Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} happens across another "fork in the road," featuring a well-charted sector of space and a "storm zone" ({{comics|vol2|6}}).

The storm zone, also referred to as a '''quantum storm''' ({{comics|vol2|7}}), consists of high [[energon]] stellar storms that [[blue flight]], lead by Lt. {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}, investigate. In returning to ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'', blue flight's {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s are found to be charged with high-static energon fields, which discharge into [[void lightning]] that hits [[Xam]] and causes a total power outage aboard the {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|6}}.

Upon hitting Xam, the discharge awakens latent [[psionic]] potential, which grows due to the proximity of the energon fields of the storm zone. These psionic abilities project false yet immutable beliefs that {{alt|Earth|TOS}} lies at the center of the storm zone, heavily influencing many people in the Fleet, including Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|7}}—{{comics|vol2|11|short=y}}).

Due to Cylon engagement into the unnamed, coreward quadrant by Capt. {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and [[red flight]] ({{comics|vol2|6}}), Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} approves going through the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|7}}.
