HEROS PREVAIL BUT AT WHAT COST?
BY Reporter Alyaa Moonwall
FLEET NEWS SERVICE
Last week, during the attack on the surface, Captain Bob Glazner was on TQ when he received a distress call. A women ran down the hall of the Queen, shouting for help. This was an indication that something bad was taking place. The women informed the captain, that there was "a war going on outside", and they both decided to make a run for Fort Sukayami. Mr. Glazner and the women armed themselves and headed out, avoiding contact with anyone.
Both made it to the North entrance of the fort, but were met from all sides by cylon fire. Mr. Glazner started firing while the woman drew the the cylon's fire in the opposite direction. Glazner was pulled over the fort wall by a rope, while Katerina continued to bravely fight the centurions until marines arrived to save the day. In the chaos, Captain Glazner who only knew the woman as Katerina says, "That woman, saved my life"
Former CSA Agent, Pete Warwillow bravely led several civilians to the saftey of the Fort, away from the burnining Colonial hall. He did this while trying to hold off the Cylons with nothing but his sidearm. Centurions and raiders destroyed the recently rebuilt apartment complex near Colonial Hall. Colonial Hall was severely damaged and many distraught civilians watchED its ceiling come crashing down as they fled into the Fort. Witnesses reported hearing a young child crying for his mother but the child couldn not be located amidst the smoke and chaos of gunfire. It is unknown as to whether the child made it out alive.
As he ran toward the safety of the Fort, Warwillow noticed movement near the smoking temple. Professor Lillystar Parx was found hiding in the cover of the smoldering ruins. Along with a Marine who yelled for the Secretary of Education to be protected at all costs, Warwillow braved a blaze of centurion fire to reach the official. As the marine provided coverfire, Warwillow bravely escorted the professor to safety. Warwillow loaded his pistol with smoke shells and provided covering fire as the marine made it back across the road to the fort, under a shroud of smoke. They managed to get to the gates, but Warwillow was shot in the back by a Centurion. He was stunned and fell inside the perimeter. His brave actions saved the secretary of education, who escaped the ordeal with only minor injuries. A military spokesperson said the marine involved was "just doing his job to protect the people of this fleet. Secretary Parx was lucky to have his assistance." Secretary Parx could not be reached for comment but her assistant reported that after a brief reunion with her family, she would return to service of the people.
As for Warwillow, his flack vest took most of the damage and he was back out fighting against the cylons within minutes. When outside the fort walls he claims he saw someone by the apartment buildings that had been destroyed. He claimed it was a human surrounded by Cents. Some believe that this was the small child that Bob Glazner heard as the apartment collapsed. As Warwillow raced toward the centurions, he tripped and fell while dodging gunfire. He woke up later, in sickbay.
Bob Glazner, now in the Fort's medical facility, assisted in medical triage. There he found a humanoid Kes Tyran who had been shot in the arm while protecting unarmed citizens near Colonial Hall. Professor Parx provided medical aid to the cylon woman as Mr. Glazner administered first aid and and stabilized the injured. Glazner who had been shot in the leg during his escape also helped treat Mr. Warwillow after he was brought into the facility by colonial soilders.
Everyone who was involved in this, whether it was to fight, defend, or to help the injured, should be thanked. If it wasn't for these brave men and women, this attack may have been the last memory of many in this fleet.
Once again, humanity has shown its ability to persevere. Constant attacks on the surface, our fuel and food sources dimishing, our loved ones dying yet we refuse to give up our home. Everything appears to be collapsing around us, and it makes me wonder how much longer we can go on. I feel as though we are Humpty Dumpty and we are all sitting on that wall about to have a that big fall. Only time can tell.
