| | |
| ==Summary==
| |
| *With over fifteen percent of the {{TOS|Cylons|Cylon}} population on [[Tessida]] overcome by the weaponized [[nano-cybrid]], ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' leaves orbit, to [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo's]] objection, as {{TOS|Starbuck}} is missing on the planet.
| |
| *Starbuck safely ejects from his {{TOS|Viper}}, but his emergency transponder does not operate. He finds himself in the Cylon mainframe building when {{TOS|Centurion|Centurions}} try to enter the room. Starbuck uses his grappling device to escape.
| |
| *As Apollo eulogizes Starbuck in the officer's quarters, a red-alert klaxon sounds throughout the ship. Adama briefs his son: A Cylon fleet of four {{TOS|basestar|basestars}} is approaching, and will arrive in 24 [[centar]]s. {{TOS|Tigh|Colonel Tigh}} warns that, even with the nano-cybrid weapons they have left, they aren't up to the battle.
| |
| *When Apollo suggests getting the {{TOS|The Fleet|Fleet}} through the [[Canopus wormhole]] to escape, Adama agrees, but wants to close the wormhole behind them with a gravitic warhead to avoid pursuit, indicating that, if the mysterious message they received through the wormhole was from the {{TOS|Thirteenth Tribe|Thirteenth Tribe}}, Adama does not want to greet his lost brothers with a Cylon fleet on their doorstep.
| |
| *As Starbuck flees through the city, he encounters many infected Cylons that attack him. Improvising with blaster and acquired Cylon sword, the [[Colonial Warrior]] hacks and blasts his way to find a Cylon communications array.
| |
| *Viceroy [[Abbadon]] receives a message from [[Imperious Leader]] [[Barkol]], but orders the transmission ignored. He, too, knows of the Cylon fleet's imminent arrival, and realizes they aren't coming to defend Tessida, but to destroy it and the nano-cybrid. When a [[Command Centurion]] questions Abbadon's motives, the [[IL-series]] Cylon explains himself, then orders an escort to the mainframe's fusion core, where the infection is apparently in check until the seals of the chamber are opened.
| |
| *Starbuck manages to boost his transponder to get an automated distress signal to the Fleet. His blaster pack charge is running low.
| |
| *As infected Cylons attack him, one careens into the communications dish, destroying it and cutting off his transponder's message.
| |
| *At the fusion core, Abbadon initiates a self-destruct sequence that, when it detonates, will destroy the entire planet.
| |
| *Just as Starbuck is overwhelmed by Cylons, Apollo, {{TOS|Jolly}} and {{TOS|Athena}} emerge from a [[Colonial shuttle]] and rescue the stranded Starbuck.
| |
| *{{TOS|Boomer}}, piloting the shuttle, realizes that the power grid on the planet is dangerous unstable, as if it was about to blow. Apollo orders him to launch and return to ''Galactica''.
| |
| *Starbuck awakens to find the face of [[Cassiopeia]] over him on the shuttle. Starbuck's courage to ask Cassie to marry rises and wanes again.
| |
| *''Galactica'' and her Fleet escape to fight and survive another day, with Adama carefully considering the ramifications of unleashing the destruction on the Cylons with that of saving a sizeable part of humanity.
