| : ''Out of options, the survivors of [[Maytoria]] decide to attempt to commandeer a [[Cylon personnel carrier|Cylon transport]] to escape.''
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Summary==
| | {{stub}} |
| *When [[Danle Rel]] discovers a Cylon [[Tracking bug|tracking tag]] on {{Alt|Boomer|TOS-DE}}'s clothes, he threatens to shoot him as a traitor until both {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} and [[Maytoria]] resistance leader [[Stadra Ah Mun]] convince Del that the [[Colonial Warrior]] was tagged in the brief time that Boomer was captured by the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}}, unconscious and helpless.
| |
| *Realizing a battalion of {{Alt|Centurion|TOS-DE|Centurions}} may invade the Maytorian stronghold at any time, the humans escape to the lowest level, where the group plans to have the non-combatants escape through the lower tunnels.
| |
| *[[Freg]] gathers the available weapons, knowing that some of their group would fight weaponless in their mission to steal a [[Cylon personnel carrier|Cylon transport]], so that the survivors may escape the planet in the hopes of finding ''{{Alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}''.
| |
| *Boomer and Starbuck convince Ah Mun that their leaders are too zealous, and will likely kill themselves without cooler heads (the Warriors) and a more stealthy plan. Ah Mun agrees.
| |
| *Danle Rel is incensed that the Warriors, who represent a {{TOS|Colonial Fleet|Colonial Fleet}} that has abandoned them, have been selected to lead them. He relents, but shortly after the mission begins, Rel charges forward with a grenade, destroying a Cylon platoon to preoccupy them long enough for the main group to pass. Freg stops [[Srep]] from going after Rel, and the others believe him dead.
| |
| *The group must cross a bridge. Knowing their defensive options are limited, they cross.
| |
| *Midway, they spot a Cylon battalion, including [[Cylon tank|two tanks]]. The team hides. The Cylons nearly pass by until Freg spots the body of Danle Rel lashed in front of a tank, and attacks.
| |
| *The others are forced to fight. The tanks begin their bombardment, and Starbuck and Ah Mun manage to commandeer one, destroying the second tank and other Centurions.
| |
| *Ah Mun hugs Starbuck in celebration, but pushes them against a control that makes the tank move forward. Unable to stop it, the tank plunges over into the river.
| |
| *The others, including Boomer, believe Ah Mun and Starbuck dead. Freg and Boomer continue on, eventually arriving the Cylon [[Central Command|central command]] center three [[Metric|metrics]] from their position. Boomer orders everyone to converge on the large personnel carrier they can find.
| |
| *Ah Mun and Starbuck somehow survive, but have few options to escape other than to open the hatch and hope to swim out. After a kiss for luck, the hatch is opened.
| |
| | |
| ==Notes==
| |
| | |
| * The [[Cylon tank]] is a hybrid between the [[landram]] and the small tank featured at the beginning of the [[Universal Studios]] ride, ''[[Battle of Galactica]]''.
| |
| * The "resistance is futile" statement from various Cylons during encounters with the human forces is a nod to ''[[Star Trek]]''<nowiki/>'s [[Memoryalpha:Borg|Borg]].
| |
| * The entirety of this issue takes place solely on [[Maytoria]], and is the only issue in this {{Comics|vol1}} that does so.
| |
| | |
| ==Analysis==
| |
| | |
| * Why the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}} persist in operating ground craft as if they were individual humanoid entities is both inefficient and mind-boggling. {{Comics|vol2}} does attempt to address this with the introdution of the [[Cylon Heavy Weapons Unit]].
| |
| * As with previous {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}-centric installments from the [[Original Series]], Starbuck seems to be able to "get the girl" ([[Stadra Ah Mun]]) in the end by sheer persistence.
| |
| * Boomer is given a leadership role that, while uncommon in the Original Series, is more common in separate continuity offerings and rounds out the pre-{{Alt|Sheba|TOS-DE}} "Warrior trinity" of the Original Series.
| |
| | |
| ==Questions==
| |
| | |
| * What are the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}}' long term plans for [[Maytoria]]?
| |
| * What of {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} and [[Stadra Ah Mun]]'s chances of survival {{{{Comics|vol1|4|Answer}}}}
