Target: Cambridge

[sushi_cw]

I can't believe I'm still alive.

I'd just landed my freighter, Aedos, about an hour before the attack. I sold my cargo, then decided to save a few credits by taking a nap in my ship instead of in a hotel. The radiation shields on my ship probably saved my life.

The next thing I knew, I woke up to alarms blasting my ears, and when I looked outside I saw bodies everywhere, both dead and the dying. I'll never forget the screaming...I could even hear it inside the thick hull of my freighter. To my eternal shame, my very first reaction was to take off and get into space, to save my own skin. Once there, I found a number of BSG ships in the middle of a rescue operation, and I realized that I'd already wasted time. As fast as I could, I headed back down to the surface and picked up as many survivors as I could. The worst part was that I couldn't fit them all... I had to turn some away. Once back in space, I joined a BSG-organized convoy to evacuate survivors to Corfu base in Omicron Theta.

I don't know much about the BSG, but as far as I am concerned, they are heroes today.
