11-14-2015 OP Queimada Grande: (Snake Planet)
Hi Everyone,
Here’s our latest mission performed by Battlestar Raven Battle Group (RBG). This OP has two first time performances. First, the newly commissioned Gunstar Trireme commanded by Colonel Leonidas and crew; second, the Ravens Seekers Squadron lead by its first CO Lt Jg Mik Mo along with Ens. Wedge and Ens. Freya, new members of the group.
The OP gets its name from the TV reality show Treasure Quest: Queimada Grande. Yes there’s also an island full of poisonous snakes except in this case, the whole planet is infested with snakes not just the island. The Cylons used the snakes as a means to keep humans from colonizing the planet. Their dastardly plan almost worked if it were not for a defective trigger happy toaster that shot down one of our Blackbirds sent to explore Cylon space.
The Raven sent SAR to retrieve the downed pilot. Ensign’s Wedge and Apex volunteered for the dangerous rescue flight and they barely made it off of QG with their lives while fending off snakes and Cylons stationed on the secret island garrison. As their Raptor jumped away from the planet, three Basestars showed up on Dradis. The RBG certainly has their hands full this time and no one knows what the Cylons have in store for our gallant crews.
The OP was set to take place at 10:PM Saturday the 14th of November. The RBG was anxious and ready to attack, so the OP started a bit earlier than planned. The mission quickly came to life and the comments were posted so fast it was hard to keep up.
I invite you to read what took place during the fast paced mission. If this interests you, please feel free to join us next time here in Forum Chat at the BFC.
Disclaimer: (No Snakes were harmed during this OP except for those that attacked our Marines and the snakes that made it to the Barbeque. The marinated Snake served with Pico De Gallo and the Snacon were crowd pleasers and are highly recommended by the chef!!!!!LOL)

Reamers Viper’s been hit, sparks flying as the Raider that jumped into his space explodes, Reamers upper engine and rudder is turn off as his Viper tumbles out of control. Reamer is knocked unconscious from the impact while his Viper is heading for a collision course toward QG.
READY COUNTERMEASURES,
316 is at the barn.
MARDET throw IR sources to clear snakes.
REAMER get in here
Fortunately, Reamers Viper enters the atmosphere above land. Reamer snaps out of it moments before his Viper crashes he struggles to regain control but all he can do is brace for impact.
Reamer’s been hit...get a track on him Wedge
REAMER DOWN! Sirs, requesting authorization to conduct CSAR operations!
Reamers Viper loses both its wings as it crashes through trees in the jungle. Just then it breaks into a clearing as it makes contact with the ground scraping along and then it comes to an abrupt stop in what looks like a giant nest of some type.
COVER THE EGRESS AND CSAR
SCORE hit on and base minor damage
Wedge, take 335 and conduct SAR
Wedge you have 2 Mardet for security, WATCH those SNAKES1
Perseus lets cover the CAG
It’s turns out to be a huge snake nest and the snakes are crawling all over what’s left of the Viper. Reamer thinks quickly, he smashes open his instrument panel to expose the main power wire. He removes the positive wire and switches it with the ground and tries to perform a restart so the electric current will energize the Vipers hull to electrocute the snakes.
Remaining raptors on the ground, awaiting marines
Affirmative, wilco.
LZ clear…… ready for pickup MARDET!!!

Eyes the chief giving Typhoon grief for the damage on 316
Sure Why no Gunny.
I'm pretty sure he did, Blindsword. One of his marines had a few satchel charges and it didn't come home with me.
Send a nuke into the system and it can home in on Beacon 3-3-3.
Shutting down 343, saving the ship
Snakes on the Grill and what an amazingly sweet smell filling the hanger bay.

Still sits in 343, receiving a strange transmission, something saying Baylor 20, Oklahoma 34
Reamer breaks open the cooler he hid in his Viper parking spot and passes out a few Bottles for the pilots in line for barbecued snake.
How are My Spartans? (We're Great, Sir! It's Good To See You Again! You got A Can of Whoopass in that Ship Of Yours!)

