"Hey, Boomer. Did you hear the news?"
Boomer turned around, hand on one hip as she did her best to look as innocent as possible. News? News could mean anything, but if anyone found out about how she was frakking the Chief, they'd both get thrown into hack. "Nope, not a thing, Helo." That sounded natural to her. Hopefully to her ECO, too. "What's up?"
Helo's eyebrows waggled a bit as he pulled his lollipop out of his mouth with a large "popping" sound and licked his lips. "They say the Old Man's son is going to lead the flyby for the decommissioning."
Her eyes got huge. "Apollo? You mean the Apollo?" Boomer chewed on her lower lip. "I've heard all about him. He's famous... he graduated third in his class..."
Helo didn't seem to notice how quiet Boomer had gotten, only that she was suddenly interested in what he was saying. "Scuttlebutt has it that he's even going to be the one to fly the restored Mark II that's down in the hangar deck."
"But, that's the Old Man's Viper," she said, again half to herself. She couldn't believe it. She was going to get to meet him? "He's a Captain now, that means he'll be the ranking pilot." She shot a look up at Helo and grinned. "Not that it matters since they're turning our ship into a museum."
"Well, c'mon, we don't want to be late."
Boomer nodded and followed Helo, taking their seats in the pilots' briefing room, and then they announced him. Said his name. Captain Lee Adama, son of Commander Adama, callsign "Apollo". Boomer was sitting next to Helo in the front row and as everyone applauded, she turned and saw Apollo for herself and beamed. It only lasted a few seconds, but in that time, she forgot about the Chief and hero-worship took over.
Apollo. He was just awe-inspiring, like his name. She collected herself, turned back to face the front, and got jabbed in the ribs by Helo once. It was fine. It wasn't like she was ever going to see Captain Adama ever again, anyway.
