They landed in an open field, and before anyone even realized he had moved, Roark was out of his restraints and at the hatch, keying it to open. "Roark! Wait for--"
"We have him, Uncle Apollo," Harry said as he quickly followed his brother down the ramp, followed a little more slowly by the Durin's.
When Adama and Apollo left the shuttle mere microns later, it was to find Roark surrounded by his brothers and cousins, pale face lifted, his eyes closed. They waited tensely...waited...waited longer still until... Suddenly his head tilted as if he were now listening, a slow smile tilting his lips.
"The Academy," he said. "I've got Chris, and he says they're in the Academy's shelters. I can't reach Rodolphus because he's unconscious, as is Rabastan."
The relief of his words nearly had all of them collapsing where they stood, but Roark, the eldest Durin present, immediately took charge. "Right then. Jordan, take a team and go to Ravenwood. It sounds like a couple of the messages got through to them, giving them just enough time to get into the shelters. I'll take a team and head for Caprica City and the Academy. Jacob?"
"Apollo and I will take a third team and head up the hill, see what's happened to not only our place, but the rest of the neighborhood, and then we will move out from there. Let's be very careful, keep our senses active at all times. There may yet be a few Cylons about. Let's keep our comms open at all times."
"Actually, we've got that covered," Roark said as he passed around earpieces to all the warriors that were not in black and scarlet, handing one each to Adama and Apollo. "Counter-Intelligence Communication Devices. Wireless. This will allow us to keep in contact, but not have our comm units on for the Cylons to track our locations."
"SWEET!" One of the younger warriors that had landed a viper not too far from the shuttles said as he placed the device in his ear. "Commander? Lt. Commander?"
"We also need to collect supplies. Food, water, clothing, and any medical supplies that can be salvaged. DO NOT, however, eat OR drink anything not from your packs. Anything that wasn't tightly shielded is likely to contain some radiation...or worse. We'll need to test everything once we're in a safe location to do so."
"We have," Severus spoke up, "plenty of water purification tablets, but if you can get ahold of more, then do so. Also," he looked around at them sternly, "Set your weapon on stun. These people are going to be scared...angry, and likely very aggressive. Protect yourselves as needed and let Counter-Intelligence deal with the consequences. Understood?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Right then. Robin love, you and your team go with Adama. Severus, you and your team go with Jordan. I'll go with Roark. Sev, as soon as I know anything about Dacian, I'll let you know. The kids are likely at Ravenwood."
"Sweet Kobol, I hope so," he breathed, the thought of the possibility of losing his husband, as well as his children, made him very sick.
"Let's get moving."

They reached the Ravenwood Estate a short time later, stopping at the sight of the big mansion now lying half collapsed, many of the outer homes spread around the Estate completely destroyed. Deep, burnt furrows in what used to be an immaculate lawn, showed where laser fire had hit.
Jordan turned, giving them a weak smile, his eyes landing on Roark. "We'll let you know as soon as we get to them."
Nods all around as Jordan's group headed toward the house, Roark's team beginning to move again, heading toward the Capitol of Caprica. Suddenly, as they came around the curve, Roark froze, his breath catching. Following his distraught gaze, they saw the house that he and Harry had bought now completely destroyed, fires still burning.
Harry wrapped his arm around him, hugging him to his side. "Rory," he murmured.
"I'm...alright, Harry," he said softly, turning tear-filled eyes to him, looking away from the house the four of them had worked so hard to turn into their first home.
"You are NOT alright, but I'll let it go for the moment," he looked back to the house. "Looks like a couple of laser strikes went through the middle of the house."
Roark gave a nod. "You know, a part of me knew we wouldn't be coming back here, but still..." he began to walk. "As for the rest...the beta blocker is helping to blunt most of it, though admittedly there is quite a bit still getting through. The people...they're so...ANGRY. Some are furious we weren't here to protect them when the attacks began, and still others reminding those that are speaking out so strongly against us, that we were too far away to have been of any help anyway. There is despair, pain, sorrow, death," a shudder racked him, "and so much more."
"Rory, what has Chris said about those in the shelter with him?" Sebastien asked suddenly, glancing over at Severus, whose dark eyes were locked worriedly on Roark. : He's still spiraling. :
A nod.
"I don't know, I haven't asked," came his answer.
