Both mercenaries instantly leveled their weapons on the figure as he emerged, and Hagan turned, stepping back. "I tire of these intrusions!" He called out, narrowing his eyes at the figure, despite the whine of weapons and the leveling of the two mercenaries. "Say your piece." He called out, reaching for the trigger guard of his jeweled cane.

"Five minutes." Hagan asserted.

And then, as if Zeus himself had heard their pleas and had answered their prayers at the most opportune moment, the sound of shouting could be heard from farther down the tunnels.

"Anyone here? Any survivors in this bunker?"

The Langaran refugees would be greeted to the sight of Tech Con rescue workers and guards, easily overriding the bunker's security clearance and freeing the trapped survivors. They'd brought food and medical supplies with them, and quickly began distributing the rations among the masses.

"Alright, alright, take it easy," a relief worker addressed the crowds, "eat all you like, but not too fast. We're gonna take this slow, kay'? No going up all at once. There's still a frak-ton of radiation above ground, so we're going to extract you nice and slow."

Another Tech Con agent tapped the worker on the shoulder. "We just checked Bunker 304. All dead."

The worker swore under his breath. "What about the one on Main?"

"Twelve survivors. Not a lot to go with."

"Great Hera. Tell the chief to head towards that one beneath the Haven Nightclub. I'm pretty sure that one was stocked with enough food to keep em' lasting."

Another worker overheard them talking and ran up to the pair. "I dunno' man, I heard every refugee in that shelter died. Not worth Hagan's time to look into it."

"Is there any way we can know for sure if there are still survivors in the Haven bunker?"

Kelby grabbed a ration, but held it in deft hands. They were saved, and it seemed like a miracle.

"Shit, are you serious?" One of the Aschen Soldiers said to the Tech Con agent. "We were hit pretty bad, huh?" He then continued on to help the relief workers distribute goods and keep order.

"Thanks for the rescue," The second soldier smiled grimly. "Haven bunker? That's way out the way of the chaos I heard." He pointed in a random direction, since they were underground. Kelby overheard the word Haven and looked up. Hadn't...

Hadn't Rex been there? Yeah, actually, I'm pretty sure Roana- Kelby's stomach clenched. She didn't have Rex's number, but Roana did. She was...outside. But... Maybe there was a chance...No.

"My friend," She spoke before she could stop herself, "Outside. Her boyfriend was at The Haven Nightclub. They were um," She looked down then up again as the crowd began to look at her. "...Texting."

Outside Graystone Industries, a cell phone would ring.

And that cell phone would, unfortunately, continue to ring without pause. No one would answer it. No one was there.

After Kelby confirmed that there were, in fact, survivors in the Haven bunker, Tech Con was quick to dispatch a rescue operation to the location. Dominic Hagan himself accomponied this one. Tech Con's humanitarian efforts in Caprica was HIS project, after all. He felt he ought to be among the workers first-hand. He owed this city that much, at least.

Much like at Kelby's bunker, Tech Con came in with fire and fury. They quickly distributed rations and medicine among the survivors, listing out a detailed extraction plan and attending to the wounded. Dominic Hagan moved from refugee to refugee, shaking hands and asking questions. Although his movements were methodical, there was a sincere empathy in his movements, as if he were really putting his heart into this.

In time, he came to Braxton.

"You okay?" he asked, offering a wrapped food ration to the man who hardly looked a day older then he was. He offered the Aschen a sympathetic smile. "You look worried. Aren't you happy you're getting out of here?"

Braxton continued to stare at his phone, despite the relief efforts. He didn't wait in line, as he was fine, but instead waited for a response from his love. Though he didn't spot the girl, Gerard walked by and shot him a half smile. He seemed to be headed somewhere.

"Huh? Yeah," Braxton looked at his peer through hard eyes, "What's it like out there?" He then looked back to his phone.
"I'm..." It seemed foolish but, no, "Waiting for a text."

Kelby clutched the survivors packet and watched as they dispatched for the Haven Nightclub. With pain in her heart she wondered if Rex even survived. Looking around as people broke off into huddles, Kelby shed a tear for Roana. The woman then settled alone into a corner, placed her head in her arms on her knees, and waited for slow extraction. Silently the woman wept.

Dominic shrugged. "Lil' hot. Bout two hundred degrees Celsius. Best to wear sunscreen." He smiled, looking down at Braxton's phone. The poor boy was waiting for the call of a loved one... a call he'd likely never get.

A Tech Con trooper walked over to Dominic. "Sure, the last of our refugee camps in Leonis has been filled. We're out of places to put these people."

Dominic turned to the trooper. "Send whoever's left to my private estate. I'll attend to them personally."

"Yes sir."

