Two [[sectar]]es following Gamoray, he considers transferring command of ''Pegasus'' over to [[Iollas]], his long-time friend of thirty [[yahren]]s and executive officer, as he misses {{alt|Sheba||his daughter}} deeply. | |||
He abandons that idea following the transmission from the last known living {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} woman, [[Kali]], and leads a small team to [[Kali's planet|the interior of the hollow planetoid]] ({{comics|vs|1}}). | He abandons that idea following the transmission from the last known living {{alt|Cylon|TOS}} woman, [[Kali]], and leads a small team to [[Kali's planet|the interior of the hollow planetoid]] ({{comics|vs|1}}). | ||

While separated from his security detail after landing on the planet, he speaks to Kali and {{alt|Iblis||encounters a man}} who pistol-whips him unconscious.

Following Sheba's escape from the brig, she makes her way to ''Pegasus''{{'|s}} bridge finding that the battlestar has opened fire on the two ''[[Galactica]]s''. Kali's control over Cain is broken when she shoots Sheba, who dies in Cain's arms. In retaliation, Cain breaks Kali's neck, and orders all hands abandon ''Pegasus''. With great anger and shame over what he has allowed to happen, Cain destroys the {{alt|basestar|RDM}} that Iblis commands by ramming ''Pegasus'' into it—joining his daughter in death ({{comics|vs|6}}). | |||
