After [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck's]] Raptor crashes from Cylon fire during a reconnaissance run on the [[algae planet]], Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]] manages to use datacord from the ship's communication system to repair the flight control console {{TRS|Rapture}}. | After [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck's]] Raptor crashes from Cylon fire during a reconnaissance run on the [[algae planet]], Lieutenant [[Anastasia Dualla]] manages to use datacord from the ship's communication system to repair the flight control console {{TRS|Rapture}}. | ||
[[Sharon Agathon]] directs [[Kara Thrace]] to remove some "slow mode, 1310" datacord from their [[Raptor]] as part of a repair to mate their Colonial [[jump]] systems to the stricken [[Basestar (RDM)|baseship]] to restore its FTL ability<ref>Agathon's warning to Thrace that faster datacord could blow their systems suggests that the Colonials use rated variations of data cable based on speed, similar to the [http://www.networkdictionary.com/networking/EthernetCableStandardsSpecifications.php cabling specifications and speeds in contemporary computer networking].</ref> ([[Faith]]). | |||
