This is a storythread from the author Xerxezz of his story The Forgotten Ones in which The Fifth Caprican Fleet Centurions, under orders from Caprican Fleet-Admiral Mudabbi Priority One Order for them to jump their Fleet Ship Assets out of harm's way until he could recall them at a later time, in which he never got the chance....

The Caprican Centurions have waited for nearly Fifty Two Years since their last order to stay away until recall back to Caprica to take the fight back against the Rogue Centurions from both sides that were attacking all the Human World Colonies and the Human Fleet Assets of both sides ever since their attack due to a cybernetic assault that changed their MCP and made them go rogue and start the first Colonial Cylon War.

Forgotten ones

The low hum of the crafts main engines vibrated through the legs of C.I-N.O-162-01. It automatically logged the frequency (18.45 kHz) of the hum, accounted for air pressure (101,372 kPa), humidity (4,5%) and temperature (47 degrees) and shuffled it into a secondary process in the background to analyse and compare it to prior samples.

After more then half a century (52y:7m:14d:17h:28m), as the main command unit aboard the Aurora (Perseus-class, hull number CNF-SS162, temporary flagship, Fifth Fleet) and all the accumulated technical data that implied CINO could tell virtually instantly (2,1 nanoseconds) that the output problems with number four drive-pod had been solved (maintenance report 3k/142/23/8C).

The lightning in the corridor was low (1,4 lux), the temperature (47 degrees) cool to minimize energy usage and reactor strain (18,3% of maximum output). Its inspection round carried it past one of the empty mid-ship mess halls, into a maze like series of service-corridors that ended at a sealed and locked hatch (Naval safety regulations manual, chapter 47).

It entered the door code and swiped its ID card, unlocking the door and stepping inside. The first thing that greeted it as it stepped inside the gunnery command row was two figures (Model 005MC) with their heavy automatic weapons (SAR51) aimed at its head and chest. Their frames were painted in a mixture of black and greys, visually identifying them as part of the ships marine detachment. Their eyes swept across CINO’s frame, and after visually confirming its identity lowered their weapons. The hatch was closed and sealed behind him.

Gunnery row was silent except for the hydraulic hisses and metal clangs from its armoured feet as CINO strode along the catwalk, swiftly looking at each weapon control station below it as it passed. Each station was manned by an unmoving metal sentinel (Model 005NC), ever vigilant and ready to act the moment a threat appeared on the dradis.

Following the systematic subversion of networked systems every computer had their network functions disabled and physically removed. Fire control, all of which had been automated and controlled by a series of networked AI cores linking all of the ships weapon-systems together had been one of the first systems removed due to the risk subversion and blue-on-blue fire. Fortunately, while the ship had been heavily automated it had initially been designed for a human crew, so manual control systems were still present. The only weapon system that was still networked was the Aegis interception systems, running on an isolated network.

The creation of so many duty-stations that had resulted from the de-networking of the ship had completely depleted the marine detachment and the ship-board stores of replacement centurions. Even with the transferred marine detachment, and all units from storage the craft still lacked half the crew for normal day to day operations. It had taken more then a year and a half to refab one of the machine-shops on one of the logistics-ship to produce additional Centurion units.

The wireless tac-net that linked every Centurion together, and made command and control so easy, had been shut down and removed. Post battle analyse had showed that every unit that had been exposed to the electronic attack had been subverted, and that the Firewalls and other safety measures hadn’t even slowed it down. No known copy of the attack existed in the fleet, all computers had been either purged or outright destroyed, so most it was purely speculation.
