* Two years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], Commander [[William Adama]] and Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] are walking through a boarding tube at [[Picon Fleet Headquarters|Colonial Fleet Headquarters]] at [[Picon]]. Tigh asks about the assignment that they've been given, despite the fact that they haven't even set foot on ''Galactica'' yet. After Adama jokes that Admiral [[Nagala]] believes that Tigh would make a perfect Miss [[Aerilon]], he explains that it is a search-and-rescue mission.

After Adama jokes that Admiral [[Nagala]] believes that Tigh would make a perfect Miss [[Aerelon]], he explains that it is a search-and-rescue mission.
* They meet Captain [[Aaron Kelly]] at the hatch, who informs them that ''Galactica'' is fully staffed and ready for inspection. After Kelly assures Adama that it'll pass inspection, Adama informs them that they won't have time for one as they have a mission to conduct.

* In [[CIC]], Adama, Kelly, and Tigh go over the mission. In answer to Kelly's question of where exactly they will be [[FTL|jumping]] to, Adama makes the revelation that they won't be jumping to a location on their local star maps. Instead, they'll be going into [[Neutral Space]] to conduct their search-and-rescue, much to Kelly's surprise.

* In Adama's quarters, Tigh asks him if he managed to get any rack time. Adama replies that he got some "off and on," adding that he could never sleep well for the first few days after being away from [[Carolanne Adama|Anne]]. Tigh replies that he sleeps "like a baby" when he and [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] are apart, as she tosses and turns "like a hog in mud".

* Tigh comments on the [[ambrosia]], which Adama indicates is a gift from the admiralty to be saved for a special occassion. Tigh comments that he'll be feeling special soon enough.

* Adama is called by Kelly, who reports that they've received a transponder signal from the planet surface, but are having problems narrowing it down. Additionally, he reports that they are also unable to raise anyone on [[wireless]]. Adama orders that a [[Raptor]] and rescue team be prepped and that he'll lead the team. Kelly questions the irregularity of that, but Adama notes that this is a personal matter.

* Like the other comics before it, this series plays a bit hard and fast with some of the continuity, particularly when it comes to the Cylons, who haven't been seen in 40 years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

** As mentioned in the Notes section of this article, the events depicted in this issue take place after ''Origins'' 8, which Zak's funeral is depicted in, so he has in fact been dead and buried for quite some time.
** Also, Kara Thrace first met Commander Adama at Zak's funeral, and she joins ''Galactica'''s airwing in Issue 2, pretty much cementing the fact that Zak is indeed dead.
