Nate was watching the battle on a nearby tactical display as he stood outside the pilot’s ready room, he was fully suited up and had his helmet in his hand, he was just waiting for word to man his ship.<br/><br/>When he saw that they were down to a few fighters he ran for the hanger bay that his fighter sat in, which was on the opposite side on the new Battlestar from the Cylon ships he jumped in his fighter and began talking to the flight crew on his radio.<br/><br/>“Look I don’t give a frack who said I couldn’t launch my brothers are out there dying” he hollered on as he started to climb out to work the launch bays controls, as he did his canopy started to close and he looked to see Jenna , one of his good friends who was also the launch bay controller tapping buttons on the top of his Mk-II Viper preparing it for launch.<br/><br/>Nate quickly strapped in and settled in his seat as the thrust of the catapult launched him out the front of the hanger pod, he hit the afterburners and rocketed up and over the Battlestar as he rolled in to a sharp bank following the curve of the larger ship scanning for Cylon Raiders.<br/><br/>He acquired them about halfway across the Battlestar and engaged it was then he realized that his radio was blasting with all manner of threats and such about his leaving the ship, as he juked and wove his way through the Cylons he continued to shoot not keeping count of the ships he destroyed.<br/><br/>As the Battlestar opened up with its guns on the nearby fighters and the Basestar he saw a lone Viper with a ton of Raiders following it and turned to intercept he armed his missiles and lined up on the leaders when he got tone he fired two into the mix.
