As we look back at our life over the past few months, so many stories
have made their way to conversations. Little pieces of our history
shared in dark corner conversations, over cigarettes and past its prime
coffee. FNS takes a moment to bring you some of those stories.
Reminding us all, just how much we have fought for what little we have
left.
One such remembrance tells the story of those brave
souls that fought to keep Pacifica afloat as the cylons came to destroy us once and for all. Humanity's resilience, once again, proved not to be outdone. FNS remembers:
As the Mars Day celebration was underway, Cylons began their merciless attack on Sanctuary and the ships that remained in orbit. Fleet engineers, civilian and military, banded together in a hurried search to find cylon tracking devices that intelligence indicated were placed through the ship. Unfortunately, cylons attacked before the sweep was complete and they civilian fleet was left to jump away while the battlestars fended off the enemy as best they could until all the devices were located.
During the chaos, Pacifica covered the civilian ships as they jumped to the emergency location. Not all ships were able to escape the attack and over 10, 000 souls were lost that day. The Brunnehilde suffered the same fate and was last seen in a decaying orbit around the planet after her crew made an emergency escape using what was left of the battlestar's raptor fleet. Pacifica incurred major damage and was barely able to spool up their FTL drive and rejoin the fleet. The Battlestar was ablaze, and the ship was going to be lost. The Commanader ordered all crew abandon ship, to save themselves as he vented the atmosphere to put out the last of the fires. Commander Perry was severely injured while carrying out his heroic duties and was left bedridden for several months following this ordeal.
Commander Perry, like the thousands in the fleet he has stood to represent did not give up. Cylons seemed to have the upper hand and our end looked imminent. Thousands of lives were lost and one of our Battlestars destroyed. From his burning ship, he could have taken one last breath and given in. No more running. No more fighting. No more misery. But the Commander stood tall. He ordered his men and woman to safety and stayed behind to get the job done. His efforts meant that many of us will live to fight another day, along side the now repaired battlestar. As Commander Perry has demonstrated time and time again-so says humanity. We will never give up! SO SAY WE ALL!
