<div class="floatleft">(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/MyraTalos-1.jpg)</div>Name:  Myra Talos<br/>Rank:  Lieutenant Commander, CF<br/>Position:  Commander Air Group (CAG), Battlestar Ares<br/><br/><em>Commander Talos, set up your deep probe mission.  You're right, we need harder intel for our situation.  If we can be sure of making passage to Ragnar from here, we'll do it, but I want to make sure it's clear, first.</em><br/><br/>Myra nodded to the commander, turning quickly to her status board for her squadrons.  Picking up a nearby comm phone Myra typed in the number for her Air Group command center and waited for her Lieutenant to answer.  "Crieghton, Prep Raptor 455 and 456.  We're doing a deep jump recon mission to Caprica and Scorpion Fleet Yards.  Send Wyatt, Kahn, Lianna and Quinn up to CIC so I can brief them on the mission.  Also inform the chief of the deck that we are pulling the C4R network connections from all of the Vipers and Raptors.  Pilots will have to learn how to compensate for flight controls through good old fashion skill.  I want the network connections pulled by 1800.  Start with Raptor 455 and 456, they hit space in forty five minutes."<br/><br/><em>Lt Commander Talos, can I speak with you in my office for a moment?</em>Myra checked her calculations on the deep jump entry points one more time then followed Major Corvin into a nearby office.  "I really don't have time for this Mr. Corvin.  I have Ops to plan and Vipers to get refitted."<br/><br/><em>"I have this bottle of ambrosia for about 10 years. I only open it for major events, Promotions, General Court Martials, the Colonies being destroyed. Lt Commander you and I have few things to talk about.  After the news we just got, I figured we could both use a little.  With me being made the XO, this will change a few things. For one you are going to have to find a new flight leader. Any ideas on that?  I wanted to make sure we are still good?  Technically you should have gotten this slot not me. Are you OK with that? Being the XO is not what I signed up for, but a good marine says Yes Sir and does what he is told."</em><br/><br/>Myra took the small taste of Ambrosia, appreciating the fact that the niceties of home would no longer be things to be taken for granted.  "To the Colonies"  She said holding it up in a small somber toast before swallowing the small taste with a quick flick of her wrist.  The warm flavorful liquid slightly burned the back of her throat.  Setting the small glass down on the table.  "We have been working together for the last few months and you are a great pilot and officer, and I'm sure you'll make a good XO.  I have no problem with our working relationship of mutual respect from the last few months continuing.  I think we both have learned each other's quirks and how the other works and the way I see it we are Commander Heller's most senior advisers and he's going to need our insight and expertise to get through the coming turmoil.  Myra walked around the desk for a moment, studying some of the trinkets placed around the room.<br/><br/>"I've never been much for ship command, my skills are in flight and tactics so you being XO works better all around."  Myra began to turn towards the door leading to the CIC, but turned back to Major Corvin.  "As for the new Squadron Commander for the 3rd Squadron, please give me a list of names you think would be good candidates and I'll make a decision as soon as possible.  I would also recommend XO, that you get the comm techs working on pulling the C4R connections from the network.  We need to isolate key systems before we engage the Cylons.  And by the way...Congratulations."  With a nod, she turned back towards to door leading to the CIC and walked through.
