| *The Cylons begin jamming all Colonial transmissions to prevent further coordination. Athena runs countermeasures while [[Countess]] [[Sephoni]] enters core command. She informs Apollo of [[Psionic|her divination]] of a weak point in the super basestar's shielding: a seam in the shielding overlap that would allow a precise [[fusion missile]] strike. | | *The Cylons begin jamming all Colonial transmissions to prevent further coordination. Athena runs countermeasures while [[Countess]] [[Sephoni]] enters core command. She informs Apollo of [[Psionic|her divination]] of a weak point in the super basestar's shielding: a seam in the shielding overlap that would allow a precise [[fusion missile]] strike. |
| *With the jamming up, this information cannot be shared to the Vipers already aloft, and so Apollo makes the decision to fly one of the reservist Vipers and carry the payload himself.
| |
| *He orders the launch bay techs to prep his Viper with the needed ordnance, and launches. After remarking that he's not dead after the acceleration from the tube, Apollo makes a solemn promise to Athena (who cannot hear him) that he won't take any unnecessary risks.
| |
| *After making his way through the Raider screens, the jamming is thwarted and Athena communicates the basestar's vulnerability to the fighters in action. Adama expresses his displeasure at Apollo's disobedience, while Starbuck is able to break free of the defense line and lend support to Apollo. With Starbuck's missile payload exhausted, he is forced into a subordinate position of supporting Apollo's attack run, despite expressing concerns about the g-forces aggravating Apollo's injury.
| |
| *While Starbuck takes out four Raiders, Apollo makes his way to the target and launches the missile. The super basestar is destroyed and, while Apollo was not caught up in its explosion, his Viper is unable to course-correct from its direct flight-line into the nearby star.
| |
| *His friends and family are helpless as Apollo's fate is sealed.
| |
| *In ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s [[Life science|life sciences]] bay, the comatose [[Xam]] taps "GONE" repeatedly on the digital pad at his hand.
| |
| *After the battle, Adama makes a speech before an assembly of ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s crew, including [[Boxey (TOS-DE alternate)|Boxey]] and [[Muffit (TOS-DE alternate)|Muffit]], to commemorate the loss of Warriors before a monument to Apollo, consisting of a Warrior's helmet and a Viper model. He promises to find [[Earth (TOS-DE alternate)|Earth]] "even if I must search every star in the heavens and live a ''thousand'' lives."
