I'm not sure if fan fiction is acceptable here at the RPF, but I felt like sharing this. For five years, I attempted to get a machinima comic book fan fiction series off the ground that was based in the "Battlestar Galactica" universe. The reason why I'm posting this is because due to the lack of necessary Sims for certain actors (namely four male human Cylon models. And yes, I did request it from various users, but it never went anywhere), I was not able to get it off the ground. So far, I've got "Season 1" all the way done, I'll be getting the summary for the last remaining three "season" done and posted as each is completed. Even so, I hope you guys find the summary enjoyable. Enjoy!
In case you're wondering: Machinima - the ability to make one form of media (such as short films and comics) with the use of a real-time 3-D graphics engine, normally a video game.
Also, if you have not seen any of the re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica" TV series, be warned, because HERE THERE BE SPOILERS! You have been warned.

Prequels:
For the characters of John and Kate, the prequel story that involved them is called, "Brother's Keeper." Set only a year before the attacks, the story involves them visiting the southern continent of Tauron, where John is from. We discover that it's the northern continent that garners the planet's popular misconception of being "dirty," as the area John grown up in is more of woods than dirt. They visit John's parents due to the death of Darrin Coba, John's older brother. Kate, under the guise of Sharon 'Boomber' Valerii, finds out that Darrin died saving several of his shipmates from a fire that broke out aboard. She becomes familiar with John's past and comes to discover that human beings do care about life (which was one of the misconceptions by the Cylons, as she was taught to believe that they didn't care about life).
For Rollin and Selena Phoebus, their story titled "The Way We Were, Are, Will Be." It involves Rollin Phoebus in his mid-20s, attending Caprica University and being the roommate of a young man name Gaius Baltar. Being pressured into going to a lecture of the psych students by Baltar, Rollin becomes interested in Selena Pygmalis as she presents her thesis on what would become her field of expertise. After flubbing up his first attempt to talk to her, he manages to convince her to go out for dinner. As a result, they end up hooking up and staying with each other for years after that. It also shows some of their sexual practices.
Capt. Christine "Sheba" Malfi gets her story told in a short piece simply called, "Sheba's Story." The story covers what Sheba was doing on Picon when the attacks occurred. Set one day prior to the attacks, Sheba is on trial for charges of sexual harassment by the Colonial Fleet's Judge Advocate General group due to a deckhand on the Solaria claiming that she came on to him while she was drunk on her downtime. She recalls her first assignment, training new recruits. One of them happens to be Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Due to Starbuck's hardheaded actions, Sheba gives her the callsign and even challenges her to become one of the top 20 graduates of her class. Her story finishes with her coming across a bar that had not been damaged during the attacks. She fixes herself a few drinks when a Cavil comes in. After a brief discussion, they are joined by two Centurions. Her story ends with one last question: "Can I have another round before we go?"
In "Life's Downgrade," we follow Glen Norme as his marriage ends and he throws himself into his work. Other than seeing how he works, not much there to see.
Season 1:
The first story covers the capture of the majority of the group. It starts off with John Coba as he heads to Zoya University, being interrupted by Kate, under the guise of Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii as she tries to convince him to leave Providence with her to go to his grandfather's cabin. He survives the initial blast because the computer lab he is working in was a former fallout shelter. He is introduced to Fred Cryas after he comes around. He then discovers his girlfriend of one and a half years is a Cylon after spotting two copies of her while being lead to a holding area. We see Glen Norme being kidnapped by a Three and a Five one hour before the bombs drop after he gets off of work for the night on Virgon. Rollin and Selena Phoebus are starting their normal morning routine when they begin hearing reports over the radio about the attacks on Caprica. We already got Sheba's capture in her prequel, but we have a replay of her being found at the bar. And we get to see Kate's side of the story, where she tries to convince John to leave Providence to go to his grandfather's cabin, where she has supplies ready to keep them alive and with plans to go against her kind. Unfortunately, she is unable to convince him to go with her. She allows herself to be caught in the blast of a nuke, knowing that John's computer lab was a fallout shelter once upon a time. She downloads into a new body, hours going by since all 12 Colonies being destroyed. She is informed that John inadvertently discovered the truth about her and that due to the discovery, his point of view may be tainted due to the discovery. As a result, the project she was involved with is to be reassigned to another Model Eight on Caprica, due to the fact that the real Boomer's ECO survived the initial attacks and may be useful in exploiting an already existing relationship.
