	*[[Starbuck (TOS-DE alternate)\|Starbuck]] attempts jocularity with Grust, asking him what a big guy like him eats: Grust succinctly replies, "Pilots."

Starbuck feigns hearing a call from Apollo, joining him and Adama in the adjoining corridor.
	*Adama voices his displeasure at having the Fleet's location known by outsiders. Apollo protests that he did not invite them, but they were followed. Adama orders Apollo to be debriefed by [[Tigh (TOS-DE alternate)\|Tigh]], as well as orders a threat assessment of the Okaati ships. Starbuck is ordered to join Adama on the shuttle for his insights.		*Adama voices his displeasure at having the Fleet's location known by outsiders. Apollo protests that he did not invite them, but they were followed. Adama orders Apollo to be debriefed by [[Tigh (TOS-DE alternate)\|Tigh]], as well as orders a threat assessment of the Okaati ships. Starbuck is ordered to join Adama on the shuttle for his insights.
	*		*While aboard [[GAL 560]], Parrin shares her plight with Adama and shows off the [[Harvester\|Harvesters]] and their astounding abilities in converting raw materials and building ships while in transit. Parrin offers that they run from slavers known as the Comitat, as well as their tactics of disabling ships and people, claiming that they only wish to pursue their "mad dreams of conquest."
			*Adama shares that the Fleet consists of slow ships only capable of sublight, with makeshift factories spread across the Fleet.
			*[[Korbok's First Engagement of the Fleet\|Interfering with the discussion]] are a trio of [[Comitat frigate\|Comitat frigates]], lead by [[Thane (title)\|Thane]] [[Korbok]], who declare the humans are abetting criminals and orders the Okaati to be surrendered. He warns that anyone aiding them will suffer.
			*Parrin orders her Fleet to evade and ready themselves to flee. Adama learns that the Okaati are not warriors, and so they do not have fighter squadrons of their own, relying instead on their adroitness.
			*The Comitat deploys [[Bladeship\|Bladeships]], who begin their disabling of Okaati crafts and persons.
			*Tigh reports that the only crafts that ''Galactica'' can scan are the Bladeships, confirming that they are indeed drones. Adama orders Vipers to launch, but are interdicted by swarms of Bladeships blocking the [[Launch tube (TOS)\|launch tubes]].
			*Silver Spar Squadron returns in time to clear the bladeships away from ''Galactica'', allowing Vipers to deploy and turn the tide, thus ending the battle. Korbok's parting words warn that they have chosen wrongly.
			*After the battle, Parrin posits the idea of conjoining their fleets and travelling together. Adama initially declines, fearing that they have enough issues with just one enemy. Starbuck argues that the Okaati engines are superior and that they could use their expertise.
			*Parrin has returned to tend to her wounded, while Adama is briefed by Sheba on the Kiernu's fate at Cylon hands. She also reports that they intercepted communications suggesting that the genocide was punishment for not stopping the Fleet, confirming Adama's fears.
			*Apollo attempts to assuage his father's guilt, with Adama commenting on how things have changed given how the [[Thousand-Yahren War (alternate)\|Thousand-Yahren War]] began as a result of aiding the [[Hasari]], and their experiences with the [[Ovions (alternate)\|Ovions]]. He vows his refusal to be forever friendless during their quest, and changes his mind regarding unification of resources with the Okaati.
			*Aboard their ship, Korbok makes his report as he directs their forces to [[the Node]], noting that they have a full survey of the ships within the Fleet, allowing them to prepare for another strike. Korbok receives a call from the Node about a ship that made contact with them―it is [[Baltar]] with a proposal.

	*		*Commander [[Adama (TOS-DE alternate)\|Adama]] records his log, reflecting on his pathos as the leader of [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)\|the Fleet]], and his previous transgressions he made against the [[Kiernu]] due to the Fleet's dwindling [[tylium]] supply. He fears that this action leads to dire consequences for the transgressed.
			*The [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)\|Cylons]], lead by [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)\|Lucifer]], take no prisoners in their "education" of the Kiernu. The [[Kiernu Chancellor]] pleads, in person, to Lucifer to stop the slaughter. Lucifer notes that Adama's transgression is out of character, comparing his deceit to [[Baltar (TOS-DE alternate)\|Baltar]]'s affinity for deception, and reaffirms his belief that humans are not to be trusted.
			*Lucifer elects to exterminate the species as an example to others, as they serve no other use to the [[Cylon Empire (TOS-DE alternate)\|Cylon Empire]].
			*In [[core command]], Adama asks [[Athena (TOS-DE alternate)\|Athena]] about [[Blue Squadron (TOS-DE alternate)\|Blue Squadron]]. The [[Empyrean Expanse\|nebula]]'s nature makes communications difficult, adding that she has not heard from [[Silver Spar Squadron (TOS-DE alternate)\|Silver Spar Squadron]].
			*[[Rigel (alternate)\|Rigel]] reports a large force of over 100 vessels approaches, and Adama orders the ship to alert.
			*[[Apollo (TOS-DE alternate)\|Apollo]], leading the [[Okaati fleet\|inbound fleet]], communicates to ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)\|Galactica]]'' to stand down. Parrin also adds her voice to the proceedings, asking for permission to meet Adama to give thanks, much to Adama's new ledger of legitimate grievances resulting from Apollo's decision.
			*Docked atop ''Galactica''<nowiki/>'s starboard flight pod, Parrin and [[Grust]] present themselves to Adama in the conference room. Apollo summarizes the current situation, with Parrin comparing [[the Comitat]] to the Cylons.
			*Parrin asks to show Adama what they're facing, and Adama agrees to arrange for a shuttle. He asks for the Okaati to remain in the conference area, while directing Apollo to see him in the corridor.
			*[[Starbuck (TOS-DE alternate)\|Starbuck]] attempts jocularity with Grust, asking him what a big guy like him eats: Grust succinctly replies, "Pilots." Starbuck feigns hearing a call from Apollo, joining him and Adama in the adjoining corridor.
