			On 19 September 2006, [[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] received the following message from Bradley Thompson:

			<blockquote><p>Steelviper --</p>

			<p>I asked our office manager, the inimitable Maril Davis, to look into the transcript question and here's what she came up with:</p>

			<p>"You might want to have them contact Lana Kim at Sci Fi publicity (''[Contact Information Withheld]'') or Shara Zoll (''[Contact Information Withheld]'') who deals with SciFi.com."</p>

			<p>I also suspect you're going to have to contact the WGA if you get clearance from SF, but one step at a time. -B</p></blockquote>

			We subsequently agreed on the wording of a request for legal clearance, which I sent to Lana Kim:

			<blockquote><p>Dear Ms. Kim,</p>

			<p>Greetings. I am Peter Farago, and I am a representative of the website www.battlestarwiki.org. We were referred to you by Battlestar Galactica co-producer Bradley Thompson.</p>

			On 9 October 2006, we received the following response:
