<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/>Myra studied the pile of reports that Commander Heller handed her.  Each piece spelled out a more and more disturbing image of the attacks.  Reports of utter destruction and reports of ships simply 'shutting off' as they neared engagements with Cylon forces gave her pause.<em>"This can't be possible."</em>She thought to herself as she continued reading.  The arrival of the interim XO and her lead Viper pilot distracted her attention from the papers but only long enough that she didn't seem too focused on Commander Heller's reprimand of Major Corvin.<br/><br/><em>I need both of you at your top form.  Two weeks ago, the Cylons launched an all-out nuclear attack against the Colonies.  From what I can gather, the fleet was destroyed, including Admiral Nagalla's flag.  I hate to say it, but we are probably all that's left of humanity.</em><br/><br/>Commander Heller seemed incensed and uncertain of the direction he should go.  Myra couldn't blame him, she was as much at a loss as he should be, the possible destruction of humanity was upon them.  Although they were military personnel, they had no way of knowing how to deal with this kind of crisis.  Commander, two initial reactions to this situation.  First, it seems that somehow the Cylons must have found a way to hack out defense network or our computer systems.  She pulled the two or three sheets of reports out that provided garbled if not confused accounts of the attacks.<em>It says here that ships just shut down in the face of the Cylons. We need to find out how the Cylons compromised the fleet so badly. Until we find that out we maybe as vulnerable as the rest of the fleet was."</em>"I agree with Mr Corvin, from these reports, as confused at they are, it seems the Cylon attackers must have transmitted some sort of shutdown sequence.  Which makes sense when we see how Galactica was able to survive long enough to move to Ragnar anchorage, their computer systems are antiquated and less networked than the new Mercury class ships.  It might be a good idea to reset the computer with the emergency command codes and pull network connections to critical systems until we can ascertain the full level of their ability."<br/><br/>Myra then moved to the star charts zooming in on the colonial systems.  "Unfortunately I don't agree that Ragnar should be our initial focus.  Ragnar is a pretty heavy run from here and there's no way of knowing if we won't jump right into a Cylon fleet waiting outside the anchorage to attack.  Pulling up a star chart of the main colonial systems she pointed at Scorpia and Caprica.  "We should launch two raptors to a deep recon positions just outside sensor range of both Caprica and Scorpion Fleet Shipyards.  If we do it right we should be able to pick up on any Colonial signals and get a handle on any resources or equipment that might still be available.  If we're going to attempt to fight or run we're going to need all of the intel and resources we can find."
