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: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 06:26 am (UTC)One last lie to atone for the rest.
She did her job. She got that last ship through.
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 08:07 pm (UTC)He takes a deep breath and approaches, viewing her through the protective plastic panels and lays a hand on her arm. Her face and hands are covered in radiation burns and her skin has the whitish pallor of someone about to die.
He smiles affectionately.
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 08:18 pm (UTC)"I'm sorry, Sir. I just... I had to..."
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 08:25 pm (UTC)He squeezes her arm, hoping his next words will bring some happiness and sense of satisfaction to the rest of her short life.
"I'm telling you about a promotion. I'm making you CAG again."
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 08:34 pm (UTC)And then she thinks about the implications of being Starbuck's CAG. She nearly laughs, until she realizes just what the admiral is doing for her, exactly how sincere he is. Then her tears just start flowing more freely.
She speaks softly, but there's no question in her mind. "You know I'm not going to make it out of here." She drags in another breath, her lungs burning with the effort. "Thank you, Sir."
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 09:30 pm (UTC)"You earned it. What you did was harder than facing a bullet. And you did it without putting one other soul in harm's way." He smiles softly, squeezing her arm. "Don't know if I could have done that."
A sudden feeling of helplessness comes over him, a feeling that he'd had so many times, of his people dying and him without any power to stop it.
"I wish there was something more that I could give you."
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 09:54 pm (UTC)"No, CAG is good." She pauses for a moment. She owes him so much. Him and this whole fleet. Even Starbuck, pain in the ass though she may be. They took her in and accepted her at face value and never asked any questions. She's found friends here, and a family like she's never known before... Making up her mind to tell him the truth, she starts speaking again. "Sir, there's something I should tell you. Kara knows, but I... I wanted to tell you myself."
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 11:30 pm (UTC)"You were a good CAG - you kept your people safe enough to be brave. Does what you have to tell me change any of that?"
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-01 11:50 pm (UTC)Finally, it's the incongruous fact of his solemn presence that prompts her to speak. Quietly, so that she won't break whatever spell has been cast on this room. "You're staying?"
Re: SICK BAY
Date: 2010-12-02 04:08 am (UTC)He sits with her for a long time, talking about his children and his family growing up on Tauron. Eventually, her eyes close and her breathing becomes labored. Cottle approaches him to let him know she won't be regaining consciousness, but Bill waves him off.
He is honored to be with her for the last few hours of her life.
