walked down the hall and sank down on the bench next to Kara. "Hey."
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 02:11 am (UTC)Kara took a deep breath before she turned to look at him. A sickening thought kicked her in the gut. When would it be Lee's photo on this wall? She pursed her lips trying to force the thought away. She remembered talking to Adama, the warning that having a relationship might make things dangerous, might get them hurt. Not exactly out of keeping with Kara's track record. But it felt clearer now. She was so tired of living in fear. Perhaps it wasn't the best place to do so, but she leaned in to Lee and brushed her lips against his.
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 02:21 am (UTC)For a second he couldn't think, his senses overwhelmed like they always were when she was this close. But slowly his brain kicked into action and he realized the inappropriateness of this. Inappropriate for the location and for how they'd left things. He couldn't help feeling like this was an effort to distract him. Gently he grabbed her arms and broke away.
"Kara?"
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 02:29 am (UTC)Kara watched his face waiting for his reaction, wanting to see a glimpse of the man who had cornered her and pushed her out of her comfort zone. She certainly was out of it now and she wondered how long it would tale him to join her.
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 02:39 am (UTC)"Okay." Lee tried to process, his brain unable to compute. "What does that mean?"
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 02:58 am (UTC)She sat back, watching his face to see if he finally got the picture.
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 03:10 am (UTC)Part of him still felt like he was about to get the rug pulled out from under him again. He couldn't trust this happiness; he'd been here before.
"Okay. You left Sam. And what does that mean... for us?"
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 03:16 am (UTC)Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 03:33 am (UTC)His mouth opened, but he couldn't squeeze out sounds around the lump in his throat. So he just whispered, his lips grazing the shell of her ear.
"Thank you."
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY
Date: 2010-12-01 03:50 am (UTC)And yet, Kara tensed, feeling more exposed than ever in that moment. She pulled back just enough to whisper in his ear. "I don't know about you Apollo, but after a day like this I need a drink."
Re: MEMORIAL HALLWAY - completed
Date: 2010-12-01 04:13 am (UTC)"Okay, let's go."
