Marines jumped from their position at the doors as the figure started to appear before them. They moved on front of the commander, arms over his chest and pushing him back. They didn't fire however, they weren't even sure what they would be firing on. Hutch pushed his way past the marines. "Stand down gods damn it." This wasn't the time for rash action, there was still that strange ship off to their portside, and the fact that they had no idea where they were. So far navigation had yet to identify any nearby stars or solar systems, that meant they were probably well beyond the red line. That meant they were in unknown space, something that the Columbia wasn't exactly prepared for. Something that the war effort didn't really [i]need[/i] to happen right now.  The apparation of the woman was something to truly behold, beautiful in her own way. She looked like what some people portrayed the Lords of Kobol to look like.

The similarity was striking. 

As she spoke she said her name, and requested aid. Hutch stepped forward. "I'm Commander Alexander Hutch of the Battlestar Columbia. We've been trying to hail you, our Vipers are the vessels eyeing yours. We will consider your request for aide if you tell us what your vessel [i]is[/i] and where we are. Our sister ship the Galactica and fleet are currently engaged in a major offensive, we need to return to her side as quickly as possible. Many lives are at risk." He couldn't trust this [i]woman[/i] if she even was a woman, that was for sure. Though he hadn't said anything as of yet that was secretive, and he'd maybe just gain some information or insight into what was going on.
