Adama briefs his son: A Cylon fleet of four [[basestar (TOS)|basestars]] is approaching, and will arrive in 24 [[centar]]s.

*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. | *Viceroy [[Abbadon]] receives a message from [[Imperious Leader]] [[Barkol]], but orders the transmission ignored.
