* During the patrol, Breena chides Starbuck on his newest attempted "conquest," Dr. Madusa. Athena apparently was the one who told her, as she relays Athena's belief that Madusa is "out of [his] class." Hightail snaps at the banter, but apologies, noting that he is exhausted and on a hair-trigger due to the dreams he's had. Hightail asks if they've all had the same dream of Earth. | * During the patrol, Breena chides Starbuck on his newest attempted "conquest," Dr. Madusa.

Tigh bristles at Apollo's assertion that Adama's orders are "flawed," and Athena intercedes before the difference in views escalate. | ||
* Adama arrives, with Apollo reiterating his concerns about further penetrating the storm zone, believing it to be the source of the dreams and that the unknown factor, which he calls "quantum tricks," are being played upon their minds. Athena also casts her lot with Apollo, while Tigh sternly disagrees and advocates that their decisions need to be made by the scientific method of "sold facts and the details of our [[scanner]]s." | * Adama arrives, with Apollo reiterating his concerns about further penetrating the storm zone, believing it to be the source of the dreams and that the unknown factor, which he calls "quantum tricks," are being played upon their minds.

* Adama concedes that turning about would be the "prudent and safe option," but shocks them all when admitting that he ignores that option, pressing on because of the dream of Earth that he too has experienced. | * Adama concedes that turning about would be the "prudent and safe option," but shocks them all when admitting that he ignores that option, pressing on because of the dream of Earth that he too has experienced. | ||

* The Fleet's mental health is a feature not truly covered in the [[Original Series]], particularly after such a massively devastating and displacing event. The introduction of Dr. [[Madusa]] is a unique stroke not before discussed, outside of {{{TOS|Adama}}'s statement of the [[catharsis treatment]] to {{TOS|Athena}} in {{OS|Saga of a Star World|prose=y}}, and lays the groundwork for the future issues wherein Adama's own issues are discussed—including the potential of the succession for command of the Fleet. | * The Fleet's mental health is a feature not truly covered in the [[Original Series]], particularly after such a massively devastating and displacing event.

* In keeping with the "everyone pitches in" motif, {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}—and other [[Warrior|Colonial Warrior]]s—are responsible for training and certifying reservists amongst ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}''{{'|s}} crew, including [[Xam]]. This allows non-Warriors the ability to defend ''Galactica'' in case ''Galactica'' is boarded by {{alt|Cylons|TOS}}. In the case of Xam and Starbuck, this allows the reader to get to know more about Xam, beyond that of a "fixer." | * In keeping with the "everyone pitches in" motif, {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}—and other [[Warrior|Colonial Warrior]]s—are responsible for training and certifying reservists amongst ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}''{{'|s}} crew, including [[Xam]].