As the story continues forward with Sheba being the last tossed into the containment area (formerly an underground Colonial Fleet base, a relic from the previous war), we are introduced to Juno, a Model Six with black hair who is in charge of the group. She informs them not to attempt any kind of escape and that it'd be beneficial for them to just follow instruction and share the knowledge they have with the Cylons. The group make a vote that the order of command in the group should be the order in which the group arrived at the containment area, leaving Fred in charge at first with John as second in command. They begin to develop an escape plan, Kate offering to help out and offering them a chance to get to the cabin that belonged to John's grandfather (stating that she remembers about the cabin, but set a block in the download routine to delete the information on its location when she downloaded into a new body to keep its location safe). Though despite the objections from John about her trustworthiness, the group outvotes him. Over the next two months, the group tries to develop an escape plan. Thanks to Kate, the group discovers a passage in the elevator shaft that is not present in any of the up-to-date blueprints but is present in the original. The passage leads from the elevator shaft to an empty store a few yards away from the containment area. John, being familiar with the city of Providence recommends heading East after the escape, as the closest exit out of the city is the bridge over the River Styx. With information from Kate, they discover that the subway system has been restored back to full operation. John develops a virus that would be able to be passed from all systems to the Centurions, so that all can shutdown within a five minute timeframe to allow for them to get out of their main room of occupation to the elevator shaft and into the passage.
At the start of "The Great Escape" three-parter, the group succeeds in the escape. They go to a shop nearby John's apartment to stock up on supplies. John take it upon himself to head to his apartment alone to gather some items, including his portable electronics tool kit, a solar-powered modified PDA device, his photo album, his brother's dogtags, a journal and his personal defense weapon: a baseball bat. The group almost come close to being caught in their attempt to get to the subway, but are subsequently separated into three groups at a stop prior to Union Central, the main hub of the entire subway system, when the Cylons find out they've escaped. Fred and Glen end up discovering a small group of women who are on their own. They soon discover that the women have been killing men and manage to escape before they could be killed and eaten. Rollin, Selena and Sheba proceed ahead to the bridge over River Styx, only to discover that the Cylons are ahead of schedule, working on clearing the bridge to the halfway point (the group having to plan using the abandoned vehicles as cover all the way across). John and Kate get chased by a pack of Model Sixes but manages to escape. Despite Kate's attempts to try to explain her actions and how she still loves him, John blows her off, saying that he doesn't care about how she "feels" if she does and that his main concern is to get to Union Central to meet with the others. He even tells her to go back to wherever she came from, to which she doesn't. The group meet up at Union Central and then go to a nearby City Transit Bus depot, trying to figure out how to get across the bridge. They finally come to the idea of using a City Bus re-enforced with some scrap metal. John, having to learn from his grandfather years ago, constructs several home-made explosives using various cleaning supplies. In their attempt to escape, they make it half way across the bridge and abandon the bus due to the rest of the way being filled with vehicles. In the process of completely escaping, Fred Cryas is killed and John is shot in the leg. With is dying breath, Fred tells John to "keep them moving." John rigs a tanker truck marked gasoline with one of the explosives and gets out of there with the help of Kate. The tanker explodes, damaging the bridge to the point where the Cylons cannot pursue. Sheba hotwires an SUV, everyone piles up and flees.
They make it to John's grandfather's cabin, where they stay for a couple of weeks in the story of "The Breathing Room," giving John enough time to heal, and give the group enough time for a breather before moving on. Rollin and Selena utilize the master bedroom of the cabin for two whole days for make-up frakking. Kate seems to constantly trying to tend to John, apparently in a way of trying to mend their relationship. Glen keeps stock of the supplies, figuring out a way to keep the same amount of supplies but cut down on the weigh so that it doesn't exhaust the group. Sheba figures out the best way to get off the planet is to find an aircraft junkyard, as the Cylons wouldn't be expecting a decommissioned small spacecraft as a means of escaping the planet, should they decide that leaving the planet is an option. Juno, the Model Six responsible for the containment area is trying to figure out where the group could have gone and is determined to find them and secure them again.
