[[Lee Adama]] uses ''Colonial One'''s own [[Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series#Faster-Than-Light travel|FTL drive]] to flood an energy coil being stored in its hangar bay with an excess of energy, thereby producing an [[EMP|electromagnetic pulse]]. The pulse confuses the Cylon [[DRADIS]] into displaying a nuclear detonation, and has the added effect of disarming the nuclear warheads, thereby saving the convoy ([[Miniseries]]). | ||
