A standoff over a mysterious religious artifact leads to a [[w:Cuban Missile Crisis|Cuban Missile Crisis]]-like scenario. | |||
Shortly after [[The Temple of Five]] is discovered during the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]]'s food-collection operations on the [[Algae planet]], four Cylon basestars jump into orbit. The Cylons discreetly deploy one [[Heavy Raider]] to the planet's surface. [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] orders all civilian ships to jump to emergency jump coordinates. Members of the basestars' command group come board ''Galactica'' in order to negotiate for control of the [[Eye of Jupiter]], reported to be in the Temple, but no agreement is reached. | |||
The Cylons soon jam all Colonial wireless frequencies. On the surface, [[Lee Adama|Major Adama]] develops a plan to defend the Temple and their base camp, placing [[Samuel Anders]] in command of all civilians present, and using [[Kara Thrace|Captain Thrace]]'s Rapter, the only one on the surface, for reconnaissance. | |||
Centurions from the first Heavy Raider have established a surface-to-air missile battery, and shoot down Thrace during her recon. | |||
When six Heavy Raiders deploy from the basestars toward the planet, Admiral Adama prepares ''Galactica'' to fire nuclear missiles at the surface and obliterating the Temple, as he had promised during the failed negotiations ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]). | |||