After a short while, the group continues their trek east, coming across a group of prisoners in "A Bad Day at Goode Rock," who have apparently become nothing more than a group of religious fanatics. The prisoners let all of the group go, except for Kate, claiming she's a "demon." John, having to have made the promise to protect the entire group, ends up killing the leader of the prisoners before they kill Kate by burning her at the stake. John seems to keep his cool when he takes the leader out and in their exiting of the prison, but later on at a gas station they've stopped at for the night, John begins to suffer remorse and guilt, trying to "wash the blood off his hands" with hand sanitizer. Selena convinces him that it was the right choice. Juno, along with a group of other Cylons, finds the cabin with a clue about what the group plans on doing.
The group discovers a junkyard a couple of weeks later. This serves as the setting for "Junkyard Dogs." They look through a manifest in the office to find the most recent and partially or fully functional spacecraft. They discover a Colonial Shuttle that was brought in a couple of days before the attack. It's primary problem being the FTL drive being fried. Being there presents them with an option of leaving the planet or continue on foot eastbound. John calls a vote. The majority votes leaving the planet. They begin to strip a functional FTL drive from a damaged Raptor to wire into the shuttle. Juno and Cylons discover Goode Rock Prison, killing the prisoners after confirming the direction the group headed. She checks a map and the information she found at the cabin to determine where they are. The group gets the FTL drive installed and performs a system check just when the Cylons turn up. But due to some minor systems being out, time is needed to get them repaired. Kate, John, Rollin and Selena try setting up a defensive line to keep the Cylons from progressing forward while Sheba and Glen get the shuttle ready. Using more home-made explosives and some improvised traps, they manage to cut down Centurions before they can get close enough to do any harm. Thanks to a "sticky bomb," they take down a heavy raider that was sent in. Sheba and Glen get the Shuttle completely running. The group boarding as the Cylons try a full on attack, and FTL jumping away from Picon before another Heavy Raider can be called in.
They apparently jump into an open area of space somewhere between planets. In "38 Hours," the group manages to get a moment to breathe, but are faced with a decision: risk jumping further into space with no destination and running out of oxygen or to jump to another Cylon-Occupied 12 Colony planet. Kate recommends jumping to Tauron and explains that Tauron has the smallest number of Cylons occupying all the planets than any of the others. John leaves the call of the direction of the whole group, but calls a vote on what to do: risk dying in space or living on another planet. After a nap, the group finally decides to make their decision to take Kate's advice to jump to Tauron. They end up jumping into the atmosphere near Pallas (as the only person who knows any kind of coordinates to Tauron is John, having to remember the coordinates of the neighboring mountain as it was part of a high school geography class assignment). Sheba manages to crash land the ship, despite the "heavy ass" on it and the group manage to get hidden before the Cylons find it.
In "Home Again," while the group moves through the forest, they come across John's old home. The group decide to stay the night, John finding a letter left behind from his parents that informs him that they if he somehow got back that both his parents were going to attempt to leave the planet and that a gun and ammo was left behind in the cellar for him to use if he needs it. Glen lets John know that he lost his parents around John's age, and understand the loss that he may be feeling. "Look at it like this," Glen explains, "They may have gotten off Tauron before the Cylons finished what they started. All I can say is that fate allows. And you're not alone here."
The group leave the next day (now somewhere between the events of "Home, Part II' and "Final Cut" in the show's timeline), they soon discover that they're not the only humans alive in "Here There Be Spartans." The group come across four Colonial Fleet trainees as a part of a Special Ops Marine group called "Spartans." After a temporary headbutting, Sheba calls her Captain status and orders them to stand down. They head to an underground bunker that had once been used primarily for training after the first Cylon War. The group of survivors include Ensign Greg Leonida, Ensign Samantha Troy, Ensign Max Dillion and Ensign Paul Xaviar. But in the functional bunker, which the trainees managed to repair and store some extra supplies, they found one additional survivor, a civilian Oracle/Priestess named Cassiopeia.
After a couple of weeks, the group's supplies begin to run low. Unable to raid a nearby town like the Spartans had done a previous time before, the group decides to raid a Cylon supply convoy, which goes off without a hitch in the story "Convoy." As a consequence, in "When Things Fall Apart," the Cylons double up on their patrols in order to find them, Juno coming in from Picon to complete her task. Before long, the Cylons discover the bunker and attack it. As a result, all of the group, except for John is capture (John is separated by a cave-in, the others believing he is dead). Shortly after that, he runs into Kate who apparently managed to escaped.
