* On ''[[Argus]]'', a young [[William Adama]] prepares to launch in a [[Stealth Viper]]. During this, he flashes back to his first meeting with the admiralty over a steak dinner; [[Lionel]] reads the last entry from Adama's flight instructor, which offers glowing praise. They offer him a position aboard the ''Argus'', which is a prototype space carrier craft with new stealth technology, saying they need people who are completely loyal and are willing to serve aboard her in complete anonymity. Adama replies that he is such a man, much to the pleasure of the admiralty, who note that he has a bright future in the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]]. | * On ''[[Argus]]'', a young [[William Adama]] prepares to launch in a [[Stealth Viper]].

After doing so, the Blackbirds' pilots exchange friendly banter, as they proceed to their target: [[Trinity Base]], located well inside [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]]-held territory. | ||
* During a flyby over Trinity Base, Lucky's number two engine flares out. They abort the mission and attempt to head back, but are intercepted by [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]]s. Lucky is unable to punch out, and orders Adama to fire on him after the main power to his ship cuts out. Despite Lucky's pleas for Adama to kill him, Adama fails to do so and takes fire from the Raiders. Taking on damage, Adama activates the Viper's self-destruct and ejects. With nothing else in the way of opposition, the Cylons capture the damaged Stealth Viper and her pilot, Lucky, who calls Adama a coward. | * During a flyby over Trinity Base, Lucky's number two engine flares out.

* Six months later, after [[Operation Raptor Talon]] is successfully completed, Adama returns from the [[ice planet]] on a [[Raptor]]. [[Banzai]] meets Adama amongst the celebrating crew members on the [[hangar deck]], informing him of the [[Cimtar Peace Accords|Armistice]]. Adama wants to go to [[sickbay]] to check up on [[Jaycie McGavin]] (injured by an exploding console on her [[Raptor]] during the opening stages of the operation), however Banzai informs him that he ran into [[Cavendish]], who told Banzai of her passing. | * Six months later, after [[Operation Raptor Talon]] is successfully completed, Adama returns from the [[ice planet]] on a [[Raptor]].

The CO congratulates Adama on his first combat mission, and encourages him to learn to start drinking. Afterward, the CO notes that "'first' is a relative term", alluding to his past special-op experience on the Argus. Much to Adama's surprise, the CO knows everything about Adama's previous missions, having heard it from the admiralty. The CO then asks Adama if he still has a taste for toaster hunting, revealing that as part of the [[Armistice]], the Cylons revealed the existence of a suicide cell called the [[Annihilators]] is still in operation, as they cannot be recalled for any reason. | ||
* As ''Galactica''{{'|s}} first post-war mission, Admiral [[Jennings]] tasks them with hunting down these Cylons. Before Adama leaves, the CO tells him that their new CAG—who has the Fleet record for kills made in combat—pulled some favors to be part of the task force hunting the Cylons. | * As ''Galactica''{{'|s}} first post-war mission, Admiral [[Jennings]] tasks them with hunting down these Cylons.

Adama has a problem with the quote, feeling that man cannot overcome its mistakes. | * In his bunk in the Junior Officers Quarters, Adama writes a letter to his father, [[Joseph Adama]], asking him about a quote he made: "In spite of our failures, I refuse to accept the decline of man..."