You recycled your share of local bad guy talent..... including about a thousand snakes in the pick-up zone.....thanks for the ride.....
Goodbye, Sir!
Reamer passes out a few more bottles of Ambrosia.....
It was quite a good fireworks show
Salutes
*snags a piece of snacon*
Snacon lol
Have a great night Wedge!!!
Yum
that shouldn't be so funny
Oh well, it is!!!!!
What, sending me to bed? I was saying goodbye to the Col as he was leaving!
How about Snake Jims instead of Slim jims?
Compliments of your friendly neighborhood Marine Catering Crew: Snakes on the Barbie......
Oh sorry Wedge....I didn't think it was time for you to hit the rack.....
Col. the crew is reporting that they're excited for this snake BBQ everyone's talking about
Mmmh-MMMH! That's real good!
While you guys are at it, why not snake jerky
We'll let him stay up awhile since it’s the weekend
Snancakes?
Jerky sound good!!!
They Should Be, It Kinda Smells Good; Anyway, Secure the Hatch, and Prep for Launch
Glad to see the entire fleet is now acting as my mother lol
Copy that Col.
Next time I'm in the QG neighborhood, I'll get me some more of these sweet tasting snakes.....
You can take it anywhere, Maybe it can be barbecue flavor
We're prepped and ready for launch when you're ready!
Who knew something so deadly would taste sooooooo good!!!
Reamer's catering might have some good businesssssssss
(Raptor 360 Leaves Raven , returning to Trireme)
As long as it doesn't slither away
Reamer staggers past his Vipers checking for damage.....
Freya, how's 350 looking?
He takes another swig from his Ambrosia and spots a heavily damages Viper.....
Wedge, like the Drill Sergeant says: Fleet is Family, and you're, for the moment, the junior member of the firm. But you'll get there soon.
Repairs are underway Col. not much damage though
Well, it’s good to be a part of the family. *Raises his bottle* To the Fleet!
she’s a little banged up got a lot of crud flying in and out of that atmosphere
Reamer climbs up the ladder and looks into the cockpit to see a pilot that’s badly bleeding.....
shouldn’t be too long before I’ll be good to go
Good deal, you did a great job
A tin can has put a hole in Raining Fury, mind you it won't be doing it again
Get a couple medics over here ASAP and get this man to sick bay.....
on route
Runs to the intercom. Sickbay, get a crash cart down here immediately!
Good; Raptor 360 to trireme, Request Hands-On Port side; Tekk the Cook we Have A Surprise For Him(Roger That, Call The Ball) Speed 107,I have the Ball
Reamer puts down the Ambrosia and checks out all the other Vipers.......
wut did I say catch any u find
They're all clear; that was the only pilot that didn't make it out when he landed.
Seekers, head count. All pilots and ECO's soundoff.
freya here, dune already went to hit the rack
343 secured Mik and Mac good to go
It looks like the Chief and his knuckle draggers have their work cut out for them.
willow's atthe bar. We're all good here.
stargazer here
(Helps CAG apply a tourniquet to Pilots arm).
There's a lot of shot up Vipers and then there's the deck to repair as well.
chief ain’t gonna b happy
(Crash cart arrives, the pilot loaded up)
Take good care of that pilot.
Col. we've come in safely; snake is being delivered to cook as we speak!
I'm sure the chief loves to hear "combat landing"
Ssssimply sssssssscrumptious
Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!
The snakes feel the same way about us.
RAPTOR PILOTS FLYING BY
I think he likes to hear that as much as he likes his knuckle draggers saying "oops"
(Trireme Hangar deck) Chief Cool, Deliver this to the Cook (WHAT THE FRAK IS THIS,SIR?) That's Snake Surprise, and you will Love it!
one of these days we ll get out of hot spot nice n ez
OH Well, that's the way it goes.
It'sssssssss not easy being dead....
RAPTOR PILOTS FLYING HIGH

SWOOPING DOWN, NAIL HIS ASS

Little too much Ambrosia here

Our Raptor Group, The GREMLINS, are Going to have A Lot Of Catching up to Do!
Too much ambrosia, got to let some out! Night all

It's just not fair to the wildlife... Raptors don't usually have heat-seeking missiles

Cracks it open and starts chugging it down.

Ladies and Gentlemen, caution is suggested, snake snacks and Ambrosia can make you feel smart, good looking, invisible and bullet-proof....but it ain't true.....(Salutes).

"Hello,
I'm Ernie Miller and as the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club Adminstrator of Colonial Affairs,
I welcome you on behalf of the leadership of the BFC.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you on the site"
Welcome
So Say We All !!!!!!
Paris.
May our thoughts go to them. With heavy hearts, we lift up their bodies to you, oh Lords of Kobol, in the knowledge that you will take from them their burdens and give them life eternal. We also pray that you look down upon us now, with mercy and with love, just as you did upon our forefathers many years ago. Just as you led us from Kobol and found the twelve worlds, so now we hope and pray that you will lead us to a new home where we may begin life anew. So say we all.
SO SAY WE ALL!
Colonials,
Tomorrow, 11 November 2015, is Veterans Day!
On behalf of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club Leadership, we would just like to wish all the men and women in uniform, both past and current, that are members here at the BFC, HAPPY VETERANS DAY! We would also like to remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty. You maybe gone, but you will never be forgotten. So if you see a veteran, please thank them for their service. A simple "THANK YOU" really comes a long way to those veterans. It warms their hearts. All those times away from home and their love ones, is priceless and cannot be replace but is a sacrifice each and everyone that puts on the uniform, have to do.
We would also like to wish all US Marines, both past and current, who are also members here at the BFC, a HAPPY 240th Birthday to the United States Marines Corps (10 November 1775)! SEMPER FIDELIS to all of you!
In Service,
"Dragon Lady"

11/05/2015 "Bones" TV show (Ep. 6/Season 11), "The Senator in the Street Sweeper", has multiple references to Re-imagined BSG:
"Jessica and Aubrey say they were binge watching Battlestar Galactica, and I found that fracking awesome. They definitely make an offbeat couple."
And "Frak" ("Frack?) was used multiple times.
Geek Power lives on.
