	Soon after, three Cylon basestars jump in and launch a full salvo of tactical nuclear missiles, making two hits on the battlestar's stern.

	An engineering officer with no combat command experience, Commander Garner is unable to deal with the situation effectively – at the same time that the heavy Cylon barrage damages the ''Pegasus'''s FTL drive, cutting off the only path of retreat. Realizing he is most competent leading the engineering teams, Garner turns over command to his recently-promoted executive officer, Major [[Lee Adama]], and heads below to direct the repairs.

	After a moment of hesitation, Major Adama orders ''Pegasus'' to head for the nearest basestar, while rolling the ship over to keep its damaged dorsal side hidden from direct fire. He orders Starbuck and [[Marcia Case\|Showboat]] to have the Vipers concentrate on defending the damaged portions of ''Pegasus'' from further attacks, and directs the battlestar's forward batteries to fire on the closest basestar. His tactic works and they inflict severe damage on the targeted basestar's central axis, buying ''Pegasus'' more time.

	Meanwhile, Commander Garner determines that a hull breach prevents technicians from opening an auxiliary coolant valve crucial to re-starting the FTL drive. With time running out for ''Pegasus'', he bravely enters the compartment himself, opens the valve, and restores the FTL drive before dying of asphyxiation<ref>See [http://www.sff.net/people/Geoffrey.Landis/vacuum.html NASA JPL scientist Geoffrey Landis' description on what happens from vacuum exposure.] Garner must have died of asyphxiation, not vacuum exposure, as it takes him more than 30-45 seconds to open the auxiliary valves. Vacuum exposure would cause unconsciousness within 9 to 11 seconds. While his engineers watched the oxygen levels drop, the atmospheric pressure in the compartment was sufficiently high not to be a vacuum, but not sufficiently pressurized to allow breathing.</ref>. With the FTL drive restored, Major Adama orders a recall of all Vipers and a jump back to the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]].

	''Pegasus'' suffers relatively minor damage and few casualties, but it has lost its third commanding officer since the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]]. For his command ability in returning ''Pegasus'' against heavy odds, Admiral Adama promotes Major Adama to the rank of commander and gives him command of ''Pegasus'' ~~([[~~TRS~~]]: "[[~~The Captain's Hand~~]]")~~.
