With a fresh crew of female [[Warrior]]s | With a fresh crew of female [[Warrior]]s who have not fought against [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] forces, the replacement [[Blue Squadron (TOS)|Blue Squadron]] is tasked with protecting Salik's [[Colonial Shuttle|medical shuttle]]. The squadron, lead by [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]] and his second, Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]], lead the squadron into [[Otarsis Quadrant]]. Detecting the [[Otarsis Quadrant asteroid|asteroid]] in Sector Delta 5, Apollo orders the squadron to stay out of the [[Cylon listening post]]'s scanning range at Omega 4, and attempts a low-level, solo approach from the other side of the asteroid in an attempt to sneak attack the base before it launches [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]]s, so as to protect the squadron. Despite objections from Lieutenant [[Deitra]], Apollo proceeds. | ||
As Apollo executes his plan, Lieutenant [[Brie]] detects a blip on the scanner coming from [[Tau Quadrant]], rear of their position. Starbuck informs her that it is the shuttle; Brie reports that the blip is closing in on their position. Starbuck scans the incoming blip, his [[warbook]] confirming that it is a Cylon Raider. Starbuck orders Deitra to assume command of the squadron, while he and his wingman, [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]], move to intecept and destroy the fighter, though not in time to prevent the Raider from warning the base. Starbuck and Athena turbo towards the asteroid, knowing that Apollo will need their assistance. | |||

On the asteroid, Apollo flies toward the base, using a canyon leading towards it as cover. Upon approach, the base's launch bays begin to open and a squadron of Raiders launches. Apollo takes out a launching Raider before firing his thrusters, although he is pursued by an enemy fighter that also launches from the base. Apollo warns the squadron that the Cylons are launching fighters and orders a return to ''Galactica''; Apollo's Viper is hit, though still able to fly. | On the asteroid, Apollo flies toward the base, using a canyon leading towards it as cover.

Deitra replies "after this run" and disregards the order. Under her command, Blue Squadron engages the fighters; Deitra takes out the Raider pursuing Apollo. During the fight, Deitra, [[Serina]] and Brie make their first kills, while Apollo resumes his attack on the base. Firing into the launch bay, Apollo destroys the listening post and notifies the medical shuttle that the asteroid is secure, resulting in Salik being able to discover a cure for the infection and the diminishes [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]'s ability to track the Fleet in that area ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]). | |||
