    Ladies and gentlemen of the Colonial fleet, good evening...

    Very soon, we will be engaging in an operation vital to our survival. Although options do exist, none of them will secure us the resources needed to continue in our present state. Although no obvious danger exists, due to the nature of this mission, every single precaution must be taken. By the time you hear this, those of you vital to the success of this endeavour will be getting briefed on the part you will play.

    Just how critical this action will be, cannot be emphasised enough... Should we fail, this could be the most significant defeat since the destruction of the colonies. But should we do our jobs... Should we succeed in our aims... You will have personally contributed to the survival of our species, in a way impossible before.

    Today, we are not Tauron, we are not Virgonese, nor are we Caprican... We are humankind and you, from mechanics to pilots, from navigators to engineers... We are Colonial warriors. If things go as hoped, we'll have nothing more to contend with than a few well-timed demolitions charges. If we meet the unexpected, that's for what we train.

    May the gods grant us passage and may our determination light the way. So say we all.

    We expended a lot of ammunition in that last engagement. Projected estimates of how long we have before the magazines ran empty are worrying. Those for Vipers and Raptors being armed, are slightly less so, but still not promising. Multiple ships increase the fleet's chances of survival, as a whole, but they also mean more weapons and crew to eat up supplies.

    We are, to put it bluntly, running out of options.

    Quite how far the Cylons manage to spread, how extensively they upgraded their industrial base, remains completely unknown. Even the most optimistic appraisals, back when we had colonies, were mostly guess-work. There was very little information on their capabilities, especially when it came to their jump-drives. Can they traverse more space than we can? Such things make it impossible to know where their carriers might hail from. Or even if they require a base of operations, at all.

    So far, we've got two slivers of hope. One is an electronic whisper we picked up of what seemed like coded signals. Didn't last for long. We're prepping to probe the area in question, very low-key. Could be a passing Cylon ship, long gone. Could be even more. Could also be nothing. Still, necessity compels us to act and at least investigate.

    The other is what seems to be a portion of the environment too heavily contaminated with electric and gravimetric distortions, to take any reliable readings from. Again, this could yield nothing.

    With hope, we won't fall apart or die in the process of looking into these phenomena. Until further notice, I can only say we need a miracle - and a fleet-sized miracle, at that.
