			* ''Athena discusses the [[Officer of the Watch]] position:''

			: It's good to sit in the ''top tier.'' It's good to take a share of the ''responsibility''. Officer of the Watch is my ''favorite'' duty. For twelve hours, I ''run'' the show. I run the ''{{alt\|battlestar\|TOS}}''. There's no ''greater'' responsibility than that. ''This'' is what it feels like to be {{alt\|Adama\|TOS\|my father}}.

	<!--~~== Official Statements ==~~-->		* ''After the [[void lightning]] knocks out the relays aboard ''{{alt\|Galactica\|TOS}}'':''

			: '''[[Xam]]''': Oh, this is ''not'' pretty. The main relay's ''burned out''.
			: '''{{alt\|Starbuck\|TOS-DE}}''': Can you ''fix'' it, Xam?
			: '''Xam''': Sure. ''Sure'' I can. ''If'' I had a drydock, eighty power-shielded techs ''and'' an [[exo-lifter]].
			: '''Starbuck''': You've got a ''g-wrench''. It's going to have to do.

			* ''{{alt\|Adama\|TOS}} assumes his duty shift from {{alt\|Athena\|TOS}}:''

			: '''Athena''': It's been an ''eventful'' day.
			: '''Adama''': No, it's just been ''another'' day. In the struggle to survive, ''all'' days are like this.
			: '''Athena''': Yes, sir.
			: '''Adama''': But as days go, you made a ''fine'' job of it.
