*The two eventually discuss the recent labor problems. Cally, reciting passages from Baltar's book, notes how work throughout the Fleet is divided by class lines, which also happen to be related to how work was culturally based on the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]]. Prosperous colonists from {{RDM|Caprica}}, [[Tauron|Tauron]] and [[Virgon|Virgon]] were mostly in administrative or professional jobs such as politicians and pilots, while colonists from places such as [[Gemenon|Gemenon]], [[Sagittaron]], and [[Aerilon]], which were agrarian or otherwise raw-material sources, had primarily blue-collar populations. When Galen comments that [[Anastasia Dualla|Lieutenant Dualla]] was from Sagittaron, Cally answers that she was promoted only because of her [[Lee Adama|husband's Caprica status]]. | *The two eventually discuss the recent labor problems.

*Chief Tyrol gets a call from Admiral Adama, who tells him of Fenner's arrest for "pissing off the President." Adama orders him to get to the refinery ship and get the fuel supply running. Cally recalls the old [[Colonial Worker's Alliance|union]] on [[New Caprica]] and that, while the scenery has changed, the people who desired change in then-President Baltar's leadership were still around. | *Chief Tyrol gets a call from Admiral Adama, who tells him of Fenner's arrest for "pissing off the President."

*Tyrol arrives to investigate the refinery ship's operation and meets with [[Cabott]], who remembers Tyrol's work as the union leader. He shows him a large cavernous room with a single comparatively small pile of tylium in its center. When asked about the amount of tylium available, Cabott notes that the Fleet would be lucky to get out of this system. | *Tyrol arrives to investigate the refinery ship's operation and meets with [[Cabott]], who remembers Tyrol's work as the union leader.

*The conditions are squalid at best, as many workers move the granular tylium through its conversion process from ore to precursor and fuel. The working conditions are less of the problem, as workers are tired and have very little time off. Work is going much too slowly, and Cabott reminds Tyrol of the harsh work schedules that have greatly reduced fuel production. | *The conditions are squalid at best, as many workers move the granular tylium through its conversion process from ore to precursor and fuel.