Dominic turned back to Braxton. Most of the other refugees were filing in line for processing. He needed to get this kid moving now... else he might never get up again.

"Hey," he called out softly, "hey, what's your name?" He offered his hand to the young man. "Let me help you up. We're going to get you out of here, alright? Can I do that for you?"

Braxton's heart dropped. Not survivable for anyone. If she wasn't in a bunker, she wasn't alive. He clenched his jaw at the thought, gripping his phone even harder. She would respond. She had to respond.

"Braxton Mortemira," He let himself be helped, figuring Gerard could look out for himself.

"Yeah, alright."

Kelby continued to cry for the loss of her life, and the unknown of her future.

"Braxton Mortemira," Dom smiled, "my name is Dominic Hagan, and I am honored to serve you." He helped Braxton to his feet, leading him through the thronging masses of refugees. "I'll take this one myself," he nodded towards a Tech Con guard. He would lead Braxton through the tunnels of the bunker towards the landing pad. A Kevlin force field kept the incredible radiation heat from getting into the bunker. Up ahead, a Tech Con transport awaited them.

"Do you have any family own in the bunker with you, Braxton?" Dominic asked as he lead the boy towards the ship, "anyone else that I can arrange to stay with you when we arrive at my manor?"

Eventually, a kind-faced Tech Con agent would kneel down in front of Kelby and lightly touch her shoulder.

"Come on ma'am," he smiled at her, "come on. It's time to get up. It's time to let go. Come on. The world won't get fixed in here." He offered her his hand.

Braxton nodded and looked to his phone once more before pocketing it. He would wait forever if he had to, so long as she responded. She had to respond. He followed Dominic Hagan in silence. It seemed he was leaving this place quickly, but where were they going?

Oh that's right. The manor. Braxton shook his head, patting his pocket.

"Only my woman, and she's got my number."

Kelby looked up, wet roads down the dust on her face. She took his hand and rose. He was right. From down here, she could do Langara no help. Swallowing this, latching on to this, Kelby would be lead by the Tech Con agent wherever safety happened to be

High above Langara, just beyond it's orbit into the depths of space, a rescue was under way. From Caprica City citizens were swept by an unknown ally in the midst of terror and destruction. Riots had stricken the streets of Caprica, the people rallied in abandon at the end of the world. In the madness descended an unknown enemy. From the clouds dropped a seed of death, the mother's crash landing eclipsed in the after-flare of defensive detonation.

The ship coursed true to wherever it was going. The Aschen Citizens inside didn't know much about their final destination, only that it was a promise away from Hell. From the safety and comfort of a guest cabin they did what they must to cope. After all, they were survivors.

Expression nearly blank, Gerard Lorette gazed out a large ovular window. It was cool to the touch; he was glad to discover this when leaning against it. The view was captivating, something he hadn't seen in a while. He never quite got used to the feeling of watching the planet shrink behind him. He sighed, looking to the other in the cabin.

"So, I guess here we are."

Alisia folded her arms as she halted, standing behind Gerard. She let out a long sigh, captivated by the sight beyond the window. "Yeah, here we are indeed." She replied, not sure of what to say really. Curling a strand of brown hair behind her ear, she continued gazing outside the window. "I never would have guessed things would get this out of control..." The female said remembering the situation they were in, her gaze moving away from the window. Realising how odd things were once again.

A boom and then a crack echoed in the distance, followed by plumes of smoke rising up on the horizon. Clearly seen from the village. Something Strange was going on, the sound of a thousand bad things encroaching on the fringes of the jungles surrounding the village...

The cracks of laspistol fire echoed through the jungle, catching the ears of five Tech Con Mercenaries making their way through the jungle as they surveyed lumbering points and native strongholds.

"Did you hear that?" Corporal Emerson said, slinging his Plasma rifle on his shoulder. Sergeant Siler nodded.

"Yeah, sounded like weapons fire, coming from the falls."

"Let's go, make a move on." The Sergeant said, as they started quickly towards the incoming weapons fire, boots impacting the underbrush as they ran. "Get frosty men!" He called out, as the five men quickly followed behind.

It was a short jaunt, and they quickly came up on the waterfalls. Five men in total with weapons drawn and aimed down at the lone 'Imperial.'

"You! Drop your weapons!" Sergeant Siler called out, racking his Plasma rifle, while the remaining mercenaries quickly moved to take cover.

"I grew up on the mountains didn't I?" Lerot breathed, still surprised at how close he was to being dead....again.

He chanced a glance over the rock at the firefight that was unfolding.

I come here to study a waterfall....and a war breaks out....

"I vote we get out of here and let them kill each other." The mage was no soldier, and he doubted he'd be able to handle himself even if he was.
