	Later, with Roslin and Adama in the cockpit, the transport captain receives a strange government message over wireless. Roslin answers the concerned faces staring at her for answers that the [[Case Orange\|automated emergency message]] is designed to be sent out when the President of the Colonies and most of the Cabinet are dead or incapacitated. She asks the captain to transmit her government ID code back on the same frequency, then leaves. Shortly, the transport captain delivers an printed response from the emergency system: Laura Roslin is the only known surviving government official of the Twelve Colonies, and she is now President of the Twelve Colonies by emergency succession. She asks the transport captain to find a [[Elosha\|priest]] onboard for her swearing in.

	Approximately 4 hours away from Caprica, the transport captain has located several civilian ships, which now fly with his ship. The small group of ships find ''[[Gemenon Liner 1701]]'' adrift and in need of assistance. As he calls out to the ship, the transport pilot changes his ships designation from ''Colonial Heavy 798'' to ''Colonial One'' in recognition of having the President onboard. The small verbal change in station startles Roslin and brings a smile to the captain's face. Their rescue is interrupted by a second Cylon missile attack. Lee Adama remembers that the otherwise-defenseless transport is carrying some old [[EMP\|electromagnetic pulse generators]] from ''Galactica'' that the passenger ship was ferrying back to Caprica. Adama activates the devices, which disables the missiles, fools the Cylons into thinking that the group of ships are destroyed, and knocks the cockpit crew of ''Colonial One'' unconscious. The transport pilot soon reawakens and brings the ship back up to operation. After he and Roslin find Lee Adama by the pulse generators, who explains what he did, the transport captain wonders if anyone else in the [[Colonial Fleet (~~RDM~~)\|Colonial Fleet]] knew of Adama's trick.

	The small group of civilian ships that Roslin gathers soon becomes a large caravan, which attracts the attention of a Cylon scout. While the transport captain agrees with [[Aaron Doral]] to use every second possible to retrieve as many passengers from the [[sublight]] ships as they could, Captain Adama disagrees, knowing that very little time remains before everyone is destroyed.
